A/N: Wooo I managed to update this quite quickly, I'm surprised. Thank you so much for your reviews everyone! They mean so much to me :) Anyway, I hope this chapter is okay and it's sort of in character, it was kinda hard to write. Sorry it's kinda short too, but I thought it would be best to leave it where I've left it. I will update soon. :D

3x02 – The Greatest Denier

It turns out Blair didn't need as much time as Chuck thought. By the time Blair had reached her home, she had thoroughly gone over the situation and realised that Chuck hadn't actually done anything with the blonde; it wasn't like last time when he'd slept with the interior designer instead of being on a plane to Tuscany. He loved Blair. She knew he did. He told her quite often, when he was proud of her or when they made love. Blair certainly loved him, too. She'd missed him more than she thought she would when she was in France, and now she was back, she wasn't going to let a little situation with a tacky blonde get in the way. They were Blair and Chuck, after all.

However, she wasn't going to let him think he'd won by going back to his suite straight away. She'd make him suffer, make him pay for it. Even though she wasn't that angry at him anymore, she wasn't going to run back to him like a needy little girl.

Blair glanced at her clock. It said 9:45pm. It was definitely too early for Blair to go to sleep, but it was a little late to go out, too. Usually, if she was bored at this time – and she had no Chuck to entertain her - she would head over to the van der Woodsen residence, to have a late night chat with Serena. However, Serena wasn't there. Blair didn't know where Serena was. She could be in Fiji, like she said she would be, but you never knew with Carter Baizen. Blair had tried to call Serena a few times over the summer; even though she had Chuck she still needed her best friend to talk to. But Serena had never answered the phone, so Blair left the same voicemail message every time.

"Hey S, it's me, B. Please just call me back, I'm worried about you, where are you?... Please"

But Serena never called back. Never. Now, Blair debated whether she should call Serena, she wanted to tell her about her trip to Milan, and about what had happened with Chuck, but she knew that she'd just end up leaving that voicemail again.

Defeated, Blair decided she should at least try and get some sleep. After all, she had been flying today.

Chuck wasn't surprised when it got to morning and Blair hadn't returned to his suite. He thought she was still angry at him, even though she wasn't. Chuck didn't really know how to apologise, he'd tried before to apologise with a bouquet of Blair's favourite flowers, but all that got him was his peonies thrown back in his face and the elevator doors closing in on him. Blair meant more than a few flowers, but Chuck didn't quite know how to get the words out.

He decided to visit the Archibald residence for some advice.

Nate Archibald returned from his backpacking trip with Vanessa a fortnight earlier than planned. He'd thought that he was making a good decision by going with her as a friend, but when she'd tried to seduce him in a little hut in Germany he'd seen the error of his ways. He'd lead her on by accident, so he decided to leave and spend the rest of the summer interning in the mayor's office, as he had originally planned to do.

When Chuck pulled up outside Nate's house, he was a little confused to find Nate already outside, holding a folded piece of card. As Chuck approached him, he noticed that the card had the family logo printed on it, and Chuck was shocked. He knew Nate had returned a while ago, but he didn't know he was still on really good terms with his family, that they had all completely forgiven him for his disruptive speech at his cousin's wedding rehearsal.

"Hey man" Chuck said casually has he approached Nate. He was laughing inside at Nate's new hairstyle, the man-bangs were gone and Nate almost looked old.

"Chuck, hey" Nate replied, and though he turned to face Chuck, he still kept his eyes glued to the piece of card in his hands.

That's when Chuck noticed it. It was a thing of beauty, and for once it wasn't a girl. It was a stunning red that almost sparkled in the New York sunshine, and with the top down it looked classy and expensive. Chuck's mouth was almost watering as he stared at the beautiful car. How he wished he could drive.

"Um... nice Ferrari, Nate" Chuck stuttered, still shocked as to why Nate had one.

"Yeah it's um... from Grandfather. The note says every member of the family gets a car when they go to college" Nate mumbled.

"I never thought I'd say this man, but I kinda wish I was a member of your dysfunctional family right about now" Chuck joked, and Nate smiled.

"What can I do for you Chuck?" Nate asked, folding his arms and smiling.

Chuck paused. He hadn't asked Nate for advice on Blair ever - especially not since they'd gotten together over the summer. Blair and Nate had parted on good terms, their relationship being something they both 'had to get out of their system', but Chuck still didn't feel comfortable talking about Blair with Nate. After all, Chuck had let Nate have Blair, but still gone after her himself.

"It's about Blair" Chuck mumbled, looking down at the ground. He expected Nate to be awkward and not want to talk about her, but instead, he laughed.

"What did you do this time?" Nate chuckled.

"She found a girl in my suite..." Chuck said slowly. Nate was angered by this. He knew how much Blair loved Chuck, and he couldn't understand why Chuck would hurt Blair like this.

"You slept with someone else?!" Nate fumed. Chuck held his hands out in protest.

"No! Are you kidding me? I wouldn't do that to Blair. I didn't know what I was doing, I just invited her up!" Chuck was rambling.

"You expect Blair to believe that?" Nate laughed. No matter how much Blair trusted Chuck, he was still Chuck Bass, and had a bad reputation with women.

"No, I don't. I need to find a way to make her believe that she's the only one I want to sleep with. Hell, I don't think I could sleep with anyone else even if I wanted to!" Chuck nearly smirked.

"Chuck I... don't know how to help you. She probably feels a little unwanted right now." Nate said, turning to walk away. "I've gotta run now, I'm meeting Dan for some soccer"

Chuck was left stood on the sidewalk alone. However, Nate's words had actually given Chuck the answer. Nate said that Chuck had made Blair feel unwanted, so now he had to make her feel wanted.

He stepped back into his limo, and told the driver to go to the Waldorf penthouse.

Blair was sat in her bedroom going through the living arrangements catalogue for NYU in the fall. Her mother had said she didn't want Blair living at home while she went to school; it was too far for Blair to travel every day. So, unfortunately for Blair, she had to live in a dorm. She was hoping her roommate would be quiet, tidy and not poor, but she knew that she'd hate the living situation no matter what. She sort of wish she could live with Chuck at the palace – she would be spending a lot of nights there – but it was a little early in their relationship for something like that.

Blair was about to call Chuck and ask him to come over to talk, but as she reached for her phone, Chuck appeared in the doorway of her room as if by magic.

"Dorota let me in" He mumbled, walking over to Blair. He assumed she was still mad at him so he was treading carefully.

"I'm not mad at you anymore, Chuck" Blair sighed, and abandoned the catalogue as she stood up to meet Chuck.

"You're not? Wow." Chuck looked relieved and he was about to lean in to kiss her, but she stopped him.

"That doesn't mean you get to kiss me yet" Blair said, an evil look gleaming in her eye. Chuck scowled, and then turned to sit on her bed. Blair began pacing her room.

"I can't just let this go." Blair stated, turning her head to look at Chuck. "But I don't want it to get in the way of us. We're Blair and Chuck; we've been through far worse than this." Blair laughed bitterly, memories of the past 2 years running through her mind.

Chuck just nodded his head. He too was remembering all the hard times he had been through with Blair over the past 2 years, and it still hurt to think about them.

"Just promise me it won't happen again" Blair smiled, hopefully. Chuck stood up and walked over to her, though he didn't touch her yet.

"I Promise" He said, and Blair kissed him. It'd been over a week since they'd kissed and she hadn't realised how much she'd missed his lips until now.

When they pulled back, Chuck was smirking.

"I knew you'd never be able to resist me" He stated, and Blair was about to reply with a witty remark, but her phone started to ring from where it sat on her desk. She sighed, then walked over to it and answered it, while Chuck sat back down on the bed.

"Hello?" Blair asked into the phone.

"Blair Waldorf?" The woman on the line asked. She sounded bored.

"Yes, speaking" Blair said curiously. Who would be calling her that didn't know who she was?

"I'm from NYU's administration offices. Sorry for bothering you on a Saturday, I just wanted to inform you of your roommate this fall" the woman said.

"Oh. Who is it?" Blair asked, idly. She didn't really care. She'd hate the girl anyway.

"Georgina Sparks" The woman said happily.

Blair paused. No. No way. Not Georgina Sparks. The not-so-reformed bitch from hell? There had to be a mistake. There was no way Blair was rooming with Georgina. She hated her. She'd driven Serena away from Blair for a whole year, and then tried to blackmail her a year later. She'd taken her boyfriend's virginity, and sworn revenge on Blair.

"I... I'm going to have to call you back." Blair shut the phone and stared, wide eyed at the space in front of her. Chuck noticed Blair's strange behaviour and got up from the bed, then walked over to her.

"What is it?" He asked, his voice showing concern.

"George... Georgina" She stuttered.

"No, it's Chuck actually, but good guess" He smirked.

Blair just shook her head. Chuck new there was something wrong then, when she didn't reply with something snarky. He put his hand on her arm, being gentle for once in his life, and she turned to him.

"My roommate is Georgina Sparks"

Up Next: Georgina plots to break Chair but they plot to break Georgina, Nate gets a girlfriend, Serena remains MIA.
