CHAPTER 9: Caught

Vanessa couldn't help but smile widely as Chuck walked over to greet her. She had just arrived at the Bass home and was eager to pick up where they left off the night before. She threw her arms around him as he kissed her softly, his way of saying hello again. He stopped the kiss, took her hand, and led her upstairs, smirking at her.

They entered Chuck's room, which Vanessa had been in several times since they started secretly seeing each other. She turned to him as he closed the door behind them. "Shouldn't you be packing? You're going to move in with Lily soon, aren't you?" Chuck looked at her curiously. Vanessa snapped her fingers. "Oh, I forgot, you probably have people to pack things for you." She shook her head, smiling. "Could we be any more different?"

Chuck put his hands around her waist and leaned his forehead against hers. "Impossible, and I couldn't care less." He kissed her softly, guiding her over the edge of the bed. Vanessa laughed as they both fell on his soft, comfortable mattress. They continued exploring each other's mouths as Chuck's hands started their way under her shirt. Vanessa moaned slightly and suddenly took his hands, stopping them from cupping her breasts.

Chuck broke the kiss, and rolled over to lay next to her, sighing. Vanessa exhaled. "I'm sorry. It's just……"She eyed Chuck as he got up from the bed, walked towards the bathroom, and turned on the water. From the bathroom, he yelled "I'm gonna take a cold shower….again." Vanessa frowned slightly. She wanted him as much as he wanted her, so why was she so cautious about finally being with him like they both wanted? She slowly walked to the bathroom and watched Chuck shower through the glass door.

They had been seeing each other secretly for about a month and this is the way they both liked it. There was no one that could turn their noses up at seeing them together, no gossip, it was just the two of them. But deep down, Vanessa wasn't sure how long they would be able to keep this up. Sometimes she thought she saw Dan eyeing her suspiciously, and she could tell that there was something he'd been wanting to ask her, but he hadn't brought anything up.

"Vanessa?" Vanessa was shaken out of her thoughts as Chuck's head poked out of one side of the glass shower door, eyeing her with a curious look. "Why are you standing there?" Vanessa shrugged. "Nothing." She glanced at Chuck's wet shoulders as he continued to glare at her, wet and naked. Vanessa bit her lips and turned around, grabbing her bag and coat. "I think I'm gonna spend the night at home tonight." She rushed down the stairs, and heard Chuck yell at her to wait. As she got to the bottom stair, she saw Chuck rushing out with a towel around his wait, asking her to wait. She shook her head. She needed to get out of there before she decided to throw away common sense. She grabbed the door handle and turned it just as Chuck caught up with her, grabbing his towel to keep it from falling to the floor. As Vanessa opened the door, she gasped at the sight in front of her and Chuck. There, at Chuck Bass' doorway, was Dan Humphrey, and he did not look happy.

Lonely Boy, his BFF, and Chuck Bass in nothing but a towel? Sounds like a recipe for entertainment. Let's hope they don't dissapoint. You know you love me, XoXo Gossip Girl.
