Chapter 9:

Blair ran out of the Palace Hotel as fast as she could. Tears running down her face with her hair sticking to her face comparing to a sweaty summer day, Blair hailed a cab rather quickly and told the driver to take her to Fredrick's on Madison Street. I walked out of the cab to find Andrew already waiting for me at a table by himself.

"Andrew, sweetie, I'm so sorry I'm late. Serena kept talking and talking and I was trying to tell her I had plans with you but she was to occupied in telling me this weird story about her & Dan."Blair said as she reached the table and sat down across from Andrew.

"I thought you were at a friend's house from Yale not Serena's." Andrew said looking at Blair suspiciously.

"Oh, well. That's right I did but she had to leave early to get back to classes so I stopped over Serena's and now here I am." Blair said with every word she told Andrew falsely.

"Are you really telling me the truth Blair? Are you, because for some strange reason I seem to believe that you were with someone you weren't supposed to with last night and this morning? Am I right or wrong, Blair?"

"Okay, fine. Your right, I was with Chuck last night and you know what I don't regret it." Blair said standing up at the table raising her voice a little."I will always love Chuck more than I will ever love you. I rather marry him than you." Blair yanked the ring occupied on her left hand and slammed on the table and walked out of the restaurant.

A few minutes later, Blair arrived back at the Palace Hotel the same way she was earlier that day only this time instead of tears on her face she had a smile. Blair walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor. She was suddenly so nervous in seeing Chuck again and to finally tell him that she wants to be with him forever. When the elevator stopped, Blair walked up to the door of Chuck's suite to find a note attached to the door. The note stated, To Blair Waldorf, I always knew you would come back for more but in your case you have to work for your gift. Love, Chuck. Blair looked at the tears now with tears in her eyes. She opened the envelope to find a list of instructions. Blair was in for the journey of her life.
