Chapter 7
Nate ran into the cab, while the rest of the street honked at the yellow cab to start moving. First his leather shoe came into the car, followed by a khaki clad leg, and then an emerald green sweater. And finally came a gorgeous face, framed by golden hair and set with emerald green eyes and smooth looking lips and skin. Blair's heart started moving like Lancome's new vibrating mascara.
"Hey." Nate said smiling. "Didn't expect to see you here."
"Well, quel surprise!" rang Serena. "How ya doing Natie?" She leaned over Blair and kissed his cheeks.
"Good." he said with a laugh. Blair looked at him and he caught her eye and smiled. "And how are you Blair?" he asked.
"Fine. But better now that your here." she said with a flirtatious smile on her face. Nate's smile widened, and he shifted in his seat. Serena watched their exchange with an amused face. Then the cab driver came to a stop in front of Barney's and they ran out of the cab. Serena threw a hundred over the seat and the cab driver crumpled it up in his hand and shoved it into his I HEART NEW YORK money belt. He wolf-whistled at them as he drove away and Blair looked over her shoulder as he drove away
As they entered the glassy department store, Nate smiled. Blair did too. She was remembering (as he probably was) going shopping together, if you could really call it shopping. Blair shopped, and Nate held her bags like the good boyfriend he was. One time, a gay guy came up to Nate and started flirting with him. Blair sprayed him in the face with a gross cologne and he ran away, his Christian Dior's clacking across the floor. Blair giggled, and she looked at Nate, wondering if he was remembering the same things she was. Then she spotted the new Chanel nail polish, and thoughts of Nate were chased out of her head. But she didn't worry, she knew they weren't to far off.
