Jealousy, jealousy.

Spotted. Ella Waldorf at Charles de Gaulle, homeward bound.

Looks like she is having a getaway summer in the Hamptons before school starts.

We don't want the cycle of last year, do we E?

—————-

It was the first morning of our stay, and me, B and S headed out to the gardens to catch our daily tan.

"You didn't do anything? All summer?" Blair asked Serena, since she spent her holidays attempting to get over her breakup, "don't tell me you sat around watching 'the Closer' and eating takeout from Nick and Toni's."

"No, Della Femina." She corrected Blair's mistakes.

"What about all those rumours I heard about you and Nate?" I took a sip of my drink, before I got back to applying my SPF.

"No, completely untrue. They got people off my beck about being sad, and then Nate could do whatever he wanted. It worked."
She stirred the straw around the glass, as she spoke.

"You're telling us, you didn't have any fun with anyone all summer?"
I love our girl talk, it always finds away to make us laugh, and we get to know every detail about everyone's life.

"Well, there was this hot lifeguard that asked me out,"  Serena began, as a smile overtook my face,
"But I turned him down" ugh.

"What?!- - are you crazy?! A hot lifeguard is like Kleenex. Use once, and throw away!! You couldn't ask for a  better rebound." Blair admitted.

"I don't think I'm ready. I still miss Dan sometimes...." I nodded, breakups are hard, I get it.
"More than sometimes.. all the time."

"The only thing lamer than dating Dan Humphrey, is mourning Dan Humphrey! And the only reason you're still sitting shivas is because you haven't had your summer fling."
We tried to encourage her to go have some fun, but she wasn't having it.

Charles walked onto the deck, where me and the girls were sunbathing, and glanced at me, whilst I shot him a glare.

My best choice was to stop talking about Serena's lonely summer, and instead, talk about my prince who I had met in the Hamptons; James."

"James is the classiest guy I've ever met, you know? He drinks gin martinis and he speaks six languages, and he gave me this amazing Bulgarian pearl choker, with a gold 'E' clasp on it." I swirled my straw, as Serena had a confused expression on her face.

"I thought your dad gave you that. Who's James?"
Serena asked me, as I gave the 'act like you know' look.

"Oh my god, E! He sounds amazing!!" At least Blair knew what I was hinting, "the last time we talked, you hadn't even met him!!"

I sat back on the sun lounger, as I placed my drink on the table beside me, "oh I know! He swept me off my feet, he's so charming!"
I refused to let my eyes look at Chuck, so instead, I kept the attention on us.
"Plus, he tells the best stories." I sipped my drink, until Chuck opened his mouth.

"You're lying. You're doing the thing where your eyes don't match your mouth."

"I wasn't aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software while I was away?" I asked as I sat up slightly.

"Come on,  you and I both know this guys just a prop you brought just to try and hurt me, like I hurt you." He confronted.

"You didn't hurt me actually." Everyone went silent, "well? I will admit, waiting for you in Tuscany,  the first few days were wildly humiliating. When I realised you weren't gonna show, I rallied. Luckily( I made a friend on the trip over." I smirked as I finished my sentence.

"Boring Ben? My dad's ex-employee? By the way, I had him fired just for you." he stated.

"Well, I owe him everything. He was the one who introduced me to James, so I have every right to thank him." I looked away from Charles, and looked back at Serena. My cheeks were rosy red from thinking about him. Oh my god I miss him.
"He might be the one, S!"

"Prove it." Chuck interrupted.

"I don't have to prove anything. But if you wanna get to know James, I'll bring him to dinner!"
I smiled at the thought.
"I bet you'll like him as much as I do."

"Oh, and by that, if you mean 'I won't like him at all', then you're right. I'll see you at 7." He exited, about time.

"How about we go find that lifeguard?" Blair suggested, hinting at Serena.

"Yes! And if we do, we have to stop at Nate's first. He's got something of mine that I need." I added.

This summer is going to be the best.
I know it will.

Looks like the Ex and the boyfriend will finally meet.

It may be a little awkward, but anything to make Chuck jealous.
