Chuck awoke next to a Jenny Humphrey, who the night before he did nothing with. And he loved her. She was just so peaceful and perfect. Yesterday was by far the best day he'd ever had, nothing could ruin their happiness. But then his phone rang.
Quickly he answered so Jenny wouldn't wake up, "Hello?!" Chuck was slightly caught off guard. Who would be calling him? And at this hour, really.
"Hello Charles, how's your vacation?" It was Lily Van Der Woodsen. In other words Chuck's not legal mother. Who he might have forgotten to call, "Don't worry I'm not upset."
A sigh of relief went through the telephone line. Eric must of called Lily and let her know what was up. Eric was a great brother, even if Chuck wasn't always one back. Still he saved his ass from Lily so Chuck really owed Eric now!
"I'm not mad at you for in Maui with out my permission," Lily took a dramatic pause. What could be say big to call Chuck about now, "What I'm curious about is why you're groping my soon to daughter in law, you're step sister."
She knew. How did she possibly know?! Eric wouldn't squeal if he saw, he just wouldn't. Were there like spies watching them? Was there a picture of them on Gossip Girl? If they were though, who took it, why did they take it, and why was Lily on Gossip Girl?!
Jenny woke up, and smiled at Chuck who was leaning up. He was even better now then he was yesterday, "Hey, last night was the best night I ever had," She said rapping her arms around his neck, not noticing the cellphone, "If only every night could be like that!"
Of course Jenny said it just loud enough for Lily to hear. That's all Lily needed to hear. She was not going to give them time to explain they didn't do anything and were in love. What she heard sounded a little to much like, "I just had the best sex ever last night!" And um, she wasn't going to let that slid!
Chuck froze, he knew Lily heard what Jenny had just said. He knew what she was thinking. More importantly, he knew she was wrong! There was no time to explain or finish this conversation. With that Chuck flipped his phone closed.
"Oh... Who was that?" Jenny said still smiling, noticing he was on the phone. She kissed his check. Not once had she actually done the waking up together thing, but kissing him felt right. So why the heck not?
He turned around and kissed Jenny, talking to Lily about Jenny and him made him want her. Chuck kissed her again, and again, until he was right on top of her. Every one thought they did it, so why not do it? What was holding Jenny back still? He was still here wasn't he?
Jenny kissed back, she had no idea Chuck was trying to go there again. But at the moment he tried to take off one her bra straps, she knew he wasn't just showing he loved her, "Who was on the phone?" Who ever it was, made Chuck want to do this.
Chuck pulled back and stared her in the eyes. How did she know? Was it that obvious, or did she just understand him that much, "It was uhh..." This was going to sound really weird coming out, "It was Lily."
"Lily?! What?!" Jenny jumped out of the bed, "Lily made you want to try and score with me again? What the hell?!" She was excepting it was like Blair, and he wanted to prove something or what ever. But this was Lily! Chuck's mom, her soon to be step mom! That made Chuck want to have sex? That just wasn't right.
He got up and went over to the mirror. Chuck just stared into the it, who was he now? He didn't want to be different from last night. Yet something inside him said he was different. But he wanted to be the Jenny's Chuck, not the Chuck's Chuck...
"They know..." Chuck said turning around to face Jenny, "Lily knows about us, and I'm assuming the whole Upper East Side does too!" He opened his phone to check Gossip Girl.
This caught Jenny off guard, "What? How!" She ran over to Chuck and his phone, and well enough they were on the very first page. Who would do this? Oh yeah, Nate!
Silence filled their room. But could they really be that shocked? Every one was going to find out sooner or latter. When they thought about it though, they never thought about it. Last night, no matter how long and fever it seemed to be, went by so quick. It had only been hours since they kissed. No time to actually think about what would happen afterwards. Why couldn't they just stay in their hotel room forever?
Jenny went back and sat on the bed, freaked out. She had just made peace with Blair. She had just gained some what respect from the mean girls. It had been weeks since she pissed off Dan and Rufus, and all her hard work. Gone because Gossip Girl had to be a bitch... again!
Was Chuck suppose to comfort her? How could he comfort her though, when he was just as shaken up. No one was suppose to find out this way! Now he was going to be known for being an even bigger two-timer. Gossip Girl couldn't let him have his happiness, she had to screw him over again.
