It's been three days that I haven't heard from Dan, I don't know if I should be worried, but who am I to say anything, I don't even know the guy that much after only going out once.
While Dan was missing, Nate started to get all caring and cute, I have no idea why, but after I started to talk about Dan and care for him, Nate started to walk with me to the cafeteria and he even invited me to get ice cream, an offer I couldn't refuse especially since it was coming from the person I have a crush on.
I was reading at the table while Blair was bossing around her minions when I felt someone sitting next to me.
"Hi" Dan said looking at me with some sad eyes.
"Hey" I closed my book and looked at him. "Where were you? Haven't seen you in school for days"
"Hm... problem with my parents" He said shyly looking at his hands.
"I got worried" I whispered and felt my cheeks getting hot.
"You're so cute" He smiled looking right into my eyes.
"What?" Okay, now I think my face is looking like a red light.
"You're cute, but anyways, I'm sorry if I worried you, I wanna make it up for you" He said charmingly holding my left hand.
"Serena Van Der Woodsen, would you go on a second date with me?" He looked at me and I couldn't stop my smile from growing up.
"I would love to" I said looking at our hands and then at him.
"Ok, Saturday 8 o'clock I'll be in front of your house ringing the bell" He said as I watched him moving my hand and kissing the back of it.
"See you later" He kissed my cheek and winked at me.
Ok... I can't stop my face from burning, I'm feeling butterflies all over my stomach.
"What happened and why do you have this stupid smile on your face?" Blair said sitting next to me as she started to eat an apple.
"Dan just asked me out on a second date" I was controlling myself not to scream.
"Really? When did that happen? And I thought you weren't interested in him anymore" She said looking at me.
"He just did. I thought that too, but he was so charming inviting me for a second date, I couldn't resist it" I said I was getting my books in my bag because the bell was about to ring.
I was getting ready for my date with Dan, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep thinking about things that could happen on the date.
I wore a skinny black jeans, a dark blue v-neck, my favorite snickers and I curled my hair a little bit. I was finishing my make up when I heard a knock on my door, I looked at my clock and Dan was thirty minutes earlier. But wait... why would my mom let Dan come in?
"Hey, are you dressed?" Nate entered my room with his hands on his eyes.
"Oh, it's you, what are you doing here?" I asked and he took his hands out of his eyes and looked at me.
"I came to see you, I missed school yesterday because of my dad and I didn't see you, I missed you" He crossed my room and came to hug me.
"That's so sweet, I didn't know you were like that" I looked at him and held his hand.
"I heard that you're going on a date with Dan" He said looking at our hands.
"Yeah, he is picking me up in a few minutes" I looked at him, something is strange, I don't know what but I'm feeling it.
"So, do you want me to go?" He looked at me with puppy eyes.
I could see a little bit of pain in his eyes. What is happening with him? He has never been like that.
"Uh, I think yes, unless you want to play video games with Eric, but I think he is going out with his friend too" He let go of my hand and shook his head.
"Ok then, good luck on your 'date'" He said the word 'date' with a different voice intonation... is Nate jealous? That doesn't make sense, he is with Blair, he doesn't like me, that's impossible.
"Are you ok?" I'm trying really hard to understand what is happening.
"Yeah" He looked down and walked away.
Ok, I'm so confused right now, why did Nate come here? He said he missed me, but... he had never done that before and the hug? The jealous voice? What? Ok, I'll think about that later, now I'll just go and have fun with Dan.
At exactly eight o'clock I heard my door bell ring.
"Serena, come here!" My mom yelled to me.
Crossing the hall I saw Dan, he was wearing a leather jacket, a skinny jeans and he had a helmet and a bouquet of purple tulips.
"Hi" I said suddenly feeling shy.
"Hey, you look amazing and this is for you" He gave me a big smile, oh my god that smile and that cheek bone.
"Thank you. How did you know that purple is my favorite color?" I looked at the flowers and him.
"You can say that I have my ways" He winked at me and I felt my cheeks blushing, why can't I stop blushing?!
We kept looking and smiling at each other. His eyes were so dark and mysterious that I just wanted to keep looking.
"I should say that I want my daughter back at 10 p.m but since she doesn't go out a lot and I liked you, you can bring her back by midnight" My mom scared me, I forgot she was here, I was so concentrated on looking at Dan that I felt it was only me and him.
"Thanks Mrs. Van Der Woodsen, I'll take care of your beautiful daughter" He gave me a smile and put his arm around my waist.
"I hope you do, and call me Lily" He gave her a smile.
"Ok, we have to go now otherwise we'll lose our plans" He let go of my waist and shook my mother's hand.
"See you at midnight Lily" He smiled at her and walked to the door
"Bye mom" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and followed Dan.
He stopped at the hall outside my house waiting for me. When he saw me he gave me a smile.
"Hello" He said picking my hand and giving a kiss on the back looking right into my eyes.
"Hi" I said looking down trying to hide my blushing face.
"Only you can be hot and cute at the same time" He smiled at me and took me hand interlacing our fingers.
We got outside and I saw a Vespa, did Dan, the bad ass, boy have a Vespa? He is so much more interesting right now.
"A helmet for a lady?" He gave me a charming smile and offered the helmet he was holding since he picked me up.
