Stolen Moments

Chapter One

It was the first real rainfall of spring, complete with melting snow and flooding advisories. The sidewalks of New York were lined with a swarm of colors as everyone who was anyone didn't go anywhere without an umbrella. Blair herself made sure that Dorota had undated her umbrella collection to make sure they matched her outfits. There was really no telling how long this rainfall would last.

Blair settled herself on her couch, with her hot tea, looking out at the constant rain. The grey clouds seemed to go on forever, pulling Blair into a furthering depression. She needed sunshine. She needed the new fresh spring to come fast. She needed a change. If she didn't she was bound to go mad.

She had noticed Dorota's glances and curious stares over the past two weeks at her sudden depression. She was supposed to be happy after all right? Chuck had miraculously come to his senses and was pursing her with a new passion. It had all started that night…

Blair felt her chest tighten at the memory. Chuck coming to her in need after finding out another blindsiding truth about his father right after she and… No she wouldn't even think his name! Never! It was just too… too… she didn't know what this feeling was and she hated feeling it constantly! She hated remembering the feel of his lips against hers and the way his hands had traveled down her back. Without thinking, she touched her lips in memory, for what seemed like the billionth time.

She jumped out of her trance at the sound of Serena moving about in her room. Blair sighed and got up, and walked into Serena's room through the bathroom.

"Oh do you still live here?" Blair snided teasingly, meaning it a little.

Serena stopped rummaging through her drawers and looked at Blair.

"Of course I do B! I know I haven't been the best roommate, but I figured you and Chuck would be…"

"Chuck is on a business trip in Tokyo actually." Blair answered quickly.

"OH! Actually my mom might have mentioned something about Tokyo but I didn't put it together." Serena laughed to herself continuing to pull clothes out of her draws.

"So where have you been S? Gossip Girl has had a hard time locating you and you haven't been answering my texts." Blair asked coldly.

She was hurt that Serena had been keeping her in the dark, but deep down inside she was afraid of why. That awful night, Dan had left with Serena, leaving Blair with Chuck. It killed her thinking Serena had been spending all of her time at the loft with…

"Blair, when I tell you please don't get mad." Serena begged sitting down next to Blair.

"Why would I get mad?" Blair asked confused, but she could feel the failure anxiety swarming in his chest. Did Humphrey tell S what had happened between them? She wouldn't put it past the idiot. It was like him to have honestly kicks.

"Okay well…" Serena paused nervously. "Aaron and I ran into each other two weekends ago, and well, we kind of hit it off again…"

"Aaron? As in Cyrus's son Aaron? My stepbrother?" Blair asked with a laugh of disbelief.

"You're not mad?"

"Why would l be mad S?" Blair asked confused.

"Well I know that he is family and…"

"S, as long as you're happy." Blair smiled loving, making Serena look at her with a curious glare.

"Wow B, that's really nice of you."

"Well, I know that Ben leaving was hard of you and you deserve to be happy."

"You have no idea how good it is to hear you say that." Serena smiled taking Blair's hand and squeezing it.

Serena laughed to herself surprised at Blair sudden jolt of kindness. That wasn't exactly the way she had seen this conversation going but took it anyway, thankful that she caught Blair in a good mood. What she didn't know was why Blair was so open to the idea of her and Aaron. To Blair it meant that Serena wasn't spending her time with Humphrey these past weeks like Blair had been imagining. Suddenly Blair felt a lift in her mood.

"So where are you off too?" Blair asked noticing Serena's bag on her bed.

"Oh, well Aaron wants me to go to the Hamptons for the weekend, to get away from the city and maybe the rain."

"Ugh, I know what you mean. I don't think I can take any more of this myself."

"You should go to Tokyo and surprise Chuck!" Serena beamed with the sudden idea.

"Oh no I don't think…"

"Come on Blair! It would be so romantic! Chuck would love it!" Serena gushed.

"It's a great idea, but if I went there for the weekend I would want to stay longer." Blair lied. "And I can't miss any more classes, especially after my brush with W. My professors were nice enough not to fail me."

