A/N: So I've had the idea for this fic for months now. And like all of my ideas they won't leave me alone until I complete them. And I know it's stupid of me to start another fic in the school year when I have tons of work and another chapter fic I'm working on but whatever. So please read and review!!! Thank you muchly!!!!

"Blair, if you're going to wear one of my designs tell me so we can at least get it properly fitted," Eleanor beamed.

"Thanks, Mom. I'll keep that in mind. Great party," Blair falsely smiled back before walking away. Searching the room for him.

Then there he was leaning in the corner with a scotch in his hand. Nate had spent most of the evening with his father and his associates and Blair could tell that had upset him. I mean things might not have been the same between the two but they were at least still friends.

Slowly she reached out and tapped his shoulder. Immediately he turned around, the frown on his face widening into a smirk as soon as he saw her.

"To what do I owe this pleasure, Blair? I thought you would have too many people to schmooze with to spend time with little old me," he put a fake pout of hurt on his face.

"Come on," she laughed as she grabbed his hand and began pulling him out of the room. Nobody paid much attention anymore. Before whenever Chuck and Blair even talked people would whisper. When they would go off together people would stare, and when Blair dumped Nate for him it was the biggest scandal of the season.

"What's going on?" Chuck asked as he was brought into Blair's room and was quickly pushed onto her bed. Blair quickly climbed on top of him, unbuttoning his jacket. "I want to do this, it, now," she whimpered and was quickly shut up by Chuck's mouth attacking hers, pulling her closer to him as his hands slid under her dress. As she moved down to kiss his neck Chuck groaned and slowly pulled her dress over her head. Then after giving her a long kiss he flipped them both over so he now leaned over her, shrugging off his already unbuttoned shirt.

"Blair! Serena's here!" Her mother called from downstairs. Neither Chuck nor Blair acknowledged this as they both continued.

Right as Chuck's hands moved to the clasp of Blair's bra a knock came on the door followed by her mother's voice making them both freeze. "Blair! Serena's downstairs, come down and see her immediately. Are you there?"

"Yeah. Coming!" Blair yelled back, still out of breath. Slowly sitting up and throwing her dress back on she headed out the door.

Blair walked outside right as Nate had been heading toward Serena. The minute he saw her he nervously turned away. "Serena! So good to see you," Blair chimed. "Come, we're about to have dinner."

"I'll set a place for you at the table next to Blair," Eleanor added.

"Actually there's somewhere I have to go," Serena said.

"You're leaving?" Blair asked, dejectedly.

"Yeah I just… I don't feel well. I just wanted to come by and say hi. I'll see you at school tomorrow," she said while heading out the door.

Blair moved over to stand by her minions right as Chuck came next to her, straightening his jacket. "School, so I guess she's back for good." And she didn't even need to look up to see the smirk on Chuck's face.

**********

"What no comment about how hot Serena looked last night?" Nate joked with Chuck as they sat on the bus. Chuck didn't answer he just looked at Nate skeptically.

"Something about violating it…" Nate mumbled off.

"I have a girlfriend, Nathaniel," Chuck answered, not being able to help laughing at Nate's attempts to be like Chuck Bass.

"Who's my ex-girlfriend," Nate reminded him. "And you two haven't even…" he took a minute to find the most Chuck like comment, "sealed the deal yet."

"Who says seal the deal," he drawled out, getting a laugh from Nate. "Come on." As they both stood Chuck turned around, "Are you following us or something?"

"No. I... I go to your school. Identical uniforms, that kind of a tip off," the guy answered.

"That's funny," Nate mumbled as they all stepped off the bus.

***********

"When's the party?" Serena questioned, picking up one of the invites. All the girls paused.

"Saturday," Blair gave in. "And you're kind of not invited, since until twelve hours ago everyone thought you were at boarding school. Now we're full, and Jenny used up all the invites." When Jenny started to protest she was cut off with a, "You can go now," and she ran off. Serena and Blair stared at each other for a minute before Blair stated, "Sorry."

"No, it's ok. I got a lot of stuff to do anyway," Serena said, obviously annoyed.

"Well we should get going then, unless you want us to wait for you. Looks like you got a lot of yogurt left," Blair said as she stood holding the invitations.

"No go ahead," Serena said. Not noticing Blair's smirk as she passed her, thinking she had won.

"Blair. Think we could meet tonight," Serena spun around. Being faced with Blair and her minions.

"I'd love to, but I'm doing something with Chuck tonight," Blair smiled.

"Chuck?" Serena said her mouth dropping open in surprise. Kati and Is both laughed at Serena's confusion, and when Blair nodded like nothing was wrong Serena quickly straightened out.

"The palace. 8 o'clock."

"I can probably do a half hour."

"Thanks for making the time."

**********

"You missed some classic Eleanor Waldorf meltdowns. If it wasn't such a tragedy it would've been funny. Actually kinda was," Blair stated earning laughs from both of them.

"Well I wish I could've been there," Serena said truthfully. "And I guess I must've missed more then that, since I believe I heard something about Chuck," she questioned, her eyebrow raising.

Blair blushed and looked down at her drink. "Yeah, we're kind of dating. Actually I have to go, I have something special planned."

When they both stood up they gave each other a long hug. "I love you, B," Serena said. "Love you too, S," Blair replied as she walked out the door.

A few minutes later Chuck walked up and sat next to Serena who had knocked back a few drinks. "I have to tell my father the hotel he just bought is serving minors," he drawled.

"And if you get a drink, they're also serving pigs," she turned to look at him.

"And here I was thinking that I got special privilege since I'm dating your best friend," he laughed.

