"Hey S...it's Blair, I don't know if you're not answering on purpose or if you're actually not there…but please call me back as soon as you hear this."

"Still not talking to you, hum?"

"No…"

"C'mon, there's no need to be upset about it…" he says, holding me tight against his chest.

"I'm not upset…"

"Yes, you are. Don't try to fool me Blair, sometimes I think that spending so much time with Nate has damaged you."

"I just…wait, are you calling ME stupid?" I say, pulling away from him, though I kind of regret it instantly…just kind of anyway.

"No, what I mean is that it made you start to underestimate people. Not everybody is as clueless as Nathaniel, Waldorf, and specially, I'm not."

"I know that okay?"

Yes, I'm a little upset, but it's not like Serena and I haven't had these fights over and over again for the last years.

"She is going to answer me eventually, so it's all going to be…see? She's calling me right now. Hi S, I'm so glad you called and…"

"OH NO BLAIR, I'LL DO THE TALKING NOW!"

"What? Serena, there's no need to…"

"NO NEED TO WHAT? Blair, I told you to trust me!"

"I did, I mean, I do but…"

"OH REALLY? So why did I just found Carter with a serious hangover claiming that the last thing he remembers is talking to you! Oh, and he also said he is very glad that I told you about our little secret."

"See? Even that idiot knows that you should tell me things."

"Right, there's only one problem Blair. I DIDN'T TELL YOU ANY SECRET!"

"Oh, that? C'mon Serena, I just want to help you…"

"You wanna help me? Then stay out of it!"

"Okay, I get it that you're mad about what I did, but I don't understand why I can't help! Is Baizen your new best friend? Because we both know that when you try to replace me it can get pretty ugly."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Please Serena, first Georgina Sparks, who turned out to be a psycho bitch, and then Poppy Lifton, kindda hard to forget, right?"

"I've made some mistakes, but it doesn't mean that Carter is a bad person!"

"Fine, trust him or whatever. Just tell me what's going on!"

"I guess I've been kindda harsh on you…fine! Okay, so I found this letter on my mom's desk…"

"When?"

"I was hoping that you wouldn't ask that…actually, there's been a while."

"Like a month?"

"More like six months…"

"What?"

"Do you intend to let me finish?"

"Right…sorry, go on."

"Thanks, as I was saying, I found this letter and it said:

Here is the money, as we agreed. Don't do anything stupid Lily.

Van der Woodsen"

"What did he mean by…"

"That's what I'm trying to find out, but the thought of doing it just occurred to me months later."

"How? I mean, weren't you curious?"

"B, I haven't heard from my father in years, I was more shocked that he is still in touch with my mom! "

"Right, forgot about that, sorry…"

"That's okay…but continuing, I thought it would be better not to ask my mother…you know how she is, she would never tell me the truth!"

"So you decided that it would be better talking to him."

Serena was being absurd, it would obviously be more practical to talk to Lily, but I guess it makes sense…it is Serena after all, and she loves the drama. Everything kind of makes sense, except for…

"Carter! What does Carter have to do with all this?"

"Not much…is just that I know he has contacts, so when I ran into him again I thought…"

"S! Chuck has contacts too, and you know it!"

"Yes, but Chuck would get too involved with it. I rather have Carter's help, he doesn't ask any questions."

"Just ask you to have sex with him in return!"

"Of course not! Did he tell you that? It's not like that…I started to like him after a while."

"S…"

"Please, don't. You can't tell this to anyone, okay?"

"Okay…"

"See? Lying already Blair. But it's okay, you have my permission to tell Chuck, even though I'm pretty sure you don't need it to do it."

"Hmm…okay then. But I'm serious Serena, Baizen tried to ruin my relationship with Chuck, he can't be trusted."

"I'll keep that in mind Blair. I have to go now, bye."

"Bye, and thank you for being honest with me."

"Sure…not a problem."

BIP BIP

"So Waldorf, guess you are friends again, how shocking."

"Guess we are…"

"What's wrong?" he says, kissing my shoulder lightly. I love it when he does that.

"She's hiding something Bass. And I think I know what it is…"

To be continued…

By the way, I'm sorry there's not much Blair-Chuck interaction on this one, but it will get better, I promise ^^
