"Prince Louis, what is it?" Blair asked protectively as she walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He stared at her for a long while before responding.

"It's a long story." Was all he muttered out, leaving Blair very confused.

"We have time. Do you want to come to my place?" He stared into her eyes for a moment.

"No, this needs to be public." Again, Blair was confused. Before she could say anything though, she felt him kiss her. She didn't respond to it, Dan was on her mind the entire time. She would never be able to cheat on him, even if this was a prince she was talking about.

When he finally pulled away from her, she noticed some paparazzi surrounding them and she felt even more guilty. Dan would be seeing this on Gossip Girl way before she had the chance to tell him. She was angry. She wanted to slap him and reached her hand up to do it, but he grabbed her hand very quickly, intertwining their fingers together. He put his mouth close to her ear, pulling her into a hug. Before she could do anything about it, he whispered, "Please, just play along. I'll explain later." She didn't say anything, she just nodded.

She smiled for the cameras, enjoying the spotlight. I mean, she is Blair Waldorf, she deserved it every once in a while. She dragged the Prince up to her loft, pulling him by his hand, still smiling until they got in the elevator. Once they did, she pushed him into the wall. "What the hell was that?"

"I told you it is a long story-"

Before he could finish, she cut him off. "Shorten it!"

"Okay, okay. I guess, in short, I'm- I'm gay." Her eyes widened when he said this and she raised an eyebrow. He took that as a sign to elaborate on his confession. "I need you to pretend to be with me, because my ex-boyfriend is threatening to out me. And if I'm with a beautiful girl like you, nobody will expect a thing."

Blair thought about this. This could definitely work out in her advantage. You know, with the whole 'secret boyfriend' dilemma that she got herself into. One question came to her mind though, and it confused her. "Wait a second. Why did you pick me? Why not some other random beauty down in your country?"

He laughed at her confusion. "Because, well, to put it in the nicest way possible, I knew that you were the only person conniving enough to do it." She thought about this, and didn't know whether to take this as a compliment or an insult. Before she had time to thoroughly think about it, though, the elevator stopped at her apartment and they stepped out, only to be greeted by her mother and Serena.

They were sitting on the couch, discussing god knows what. Eleanor always did prefer Serena over Blair, she always thought so. She didn't worry about it though, everyone felt that way. She learned to get over it. She pulled Prince Louis into their view and Serena let out a gasp before a greeting.

"Mother, Serena. This is Prince Louis. He's my boyfriend." Eleanor gave her a look of shock, and her mouth widened when she used the saltation 'Prince.'

"It's very nice to meet you." She said getting up and shaking his hand, almost nervously.

Serena got up too, very lightly shaking his hand. "It's nice to see you again. This is a surprise." She said with a smile.

"Listen, we would love to catch you up on everything that's been going on," Blair paused to look at Serena's reaction, and it was relief. "But we really need to discuss something. So, if you do not mind, we will be up in my room if you need us." She quickly pulled his hand, again dragging her up to her room.

For about an hour, they talked. He told her about his being gay, and she told him all about her secret relationship. She also added that it was perfect timing, since she needed to find a cover herself anyway. Her phone rang, and when she saw that it was Dan, she was pleased. But then she remembered about the paparazzi and the fact that it could possibly be on Gossip Girl already.

She very nervously answered the phone. "Heyyyy Humphrey."

"Blair, we need to talk." She sighed, she knew this would all get out. She just hoped that after she explained everything to Dan, he wouldn't be mad.

"I'll come to your loft." They quickly said their goodbyes, and she sat next to Louis. "I have to go see him. Is that fine?"

"Yes, yes. Of course. I should be getting back to my hotel anyway."

They walked to her door, and she opened it, but then immediately closed it, turning around to face him. "You don't mind if I-"

"No, I do not. You're doing enough for me, I may as well return the favor." She nodded, thankfully, before going downstairs.

They saw Serena sitting down reading a magazine. "Me and Louis are gonna go back to his place for a little while."

Serena looked up, a little skeptically, which worried Blair a little bit. "Have fun." She nodded and they walked off.

The doorbell to Dan's loft rang and he was suddenly nervous. He had this little speech planned out in his head about how much he liked her. And sure, he wasn't a prince, but he could treat her like a princess. She shook his head, that was corny. He should've thought of something better. He reached to open the door. The small smile that he had on his face, immediately disappeared when he saw that it wasn't Blair at his door, but it was her ex-boyfriend, Chuck.

"Chuck, what are you doing here?" After all that Chuck had done to the people that he cared about, Dan was surprised that he was still around. If he were him he would've at least tried to keep some distance.

"I think the question is, what the hell are you doing with my girlfriend?" Dan's face flushed. He didn't know what to say, and Chuck was obviously angry. How did he know?

He looked for words but came to a blank. Without thinking, he muttered out the stupidest thing he could've said. "She's not your girlfriend." Chuck stared at him for a long while. Dan looked down and noticed that his hand was beginning to ball up in a fist and Dan knew that he had to say something. "I mean, I'm not doing anything with her. I really don't know what you're talking about."

You can see that Chuck is still extremely tense, and is getting angrier by the second. He pulls out his phone and opens up the video of Dan and Blair kissing. He showed it to Dan, and he didn't know what to say. "Where'd you get this?"

Chuck didn't say anything. He let out a small, knowing chuckle. He turned around like he was about to leave, which left Dan even more scared. But he didn't leave. He instead punched Dan right in face, causing him to fall to the floor.

He didn't open his eyes right away, he didn't want to see Chuck's next move. He did however, hear his shoes pounding on the floor, coming closer and closer to him. He was prepared to be put in a coma or something. Usually, he would decline his punches, and punch him instead, but he didn't see this one coming. And he certainly didn't have the strength to hit him now.

Before anything else could happen though, he heard Blair's voice, and silently thanked god for her timing. "Chuck, what the hell?" She asked him, and Dan slightly opened his eyes. He saw her push him.

"I should be asking you that Blair. What's going on with you and Humphrey?"

Blair was now in the same position as Dan was a few minutes ago. She whispered a small. "Please do not tell anybody Chuck."

She let out a loud laugh now and smirked at her. "Why should I do that?"

"Because if you really love me, like you say that you do, you will do this one favor for me." Dan saw Chuck's face lighten up a little bit.

"I don't know if I can do that." Blair placed a hand on his. Dan ignored that pang of jealousy because he knew that she was doing this for them. She gave him a look and he somehow changed his mind. "Fine."

He said nothing else and left, slamming the door behind him. Blair looked at Dan, who was still on the floor. "Oh my god, your eye!"

He nodded, he didn't need to see it the know how bad it was. "Yeah, it's okay." He lied, getting up and walking over to Blair. "We need to talk about this prince thing."

She smiled slightly. By the way that he took her hand, she knew he wasn't mad. "Now, I may not be a prince, hell, I'm not even from the Upper East Side. But, I care about you, a lot. And I'm not ready to lose you-"

"Dan, the prince is gay." She let out a small laugh, and he looked at her with confusion.

"But there's a pic-"

Again she cut him off, "He asked me to be his cover, and I figured that it worked out on both ends."

He stared for a moment, starting to worry her. But then a smile came to his face and she was filled with regret. "You're amazing, Waldorf."

"I've been told." She said with a chuckle, and he kissed her. And again, she forgot all about everything that just happened. She forgot about their social standings and she kissed him back with everything inside of her.

The next morning, she got a text from Louis to meet her at the diner. She cringed a bit at the thought of eating at a diner, but she agreed to it. She walked in and smiled when she saw him. He pulled her seat out for her, and then sat back in his own. "So how did the boyfriend take it?"

Blair thought back to last night and smiled, not wanting to gross Louis out with the details. "I'd say pretty well."

"That's good." They sat in silence for a minute while Blair looked at her menu. "Listen, there's actually one more thing I forgot to add."

Blair look up from her menu and stared with wide eyes as Louis pulled an engagement ring box out. "Louis. What is this?"

"I need you to marry me."

Again, Blair was angry. She didn't know what to say. He knew that she had a boyfriend. And she knew that he was gay. So what was this? "But, I don't understand." She said with a little tensity in her voice.

"Haven't you always wanted to be a princess?" She thought about it for a moment, and then nodded her head a little bit. "Well I prefer to be in the closet, at least until I'm ready to come out. If you marry me, it would only be until then."

She knew there was more, but she stopped him. "And how long would that be?" She was still angry, but she was softening up to the idea.

"I don't know. It could be short, it could be long. But, when we are done, you keep your name as Queen Blair." Tons of emotions ran through Blair. Queen? She was always meant for this position. She had to do this.

"Yes." His eyes widened, but he didn't say anything, not wanting her to change her mind. He placed the ring on her finger and she smiled at it.

But when she realized what she just committed to, a small thought came to her mind. 'I don't think Dan's going to understand this as much.'
