Three Hearts

In a flurry of dove grey cashmere and blond hair, Cassandra Archibald glided into her and her parent's townhouse. Nate Archibald and his wife Serena were lounging in their living room. Cassandra was their eldest child. And she was her mother's child; completely. The same pale blond almost to good to be true hair, chiselled face and defined bone structure and that 'you can't stop looking at you, can you?' smile inherited straight from the Van der Woodsen. What she had got from her father were those green eyes of his, those emeralds that saw straight through your soul. Nicholas was Cassandra's younger brother. He had Serena's navy blue eyes, and was basically the male version of Cassandra.

"Hey, get in here." Nate insisted on his daughter joining them. Cassandra was fifteen years old, which meant every boy that had hit puberty, wanted her. Cassandra invited your attention without demanding it.

"Yeah, come hang out with your old ass parents." Serena joked. Cassandra rolled her eyes.

"I can't mom, it's Friday you know I'm meeting Tristan." Her daughter said exasperated. Tristan… the sexiest boy who attended St.Jude's school for boys. Tristan Humphrey, son of the critically acclaimed author Dan Humphrey and film producer Vanessa. With his dark hair, tan skin and rippling biceps, he was the boy every girl wanted to be with. Except he was Cassandra's Tristan. And kind of Audrey's. She let her blond hair cascade onto her shoulders and her mother peered from behind her bedroom door.

"What is it, mom?" She asked. Serena sat down on her daughters four poster bed.

"You and Audrey have been hanging out with Tristan a lot lately. Do you like him?" Serena ventured. Cassandra blushed slightly.

"Of course I like him. He's like, my best friend. And Audrey too." Serena sighed at her daughter's statement. She glanced at the bedside photo of them. It took her back to her days of being fifteen, scared, stupid and frightened of choosing between the two loves of her life.

"No. Do you like him?" Serena asked, with emphasis on the like.

"Oh…" Cassandra trailed off. She couldn't help but like Tristan. He was gorgeous. Beautiful, sexy and smart, everything a guy should be. And he always smelled like the most delicious boy alive.

The problem was; Audrey was her mother's daughter too. And she always knew what she wanted, or rather who she wanted. The same sexy Tristan, Cassandra's Tristan, their Tristan. Serena knew better that it was best not to probe.

"You know what; I'll talk to you when you get home." She said assuring. Serena made her way back to Nate. She collapsed in his arms and sighed.

"What's wrong with our girl?" He asked gruffly.

"Love. Love is what's wrong with our girl." She said, inhaling his sandalwood scent and admiring the spark in his eyes.

"Any guy tries to even mess with her…I'll-

"Hey, calm." Serena joked, sipping her wine.

Cassandra's cell vibrated.

Mind if I tag along with you and T tonight? – A

Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach and a lump formed in her throat. She was looking forward to spending some time with Tristan alone.

Sure – C

She smiled. She remembered that she did love Audrey, her bestie. Her favourite girl.

And part of her always known that there were three hearts in this relationship.

--

"Bye mom and dad. You know I love you!" Cassandra called out, and she had left them just as she had found them. Nate smiled.

"Isn't she fabulously stunning?" Serena said proudly.

"She is. I am her father." He said.

"Yeah and she has your ego too." Serena joked. Nate kissed her cheek.

"I think I might have a talk with this Tristan…tell him not to make the mistakes I did." Nate sighed.

"You didn't make mistakes-

"I ran away too many times Serena. Because I was scared."

"I ran off to St.Barts after you first proposed!" She argued.

"You know something?" Nate began soulfully, "I don't think that's true. We weren't running from each other."

"Why's that?" Serena asked.

"We're not running now." He replied, holding her, smelling her and loving her.

--

Serena opened her laptop. Something told her it was time.

Hey People!

Like most juicy stories, it started with a boy and two girls

Just when you thought the love triangle of S, N, and B was the most fabulous to ever grace the Upper East Side, a hot new threesome enters to rule; A, T and C…

--

I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. The triangle of Blair, Nate and Serena was for me; the most interesting aspect of the GG series. Cecily von Ziegasar always did an amazing job keeping you guessing who N was going to end up with. And during the majority of the series, N and B had to most time together. But there was always something there between N and S. She was his happy ending. And he was the only guy for her. I fell in love with them ever since that line "her heart speed up as he began walking towards her." They are that couple. And if you read the prequel, "It had to be you" Nate loves Serena and that's the obvious.

Leave a review please? With Chace Crawford on top?

You know I love you!
