Oops. Nate stood frozen in the doorway, blinking. Blair's clothes were on the floor and her delicate hand with its little ruby ring was curled around the neck of somebody blond. The blond person turned his head, proving not to be a member of the Dutch Olympic snowboarding team?thankfully?but Erik van der Woodsen, Serena's older brother. Which wasn't much better. ?Sorry,? Nate muttered. ?I just needed some stuff out of the closet.? ?Um, can you come back later? We're kind of busy,? Erik said, without a hint of embarrassment. Nate just stood there staring at them with his hands in his pockets. He needed some sort of explanation or acknowledgment from the bottom half of the Erik-Blair nooky sandwich before he could turn his back. But Blair just lay there with her eyes closed. Erik had almost talked her body into going on the trip she'd wanted to take in the first place, but at the sound of Nate's voice, she canceled the flight. Finally she heard the sound of the door closing and Nate's footsteps hurrying down the hall. Then she rose up on her elbows and inched her body away from Erik's, pulling the sheet up over her chest to cover herself. ?Actually, this was going to be my first time,? she admitted, blushing with shame for lying about it when he'd asked. ?But I guess I'm not ready.? She looked up at Erik, her blue eyes round, hoping with all her heart he wouldn't be too mad. Erik's adorable lips curled up in a half smile. ?Nah. You're ready. I'm just not the right guy, that's all.? And it's no secret who is.

Yes, we've been busy, busy,busy . But before I get down towho 's gotten intowhat troublewhere , let me first clarify a few things in no particular order. a) The members of the Dutch Olympic snowboarding team are notall gay or married or boring. I know this because I hooked up with one of them very briefly when my family was skiing in Banff. His name was Jansen, and he was gorgeous beyond belief. b) If you are still a virgin when you go off to college, you won't be the only one. I know this ? well, just because I know. c) It is not a federal offense to drop mail into a river, unless you work for the postal service. d) Itis a federal offense not to answer a girl's e-mail when all she wants is for you to forgive her and kiss and make up. It is also a federal offense to receive a gift and not say thank you.And it is very definitely a federal offense to run naked down a public road, especially when the police are chasing you?see news below. e) Last but not least, as much as I hate to say it, we all feel better about ourselves when we aren't fighting with our parents. Glad we got that cleared up. Now, the latest news ? Infamous Connecticut heiress and Upp............
