Hey all! So I got a few reviews yesterday that were a bit disappointed in the fact that my last chapter wasn't quite as angsty as the entire episode of A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate was. I took the direction that I took with the chapter because as I watched the episode over, I noticed that look in Chuck's eyes as he watched Blair walked out of the bar after he called her all those vile names. He looked sad, almost regretful to have said them. But his pride didn't allow him to outright apologize for them (not at least until the wedding episode when they danced). I also watched The Blair Bitch Project, which had hardly any Chuck/Blair scenes, but the ones that did (the look Chuck gave Blair as he spotted her walking into Constance with the entire student body whispering about her, and when Blair looked at Chuck at the foot of the Met steps with Eric) it didn't seem as if there was that much anger between them. Both were engrossed in other things I guess. And then the following episode after that Desperately Seeking Serena, when Blair and Chuck pass each other in the beginning of the episode, Blair scowls at him and Chuck smirks at her and I just find that as part of their little game.

Also I tried to make it seem as if Chuck was a bit drunk in that scene I wrote, from the glass of liquor in his hand (meaning he'd been drinking the entire night since the part where he insulted Blair at the bar), the way his robe hung open (very unlike Chuck to look sloppy), and the way his speech was slurred as he spoke to Serena. Sorry if I didn't make it clear that he was suppose to be a bit wasted. Basically, I feel the scene I wrote could've been plausible considering he already cared for Blair in a way he didn't care admit to himself, and so he wanted to set things back on neutral ground for them. And besides, they need to have this game going on to make the next few episodes work, considering the next three episodes or so hardly have any interaction with them, as the series focuses on the whole Serena/Georgina ordeal.

OK, well sorry if I let anyone down with my last chapter, but these were the reasons for me to write the chapter the way that I did. I'll try harder to make them better for those of you who are having doubts with my writing, and for those of you that still enjoy it, thanks! :-)


The Blair Bitch Project

Chuck watched with unwanted remorse as Blair and Serena scurried inside the school building after Blair had been plucked in the head with a scoopful of yogurt. Not that it wasn't effing hilarious to watch the Queen B being brought down a peg or two, but it was all his doing and he knew that very well. She deserves it Bass. She deserves it. Just let it go.

Chuck turned around to the view above the steps and spotted Little Jenny Humphrey laughing it up with Hazel, Penelope and Is. The congregation of bitches left a sour taste in his mouth and he would've enjoyed nothing more than stripping that Brooklynite wannabe of the undeserved attention she was getting. But if he knew Blair, which he did more than she cared to admit it, she would be handling that on her own very soon. But right now, Blair was broken and frail. And the worst part about it was that he had made her that way.

Ignoring the nagging voice in his head chanting "She deserved it. She deserved it.", Chuck made his way inside the Constance building and walked casually down the hallway to the restrooms he had gotten to know very well in his three years attending St. Judes. He smiled smugly to himself, remembering the times that he had been in there with Blair herself, the times when things seemed perfect between them, and their affair seemed to never want to end.

He spotted Serena exiting the bathroom and jogged to catch up with her. "How's Tasti D-Lite?" Chuck asked sarcastically as he caught up with Serena, earning himself a scowl as she turned to walk away from him.

"She's perfect. She smells like milk well past its prime. How would you be?" Serena bit out angrily as she hurried to make her way to her locker.

"Where are you headed to, sis?" Chuck asked as he leaned against the wall leading to the bathroom.

"Away from you, thankfully. I'm going to get some stuff to rid B's hair of all that gunk."

Chuck watched as Serena hurried away, and he took the opportunity to slip into the bathroom.

"Come out. Come out. Wherever you are..." Chuck taunted softly as he scanned the bathroom and found it empty. He walked over to the only closed bathroom stall and knocked lightly.

"I have no idea what the hell you think you are doing in here," came the low voice from inside the stall.

"Still using the same stall are you, Waldorf? Seems you enjoyed your time in there as much as I did," Chuck laughed, the grin noticeable in his voice.

Blair stood and quickly vacated the stall, slamming open the door and rolling her eyes hatefully at Chuck. Avoiding contact with him as he casually leaned against the other stalls, she walked over to the sink and began assessing the mess of her hair in the bathroom mirror.

"Don't worry, Waldorf. That mess will be gone in no time. Serena may not be skilled at many things, but she is quite the beautician to pull off that look of hers every day."

Blair squinted her eyes angrily at him through the mirror and then turned to face him. "Incestuous to boot. God Bass you really have no redeeming qualities do you?" Blair shot out rudely as she crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot impatiently.

Chuck chuckled low in his throat before he responded, "Jealous? Don't worry, Waldorf. I like the look you pull off much better. Yogurt and all," he said softly as his eyes roamed her entire body.

Blair fought hard to keep the smile from forming on her lips, relying instead on her infamous scowl as she turned back around and began to run the water and work on her hair. "Flattery, Bass, will get you nowhere with me."

"Yeah? Then what will?" Chuck continued speaking in that low voice that caused shivers to run up and down her spine. She spotted him walking closer to her through the mirror and felt her pulse jump at the dark look in his eyes.

For goodness sakes, Blair. You hate him. H.A.T.E. Him!

"I suggest you don't take that final step," Blair whispered as she looked into his eyes as he stood behind her.

Chuck grinned. "I don't back down from a challenge easily."

"Neither do I. And if you don't want my Jimmy Choo's in your crotch, you'll learn that fast. Or else I'll have to show you the hard way."

"I love it when you talk dirty, Blair," Chuck smirked as he leaned forward and whispered the words across her ear.

"I'd love it if you'd leave me alone," Blair whispered softly as she tried to ignore the heat rushing down her neck at the feel of his breath caressing her skin.

"For how long?" Chuck whispered against her ear again, his eyes looking at her through the mirror. He smiled as he watched Blair's eyes fluttering closed and the heaving breath expanding her chest.

"Let's start with forever. We'll work our way up from there," Blair muttered, her eyes still closed, but her words surprisingly witty.

Chuck laughed, and Blair allowed herself a small grin. "We'll see how long you'll be able to resist me."

"Longer than you. You're the one stalking me still," Blair turned and eyed him smugly, returning his infamous smirk.

Chuck frowned. "Oh please."

"Ah. And no witty repertoire. Those butterflies must be giving you hell."

Chuck's scowl deepen as he stared down at her, with her eyes gleaming viciously and victoriously. "Keep smiling Yoplait. We'll see who does the begging."

Blair reddened at the reminder of the yogurt still stuck in her hair and turned away from him. "You're dismissed, Bass."

"You're a bitch, Waldorf," Chuck bit out as he opened the door and exited the bathroom.

A/N: So what did you guys think? Better? Still too perky? Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed. Next up... Desperately Seeking Serena.
