Thank you for all the wonderful reviews.
Every time I think I'm running out of ideas I read your kind words and something comes up! You make my day.
Hope you enjoy this one. It's one of my favourite chapters because I had the chance to write it from Dan's perspective
Chapter 5
Little J. was at Blair's room changing and putting on some make up, while Blair and you, her own human Cabbage Patch, were cuddling in the counter in the kitchen. She had sent Dorota home and her mother was in a short trip to Italy to see some models, so the house was yours.
"So, are we ok?"
Blair looked at you. "I guess so…but we won't be that way for long. Not until you or I or us talk to her".
"I know." You grab her hands and force her to look at you. You guys stay like that until the clock rings.
"Oh, those are my cupcakes!" you laugh "Well, they're Jenny's, but she said that I could take the credit for them if I paid attention and took them out of the oven when this damn thing rings." she take the trail out of the oven and the cupcakes looked great. "Yayyyyy! I did a good job!" and she jumps up and down for a second. And then she offers you one.
You look at it and then at Blair and say "I don't know, I kinda don't wanna spend the rest of the night on the bathroom".
Blair looks at you defiantly and says "Fine, I'm sure a lot of guys will enjoy this. In fact I can call a bunch right now-."
You grab her by her tiny waist and pull her small frame against your very large one "Hey, hey" she puts her arm around your neck and you say "You're not calling nobody…I guess I can try one of these. For you." You bit the brown thing and it's actually not that bad. But of course if Jenny made it, it had Rufus signature in it. "Mmm, it's eatable I think."
She looks at you. But really looks at you.
"I…you have no idea how much you mean to me."
"Blair—."
"No, I have to tell you this." She looks at you dead serious.
"Ok." You let her say 'cause you know she needs to.
"Nobody has ever made feel like you." She pauses to take a deep breath. "Wanted, desired and…I don't know…"
"Loved?" The word simply came out of your mouth faster than you could think.
She looks at you. "Yeah. I don't if we are ready for that…but yeah. Loved."
"Yeah. I got you." You didn't tell her anything, but deep down you knew that the petite Audrey wannabe that loved causing troubles had stolen your heart.
And you weren't so sure you wanted it back.
You started to kiss her. Slowly and a few minutes later she was on top of the kitchen counter trying to remove your shirt. Your hands were everywhere. In her tights, in her hair, her neck, everywhere.
"B! where are you?"
Oh my Gosh! That was Serena's voice.
You couldn't pull away from Blair faster. You try to arrange yourself as you heard the heel footsteps approaching fast.
Blair was doing the same thing as you and she flew over to the other side of the kitchen to the cupcakes.
She looked at you but you couldn't do the same.
"Hey! There you are!" Serena run over to hug Blair while you coughed a little.
She turned around quickly and said "Dan! Oh my Gosh I didn't see you there!" She run over to hug you this time and to give a kiss on the cheek. From the corner of your eye you saw Blair roll her eyes. Yeah, that was your girl. "What are you doing here?" Serena asked.
"Hey Serena, how are you? I? I just…amm, I just—"
"He came to drop Little J. off. She's upstairs. Getting ready. Which I should be doing too." Blair said and started walking towards the door. "S. I'll wait for you upstairs as soon as you're done. Cabbage Patch, I'll renew my tetanus shot. Bye."
A few months back that comment would have bother you. But you knew that if Blair showed the least kindness to you, Serena or anybody else would suspect something. The hate between you and her had been legendary.
Once Blair had left to warn Jenny about the story she had made up, you thought, you looked at the girl in front you.
If there was one thing Serena Van der Woodsen would never have to worry about is good looks. Her blonde hair was falling in beautiful waves all around her face and back. She was wearing blue shorts, a white t-shirt and a vest. A blue vest that made her eyes stand out. She looked beautiful. Perfect. She looked perfect.
And that was what you didn't like about her. She looked too perfect. Blair had told you a few days back that the reason the people that worked for her mum didn't want her for the campaign was because Blair seemed too perfect, beautiful but not approachable. And they had said that the buyers of Eleanor's clothes could relate to Serena, because she seemed warm and fun.
Ok, although Dan was aware of the fact that Blair didn't look like the nicest person in the world he couldn't see like anyone would relate to Serena. She was one in a billion. He wasn't a girl, but thanks to Jenny, his mum, Vanessa and Blair he had been given the perspective of a woman a few times.
They were insecure. They weren't perfect. Specially teenagers.
So he couldn't quite see how a bunch of girls going through puberty would like Serena. According to what Blair had told him, they would buy the clothes believing that if they did they would look like Serena. Yeah. Bullshit. Or maybe they would. What did you knew?
But anyway…
"I was going to call you after I got here." Serena said interrupting your thoughts and coming closer to you.
"Yeah? Cool." You answered nervously and started playing with your cellphone.
"Yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me tomorrow. You can pick the place" she said.
"Mmm, I'll get back to you on that. Listen, I gotta go."
"Ok." You were heading towards the elevator when she said "Dan…"
"Yeah?"
"I miss you. A lot actually." She let out a breath like she had been wanting to say that for a while.
You look at her. The girl you fell in love is still there. But the things have changed.
For the old times you think.
"Tomorrow, 7:30, I'll pick you up. I'll be the guy in the scooter." You smiled at her.
She smiled even bigger. And hugged you. "Yes." She pulled away a little to say "This could be a new beginning".
"Yeah. It could."
A new beginning. With who? With the blonde or
