"Dan where are you? You are supposed to be picking up Scarlett so I can go to that event for work, remember? Call me when you get this"
"Message Two"
"Dan. You were supposed to be here half an hour ago. I really need to get going now or I am going to be late"
"Message Three"
"Dan. You are over an hour late now. I have dropped Scarlett off at my moms so when you get this you can go and pick her up. Please ring me back Dan"
"Message Four"
"Dan I am getting worried about you now. You have never missed a date with Scarlett. I think its best she just stays at my moms tonight and you can just pick her up tomorrow after school like normal"
Dan frowned and hung up the phone. He had totally forgotten about Scarlett. When Serena had told him about needing to work late, Dan offered instantly wanting to have an extra day with his little girl. Dan felt terrible. He had never let Scarlett down in his life. What sort of father forgot they had to look after their daughter? Dan drank the rest of his scotch. He was going to pick up his baby girl. He missed her and needed to be around someone who loved him no matter what. Dan stood up off the bar stool and stumbled and grabbed the stool for support.
"Are you okay mate?" The bartender asked.
"Yep. I'm good. See you later mate" Dan stumbled towards the door.
"Will you be okay to get home? Do you want me to call you a cab?"
"Nope. Nope. I am fine. I will be back tomorrow. Bye now" Dan pushed open the door and stepped out onto the Manhattan Street. He hadn't realised how dark it had gotten. Dan pulled out his cell phone and rang the first person that came to mind.
"Hello… Dan?"
"SERENA! Helloooo. I am just ringing to tell you that I am going to your moms. Scarlett needs me. I'm sorry about earlier I am" Dan spoke into the speaker.
"Dan what do you mean you are going to my mothers? Do you even know what time it is? Scarlett will have been asleep for hours by now and clearly you are too drunk to be looking after our daughter. Where are you Dan?"
"I don't know what time it is. I want to see Scarlett though. I have let her down today. She wanted to see me today and I forgot. I forgot about my only child. What sort of Dad does that Serena? Blair is lucky she and her baby escaped me. I can't even look after one kid. Chuck is going to be a better dad than me to that baby because I can't even look after my little girl. I forgot about her Serena. I love her and I forgot" Dan lent against a wall near Lucky Jack's.
"Dan, listen. Scarlett is fine. She still loves you. She is going to see you tomorrow. She was fine with going to my moms. And what are you on about? You are an excellent Dad. I don't get what the whole Chuck thing is about"
"OH didn't you hear? Chuck Bass knocked up my wife. Isn't that fucking brilliant when she hated him" Dan laughed.
"Dan I'm sorry to hear that I really am"
"It's fine. I am over it. I am over Blair. Those divorce papers are being written up first thing. I need to get a cab. I need to see Scarlett" Dan stood up from where he had slid down the wall.
"Dan. Dan. DAN, listen to me. You're not seeing Scarlett today. It is half twelve, she's in bed and your not in a good state. Just wait until tomorrow. Where are you Dan? Where are you now?" Dan looked around at the neon sign.
"Ummm Jacks. Lucky Jacks. I am going to get another drink"
"Dan, listen to me. Stay where you are. I am coming to get you. I am getting a cab down there now because I am too drunk to drive. Just stay there Dan. I will see you in a minute okay?"
"Okay Serena. Okay" Dan slurred.
"Okay I will be there in 5 minutes. Bye Dan"
"Bye" Serena hung up the phone and climbed into a waiting taxi.
Serena walked into Lucky Jacks. Dan wasn't outside so she figured that he had gone back into the bar for another drink. Serena looked around and seen Dan sitting at the bar on a stool. Serena walked over towards Dan, her Louboutins clicking on the stone floor.
"Dan" Serena tapped him on the shoulder.
"Serena hey. What are you doing here?" Dan slumped on the bar a little.
"You called me remember. I came to pick you up"
"Serena, sit down. Have a drink. We can have a night off from the kid tonight and just have fun" Serena sighed.
"Okay I will have one drink because I have already had too much and then I will take you home" Serena took off her coat and sat on the bar stool.
"BARTENDER!" Dan called. The bartender sighed and walked over to Dan.
"I will have another scotch and whatever the lady wants" The bartender looked at Serena.
"I will have a blue Hawaii" Serena flashed her pearly whites.
"Make that two please and two scotch's" Dan orders. Serena raised her eyebrow and smiled. Two little drinks couldn't harm anyone.
Serena burst through the front door smashing the front door against the wall. Dan kissed all along Serena's collar bone. Serena pushed Dan's face against hers so their lips could reconnect again. Serena ran her hands through Dan's hair while Dan started to unzip Serena's dress. Serena moaned as Dan relieved her from her dress. Dan began to kiss Serena behind her ear and along her neck. Serena's breathing was quickening as she fumbled to undo Dan's shirt buttons. Dan groaned as he felt Serena's hands run along his chest and down to his stomach. Dan immediately attached his mouth back onto hers and deepened the kiss. Dan rammed Serena against the wall and lifted up one leg so she could hook it around his waist. Dan kept one hand on the lace of her stocking which were unbelievably sexy. Dan lifted Serena up and held her by the bottom while Serena wrapped both of her long lithe legs around him. Serena hand moved from around his neck down to his belt buckle. She easily undid it in two quick seconds and pulled his pants open, breaking the button. Dan moved Serena away from the wall and carried her as carefully as he could up the stairs and into her bedroom. Serena shut the door behind them and brought her mouth back to Dan's.
Serena groaned and opened her eyes a little. The bright light hit her and instantly made her shut her eyes again. Serena could hear her phone vibrating in her bag.
"Mhmm. What time is it?" Serena jumped up immediately and pulled her duvet with her covering her naked body. What the hell had happened last night? She could remember climbing into the taxi with Dan. Both of them more intoxicated than what she would have liked but she couldn't remember anything else. Serena looked at Dan and groaned. She had to admit. He looked good half naked with just the duvet covering his modesty. Serena put her hand on her forehead and lent back onto her pillow.
"Oh shit" Dan turned over and put his arm around Serena's waist as his drifted off to sleep again.