"Other way around," Serena mumbled.

"Well then what can I do to fulfill my duty?" he said, obviously amused with the conversation.

"How about some food. I've been drinking on an empty stomach," Serena said, messed up from the multiple drinks.

"Heard you didn't do that anymore," he looked at her curiously.

"Special occasion."

Chuck nodded, "Well how about a grilled cheese with truffle oil. You do love truffles."

"Enough to know it's not on the menu."

"Good thing I'm connected," he laughed as he stood up, holding out his arm. When she didn't stand up he finished, "Come on, Blair's waiting for me."

********

Blair paused in her movements around the room and slowly opened the door, her mouth dropping open in shock. "Nate, what are you doing here?"

He walked inside and looked around at all the candles Blair had set up around the room. "Is it too much," she said shyly. When Nate continued looking uncomfortable and not making eye contact she paused. "What's wrong?"

"Look I don't know how to say this. Or if it's even the right thing to do. But um… there's something I need to tell you."

********

As Serena sat finishing off her sandwich Chuck leaned next to her. He turned to her, "I know about you two you know?"

"What?" she whispered.

Chuck gave her a pointed look, "Last year, the Shepard wedding. You think I don't know why you left town."

"No, that was then. I'm trying to change," she stuttered.

"I liked you better before," Chuck drawled. "But this better not hurt Blair," was the last thing he said before he walked out of the kitchen, leaving a very frightened looking Serena.

When he got to Blair's he spent the time in the elevator going over how he looked, trying to shake off the twisty feeling in his stomach. When he stepped out he ran into Nate coming down the stairs. "Nate, what are you doing here?" Chuck said, almost angrily.

"I'm sorry," was all Nate said as he rushed into the elevator.

Chuck practically ran up the stairs and into Blair's room. Freezing when he saw her curled up on the ground crying. He quickly ran over and hugged her close to him, wiping away her tears.

********

"Eleanor Waldorf is gearing up to take her company public, and I've been courting her for months to let me handle the deal," the Captain stated after his and Nate's run.

"Then you should get it," Nate stated, confused as to why his dad was saying this.

"I will get it. If you could just help me out a little bit," he continued.

Nate stared skeptically at his father. "Blair and I aren't together anymore, you know that. She's dating Chuck."

"Yeah, but your family's depending on you. I'm just asking you to patch things up, not to get back together with her." He then clapped Nate on the shoulder before walking off like that was that.

********

Nate had finally convinced Blair to come out with him and they now sat across from each other at a sushi place. She had not said more then two sentences to him and was stabbing at her fish.

"Look Blair. I really hurt you," he started as she stared back at him, waiting for what he was about to say. "And I know that, and I want to fix it."

"Really? And how are you gonna do that?" she asked skeptically.

"I'm gonna put everything in the past. I'm not going to see Serena again or even talk to her. It'll be like she doesn't exist."

Right then Chuck walked over and pulled up a chair. Nate was barely even surprised, of course he was probably listening to the whole conversation. "We think that's a good idea," Chuck drawled out, giving Blair a supportive smile that she returned.

"What are you two doing?" Nate asked, looking between the two, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Nothing. Let's not mention this whole thing again," Blair stated.

"But you were really upset about this, should we talk about it?" Nate said, trying to see reason.

"I'm fine. I over reacted, if you say it's in the past it's in the past. I'm sure you have no feelings for her anymore. I just feel bad for Serena she really missed you," Blair said with a fake smile on her face, Chuck rolled his eyes at her display.

"You gonna eat that?" Chuck broke in as he grabbed a piece of fish from Blair's plate. "Limo comes at 8 by the way, Nathaniel."

Blair looked at her watch and started to stand up. "Perfect. Come on, let's go." She pulled Chuck out of the restaurant, leaving a bewildered Nate.

*********

By the time they'd gotten to the party Blair was feeling much better. The whole ride over had been one big party in itself and Chuck was taking special care to make sure that she wasn't upset.

After a few minutes of sitting alone at the bar waiting for Blair to finish saying her hello's to what seemed like everybody in the room, she finally came up and stood next to him.

They stood there for a while flirting until he spotted a blonde girl across the room that he hadn't seen before. "Who's that?"

"Ugh, Little Jenny Humphrey. She's a freshman," Blair said with disgust in her voice.

Chuck laughed under his breath. "Sounds fun. Want to play?" Chuck stared at Blair.

She made a disgusted face as she said, "Ew, no! She's a freshman from Brooklyn and isn't even worth the time. Besides are you really that bored already?" She asked softly as she reached up to play with his scarf.

"I think someone's jealous," he laughed his eyes sparkling at her annoyed expression.

"I am not."

"Well then you're up for the game. Just give me ten minutes and I've already told you, you have nothing to worry about. I'd never cheat on you." He gave her a long kiss before he walked towards the freshman girl. He was aware of Blair watching him as he led the naïve girl upstairs.

********

Serena and her good for nothing date had just crashed her party. She wasn't even invited, who does she think she is. Blair thought as she stood seething on the sidewalk, watching the car drive away. She felt Chuck behind her as she spat out, "She better not show her face again."

"I'm actually hoping she will," Chuck sneered from behind her. She turned with an almost confused expression on her face. Their stares meeting it took her a moment to notice the bruise that was slowly forming on his face.

She half laughed as she reached up to touch his nose, he flinched at the contact. "Oh my god! Did someone punch you?"

Chuck mumbled some curse words as he headed back inside closely followed by Blair, who was torn between getting pissed at whoever punched Chuck, and laughing at him. All she knew for sure was that she'd get Serena back for what she'd done, somehow.
