This thing kinda Works out with the sequence of these chapters…

8. Date Night

Nate and Jenny made their way through and out of The Palace quickly, chatting and laughing. Outside, a black Chuck Bass-like limo waited for driver was waiting to open the door, but Nate told him off and opened the door for Jenny himself.

"Thank you" – Jenny smiled at him as they got in.

"At your service, Miss." – Nate bowed down before getting inside next to Jenny, smiling.

"Silly!" – She hugged and kissed him as soon as he sat next to her.

The whole way to the cinema was like this, full of laughs, and kisses, and cuteness. Even the driver smiled as he saw their reflection in the mirror and heard their laughs.

Once at their destination, Nate got out of the limo and helped Jenny out. They walked up to the building holding hands and smiling, just like before.

The line at the counter wasn't too big, thankfully, as they were already running late. Nate bought the tickets, popcorn, two cokes and a heart-shaped lolipop for Jenny that he hid behind his back.

"This is for you" – He smiled as he presented her the sweet.

"Silly!" – Jenny laughed loudly as she took the lolipop and licked it. – "It tastes good…but I know something that tastes better, you know" – She winked at him.

"What do you have in mind?"- He got closer to Jenny, looking at her seductively.

She didn't answer. She just kissed him.

When they broke off, Nate burst into laughs.

"You have absolutely no sense of romance whatsoever Jenny."

She hit him on the arm and they walked to the showing room, Nate carrying the popcorn and Drinks, Jenny licking her lolipop.

The movie, The Ugly Truth, passed by quickly. They have actually seen some of it, but I wouldn't be sure any of them could tell you the story.

Yes, they would laugh at the right times, 'cause they weren't completely oblivious to the movie, but though they were not touching more than holding hands, most of the time at least, they were lost in each other. They were discovering each other. Every laugh, every inch they moved, every way the lights from the screen reflected on them in the darkness.

They walked outside in a completely different mood. This time they were very quiet and dreamy, a late effect of the cinema atmosphere.

The second they were outside, the limo from before was waiting for them. This time, Nate let the driver open the door for them. Again, he helped Jenny inside.

Jenny was very shaky now. She was still dreamy from the movie, but she was also worried about Nate's sudden silence and what would happen next. What was wrong with him? She'd thought everything had gone exactly right. She couldn't understand his silence, but she didn't dare to ask, endangering the perfection of the moment, and that made her nervous and quiet.

She needn't worry though. Nate was in a state much like hers, minus the nervousness. He was dreamy with the movie, the way she looked tonight and how his plans had gone so well so far. It was as perfect for him as it was for her. To have her, the girl he wanted the most, here with him, and give her the best date possible, the one she deserved. It seemed almost impossible to him that it was happening.

Fourtunately, he woke up from his dream just in time to feel the change in Jenny's mood, and talked, just to break the silence. Like he had guessed it was just what she needed. At the moment, it was what he needed. To get her talking, to shake this dark feeling off from above their heads.

"So, Jenny, I am taking you literally to the best place to eat in this town tonight." – He smiled, as he stroked her hair. – "Are you ready for that?"

"I don't know. Is it fancy?" – New worries started going on her head. Was she well dressed? Was she capable to behave the right way?

"Oh yeah…I even have a tux hidden in the back" He saw Jenny's worried look and smiled. "Come on Jen! You'll be just fine. And by the way we're here."

Nate helped a very nervous Jenny out of the limo. Outside, an evening breeze washed over their heads, giving them a new calm. Jenny almost tripped over her feet though, but Nate caught her. He laughed slightly and she blushed.

After the incident, Jenny finally dared to look around. It was a good time for it, she didn't feel like looking at Nate after the silly incident. She looked around and saw an unfamiliar neighbourhood. It was nice, though she didn't know where she was.

Nate took her hand and walked her up to a nice, gold painted building. He held the door for her like in the movies. She couldn't have been prepared for what was inside.

This had all been Nate's idea. A place like this felt just right for a first date, especially if they were "going slowly". The lights were dim, and the whole decoration was in tones of gold, but in contrast, you could hear loud, cheerful music. And more surprising of all, people were eating…pizza!

"Nate! What is this?" – Jenny asked as soon as she was able to get over the shock and close her mouth.

He laughed.

"That's just the reaction I expected." – He paused for a moment to make sure she wasn't going to kill him. – "Well, since we'e going slowly, I thought I shouldn't take you somewhere overly romantic..Or expensive for that matter. And they do have the best pizzas. Do you even like it?"

Now was Jenny's turn to laugh in relief.

"Yeah, I love it!" – She was being honest here, the idea of going to a fancy restaurant seemed really scary to her. – "About the pizzas, we'll see." – She said, teasing, as they walked up to a table a waiter had indicated.

The dinner went on very quickly and quietly. They'd fun, enjoyed themselves, and the food. Jenny could have sworn this would be the best night of her life.

"The pizza was really good indeed." – She told him teasingly again as they walked back to the limo.

"I told you so." – He smiled and answered in the same tone.

"And do you think I believe everything you say Nate Archibald?" – She continued.

"Probably not. But would you please believe what I'll say now?" – He was serious now. He had stopped just in front of the limo.

"I guess…What is it?" – Jenny shifted her weight uncomfortably.

"I love you." – He had searched for her eyes to say it right into them.

"I love you too, silly." – She answered with the biggest smile of the night.

Then Nate did the unexpectable – he took Jenny into the limo in his arms.

Sadly, it wasn't long before they were back at The Palace. Nate had wanted to go up with Jenny and say hi to the van der Woodsens, but she preferred it otherwise, so they said their goodbyes beneath the full moon's light.

"See you tomorrow." – She told him as she let go of the last kiss.

"I'm not sure I can wait that long." – He smiled sadly.

"You have to." – She said as she walked away. "I love you" – She whispered.

"I love you too." – Nate replied as she walked away.

She didn't look back, but if she had, she would have seen him looking after her as she went inside.

Jenny decided it would be nice to say goodnight before going to her room, so she stopped at the van der Woodsen suite for a minute. She found both Serena and Lily up. The boys were in their rooms. Oddly, Chuck too.

"Good girl. You actually got here early." – Was Lily's greeting. She was smiling though, and there was nothing sarcastic about her voice. This was a jokingly compliment.

"I'm trying to be good." – Jenny smiled back. Did she know about Nate?

"How did it go?" – Now it was Serena who asked, barely hidng her curiosity.

"Tomorrow." – Was Jenny's enigmatic answer. It was more than enough for Serena though.

"I'll be going to my room now. We have school tomorrow." – Jenny excused herself as she felt her cell vibrate inside her little purse. – "And you better be ready on time tomorrow." – She winked at Serena.

Jenny kissed both women goodnight and walked into her huge suite. It always felt empty at night, so big it was. She took off her clothes and make up and then she saw the text on her cell.

Dream of me. Love you. Nate.

She smiled. Quickly, she texted back.

Surething. I «3 U 2. Jen.

She got under the covers, turned off the lights and had another Nate filled night of peaceful sleep.

Hope you enjoyed it. Cross your fingers for me to remember to this finish this soon.
