their cozy time on theCharlotte 。 She?d laugh at Nate for not knowing how to cook anything?not
that she could make much more than caviar on toast points?and he?d have gin gimlets waiting for
her when she got back late from one of her pre…law lectures。 It was going to beperfect 。
?Your house or mine?? she asked with a sultry smile。 Nate?s emerald green eyes glittered in the
sun; and Blair affected a little pout; which she knew he couldn?t resist。 She turned around to face
the water and closed her eyes; basking in the sun like a contented cat。
Meow。
Nate dropped the totes he?d been carrying and put his hands on Blair?s smooth; tanned shoulders。
She leaned back into him and he nuzzled her neck; looking out at the shimmering blue water。 He
thought about the last few weeks。 He?d been so happy out on the waves; with nothing in front of
them but the clear blue sky and the roaring ocean。
A ringing noise erupted from his pants and Nate jumped back。Shit 。 His cell。 They hadn?t had a
connection out at sea; and he hadn?t heard the damn thing ring in weeks。 Nate pulled the Motorola
Pebl from his rumpled khaki cutoffs and looked at the screen: HOME。Double shit 。 He pressed
IGNORE and resisted the urge to throw the thing into the water behind him。 Then he grabbed
Blair?s soft shoulders; a little tighter this time; already worried about the unavoidable
confrontation with his dad over his future; which was kind of a mess now due to some recent
mishaps。
The message Coach Michaels had left him before he climbed aboard theCharlotte repeated itself
on a loop in his head。 He wouldn?t be getting his diploma from St。 Jude?s; Yale was out of the
question。 Of course; Coach had probably broken the news to Nate?s strict former Navy captain
father by now; which meant he?d be getting a serious reaming as soon as he walked in the door。
Knowing his dad; he?d probably been calling to rip him a new one every day for the last month;
and this was the first time the signal had e through。 Obviously he should have dealt with the
situation; like; weeks ago; but surrounded by all that ocean and Blair?s bikini…clad body; who
could think straight?
Nate pushed his parental worries aside and refocused on Blair。 He hadn?t told her about the
diploma?or lack thereof?yet; and he wasn?t looking forward to it。 He wondered if he could just
head to New Haven with her and Serena and sneak into the occasional class on Western films or
nude portraiture and tell everyone he had a lot of AP credits so he was taking an easy load this
semester。
A load; indeed。
Nate sighed。 The truth had waited this long?what was one more day? He bit down on his chapped
bottom lip and tried to concentrate on how tan and smooth Blair?s shoulders were under his
fingers。 All he wanted was to crawl back down into theCharlotte ?s tiny bedroom; get under the
covers with her; and never e out; except maybe to smoke a joint。
It?s good to see that he has his priorities in order。
