So, so, so sorry for the wait. I know, I suck. Internet has been really gay.
"Serena!" Blair burst open the door the next morning. She ran around Nate's apartment (the one she would be living in if they didn't break up) until she hit the bedroom. She saw Nate and Serena sleeping, surprisingly they both had their clothes on. "Serena!" she screamed again.
Serena and Nate both shot up. "Oh, hey B," Serena said tiredly.
Nate rubbed his eyes. "Oh, I love that the door is open," he said sarcastically. He threw the covers off of himself and got up. "I'm going to get something to eat," he said as he started walking out of the room.
"What's up?" Serena said, a little awake now.
Blair sat at the end of the bed. "You know how a while ago we talked about going somewhere?" she asked with a smile. Serena nodded.
Nate came into the room with a sandwich and a glass of water. He walked to the bed on the side where Serena was sitting, and he sat right next to her. His bottom was half off the bed, and half on. Serena looked at him dazzlingly, and stole his water. He laughed. Blair scoffed. "What're you guys talking about?" Nate asked with his mouth full.
"Blair was just starting to talk about the time we all talked about going on a trip," Serena informed him. "Keep going Blair."
Blair cleared her throat. "Okay, so Cyrus and my mom started looking for cruises. On May 23rd, we fly to the Caribbean, and take a cruise for seven days, then fly home on the 31st!" she said happily.
Nate and Serena looked at each other. "Ooh, sounds fun! Is Chuck going to go?" Serena asked.
Blair shrugged. "I hope so. I haven't pitched the idea to him yet."
"Sounds cool, we'll be there," Nate said as he nodded.
Blair nodded. "Well, I'll leave you two… alone." Her phone dinged. She opened it to see a picture of herself, then, she quickly read the caption. "The bitch is no longer? You haven't seen bitch until you meet Blair Waldorf," she muttered to herself.
"What's that B?" Serena asked.
She shook her head, not looking back at Nate and Serena. "Nothing. I'll get Chuck to text you later Nate."
Once they heard the door slam, Nate kissed Serena. Serena pushed him away and got out of bed. She started walking to the kitchen, but turned her head to look at Nate again. He was watching her intently. Serena laughed and pulled her shirt down so it would cover her a little bit more than before. Nate laughed, got up, and followed her into the kitchen. Serena was in the fridge. "Don't you think that Blair and Chuck haven't been themselves lately?" Nate asked. He leaned on the counter and took a sip of water.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked from the fridge.
Nate exhaled. "They aren't Chuck and Blair. Chuck is way too distant."
Serena laughed. She took her head out of the fridge and ended up with chocolate pudding in her hand. "Well, Dr. Nate, if he goes on the cruise, they'll have lot's of time to reconnect."
A week went by before Chuck actually responded to Blair's invitation for the cruise. He replied by saying he couldn't, because he had to work. Blair spent a day shopping by herself. She got her mind off of Chuck. She just felt that Chuck was going to break up with her.
Two days later, Nate and Serena met up with Blair, Cyrus, and Eleanor at a airport. They flew to the Caribbean together. They got onto the dock right away. The yacht wasn't the biggest, but it looked beautiful. The top was white, and the bottom black. Serena smelled the air. It smelt like salt, and that was her favorite. She looked around. She saw a girl with very long, blonde hair, and a taller guy with short, brown hair. "The Humphrey's are here?" Blair asked in disgust.
"Dan!" Serena shouted. Nate sighed. He didn't want Dan to be there. Dan and Jenny came up to them. Dan and Serena hugged. "What're you guys doing here?"
"Dad thought Jenny should get out of the house, and he got these free tickets from one of his shows. So…" Dan said awkwardly, he was staring at Nate, who was giving him the death glare the entire time he was talking. "We gotta go," he said quickly.
They got on the boat, and when it set off, Blair, Serena, and Nate were already in their bathing suits. "Tanning?" Nate asked once they got on deck. He didn't want to tan, he wanted to swim around.
Serena laughed. "Don't worry Nate, the pool is right there."
