This has got to end~ A Gossip Girl Novel

Chapter 16: Whoever thought J would go for the D ?

The door to Dan's new apartment creaked as Jaleesha stepped inside.

"Wow this place looks older that your dad" Jaleesha said innocently.

"Hey, I'll let you know my dads only been her since the second century." Dan said half laughingly.

Jaleesha tilted her head back in laughter and Dan couldn't help but love the way her face glowed in the open light of the apartment.

They made their way over to an old leather couch that was backed against a wall.

He didn't want to admit it, but Dan had subliminally set us his new place to look almost exactly how his Dad's house had looked. It was like being able to live on your own without the heart ache or homesickness.

Jaleesha sat down and heard the cracked leather crinkle beneath her Versace dress.

Dan was standing in front of the fridge in the kitchen that was adjacent to the living room.

"Diet or Regular?" He called over his shoulder to Jaleesha.

"Diet or Regular what ?" She replied.

"Come ON!" Dan said turning around with a sly smile "Hasn't a rich city girl like you ever tasted Coke?"

Jaleesha scoffed "Oh course I know what Soda is" she straightened her back and looked Dan directly in the eye saying "I'll take Diet."

Dan met her eyes and grinned "Diet it is."

Jaleesha got up off the couch and smoothed her dress.

"Do you have any bathrooms in this gorilla cage?"

"They're not nearly as nice as the ones they give the Lions, but they're down the hall."

Jaleesha walked towards the bathroom and shut the door behind her.

Dan peeked his head out from the kitchen, making sure Jaleesha had gone inside. Quickly he set the drink on the table and dashed to his bedroom. He flung open his wardrobe door and shoved as many clothes off the floor in the wardrobe as possible, flattened his bedsheets and raced back to the kitchen.

He heard the toilet flush and the familiar rush of water coming from the sink. Jaleesha opened the bathroom door and walked over to Dan.

Her baby pink lipstick had been reapplied and Dan couldn't help but stare.

She sat beside him with their thighs touching as Dan handed her the glass with Diet Coke.

"To Jane Austin." Dan said raising his glass.

"To Jane" Jaleesha repeated.

They laughed and each took a sip of their glass.

Jaleesha set her cup down and leaned back.

Dan did the same.

"I believed I was promised Pizza."

Dan turned his head towards her. Sitting like this, with their legs side by side, their faces weren't move then a few inches apart.

"I have another promise as well." Dan said, resting his hand on Jaleesha's knee cap.

Jaleesha held her breath and placed her hand over Dan's.

She couldn't believe what she was doing.  Here she was.... Seconds away from kissing Dan Humphrey city scum. And yet it didn't feel that way. For once in her life she felt like everything made sense.

His hand slipped up her thigh and rested on her hip.

He leaned in towards her whispering
"Tell me when to stop." 

She felt his lips intertwine with her own. Her body tingled with anticipation as she cupped the back of Dan's neck in her hand.

His body moulded into hers as she pushed her down on the couch. He kissed her again and tasted the sweetness and passion of her kiss.

His hands made their way up her back and he unzipped her dress, gently pulling it off her and tossing it on the floor.

"Careful" Jaleesha moaned during kisses "That's Versace."

Dan ignored her and picked her up, hauling them both onto the bed.

He threw her on the bed, and himself on top of her. 

She fingered his pant button until they came off .

She laid back on the bed waiting for Dan to undo her bra strap, adding that to the pile of clothes lying in the floor.

"Are you ready now Humphrey?" She said

"Only if you are Waldorf."

Discretely they gave each-other a  subtle nod, he kissed her hard and grasped her hips, sliding off the one thing that was keeping them away.

Looks like the pizzas gonna have to wait Jaleesha thought to herself.
