Chapter Six

As Nate and Serena walked off the plane with their parents, they couldn't help it but notice the beautiful hills and scenery that they were about to take in. Serena took a deep breath; Nate looked at her and held out his hand. She took it and walked towards the black limo that Nate's parents reserved for Serena and Nate. The parents had their own limo. Nate smiled as he waited for Serena to climb in. Serena couldn't help it but notice his cute smile. Why was she always thinking about him?! She had her own boyfriend back in New York and he had his own girlfriend, who was her best friend! She wouldn't… She couldn't. Serena hopped in and Nate sat next to her.

"So where do you want to go?" Nate asked. "We could go site-seeing or we could just go to the hotel, if you're tired."

"Yeah, let's go to the hotel."

-At the hotel-

As Serena and Nate walked into the Beverly Hilton, they saw the place swarming with lots of teenagers. "This is what you call Spring Break?" Nate smirked.

Serena giggled, "Let's just go get the keys to our room… rooms."

Nate nodded as he followed Serena towards the front desk. There was a lady behind the desk looking down at a black book. She sighed and looked up, "Hi, names please?" Since Serena's parents already booked rooms for them, all they had to do was just sign in.

"Serena van der Woodsen and Nate Archibald. Those are two rooms." Serena said as she leaned on the counter.

The lady looked down at her book and said, "No, actually, we have you down as just one room."

"That must be a mistake. My mot—"

Nate interrupted Serena, "No worries. We'll take it."

Serena shot a glare at Nate and whispered, "What?! We can't share a bed together."

"Who said anything about sharing a bed together? We could call the hotel and ask them to bring up a cot. I'll sleep on it." Nate smiled.

Serena blushed, "Oh, okay."

The lady behind the desk left to find the keys. After two minutes, she reappeared with two cards. She handed one to Serena. "These are for you. Room 3021," Then she gave the other card to Nate.

"Thanks," Serena and Nate said in unison. They both glanced at each other and blushed.

"You're very welcome. You two make a wonderful couple. Have a great day." The lady behind the counter moved on to the next pair that were standing beside Nate and Serena. As Serena opened her mouth to say they weren't a couple, Nate grabbed her arm and led her to the elevator.

"Are you ever going to see that lady again after we leave?" Nate asked as he pushed the button to get the elevator.

"No, why?" Serena asked as she sat on one of the sofas while she waited.

"Then you don't have to tell her that we aren't a couple. That doesn't matter."

Serena sighed, "Nate, yes it does. It does matter. We can't just let people think we are a couple because we are not. I have a boyfriend to come home to and you have a girlfriend who misses you."

"I'm sorry, Serena." Nate sat next to Serena. "I didn't think it would matter that much to you."

Serena looked into Nate's eyes and said, "It's not that. It's just that, Nate, I know we dated for some time in our sophomore high school year but—"

"Oh god, Serena, is this what you're thinking about? About how we might realize that we are meant to be and get back together?" Nate took Serena's hand into his, "Serena, I love Blair and I won't do anything to hurt her."

Serena sighed a sigh of relief. "Oh wow, thank god that's over. Look, the elevator came, let's go." Serena said as she and Nate went into the elevator. While in the elevator, Nate thought if what he said to Serena was true or not. He thought he loved Blair… Or did he still have feelings for Serena?
