A/N: So here's Episode 10. Thanks to the people who reviewed the last Chapter.

To the anonymous reviewer – I have other AU stories and that was a good idea for a story, I will probably do something like that once I have finished the Season 1 part of this story. I'm going to keep this story going along the timeline of the show. Break-ups and everything but I will do some AU stories once I have finished writing the first season of this story.

Season 1 Episode 10

Chuck was walking towards the cotillion practice with Nate.

"Hey, so has Blair mentioned who's escorting her?" Nate asked him. Chuck didn't like where this conversation was going, he had finally gotten Blair all to himself and now Nate was becoming interested in her. Too interested for Chuck's liking.

"Why?" he enquired, "Are you having remorse sex fantasies about your ex?" Just joke about it and out him on the defensive, then he might not ask too many questions about Blair and you won't have to punch him for only being interested in her when he couldn't have her.

"What?" Nate scoffed. "No."

"Don't fuck with a fucker. I know that look." Chuck told him. That was the look that meant he might want Blair back - that was the look that could ruin his relationship or whatever it was that he had with Blair. She didn't want anyone to know and he didn't want Nate to know until he was sure that he was completely over Blair.

"No man, it's just every time I see her lately something's different you know. She's lighter, she's happier." Chuck tried not to smile, he liked that he was making her happy. "She's just les, less Blair." That kind of pissed him off; if he only wanted her when she wasn't completely herself the how could he claim to want her? He wants a watered down, easier version of her.

"She does have a certain glow about her, doesn't she?" Chuck didn't really expect Nate to answer him, he just wanted him to acknowledge that Blair was happier – Nate didn't need to know that it was him making her so happy.

"With my dad in rehab," Nate told Chuck, "It's like the pressure is finally off me. You know, I can see Blair clearly and it's... oh, I don't know man. I think I might miss her."

This wasn't good; Chuck knew that if Nate told Blair that she would probably abandon Chuck and go running into Nate's waiting arms. "You don't miss her, man." He said as he walked away, trying to think of a way to keep him from stealing Blair away from him – without Nate or Blair finding out what he's doing.

Blair was thrilled to finally leave cotillion dance practice. Chuck had been locking her eyes with his all afternoon and it was driving her crazy. She dashed out of the door quickly when practice ended and went straight into his limo before anyone could see her.

They had started making out in his car and before she knew it they were on her bed and she was lying beneath Chuck while he ran his hands up her red –tight clad thighs. Her hands were on the collar of his shirt, pulling at it to begin removing hi tie.

"You looked hot on Princess Theodore's arm today." Chuck told her, he couldn't resist getting a dig in at Blair's escort. He had wanted her to ask him but he understood why she hadn't. She had just broken up with his best friend. They couldn't tell anyone yet, and whenever they did tell people Chuck wanted to tell Nate first – face to face, before he started to hear any rumours. He wanted him to know the truth.

"Is that what I am to you?" she asked him, "Just an accessory?"

Chuck kissed her again. "Next to him, yes." He informed her. He rolled them over so she was on top of him. "On me you would be so much more."

"Yes, but I can't be on you. Remember." She told him as he ran his hands along her thighs again. "Because you don't want Nate to find out. I don't want anyone to." She kissed him again, pulling them up so that his back was straight and her legs were wrapped around his back. "But you have to learn to behave yourself first."

They were both smiling now, they were done talking, they just wanted to feel each other, preferably before Blair's mum came home and assaulted Chuck for having sex with her daughter. Before Chuck could kiss her again the bell rang, signalling the arrival of a visitor.

Dorota shouted that Nate was there to see Blair and Chuck fell back onto the pillows, their afternoon together was over.

Chuck listened for Blair's bedroom as she talked with Nate. He heard Nate going on about their childhood plans, Chuck knew that was how to get to Blair, she liked to live out the fairytale and as much as Chuck hated it, Nate was her Prince Charming, not him. Chuck knew the second Nate asked her to go with him for 'old times' sake' that she would accept. But she didn't straight way, she mention moving on. That made him smile, maybe she was over Nate, maybe he had a real shot with Blair. Nate mentioned the pin she had given him as a symbol of her love. Chuck wasn't so sure that Blair was going to refuse Nate anymore. She said yes to Nate, Chuck tried to think of a way to sabotage Nate as he looked for his jacket. He was leaving as soon as he was sure Nate was a safe distance away. He didn't really want to be around Blair right now and he had a plan to think up.