Blair noticed Serena looking at her suspiciously but was thankful that she let it drop.

"You're always the responsible one Blair." Serena sighed getting up off the bed, resuming her packing.

Blair nodded silently and smiled hesitantly agreeing. She couldn't help but wish at that moment that she could throw caution to the wind and go see Chuck. She could use a distraction, but she knew that wouldn't work forever. She couldn't keep running from the feelings Humphrey gave her when she thought about him, and the idea of being in the city with him alone again made her nervous.

"B? Are you okay?" Serena asked, stopping her packing activities.

Blair looked up at Serena with a forced smile.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?"

"You just looked like you were somewhere else." Serena answered hesitantly, looking Blair up and down.

"I just miss Chuck." Blair lied again. Truthfully she was happy he had to be away on business until next week.

"Okay. Dorota mentioned that you were a little down. I'm sorry I haven't been here for you." Serena frowned.

Dorota mentioned what? Blair made a mental note to scold Dorota later.

"No S, I'm fine really." Blair laughed getting up off Serena's bed. "I have to get ready for class."

"Okay. I'll see you Monday then?" Serena asked a retreating Blair.

"Of Course!" Blair yelled back as she quickly fled through the bathroom and into her room. She closed her door quickly and took a deep breath. What was wrong with her? Now she couldn't even be around her best friend without thoughts of Humphrey invading her mind? No, she would just continue to ignore it—then it would go away. It would just take time.

Dan ran his hands threw his hair once again for the billionth time. For the past two weeks, he had not been able to stop writing, inspired by unexpected events, but none the less, his writing had taken off. He had even interviewed with The New Yorker and felt pretty confident that he would have a position in no time.

Of course they wouldn't have even known who he was if Blair hadn't had made sure his paper got to the right people to begin with. Blair. The thought of her made Dan's heart race still. As much as he didn't understand it, he carried her with him. The past two weeks had been the longest and roughest for him in a while.

After hearing that Blair had taken Chuck back, Dan was surprised to find his heart crushed. It actually hurt that after he and Blair had shared such an intimate moment that she would run right back to Chuck. A part of Dan knew she was running, but from what? Him? Blair had made it clear that she didn't feel anything after their kiss, and shooed him off as soon and Chuck and Serena had arrived. But still Dan couldn't help but feel that Blair had felt something too. It was the way she had kissed him. Maybe he was just not use to kissing Blair. Maybe she was really good at that sort of thing, kissing that was.

"Ugh!" Dan ran his hands down his face frustrated.

He hadn't been able to turn his mind off at all ever since their kiss, and he couldn't help but push everyone away because of it as well. He especially didn't want Serena to get any wind of it. She had gone back to the loft that night with him to say goodbye to Ben, and after he left, Dan being the good guy he was, offered her a glass of wine, and listened to her while she told him what had happened between her and Ben.

He couldn't blame Ben, and he felt bad for Serena, but he couldn't help but notice certain vibes from her. The vibes that meant she wanted to be comforted, but that time he was able to resist, surprising Serena and himself. He laughed to himself at the memory of a confused Serena saying goodnight and leaving the loft, completely aware that there had been a change in him.

Dan couldn't resist and opened his internet browser to Gossip Girl. There was a picture of Serena boarding a plane with Aaron and inquires to where they were off to. Dan shook his head in disbelief. Couldn't Serena be single for one day? The next picture was of Chuck walking the streets of Tokyo. His stomach fluttered a little in the realization that Chuck and Serena were both out of the city. Without thinking, Dan checked his watch, the shot up grabbing his coat.

Relief washed over Blair as her History professor dismissed the class. She loved history, but this professor had found a way to even make it boring to her. Sometimes professors were over rated. She bent down and shoved her laptop into her bag and moved quickly out of the room.

