A/N: I know this took a very long time to get up. Sorry. I have had the worst few weeks these past few weeks. Exams. Essay. Drama. All rolled into one. So I put the writing off. However I finally got this done. Please note just in case, there is nothing to explicit in this chapter. You will see what I mean.

Just some quick things about the previous reviews. Georgina and Chuck have not slept together. They have no history in this story unlike in the show. Georgina will be featuring :) that's all I'm saying.

Also this story only has about 10 to 11 chapters left. There will be lots of drama in the upcoming chapter and I want to try and get this story completed by Christmas time. Also I have another idea for a Gossip Girl story which I can not get out of my head. Enough of this though!

Please keep reviewing they keep me writing. And thank you to all who review!

Enjoy!

Chapter 20: A moment Alone Together

Blair almost didn't notice the figure sitting on the bench with his head in his hand. She made her way over and sat down next to Dan. She placed a hand on his back to let him know someone was there. He sat up immediately and looked at Blair. He then put his head back in his hands.

'Humphrey, why are you sulking?' she asked a moment later. He looked back up at her.

'That was very sensitive of you, Blair,' he replied. She cocked her head at him and he sighed, 'let's forget I ever said that.' He added a moment later once he realised what he had said. Blair gave a small laugh.

'Done. Seriously, though what is wrong?'

'Serena... I think I'm losing her.' Blair shifted uncomfortably remembering what happened the other day.

'So fight for her,' she stated a moment later. 'Show her you care.'

'It's not that easy.'

'What's complicated about it?' Dan held Blair's gaze.

'Vanessa.' Blair moaned.

'I would really like to slap that girl.' She stated angrily. Dan couldn't help the smile that spread across his face.

'Calm down, Waldorf, let me explain. What I mean is that Serena doesn't believe that there isn't anything going on with me and Vanessa.' She sighed and put a hand on Dan's knee.

'Then we'll just have to find a way to make her believe.' Dan stared at her and then gave her a small nod- grateful that Blair was his friend. They both sat there on the bench for awhile longer.


Nate sat down and began to stare at Chuck rather intently.

'Archibald, are you going to say something or keep staring at me?'

'You kind of owe me one, after that night I got Blair away from Chace for you.'

'Where is this going?' Chuck said slightly amused. He didn't need to owe Nate one to help him with something. He would do it regardless.

'I need you to help me do something for Vanessa...' he trailed off and waited for Chuck to respond.

'Ok. Something like what?' The two continued to talk for a further forty five minutes until Chuck left to go and get ready. He was meeting Blair in about an hour's time. They were going to the club slash restaurant which was technically Chuck's creation. He got ready and made his way over to Blair's dorm. He knocked on the door and waited. A minute later Blair opened it and smiled at him. Chuck barely got to take in the red dress she was wearing, when he felt her grab his tie and pull him into a kiss. She ran her hands through his hair and down his neck. He was finding it hard to concentrate. He took in the moment and let his hands trail across Blair's body. She moaned and then pulled away.

'Hi,' she said and smiled at him. Chuck grinned at her and placed his one hand against the wall- ensuring that she couldn't escape from him just then. He leaned in and kissed her again.

'Hi,' he mumbled against her lips. He pulled back and looked at her. He tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and stroked her cheek. 'This was some hello.' He added a moment later. Blair sighed happily and felt Chuck take her hand.

'Should we get going?' she asked him a moment later. He gave a small nod and placed a kiss on her forehead before leading her out the door.


