Apartment, Morning
"Morning" Dan greeted to everyone at the table. He takes a sit and pours himself a cup of tea.
"What are you going to do today Dan?" Rufus asked, looking at Dan. Dan has been back for awhile now and he still hasn't figure out what he want to do.
"I have an interview today actually" he answered "which I don't know if I want to go" he look up at Carter and Serena who is approaching the table "and a real estate agent is going to see me later, for me to view some apartments around."
"Apartments?" Lily asked "you don't have to do that Dan, you can always stay here."
"As much as I love being here, I..." he said looking at Serena and Carter again, Blair caught the glimpse from Dan's face and she smile "not very comfortable, as I'm a grown up now"
"Good luck with you interview, you're looking sharp and I know you're going to get it" Blair said with a smile. She's there early as she's helping Jenny with her event, more like an event that Blair wanted. "we're still up for the viewing right?" she asked again and Dan nodded with a smile.
Serena have been watching the way Blair treats Dan and Dan smile towards Blair, it's not comforting. Something inside of her is telling her that, Blair likes Dan way too much.
"I'm off!" Dan said getting up from his hair.
"Good luck and call me after" Blair said serious and nudged Dan.
Central Park West, afternoon.
Blair and Serena spent the whole afternoon together shopping. They packed food to eat at their regular spot in Central Park. Serena can't help to think about Dan and how he's doing with his interview, while Blair is busy texting.
"Who are you texting so much B" Serena asked curiously, part of her knows it's Dan but she still want to know.
"It's Dan!" Blair answered.
"You're closer to Dan now, anything I need to know?"
"What? No! We're friends and you know since NYU we got closer"
"Right"
"S, you got your Prince Charming and Dan is still searching for his happiness. I'm just his friend, I sure you that" she said assuring Serena that she's a friend to Dan.
"No, I mean... Dan and I, we ended things pretty bad. Unsettled"
"Maybe, he left New York..." Blair wanted to say something but her phone rang "sorry, it's Dan" she said picking up her phone.
"He got the job, I got to go to see Dan!" Blair said happy but still concerned about Serena "I'm not his girlfriend and you my dear, will follow me to view the apartments too" she said.
"No, I don't want to. He didn't invite me" Serena said with a weak smile.
"You want to know, who Dan's dating now right? She said looking at Serena and she nodded "so it's compulsory for you to join me" she said.
"Dan and his girlfriend is moving in together?" she asked.
"I don't know if they will but this is not his girlfriend yet, Dan have a crush on her... that's all I know"
Butter Restaurant, night
"So, did pick anything that you like?" Blair asked Dan, who is getting annoyed by this new girl he's with. "Dan?"
"Sorry, I got to go out for a while just 5 minutes Kelly, would you join me outside please?" he asked politely, raising his eyebrow to Blair while making Serena confused.
"What's going on?" Serena asked.
"Looks like Dan is bored with this new girl" she said.
"Is this always happen B?" she asked.
"Not always but since NYU, he can't stay loyal or committed to a girl" Blair said looking at Serena, "Look S, maybe Dan left you because he love you so much"
"How can leaving someone, make them love the other person?" she asked confused.
"Sorry for that and you're right about this one Blair" Dan said.
"So, tomorrow Lily and Rufus is going to have that big family dinner right?" Blair asked.
"Yeah, do you know what is it for?" Dan asked Serena.
"No"
Upper East Side, night
"Sorry that we have to walk home" Serena said while walking, she just want to walk. Don't know why she want to do this at 11PM but she just feel like it.
"It's a good night, walking should be interesting" Dan said.
"Look at them!" Serena said pointing at the couple in front of them, kissing and laughing. That's how Dan and Serena before Dan left New York. "Why did you leave me?" she asked sadly.
"C'mon Serena!"
"I need to know Dan and it's not that I want to be with you now" Serena said.
"Yeah" Dan said sadly, part of him just wish she didn't say that. "I don't approved our parents getting together and I'm not going to pretend to actually approve them when I'm not" Dan said sincerely "doesn't e mean I don't love you."
"Dan, I didn't..." she wanted to say something when Carter's car stops at the sidewalk and saw Carter asking her to go in the car and Dan nodded "I have to go, want to come?"
"It's okay, I want to walk for a little longer" he said.
"Bye"
As the ride home, Serena is still digesting all the things Dan just said. He didn't leave her for another girl but he wants her mum and his dad to have a shot.
Read and Review
This chapter is kinda short, I know but it's just a filler for the next. It's their parents surprised! What surprise, I'm not going to tell. It's huge for Dan and Serena. Where will they go from there? What should they do?
