This had been on my computer for while and I just found it. I really hope you enjoy it. I'm nearly finished.
I own nothing.
Please review.
Rufus Humphrey stood in his bedroom, fixing the collar on his forest green button up shirt. He was patiently waiting for his date to arrive. It'd been a long time since he'd went out on a date. He was slightly jittery, but he was also excited. Upon hearing four knocks on the door, he walked to the front door to invite his company in.
"Bex, hello. Please come in," he grinned at her and gestured for her to enter.
"I'd love to, Rufus."
"You look absolutely stunning."
"Why thank you. So, man of mystery, where are you taking me tonight?" She asked with a flirtatious smirk.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" He questioned teasingly, a grin playing on his face.
"Yes. I'm intrigued to see where you're taking me."
"Well, then let's head out." Rufus extended his arm and she linked her with his.
"Let's!" She smiled and they walked towards the door. As Rufus opened it, he saw none other than Lily standing there her hand raised ready to knock.
"Rufus—"She took a look at Rufus and Bex. Seeing how their arms were linked and the smiles on their faces, she stopped midsentence, "Oh. I'm interrupting something, aren't I?" She pursed her lips, frustrated. The jealousy in her was boiling over. It hurt her heart to see him with another woman, moving on. Yet, she knew she had no right to be upset. She had made her decision to get engaged to Bart. She had allowed him to walk away from her, again. She instantly bit back the tears that were building up in the corners of her eyes.
"Yes. You kind of are. What brings you here?" He was completely unnerved by her arrival. He hadn't seen her in weeks and she decides to show up here.
"It's nice to see you again, Bex," Lily said first, subconsciously dodging his question.
"Likewise, Lily," Bex replied with a confused smile plastered on her face.
Turning back to Rufus she answered his question. "I—uhm—just came to talk. Apparently, you're busy though. I should've called. I'll talk to you another time."
She walked out the door, rather hurriedly. She didn't want Rufus to know how much it hurt to see him with another woman. She just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. She didn't know why she had come over here—well, she did. It was because she missed him, but still—.
Now, Rufus had known Lily for a long time. Long enough to sense that she was upset, but he did have a date with Bex, a woman he really liked. He knew he should go after, Lily, but how many times can you keep chasing somebody that doesn't want to be caught?
"You know Lily Van der Woodsen?" Bex asked curiously. In all honesty, seeing that interaction between him and Lily made her feel like there was something going on between them.
'Yes. Her daughter is dating my song, as a matter of fact. We've become friends."
When he said their children were dating, Bex grew very relieved.
"Shall we continue with our date?" Rufus asked.
"Let's!" Bex exclaimed with a smile.
