GOSSIP GIRL TV SHOW Season 3+ (Jenny & Nate)

CHAPTER #2

Nate was watching a movie with Serena, but he wasn't paying attention. He was thinking about Jenny. It was over a month since he had been intimate with her.  At the time he technically had not been Serena's boyfriend, so he never told her about Jenny.  And true to her word Jenny said nothing too. Nate was beginning to realize that maybe he didn't love Serena, that it had always been obsession. She had been the one he couldn't have for so long. Neither of them truly was in deep love with the other. There was passion, great sex, but something was missing.  Almost like it was all about Serena instead of mutual discovery. She was comfortable with Nate, but he was her rebound. He had a feeling that eventually she'd find someone new to capture her heart. Jenny he still helped with school and her business. He was almost like a consultant. They were good friends again and that's how he knew she wasn't dating anyone else.  At first she'd been a little shy around him, after their hook up. But Jenny focused on her school stuff and designing so that passed. He knew she was going to her councillor regularly, since she often shared with him what they'd talked about. Eventually even Rufus revoked the grounded status, because Jenny had proven she was more responsible now. She was back to average in grades at school. The contract that Lilly and Rufus had finally approved with Chuck, had conditional clauses that Jenny had to finish high school and take a few college courses too. Designing her clothing is what drove Jenny to rebel originally and it is now what kept her focused and down to earth.

The other day Jenny had shown Nate that she had re-created the dresses that Agnes had burned when that friendship had exploded. They weren't exactly the same, they were better. She had looked at him and he had wanted to kiss her badly, but restrained himself. There was intense chemistry between them. But neither was ready yet. But it was getting harder and harder to keep his hands off Jenny. When she had been showing him the dresses, he had caught a view of her changing, via a mirror, and his body had responded. Then she had tripped coming out of her room, he caught her and they had a moment of sexual awareness, before Nate stepped back. When Jenny touched his leg casually when talking, he was focused on where her hand rested. Nate knew if she was in the room, even if she said nothing and his back was to her. These feelings were only with Jenny and not with Serena.

Rufus allowed Jenny to go out with Serena, Blair, Chuck, Nate and Eric to a dance club. Eric went to find his boyfriend, while the girls headed for the dance floor. Chuck and Nate got a booth and ordered drinks.

"You're staring at her," Chuck said nudging Nate's arm.

"What?" Nate said distractedly.

"Serena will notice you watching Jenny."

Nate hadn't realized it until Chuck voiced it. He had been watching Jenny on the dance floor, not Serena. Chuck wasn't about to let it die easily either. "What happened between you and Jenny?"

"I'm with Serena, you know that." Nate dodged.

"That's not what I asked and you know it. Have another drink and then go dance between them," Chuck said devilishly.

It would be stepping into a fire pit, but Nate couldn't just sit there jealously. When Jenny danced up against a guy, he wanted to punch out the one she chose. He'd never relax. Two shots of whisky and he made his move. Chuck laughed behind him, enjoying the potential drama. On the dance floor Blair, Serena and Jenny joined him. Nate was in a circle of girls for a few songs, then Blair joined Chuck. Serena made it into a Nate sandwich, pressing up behind him and encouraging Jenny to dance back up on him. The song playing was perfect for their threesome dance. Nate had his hands on Jenny, when she turned and motioned she needed a drink. She left Nate dancing with Serena.

Jenny went into the ladies washroom and just stood there in front of the mirror a few minutes. She splashed some cold water on her face, dried up and fixed her make-up.
