'God this is awkward' I thought reaching for my glass of water.
The only sounds coming from our table were the scratches of our forks against the fine china and the oblivious drawling of Lily, Eric and dad's voices. Serena and Dan were to busy avoiding each others eyes. Blair was glaring at me while digging her nails into Chucks arm causing him to flinch and look at her with an eyebrow raised and an almost wicked expression on his face (I don't even want to know what that's about). Of course this was all made worse by Nate continuously looking over at me.
Could he be anymore obvious?
I blindly reached out to grab a croissant from the basket and just as my hand touched one, a familiar hand enclosed my wrist bringing back a flash from last night.
He pushed me against a wall outside his apartment complex and enclosed my two hands in his larger ones before stretching them above my body, effectively trapping them. His hands sensually moved down from where he was holding my hands and encircled my wrist, pinning them separately against the wall. He slowly leaned forward, his eyes never straying from mine, before giving me a gentle kiss. It started slow but effectively picked up pace.
I quickly snatched my hand out from under his, croissant forgotten. I could feel my face heating up and tried to calm myself. I peeked over at him and saw him trying to hide a smile. I didn't quite understand what he was trying to pull but it better stop now.
"Okay I bet your all wondering what this is about," Dad said effectively pulling me out of my musing. We all turned are attention to him and Lily at the head of the table. They were holding hands and smiling. Again. To be honest I'm a little afraid their trying to coax us into joining a cult. "Well Lily and I have a bit of an announcement to make and we wanted all of our family here with us so what better time," He said making me even more curious.
"Honestly Rufus just get on with it." Lily said giving him an adorable smile.
"Okay well. We're engaged." He said a goofy grin spreading on his face. Not hearing the immediate desired response he quickly grabbed Lily's hand pulling her against him before speaking again. "We'll just give you a minute to digest this information." He said pulling Lily behind him out of the room.
We all sat there in silence deliberating over what had just happened. Selfishly all I could think about was how this was going to affect Dan. Not that I wasn't happy for dad. I loved Lily. The only thing I have against her is that she has a whore for a daughter and you can't pick your kids. I had never seen my dad so happy since he's been with Lily.
But I couldn't help but think about how bad this was going to be for Dan. I mean having to see your ex-girlfriend all the time because she's now your step-.
Suddenly I burst out laughing causing the whole table to look at me.
"What's so funny?" Dan asked irritably. I tried to sober up enough to tell him.
"It's just-" I had to stop for a second still laughing at my new realization causing Dan to shift impatiently in his chair. " I mean, Dan, you slept with your stepsister." I said bursting out laughing again. I composed myself enough to say something else, adding to the mortification Dan must be feeling right now. "Too bad your gay cause we could of kept this all in the family." I said to Eric causing him to chuckle. I looked at everyone else at the table to see Blair and Chuck trying to hide smiles of their own, Serena looking at Dan with wide eyes, Dan stubbornly staring at the wall and Nate had his jaw clenched. Weird.
I stood up excusing myself and walking towards the ladies room.
A/N: So I'm sorry about how short this is. I kind of had a bit of writers block and basically this is all I could come up with. Thank you so much for reading and reviews are always welcome.
