Okay, so it's been a while since I've updated. My computer crashed… and then I spent a week at the beach, which sucked. But I scribbled some ideas for Chapter 4 on a piece of paper, and now here I AM! YAY! Okay, so enjoy Chapter 4- It's about to get dirty! Read and Review!

Chapter 4- N ignores B, but not S

It had been a week since Kelsey's party, and Blair had been calling Nate constantly. And he had been ignoring them constantly. One afternoon, at about 1:30, his phone rang again. He groaned.

"Blair, leave me alone," he grunted and put a pillow over his head. He heard the machine click on, then a loud beeping sound.

"Hey Natie! Um, it's Serena. I haven't heard from you in a while and I'm just checking to se if you're okay. Maybe we can do something today, because I'm fucking bored! Just give me a call as soon as you can. Love you! Bye!"

Nate smiled underneath the feathered pillow over his head. It was always good to hear from Serena.

It had been a week since Kelsey's party, and Serena hadn't heard from Nate since then. From what she remembered, Nate was acting very strange that night.

"Maybe I should just give him a call," she mumbled. She picked up her phone and called Nate's line. She got the answering machine. She bit her lip as the message played. She hated leaving messages. It reminded her of the time when she first came back to New York and thought everyone would be so happy to see her, but she was pushed aside.

BEEP!

"Hey Natie!" She sang. "Um, it's Serena. I haven't heard from you in a while and I'm just checking to see if you're okay. Maybe we can do something today, because I'm fucking bored! Just give me a call as soon as you can. Love you! Bye!" And she hung up.

She tossed the phone to the foot of her bed. Of course she wasn't bored, she had plenty of things to do, like go to Barney's (even though she had already been there this morning) or go to…

Yes, she was bored.

Serena sighed and looked outside her window and down onto Fifth Avenue. She smiled and closed her eyes. Oh, how she loved this place.

The phone rang and she jumped. She grabbed the phone and answered it on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Serena," Nate said.

Serena smiled. "So you got my message?"

"Yes, so do you want to hang out today?" Nate smiled.

"Hell yes! Blair's dad is visiting her so we can't do anything until tonight. So you want to go get a bite to eat together?"

"Sure, I'll be by to pick you up in a bit," and then Nate hung up.

Serena hung up her phone and walked out of her room. Her mother was there.

"Serena! There-"

"Sorry, Mom, I'm going out,"

"With who?" Mrs. Van der Woodsen asked.

"Nate," and Serena walked out of her apartment and out of her building. She walked across the street and sat down on the Met steps to wait for Nate.

It had been a week since Kelsey's party, and Nate hadn't been answering Blair's calls. It pissed Blair off bad when Nate just left the party. Serena told her that he had said he'd talk to her tomorrow, and a week later- here she was, shoe shopping with her extremely gay father, Nate-less.

"So how is that hunky boyfriend of yours?" Mr. Waldorf asked.

Blair frowned. "I haven't talked to him in a few days."

She refused to tell her father that she hadn't talked to Nate in a week. She thought it would make her look like she wanted to call him her boyfriend, even though they don't talk.

It would make her look desperate.

"Ah," her father said, as if that explained everything.

Blair looked up at her father and his bright white smile against his suntanned skin. She looked at the sidewalk and sighed.

"What's wrong Blair Bear?"

"Nothing," she said as they turned into Barney's.

"Hey! Over here!" someone called out as he walked up to Serena's building. He turned around to see if someone was talking to him and he saw her. Her pale blond hair, her dark blue eyes, and her tall, slender frame. He ran over to her.

"Hey," he said softly. She smiled.

"What do you want to do?" she asked. She was up to just about anything.

"Well, since it's your favorite store, I thought we'd go to Barney's," he smiled.

Serena smiled and nodded. "That's awesome!" And they walked off toward Madison Avenue.

She wasn't about to tell him about how she'd already been there this morning, just because she was that nice.

Oh, and going out with your best friend's boyfriend is just as innocent as can be?

"BLAIR! LOOK AT THESE!" Her father bellowed as he put a box of shoes into her outstretched arms. "Oh. My. God, AND THESE! Those would look so sexy on you!" He put another box on top of the original box. Blair sighed and rolled her eyes. She set the two boxes down.

"Daddy, I'll be right back, I have to pee," she said as she walked off to the restrooms.

"Okay, Blair Bear, I'll be right here!" he called to her as he rummaged through more shoes.

"Here we are," Serena said as they walked inside Barney's. Her face lit up and her grin broadened. Nate grinned.

