Summary: After Chuck bails Georgina out of rehab, he realizes that he can't exactly leave her alone, so he calls on the most unlikely of babysitters.

XOXO


Reason Number Five: She Can't Say No to Him.

In the beginning, Vanessa had actually liked Georgina Sparks. Of course, when they first met, she'd merely thought her to be another girl from Brooklyn named Sarah. She'd seemed so normal and fun. Being friends with Sarah had been as easy as breathing. It had seemed so natural, so perfect. Apparently it was too perfect. She'd been everything that Dan's girlfriend wasn't, and it had made it all the more fun to be friends with her. After Nate called her and told her who Sarah really was, she realized that she should have known better. No friendship was that perfect.

Although Nate had told her who Georgina Sparks was, he hadn't told her everything about her. All he'd told her was that she wasn't who she said she was, and that she was going to get revenge on Serena. No one told her that Georgina had grown up with the four of them and that some of them had known her better than others. In all honesty, Vanessa hadn't thought to ask. She only started wondering why she hadn't asked when she got the phone call from Chuck.

The first time he called her that day she hit ignore. After all, she hadn't spoken to him since they slept together and she wasn't about to be a booty call. When he called her back immediately without leaving a voice mail, she began to wonder why exactly he was calling her in the first place. Chuck didn't seem like the type to beg for anything. Still, she wasn't in the mood to talk to him and once again ignored his call. It wasn't until he called her the third time that she knew something was up.

"What?" She snapped into the phone.

"You're coming over."

Even though she knew Chuck couldn't see her, she couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow at his demanding tone. Like she was actually going to go over to his penthouse just because he told her to. "Excuse me?" She knew starting all of this crap with Chuck was a bad idea from the very beginning. "I am not your booty call."

There was a laugh on Chuck's end, and Vanessa could practically hear his smirk. "As entertaining as that may be, and as much as I'd like to prove you wrong, that's not why I'm calling." He was quiet for a moment. "I need you to babysit someone for me."

Now that got Vanessa's attention. "Chuck Bass is with a child?" She asked slowly, finding the entire situation completely impossible.

"Not exactly…" He said slowly. "Just get over here." And with that he hung up the phone.

Although Vanessa would have loved to prove him wrong and to show him that she was capable of not listening to him and going against one of his crazy ideas, she still found herself getting into a cab and heading over to the east side of Manhattan. And that was how she found herself sitting alone in Chuck's bedroom with Georgina Sparks.

Vanessa would like to think that she's been in far more awkward situations before, but she's not entirely sure if that's true. She's fairly certain that this is quickly becoming the most awkward situation ever and she's not sure if it's because of all the mind games that Georgina played with her and Dan or if it's because she's sitting in Chuck's bedroom. All she knows is that it's all entirely awkward. Not that Georgina seemed to mind at all. She just lay on Chuck's bed flipping through a leather-bound book.

Sighing, she glanced around Chuck's room, willing him to come back immediately. When that didn't work, she picked up his laptop if only to have something to do. After all, Chuck had ruined her day; she did have a life that didn't include being yanked into Chuck's psychotic schemes. With another sigh, she turned on his computer only to find that everything on it was locked except for one file. Wearily, she opened it and immediately let out a shocked gasp. Nervously, she looked up to see if Georgina had noticed. When the other girl didn't look up from her book, Vanessa looked back down at the computer screen.

She was going to kill Chuck Bass. That was it. End of story. She was going to wind up in prison for killing Chuck. He knew very well that she was going to snoop around his computer. In fact, she was fairly certain that he had left it out on purpose just because he could. With another sly look at Georgina, she clicked on one of the photos in the file and found herself staring at a naked picture of herself. Eyes wide in horror, she flipped through nearly a dozen naked pictures of herself. She didn't even remember him taking them, not that she was surprised.

"I don't know how you can do it."

Vanessa immediately felt herself blush before immediately exiting out of the folder of pictures and closing his laptop. "Do what?" She asked, hoping that Georgina had no idea what was on Chuck's computer.

"Stay here with me." Georgina explained as she closed the book and shifted her position, lounging against the pillows on Chuck's bed. "I mean, isn't this awkward for you?"

Immediately thinking that she was talking about all the drama with Dan last year, Vanessa shrugged. "Just a little. I mean with everything that you did to Dan-" She trailed off when she noticed Georgina's strange look. "What?"

Georgina just continued staring at her. "He didn't tell you?" She asked before picking up the leather book again. Off the expression on Vanessa's face, she waggled the book at her. "Chuck. He didn't tell you?"

Still having no idea what Georgina was talking about, Vanessa just raised an eyebrow at her. "What? About him breaking you out of rehab? I kind of figured." She honestly couldn't think of anything else that involved Georgina and Chuck.

