Nate was in a bad mood. Yes he admittedly was. There were three elements mixed together to make the concoction of his feelings.
The first element: He was sick, no not in as a little cold sick but as in fever, throwing up sick.
The second element: Epperly was leaving for a business trip, did he mention for three weeks.
Lastly…
The Third Element; Blair Waldorf and her cryptic manner, the title said it all. Blair was being so… confusing. Too confusing; Nate could not figure out where their relationship stands. Were they friends? Were they acquaintances? No they most definitely weren't that. Were they something more? He just could not understand her, or anything involving her for that matter.
With this he decided to spend the whole day in bed, doing absolutely nothing but doing anything not to think about her.
It was hard though, because when you say not to think about something or someone you end up only thinking about said person or thing.
Great Nate was doing it.
There he was lying in bed just trying not to think about a girl he had previously been in love with.
He was getting married; this was not good.
But he didn't love Blair, no he had been down that path once and it had ended with betrayal and heartbreak.
What was it then, what were with these thoughts and feelings?
Had they been going on forever, even when dating Serena?
No, because he had chosen Serena then, it couldn't be.
Then what was it?
Nate Archibald was not in any way in love with Blair Waldorf and she most certainly felt the same way.
"I'm in love with Nate," Blair said quietly to the blond girl in front of her.
Serena stood there in shock.
Blair, cuddled in her blanket on a chair said nothing.
"Blair… but remember what happened last time? How do you know you really love him?"
Blair sighed, "I read Persuasion Serena, and then I watched Titanic, twice."
Serena slunk down on Blair's bed, "Oh my god, you are in love."
"Blair, are you sure? You could just be feeling this way because Chuck is gone and Nate is getting married."
Blair held up a hand not wanting to have Serena question her for the duration of the night, "S… I am positive, do you know that feeling you get when you are complete next to one person, like nothing could be better than being with said person?"
Serena looked distant, "Yes, I do… with Dan."
"Well, that would be the same feeling except with Nate, and I've realized that not just because he is getting married am I feeling this way, but that I have been falling for him for a while. This is real, not some fantasy. I love him, but I can't tell him."
Serena raised her eyebrow, "B… why not?"
Blair put a hand to her forehead, "because I cannot ruin his happiness, I mean if I tell him how I feel, I don't want to compromise anything with he and Epperly."
Serena smiled, "Blair, the old you would never have passed up an opportunity to sabotage someone else, especially someone who is not your favorite person. You really love him don't you?"
Blair sighed, I've seen the light, and yes I really do."
Blair Waldorf was most definitely in love with Nate Archibald, but he most certainly did not feel the same way.
