Chapter Three:
Blair entered her brownstone and went straight upstairs to her room. She thought about purging the numerous calories of alcohol she had drank but quite frankly didn't have the strength. After undressing and laying on her bed in her robe for a good thirty minutes sulking, wallowing in much deserved self-pity she went over to her purse and grabbed her phone. Though her courage ran from her after that picture was taken, she had still had had enough and gossip girl was right, she was ready to fight her way back to her old life if she had too. Blair thought for a moment, trying to devise a way to get even with Chuck but the other half of her brain just wanted to be with Chuck. Was it possible to devise a plot in which she'd receive revenge and love? Probably not but she'd try anyway. Right now she was more angry than loving, another blot of boldness burst through her. She flipped open her phone and sent Chuck a text that read 'That was cold, Chuck even for you. If you want me away from you so much how can you explain your hands up my dress?" Blair felt a little better after sending the text, while waiting for Chuck's response her phone rang.
"Blair, where are you?" It was Dan's voice on the other end, calling from Serena's phone, "Serena has been looking all over for you!"
"Sorry guys I'm fine. I just felt a little bit lightheaded and decided to leave." Blair lied.
"Are you sick? We'll come by." Dan said, exemplifying one of the very reasons he grew on Blair.
"No, really I'm fine. Enjoy your night!" She answered.
"Okay. I'm going to find Serena and tell you're fine." Dan said before adding, "Oh and B?"
"Yes"
"Really call us if you need anything." He said, he knew she was much worse off than she pretended.
Blair thanked him and smiled to herself, Chuck had responded, 'One too many scotches, of course. It wouldn't be the first time. I told you Blair, I'm done with you.' She was no longer smiling but not as upset as most would assume she was and she responded accordingly, 'Are you sure? Leave me now and I'm gone forever.' He responded almost immediately, 'Good riddance.' This sent her into a fury, 'Fine Chuck, don't play nice. Soon you're going to know what it's like to have absolutely no one left on your side.' 'You know I don't play nice, B.' was his response. 'That's okay. Two can play at that game.' Blair responded.
Back in his suite Chuck throw his phone against the wall. He wasn't sure what he was so scared of: losing Nate's friendship? Giving up his reputation? Or maybe he just wanted Blair to suffer more after abandoned him for Nate after he messed up? Didn't she know that the mishap at the debutante ball was the best way he could show his affection for her? Something about Blair Waldorf warped his mind; he just couldn't wrap his mind around her. She was bitchy but sweet; bold yet shy, and too many other contradictions to name. Chuck knew he wanted her but he didn't think he could emotionally handle what may happen this time if they got together again. After all drowning you his feelings in scotch and cigarettes was far easier. He sat and wondered what she'd do next, how she'd try to ruin him but he decided any efforts made would be simply futile solely because he was Chuck Bass.
Two nights later Blair arrived at the Palace Hotel with Carter Basin, the two sat down for a romantic dinner date. She looked beautiful as always but was there solely to unnerve Chuck a little, she figured she'd start small and see how long it'd take him to crack. Though it was unsettling having to 'crack' the exterior of Chuck for him to admit he loved her, it was part of his personality and who his is and nonetheless his solid exterior therefore was part of why Blair loved him. Chuck reached for his phone as it buzzed with a Gossip Girl update, only to throw his phone against the wall for the second time in three days. The Gossip Girl update read…
Spotted: Blair and Carter Basin enjoying a romantic dinner at the Palace Hotel. I wonder if Chuck is watching from a far, we all know he and Carter are not exactly two peas in a pod. Looks like Blair is wearing a piece of jewelry very familiar to him, the diamond necklace he gave her for her birthday. Chuck must be green with envy, enjoy the view C. Green is your color anyway and it looks like we'll be seeing it on you a lot more.

He understood what most people didn't, Blair would never wear that necklace when they had their little affair always stating it was for something very special. Now she was wearing the diamond necklace she wanted Nate to buy her but Chuck bought her instead on a date with the one person Chuck truly couldn't stand, there was irony all over the situation. Chuck got dressed and waltzed downstairs like he owned the place, oh wait he did. Blair noticed him come in and take a seat at the quiet restaurant's bar, two minutes later a waiter walked to the table with a tray carrying two glasses and a bottle of champagne.
"Champagne for the happy couple." The waiter smiles, "Compliments of Mr. Bass." As he set the try down the waiter slipped Blair a small note.
Carter smiled as he left, "Well I guess that's generous considering we're just two old friends catching up."
"Very generous." Blair smiled, she was happy Gossip Girl reported it as a date though even though it wasn't. Her eyes slowly began to skim the note from Chuck.
-B
You having dinner with this dirt bag is supposed to make me jealous? That's rich. I'm pleased to see you still have the necklace I gave you, guess it holds some sentimental value of the good olds days? If I were YOU I'd want to remember them too, though personally I prefer conquer and move on.
-C
Of course Chuck twisted everything around to his benefit and Blair was not too surprised she simply rolled her eyes. Carter excused himself for a moment and Blair simply nodded, just as he left Chuck walked over to the table and sat down.
"I hear the brazed quail is excellent here," He said sarcastically, "Oh wait that's right you don't eat."
"Stop with those comments. You truly have no right to ever bring that up anymore." Blair said smugly. "Oh and take this." She took off her necklace, "You're right too many memories of the old days, ya know? All those awful nights."
Chuck's eyes burned with fire, "I don't recall you ever complaining."
"What can I say? One too many cosmos." Blair snapped, using Chuck's vapid line.
That's it now he was angry, "Look princess I swear if you don't leav-"
"Excuse me." Carter interrupted returning to the table, "Do you have a problem?"
"Yes, I was just telling Blair here that sluts and junkies aren't welcome in this establishment so you better leave." He scowled.
"You're kidding me right?" Carter raised his voice. "And that's no way to talk about a lady."
"Forgive me, I don't see any ladies present." Chuck snapped, staring at Blair.
Carter began to respond but was quickly silenced by a punch. Blair was shocked; she had never planned on getting Chuck this worked up. She was only hoping to evoke a little jealously, maybe some regretful feelings. Their eyes met for a split second then Chuck walked away. As Blair helped Carter up and they gathered their things, just hoping to not cause anymore of a scene she couldn't help but wonder if Chuck could be so clearly so upset over a simple dinner then when the hell did he develop the will-power to resist her? Was this really all about Nate's friendship? Blair now knew the next person she'd be stopping by to see; as she exited she left the diamond necklace on the table. Chuck who had now been watching from a hidden corner retrieved it shortly after she left; he put it in a small drawer in his suite where he'd never have to see it again.
Spotted: CHUCK BASS PUNCHING CARTER BASIN, who attempted to defend our fair maiden's honor and who says chivalry is dead?! We can't help but to be a bit confused wasn't it Chuck who cast aside our former Queen B AGAIN just days ago? Looks like you better make up your mind, C. As you should have already learned UES Princesses don't stay single for long, better hurry up us ladies tend to chose knights in shining armor over the village fool.