This time Georgina laughed. "He really didn't tell you? Well, that's Chuck for you." She shook her head lightly and began flipping through pages in the book. "You are ithe/i Vanessa right? The 'BoHo Barista'? The girl who got him over Miss Perfect?" She flashed Vanessa a picture from the book.

At that moment, Vanessa realized two things. First, she realized that Georgina had been reading Chuck's journal this whole time, and the second thing she realized was that she was staring at a naked picture of herself that was pasted onto one of the pages. Immediately she sprung onto the bed next to her and grabbed the book from Georgina's hands. Greedily, she stared at the picture of her, and all the words that surrounded it in Chuck's swoopy writing. Frowning, she realized that he didn't write out complete sentences, just whatever popped into his head.

Fucking hot.

Too bad she's from Brooklyn.

Little vixen. She'd be a good ride.

She looked amazing at the wedding.

I CANNOT fuck another one of Nate's girlfriends.

So hot!

Sleeping with V is the key to Blair's heart?

There's more to her that what meets the eye.

She wants to save the world.

Nate doesn't deserve her.

She's fucking kinky.

Who would have thought that a Boho Barista would get Blair out of my head?/i

She's just like me.

Realizing that Georgina was staring at her, Vanessa looked up from the journal and looked over at her, pure confusion shining in her eyes. "I don't understand what this has to do with you." Frankly, she didn't understand why Chuck would have an entire page in his journal devoted to her. A sick part of her, however, wanted to know how many pages Chuck had devoted to Blair. She knew better than to look though; it would just make her feel worse about herself.

Georgina didn't say anything. Instead, she took the book out of Vanessa's hands and opened it to the page at the very front of the book.

Confused, Vanessa stared at her for a moment before staring down at the page in front of her. There was a picture of a little girl who had to have been about twelve. She was beautiful. All brown hair and bright eyes. It took Vanessa a moment to realize that it was Georgina. She looked at the words surrounding the picture.

Psychotic bitch.

Worst mistake I ever made.

Whoregina.

It wasn't worth it.

Vanessa stared at her for a long while, unable to think of something to say to her, but Georgina saved her from talking by saying something first.

"We were twelve."

Quickly, Vanessa registered everything that Georgina wasn't telling her. First of all, Georgina lost her virginity to Chuck. Secondly, she was still in love with him. It was enough to make Vanessa want to be sick. Suddenly she found that she wished that she'd asked Nate more about Georgina when she'd first learned who Sarah really was.

"I- I have to go." And with that Vanessa sprinted from the bed and out of Chuck's room only to run right into Chuck himself.

His arms wrapped around her instinctively to keep her from toppling over. "Leaving so soon, Abrams?"

Vanessa struggled out of his grasp and did the first thing that she could think of doing, and punched him square in the mouth.

"What the hell was that for?" He demanded to know as he rubbed at his mouth.

Instead of giving him an answer right away, Vanessa just smacked his chest a couple of times before his hands clamped down on hers to stop her. She sighed lightly when she realized that he was surprisingly stronger than her and shot him a dirty look. "You had me come over and babysit your ex-girlfriend, Chuck! That's sick!" She struggled once again, but he kept a tight hold on her.

"Georgie is not my ex-girlfriend." He tried to justify. "She was a childish mistake."

Vanessa's eyes narrowed. "Then why did you just call her Georgie?" And with that she stomped on his foot, which caused him to let go of her arms. After an extra little kick, she continued storming as far away from his room as possible.

His hand suddenly clamped down onto her arm, and he successfully pulled her to a stop. "Vanessa." He turned her around so she was facing him before hissing out, "Don't leave me alone with her. She's fucking insane!"

She couldn't help the smirk that lit up her face. "And she's been reading your diary."

"I do not have a diary." He tried to interject.

Her smirk deepened. "Interesting reading, Bass." Suddenly she remembered the pictures, and punched him once again in the mouth. "And delete those pictures."

He stared at her for a moment, letting go of her in order to rub at his mouth again. "Are we good now?" He asked lazily before offering her his hand.

Vanessa studied him for a moment, thinking about it seriously. Sure, she was still pissed off at him, but he had admitted to being afraid of Georgina. So it kind of made up for it in her mind. Besides, when it came to Chuck Bass, she wasn't as strong as she'd like to be. "Do I get to punch you again?" She asked playfully as she slipped her hand into his and let him lead her back to his bed room.

Her comment was ignored because the second they walked back into his room Georgina cried out happily, "Chuck! You're back!" Then she wrapped her arms around Chuck's neck, successfully separating Chuck and Vanessa before suddenly pulling back and giving Vanessa a dirty look. "Oh, and you're back, too."

As Chuck pried himself completely out of Georgina's grasp, Vanessa appraised Georgina for a moment. "If I can't punch you, can I punch her?" She asked hopefully.

Chuck winked at her. "I have a better plan." With that, he grabbed Vanessa, and pulled her close to him before kissing her hungrily.

Georgina groaned in the background. "You should have left me in rehab."
