The Non Judging Breakfast Club
"This is going to be so fun," a 5 year old Nate said as he bounced in his seat. Chuck only rolled his eyes in response. His definition of fun didn't include playing with strangers and getting your clothes dirty. The limo came to a stop and the driver opened the door. Nate rushed out and dragged Chuck with him. Chuck pulled his hand from Nate's grasp and watched him run inside.
Chuck trailed behind and fixed the scarf around his neck. "Hello," he heard a female voice say and he turned around. Standing in front of him was a middle-aged woman smiling at him. "You must be Charles," she said and put a hand on his shoulder. "Your father already signed you in so you can just go and play with the other kids," she said and pointed to a playground.
He shrugged her hand of his shoulder and walked over to the playground and immediately spotted Nate with some blond girl.
"Hey Chuck," Nate called and motioned for him to come over. The blondie standing in front of Nate turned around and smiled at Chuck. "Hi, I'm Serena," she said and then pointed to a brunette standing nearby, "and that's my best friend Blair." The brunette looked up at the mention of her name and walked over to them.
"Hi," she said shyly as she looked at Nate. "Blair, this is Nate," Serena said and Chuck could see how completely smitten the pretty brunette was by Nate. Both of the girls were.
"Nice to meet you," he said and she let out a small giggle. Ugh, this was getting to lovey-dovey for his taste. Without anyone noticing he slipped away and sat down inside. No way in hell was he going to sit outside. "Aren't you going to come outside and play?" a small voice interrupted after a few minutes of silence.
He turned around and saw the brunette from earlier standing there, tracing circles with her foot. "No," he answered simply and turned back in his seat. He heard the girl move closer and suddenly she was standing right behind him. "Why not?" she questioned and when he turned around to make a snarky comment he noticed the pout on her ruby lips. He sighed and got up from his seat. They stood there in silence for a few minutes, both looking to the ground. "I like your scarf," she said, breaking the silence. A small smile formed on his lips and he looked up to meet Blair's hazelnut brown eyes. "Thanks," he said and she smiled in returned. "Can I try it on," she asked quietly and blushed when he raised an eyebrow in a questioning look.
"Sorry, it was a stupid question," she mumbled and turned around. Starting to walk away, she felt a strong hand grab her arm. Turning her head she saw the boy with the scarf (she forgot to ask Serena for his name) standing there. She turned around and saw him lifting off his scarf. She felt a pair of hands brush her shoulders and sure enough the silky scarf was sitting around her shoulders. Her skin tingled after his gentle touch and a small smile formed on her lips. She fingered the soft material and saw a smirk plastered across his face.
"There you are," Serena's chirpy voice filled the room as she entered, Nate following closely behind. Blair quickly pulled the scarf from around her neck and threw it over to the boy. "Hey Chuck," Nate said as he walked over to him. So that's his name, Blair thought as Serena dragged her away.
"Hey," Chuck answered absentmindedly as he fixed his gaze on Blair. Serena leaned in and whispered something to Blair. Blair gave a quick nod and then they walked over to the boys. Serena nudged Blair with her elbow after a few moments of silence.
Blair sighed and took a deep breath. "Well, we were wondering if you would like to go with me and Serena to my place to play later today," Blair rushed out and then looked down to her feet that were currently drawing small circles on the floor, something she had been doing a lot for the last minutes. "Well?" Serena asked when neither of the boys made an attempt to answer the question. Chuck noticed Blair's shy glances at Nate and felt an unusual rush of jealousy. Of course it wasn't his best friend's fault that every girl they met seemed to fall head-over-heels for his shabby blond hair, sparkling blue eyes and his good guy persona.
After watching the exchange between Blair and Nate for a few moments he couldn't take anymore and pushed past Serena and walked quickly away. He didn't even know why he was so pissed. Well, that wasn't entirely true, he knew it was because he wanted to be the person Blair was gazing adoringly at.
But he would never admit that. Because he was Chuck Bass.
Serena, Nate and Blair looked after Chuck as he walked quickly away. "Where is he going?" Serena questioned. Nate who was still staring after Chuck just shrugged his shoulders and finally looked back to Serena. "So are you coming?" Blair asked suddenly and Nate turned his attention to her. "Totally," he answered and Blair felt her cheeks heat up because of the big smile he gave her.
Blair and Serena were waving Chuck and Nate goodbye as their limo drove away. The four of them had spent the whole day together and Blair was pretty satisfied with all the attention Nate had given her.
But even though he was incredibly nice and cute (and probably everything she wanted in her prince charming) her mind kept wondering back the dark haired boy with his chocolate brown eyes. Plus, the way it had felt when his hands had gently brushed her shoulders. Her skin felt electrified just thinking of it. But she quickly dismissed those thoughts.
Nate was perfect; he would be her Prince Charming. That was how it was meant to be. She just knew it. Little did she know that a certain Dark Night was not about to give up his Queen without a fight.
