Nobody realised what was going on. Nobody realised that he belonged to her and she belonged to him. The had spent nearly three months sneaking around with each other and found that it kept their relationship alive. The fear of getting caught with each other made their sex life phemonal . Tonight had been the black and white ball. Blair had worn a black dress with her hair pinned up. Chuck found it nearly impossible not to touch her. He found it impossible to keep his hands off her. He always found her the most stunning person in the room but tonight was even beyond his wildest dreams. He discreetly kepted an eye on her throughout the whole night. Partly because he did not want anyone leeching over her, and partly because he was enjoying watching her.

Chuck was trying to keep his head in the conversation he was having with Nate, and not think about what he would rather be doing to Blair. He trying not to imagine taking the dress off her, and revealing with lacey number she had on tonight. He tried not to imagined running her faux silk stockings down her leg, and right off her foot, the running his hand back up her leg over her smooth silky skin. He bit his lip at the very thought of it. He knew he should feel slightly guilty that he was thinking about while he was standing beside her ex boyfriend but seeing her looking like that, he really only cared about one thing: her.

"I called round to your hotel last night but you weren't there"

Chuck smirked. Of course he was there, but so was Blair. "You know me, I was having fun. You need to learn to call first dear Nathaniel. You never know what fun you could distrub"

"How do you get away with being such an ass?" Nate laughed

"Money my friend, it's all to do with the money." Chuck glanced over at Blair, and winked at her. He saw a little smile dance across her face before she turned away. If only Nate knew, he was anything but an ass. Chuck Bass was in a commited realtionship for the first time in his life. Three months he had only been with one girl. It certainly was different for him to be with one girl, but he had to admit he liked it. He liked that somebody knew everything about him, that somebody cared about, that somebody actually wanted him for more than his bed and his bank balance.

"It will catch up with eventually you know. Someday it's going to come back to haunt you."

"Good thing I can run fast then isn't it"

"You have never ran anywhere in your life." Nate laughed

"It's a metaphor. We both know when I say run, I mean fly." Chuck rolled his eyes "Plus nobody can stay mad at me for too long."

"I am going to test that theory someday. I will call up some of your past conquests and ask them what they think of you"

Chuck laughed "If you are spending that much time obsessing over my personal life you really need to tap some ass."

"I get plently of ass thank you"

"Your own doesn't count Nathaniel" Chuck said pulling out his phone. He flipped it open and wrote a message. "Really hope everyone leaves soon. Can't concentrate when you look like that Cx"

"Lining up tonight's conquest?"

"Something like that" Chuck smirked "Do you want a number from this phone?"

"No thanks. Venereal diseases aren't really my cup of tea"

"Nate VD's are part of culture. It's like modern art for the bedroom"

"I am not going to a gallery with you anytime soon"

Chuck laughed "You couldn't stand the excitment"

"Chuck you really are going to become impotent one day"

"That's not even romotely funny Nathaniel. That is something extremely serious."

Nate rolled his eyes. Chuck took a sip of the champagine he was holding. He saw Blair reading the text he had sent her and smiled into the glass. He could see her smiling and knew she was loving the effect she was having on him. He was planing to have an equally distracting effect on her later on this evening, and that was the only thing getting him through tonight was the thought of Blair being in bed with him in a matter of hour. That was the only thing that mattered to him was getting through with this rediculous party so that he and Blair could be together.

Blair had also been watching Chuck carefully. She loved when he wore a suit. She loved to unbutton the top of his shirt. She loved the reaction she got when she ran her hands over his chest. The party dragged for Blar. She wanted everyone to go home so that she and Chuck could be together. She snuck a quick look over at Chuck and he winked at her. She was pulled back into the conversation she was having with Peneople, Hazel and Izzy. She pretended to be interested about the latest scandel, which of course was some freshman being caught with a teacher. They say if you wait long enough a certain style comes back into fashion but it seems on the Upper East Side, if you wait long enough a scandel comes back into style.

Serena brought Blair over a drink. This finally brought her out of trance. She took the drink and sipped it. "So have you spoken to Nate lately?"

"Not really" Blair answered. When her and Chuck offically ended their public realtionship, everybody assumed she would get back together with Nate. Her and Chuck had never really broken up, but only they would know that. "Classes are keeping me busy. What about you and Dan?"

"We don't really talk anymore" Serena shrugged. She was expecting an answer but Blair had gotten distracted by a text message. Serena knew something was going on but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Sorry, what did you say?" Blair said looking back up at Serena

"I said me and Dan don't really talk anymore. What's going on with you?"

"Yeah, you've been distracted all night" Hazel chipped in "You have never been this quiet"

"I am just checking out what every else is wearing. I want to make sure I have the nicest dress." Blair knew Hazel, Penople and Izzy would buy this. She wasn't so sure about Serena. She needed to stop thinking about him, she needed to get her head back into the conversation or people were going to start getting suspicious. "So why aren't you and Dan speaking?" Blair said diverting the conversation away from her.

"We were only every one thing, so we can't really do the friends thing" Serena shrugged.

"Give it time, you just need to find common ground without it being intimate." Blair answered "Friendships just don't happen over night like they did when we were younger."

"I am just not used to trying"

"God" Blair laughed "Welcome to the real world, friends don't normally happen over night for the rest of us."

"Sorry that did sound a bit big-headed didn't it?"

"Yes" Blair nodded "It did."

"Sorry I really didn't mean it to" Serean smiled "So what classes are you taking?"

"Too many. NYU really does suck. They think they are some Ivy League wonder school when really they are just fully of hippies. People there really have no class."

"You know Blair, maybe if you weren't so judgemental people might like you" Serena pointed out

"I wouldn't want these people to like me. They are too.....annoyingly common"

"It's not constance anymore. Plus you might meet some nice boys there. It would be good for you to get a new beau"

"And you have been going out on how many dates lately? Seriously Serena, let Humphrey go. You tried to slum it and it didn't work, so now try somebody with some class."

"Blair you can be such a snob sometimes"

"Yes but it pays better to have standards" Blair smiled sneaking another quick glance over to Chuck. If only everybody knew what her standards where and how they were being met. Serena and Blair were interupted by Hazel and Izzy "Oh-my-God-ing" over the latest Gossip Girl post. She rolled her eyes and went to the bar to get another drink.
