Nate walked passed Eric and ruffled his hair; Eric laughed and then quickly fixed it. Lily turned to Blair. "Where is my daughter?" Lily breathed. Blair laughed and looked over at the chair. Lily followed her gaze and stood next to the chair. "A little too much turkey?" she asked. Blair smiled again and nodded.
The next day, Serena and Nate said they would hang out. This was the day Nate was going to ask Serena out. This was the day she was going to say yes; he hoped. He walked to the café they agreed to go to, they had always gone to this café when they had something serious to talk about. Nate sat down and then looked around, good; no one they knew were here, Nate didn't want anyone interrupting them. Serena then came with a huge smile on her face. "Natie!" she screamed. He put his coffee down and stood up. Serena ran to him and jumped in his arms. He hugged her back and then dropped her. She had strands of hair in her mouth when he dropped her. She smiled until she found out she had her hair in her mouth; she dragged her finger down her cheek until she felt the strands of her hair coming out of her mouth. She sat down across from Nate. "I'm so sorry for Thanksgiving. I was really drunk," Serena said calmly. Then she smiled. "You should have seen me this morning, can you say hung over?" Serena joked. Nate smiled and nodded; he secretly wasn't into this conversation, he just wanted to ask Serena. "I'm sorry; you probably wanted to talk about something important, eh?" She took a sip from Nate's coffee and then shook her head. "Okay, go!"
Nate inhaled. "Well I have been thinking, a lot. Thinking about me, thinking about you, thinking about you and me." Serena's phone beeped. 'S, its rlly imprtnt meet me our bar? –G.' "Who's that?" he asked, annoyed.
Serena shook her head and closed her phone. "Nate, I'm so sorry, Georgina needs me. I'll see you later tonight for our slumber party?" She got up and kissed Nate on the cheek. He nodded and waved goodbye. Once she had left, Nate looked down; he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Serena had ditched him for somebody else.
Serena met with Georgina at Killer Whales, their favorite bar to go to. "Hey G, what's the matter?" Serena asked once she found Georgina sitting alone at the bar.
Georgina put her martini down. "Nothing is the matter S, I just wanted to hang out with you," Georgina said in a manipulating tone.
Serena smiled weirdly. Georgina picked her martini again and took a huge gulp out of it. "Georgina, put the martini down, it's 4:00 o'clock," Serena said trying to take the martini out of Georgina's hands. "G, what's going on?" she asked worriedly.
"Nothing S," she said in the same tone. Serena raised her eyebrows and stayed next to Georgina for the rest of the day, not drinking a thing.
Chuck smirked. "Yes, that'll be fine," he said to an attractive dirty blonde woman sitting next to him. He took a sip from his scotch.
"Are you sure? Because we could always throw in—"
Chuck harshly put his scotch back on the table. "I said that'll be fine." The elevator doors opened, but Chuck couldn't hear it, the girl couldn't either. The girl nodded kindly. Chuck then remembered something. "Oh, here's the money," he said as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out thirty Euros.
Blair dropped her bags. Chuck and the women turned around to see Blair. She used her famous line, "What the hell is going on here?!" The woman stood up and revealed what she was wearing to Blair; a black, tank top dress that goes down to the middle of her thighs.
She started walking to the door. "I guess I'll call you later about that order Charles," she said on her way to the elevator. She stopped and looked back at Chuck; he had his scotch raised in the air to cheers to that. She then looked at Blair. "Bye, lady who I do not know the name of."
'Spotted: An attractive woman leaving C's suite. Oh, poor B, didn't last a month.'
"It's Blair! Blair Waldorf! His girlfriend!" she screamed. The elevator doors closed and Chuck got up to greet Blair. He walked over and tried to kiss her, but she pushed him away. "Get away from me! You jerk! I hate you!" she screamed as she ran to the elevator and harshly pressed the button four times.
Chuck grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him. "Blair, she wasn't a girl I was going to sleep with," he told her. She raised her eyebrows. "If you insist to know, I was ordering something for you. From Paris. Do you honestly think I'd pay a hooker with Euros?" Blair smiled and jumped in his arms. "Okay, but we have to be at Nate's in an hour."
Serena ran into Nate's apartment, just to see him sitting alone watching television. She slowly tiptoed near the couch and jumped on it. He jumped up and laughed once he saw who it was. "So, what are we watching?" Serena asked. He switched off the television. She sat down more comfortably and said, "Okay, I guess nothing now."
He turned towards her. He inhaled once more. "Serena, I really need to talk to you. About the thing I was going to talk to you about at the coffee house."
"Shoot."
