~They Belong Together~
Chapter 14. Don't wait for too long.
I do not own Gossip Girl or any of those characters. I am just using them for fan fiction.
"How the hell would I know the answer, when I was under the impression that you were back with Serena?" she continued.
"What?"he spat "that's ridiculous, I'm not back with Serena!"
"But that's what I thought then!"
"Why? Hadn't I made myself clear that night at the loft?"
Blair went speechless and lost her temper at once.
"I….I….Serena told me so, I had no reason not to believe her…"she muttered "Especially because I made myself pretty clear that night…I thought you moved on…Or more accurate, you moved back.." she smiled weakly.
"Then what are you doing here?" he asked.
She lowered her eyes and answered:
"Serena told me the truth and also told me you were leaving.."
"And how does that change things?"
She made eye-contact and simply said:
"Well..Here I am…Doesn't that say anything?"
He studied her face for several seconds, trying to get the meaning behind her words and actions. It was more than he ever expected, but less that he needed right now… He didn't want to guess anymore, to try and speculate the meaning behind their conversations. He was bored, he was done with that. He needed her to say it clear, if that was what she really was trying to say.
She eyed him back for those moments, her stare very intense but vulnerable at the same time.
When he took a better look, he saw something more than that in her eyes.
He was surprised when she spoke again.
"I've been hurt so many times in the past, because of the choices that I made, that I seriously doubt about them now.." she confessed.
"I won't hurt you Blair..Not intentionally…Ever.." he simply replied.
"I know…That's why I'm here…Because both my heart and mind tell me that this time…you…are different.."
He was so overpowered emotionally that he found no words to reply this time.
He clenched his jaw with uncertainty while she patiently waited for him to speak. That vulnerable look still in her face.
He reached for her shoulder with trembling, clumsy movements and it reminded him of their first kiss..
But this time, it was different..
His insides were clenched with excitement, not with anxiety and what he feared this time, wasn't the realization afterneath. He already knew that he liked her.
Hell, he did a lot more than like her, for over a year now.
She shivered but still made no move to rush the moment.
He approached her, closing the inches that stood between them..Her eyes were fixed to his, and glowed with anticipation..
He craved to kiss her for so many months, but relished those little moments before the actual kiss.
When her breath mixed with his, he couldn't delay it anymore..He bended to kiss her, but did it painfully slow, to give her enough time to protest or back off, if she wanted.
She did neither and soon his lips caught hers and engaged them to their first real kiss.
Not for an experiment.
Nor for a scheme.
This time, it was for real, because they both wanted it.
His lips played along with hers and he deepened the kiss, placing his both hands on her waist. She moved accordingly and placed her hands behind his neck, her fingers toying with his hair, while her tongue started to explore his mouth.
He feasted on her lips, trying to slice away the wasted time that they were apart, until someone made a noise beside them.
It wasn't until the noise became louder that they broke apart, continuing looking in each other's eyes.
He was stunned. She was smiling.
"I realized just today that I couldn't let you leave…that I needed you…"she smiled again, placed a peck on his lips and whispered "I know you love me…I love you too, Humphrey and that week after I saw you at the hospital was the worst I ever had.."
"Say that again Waldorf.." he commanded still his hands on her shoulders "And when you do, there's no going back..There's no Louis, no Chuck or whomever you can come up with , whose last name isn't Humphrey..And my dad is also in the forbidden list, just to make sure..So that leaves me the only Humphrey male in the family that I know of..No, technically there's Scott who's a Humphrey, but has his family's surname so I think that-"
"Shut up Humphrey..You are ruining the moment here…" she said half laughing, half serious.
He stopped immediately, considered her words and said again:
"You are right…No, you are right I'm ruining the moment but I gotta make sure you get it right Waldorf, that there's only me ahead from now on- Dan Humphrey- in case you haven't thought it and you wanna to back off or-"
"Oh for crying out loud Humphrey! How long has a girl to wait to be kissed by a Brooklynette?"
"Depends on the girl I'd say.." he teased. He smiled and chills run through her spine, because he was SO sexy when he smiled like that..
"Well, I'm not any girl you know…I'm Blair Waldorf!" she claims.
"Oh believe me, I know that very well! Well, I reckon about… 2 seconds?" he said and leaned again to kiss her not caring that people nearby stood watching them or taking photos.

"So are you in for Barcelona?" he says after a while..
"What? Barcelona? Are you kidding me?" she replies.
"What? I thought it would be one of your favorites in Europe?"
"Paris is more like it Humphrey, but in any case I can't go! I have nothing with me!"
"I will buy you some clothes there.."
She's lost to words for a minute.
"You will buy me clothes? You do realize that I don't wear just anything, right?" she says horrified at the prospect.
He laughs.
"If I may have a little say to that, I'd die to see you in jeans Waldorf!"
"Ha! I reckon you are a little confused here..I'm the one who has a say in your wardrobe not the other way around!"
"Have you got your passport with you?" he smiles, changing the subject because he knows when to resign or back off with Blair. "I think Marc Jacobs and Chanel do sell in Europe too..!"
She rolls her eyes and gets a flirtatious expression.
"What if I haven't got it? Would you drop the offer?"
"Hell no! It would just be a little more complicated but it would do..Well, have you?"
"Right here.." she smiles and indicates to her bag" and what happens when we go to Barcelona Humphrey?"
He stops for some seconds, appearing to be thinking deeply when he finally says:
"I was thinking, if you don't wanna wear common jeans, maybe you should try out my flannel collection…"
She smiles and prepares to tease back.
"I think I could, but if we are up for a private fashion show, why wear clothes at all?"
His jaw drops open in shock as his imagination instantly begins to discard items of her clothing.
"Isn't it really hot in here?" he mutters as soon as he can speak again.
"It is nothing compared to Barcelona's temperatures Dan…" she flirts again, enjoying watching him getting uncomfortable.
"Dan? Wow! Did I hear well? Did you just say my name?"
"It was about time, wasn't it?" she grabs him from his jacket and pulls him closer "So Dan, are you in for Barcelona or what?"
"Most definitely, so very much…" he captures her lips and the rest is history.
Two hours later, they are sitting next to each other on the plane to Barcelona. And this is the first stop of their so awaited journey!