"Let's go to the perfume section!" She grabbed Nate's hand and ran over to the perfume department.

Of course, Blair didn't really have to go to the bathroom, she just had to get away from her father for a few minutes. She started walking toward the perfume section, looking around as she went.

"Wow, I love this place," Serena awed. Her hand was still intertwined with Nate's, and his heart was pounding.

"Yeah," he said. He couldn't really think of much to say.

Serena looked at him and smiled. Nate stared into her gorgeous eyes and leaned in.

Here we go again.

They stood there kissing when out of the corner of Serena's eye, she saw a brown haired girl who look familiar.

"Shit!" she said. She grabbed Nate's hand and dragged him behind a rack of clothes.

"What? What's wrong?" Nate asked. Serena put her finger to her lips to indicate that he should shut his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Nate whispered.

"Blair," Serena whispered and she pointed to the back of abrown haired short girl in a short white skirt, a black halter and four-inch black heels. She had a killer tan and when she turned around to look at a purse, Nate's heart skipped a bit. Blair. Man, he missed her.

Hello!

Serena waited until Blair turned away again to say something. "So, are you guys together?"

Nate nodded. Then shook his head. Serena quirked a perfectly plucked eyebrow. Nate looked at her and nodded again with a confused look. Serena giggled. Then kissed him again.

Tsk, tsk, tsk…

Nate smiled as they kissed. When she broke away, he stared at her, wondering if something was wrong.

"I know you and Blair are together," she whispered, answering the question on his face. "Even though you might not. But, we had our fun, and I won't tell," she winked at him. He nodded, understanding.

Blair turned around again, checking her cell phone. She sighed, then pressed a button and held it to her ear.

Suddenly, Nate's cell phone started vibrating.

"Shit!" he whispered, trying to get it out of his back pocket before it started ringing like crazy.

Too late.

Nate sat on his phone, trying to muffle the ringing. Blair was looking around while she held the phone to her ear. She started walking toward their rack, squinting. Nate closed his eyes, praying Blair wouldn't discover them.

Just as soon as Blair was a few feet closer, a huge booming, gay voice came running toward her.

"BLAIR BEAR! I bought all of these shoes! You're going to just die!" A tall, buff figure ran to Blair and dropped 7 boxes of shoes at her feet. Her eyes widened and she dropped her cell phone. As she dropped it, Nate's cell phone stopped ringing and it went to voicemail.

"Oh, Daddy! Thank you!" Blair jumped up and down. Of course, she knew she didn't need another 7 pairs of shoes, but she loved shoes.

She grabbed her cell phone off the ground, grabbed a few boxes and ran out of Serena and Nate's sight, her father following her.

As soon as they left Barney's, Nate and Serena breathed a sigh of relief. Then Serena started laughing, and as soon as she started laughing, Nate started laughing. They walked out of Barney's and down back to Fifth Avenue, taking Serena home.

"So, no telling Blair about how we went out for a day without her knowing, right?" Serena questioned Nate.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Nate chuckled.

"Good," Serena said. They walked in silence for a while.

"And no telling Blair about how we kissed each other?" Nate asked.

"It never happened." Serena smiled.

"So it will never happen again?" Nate looked at her, almost sad.

Serena frowned. "I'm afraid not, Natie. I mean, you're Blair's, not mine."

Nate nodded. "One more for old times sake?" he asked hopefully.

Serena smiled and kissed him sweetly.

Then as they pulled apart, she pointed her finger at him seriously. "And no telling her about that, okay?"

Nate smiled and whispered, "It never happened."

Oh, but she will find out. But Serena and Nate can dream right?

When Nate dropped Serena off at her building and they had hugged and kissed each other on the cheek goodbye, Serena ran into her apartment, picked up her phone, and punched in a few numbers quickly, barely looking at her phone as she did.

After a few rings, Blair picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Blair! It's Serena," Serena bit her lip, hoping Blair hadn't found out about her and Nate's little rendezvous at Barney's and just didn't say anything because she wanted to be sneaky about it.

"Hey!" Blair sounded perfectly fine.

"Okay, I've been bored all fucking day! It's time for you to come over!"

"Okay, I'll go home and pack and I'll be right over," Blair said and hung up.

Serena smiled as she hung up her phone and put it on the kitchen table. As long as Blair didn't find out, she'd be okay.

Okay, so there is Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is going to start when Blair comes over and spends the night at Serena's, and as soon as you start reviewing this chapter, Chapter 5 will be up. You know you want to know what happens next, so REVIEW NOW!