They both looked at each other, letting their eyes do the talking. Were they crazy for thinking they could "get away" with this? He was thee Chuck Bass, and she was thee Jenny Humphrey. The Upper East Black Night, and the Brooklyn Blown Girl. It wasn't what the world planned for. If she belonged with any one from the Upper East, it was thee Nate Archibald. The Upper East King. That was the only kind of forbidden love that was allowed.
Chuck went and started taking everything out of the dresser, "I'm going to go home. I need to some damage control," He stopped and starred at Jenny, "I need to set the record straight about all this." Once again he started packing.
"And what exactly are you setting straight Chuck? What are you going to tell them?" Jenny got up and put her hand on his shoulder, "Are you going to tell them it was a one night fling? That you really love me? Or what?! Because I honestly I don't know what you have planned." If Chuck was planning on saying nothing really happened and excepting her to date him secretly, he was very wrong!
This was a question Chuck really didn't know how to answer, simply because he didn't know himself. First he'd have to calm Blair down. Then explain everything to Lily about what happened, and didn't happen. Make Rufus and Dan not want to kill him. Maybe then try to make Serena understand. What ever he had to do though, he had to do sooner then latter. Or else Jenny and his reputation could be ruined forever.
He turned to her and smiled, "I'm going to tell them the truth," Chuck said walking over to her confused face.
"Well... What is the truth?" Jenny said holding one arm with her hand. She didn't really want the answer he was probably going to say. She wanted the answer where he confessed his love to her and he didn't give a f*ck about what other thought. That she only mattered, but he wasn't going to say that.
Chuck came close, only inches away like yesterday in the lobby, "That you're the only thing that matters. That they can be as angry as they want, but it wont change a thing." He gently kissed her forehead, "The truth Jenny. I love you." It was kind of weird just saying it. Never before could he just say it, now it was like something he did automatically.
She hesitated for a moment before jumping up in excitement, "I'm coming with you!" Jenny said smiling. So what if she just got here? There was no other place, no other person, she'd rather be with then Chuck. Even if that meant facing everyone back home.
No one spoke, Jenny's face only grew sadder and Chuck's only grew more concerned, "Honestly? I think this is something I really should do this by myself. They might not believe me that much, but I can convince then," He stopped unpacking and looked at here, "Plus Eric and Jonathan would hate it if you left. And even Nate needs company!" He laughed, trying not to show he felt threaten by Nate and his friendship with Jenny.
That name, Nate, made Jenny's whole body freeze. Nate sent in the picture, it must've been him. He didn't even need that gossip on her! Oh my God... that secret. Should she tell Chuck now? What was the point though, Nate already got revenge so he didn't need to use it any more. There was no point in letting Chuck know, at least that's what Jenny was telling herself.
Chuck finished packing. He didn't want to leave Jenny, that was the last thing he wanted to do. She couldn't come though. Everyone was probably exploding and he just really didn't want her to be around that. So Chuck just figured he'd calm everyone down then give her the sign it was okay to come back. That is, if it'd ever be okay.
Jenny started packing her things. She didn't care what Chuck said. Well she cared about everything he had to say, but about this she wasn't going to discuss it. There was no way she was going to let him face them all alone. That'd just be cold! Besides how is it showing any one they're really in love if they're not even together?!
Slowly he looked over at Jenny who was busily packing up. No point in arguing, she made up her mind. That was fine with him. He wanted her to come, he just didn't want her to get hurt. So many disapproving eyes would be on them when they got back. Was Jenny ready to handle it?
They rode in the back of the limo in silence. Neither could see if the other was actually happy. Chuck thought Jenny was mad at him for wanting to leave Maui already. Where Jenny thought Chuck was mad at her for coming. Love was defiantly a very complex thing, that they could both understand.
Even on the plane they barely spoke. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but no words came to mind. There was always the idea of talking about their "game plan", that seemed useless though. Was there anything to be said. Maybe that was the problem with falling in love so fast, it goes away even faster then it happened.
Chuck, didn't want it to end though, he went over and sat by Jenny, "Hey..." He smiled at her. He rarely smiled, usually it was just a smirk or grin. But he wanted Jenny to know he was really happy just to be around her.
"Hey... So umm..." Jenny tried to think of something to say, "What did Lily say? Was she really mad? Wanting to kill you and me?" She smiled and laughed some. It wasn't that funny, but if she didn't laugh she'd have to cry about it. And crying wasn't an option.
