golden girl

Serena Van der Woodsen ❝ And you lifted your head and smiled. And I know people aren’t stars, god I know. But fuck science, fuck logic. You are the brightest goddamn sun I have ever seen. ❞ — p.d

“No need to change tune just because Kati dragged me into hosting this with her. If it sucks, let me know and I’ll see what I can do to make it more fun,” he offered, his snakelike coming out to lick his lips as he said the final word before he began walking them towards the bar, “I’m usually a whiskey neat kind of guy, but for you I’d say a gin and roses. Very strong, very summery. And it’s the bartender’s signature drink.”

“I’m not sure if the world is ready to see that. It sounds dangerous.” Words molded into a jest, Serena teased him gently, her laugh letting him know she wasn’t exactly serious about the whole situation. “Huh. That is one of few combinations I have yet to try. Is that who I'd be if I was a drink then? Gin and roses?”

        “Of course there’s an open bar,” Kati laughed. “It wouldn’t exactly be a Farkas party without one.”

“And it’s open? That’s the most important thing at stake here. Drunk people are happy people.”

“It wouldn’t be the Hamptons if there wasn’t any open bar around, would it?” Marley chuckled softly at Serena’s words. “Though I have to admit that I’d kill for an open bar right now as well. Should we look for one together?”

[etherealserena-blog]

“I don’t know. Traditions change. Maybe they’ll try and skin us for all we’re worth.” Caring little for the fact that Marley was a near stranger or some people considered her blacklisted, her mouth faded into a smile. “Sure. We’ll sniff it out.”

“I’ve always loved the Hamptons.” The blonde mused, a gentle smile on her face, her cheeks just slightly flushed in the sun. “It feels like a nice getaway from real life for a bit.” She ran her hand through her hair, looking around. “I’m a sucker for sea and salt.”

[etherealserena-blog]

“I agree. There’s just something about the summer that makes me feel like anything is possible. No matter how poetically weird that sounds.” Turning to face Natalie, a smile etched onto her lips, she exuded warmth, genuinely pleased to be at the blonde’s side.

“Someone brought a doe eyed tourist in as their date - who proceeded in bringing along her friend, who then brought another friend.” Sutton let out a puff a smoke, legs stretched out as she sat on the front step, “in short we’ve been infiltrated and no amount of alcohol could make those Tennessee bobble heads remotely interesting.” 

[etherealserena-blog]

The brunette and her voice catching her off guard, Serena allowed her gaze to drift downwards, unable to suppress the smallest of smiles at her comments. “Nobody says you have to talk to them. Is that why you’re out here? Hiding?”

[hvlygrail]

“Of course. Do you really think we’d plan a party with no open bar? We’re not animals.” The words slipped easily out of his mouth despite his very animalistic tendencies. “It’s this way,” he told her, offering his hand like the gentleman he deceptively appeared to be and nodded in the direction of the bar.

“In that case, might I say what a wonderful party this is turning out to be?” Things finally felt like they might be slipping into place. Gossip Girl had was proving to become a fluke - dying down in the past fortnight, with the pieces of her life slowly slipping into place. Summer felt immense - with a thousand possibilities, any of which could come true. “Any recommendations? I’m guessing its fully stocked.”

“serena,” dark orbs caught he golden hair from a mile away, “i would say it’s surprise. although— it really isn’t.”

[etherealserena-blog]

There went the voice she never thought she’d hear again. The one etched in familiarity, the one she had once loved, feelings melting into something resembling an intent and intense dislike. “I am surprised. I figured you’d never be able to score an invite to the Hampton's.” Shaking her head in near disbelief, she turned to face him. “What are you doing here Dan?”

[hermajestyblair]

“I know where this question leads. Should I already be prepared to escort Sloppy Serena back to the house tonight?”

[etherealserena-blog]

“I’m getting some serious Sophomore year flashbacks. Remember Thanksgiving? That was ugly.”

[saskiaivanova-blog]

       ℋer lips quirked up a little at Serena’s question, a look of mischief ever present in her eyes. “Sure is. Wouldn’t be a party without one, now would it?” 

[etherealserena-blog]

A knowing smile graces her lips at Selene’s words - the party girl living with as much spirit as she had been born with. “Not a good party, anyway. Feel like leading the way?”

[etherealserena-blog]

“Please tell me that there’s an open bar somewhere around here.”

Victoria: Do you like my new outfit?

Serena: Oh, my God, those pants look great. And I bet they'd look even better on Eric's floor.

Eric: Are you hitting on Victoria... for me?
