Chuck's POV
I stepped into Blair's residence and the immediate stench of alcohol and teenage desperation filled my senses. I walk across the lobby and into the main party room. I spot Serena, Nate, Dan and Vanessa, all sitting at the bar. I start to walk over to the other side of the room and when I approach the four of them, I hear those dreaded words.
"Blair's upset"
"What's the matter?" I ask them worriedly.
"Oh, hey Chuck, I was just telling them how Blair locked herself in her room, hey, maybe you could talk to her, she won't listen to us" Serena states.
"As if she would listen to Chuck" Dan laughs. I roll my eyes at him. Jerk!
"I'll try" I say walking towards Blair's bedroom.
I knock on the door and hear soft sniffles. I frown and open the door.
"B, you okay?" I ask slowly closing the door behind me.
"Not really" she replies sitting on the end of the bed.
"What's the matter?" I ask her moving to sit next to her on the bed.
"Well I see everyone being coupley and I can't help but think that I'm not going to have that. On top of that I'm alone on my birthday, so I have no one to kiss for my wish" She replies resting her head on my shoulder.
"You're not alone, B, you have us" I say back.
"I know, but who can I kiss for my birthday wish?" she asks me.
"You can kiss me" I say quietly. I feel Blair lift her head up off my shoulder and look at me.
"What?" she asks quietly. I sighed before answering.
"I love you Blair" I say softly looking into her beautiful eyes.
"No, don't play with me like that" she replies resting her head back on my shoulder.
"I'm serious Blair, I've loved you since seventh grade, but I could never have you, because you were dating Nate" I explain.
"I never knew you felt that way" she states looking at me again.
"Yeah, well, I kept it pretty hidden behind all the alcohol, drugs and one night stands" I say.
I felt Blair take hold of my face and turn my head to face her.
"I love you too Chuck, although only since eighth grade." She giggles before attaching her lips to mine.
The kiss started off slow and sweet but eventually became more heated. I felt Blair start to push me back onto the bed and I unwillingly stopped her.
"Blair, stop" I say regrettably.
"What's wrong?" she asks worriedly.
"Nothing, I just don't want to rush into things. I want to prove to you that I really love you" I say whole heartedly.
"Okay, just promise me one thing?" she says looking down at our intertwined hands. I nodded looking straight at her.
"Promise me, you'll give up other women for me?" she asks with a pleading look. I smile at her and nod slightly.
"In a heartbeat" I reply and she kisses me tenderly again.
"We should probably go out there before they come looking for us, but I think that we should keep this as our little secret, wouldn't want Gossip Girl to find out" I say smirking.
"I totally agree" she says before moving off my lap, pecking my lips in the process. We both straighten out our clothes before we leave her bedroom and walk back downstairs. When we reach the others, we look at each other with a look that says 'Acting time'.
"Blair are you alright?" Serena asks hugging her best friend.
"Yeah, I just had a breakdown, it's all good now" Blair replies sneaking a glance at me. This is going to be fun.
