Never in her wildest dream that she would wake up after drinking and feel so good in the morning after and she turn to look at the side of the bed where Dan is and he's not there. She knows that they way Dan moves inside it doesn't seem like a quick fuck but why is he gone? She wonder and put her hand on her face and shake it again. "What have I done?" she said to herself because she know now that Dan left her alone after he wakes up and see Serena as a stupid mistakes. She got up and look herself in the mirror "what have I done?" she said to herself, she get ready to go out from Dan's apartment. She opens the door and was shock to see Dan vacuuming the floor with an Ipod on, dancing like there is no tomorrow. She cannot help but smile at him; she took her phone out and takes a video of Dan dancing and playing air guitar with the vacuum.
After a few minutes of having fun watching Dan dancing and singing, she did not realize that Dan is actually going to turn and face her. No turning back now. There! Dan is looking at her as if he is looking at a ghost. He plugged out his headphone and switched off the vacuum "hi!" is all she can say to him and smile. She don't know what last night means to him but it certainly did change something on her, she wants to be with Dan but she still have feeling for Nate.
"Hi!" Dan smiles back as awkward as it gets, Dan walk a step closer to Serena as he realizes that he's holding Serena's bra and stop. "I…I… was just cleaning the mess" he says handing Serena her undergarment and blushed.
"Thank you" she says blushed too.
"I've made breakfast" he says "and I woke up super early and I don't want to wake you up… and…" he says trying to find a word to say but he keep on mumbling "orange juice?" he ask and Serena nodded.
10 minutes later…
"Thank you Dan!" she says eating her scramble eggs and some toasts. She wanted to ask Dan about last night but she is too shy. It is weird; she is not even shy with many people but this just it. She is shy around Dan for the first time.
"About last night?" Dan finally wanted to clear the air with Serena. He needs to be the man and ask about what happen last night. He is still confused about it but he does not want to make Serena think that it is just a plain sex because both of them were under the influence.
"What about it?" Serena asks casually.
"Well…" he says again and this time he was interrupted by Serena's phone "Nate?" he ask disappointed and Serena knows it as it shows at how Dan look at her and she nodded "well, you should go and see him" he says.
"You were about to say something?" she says politely "about last night, Dan?" again Nate is buzzing Serena on her phone "I have to go," she says.
"Of course!" he says watching Serena taking her handbag from his bedroom and smile at him when she leaves the apartment.
He wonder what last night means to her. She is falling for her more deeply than ever and he knows that he is setting himself on fire. He check his email once Serena left the apartment, thinking by now Serena and Nate will have a quite lunch together somewhere and secret rendezvous while Dan is suffering from the pain and Blair is clueless about them seeing each other again. He reads an email from his mother and replies it as fast as his heart is beating, he is not thinking clearly.
Central Park West
"Nate, why are you calling me?" Serena ask annoyed "we're over!" she says finally realizing that she just said it, she had the courage to say that to him and she's proud of herself now "wow!" she says and Nate look even more confused "I finally said it!" she smiles.
"So you're breaking up with me for that Prince?" he says annoyed "just because he is a prince?" he says again looking angrier.
"No, because he is a nice person and he takes time to get to know me. Unlike you!"
"Unlike me?"
"Forget it, you can have your happy ending with Blair. I wasted my time coming here when I could have spent my time with Dan," she says.
"Dan?" he call out his name "what will you do? You do know that he is leaving to Ireland?" he says with a slight of victory on his face "his dad is sick!"
"Of course he didn't tell you Serena!" Nate smirks "Dahlia just told me on the way here!"
"I have to go!" she says panic "I have to see him!" she says and this time Nate catches her hand "Nate!"
"I don't want you to leave me!" Nate begging her "I don't love Blair, I love you!" he says pleading but Serena seem not impressed.
"I wish I could say the same about you but I don't love you Nate!"
"It can't be!" Nate is grabbing her hand stronger this time and try to kiss her.
"Let her go!" a voice interrupting them and it's Blair "I heard everything!" she says approaching and Nate finally let Serena's hand go.
"Blair, I!" Serena wanted to say something but Blair was too occupied and she watches Blair slapped Nate like she never slap anyone before "Blair?"
"I'm sorry!" Blair says hugging Serena and cry "I should have trusted you from the very beginning and I should be mad at Nate more than I am mad at you" she says "and Dan is right!"
"I need to go Blair!" she says smiling "I need to stop Dan from leaving" she says wiping her tears "I didn't tell him how I felt about last night,"
"Last night?" Nate finally ask and both Serena and Blair look at each other.
"We don't need you!" both says in unison and pushes Nate in the pond with the ducks and they both look at Nate smiling.
"Now, you have to go to see Dan!" Blair says and she try to text Dahlia and she replied straight away "you have to be fast, he'll be at Hudson Helipad in 30 minutes" Blair says panic "I'll try to let Dahlia knows that you're coming to see Dan. Now go!" she says pushing Serena away.
Serena is crying inside, she can't believe she left Dan when he was about to say something to her but she need to see Nate and settle the empty pieces in her heart. She know now that all she ever wanted is Dan. Dan was there when she needed a friend, he was there when things seem to fall down, he steps in into a role to protect her and now he's leaving New York city to Ireland without Serena telling him what she really feels about last night. Dan need to know. She keep on telling herself that she is going to make it. The traffic on the Westside highway is getting bad.
"Can you go faster" she ask the cab driver and he just shakes his head.
"If you want, you can walk!" he says.
All Serena could do now is pray inside that Dahlia can help her out this time. Dan need to know how she feels, she knows that she treats Dan like a toy sometimes but that when she was confused and now she know what she wants. She wants Dan! The traffic is bad.
