It was 7 p.m and Dan and Serena were still sitting together since the morning, they ate, watched movies talked about everything and anything, they even played some Wii and laughed their hearts off. The pair couldn't deny how much they got along and they couldn't be more thankful for that.

"I know that I promised you to feed you some home cooked meals, but come on Serena, breakfast lunch and now dinner? Aren't you asking for so much?" he joked after hearing Serena's stomach grumble in the middle of them watching TV.

"I can't help it that you're a really good cook. It's your fault for taking care of me" she joked back knowing that he really enjoyed taking care of her.

"Well I can't help it either, I mean with you being sick and sad. Anyone would've served you seeing you this helpless."

"Yeah well I'm glad it was you and not anyone" she said now looking into his eyes. Dan eyes shifted from her green ones to her lips. He wished he could kiss her so bad, but he didn't want to step any boundaries. They were enjoying themselves, but he didn't know how she would take it if he actually made that move. Serena noticed this and decided to approach him a little, as if telling him she wouldn't mind him kissing her. They both approached until they were mere inch apart when Serena backed off and put a hand over her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have, uh sorry." said Dan cursing himself for ruining it.

"No I, it's just that I, I got the flu and you can't kiss me you'll end up being sick too" she said blushing.

"Do I look like I care?" he said and he shook her head a no. and with that he removed her hand from her mouth and he held her face with both of his hands before crashing his lips over hers. It was brief at first before it got more and more passionate, breaking the tension that have been building up over the last two days. They both finally broke the kiss to gasp for air. Dan placed his forehead over Serena's.

"Wow" they both said in unison smiling slightly at that.

"How do you feel about going out? Not today, tomorrow night. " suggested Dan still holding on to Serena.

"Like on a date?" she asked surprised to see him ask that.

"Yeah, we can get to know each other's better and it would be fun"

"Okay, tomorrow night is great"

"Fine, then you'll be home from work by 7p.m. I'll pick you up by 8 how does that sound?"

"I'll be waiting for you Dan Humphrey"

"Cool. I think I should take off then, I've been here since yesterday don't want you to get bored off me" he joked standing up still holding to her hands. He didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to ruin their chance of getting together, and he knew that by staying there, something might happen between them.

Serena stood with him as they walked slowly towards the door, and he gave her a quick peck before leaving.


Dan didn't sleep a pink last night, he spent the whole night going through everything in his head, picturing Serena and thinking of topics to talk about in case they ran out of them. He was overwhelmed, feeling everything at once, excited to go on a date with Serena Van Der Woodsen, afraid something will happen to blow it off, happy to know that she likes him back, nervous about what's about to happen between them. He wanted to plan something special for Serena, he knew that a first date tells a lot about a guy, sure they hang out at her place and kissed, but that was different. He was officially taking her out and he knew that this must be like the 100th first date she's been to when on the other hand, it was his first first date ever. Sure Dan has been with girls before, but it never meant anything. It was strictly for pleasure and none of them could even compare to Serena. He wanted to do something really romantic to show her how much she means to him, he thought and thought until it hit him. He knew exactly what would be a great date with Serena.

Dan waited until it was 11 a.m before texting Serena.

Can't wait for tonight, wear something comfy-D

He smiled happily and began to count the hours until his date with Serena began.


Serena couldn't understand what was happening with her. She woke up and turned facing the chair where Dan was sitting the morning before and recalling his cute face sleeping. Her feelings were mixed and she couldn't get herself to stop smiling. She felt like a teenager again crushing over some boy she saw at the mall. But that wasn't like it, with Dan she saw the future, she felt hope and optimism.

She got off bed and looked herself in the mirror, there was something different about her. She was never sad or miserable, but she sure as hell was happier now and Dan was the reason why.

She was at work when she received Dan's text and her heart started to beat faster, her hands sweating. He was as excited as she was. Something comfy, what does he have in mind? She fidgeted in her seat wishing time could just fly by so she could finally see him again and go out with him.
