Moments

Okay, so as much as I love the soft and sweet Chuck and Blair, I decided that I would add a bit of drama into the story.

Sorry it's a little late...lets just say laptops aren't my best friend at the moment.

I know this is a bit shorter than the last chapter, but it just felt right to end it here...

Review and I'll might put the next chapter up by the end of the week!

Enjoy xx

Chuck continued to fight with his tie as he stared into the mirror, cursing under his breath.

Blair opened her eyes to see none other than a very frustrated Chuck. She sat herself up, examining the scene before her. Chuck bass couldn't tie a tie, who would have thought?

"Something wrong Bass?" Blair asked sarcastically.

Chuck grunted.

Amused by the situation, Blair pulled herself up out of the bed, wrapped her robe around her, and sighed as she approached him.

"Chuck Bass unable to tie a tie, oh no, what is the world coming to?"

"I can do it… the damm thing is just being unnecessarily uncooperative"

Blair laughed as she pulled him round so that he was facing her. "Come here Bass"

Blair took the crumpled up tie from his hands and undid the unattractive knot he had created. She carefully tied it to perfection; she was a Waldorf after all. She then smiled, content with satisfaction.

"There" She patted his chest affectionately. "Isn't so hard is it now?"

"I was managing by myself" Chuck added as he gently placed a kiss on her nose.

Blair helped his arms into his jacket, and watched as he walked into to the kitchen to collect his briefcase. She sensed the unevenness in him, immediately aware that something wasn't right.

"What is it Bass?"

Chuck began to look through his briefcase.

"Chuck!"

"Yes?" Chuck replied, only briefly looking up before continuing closing up his briefcase.

"Well something is wrong with you, you haven't even noticed what I'm wearing yet…"

Chuck had noticed the pale silk night slip that she was wearing, it was the same one she had worn the first night she had actually woken up next to him, after the sleeping over part, of course. He loved the way it clung against her skin, making her delicate frame look even more sexy than it already was. Yes, he had definitely noticed.

Blair was unsatisfied with his continuation to ignore her; she would get an answer out of him before he went.

"Look at me Bass"

"Nothing" Chuck shrugged.

"Well it has to be something; Chuck Bass in sulk mode isn't something that I tolerate"

Chuck knew she wasn't going to let him leave without an answer. He gave in.

Chuck shifted in his spot, briefcase still in his hand.

"Jacks in town"

The room went cold as both found themselves unable to speak. Blair knew that Jack Bass being in town was not something people looked forward to as having more than one Bass in the same city usually ended badly, they both wanted to destroy each other more than anything else. As always, only one would win. As always, she knew it would be Chuck.

Blair decided it was time to break the silence.

"Any reason? Or has he just come to humiliate himself once more"

"Business. He's still got his share of Bass Industries, so he's entitled to attend board meetings. His first appearance being at todays."

Blair moved over towards Chuck, a slight smile crept across her face.

"Don't do anything stupid Chuck. As much as you like to deny it, you're the good Bass"

He looked up and smiled at her comment. It was gone within a few seconds, but she has seen it.

"I can't promise anything." Chuck straightened himself up and turned towards the door.

Blair stopped him. "If you can promise me that you love me then you can promise anything, Chuck. Now I'm saying don't do anything stupid"

He stared at her, his eyes a dark pool of uncertainty and confusion. She sighed and lent up to kiss him, as for the two of them, their actions could speak for more than that of a thousand words.

He smiled back at her. "I'll see you tonight"

And with that he left, leaving an uneasy feeling to begin to take place in Blair's stomach. She knew that however hard she hoped that Chuck would keep his promise, a confrontation with Jack would not end well and as always she would need to be there to pick up the pieces, however dark and destroyed they may be.
