In College The Gossip's Always Better (CH.2:You Drink, You Say Things, and I Let Them Out!)
Hey upper east site and congratulations on making it though one more week of classes! Now that your free what are you doing for the weekend? Don't answer that I only care about what one group of people are doing, and since I already know why not tell you? Well the cat is out Blair Waldorf is having a small party at her mother Eleanor and step father Cyrus's home due to both parents being gone for the weekend.. And whose invited? Well only her friends who belong to her inner circle, with the exception of Jenny Humphrey and Eric Van der Woodsen, and whose be helping B with this two night bash? Just one person, can you guess? No need to of course Dan Humphrey has been Blair's partner in crime this week and it seems that all that were invited have shown up. With the party starting and the drinks flowing I have a question for you. How many drinks does it take one Waldorf and one Humphrey to confess to each other what we've known all along? Guess we will just have to wait and see, yes everything seems perfect tonight. But look out B, seems that you may have an uninvited guest crashing later on who is it? Starts with a C.
You Know You Love Me
XOXO
Gossip Girl
"I can't believe the two of you managed to pull this off in only three days!" Serena exclaimed as she sat looked around the large living room which held most of their friends except Carter who was walked over to Nelly and handed her Cosmo to her and began talking with Nate.
"S it's just a bar of liquor, really the rest I already had here." Blair said while giving Serena a amused smile.
"No I mean convincing Eleanor to go to Paris a week early, that is what I can't believe!" Serena replied with a smile, which Blair mirrored while looping her arm in Dan's and bringing him closer to her causing Serena's smile to grow even bigger.
"Well it was really Dan who convinced her that they should go a week early so that they could really take in the city, and have a chance to really enjoy it with each other before my mother became consumed by work." She finished and then turned to look at Dan who only gave them a shrug back.
"It was nothing." His response was casual but Serena knew that he was fighting extra hard not to lean down and kiss Blair as was her best friend. The moment between them was lost though when Nelly called Blair over and she reluctantly left Dan to join Nelly on the couch not knowing that Dan's eyes never left her until Serena's voice came crashing through the thoughts of Blair that were currently flowing through him.
"You know you love her right?" She questioned before downing her second rum and diet coke, causing him to snap his head in her direction, shocked eyes meeting amused ones.
"What?" His question came out in a low, rushed whisper as he looked around hoping no one had heard Serena's question which to his relief they hadn't.
"Come with me." She requested before heading to the kitchen with Dan on her heels, when finally making it into the kitchen Serena grabbed the Captain Morgan's off the cabinet, and poured a large amount into two shot glasses before turning back to Dan and handing him one.
"Don't drink it yet!" She told him
"I won't, not until you tell me what made you ask what you just did." He said with curiosity as he stared into Serena's eyes. Realizing what she was truly doing, she was confronting her ex about his obvious feelings for her best friend, feelings that said best friend shared yet neither dare tell the other afraid they would ruin the friendship they both cherished so much and end with them not speaking to each other.
Though she had once loved him, it was always them forcing it work instead of it just working. And though she didn't find that with him, she had found it with Carter and it was truly amazing. The thing she knew everyone searched their whole lives for, and as she found it with Carter she knew he had found it with Blair. And to deny that, she knew neither would ever be happy and that's what both deserved, and she was going to make sure they got it.
"Dan come on, I see the way you look at her." When she saw he was about to interrupt with a denial she held her hand up to his lips.
"You can't lie to me, and you shouldn't lie to yourself especially about this. I know you love her, and believe me when I say she loves you too. Think about it, the two of you spend more time together than with us, you talk about each other constantly when your apart, your eyes light up with the other walks into a room, you feel safe with each other, Dan you love each other, admit it, stop fighting it and let it out." Her words sailed through him and as each observation she said came through he realized they were true, and he realized that she was right. He couldn't fight it anymore, he had to tell Blair this weekend how he truly felt. Feelings he swore he thought he felt for the blonde in front of him were actually found and felt in the brunette who used to tease him ruthlessly and realizing this he allowed himself to laugh. Once calming himself he looked to Serena who looked at him with a questioning smile.
