Monday when school rolled around Blair found herself waiting for Jenny between classes. Usually she wouldn't be caught dead waiting for anyone and yet this was of upmost important. As soon as the blond freshmen stepped of the classroom when the bell rang she was cornered by none other than the queen of Constance. It was not a position anyone wanted to find themselves in especially if they were currently on Blair Waldorf's bad side. "Whatever Chuck has hanging over your head or whatever he is paying you I can give you so much more."

"I have no idea what you are talking about Blair and I really have to go." Jenny had to force herself not to cower back in fear because truth is that Blair terrified her. There was just something about the girl who could play innocent and yet be so cruel when the time called for which had Jenny shaking in her second hand designer boots. The only thing keeping her from spilling her guts this very second was the fact Chuck Bass was holding pages of her diary hostage and that was not something she could afford to have getting out.

"Don't play stupid little J." The brunette snapped as she started walking down the hall to ensure that nobody was listening in on their private conversation. Thankfully Jenny was smart enough to follow her knowing that resisting would only upset Blair even more and that was the last thing she needed right now on top of everything else. "We both know that Chuck Bass is the reason you would dare go against me and I am telling you that while he may be scary I can be downright terrifying, plus I can give you something the great Charles Bass cannot."

The youngest member of the Humphrey clan couldn't help, but be intrigued. What could Blair give her that Chuck could not simply buy? That boy could get anything he wanted no matter what the cost and if it couldn't be bought with money than the mere mention of his father's name usually did the trick. "What would that be?"

"I can make you a queen." Blair replied with a smile seeing the younger girl's entire expression chance when she heard the words. "You and I both know that while the next queen is usually picked by way of a vote, the previous queen who would be me holds all of the power. When I graduate Constance is going to need a new queen and my vote is the most important one since it is fifty-one percent of the final count. You see Jenny this is where you need to make the most important decision you will probably have to make in your life. Do you want to end up flipping burgers back home in Brooklyn after high school with no friends, power, or anything worth having or do you want to be a queen? Do you want to have followers? Hold the power if the entire high school in the palm of your hand, because I could make that happen for you. I am in the position to give you everything you want or I can make you nothing. It doesn't really matter to me either way. Whatever happens next is totally and completely in your hands. So are you with me or do I get to call checkmate on what could have been the best years of your life?"

Jenny felt her breath lodge in her throat. Blair was basically handing over the title of queen to her after she graduated if Jenny helped her. The youngest Humphrey wanted to be queen more than anything else in this world and as far as she could see this was the easiest route to getting what she wanted. Of course it would mean going against Chuck Bass, but if she had the protection of the current queen nothing he could do would be that bad right? If it meant being queen then it was worth it. The worst thing he could do was publish her diary entry and yet she could always claim they were not hers. He had absolutely no proof they belonged to her even if people did believe him it would come down to his word against hers and she had Blair on her side so it was more likely that people would lean towards taking her side in order to keep their queen happy.

"What do you need me to do?" Jenny asked eagerly ready to do almost anything even kill if it meant she could be the queen once Blair had left for Yale. Right about now she would even give up on the fantasies she had about she and Nate getting together one of these days.

The only daughter of Eleanor Waldorf smirked. She had known sucking Jenny in would be easy. Every girl wanted to be a princess or a queen and Blair had simply used that to her advantage. "Well first thing first we need to fix the mess you made with Nate. You should be lucky that I am letting this slide because I should punish you for your lack of obedience and yet I find myself wanting to see how deep your loyalties can run. As you know it is my birthday today and I am having a party. Usually freshmen are not invited, but I will give you a special pass. What you need to do for me Jennifer is go to Nate and tell him that you lied. Say that Penelope and the other girl's put you up to it. You see Chuck is his best friend and that bond could prove useful to me in the future so for now it is a secret between you and I. Tell him that and tell him you felt so horrible afterwards you came to me at my house and told me the truth and I being the kind person I am gave you a second chance. You have to make it believable and you have to get him to call me at midnight tonight. It is a tradition that I do not want to see broken any time in the near future. If you do this for me then you are one step closer to your goal of becoming queen."

Later that evening the party was in full swing and Blair couldn't be happier. Things seemed to be going smoothly since Jenny texted her minutes before saying Nate would indeed be calling her at midnight. Blair had been so overjoyed by the news she had even called the jewelers to see if any the pieces she had been put on hold had been picked up and to her joy the diamond necklace had been retrieved shortly after she put it on hold. The brunette could not help it when she did a jig of happiness upon hearing the news. As angry as she may be at Nate for all that he had done it sent a twinge in her heart knowing he still cared enough to get her something for her birthday.