She made her way to the coffee shop for her afternoon caffeine but halted in her tracks as she saw Humphrey sitting at the counter. Suddenly memories flooded her mind and she felt like she couldn't breathe. She attempted to retreat out the door, but she wasn't fast enough, he saw her and smiled. That did it. She didn't realize how much she had missed his smile. As if there was some magnetic pull, she found herself walking over to him.

"What are you doing here?" She demanded instantly. Dan chuckled to himself and took another sip of his coffee.

"Hello to you too Blair." He grinned, making her heart speed slightly.

"No one can see us here, you have to leave!" Blair whispered insistently, making Dan laugh to himself even more, making her glare.

"Why? Were just friends right Blair?" He teased his lip curling into a smile. He watched Blair swallow nervously as she looked at his lips.

"Leave Humphrey! I'm going to the bathroom and when I come back you better be gone." She warned brushing by him.

Dan was surprised at the effect he had on Blair and was curious to see just how far he could take it. He quickly paid his tap, and slipped into the back hallway after her.

He waited patiently and silently beside the ladies rest room door, and as soon as she opened it he surprised her pushing her back in and up against the door, locking it in one swift motion.

"HUMPH…" Blair started to yell, but was instantly cut off by Dan smashing his lips against hers hungrily. He was expecting her to push him off, but was pleasantly surprised when she returned the kiss, even wrapping her arms around his neck, moving her lips eagerly against his.

Dan couldn't help himself and circled his arms around Blair's waist pulling her flush against him and slipped his tongue into her mouth making her moan in approval.

A knock came at the door, flooding reality back to both of them, causing them to break apart, flushed and out of breath.

Blair didn't know what to say. She was ashamed she had let him see her like that…needy and…and… desperate for his touch, but Dan just looked at her with a look on his face. A look of desire. He wanted her and the truth of that caused her to burn for him just as much.

As fast as she could, she unlocked the door and flew out, ignoring the older lady's glare, and ran out of the coffee shop, wishing that Dan would be smart enough not to follow. The last thing she needed was Gossip Girl getting wift of this.

Dan watched her retreat, and smiled to himself, realizing that she was really running from him.

Blair exited her elevator barking orders at Dorota to cancel her day, saying she had a headache, ignoring Dorota's suspicious stare, and flew up the stairs to her bedroom.

Immediately she began to panic. She could help but think about the way Dan had shoved her up against the door and attacked her mouth. She had loved it actually. And then the feeling of him against her…well it had been intoxicating. Her heart was racing even now thinking about it.

"AH!" Blair moaned in frustration falling onto her bed. "I can't be falling for Dan Humphrey!" she whispered frustrated.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door. She shot up, her heart in her throat.

"Miss Blair? Mr. Dan to see you." Dorota's voice came through the door.

"Shit!" Blair whispered, frantically flying off her bed and check herself in the mirror.

"Miss Blair?" Dorota's voice questioned.

Blair opened the door and smiled at Dorota.

"I'll see him in the living room Dorota." Blair answered dismissively. Dorota took the hint and retreated back down the hallway giving Blair a curious look, one that Blair ignored.

Dan wouldn't try anything with Dorota in the next room…would he?

Dan paced back and forth waiting for Blair to come downstairs. He was surprised she had agreed to see him at all, but he was determined. Now that he knew she had feelings for him too, he wasn't going to let her run away any more.

He looked up to see Blair descend in her usual matter down her stair case. She shooed Dorota off to the kitchen and finally made eye contact with him.

"What do you want?" She asked coldly.

"I want to talk." Dan stated simple making Blair roll her eyes.

"There is nothing to talk about Humphrey. Nothing." She warned with a glare.

So that's how she wanted to be? Dan chose to call her bluff and walked up to her slowly keeping eye contact. He noticed her stiffen and look down her breath hitching as he reached out once again, but this time tucked a loose curl behind her ear.

"Blair…" He whispered longingly cupping her cheek lightly, running his thumb gently against her soft skin. Her eyes fluttered up to his and for once he could see emotion on her face. The way he said her name, Blair could help but melt inside.

