Secret Keeper

Season 3 Episode 10

Disclaimer: I only own Layla all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

A/N: Reminder that I wrote this story 10 Years ago. I was a different writer then so if something is off or too Mary Jane I apologize. But I do hope you still enjoy.

As a famed literary liar once told Oprah, memory is subjective. Memories can be embellished or denied. But as James Frey knows all too well the truth always comes out.

Layla sat at Lily's table holding Sophie.

"What about Brad Alexander? His mother said he's single."Lily asked Jenny.

"Uh, yeah, 'cause he gave six girls from Nightingale the gonorrhea of the throat last year."

Rufus nearly spat out his coffee.

"What are you two doing?" Rufus asked then turned around at Layla and then back to Lily and Jenny.

"Oh, we're trying to find Jenny a date for the horticultural society gala." Layla said.

"Don't worry, dad. I'm over Upper East Side guys. I'm looking to expand my horizons."

Chuck walked into the room a man right behind him.

"Charles, how are you? Can I get you a cup of coffee?" Lily asked greeting him with a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, but I'm on my way to the planetarium. I was just dropping off those papers you needed."

"Thank you."

"Did Chuck Bass just say he was going to the planetarium?" Rufus asked.

"Yes please say that again, and let me record it" Layla said walking up to him. He gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm entertaining a hotel guest, the son of an ambassador. He's waiting in the foyer."

Layla looked over Chuck's shoulder as did Lily and then they both turned to Jenny, Layla turned back to the guy. She knew him from a very dark period in her life but the both of them had gotten help so everything should be good. At least she hoped.

"Well, maybe Jenny could show him around." Lily said.

"Huh" Jenny said.

"You did say you wanted to expand your horizons." Layla replied.

"Yeah I can do it. But you owe me." Jenny said walking over.

"With pleasure." Chuck said "I'll see you later then since you've practically been living at my place."

"Probably" she said then kissed his cheek "Say bye Sophie"

They watched them walk out.

"What is gonorrhea of the throat?" Rufus asked.

"I'll be by later, I promised my brother me and him would hang out a lot more than we have."

"Well that's allowed but I get Sophie" Lily said.

"Okay" Layla said handing Sophie over "Be good for them okay"

Layla headed over to the Empire and walked in the suite. Nate was on the phone by the window.

"Mom, I know how much you love grandfather. and I get it. It's not like I haven't forgiven my father a few times. But do not let him manipulate you."

"Hey, Nate. Mom?"

Nate nodded.

"He was the one behind the Hudson thing. Who else could it be?"
Layla gulped at hearing that sentence and sat down on the couch.
