"Just drop it Serena! We've been ringing that stupid bell for ten minutes...obviously there's no one there."
"Sorry Blair, but I'm not ready to give up so easily."
"You know what? We should all just go back to the limo and sleep there, at least it's safe."
"Excuse me…I don't mean to interrupt your discussion Mrs. Van der Woodsen…"
"That's okay Arthur…do you want to say something."
"Yes…I think Mrs. Waldorf is right…we should just go back to the car."
"See? Okay, let's go back."
Blair started to run towards the limo, it seemed like the safest place and the hotel was starting to look a little creepy for her. Just when she was about to reach it, the limo started to make a very loud noise and she felt someone push her to the ground.
"Excuse me Bass, what do you think you're…"she couldn't even finish that sentence, since the limo suddenly exploded right in front of her eyes.
"What the…"
"Still mad at me Waldorf?"
"But…how…I…"
"You were so eager to get to the car that you didn't even realize the amount of smoke that was getting out of it."
"Well, no I…thank you Chuck."
"Never mind…are you hurt or something? I didn't mean to push you so hard, but I just panicked when I thought…"
"I'm not hurt, it's okay. You saved me."
He gave her a smirk and kissed her.
"Guess I am your white knight after all…"
"Guess you are…"
"B!" Serena came running to her friend "Are you okay? My God Blair, you could've…"
"Don't say it!" Chuck said, giving her a murdering look "There's no need to say it...she is fine now and that's all that matters."
"Are you guys okay? I was doing some dinner and heard this explosion…"
They all turned to the little man talking. He wasn't the prettiest thing to look at, that's for sure: Dark hair with way too much hairspray on it, chubby…but the thing that was really interesting was his eyes…they reminded them of a snake, ready to attack. Or maybe it was just really dark and they were all too scared because of the explosion.
"Yes, we're okay…and you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me. My name is Mike Bringles and I'm the owner of that motel over there."
Mike Bringles…that was a friendly name. Certainly the guy couldn't be so bad, they thought.
"Oh, Mr. Bringles…"Blair started
"Call me Mike, please. Actually, a pretty lady such as you can call me anything she wants."
Chuck automatically got the defense mode on, standing in front of Blair and staring darkly at the man.
"Mike, what my girlfriend was going to ask is if you have any openings at your motel. We need a place to stay."
"Of course! The only people there are an adorable couple and my kids. I'm sure you'll all get along just fine."
"You have children?"
"No…they're not mine actually, they were my sister's."
"She's in the motel too?" This guy was very intriguing to Chuck…he certainly didn't seem trustable.
"No…she…well, let's get inside, we'll have more time to chat later!"
A/N: Sorry it's short; the next one will be bigger. Reviews?
