Two roads meet
Chapter 2
Chuck continued to talk to Blair every time she was on the train with him. He quickly found out that Blair was a 20 year old, she was studying at Columbia and her mother is Eleanor Waldorf the famous designer, which explained Blair´s impeccable fashion taste. The more Chuck found out about her the more he wanted to know- she was very interesting to listen to.
Chuck decided to ask her out; he thought that it had been enough time from the initial conversation without it seeming odd. Blair wore very classy clothes so he knew she would probably like a sophisticated restaurant and Chuck knew just the place.
On the way to the subway Chuck ran down two steps at a time, he was going to ask Blair out today and although he felt nervous, he also felt like he was walking on sunshine. He had this strange feeling every time he was near to Blair.
She was sitting in her usual seat and looked up as Chuck walked in. Blair smiled at him, she looked was absolutely breath taking to look at. Chuck could feel his throat starting to clamp down, his stomach was fluttering rapidly and sweat was washing over him.
"Hello, Bass," Blair said in a light and cheery tone. Blair´s full cherry lips looked so kissable. I wonder how they would feel, Chuck thought.
Chuck smirked at her and replied "Waldorf what a pleasure it is to see you here." Chuck saw how Blair´s doe like eyes twinkled in response to what he had just said.
"Let me guess, you are going to work," Blair giggled.
"How did you know?" Chuck said in a teasing tone. Blair just laughs and says "I think I know you."
That single sentence made Chuck feel even more lightheaded and very high.
"Blair, are you free tonight…I…was wondering if you would like to go out…with me?" Chuck thought he sounded like a teenager again- stuttering uncontrollably.
Blair hesitated for a couple of seconds but then she responded with a grin" I don't think I have any plans, so yes I would love to go out with you." Chuck felt like a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.
That night Chuck was trying to find a nice suit to wear, it was however causing quite a challenge; because although he had way many suits nothing seemed special enough.
When he finally decided on a classic black suit, he left to get Blair. The Waldorf apartment was a big building on 5th with a great view overlooking New York.
He rode in the elevator up, taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself down. The old hallway was the first thing he saw. Blair was standing there- she even more amazing than he could have dreamed. She was wearing a white dress with purple accents. Her dress was cut in a quite low and went down to the floor, which made her look as sexy as hell without seeming like a slut.
Her hair was down in curly waves. Chuck felt his heart make a little jump. Chuck was smirking as he realized that they matched- as he was wearing a purple bow tie. Chuck held a single rose out to her.
"What a gentleman to bring me a flower," Blair said as she out the single rose in to the nearest vase.
"Anything for a lovely lady," Chuck said softly to Blair.
"Wow, you are a smooth talker," Blair grinned. Chuck liked her she as she was witty enough to actually see him and not fall for what most would.
Suddenly a loud noise could be heard and a little boy came running down the stairs.
"Taylor, you are supposed to be in bed," Blair scolded as she walked over to him. Taylor had dark and brown eyes. He resembled Blair a lot. Oh shit did Blair have a son? Chuck thought in a very worried way.
Chuck stared questioningly at the boy. Blair could see his confusion and said "Taylor, want you say hi to Chuck here?" Taylor faced Blair and nodded.
"Hi, I'm Taylor are you dating my sister?" Taylor asked in a curious tone.
That one word- sister- made Chuck a great deal calmer.
"Oh, yeah you could say that," Chuck trying to sound casual.
Blair said "As I'm sure you've guessed- Taylor here is my baby brother."
"No, I am not a baby," Taylor scowled in protest. Chuck smirked at the boy and said "No, he is a big boy." Taylor smiled at Chuck.
Taylor walked back up to bed after saying goodnight to Chuck and Blair.
Chuck helped Blair into the limo, tonight was going to be the perfect evening and that meant they had to ride with style.
"So, you own a limo very impressive," Blair said as she looked it over.
"Technically the limo is my father´s, "Chuck mumbled causing Blair to giggle at his sudden shyness.
"I was wondering if you were Bart Bass´s son." Blair confessed as she stared at him.
Chuck didn't say anything, he wanted her to like him because he was Chuck not Bart´s son. Every girl wanted to bag a Bass. They all wanted money and have the name. Blair looked at him and understands why he was so quiet.
Blair seemed to take Chuck silence as a yes.
"I know how it feels like to be treated like an object, my mother thinks I'm her personal dressing up doll," Blair said very quietly. Chuck nodded feeling even more connected to Blair- he wasn't the only one treated like shit by their parent. His father pushed him to work at Bass industry in order to make a name out of himself.
They arrived at the restaurant, which beautifully decorated and had a wonderful atmosphere. Chuck helped her in to her seat and then places his hand on top of hers as they waited for a waiter. Chuck ordered their dinner- assuring Blair that she would love it.
"What major are you taking?" Chuck asked as he poured wine for Blair.
"I thought about taking English as a major," Blair said as she smiled at him. No wonder she would pick English as a major considering all the books she reads.
"Good choice," Chuck replied as he cuts his meat up.
"So, how is your family?" Blair asked as she cuts open her potato.
"I only have my father to deal with and I live in the Plaza hotel," Chuck said in a rushed tone.
"Oh- I really need to move out but I can´t leave Taylor," Blair shared looking worried. Blair had a sweet side to her, she wasn't pretending like all the other girls that tried to date him- she was being honest.
All of a sudden Blair turned very pale and looked extremely sick. Chuck rushed over to her side. Her lips had turned blue and Chuck tries to help hold her upright.
"Blair, Blair," Chuck called out desperately as she was on the verge of unconsciousness. Chuck was worried about what had happened that had caused her to become so rapidly ill.
After calling an ambulance turned, Chuck opened Blair's phone to call her mother – who rushed to the hospital immediately.
"Mrs. Waldorf," The doctor said. Blair´s mother looked at Chuck and said "We need to talk."
