First I just want to thank you all for reviewing, favouriting, story alerting. You have no idea how much it means to me.

Okay so chapter two. Will they, won't they? :P

Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl or any of the quotes I may use. If I did...well you all know, Chuck and Blair would be living happily ever after and Dan would be getting a haircut somewhere in Brooklyn.

Better For You

Chapter Two: Irrevocably

"Two people that are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back."

He doubted that was even half true anymore. They'd almost made it back, they'd almost been them again and then that horrible twist of fate had to condemn them. Chuck swilled his scotch around his glass as he sat in his very quiet apartment. He was dressed in a classic black tuxedo ready to head to whatever party it was that night only, for what could be the first time, it was the last place he wanted to be. He wanted to simply stay in, get drunk, smoke whatever he could find in Nate's room and sleep until midday. Proof that Chuck Bass was indeed a broken man.

"Okay, ready to go," Nate spoke as he entered the room, pulling at his shirt sleeve. "Earth to Chuck?" Chuck's eyes finally turned to his best friend.

"Right, let's go then." Chuck quickly gulped down the last of his drink as he stood. The entire journey to the party was in complete silence; truth was that Nate had no idea how to talk to the man currently staring out of the window seemingly mesmerized by the city they had grown up in. The journey was pretty quick and soon they were arriving at the Plaza Hotel.

"What's this in aid of again?" Nate's question finally broke the silence as they exited the black stretch limo.

"Some charity or other," Chuck shrugged; he never really knew what he was RSVP-ing to anymore. Blair was the one that usually did that for him, or perhaps Serena. "It's just another excuse to sign another big cheque and get drunk."

The ballroom was completely full of men and women dressed in their best. Both Chuck and Nate shook hands and said the occasional hello to those people they knew as they passed. They walked straight to the bar where Serena was always seated. "You look...wow." Nate grinned at her as he kissed her cheek in greeting. She laughed before nodding her 'hello' to Chuck.

Chuck felt the air suddenly get thick. Oxygen didn't seem to exist anymore as he turned already knowing exactly what it was he would see. Blair. She looked...well words could not do her beauty justice at that precise moment. He was sure she'd dressed to emulate the great women of old Hollywood; she looked as if she'd just walked off of the set of an Audrey Hepburn movie. He froze when her eyes met his.

"Two people that are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back."

No one else existed in that split second; not Serena who was laughing next to him, Nate who was trying to get his attention or even Dan, whose hand, in reality, was linked to Blair's own. He couldn't breathe; he could have died right there and then happily because he was lucky enough to see her beauty one last time. "Blair," he whispered the word to no one, the need to say it just caused it to spill from his lips.

"Blair!" Serena falling into him finally caused his daze to end. "I'm so happy to see you!" Serena, clearly on her way to being extremely drunk wrapped her arms around her best friend.

"Serena? Are you drunk?" Blair questioned as she tried to make Serena stand up straight and not lean against her. Serena's finger pushed against her lips in a keep it a secret kind of way. "Nate, can you?" Blair indicated to taking Serena away from her as her friend fell into her side once more. With Serena finally out of the way Chuck turned his attention back to the brunette beauty in front of him. Their eyes met again and Chuck had a feeling that she longed for the moment just like he did. But that couldn't be could it? She was the one that told him it was over. She was the one that now had Dan Humphrey. But why else would her eyes continue to bore into his?

"Blair? Care to dance?" Chuck's eyes narrowed suddenly as Humphrey wrapped his arm around Blair's shoulder to guide her to the dance floor. He hated the fact she just seemed to do as she told; she just allowed him to push her elsewhere. But not without one last glance in Chuck's direction.

"Two people that are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back."

"Because it made me realize I wanted to be with you."

Did she? Did she still want to be with him after everything? Maybe...Did she still love him? Most definitely. Why was it all so confusing?

"I'm going to bed, you coming?" Blair shook her head. "Okay," she knew Dan was upset with her, as soon as she had seen Chuck her mind had led her elsewhere and Dan had tried to no avail to get her attention. "Goodnight." She smiled up at him as he kissed her head and caressed her cheek delicately with his hand. Blair cared for him. She would not allow anyone to tell her otherwise because it was indeed true. But caring for a person and loving a person were at opposite sides of the spectrum. Would she ever feel that way for Dan?

Not when a man known as Chuck Bass existed.

"Because it made me realize I wanted to be with you."

Blair sat in silence, only moving to turn her head in the direction of Dan's bedroom when she heard his light shut off. She absentmindedly played with the ruby red ring on her finger as she continued staring at nothing. Her mind was spinning out of control. Chuck was ruling her mind; every thought was consumed with him. How did this happen? She had made her decision. She was finally free of Louis and free to be with Dan completely and yet, as soon as she had made her choice she knew it was the wrong one. Why was it all so confusing? Why did Chuck have to be...Chuck?

As soon as she saw him at the party she wanted to be near him, she wanted to be able to smell his scent every time she turned his way, she wanted to feel his body heat radiate off of him but most of all, out of all else, she wanted his arms to be around her instead of Dan's. Dan had tried his best to get her as far away from Chuck Bass as he possibly could and for a while it worked. Until a cold shiver suddenly engulfed her small body. Something was wrong. Something didn't sit right. Chuck.

She'd spun on her heel as soon as the chills set in; it was that damned connection between them again, forewarning her of something she would not enjoy. And boy didn't she.