"Dan…I can't…" She finally mumbled. Her voice was full of emotion and she hated it. She hated showing anyone this side of her. She felt weak and defenseless.

"I just want to talk. Nothing more." Dan promised.

"Nothing more?" Blair asked unsure.

"Nothing more." He nodded with a smile. Blair sighed and reached up removing his hand from her cheek, instead lacing her fingers through his, pulling him up her stair case.

She had no idea why she was doing it, but she just knew she wanted too. She wanted to hear what he had to say, and besides she had missed his company weirdly enough. There was that part of her though that was scared to be with him, but he had promised nothing more than talking. She closed her door nervously behind them, and then turned around to see him sitting on her bed.

"Why are you running from me?" Dan started.

Blair swallowed nervously but was determined not to show his effect on her.

"I'm not running." She denied. "I've just been busy with Chuck and…"

"You haven't answered any of my texts or calls, and you have gone out of your way to not run into me at family functions."

"I was sick Dan. Get over it."

"Since when are you sick? And it was a party to support Lily. I would have thought you would have been pleased to be on Chuck's arm again."

Dan's words sounded a little heated at the end of his sentence and Blair felt a flare of anxiety rise in her chest.

"Say what you really want to say Dan!"

"Fine! You want me to say it? It hurt!" Dan yelled getting off the bed, slowly walking towards her. "I hated how I had to find out from Gossip Girl that you and Chuck were an item again. I hated over hearing Chuck tell Nate about your make up sex, but most of all I hate the feeling of losing you!"

Dan was within feet of her now. His eyes searching hers which were stinging with the beginning of tears.

"I told you before, it didn't mean anything! I felt nothing!" She yelled back letting a tear fall.

"I know it meant something, but you were pretty good Blair, you made me doubt it, until today. You kissed me back."

"STOP! You need to leave! Right now Humphrey!"

"Why? Are you that scared of the truth Blair? Are you that afraid to face what you really feel?"

"I don't feel anything for you! You're delusional!" She sobbed.

"Yes you do! And you're delusional to think you can just ignore this." He said taking a brave step forward. "You are all I can think about Blair." He said more softly. "You're all I want."

"Dan please…" Blair pleaded as another tear fell. "…just go?"

Dan shook his head and closed the distance between them, resting his forehead against hers, refusing to retreat when her walls were starting to fall.

"I'm not going anywhere." He whispered.

Blair leaned away from his and looked up into his eyes, taking him in. His features had softened and he was looking at her in a way that made her blush. She reached up and ran her hand against his face lovingly, making him sigh and close his eyes at the feeling of her touch.

"You don't give up, do you Humphrey?" She questioned quietly.

"You should know this about me by now Waldorf." Dan laughed gently then closed his eyes again as her fingers moved down and traced his lips.

"It's what scares me." She answered hesitantly. "If the world isn't ready for a Humphrey and Waldorf friendship…how will they take to a Humphrey and Waldorf relationship…and then there are people to consider. Serena, Chuck, Jenny…"

Dan took her hand gently and kissed it, then pulled her into a hug, which she gladly accepted.

"You really have thought this out." Dan teased holding her close.

Blair pulled back and glared at him.

"I'm always thinking ahead." She said defensively, but Dan laughed.

"I love that you thought ahead, but why then shut me out?"

Blair sighed and looked at the ground.

"I figured it was just best for everyone if things stayed the way they were."

Dan lifted her chin and made her look at him.

"What if I don't want things to stay the way they were?" Dan asked. "Doesn't my opinion matter?"

"Of course it does, but…"

"But what Blair?" Dan pushed.

"What if we try this and fail miserably. We have only been friends for a couple of months, and then if we were to become more, well we already have hundreds of obstacles in our way! It's almost impossible for any new couple to get started; compare to what we would have to go through!"

"You mean Chuck and Serena?" Dan asked gently.

"And Jenny…" Blair answered in a whispered. "And not to mention what everyone else's response will be."