They set up lawn chairs right next to the pool. Serena and Blair started tanning, and Nate jumped in the pool. Serena's bathing suit was white, with gold string over it. Blair's was black with hot pink designs on it. Nate's bottoms were just blue. Blair had gotten them for him. Nate was now holding onto the side of the pool, looking at Serena. "It's amazing out here," Serena said with her eyes closed.
"Tonight is going to be even better," Blair said with a sigh. She was over Chuck. If he didn't try to spend time with her, she wasn't going to try to spend time with him.
That night, they got dressed up, and went to the deck. Nate was wearing blue jeans with a black shirt. Serena was wearing a see through white dress—which was very short—with her black bathing suit underneath. Blair was wearing her tightest dress, which was black, and pretty short.
There were lights everywhere, tables everywhere, and a dance floor in the middle. It looked like the scene from Dirty Dancing. They sat at a table, and looked around. There was a man, who was very tall with brown hair walking over to their table. Nate and Blair sighed. They knew that man was coming up to hit on Serena, so Nate grabbed her waist tightly, so the man would see. Yet, after seeing the waist grabbing, the man kept walking to their table. "Hello," he said.
Nate put both of his elbows on the table and dug his face into his hands. "Hey," Serena said happily.
The man looked at Serena, then at Blair. "My name is Marcus. Yours?"
Blair sighed. "Blair Waldorf." She looked at him and smiled. Marcus was very good looking. He was formal, and elegant. "Would you like to sit?" she asked, signaling him to sit next to her.
"Actually, I'd like to dance," he said with a smirk. He reached for her hand. She hesitated. Blair looked at Serena, who jerked her head to the dance floor with a smile. Blair grabbed Marcus' hand and he pulled her up, and walked to the dance floor.
"Serena, what are you doing?" Nate asked.
Serena whipped her head to face Nate. "What?" she asked.
"Blair is with Chuck…"
"So? It's not like she's cheating on him, it's just a dance," Serena said. Nate sighed. "Nate, go dance with a girl, I won't mind. That's how you'll know it's just a dance."
Nate raised his eyebrows. "Did you just challenge me?" he asked with a smile.
Serena drank some of her mohito. "Maybe." She got up so Nate could get out of the booth. Nate smirked and did. He looked around for the most eligible bachelorette. Jenny Humphrey was sitting at a table all alone. He looked at Serena, then walked over to Jenny's table. Serena laughed. She saw Nate talking to Jenny, and Jenny laughing. She smiled, then looked over at Serena. She quickly turned back to the table and drank the rest of her mohito. Nate smiled, and brought Jenny to the dance floor, and started slow dancing with her.
Serena smiled, and crossed the dance floor. She saw this man, with stubble, but it was cute. "Hey," she said. She felt like Marcus.
"Hey," he said with a smirk.
"Wanna dance?" she asked. His friends smiled, they obviously thought Serena was good looking, and wanted their friend to dance with her. He nodded. They walked to the dance floor, and when they did, Serena was staring at Nate. "Serena van der Woodsen."
Her arms were around his neck, and he was tightly holding onto her waist. "Aaron Jones."
Serena smiled, and looked over at Nate again. The song stopped, and then a faster song started. Serena got closer to Aaron, and started moving her hips. Aaron hands followed her hips. It got hot and heavy. The dance floor was crowded now. Serena and Aaron weren't the only ones having a sweaty moment. Aaron moved forward so his forehead was touching Serena's. That's when somebody grabbed Serena arm and pulled her away from him. She fell into Nate's arm, and he kissed her. Serena smiled as she kissed him, and then she pulled away. "Do you want to go sit by the pool?" she whispered in his ear.
Nate nodded and ran with Serena out of the room. She was giggling the whole time, and she felt Aaron's eyes locked on her. As they were just exiting the room, she heard one of Aaron's friends say, "Dude, you just got ditched!"
Spotted: S getting hot and heavy on the dance floor. With who you may ask? The best guess is N, but no. S was dancing with a new boy. From our sources, he is Double A. N dancing with Little J. What's the deal N? Are you and S non-exclusive? If so, can the rest of us get a piece?
