Yes, another chapter. Don't expect too much though.

And one scene here is shamelessly stolen from a commercial. (If you're a Filipino, you'll know which.)

"I like you Blair Waldorf, would you go out on a date with me."

He stared back at his reflection. Hm, that didn't sound so bad. Maybe just a little bit more confidence and Dan Humphrey could stand a chance with Blair Waldorf.

"Okay Dan, you could do this." he started "She might hate you and she might be the Epitome of Girly-Evil but she's the Epitome of Girly-Evil that you also happen to like, so pull yourself together." he looked back at the mirror again "Argh..." he groaned. "Okay, giving yourself a pep-talk in front of the mirror doesn't really work."

"Hey Dan." Serena van der Woodsen walked in the room.

"Serena! What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I came to see you." she answered simply.

"About this morning-"

"It's okay." she cut him off "Blair explained everything."

"Everything?"

"Everything. Drunk frat dudes, your hero complex, got beaten-up in the process and your apparent fear of nurses. Blair fixed you up in her dorm."

"Fear of-? Oh, right yeah." maybe a better excuse would be nice, but at least Blair pitied him enough to not mention the things that shouldn't be mentioned.

"I didn't know about that." Serena laughed.

"Tonight?" she asked.

"Tonight." Nate confirmed.

Once the door closed she flopped on the bed. Yes! She and Nate will go on a date tonight and they'll realize that they still love each other and they'll kiss and they'll live a happily ever after.

It would be perfect all-over again.

Sigh.There's seems to be something wrong.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Ugh. Why was somebody disturbing her while she was figuring out her feelings for Nate.

She opened the door to none other than Dan Humphrey.

Butterflies.

Take 1. (Fail.)

He was brimming with confidence as he knocked on the door. He could do this.

The door opened and it looked like Blair wasn't exactly in her best mood.

"What?" she snarled.

Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. Run. Stay?

"I uh..." confidence has flown out the window " W-would you like... to go on a date... w-with me?"

"No."

Well at least the door missed his nose.

Take 2. (Better But...)

Ok, confidence back, dignity... in tact. Try again, no stuttering.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"What is it?" she growled.

"Blair, would you go out with me?" Yes! Nice. Smooth. And...

"No."

Face palm.

Take 3. (Maybe, Maybe.)

Props ready, flowers and chocolate.

"Blair Waldorf, I like you, would you go out with me?"

This time, she bites her lip and looks down at the floor. She could feel the butterflies too! Who cares if he sounded like Chuck Bass a while ago? If she says yes the this would be-

"No."

She slammed the door for what seemed like the third time this day.

Why was Dan so determined to go out with her? Apperently he likes her. Maybe she did too.

But there was dinner and Nate... That's all she needs, right?

The professor was on his limit. The students keep dropping their pencils, chatting with each other, making paper airplanes and ignoring him. He feels like he's teaching grade-school students!

But who could blame them? The lecture was dragging because most of them already know what the professor is talking about and it was just boooooooring.

Take 4. (The Stupidest One)

Blair saw Dan look back at her for a second and she knows he'll do something stupid.

He raised his hand.

"Sir." he tries and is being ignored "Sir... Sir." apparently the professor knows its stupid too. Two hands waving desperately "Sir, sir, sir."

"What? Mr. Humphrey." he growled and it sorta reminded Dan of Blair... who, ironically enough, is the reason he's doing this.

"May I go out... With Blair."

"Why do you keep asking me out on a date?" she exclaimed after she dragged him to her room. "Really Humphrey? In front of the whole class? You're lucky the bell rang right after that."

" And got dragged in here by you... I know, totally irrelevant... anyways, I told you already, I like you." he answered

"Why?" she exclaimed.

"Look, when we kissed I felt something." he pulled her closer "I know you felt it too."

She looked away from him.

"I didn't." she tried.

"Look me in the eye and tell me that. Tell me that you didn't feel something, anything for me."

"Humphrey... we can't- you can't-"

He pulled her for a kiss. He didn't know why he did that, it doesn't have anything to with the date anymore. He just wanted to do it again.

She knows that Humphrey shouldn't be kissing her, but then it feels so good and she finds herself kissing back.

But then there's dinner and Nate and this isn't perfect. So she pushed him away.

"Wait! I'm going out with Nate tonight."

"Oh."

No. You're not supposed to say that. You're supposed to ask me out again.

"Do you- do you love him?"

No. You're not supposed to ask that.

"I do, and I'm going to tell him that tonight."

"Oh."

No. Don't look so defeated.

"Good luck with Nate, I'm sure he loves you too."

No! You're supposed to kiss me again and I'll forget about Nate.

"Bye."

"Bye."

He ends up drowning his sorrows in a coffee shop (Because he's not Chuck Bass).

"Hey Dan."

He looks up.

"Oh hey... Nate? I thought you have this thing... with Blair."

"Oh right! I totally forgot about that."

"Nate, answer me. Why are you getting back together with Blair?"

"Because it's easier."

"Do you love her?"

He looked down at his shoes.

"Y-yes."

Okay, that was enough.

Dan tackled Nate to the floor and started punching him causing screams to erupt from costumers, but he didnt care.

"Why. Do. You. Keep. Doing. That. To. Her?"

Nate pushed him off causing Dan to stagger backwards.

"What the hell, man?" he shouted as he punched Dan, re-opening his wounds.

Dan was about to fight him off when he remembered... Blair!

He left the coffee shop filled with shocked costumers and a very confused Nate.

She would like to think that he was running late and he was on his way, he wouldn't leave her standing alone here, would he?

But then somebody wraps their arms around her from behind, she knows that he wouldn't come.

"You're not Nate." she says shakily.

"I know and I'm sorry." Dan answers.

She leans into him.

"He doesn't love me, never has, never will."

"Nate is stupid." he said firmly "How could anyone not love you."

"Do you love me?" she asks hopefully.

"Not yet." he kisses her.

"That's good enough." she says against his mouth.

Thank you for reading, please review.

And also, I already have an idea for Secrets but I can't seem to write it down.

Fun Fact: I found this cool You Tube video of Penn Badgley singing in this old TV show, he was just 14 years old. Link's on my profile (the second link, not the long one for Enchong).

Not-so-Fun Fact: About the story I promised... you know, A Simple Story well it's running late (because of certain files being deleted and certain notebooks being thrown to the trash "accidentally", note the quotation marks) so sorry.
