Chapter 3 Cocktails at the Clinton's
When Serena and Blair arrived they spotted Catherine at the bar
"S you wait here I'm gonna go get us some drinks"
"What are you up to Blair?"
"Don't worry your pretty little head; I have got it under control"
"God help us" Serena said as she watched Blair walk over to the bar
"Well hello Catherine"
"Oh hello Blair"
"So where's your husband"
"He is off on business"
"Hhhmmm, well just a word of advice watch yourself, Or I might have to get nasty and pay him a lil visit"
"Oh yeah" Catherine chuckled "and what could you possibly have to say to my husband"
"Oh honey I wouldn't have to say anything, I would just have to show him a few things and you can say Bye Bye 5th avenue Hello Brooklyn"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I think you know" Just then Chuck and Nate walked up
"Oh hey Nate, Hi chuck, Come on Serena is over her" Blair said glaring at Catherine as she led them to Serena
"What is that little bitch up to" Catherine thought to herself
"Serena look who I found, Nate and Chuck"
"What a surprise" Serena said sarcastically
"Chuck why don't you walk with me to the Ladies room" Blair said as she slipped her arm in chucks and they walked away
"Serena can we go sit and talk"
"Yeah okay"
Serena and Nate found a table out on the balcony, when they sat down Nate reached out and held Serena's hand
"I don't really know even where to begin Serena, But to apologize for everything, When I saw you kiss Dan I couldn't take it, I thought we maybe had something going and then he just came in an took it all away"
"But I didn't kiss him Nate, He kissed me and then I took off to find you, last night with you was so great, it feel so easy and right like that's how it should be, and then I called you when she answered your phone, I lost it I couldn't take it, I thought that last night meant nothing to you, that you were just with me while her husband was with her"
"No Serena it's nothing like that"
"Then why did you go to her"
"Because I thought you were getting back with Dan and then I saw you guys at breakfast and I was sure you picked him"
"I didn't I told Dan that need sometime to figure everything out because right now I don't know what to do all I can think about is the way it feels when you kiss me"
"I think about that too" Nate said as he leaned in to kiss her
Just as they were about to kiss Catherine walked by and spilled her drink on Serena
"OH MY GOD" Serena screamed
"Oh my Gosh I am so sorry, I tripped" Catherine smiled
"Yeah I'm sure you did" Blair said walking up from behind
"Kinda like this" Blair said as she poured her drink down the front of Catherine's white lace Versace dress
"Ooooppppsss I'm sorry, you better go take care of that I think Red wine stains" Blair laughed
"You bitch" Catherine said as she stormed off
"Blair you are great" Serena said hugging her friend
"Yeah I know" Blair smiled, "now let's get drunk"
"Sounds good" chuck said as he pulled up chairs for him and Blair
The group sat and enjoyed cocktail after cocktail, they all were having fun and Chuck and Blair were even getting along when who shows up? Dan Humphrey of course
"Hi Serena"
"Oh hey Dan"
"What are you doing here don't you need an invite" Nate said flatly
"I actually was invited"
"Oh really, by who" Blair was getting curious
"By Catherine she called me and told me that you were upset and wanted to talk to me" Dan said looking at Serena
"Oh my god she really doesn't give up does she, Well neither do I, it's on" Blair said crossing her arms
"So I'm guessing that you really didn't want to talk then Serena so I will just go" Dan turned to walk away
"No Dan wait I didn't tell her that but maybe we should talk, I'll be right back you guys, Get me another drink"
Serena and Dan walked down the Stairs and on the beach
"Okay so I don't really know how to say it so I'm just gonna say what I feel, I do still have Love for you Dan, I'm just not sure that we should be together, I mean it shouldn't be so hard it should be easy"
"But Serena I love you"
"And I love you too"
"But you're choosing Nate"
"Yeah, No I don't know with him it fits"
"Why cause he's a upper class snob and fits in your world"
"No you that isn't true me and him just click and I have always liked Nate but Blair got him so I had to let him go"
"Yeah until you went behind her back and had sex with her boyfriend, real classy"
"Ya know what Dan, thank you"
"For what"
"For making this so much easier" With the Serena walked back up the Stairs, right up to Nate Sat on his lap and kissed him, while Dan watched sadly
"This isn't over" he said to himself
"Well what was that for" Nate said as he held Serena tightly
"For everything"
"Well I say we all head down and have a bonfire" Chuck said winking at Blair
"Sure sounds fun, I'm gonna go tell Chels that we are leaving"
Okay well we will wait for you down on the beach" Serena said to Blair
"Okay see you in a few"
Nate kissed Serena on the cheek "I'm gonna go to the bathroom and I will be down there"
Chuck and Serena Headed for the beach to wait for Nate and Blair
While Nate was in the bathroom Catherine came in
"Hey baby"
"What do you want Catherine, Were done"
"Aww baby you know you want me just as much as I want you" Catherine said as she started kissing him on his neck
