Defining the Relationship - Georgina's Side

(Part 1)

There was no flowers, no declaration of love, and there was most certainly no DTR as far as Georgie was concern.

She wasn't sure who began this… well, whatever it was and of course she wouldn't consider it some type of relationship. She guessed—at best— that it was a fling, but that sounded very high school-y and she was well past that stage in her life. In fact she couldn't remember most of her high school experience, so the idea of this would-be fling was moot point. She wasn't even sure of where this was going, if she was being honest with herself.

She had no idea what to make of Jack Bass, or how he had just become a constant in her mundane-ish life. Still, somehow between that initial met at the park and now, Jack was just always there. Whether it was her fault because she allowed it or his because he clearly could not resist her charm, she couldn't say.

Georgie wasn't sure when he started coming around more often than not. Or even when Jack started to get use to Milo's presence and vice versa. She couldn't—for the likes of her—remember Philip complaining that Milo was being raised by the uncle of a murdered and then her asking for a divorce. She did remember that it was the first time Jack and her fucked on the counter of the kitchen table of the townhouse that she shared with Philip. That was nice, actually it was incredible. She had to take some credit for it being amazing, considering that she was the one who initiated it.

She doesn't remember the messy divorce because who wants to remember their first marriage that eventually was suppose to crumble? Especially, when said the person who got divorce, hasn't even reached their 30s.

How awful.

Still not the end of the world and Georgie has seen and done worst. She does what she does best at time of crisis; she suppresses this memory like she has with so many other things. It's better this way, she reminds herself, it isn't like Philip won't bounce back.

And he does, with his divorce lawyer. Robert Wyle. It doesn't sting and in fact she's happy for him, she isn't so happy that he abandons her five year old son one day out of the blue. But still happy that he's finally getting some love that he never got from her. And she wonders when she turned so soft, she blames Jack of course.

But Milo… oh Milo. He doesn't ask questions and while she knows it must hurt him, he didn't react. He was still the same passive child from before Philip's departure and he still acted as if Philip would turn up every day. Jack assumed he was in shock and maybe some therapy might do him some good, but Georgie refused to send him to a shrink on the count that she had seen a few doctors and they were absolutely no help at all.

When Philip returned, Milo finally cracked and hid away in his room for five days. There in after, every time Milo couldn't face something he hid from the world, until he reached a solution. She figures when he got older, his room wouldn't be where he'd run to. But that was another matter for a later day.

Still there's not a lot that Georgie wants to remember, and that's fine with her. Such as every time that Jack has mentioned the word 'relationship' and his endless talks about adopting Milo. She didn't remember them being that serious.

But he's persistence... And she's in denial. It was Dan who brought that all to a halt. It was during their weekly brunch meets, the ones that neither Jack nor Blondie approved but they did it anyways.

"Have you been listening?" Dan asked impatiently.

"No." She had no reason to lie to Dan, considering that he was one of the only people she could rely on besides Jack. In the passing years, Dan had turned into one of Manhattan's top best sellers to New York Times columnist. Serena and him had broken up as it would seem and Dan was having a bit of difficulty trying to process that. But there was only so much whining one could do in the past god knows how many years.

Yet, this was Dan.

Dan, who had been amazingly supportive of her 'relationship' with Jack, had given her decent advice, and was asking for the same courtesy. She hated feeling this pang of guilt that she couldn't care less that Serena had walked out on him again. But this was Dan, her best friend who was still asking stupid questions.

At least he stopped looking offended by her bluntness.

"Actually, this isn't about Serena." Georgina cocked her eyebrow and waited for the very analytic Dan Humphrey to continue. "Not in a sense anyways, she went to L.A. and… But actually I wanted to talk about is Milo."

"What about Milo?" she asked, "Last time I checked he was in perfect health…"

"Not that I don't believe that he isn't," he paused for dramatic effect, "but how are you with the adoption and everything? And do I get a say? I mean, I know technically Milo isn't mine, but my name was on that certificate."

"Nothing is set in stone," she answered briskly, "And not to worry Humphrey, Milo is still a Humphrey. I do owe you that much after all."

Dan grimaced. "The details are still engraved in my mind, thanks." Georgina smirked and it faltered after a moment of silence.

"He won't leave," Dan said after a moment, "he stayed this long, didn't he?"

"I'm not… I'm not questioning whether he's staying or not," she said defiantly, "Jack adopting Milo is so much more… It… Milo won't take to kindly when someone else leaves."

"At the risk of my own neck, Jack loves Milo," he said it in that a matter-of-fact voice of his, "and you guys have formed his odd family…"

Georgie snort. "I think I've had too much of this feel good movie scene for one day." She got up and left some money on the table. "This was fun, same time next week?"

Dan nodded. "Yeah, sure," he sounded defeated, but then added, "He loves you, and you have been dancing around the issue long enough. Don't you…"

"Goodbye Dan."

Without another word Georgie left Dan alone with his thoughts and leaving her to wondering about a few things.


I hope you enjoy :D thanks for all you're lovely words!