"So you pushed me away because it was easier than failing miserably in your eyes."

"Dan…I…"

"Don't you think that we should at least try?"

"And hurt everyone in the process?"

"For once Blair, let's just not think about everyone else, for one moment just think about me and only me. Do you care about me?"

Blair hesitated at first but then looked up into Dan's eyes, feeling the butterflies swarm instantly.

"Yes." She answered softly.

"I care about you too." He answered.

Blair smiled slightly feeling her heart swell at his words.

"I don't know if that's enough Dan." She replied much to Dan's disappointment.

"I know it is." Dan answered strongly.

"How do you know?"

"Because you are enough." Dan stated simply but made Blair's heart melt instantly. "As long as you're by my side—no matter what we might get thrown in our way, in the end you are worth it."

Blair had never expected this to come out of Dan's Humphrey's mouth and before she could stop herself she leaned up and brushed her lips against his. She felt a hand land on her lower back and the other brush threw her hair lovingly. She pulled away to see him grinning at her, and could help but grin back.

"I thought you said just talking Waldorf."

"No, you said that."

She answered slyly before leaning up and kissing him again. This time Dan was ready and took control, biting down on her lower lip gently, parting her lips, deepening the kiss. Blair lost herself immediately, as Dan's tongue entered her mouth making her lose all self-restraint she had.

Blair began to push Dan back towards her bed, until the back of his legs hit the mattress, sending her tumbling on top of him. As soon as Dan got his baring's he flipped them over pinning Blair to the mattress, settling himself between her legs, and heard her moan in approval.

Dan broke their kiss and started to make a trail of sloppy kisses down Blair's neck, while pushing into her, hearing her whimper in response.

"Dan…" She barley whispered pulling at the bottom of his shirt. Dan groaned as he felt her hands glide up his stomach.

He sat up and allowed Blair to remove his shirt. Once off, she ran her hands gently up and down his chest, then down his arms, finally leaning forward and placing a kiss in the center of his chest. Dan growled in response making Blair laugh and reached forward, freeing her of her own shirt. Dan hitched his breath at the sight of Blair's cute pink bra. She blushed.

Dan reached forward and ran his hand across her chest, then down cupping her breast, rubbing his thumb over where her nipple would be. She moaned in response and arched her back into his hand, while Dan lunged forward and captured her mouth again.

Blair reached back and unhooked her bra, letting it slide down her arms. Dan pushed her back against her mattress and took one of her breast into her mouth, hearing encouragement from Blair. He continued downward and pulled her skirt and tights off, leaving her only in her pink panties. He looked back up at Blair, to see her eyes filled with desire but fear. They were about to cross a line.

"Blair…" Dan started hesitantly. "We don't have to. I mean I don't want you to do…"

Blair reached up and slowly unbuckled Dan's belt, pulling his pants and boxers down. He looked at her with wide eyes.

"I want this. I want you." She whispered pulling his mouth to hers again, pulling him down on top of her. Dan responded quickly by pulling her panties down her legs, positioning himself.

Blair gasped and Dan moaned as he entered her. Blair hands grabbed Dan's back for leverage as he slowly worked in and out of her. She opened her eyes to find him staring lovingly down at her. She bent up and kissed him passionately. She and Dan weren't having sex; they were making love, something Blair hadn't experienced in a long time. Suddenly she broke away from his lips, closing her eyes and arching her back, as he thrusted harder and faster.

Blair screamed Dan's name as she reached her peak, coming undone underneath him. She heard Dan come not long after her, her name on his lips, as he fell onto her bed next to him.

Blair wasn't sure how long they laid there, but she wanted to stay like this forever.

She felt Dan shift pulling the covers over them, and she greatfully climbed underneath, and snuggled up against him, resting her head on his chest, feeling him sigh with content. She could hear his heart beating fast still from their previous activity and smiled to herself.

"You're enough for me." Blair whispered quietly against his chest, then let sleep claim her, feeling content but exhausted.
