"Marry You"-Bruno Mars

"Don't say no Lil. Just say 'I do'. Don't say no to me ever again."

"I could never say no to you, Rufus."

Prologue

It's december, 2018. A cold and heavy winter. 6 years since Serana and Dan have married. They just brought their second child, another girl, into this world and still live in the UES.

Rufus now is a famous, known art seller who owns more than 20 gallerys all over the United States. He has built a giant mansion over the past few years, in which he was going to move this year. But he isn't happy at all, just a few weeks after Dan's marriage, he and Lisa broke up. He knew it was nothing serious right from the start. Since that, he's never been able to date again, his whole focus layed on his own success, he didn't need love anymore.

Lily is now Lily Rhodes again. William was her personal escape, she thought. She wouldn't care if he cheated on her. But what made them split up, was the fact that Lily was a person who needed love and affection, even if she didn't seem like that. William wasn't able to give her the needed love cause of his "work". So Lily also chose to forget about true love and marrying, now. She paid for her physical needings, a new man walked through her penthouse almost every weekend. She knew that that wasn't healthy but it made her feel less lonely, even though she couldn't be any lonier at the time.

Serena and Lily would meet every monday, doing mother-daughter stuff and talking about the latest UES Gossip, mainly cause GossipGirl was over now. Lily loved mondays, all the other days in the week, she would do business stuff as she owns BassIndustries now, but renamed it to RhodesIndustries. Chuck was fine with that, he was doing his own business now, something not so time expensive cause he took alot of care about his family of 4.

note: in this story, every chapter will be kinda inspired by a certain song or phrase of a song, that reminds me of lily and rufus
