Chapter Four
Chuck's POV
I woke up to the sound of my ringtone. I rolled over and saw the time. 6:45 and Constance started at 7:05. I jumped out of bed and snagged my phone. Nathaniel was calling me. I pressed ignore and went to the bed room to wake Danielle up. She looked so peaceful and I had to disturb it becuase we had to go to school. I slowly crept behind her on the bed and layed down next to her and kissed her on her head. "Danielle, we're late for school you have to get up." She rolled over and pulled me closer.
Danielle's POV
"Where am I?" I mumbled. "You're in my bed. I took the couch so you would be comfortable." Even with bed head his hair still flowed perfectly into place. He was somewhat dressed-Just pants and a tie so far. I pulled his tie so our eyes were inches apart. He smirked and kissed my lips. I swear I melted right there. We were kissing for about five minutes until there was a knock on the door and Chuck's phone began ringing. He looked at the phone and whispered, "Nathaniel." He threw me some clothes and brought me to the bathroom and said, "Get ready, be quiet." He flashed a quick smile and closed the door after pecking me on the cheek.
Chuck's POV
I knew Nathaniel was at the door so I looked in the mirror to fix my hair and to make sure there were no love bites. I walked over to the door still fumbling to put the rest of my clothes on. I opend it up to see Serena van der Woodsen with two coffees. "Hey Chuck!" She sounded eager. I wasn't really excited to see her here. Nathaniel probrably called me to tell me that she was told her I liked her, even though it was just a cover up. She knew I was late and was practically pulling me out the door. "I'll meet you at school Serena." I backed up and closed the door. THAT was a close one.
Serena's POV
I pulled out my phone as I was getting into the elevator and called Nate. I assumed Nate lied to me to embarass me and get a laugh so I was pretty pissed. "Nate what the hell?" He laughed a little, "What? You seem pissed." I was raging,"Of course I'm pissed Nate, you tell me Chuck likes me and then he slams the door in-" He sounded surprised, "What do you mean he doesn't like you, Serena I swear he told me last week he was in love with you. He was to scared to tell anyone."
"Chuck, too scared? Yea, nice try Nate, he didn't seem to happy to see me. Almost as if he was in a rush to get back to his room." It suddenly got really quiet. Nate's voice became serious. So Serena, when are we going to tell Blair what happend between us?" I cut him off, "No, Blair can never find out, she's my best friend and you're her boyfriend and after all it is the reason I left for boarding school. It would ruin all of our friendships."
Danielle's POV
As i was finishing up there was a knock on the door and I heard Chuck's soothing voice,"Are you decent?" I heard a chuckle. "Yeah" I yelled back. I was wondering who was at the door but kept it to myself. Chuck came up behind me and hugged me from behind."I don't want to do this but we have to take seperate cars to 's too risky and I don't want you getting any shit from Blair about me okay? Try and stay off her , after school meet me on 5th ave and we'll come back here and talk." I got butterflies in my stomach because whenever Chuck said he wanted to bring a girl to his room and talk,it was usually to seduce her. But, I had a feeling this would be different. As we walked out Chuck put his arm around my lower back and guided me to the elevator. Before the doors opend he kissed my cheek, and we went our seperate ways for the day.
Chuck's POV
Honestly,I hated the thought of sending Danielle off in a different direction. I was afraid she thought I was a jerk for leaving her, but I wasn't. As I walked out of the car I over heard Nathaniel and Serena arguing so I got closer so I could hear.
Serena: "No, Nate, Blair cann not find out what happend at the wedding."
Nate:"But, she's your best friend she deserves to know"
Serena: "But i just got her to like me again, I don't want to ruin it"
Nate: "Look, Chuck already knows, he caught us. He might tell someone. It's better if she heard it from us."
After hearing what Nathaniel said I knew exactly what they were arguing about. Before Serena went to boarding school, Blair and Nate attended a wedding as a date. Serena ended up taking Nate's virginity on a bar and I just happend to walk by and catch them. Blair never found out though. I had turned around for a moment and saw Danielle walk by,I smiled and tried to not make it obvious that we were falling for eachother. As I stood gazing at her I felt a hand on my shoulder. Nathaniel seemed upset, "Dude, why'd you turn down Serena?" I didn't know what to say so I just muttered " I don't know, nerves?" Nathaniel chuckled, "C'mon, you, scared? Serena thought you had a girl in there." I paused, "No, just running late." Just then the bell rang. Nathaniel patted my shoulder, "I'll see you later.' I tried my best to not stare at Danielle all day. All I could think of was her beautiful hair and her smile. I got antsy just thinking about seeing her after school.
