Dorota came with breakfast at ten. It was Saturday and on Saturdays she slept longer.
''Miss Blair, wake up! It's ten…''
She woke up with a smile. She hardly had any sleep but she was high on the conversation she had with Chuck and butterflies that got crazy last night.
''You look happy?''
''I am…''
''Miss Blair?''
''I spoke to him last night.''
She was surprised when she saw Dorota jumping from happiness.
''What did he say? Is he coming?''
''Yes, in more than month…. But he invited me to visit him in Rio…''
''Are you going?''
''Maybe…''
''What did he say?''
Blair took a deep breath and started telling Dorota all about last night.
''Hello, Waldorf…''
''Bass…''
''It's nice to hear from you again…''
''Same to you…''
''I'm waiting Waldorf…''
''For what?''
''What you promised. I want to hear it…''
''When you come…''
''No, now Waldorf…''
''You are stubborn ass…''
''That is correct, but not what I wanted to hear.''
''Fine… I love you Chuck Bass…Are you happy now?''
''No, I will be happy when you are in my arms saying those words over and over again…''
She wanted to say them in his arms too. At that moment she believed those arms are her only safe place.
''How are you…but now for real Blair…''
''I don't know. I live my work so I wouldn't have to think about my failed personal life. I got him out of our bedroom tonight…''
''Oh, I forgot… Happy anniversary…''
''Ha-ha… Funny Bass.''
''Sorry, I just had to…''
''I know… I'm sorry…''
''What for?''
''Not saying yes…''
''You will…''
''I will, but I need to be out of this marriage now…''
''You will be… Just give me some time…''
''I really miss you…''
''Me too… You have no idea…''
''I do Blair… Trust me I do…''
''I would love to see you.''
''Me to..''
''We could meet somewhere…''
''We could… I bought an island…It's small and pretty hidden…''
''There?''
''I could send my plane for you…''
''I would love it…''
''In ten days you will be there… and we will see each other…''
''I can't wait….''
''Blair, I could help you get divorced pretty soon…''
''I leave it up to you… Work your magic Bass…''
''You will be free woman pretty soon…''
''I can't wait…''
''Be patient and I will reword you kitten….''
''You are so bad…''
''You have no idea what are you in for…''
''I can guess…''
''I was a bad boy…''
''Stop it!''
''Get some sleep kitten…. See you soon…''
''Bye…''
''Miss Blair, Mister Chuck was always so bad but that's why you had so much….fun?''
''You can say sex Dorota, we are all of age…''
''O.K. You always had so much sex because you are the same….''
''What? We are not?''
Dorota gave her a look.
''O.K. We are… Happy now?''
''Not yet… I will be happy when you marry mister Chuck…''
''You are worse than him… You know that?''
''I know all Miss Blair…''
''You are lucky I love you…''
''I love you too Miss Blair… What do you want to do today?''
''We are going shoping….''
''Why?''
''For the date with Basstard…''
''Oh, why do we shop? You and me know you will not need anything but some food during first few months…''
Blair got out of bed and pinched Dorota's cheeks.
''Dorota…. You will not spoil my mood! And he does like me dressed in satin, silk and lace!''
''And he loves to rip that all. I remember finding pieces of what used to be your undergarments…''
''It's sexy when he does that…''
''Your brain is not working…or it's working only in one mode…''
''Dorota, get me my red Dior set, black pumps and new bag… Let's have fun.''
She got dressed pretty quickly. Dorota combed her hair and she put on some make up. She was glowing enough to need very little make up that day. She let her hair down first time after a very long time and she took off her wedding ring. She felt liberated after that. Instead of Nate's rings she put on her favorite ruby ring she got from her father before he left. She hasn't worn it for years.
They got down and in the living room they saw her mother, Anne, Captain, Nate, Serena and Lilly.
''Hi honey.''
Nate came and kissed her. She just arched her eyebrow at him and he moved away like kicked puppy.
''What brings you all here?''
''Nate invited us to have lunch with you….''
''Oh, he didn't inform me…''
''I did tell you last night…Before we went to bed….''
''No, you didn't. You must have me confused with someone else…''
And there was an awkward silence. Eleanor looked at her with warning.
''What are you talking about Blair?''
''Oh, mother, Blair was just tired last night so she doesn't remember…''
''Actually I was awake till six this morning… I had so much fun last night… And Nate has no idea about what I did last night or any night for that matter because he and I are not in the same bad at the same time for years now. Now, excuse me, Dorota and I have some things to do.''
''Blair, are you saying my son and you do not share a bed?''
''Oh, Anne… we are not different than any UES couple… We share it but I'm usually out of the bed when he comes back from where ever he was. He has a perfect wife to parade and mistress whose apartment I'm paying too…''
Serena got up to go to the bathroom.
''Excuse me…''
'' Forget about it… I always do… See you all later…''
And with that she left the apartment and people in it to discuss whatever they found suiting at the moment.
''Miss Blair, that was amazing. I got scared…''
''So did I… But ,let's not think about that….''
She and Dorota had fun that day. They bought a lot of things and she charged them from her husband's card. She received message from Chuck to appear at some places. She did what he told her and some paparazzi took pictures of her without her wedding ring. That was the start. These photos appeared on line few minutes after they were taken. Gossip Girl didn't disappoint.
''Well , well Upper East Side… Is that Queen B without her ring? Was she doing some ''washing and cleaning'' so she didn't want diamond to be ruined or is the marriage in ruins? Our Prince Nathaniel still sports his ring but also rocks lipstick stains different color than his Queen has… What is the Queen's next move? Will we finally hear that ''Off with her head!'' that has been ten years in waiting… You know I love you!
xoxo Gossip Girl''
She went for massage and spa treatment she wanted for a long time. She even got one for Dorota. She was finally getting back on track with her life. She had made planes for next few days and how would she ask for the time off. Her boss owed it to her. Her massage was over and at that moment she checked her phone. She had a lot of missed calls from her mother, Nate, Serena, Anne, William… All of them wanted a word… She even found some messages from tabloids asking for her statement. She sent few ''no comment'' messages and continued to read Serena's and Nate's panicked messages. At that moment her phone rang.
''Right on time Bass..''
''Woldorf… I saw the blast… You must be devastated….''
''Actually, I'm with Dorota at spa…''
''Mmmmm….. Oily, naked and wet… Just as I love you…''
''You know me too well Bass…''
''Kitten, the ball is rolling…''
''Let the games beguine.''
