"So, Tuscany with Chuck?" Serena asked her best friend. "Sounds romantic...minus the Chuck part..." She giggled, wrinkling her nose at the picture of Blair with her new-ugh-stepbrother.
Blair shrugged, a happy smile on her face. "He invited me. In his father's private plane. And I was headed to France, so..." Serena hadn't seen her so giddy since...just after her seventeenth birthday. Oh God, that was all Chuck.
Serena still raised an eyebrow, finding it difficult to get the thought into her little blonde head that Chuck would be romantic. "So it's worth a week with Chuck to avoid airport security?"
Blair, still grinning, pulled out a lacy garter from her trunk and waved it in front of Serena's face. "Oh, don't worry. I'm gonna frisk him."
Serena recoiled. "Oh! B, gross!" She was unable to stop the image of the time she had seen them making out at her birthday party from replaying itself over and over. He's practically related to me.
"What can I say? He brings out the worst in me. And weirdly, I think I bring out the best in him. He's been a perfect gentleman this whole week." Blair had been telling Serena all about the romantic dates they had gone on, and Gossip Girl was feverishly reporting all the lavish gifts Chuck had been showering her with.
Still, Chuck Bass was a pig, and skepticism was key. "Is that why you're driving yourself to the airport?"
Blair rolled her eyes, catching the sarcasm but choosing to overlook it. "He wanted to see his Dad before he left. Besides, we're taking the helicopter to Teterboro. I have to sit in the jump seat so that I can tell the pilot if I have any thoughts on his flying."
Always the control freak, her best friend. "Oh B, what's it gonna take to get you to relax?"
Blair flashed the lingerie once again, a teasing smile on her face. " Chuuuuuuuuck..." she drawled.
Serena covered her eyes, a barely-masked grin on her face. "Oh! God! My ears are bleeding! Make it stop!"
Because as much as she hated to admit it, Chuck and Blair really were made for each other.
Come to think of it, she had always had a hunch...