Her eyes found him within a second. He was no longer alone; instead he was with someone she didn't know. Someone a lot taller than herself, a lot blonder and a lot slimmer. She felt the bile begin to rise in her throat when the girls slim pointer finger trailed itself down the front of his shirt, trying her very best to tantalize him. Chuck's expression made it known that it definitely was. In one blink of an eye the girls tongue was down his throat and his down hers. Blair wanted to die. She immediately turned from them and begged Dan to take her home stating she was tired and bored. Dan knew better. She hadn't spoken the entire drive back to Dan's and she wasn't about to open her mouth to speak because even she didn't know what would come out.

She continued to spin the ring on her finger as her thoughts danced back and forth. Two things stood out in the spinning tornado of her mind: did he take her home with him? Had she made the right choice?

She knew the answer to one of those questions; it was obvious.

Finally Blair heaved herself off of the fading fabric sofa and quietly walked into the bedroom. She smiled seeing Dan sleep peacefully.

"Because it made me realize I wanted to be with you."

She continued to sit there with her chin resting delicately on her bent knees. Things could have been so different, if they were, she definitely would not be sitting in Dan Humphrey's bed right now. She'd probably be with Chuck.

If she had forgiven him after bargaining her for his hotel: they'd be together. "I never thought the worst thing you'd ever do would be to me."

If she had forgiven him for that he would have never slept with Jenny Humphrey: and they'd be together. "Blair, I thought you didn't love me anymore. I didn't care if I lived or died. Jenny Humphrey was-"

If she had never allowed him to even let her think about choosing Louis over him: they'd be together. "There's a difference between a great love and the right love. I left the Empire State Building last year after two minutes when you didn't show. Louis waited all night. This is your chance at happiness. You think you shouldn't want it 'cause you've never had it and it scares you. But you deserve your fairytale."

She glanced down to her left again and the smile dropped from her face as a tear slid down her rosy cheeks. She just wanted to know. She just needed to know.

"Because it made me realize I wanted to be with you."

Xoxo

Blair's foot tapped impatiently as she waited for the elevator to arrive at its destination. She was acting like a crazy person but she just had to know.

Finally the bell chimed and the elevator came to a stop. She waited a moment, trying to compose herself. What was she thinking? The doors opened and slowly, she stepped from the small confinement and into the large apartment. She walked gently, trying to be as quiet as she possibly could. What was she thinking?

"Blair?" she turned on her heel and placed her hand to her chest.

"You scared me!" she exclaimed. Chuck's forehead furrowed.

"Says the girl sneaking into my apartment." She felt the blush flood her cheeks; he was always the only one that could do that.

"Sorry." She glanced around. "Is...Nate here?" she asked, her fingers fiddling.

"You came all this way, at midnight, in your pajamas to see Nathanial?" She frowned not wanting to melt at the sound of his husky voice but she failed miserably. Why was Chuck Bass so...Chuck Bass?

She shook her head. Why was it so difficult for her to say it? She should have just come out with it straight away. She was reminded of high school when they both struggled to say those three words.

"The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car. Three words, eight letters, say it, and I'm yours."

"Not quite. Eight letters, three syllables, say them and I'm yours."

"No..." she took a deep breath. "I came to see you actually." Chuck's eyebrow rose curiously.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked taking a seat on his sofa. His hand indicated for her to go on.

"I...uhh...I wanted to see if you brought that mini Jenny Humphrey home with you." She tried to sound nonchalant but knew she failed.

Chuck's chuckle sent a round of shivers through her. "Why would you care if I brought her home with me? We're not together..."

"I know." Blair paced back and forth for a moment before taking a seat opposite him. She needed to tell him; why did it have to be so hard?

"Then why Blair?" She noticed the sudden change in his voice; it was deeper than before. She couldn't tell if he was suddenly angry with her or passion had rapidly raced through his system as it had hers.

"Why didn't you?" She questioned, she saw his face twist and she knew for sure that it was anger this time.

"Why can't you just tell me why you're really here Blair?" He was standing as soon as the question left his lips.

"Why can't you just tell me why you didn't bring her home?" Blair also stood. Their faces were centimeters away from each other. She could smell him clearly; she could feel his body heat and his lips were so tantalizingly close to her own. Kiss me.

"You want to know? You really want to know?" His voice had calmed slightly and she nodded as her eyes glanced to his lips. Kiss me. "Because the thought of being with anyone else sickens me. Because I'm so incredibly and madly in love with you that until that feeling disappears I don't want to hold anyone else in my arms, I don't want to be with anyone. I can't."

Without a seconds thought she leant forward and crashed her lips to his own. Their kiss was feverous and showed the other exactly what they had been missing these few months. They finally parted and she already craved to feel his lips against her own again. Her eyes met his and she could feel the tears build at the back of her own; the way he was looking at her, holding her, loving her was just like a dream that she never wanted to wake up from.

"Why did you really come here Blair?" he questioned, his finger gently caressing her cheek.

"Because..." she took a deep breath. "Because I needed to see you, I knew she wouldn't be here; I could feel it in my bones that you didn't bring her." he nodded, a smile creeping up on his ever so handsome face. Kiss me again. "I miss you...I love you." The large grin that covered his face was so beautiful to her; she knew that it was only her that could make him smile in that way.

"I'm not letting you go this time. Ever." He stated pulling her close.

"Good because I'm not planning on going anywhere." The grin on his perfect face grew even larger.

"I love you." He leant forward and attached their lips. This kiss was calmer than the previous; it showed a passion that only two people who love each other could make.

"I love you too."

"I love you, I love you, that's three, four, I love you."

One more chapter after this. I hope you liked it! Review please! (:
