Just as the doors opened she felt someone grab her arm...
"Where are you going?"
Blair turned around to face Serena.
"Back to the room" yanking her arm out of Serena's grip.
"What's wrong?" she asked sympathetically although she had an idea.
"What's wrong!?" Blair repeated, her voice rising and eyes beginning to fill with tears. "What's wrong is that this was the worst idea ever! I'm going to have to spend the next two weeks with you and Nate having the time of your life, while I sit back and watch as Chuck Bass fucks every stupid slut in the hotel!" She was yelling now and the tears had begun to run down her cheeks
Serena looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry, B. Come on," she said taking her hand again and approaching the elevator "Let's go watch a movie back in the room, just me and you"
Blair again, pulled her hand away. A lot more quiet now, as she noticed people beginning to stare "No, Serena, I want to be alone. You go have fun" Blair stepped around her and into the elevator, the doors shutting between them.
Serena sighed and turned around to see Chuck on the other side of the lobby watching her, probably the entire time. She marched over to him and pushed him back into the wall. "What's wrong with you, Chuck?" Chuck removed her hands from his chest and glared at her. "I didn't do anything" He looked down at the ground, "She walked away from me. I can't help it if people talk to me Serena! I am not going to spend my entire trip alone as Blair gives me the silent treatment." He knew he was lying. He had no intention of getting with any other girls. But he obviously wasn't going to admit it out loud.
"Well, thanks to you Blair is upset" Serena said curtly.
"I assure you, it's no thanks to me. Whatever is wrong with her is her problem-" It wasn't until after he had said it, he realized how cruel it sounded. "But, if it will please you, sister, I will go talk to her."
Without waiting for a reply he walked towards the elevator. Leaving Serena standing alone.
Blair sat on the edge of her bed staring at the floor. Had she actually just caused a scene in the middle of the lobby? Blair Waldorf did not make public scenes, she always had her head held high, plotting revenge through gritted teeth. She barely noticed someone standing in the doorway. She looked up to find Chuck leaning lazily against the wall, staring at her.
She gave him as much of a glare as she could with tears still in her eyes. "Go away, Chuck." She stood up making her way to the bathroom, "Go back to your stupid blond slut"
He stepped in front of her blocking the way. She stopped walking but refused to look up.
"I don't want her" He whispered. "Blair-"
Blair slowly met his gaze. Chuck grabbed her face, his lips crashing over hers. Blairs hands immediately reaching around his neck pulling him closer.
His tongue hungrily parted her lips, Blair moaned in his mouth. Chuck picked her up and carried her over to the bed, their lips never leaving each other. Chucks body was covering Blairs as he began to untie her house coat. Blair broke away and pushed him off.
"No, no, no. No Chuck, no." Blair screeched. Getting up she walked to the other side of the room and began pacing back and forth.
"No Chuck. I can't do this. I can't keep doing this." Chuck slowly began walking towards her, genuinely confused.
She stopped, looking up at him. "You left me." He stopped dead in his tracks. "Chuck, you left me. You left me in Tuscany alone for some random re-decorator." She felt her eyes well up with tears for the second time that night.
He started walking towards her again, "Blair I don-" his voice cracking.
"No Chuck. You had your chance. You had me! You had me, and you just walked away." She finished with a defeated breath.
"Blair, I -" he took her both of her hands in his "I apologize" he said in a quiet voice looking down at their hands "I should have went with you, I don't know what happened"
She could barely hear him now, and he continued to look down. Tears still running down her face she realized this was the first time she ever heard him apologize to anyone. She had HEARD people saying he told Nate he was sorry for betraying him and sleeping with her last year. But this was the first time in the eleven years she had known him she, herself had heard the words escape his lips.
Even with this revelation she still could not look past the pain he had caused her.
"Chuck I-"
"Please, Blair" his voice breaking "Please let me finish." He said finally looking at her. She had never seen him so ..un-Chuck like. He looked broken.
"I guess" he continued, his eyes glued to their hands again as he unconsciously rubbed the pads of his thumbs over the top of her hands. "I guess I got scared. I was scared that I would change" He hesitated.
"I thought you would change me." He smiled sadly "I don't trust myself around you" he looked into her eyes, a sad smile still playing on his lips "You make me crazy, Waldorf. If I could go back, I would not make the same mistake" He lifted his hand to lightly brush a piece of hair behind her ear. "I would treat you like you deserve to be treated; like royalty"
Blair instinctively turned her head towards his hand leaning into his touch, looking down. His hand moved to the back of her neck pulling her face towards his, briefly kissing her.
"I will win you back." he declared with confidence suddenly stepping back, away from her. "Chuck Bass does not back out of a challenge" he said with a smile reaching for the door handle. "I will prove myself to you, and you will be mine once again." With that he shut the door, leaving a stunned Blair, speechless.
--
Serena and Nate were still at the bar. She had gone back to the pool to tell him what had happened. They both decided it would be best to leave them alone to sort things out. It had been an hour and a half since Chuck had walked away from Serena, and she was getting tired.
"You think Blair will have yelled herself out yet?" She asked with a sigh.
Nate gave a small laugh "I don't know, when Blair is mad she can be pretty..."
"Blair" They both said at the same time, laughing.
She grabbed his hand pulling him to his feet. "Too bad, I'm tired. Let's go back anyway"
They walked arm in arm through the hotel, Serena's head resting against his shoulder.
They stopped outside the room and Nate put his ear against the door. "Hmm.. I don't hear them."
They slipped inside to find both doors closed and only a small lamp on in the main room. Nate opened the bedroom door to find his and Chucks room empty.
"Chucks not there" He told Serena, confused.
"Oh, disgusting." She said giving her door an offended look. "I bet I know where he is" she walked over to her door opening it slowly to peek in.
To her surprise it was completely dark, other than the moonlight shining through the window. She walked over to Blairs bed to find her friend asleep, although Serena noticed her pillow seemed to be wet. She sat down on the edge of the bed and lightly brushed the hair out of Blairs face. Her eyes were puffy and Serena could still see marks from tears streaking down her face. She gave her a sad look and pulled the blanket up wrapped it around Blair a little tighter.
She looked up as Nate knocked lightly on the door opening it slightly to poke his head in.
"Not in here?" He asked, knowing the answer when Serena didn't run out of the room screaming.
"Come on" He said extending his hand until she walked towards him taking it in her own. "Lets get some popcorn and watch a movie."
She smiled and followed him out closing the door slowly looking back at Blairs small figure, once more.