"I think it was more of her wanting to kill me, then killing you. Then you started talking about last night... Right into the speaker basically..." Chuck didn't want to bluntly say you gave her the way wrong impression for what happened last night.
Jenny's whole face froze in shock, "Oh, my God!" She said practically jumping out of her seat, "Lily thinks we've had sex! All because I had to ramble on about how it was the best night of my life, and I wished every night was like it. Crap! What if she's talked to my dad! What will my dad think?!" This was a huge shock wave to Jenny. She never thought of any of this before. And now that she was, it scared the heck out of her.
With saying that, Chuck's ego went way down. Was it really that bad if they did have sex? Would Jenny really be that embarrassed? It really was apparently. His reputation never made him feel bad about anything before, but now... Now it was making the girl he loved freak out.
No one spoke once again. They knew the others reason this time though. Jenny knew Chuck was bummed about her reaction. And Chuck knew Jenny was scared about his conversation with Lily. For two people in love, they seemed to only supply hurt to the other.
The plane landed, still no one talked. They got in the limo, no words came out. Then, words weren't even possible to speak as they pulled up to their house. Almost all the disapproving faces would be up there. The only ones not to would be Blair and Nate, because with their luck Vanessa would be over.
Chuck opened the door and got out. Like a gentleman he lent his hand to Jenny, who was very hesitate to getting out, "Calm down... Just remember this," He took her hand, "You are nothing short of my everything Jenny Humphrey. Which means I wont let anything happen to you." He'd said nothing to her for hours, so the first things he did had to be positive. More importantly, from his heart.
Awww! He actually cared, like cared cared. From the silence Jenny had gotten the feeling he wasn't feeling the same way any more. Sure her mind had been going back and forth from, "He loves me!" to, "He loves me not...", could you blame her though? Chuck Bass was harder to read then the feelings of air, impossible.
Slowly they made their way to building, then the elevator. As the elevator dinged, their hearts collapsed in pure fear. It was their families and they should understand. But Chuck and Jenny would be fouls to believe any one would understand. They themselves didn't understand most of it. So why get their hopes up?
Serena's head turned around as fast the speed of light it seemed, "Jenny!" She yelled as she ran over, "Oh I missed you so much!" All the sudden Serena gave Jenny a huge hug. Why wasn't she pissed off?
"Uh, hi Serena," Jenny said smiling of relief, "You haven't seen Gossip Girl... have you?" She hugged Serena back really quickly, thinking she'd never get another chance it awhile.
Then, Serena laughed. Why was she laughing? Did she think this was some prank? Or could she not accept the fact Chuck was over Blair? This just made Jenny confused.
"Why do think I'm not in Spain any more? I came back the second it was posted!" Serena said it like it was obvious. Serena said it like it was no big deal. Serena said it like she was happy.
Chuck was in shock. Just shock, nothing else. He couldn't even be happy right now if he wanted to. Serena was basically jumping up and down! Was she high? God did she go through his room?! Why this, what that, how come there were so many questions and zero answers?
Jenny was dragged into the living room by Serena, "Sooo... Chuck and I are dating," She didn't want to say love yet. Love was for when the parents come barging through telling them what idiots they were. Yet Serena didn't even flinch by dating.
"I'm just hoping Chuck doesn't screw up in less then five minute," Serena said rolling her eyes, "Can you believe the second Blair got off the phone with you she caught Chuck making out with another girl? Good luck right?" She said it like Chuck wasn't even in the room, she didn't want him here anyways.
Words were soaring through Jenny's head in a crazy downwards spiral. She heard right, right? Nothing made sense. Nothing! Serena was just joking, of course she was just joking! There was no way Blair was heading to France, and Chuck just decided to come with them to Maui out of boredom. None of that was true... It couldn't be true.
A tear slipped and, rolled down Jenny's cheek. It was true. Serena wasn't happy to see them together, she was happy to be telling her how big of an idiot she was. That's why Chuck came, to avoid Blair. No wonder Blair didn't pick, she was probably crying her heart out. Everything that had been said yesterday, today. Had all just been turned into lies. Chuck Bass is a dirty, filthy, ass hole liar!
When Jenny and Chuck were first spotted together at the Kiss On The Lips Party, Gossip Girl said, "Looks like Little J might end up with a new boy, and a ticket to the inner circle. Or will C end up with another victim? I told you I love parties." Will Gossip Girl was sure as hell right! He got another victim.
