Thanks for your support everyone! I am really enjoying writing this story. I can't seem to get enough of it. Glad to see you're on the same page as me. On another note I am still looking for a Beta for my story. If you have interest please email me at and I will get back to you as soon as I can. The beginning of this chapter brings her maid into it and believe me the maid will have a part in this story so this was needed for the plot.
I own nothing! I would love to own Chuck and Nate but oh well I'll just play with them for now.
After I got that text from Chuck I decided to make sure I was properly packed for the trip. I went in and found my suitcase by the door of my room. I had left a list for my maid to do this morning. I picked up my suitcase and placed it on my bed and started going through it. Pulling the items out by outfit. My maid had done well. She had packed everything that I had asked her too. I was actually thinking about keeping her when I moved out of the hotel. After the trip to Paris I decided I would take my friends to look at places with me. After neatly placing everything back in the bag I decided that it was time to get some sleep before tomorrow. When I awoke in the morning Sylvia was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Good morning Ms. McPherson." Sylvia said as I walking into the kitchen.
"Good morning Sylvia." I said with a smile. "Thank you for packing my bags last night you did so wonderfully." Not many maids would know what I meant when I said my White Jimmy Choo's not my white monola blonics.
"Thank you Ms." Sylvia said with a little blush.
"Sylvia do you have a family?" I asked wanting to get to know her a little better.
"I do. A husband and 2 wonderful children." She said and I smiled.
"Do I pay you enough to support them?" I wanted to know she was on the verge of a raise.
"Yes ma'am." She said looking at me. I nodded my head.
"Sylvia I am buying my own place after my trip to Paris tonight and I was wondering if you would like to stay on full time as my maid at my place." I would have to hire more staff still but I liked this lady. "The job does come with a nice raise. And I will be staying on the Upper East Side so it shouldn't be more of a commute."
"I would be honored Ms." The lady said placing a stack of whole wheat pancakes in front of me.
"Its settled." I said with a smile. "While I am gone could you please come and check on the place once a day? Other then that you have the weekend off."
"Thank you Miss." Sylvia said.
"Sylvia please call me Anna." I said smiling at my maid.
"Yes Miss Anna." She said walking around the kitchen tiding up. I looked at the time and realized that I had slept in and had to meet S in the lobby in an hour.
"Hate to eat and leave Sylvia but I have to get ready for the trip." I ran out of the kitchen and up to my room. I grabbed my outfit and went into the bathroom. I took a shower; blow dried my hair and straightened it. I then applied light make up and got dressed. My outfit was skinny jeans and a dark brown tank top. I threw on a green and brown scarf and dark brown boots. Next I grabbed some gold jewelry and my brown and green purse and headed downstairs. Sylvia had already had the doorman take my two suitcases down. When I got to the lobby S was already waiting for me with Chuck.
"Morning you guys." I said as we got into the limo. It took us about an hour to pick everyone up and get back to the airport. Once at the airport we all boarded my private jet.
"Wow Anna your jet is amazing." S said looking around. It really was. It had leather plush seats that had heat and vibration. It had a fully stocked bar and the back had been turned into a bedroom for my longer flights.
"Thanks." I said as the fasten seatbelts sign went on. I had hired a flight attendant for the trip. As soon as we took off we had her make us all a drink. I got up and walked over to where S was sitting and sat beside her and Dan for a minute. They were wondering where we were going to stay but I kept my lips sealed. Then I grabbed S and B and took them to the back room. "He's not even sitting by her." I whispered looking at Chuck who was sitting as far from Jenny as he could.
"I don't know Anna looks like he is serious about getting you." Serena said looking at the picture before her.
"Yeah well I think that I could have a good thing with Nate." I said smiling as I looked at Nate who was sitting and reading a book. He looked so sweet.
"Anna you are so back and forth between them." Blair said with a shake of her head. "Cant say I blame you I did that too." With that comment we all started laughing. We walked back to the front and S sat by Dan and B sat by Carter and I walked and sat next to Nate. He looked over at me a smiled and went back to his book. Before I knew it I was asleep on his shoulder. I woke up with about 2 hours left in the plane ride and decided to turn on a movie as we freshened up. I couldn't look a mess coming off of a plane. I was expected to look perfect at all times. I restraightened my hair and applied some make up. I then made sure there were no wrinkles in my outfit and got ready to exit the plane. When the plane landed in the airport we quickly went and got our stuff and headed for the exit. The flashbulbs were going off everywhere taking pictures. Apparently I was still big news in France too. As soon as we got into the limo it took us to our hotel. The Hotel Ares Eiffel. A hotel where if you got the right room you could see the Eiffel tower. I had rented out all six of those rooms for us.
"Wow Anna." Jenny said as we piled into the lobby of the hotel.
"Ahhh Ms. McPherson you are here with your guests." A lady said running up to us. "I am Mrs. Thomas the manager of this hotel." I shook the ladies hand that she was offering and followed as she showed us to our respective rooms. I had Nate go with her to the sixth room so that she didn't leak anything to the press and so she didn't make a big deal about the extra room. After she left Nate quickly was in my room with me. When he came in I was looking out our window at the Eiffel tower something I had seen in picture books but I had never seen in person. Suddenly I felt arms wrap around my waist and turned to see Chuck not Nate. Nate wasn't in the room his luggage was though.
"Nate went with Jenny to go find out if she left her purse on the plane." Chuck said leaning down so he kissed the top of my head. I nodded and turned around. For some reason I didn't want to end this moment with Chuck.
"You know I have never seen the Eiffel Tower in person." I confessed to him.
"Me either." He said as we looked at the Eiffel tower from the window. "Anna why is he staying with you?" Chuck asked and for some reason I couldn't come up with a good enough reason while standing in Chuck's arms.
"Chuck…" I said turning in his arms to see his blue eyes full of some emotion. I couldn't tell which one it was but there was emotion there. Before I knew it my eyes had closed and his lips were against mine. A minute later Chuck pulls away just before Serena and Blair walk into the room. Great now I would have to explain this to them. Maybe they could help me figure this out.
I know I always leave you at a cliffy but really I need to think where I want to go with this. Does she tell Nate? Does she not since their not official? Does she go to chuck? Does she hold out a little longer? Does chuck do something that scares her away forever? If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
