I hope you like it and aren't too mad about leaving you guys hanging with this for so long. I was just bursting with so many new ideas I forgot that I never posted the ending to this story! Thanks for reading and look back tomorrow for the conclusion! And I hope you check out my other fics as well!
Blair had dozed off in Dan's arms almost instantly. She felt safe, loved and incredibly warm being enveloped in Dan's loving and strong arms. Dan smiled and just breathed her in during the trip. When Blair felt the car come to a stop she didn't immediately let Dan know she had awoken, not wanting the feeling she was having end so soon. Dan ran his hand up and down her arm, tickling it slightly, trying to urge her awake. Blair smiled and raised her head up and stretched her arms out above her head.
"Jeez, how long was that drive Dan? You do realize kidnapping royalty and bringing them over state lines is a felony?" Blair said finishing up her stretches and reaching towards her blindfold.
Dan halted her movements and said, "Not yet, Waldorf. And it's not kidnapping when you go willingly. It was only about 25 minutes. And we are still in the city…sort of…"Dan trailed off.
"Oh no…where have you taken me?" Blair said with a smirk.
Dan grabbed her hands and lead her out of the car…and then Blair's eyebrows raised when she felt herself being put into another car. "Dan…what is going on…"
Dan left her side for a moment and then she heard him enter from the other side and close the door. "Okay, ready to see where I have brought you?"
"I have been ready for-" Blair stopped when she felt Dan tear the knot from the tie and let it slip into her lap. When Blair opened her eyes…she felt her heart swell with love for the man sitting next to her. They were in his father's car...and at a drive-in. "Humphrey…" She breathed with appreciation and locked her eyes with his.
"Remember when you told me that you have never been to a drive-in and always wanted to go? Saying that it was a completely different movie going experience and the scene in Grease was always one of your favorites?" Dan said quickly all in one breath.
Blair simply nodded, not able to contain her excited grin, "Yes…I really thought I'd never be able to go to one…especially after…well…"
Dan smiled and took one of her hands and continued explaining, "Well, I found out that one weekend a month there is a drive-in set up in the ferry parking lot in Staten Island. They show classic old films and have all the tradition movie snacks. So I planned to woo you tonight so we could catch the drive-in this month."
Blair smiled and squeezed his hand, "Well, Humphrey…even though I hate the word 'woo' you are doing a pretty good job so far accomplishing that task…"
Dan laughed and replied lowly, "Enough to get that kiss you were about to give me on the roof of the Met?"
Blair thought for a moment and then leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Maybe later, after you go get me that dessert you promised." Just for good measure she kissed underneath his ear before she pulled back with a smirk. Dan's eyes were closed and he was reveling in the feeling that kiss gave him.
A moment later he opened his eyes and said, "Well, I definitely can do that. I did promise you dessert." At that he reached behind him and grabbed a container from the back seat. "I know this isn't a traditional movie snack, but I know they are your favorite…and they are homemade." Dan explained handing the container to Blair.
Blair's eyebrow raised at Dan before she popped the top and she gasped. "Macaroons? You made me macaroons?"
Dan nodded and said, "I hope you like them…I made all types chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, raspberries, blackberry-" Blair silenced him with her lips, unable to stop herself. Dan was taken back for a moment but then relaxed into it. Blair's lips were eager against his own. She ran her tongue along his lips and he took it in a second later. Their tongues played against one another while their bodies were inching closer to the other by the minute. Dan tried to pull her toward him more, but stopped remembering she had the container on her lap. He slowed down the kiss, earning a whimper from Blair as he pulled away-she chaste his lips with her own, trying to continue that sexy, heart stopping kiss. Dan smirked at Blair's attempts so he gave in and planted another sweet kiss on her lips, pulling back before it got out of control, "I don't want you to drop the dessert I slaved over…but we have the whole movie to pick up from that…" Dan said lowly…seductively.
Blair smiled and blushed, "I couldn't wait any longer…Dan this has been one of the best dates I have been on...ever. Everything has just been perfect." Blair squeezed his hand trying to convey how much everything he had done for her meant to her. She then took one of the macaroons and took a bite and moaned at how good it tasted, "Humphrey…this is heavenly. Have some." Blair raised the cookie to his lips.
Dan's eyes were focused on her lips as they were chewing the cookie her made for her and took a bite of the offered cookie, making sure his lips gazed her fingers. "I try. And honestly…this whole night has been my pleasure…anything to keep that gorgeous smile on your face." Dan said beaming.
Blair smiled and finishing off her cookie. "You know...the macaroon was really good..." Blair trailed off while she closed the container and moved it off her lap and moved slowly towards Dan. "But you taste so much better..."
Dan groaned as Blair brought his lips back to her own. She pulled on his hair, while Dan wrapped his arms around her petite frame, bringing her flush against her. He felt every part of her glorious body against his own, and it made him ached with desire for her. She tasted like raspberry sugar and her couldn't get enough of it. When Dan's hand accidentally grazed the side of her breast Blair moaned into his mouth and had to break away before she would pull him into the back seat and rip his clothes off and have her way with him. She leaned her forehead against his, both of the panting trying to catch their breath. Dan kissed her lips once more chastely.
Blair smiled, "So what movie are we watching…or you know…not watching." Blair said suggestively running her hand down Dan's arm and threading her fingers through his.
"Ah…yes. It should be starting soon. I just have to change the radio to 88.7…and then we should hear…" Dan smiled when she looked at the screen and saw and heard the familiar opening she knew so well.
"This is incredible…Breakfast at Tiffanys? I can't believe this is the movie that was scheduled to play tonight…it was like fate…" Blair said lowly, powerfully while locking her eyes on Dan's again.
"Well, as much as I love hearing you say that…I can't lie to you…I might have paid off the guy in charge of this whole thing to play this movie tonight…"Dan said blushing.
Blair smiled and said, "You see…I think that that is even sweeter. Look at you scheming…I have taught you well." Blair said kissing his cheek and then settling into his arms.
Dan wrapped Blair securely into his embraced and rested his chin on the top of her head. "Well, you did pop my cherry in scheming. And having you as a teacher…how could I not be amazing at it?"
Blair sighed and giggled into his chest. "Dan…I don't want this to end…and that scares me…"
Dan sighed and brought her gaze up to his. "It doesn't have to Blair…but that is entirely up to you. But whatever you decide. I will always be there for you…always remember that..."
Blair's eyes filled with tears at his words. "I know..." She knew what she wanted…but she still knew that if she gave into it- she would be hurting a lot of people, one in particular would be her best friend. Dan wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead. 'I love you' Blair thought in her head when she looked up into his eyes…but didn't dare say it out loud. She just decided to revel in the feeling having Dan's arms around her. She tightened her arms around him…as it she never wanted to let him go. Even though Breakfast At Tiffany's was her favorite movie ever…all her focus was on Dan. She was trying to memorize everything about him, every feeling that he was invoking in her…because even though she really didn't want to…she knew she would have to let it go at the end of the night. And that thought broke her heart.
Please review and let me know what you think! The conclusion will come out tomorrow night!
