Title: For Now

Summary: For now I'll settle with holding her hand while she sleeps. CB Drabble. Post 2x22
A/N: More drabble because I'm hanging in there like a true Chair fan, but its getting tough! Where is my Chair love?!
She's sitting perfectly still and staring resolutely out of the window. Every since we stepped into the limo she hasn't said a word.
I can't help but smile though; Blair, Chuck and limos have always been a good combination.
Her lips are lightly pursed and I can tell she is planning the next phase in our bid to save Serena. I'll admit it, I've missed this.
She's in her element and its pretty effing hot to watch.
It's a long ride, and I'm enjoying the close proximity to her. I know she'll be angry when she finds out how I contrived this little trip to get her away from dear Nathaniel, but it'll be worth it.
In any case, she knows me. She should be expecting it.
Nate's hasty request for her to move in was a test for her and a dare for me. Two fatal mistakes right there. Of course she would choose to aid her best friend, and I'm not one to back down when provoked.
I can't even fathom how Nate thinks he can keep watch on her in that cheap little glass box in Murray Hill. As if he could control her, as if she would ever let anyone contain her.
They might be the golden couple once more but the image is looking a bit frayed at the edges. I can see she is playing her perfect-girlfriend role but her eyes don't match her mouth. She says word of devotion yet her eyes don't shine like they should when she's with him.
To tell the truth, I'm not actively chasing my best friend's girlfriend and I'm not biding my time to before I swoop in and steal her this time. And while I did rise to the challenge in Nate's eyes, I'm not even scheming to break them up.
It's enough for me, as her eye slide close. Enough to just be sitting beside her as she shifts towards me in her sleep.
Any moment now the real Blair, the Blair that I want, is going to emerge. But for now I'll settle with holding her hand while she sleeps.
