A New Era Begins May 2008
a new york state of mind
?Hello; Manhattan!? Blair Waldorf cheered; hopping off theCharlotte and onto the Battery Park
wharf。 A huddle of unnaturally tan bikini…clad girls stood next to their private yacht; theMiami
Mama ; glaring at Blair while their hot; polo…shirted crew unloaded their bulging Coach duffels
onto the weathered gray wood of the dock。 The high…rises of Battery Park City stood in the
distance; the bright August sun reflecting off thousands of windows。 Across town; the South Street
Seaport boardwalk bustled with tourists wearing unflattering horizontal…striped polo shirts with
overstuffed fluorescent fanny packs; and aggressive rollerbladers weaving their way through the
crowd。
Blair licked her red and pletely bare lips?who needed lip gloss when you?d been kissed that
much??and glanced back at theCharlotte 。 Nate Archibald?s lanky frame appeared on deck; tanned;
bare…chested; and grinning; his wavy brown hair streaked with gold; his eyes perfectly matching
the green Billabong board shorts hanging low on his hips。
Yummy。
Blair resisted the urge to get right back on the boat and drag him down to theCharlotte ?s
ridiculously tiny bedroom。 Even though they?d been together 24/7 for the last month; drinking
frosty…cold mango margaritas all day and getting hot and sweaty all night; she still couldn?t get
enough of him。
Apart from enjoying each other?s pany; there had also been the requisite visits to charming
New England seaside towns like Rockport and Camden for cups of clam chowder?she?d actually
learned to enjoy it; despite the fact that chowder was just hot; heavily salted cream with little
pieces of chewed; gumlike clams in it?and adventurous forays up rivers and inlets so Nate could
feel like the sailor he was。
Blair closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of Guerlain sunblock still coating her skin; taking in
the feel of the fine grains of sand still stuck between her toes; and the cool ocean breeze that
tickled her cheeks。 She sighed happily as she remembered last night; stretched out beside Nate;
who was wearing light blue linen pajama bottoms; on theCharlotte ?s miniscule bed; falling asleep
with the sound of his heartbeat in her ears。 She ran her hands through her sea…spray…tangled hair
and watched as Nate tied the last knot on the bowline and jumped onto the dock。
?Well; don?t you look happy?? He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist; burying his face in
her dark; wind…blown hair。 ?You even smell nice; for once。? Blair squealed as he began to tickle
her; squirming away。 ?Thanks a lot!? Nate just grinned as he slid his feet into the black worn Teva
flip…flops he?d worn every day at sea。
?I wish I could say the same for you!? She punched him lightly on the arm; fantasizing about the
L?Occitane honey…and…almond body wash and Fr?d?ric Fekkai shampoo awaiting her at home。
The shower on theCharlotte was so fucking small she almost smacked herself in the face with the
glass shower door every time she turned around。 Though she?d been happy to make space for one
more when Nate wanted to join。
Scrub…a…dub…dub!
Despite the memory of the dollhouse…size bathroom; Blair felt a tinge of sadness as Nate threw
her apple green Herv? Chapelier tote over one shoulder and grabbed his own dirty monogrammed
canvas L。L。 Bean tote。 This had been the most blissful month of her life。 After a few days at sea;
she?d almost forgotten why she?d been in such a hurry to get aboard?and stay aboard?theCharlotte
in the first place: the love letter to Nate that hersupposed best friend Serena had slipped into the
glove partment of his father?s Aston Martin before they left。 Blair had found it while Nate
was at a rest…stop bathroom; read it; and promptly shredded the thing to bits。 Not that it mattered
now。 She could totally find it in her heart to forgive poor; lonely Serena?after all; who couldnot
fall in love with Nate? Besides; and most of all; Serena had no chance of ing between them
ever again。
She and Nate were more in love than ever and heading to Yale together in just ten days。 Sure;
Serena was going to be there too; but she and Nate would barely even see her once they ditched
their separate and totally…unsuitable…for…living…happily…ever…after dorm rooms and found a
shabbily elegant New Haven town house to move into。 Once they were settled; they could reenact
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 wi
