No one can tear us apart
Again thank-you to everyone who has read my story now let's continue...
Starr's heart began thumping loud in her ears as she recognized the voice MOM?
"Is there someone in here?" Blair called hearing slight movement.
"Uh Blair?" a voice said tapping on her shoulder.
She turned around to see Marcie McBain standing behind her wearing a normal red dress and golden earrings with her own mask in her hands "Hi Marcie".
"Are you talking to someone?" Marcie asked.
Before Blair could answer Dorian came "Blair darling come, the next dance is about to start oh hello Marcie".
"But I..." Blair started to say
"No time to fix your hair!" Dorian interrupted "c'mon let's go" she grabbed her niece and started dragging her back to the dance floor.
Marcie shrugged entering the bathroom.
Starr, who had heard the whole conversation thought all the women were gone so without putting her mask back gone, she came out.
Seeing her reflection in the mirror, Marcie turned around "Starr?"
"Oh shoot!" Starr exclaimed heading back into the stall.
"Wait!" Marcie yelled at the closed door.
She placed her ear against it "Starr is that you?"
A loud bang was heard; "Yeah" a voice mumbled, "it's me".
Marcie smiled clapping her hands seeing her former student after all these years.
Starr came out of the stall "Hello Mrs. McBain".
The smile on Marcie's face did not disappear as she gave her a hug "hi Starr, it's good to see you again".
To make her aunt stop bugging her, Blair danced twice with John before heading back to her table.
While he used the washroom Blair thought she might go with him to look another time in the girl's washroom but decided not to. It's probably nothing Blair thought that girl is just a normal party guest; maybe my thoughts just drove me away. Then Victoria made her way down to the table where her 'competition' was sitting at.
"Hi Claire" she said.
"It's Blair" Blair corrected "and if your purpose here is to get on my nerves all night then leave".
"I'm not" Victoria said, "I really did forget your name... BLAIR and no I'm not here to bother you".
"Oh is that so?" Blair said "then why are you here?"
"Just want to give your heads up that your ex-husband will probably tell you we made out in the washroom, but that's not true".
"Why are you telling me this?"
Victoria took a seat beside her "because I don't want you to get upset just because of Todd's crap".
"Well I won't" Blair said firmly "I'm over Todd now and starting a new relationship in my life".
"Ah yes" Victoria smirked "that cop you came with tonight John McBain, what a hottie I must say".
''Listen!" Blair snapped grabbing her arm "If you put one finger on John I'll..."
"Relax!" Victoria interrupted taking her arm away "Blair I'm not here to spoil your whole night, believe me''.
Blair crossed her arms over her chest still unconvinced.
Victoira sighed "all right I'll prove it to you" she paused pouring herself a glass of wine and sat back "I wasn't really Todd's date''.
"What?" Blair said getting interested.
"Apparently Todd wanted to bring this other girl" Victoria explained "but for some reason she couldn't make it so he found me at work and paid me to come and humiliate you with him".
Blair smirked facing the other way "well that sure sounds like him" then she faced back to Victoria "but why are you spoiling the plans?"
"Because honey I like you" Victoria said "the way you stood up to him really impressed me, you certainly showed him you're not going down without a fight and I haven't been in a relationship with him before but I know that when Todd wants something he will do everything he can to get it done even if the people he loves or once loved get hurt so be aware". That was the last thing she said before leaving with her glass.
Blair tapped her fingers gently on the table thinking about her daughter Starr "Yeah I know".