Chuck steps off of the elevator to Blair's penthouse to hear her talking about how much of a perfect that he is, how much of a perfect gentleman, that Nate the perfect choice to be her escort because of their history. He hated that she was still so caught up in Nate, he felt like she was cheating on him and it hurt. It hurt more than he'd ever admit.

He walked up to the interviewer and introduced himself, he wanted to piss her off, Blair deserved it for hurting him so much. "Hi, I'm Chuck Bass." He said to the interviewer," "I would just like to say how proud I am of Miss Waldorf and her commitment to Mr Archibald. Even though he ruined her seventeenth birthday and slept with her-"

Blair stopped him talking by stomping on his foot with her heel. She rushed the interviewer out of the room and turned on Chuck. How dare he do that to her, he knew how important the interview was to her. This was exactly why she couldn't be with him properly, in public.

"What was that?" she asked him.

"I should ask you the same question." He was pissed. "Perfect gentleman? Perfect date? That broken record was a hit last year. Get with the times. He bores you."

"You almost made a fool of me in front of the New York Times. Which proves my very point. You can't be trusted. Nate is a gentleman; he would never cause a scene."

"Never get your blood going either." He told her. That was the one advantage he had over Nate, he could make her feel alive.

"Speaking of going, that's what you should do." Blair was determined not to let him lure her in with that smooth velvety voice of his. "Carter Baizen is on his way here right now."

"What the hell are you doing with Carter Baizen?" he asked her.

"He left his jacket here yesterday. And I'd rather you be gone when he got here." She needed him to leave; she couldn't have him distracting her from her Cotillion with Nate. "There's been enough scenes for today."

Blair walked away from him as he formed his plan in his mind, he knew the perfect way to cause Nate to make a scene and ruin the perfect image he had in Blair's eyes.

Blair walked into the ballroom at her Cotillion, Little J from Brooklyn had managed to fix her dress, thank God and now she was looking for Nate to see what the hell had possessed him to punch Carter in the middle of the dance floor like that.

Chuck spotted Blair looking around the room and signalled the band to start playing; he wanted to dance with her.

Blair saw Chuck and moved towards him. "Have you seen Nate?" she asked him.

"Nate was asked to leave." He told her. He pulled her towards him to dance with her. He liked the fact that he was at least getting to dance with her even though he wasn't her escort. "But, here I am." He looked into her eyes and smiled slightly.

Blair watch as Chuck began to smile, she recognised that smile, they had shared a smile like that together many times. "I know that look." She said. "That's the look you get when your plan falls into place. You're enjoying this. You knew Carter was going to my house. You tipped off Gossip Girl. You ruined my Cotillion on purpose." Blair stopped dancing and pulled herself out of his embrace. "You did all this for your own enjoyment and you didn't care what it would do to me. Which is exactly why you and I can never work."

"Hey, slow down there Waldorf." He did want her away from Nate but he did care if he hurt her in the process. He moved to pull her close to him again.

Blair pushed him away." You make me sick. This thing between us, it's over. For good." She wasn't sure that she really wanted to end it but she couldn't be with him if he was going to sabotage her without giving any thought to her feelings. She walked away; she wanted to get away from him before he could confuse her.

"Blair, wait!" he grabbed her arm; he just wanted her to listen to him. He didn't want her to dump him because she thought that he didn't care about her.

"Don't talk to me." She spat at him as she walked away from him.

"Blair!" he shouted after her. He didn't care who heard, he just cared that the person who had made him happier than he could ever remember was walking away from him.

Chuck decided to go after her, he wasn't ready to let her go without a fight.

"Have you seen Blair Waldorf?" he asked one of the girls from the Cotillion as he walked up the stairs.

"Up there." She told him.

He ran up the stairs and saw her with Nate. Kissing Nate in the doorway of a hotel room. He knew where their evening was going. He hated that she had moved on after 10 minutes of them being over, maybe she didn't care about him after all, maybe he was just wasting his time. Nate winked at him, Chuck wanted to hit him. He hadn't been remotely interested in having sex with Blair, until he couldn't have her. He decided that he wasn't going to give up, he was going to get her back. He just had to think of a plan.

A/N: I know a few of them are really short but I felt that the scenes were important even though they were short so I put them in anyway. There won't be a chapter for Episode 11 because Chuck isn't in it so I'm going straight onto Episode 12. I hoped you like it. Leave a review and make my day? :)
