I had a new job. Well sort of a new job, Rufas asked me to work in the Gallery Cafe along with Vanessa. I of course accepted.
"Hey, Vanessa." i beamed as she closed her phone
"Rose! How was Singapore?" we hugged each other then pulled away.
"Great, how was seeing up this place and your parents?" I asked stepping away from her
"So-so. Rufus told me he offered you a job."
"You don't mind us working together do you. It's just since the restaurant went bust during my time away...." I trailed off thinking bout the brief email I had gotten from the manager.
"Not it's great. It's great. At least there should be no awkward getting to know each other parts." we laughed
"Yeah."
" Actually there is something I wanted to ask you." Vanessa started and her demeanour changed like she was nervous about the topic
"Okay." we sat down in the empty cafe.
"Well, Nate and I have been talking and I think there is something there but I know that he was with you so..." Awh shit.
"V, Nate and I were a brief fling. But his life is pretty messed up right now and I don't want you to get hurt." I vaguely tried to steer her away from the messed up Nate.
"I get it."
"Trust me, you don't. You're a great independent woman who can do whatever she wants but might I suggest just not him right now." I enforced
"You can suggest it." she replied
"I know I sound incredibly bitchy and I wish I could tell you everything but I just...I just can't right now. But just be careful with him okay?"
"Okay." i nodded
"I'm gonna put my things away." I stood up and went to do just that and then I help set up. My phone buzzed
Spotted: S and Lonley Boy, locking lips like all is forgiven. Will round two be any different?
"Well that didn't last long" i comment
"What?" Vanessa questioned. I showed her my phone, and she raised an eyebrow.
"I don't get him? I don't, he end things with her because of all the secrets and lies. He spends the whole summer being a well let's face it a mini Chuck, with the women. He then decided that because he's in a funk He should see her, he does then it get's even more complicated. She wants to think things through he's like Meh. Then things get even more complicated and now..." I rant
"So things are back on between them?"
"Who even knows anymore. I gave my advice, like he asked for. The rest is up to him. And boys say we're confusing." She chuckles.

I was chilled out in Blairs dining room, sat on one chair with my feet draped over another. It was a back to school soiree for kids and parents. Blair, Serena and I were organising.
"So the flowers won't be here till five. Did you get the order from the caterers?" she asked Serena, who handed her the order forms.
"Eleanor comes home today. You excited she gets to meet Marcus?" Serena wondered
"And see why he's so wonderful? It's not often you find a man who's intelligent sophisticated, has an appreciation for Golden Age Hollywood and is a gentleman to boot." she brags
"Not to mention his a British Lord who's filthy rich and is personality wise, the opposite of my brother." I drawled
"That has some attributes to it. You know he hasn't pressured me about sex, once. Not once." I snorted
"Wow sounds like you really like him" Serena sarcastically replies
"Yes, I do.". Serena sat up
"Do you see what I did there. I expressed an opinion in your relationship." We said nothing.
"Look, I know you both know about me and Dan. Even Dorota told me she was happy for me." she decided to bring it up.
"Uh-oh here we go." I comment bitting into a strawberry. Serena glares at me then turns her attention back to Blair.
"I'm happy for you." Blair adds with a less than enthusiastic tone.
"B, I know you don't approve of him."
"True."
"And I know that he's not the 22nd lord of Westmorelandshire." shire as in sheer not shire as in ire. But whatever.
"Also true."
"Why can't you support me." Blair glanced at me and I shrugged. We made a deal, that concerning Serena and Dan I would take Dan, she would take Serena.
"Have you two talked about everything. All the very real reasons you broke up last year?" Serena opened and closed her mouth.
"Well, not completely."
"Well, when you do, if you're still together, I'll be happy for you. Till then I think you're just fooling yourselves." Blair's phone started to ring. I put my headphones in and switched music on as Blair took the call and Serena left.