"I love Blair Waldorf." The words came out with a huge smile from both parties and a quick hug.
"I knew you do, they know you do." She said motioning to the entry living room were laughter could be heard. "The only one left is her, tell her." Serena's plead was met with a warm smile.
"I will. Now are we going to drink these? This is the start to the courage I am going to need to tell her, how about it?" He asked raising his glass half-way.
"To drunken confessions, the best kind!" Serena said while clinking her glass to his and both quickly took the shot. Sitting the glasses back down a voice behind them caused Serena to shriek.
"Drinks in private eh? Well set me one up before we get back in there!" Blair requested as she got between Dan and Serena, holding out a shot glass which Dan quickly filled and then filled his and Serena's the trio brought their glasses up.
"To this weekend, let's make it a memorable one!" Blair announced while clinking her glass to Dan and Serena and taking the liquid down without catching the smile between the other two as they took theirs as well.
"Alright now let's get back in there!" Blair said while linking arms with Dan and leading him back to the party with Serena close behind.
Five hours passed and the party was still going strong with each member fairly buzzed yet still active. Some had moved to the room down the hall with the pool table Cyrus had moved in, some were just talking, and the rest were sitting around taking turns playing guitar hero. Nate and Dan were up right now with Georgina calling winner. Across the room Nelly had stumbled over to where Scott was talking to Eric on one of the couches.
"So your mom and Rufus's wedding is getting pretty close huh?" Scott slurred out while bring Nelly into his lap and waiting for Eric's response who had a passed out Jenny's head cradled in his lap.
"Two months now, I can't believe it's so close." He responded
"Yeah that's crazy, so you and Serena will get Dan and Jenny as step-siblings right?" Scott's question caught Nelly's attention, though they had only been together a short time, it seemed that whenever Scott could he would leave her to talk to Dan, Serena, Jenny or Eric. She had wondered what his fascination with them was yet she had never questioned him on it afraid it would push him away, and though this relationship was new it was different than the one's she had before. It was exciting, and it wasn't as though he was ignoring her, he was very loving and very thoughtful. He made her feel beautiful, and that was something no one had ever done. These were the reasons she ignored her urge to ask what was special about the Humphrey – Van der Woodsen children, though she was finding it harder to do.
Another hour passed and the only people left awake were Blair, Dan, Vanessa, Nate, Serena, Carter and Georgina watching Knocked Up and though she loved the movie Blair grabbed Dan's hand and got up.
"I'm dead tired, I'm out you guys enjoy the rest of the night! I'm going to my room, Dan can you help me get there? I'm kind of drunk." She pleaded causing him to smile and stand up and lead her to her room but not before catching Serena's eye and winking. Once they were inside Blair made it to her bed jumping in and then turning to face him with a smile on her face.
"Come on, join me!" The request was all he needed, this was it. Walking to her, her smile faded when she saw the look on his face. She knew that face, a bomb was about to be dropped in their happy world, she only pray it would leave enough behind to leave their friendship. She waited for him to speak but what she got took her by surprise, lips crashed down on hers, lips owned by Dan Humphrey. The lips didn't just move against hers they sent a message, a message she had wanted to get for a long time though positive would never come but they had come bringing her heart to sore and return the message. They continued till air became vital but as their lips parted their heads came together and eyes found what they wanted to find.
"I love you." Dan whispered out
"I love you too." She responded with tears in her eyes
"I want to be with you." He said
"I want to be with you too." She replied bringing him close to her with a hug.
And as their words met with their ears they had gotten what they had wanted for so long, each other.
Downstairs Serena, Georgina and Vanessa let out shouts of joy but as they did the sound of the elevator doors opening caused them to stare at the late night visitor, and as they watch him walk out with his smug smile, their anger grew, and as they stared at each other they made a vow that he would not ruin what their friends had finally found. Walking up towards them his smile grew even more sinister than before.
"What are you doing here Chuck?" Serena demanded.
"I'm here for the party, well at least tomorrow's anyway and I promise if you thought tonight was fun, tomorrow will be a blast!" He responded.