"Alright, I have learned to control myself, but since you've been in—that—accident, I can't anymore. Serena, I want to be there for you—" Serena opened her mouth to say something but Nate started up again. "As more than a friend," he finally finished. Serena smiled but didn't say anything. Nate took that as a no. "Oh, okay, let's just pretend that didn't happen," he awkwardly said. Serena smiled and shook her head. Nate turned back to the television and turned it back on.
Serena leaned closer into him and turned his head to face her. "It's a yes," she simply said. Nate smiled and took her head in his hand and pulled it closer to him. With the remote in his other hand, Nate switched the television off. He pushed her so now her back was on the couch. "Nate," she breathed. He kept kissing her. "Nate, I'm not ready."
Nate stopped kissing her and got off of her. "Yeah, I get it. Sorry," he said.
She smiled. "Let's go for a walk," she said. Nate nodded and got off the couch. He put out his hand for her to grab, she did and never let go of it. They went for the walk, holding hands and sometimes, Nate would push Serena onto a wall and kiss her. I wonder what's going to happen next.
'Spotted: N and S, together? Finally? The answer to that, yes. Thank you for the picture Kellerz66! Correction: B and C are still together, attractive woman was a lady that C asked to get flowers for B. CUTE!
XOXO Gossip Girl.
In Chuck's limo, Blair closed her phone. They got to Nate's house, in minutes time. Chuck shut the door after Blair. "You know they are going to be all like, hand holding, and kissy," Blair said.
"Is that going to be a problem for you?" he asked as they started walking to the door.
Blair fake smiled and shook her head. "I just wish we could do that," she muttered. Chuck looked over at her while she was looking at the ground. He had heard what she said, he doesn't even know why she said it, they both knew their relationship was going to be different than all the others. They burst into Nate's house to end the awkwardness. All they saw was Serena on top of Nate on his bed. "Serena!" she screamed.
Serena jumped up. "Oh, Blair, Chuck. Didn't know you were coming…" She checked her phone. "Right, on time," she awkwardly said. She got off the bed and straightened her hair. "So, what do you guys want to do?" she asked.
Blair ran to Serena. "We need to talk about the Sheppard's wedding!" she shouted.
Chuck and Nate looked at each other oddly. When Blair looked over to Chuck with a huge smile on her face, he fake smiled back at her. Serena unwillingly left the room with Blair so they could talk about cotillion alone. Chuck and Nate sat down on the couch. Once the girls were far away from the living room Chuck moved his head closer to Nate's. "We have to go to the wedding with them?" he asked in a whisper.
"I think it's necessary," Nate whispered back. Chuck shook his head in disappointment. They watched the television until Blair and Serena came back into the room. "So, what about the Sheppard's wedding did you talk about?" Nate asked them.
Blair sat next to Chuck on the couch, and hugged him tight. "Well, since they are getting married in Jamaica, we decided to go there earlier. I mean, my mom came up with the idea; she already talked to Lily, and she said she'd talk to Anne and Bart. I mean, would you guys like to go a bit earlier?" Blair asked.
Nate looked at Serena who was looking at her phone. "Yeah, that'd be cool," Chuck said. "What about you Nathaniel?"
He looked back at Chuck. "Yeah, that's fine," he muttered. Nate got up and went to his bed to see Serena. "What's wrong?" he asked her.
"Georgina wants me to hang out with her today."
Nate smiled. "Then go hang out with her," he simply said.
She looked at him and made a small smile. "It's just, last time we hung out together, she was acting all weird. She wasn't herself. It freaked me out."
"How about you just go to her hotel to see what she wants. Then I'll pick you up and we can go for dinner." Serena smiled and nodded. "Guys, I'm going to drive Serena somewhere and I'll come back and then I'll pick her up and we'll all go for dinner. Sounds good?" he said a little louder. Chuck and Blair nodded and got a little more comfortable on the couch. "Okay, you guys can just stay here…" Nate said awkwardly. He led Serena to Chuck's limo and sat next to her, holding her hand the whole way to Georgina's hotel room. Serena squeezed Nate's hand harder every block they passed. Once they got there, Nate kissed her cheek and let her out. "I'll see you later tonight." Serena got quickly walked into the hotel.
"Are you sure she'll go for this?" a man asked.
Georgina looked out her door. "Of course, it's Serena!" she said in a high pitched tone.
Serena walked in Georgina's room looking worried. "Hey G. How are you?" Serena asked as she sat down on the bed next to the man. "Hey Brad," she said to him.
Georgina sat down across from Serena. "I'm fine S! How are you?!" Georgina asked drunkenly as she handed Serena a glass of champagne. Serena declined it. "C'mon, it's been months! You can trust me," Georgina said, a little bit lower. Serena nodded and grabbed the glass out of Georgina's hand. She chugged it all. "Woah, I guess someone missed us."