"No Catherine, I want Serena"
"Haha haha" Catherine laughed
"Goodbye" Nate said pushing Catherine off of him and walking out the door, not realizing that Catherine and taken his phone out of his pocket
Blair saw Nate walking out of the bathroom fixing his clothes and hair and wiping what looked to be red lipstick off of his neck
"What the hell Serena wasn't wearing red lipstick" Blair said to herself just then Catherine came walking out of the bathroom, She saw Blair and walked over to her
"Damn he's good" Catherine smiled and walked off
When Blair got down to the beach Nate was already there helping chuck start the fire
"Serena on second thought maybe you should give Dan another chance"
"What" Serena Nate and Chuck said in unison
"Well I think he's the better man"
"Wow wait a sec Blair what are you talking about"
"Well I just that maybe Nate's not quite done with Catherine yet"
Serena looked at Nate
"What are you talking about Blair" Nate said coldly
"Well Nate shouldn't you tell Serena about you and Catherine in the bathroom less then 5 minutes ago"
"What" Serena yelled "Again Nate, I can't believe you, I'm going home and don't follow me" Serena grabbed her stuff and left
"What the fuck Blair"
"I'm not gonna let you keep hurting her Nate, Come on Chuck, I'm Drunk and you look good in orange" Blair said grabbing chucks jacket

Serena woke up that morning feeling worse then the day before, she decided to text Nate, they had a lot to figure out
"Nate When you get this give a me call, I thing we should talk about last night" Serena sent the message and went to shower while she was getting dressed her phone went off
"What is there to talk about Serena, Its done, I have Catherine I don't need you, Please don't call or text me again, I have nothing more to say to you other then Goodbye"
Serena couldn't believe what she had just read she immediately felt the tears welling up she decided to call Blair
"Hey Its Blair leave me a message tootles"
"Damn it Blair where are you I need to talk"
Serena hung and went to chucks room, maybe he knew where Blair was, immediately after she walked in she wished she would have knocked, in the room Chuck and Blair were both asleep naked
"Oh my god"
"Hhhmmmm" Blair groaned as she opened her eyes and stretched
"Serena what's going on?"
"Um huh I will come back"
"What why" Blair said looking down "oh my god I'm naked"
"That you are kitten" Chuck said waking up
"OH MY GOD no, no way, no way in hell" Blair jumped up grabbing the sheet with her, following Serena out of the room
Once they were in Serena's room, Serena started to laugh
"Well I guess you had a good night"
"Ha very funny, I really shouldn't drink"
"Well go shower and then I need to talk to you"
"Okay I'll be right back"
While Blair was in the shower Serena walked back to chucks room
"Knock knock"
"You may enter"
Chuck was putting on his clothes when Serena walked in
"So Chuck how was your night"
"Lets just say eventful"
"Yeah I can see that, I came to grab Blair's stuff"
"It's over by the fireplace"
"Okay well I will see you later"
"Are you girls coming to the polo match today?"
"Most likely"
"Well I will see you there I'm off to meet Nate"
"Oh well have fun with that" Serena said as she shut the door when she got back to her room Blair was already out of the shower and dressed
"So S what's going on?"
Serena pulled up the text from Nate and handed her phone to Blair
"OMG that son of a bitch"
"Yeah well I give up, he wants me to leave him alone and I will"
Serena's phone went off it was chuck
"Hey Chuck"
"Hey Sis you have a guest, I saw him on my way out"
"Okay I will be down soon" She said hoping it was Nate
"Blair I will be back"
"Well hurry I'm having a mother CHUCKing crisis
When Serena got halfway down the stair case she saw Dan standing with a bouquet of white roses her favorite
"You look amazing"
"Thanks Dan, this is really sweet but what are you doing here, after last night"
"I thought about what you said last night and I realized I'm not giving up, I want to be with you and If you want it to be easy then I will make it easy, Come to lunch with me this afternoon"
"I'm going to the Polo match" Serena said, she could see the sadness in Dan's face "But if you want to come with me and Blair you can"
"Great what time"
"It actually starts in an hour and a half but if you just want to meet us there that would be good I kind of have to help Blair with something right now"
"Okay I will see you then" Dan leans in and kisses Serena on the cheek
Serena said goodbye and went back to her room, once Blair saw the flowers she said "oh don't tell me you took Nate back just because he gave you flowers"
"Actually it wasn't Nate; it was Dan he asked me out to lunch"
"And you said..."
"I invited him to join us at the polo match"
"Oh how fabulous" Blair said finishing her makeup
"So about your mother CHUCKING crisis..."
"Ugh I can't believe that happened Marcus can't find out"
"Blair you know that you want Chuck, you don't even like Marcus"
"Not true I didn't like James but Marcus is different"
"Why because he's a lord"
"Well maybe, but that's besides the point, Chuck is incapable of loving anyone but himself"
"I don't think so"
"Well I do I don't even want to think about this anymore, lets just go to the match"
