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

CHAPTER #24

Sleeping in had been the plan, but her dad's waffles, seeped under the door and tickled her nose. No one could resist the smell of a breakfast he created, so Jenny got up and had a shower. By the time she was dressed, Dan and Rufus were already filling their plates. This was home, this was like deja vu, but the good kind. Jenny smiled and hugged them both, then got her own plate.

"This is awesome dad, thanks.  It's nice sometimes just having it be the three of us again." Jenny hoped they didn't take offence.

Rufus understood what she was trying to convey, "I know what you mean. Our life here, seems so long ago. So much has changed."

Dan agreed and said, "we are all so happy to have you back and moving forward with positive goals."

Rufus then said, "Lilly is planning a little congratulations-welcome back dinner party tonight at her place. So Jenny you have to be there and I expect you to be there too Dan."

"Sure dad, but I really don't have any friends here, so it's not going to be a very big party. " Jenny sighed with resignation.

"Yes you do Jenny, just wait and see," Dan said.

After breakfast they went to the penthouse. Dan, Charlie, Eric and Jenny went to go see Fast Five in the theatre. Both Charlie and Jenny found they both liked Vin Diesel, so they talked about that actor until the movie started. Dan and Eric, rolled their eyes at each other, at first, until they saw the other guys and girls in the movie too. Turned out all four of them loved the movie and couldn't stop talking about the action scenes on the way home. When they walked through the doors, a bunch of people started clapping.

"Congratulations Jenny!" Everyone shouted.

Jenny blushed in embarrassment. "Thank you everyone!"

Elanor Waldorf walked up and presented her with a beautiful evening dress. "You deserve this my dear.  And no it is not one of mine, we designers have to stick together and show support for each other."

Charlie told Jenny to change in her room and to pick out any shoes she wanted. Charlie secretly told her later, that she loved shoe shopping, just never usually could afford it, like she could now.

When Jenny emerged, Charlie said simply, "wow."

"Thanks, it's not really my style, but I must admit, Elanor has fantastic taste." Jenny said. "If she doesn't want it back, you can have it Charlie. It would look really good on you too!"

"Seriously?" Charlie asked in awe.

"Sure, let me just make sure it is okay with Elanor," Jenny said. "Charlie, I love these shoes!"

"I got them at Mephisto, yesterday with Serena."

"Charlie are you sure you are okay with me wearing them first?"

"Yes, you can break them in for me. When you are back, we should go shoe shopping," Charlie suggested to Jenny.

They walked out together into the party, talking about shoes and fashion. Charlie loved fashion, but said she never can make up her mind what to wear. Even though they were in deep conversation, Jenny could feel that Nate was at the party. She didn't see him, but some how just knew it. The hair on the back of her neck and arms prickle with a shiver. Jenny ignored the feeling. Charlie saw Serena and Jenny told her it was ok to go talk to her. She went to the table to get some food. As she found a place to sit down and have a snack, she saw Nate. He had his arm around Raina's waist and was talking into her ear. Raina giggled when he kissed and nuzzled her neck. Try as she did, Jenny couldn't help but feel like her heart had been ripped open again. She choked on what she was eating, loosing appetite immediately. Jenny stood up and quickly put her back to them. She took her plate and threw it out. She saw Eric and made her way over to him.