As of right now Blair was on the balcony thinking about what she would do or say to Nate if he wanted to get back together with her. It was obvious she could never forgive him completely for what he had done to her, but he had been her first love and if she got back together with him it would guarantee that Chuck left her alone at least for the time being. The billionaire was not something she wanted to deal with right now or ever for that matter. If she had thought sleeping with Chuck would have gotten this kind of reaction from him then she would have re-thought her course of action. Why couldn't he just pull his usual style of ignoring her as he did with all the other women he slept with? That is what she wanted to happen, but of course he had to go and fuck up her plan of forgetting they had ever happened in the first place.

The door to the balcony opened and in walked the devil himself with his famous smirk. "Are you ready for your present?"

As soon as he got close enough Blair grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked his head to the side. Venom laced her words as he glared at him with hatred. "I thought you would've gotten the hint you were uninvited tonight."

Chuck winced before pulling out of her grasp. He rolled his neck before leaning against the railing and looking at her. She looked beautiful in her knee length black dress and chocolate curls piled on top of her head. "When has that ever stopped me before and when have I ever missed a Waldorf birthday party?"

She scoffed before turning away from him and looking out at the city. It was now ten and that meant only two hours until midnight. "I think you just wanted to stalk me."

"I think you like it." He replied in a snarky tone and continued to stare at her. He was Chuck fucking Bass and he could stare if he wanted to.

"I think you're delusional." Blair snapped and she whirled around and grabbed the ends of his scarf contemplating over whether she should strangle him or not. It would solve one of her many problems. In the end she settled for tying it very tightly around his neck. If she were lucky it would cut of circulation. "Do you like me or something?"

At this Chuck turned away from her because there was no way he was going to look her in the eye right now. "It would depend on your definition of like Waldorf. Do I like you as a friend? Well of course I do considering we have been friends as years, but I do not like you in the same friendly way I like Nathaniel. Do I like you in the same way I do as my father's business associates? No, I find then to be a bore. Do I like you like a boy should like a girl? Well I think I made that obvious the other night in the limo."

When his hand snaked out to settle on her thigh Blair jumped back as if she had been burned. "Oh my effing god! What rabbit hole did I fall in to that took me to this bizarre world that looks like Manhattan, but is most definitely not my Manhattan?"

"You think you're surprised?" The Bass heir snapped as he clenched his jaw. "I can't sleep and I haven't been able to eat due to my stomach being sick. I feel like there is something inside fluttering and I can't make it stop. This is your entire fault you know."

"What kind of ass backwards logic is that?" She hissed narrowing her eyes in anger. "It's not my fault you developed this sick fascination with me. If you don't do something to kill those butterflies then I swear that I will. I'll force feed you poison if I have to!"

Chuck took a step in her direction though the movement was not hostile and Blair wasn't sure if that made it better or worse. "You kissed me remember? You started this whole thing!"

"Something I plan to remedy by kicking you out of my party." Blair told him crossing her arms over chest. "I want you to leave right this instant. It can be your gift to me. I do not have time for all of this. I am waiting for a very important phone call."

"From Nate?" Chuck inquired as he looked at the cell clutched in her hand desperately. "Are you really still holding on to this farce of a relationship you have with him? You need to face facts that it is over and done with. He's moved on and so should you. Look I am willing to make you a deal. If he calls you tonight at midnight then I will leave you alone forever, but if he doesn't then you have to spend the night with me."

"I will not!" The queen B nearly screamed as she shoved him away from her. How dare he proposition her at her birthday party of all places? "You are disgusting and I want nothing to do with you."

"Do you doubt his loyalty to you?" The resident playboy challenged with a raised eyebrow. "If he loves you as much as you like to think then making this bet shouldn't concern you. Tell me Waldorf are you scared I might win or are you afraid that you will actually enjoy it when I do?"

"You're going to lose Bass." Blair told him as she quickly fled. She needed to get away from that smarmy bastard so that she could regroup. He'd caught her off guard by admitting to liking her, but she was sure it was just another one of his games. She would make sure she did not fall for his lines. She was smarter than that. She was Blair Waldorf and Blair Waldorf wouldn't be another victim to the likes of him and his smooth a molasses words.

Chuck smirked as she walked off. She may think that Nate would call her, but Chuck Bass always had an ace up his sleeve. By the end of the night he would have Blair right where he wanted her, underneath him and moaning his name. He could not wait for the rest of the evening to unfold. He never would've made the bet if there had been a chance he could lose.

TBC…

"Careful Bass you are starting to sound like you care about someone other than just yourself."

"Would it be such a bad thing if I did?"

"Is that a confession?"