"I'm pretty sure that's not it, but yes I do" I gave him a little laugh taking the helmet.
"I know that we won't fall because I've been riding this thing for years, but I still don't want your beauty to get hurt, so wear this too" He offered me his jacket with a sweet smile.
"Ok, now hop on and hold tight" He said getting on the Vespa and I followed him. He took my arms and placed them around his waist.
"Now you just have to enjoy the ride and again... hold tight" His voice got airless because of the helmet and I just took the opportunity to hold more onto him.
I can't describe how excited I am, this is the first date that I go to without Blair and I have no idea what to do, I'm doing what my mom says "just go with the flow", I know it doesn't look like it but my mom is the most relaxed person I've ever met in my life, when my brother came out to her, she just gave him a hug and said she loved gay people, but today is not about my mom.
Dan's perfume was getting into my senses, how can he smell so good? I don't know much about men's perfume, the only one that I know is Nate's but it is the same since fifth grade that was when he decided that popular people needed to smell good.
"We're here" Dan said taking off his helmet and I let go of his waist, even though I didn't want to.
I took my helmet off and hopped off of the Vespa with Dan, I was taking the jacket out when he interrupted me.
"You can stay with it if you want, it is getting cold and you don't have any coat" He said gently, making me just wanna hug him, but I stopped myself thinking that it is too soon.
"I see that you are one of those guys who treat girls like ladies, aren't you?" I said looking at him with a smile, he looked down giving me a shy smile, he was about to say something when I interrupted.
"Don't worry, I like that" I whispered in his ear and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Ok, where did that confidence come from? He gave me a full smile and interlaced our fingers again.
I look in front of us and there was a food truck, well, it was not what I was expecting so I totally loved. We were walking when I saw a blond little boy running towards us. Dan let go of my hand, got down and opened his arms. The little boy ran into Dan's arms giving him a tight hug.
"Hey buddy" Dan lifted up the boy in his arms. The boy smiled and looked at me.
"Introduce yourself bud" Dan smiled to me then looked at the little boy.
"Hi, my name is Nick, nice to meet you" The boy held out his hand to me.
"I'm Serena, nice to meet you too" I smiled at him when I saw his little cheeks getting red.
The boy whispered something to Dan and he just looked at me giving me a smile.
"Ok, I know she is pretty, it is one of the reasons that she is here now, so go to your father because I have a date going on here" When Dan said that I was pretty sure the little boy got more red, if that was possible. He just looked at me and waved, I waved back and smiled, making the boy run away.
"He is so cute" I laughed getting Dan's hand again.
"I know. Oh, and by the way, this is my uncle's truck so my aunts and cousins are here. I didn't want you to meet my family at our second date, I was thinking maybe on our fourth or fifth, but second is too soon. But after I was telling my dad about you, he told the whole family and my uncle wanted me to come here" Dan started to ramble and I thought it was so cute and knowing that he was thinking about our fourth and fifth date and he was telling his dad about me made me smile happily.
We found a little wooden table and he pulled my chair, I looked at him and I passed him a sweet smile and he looked away smiling while sitting on his chair.
"So, fourth and fifth date?" I said and he looked at me not getting it at first then the realization hit him.
"Yeah... I like you Serena, you're not what I thought Constance girls would be, and because of that I think we can have a fourth and fifth date" He looked at me and gave that charm smile that I'm getting addicted to.
I was about to say something when some girl came with a little notepad.
"Can I get your orders?" She said giving me a smile and looking like she was going to jump of excitement.
"I want a hot dog and some fries" Dan was holding back a laugh. The girl wrote it down and looked at me.
"Same, please" I gave her a gentle smile.
"Okay, two hot dogs and fries coming" The girl wrote it down and shook her head and was about to leave when Dan started to laugh a little bit.
"Thanks Carol" He said and the girl looked at him angrily.
"Why do you have to screw everything up Daniel? She didn't even know that you knew me" The girl said and stormed out. I was holding back my laughter but when I saw Dan laughing and shaking his head I couldn't hold it anymore.
"Oh man, I love to do that to her" He said cleaning some tears off of his face.
We started to talk and laugh, when Carol brought our food and we started to laugh again and she stormed out again.
I must say, I'm having an amazing time with Dan, we didn't talk about school (or Blair), I got to know him better, we were so comfortable that I forgot that we were on a date.
"So, we need to go now, I'm gonna take you to my favorite place on earth, I wasn't gonna take you there because I didn't know you, but now I do and... I'm rambling, aren't I?" He gave me a shy smile and he was so cute that I wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home.
"You are, but I like it, it is cute" I gave him a full smile when I watched it he look at me.
"I'm not cute" He looked away.
"Yes you are" I grabbed his hand "Let's go, you're going to show me your favorite place" We went towards the Vespa, I grabbed my helmet and He grabbed his, we hopped on and I placed my arms around his waist.
A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry for the wait. I got a huge block, but I already have another chapter ready, it's the second part of the date and I'm going to post it next Saturday. Please review or PM me so I can know that you are reading, not having people reading your story sucks and doesn't help get rid the story block (maybe if we get a few comments I can release the next chapter earlier ;)). And tell me what you guys thought of the chapter. Did you guys thought Dan cute? Should Nate do something? Anyways, see you guys next Saturday.