Serena looked at her phone and almost threw it across the room. For the past hour she had been getting calls or messages nearly every five minutes. She just wanted to be left alone. She checked to see who was calling and immediately sent the call to voice mail. She got up and grabbed her bag. She was just going to get a cup of coffee and then come back and finish off her work. That was all she felt like doing tonight and she was determined to make sure that happened. She left her room and made her way to the on campus coffee shop. There weren't many people around campus however, the coffee shop was full. She walked in and joined the line to place an order. She had been there for five minutes when she noticed two figures sitting down at table. She was tempted to turn around and walk out, but she figured they probably wouldn't notice her. She watched them for a bit – they did not look happy. She finally reached the front and placed her order. She then moved to the side to wait for it. She almost reached for her phone (so it would seem as though she was busy) when she realised she had left it in her dorm. She looked back at the counter hoping her order would be ready, when she heard her name being yelled out. She groaned and tried to pretend she hadn't heard it. Except, she had instinctively looked over at the person who had called out for her. She inwardly groaned and walked over to the table which seated a very tense looking Nate and Vanessa.

'Hi,' she said when she reached them.

'You want to sit down?' Nate asked her. She shook her head.

'I'm just waiting on an order,' she pointed back towards the counter. 'So I'll see you guys around then.' She added a moment later and turned to leave.

'Serena!' Serena turned back and plastered on a fake smile.

'Yes, Vanessa?'

'Dan has been trying to get a hold of you,' Vanessa gave her a curious look. Serena kept her face neutral and just stared at her. She eventually realised she would have to reply.

'I don't have my phone with me,' she stated and looked over at Nate who had his head in his hands.

'Well, he asked me if I've seen you and considering I now have, maybe you and I should go find him?' Vanessa stated seriously. Serena bit back the reply that had jumped in to her head at the suggestion.

'Vanessa-' Nate began in a pleading voice, she turned to him and quickly cut him off.

'I now you want me off your hands, Nate, Serena here-' That was the last straw for Serena when she saw how crushed Nate looked.

'Vanessa,' she interrupted firmly, 'how about I take Nate off your hands? His actually my friend and I'm sure my boyfriend would rather see you, without me being there, anyway.' She looked over at Nate and grabbed his hand. He was too shocked to protest against Serena dragging him away. She shot one last look at Vanessa and walked over to the counter- dragging Nate with her- got her coffee and swiftly left the coffee shop. They had been walking for a few minutes when Nate finally managed to gather his thoughts.

'That was...' he began and laughed at the look Serena shot him. She was evidently irritated. He continued a moment later. 'That was something.' He shook his head and gave a small laugh. 'Where did that come from?' Serena sighed and stopped walking. She turned to him.

'Look, I'm sorry she just irritated me and then that comment...and then I saw you... and sorry the words just came-'

'Serena!' Nate yelled out and she immediately stopped talking. 'Why are you apologising? That was kind of hot.' Serena laughed. She knew Nate had just said that to try and make her feel a bit better about going off at Vanessa.

'Anyway, what is going on with you two?' Nate shrugged his reply and they resumed walking. 'You still want to date her?' Serena asked and noticed Nate stop walking and again shrug and then nod. 'You were always a man of many words.' Serena added a moment later and grabbed Nate's arm. 'Come on, this coffee is terrible and I actually want a proper cup of coffee.' She threw her cup away and they left to go to another coffee shop. Serena also knew that this would help Nate talk about what was going on in his head.


Blair laughed and smacked Chuck lightly. He grinned and spun her out and then in towards him. They were busy dancing in the club. They really were having a good time- they had been dancing, laughing and couldn't keep their hands off each other. Just then Blair noticed the lights in the club change and that the music had changed as well. She looked at Chuck and then at the stage in the club. She turned around to look at what was going on. A moment later she felt Chuck wrap his arms around her waist, she leaned into him.

'What's going on?' she asked him.

'It's a competition, keeps the crowd interested,' Chuck said and then kissed her neck.

'What's the prize?' Blair asked. She was trying hard to concentrate on the stage and not on Chuck's lips on her neck.

'Bottle of champagne,' he mumbled. A smile spread across her lips. She turned around in Chuck's arm.

'I'm going to go win us that bottle,' she placed a small kiss on his lips. She tried to step away but Chuck held her in place.

'Waldorf, I can just buy us a bottle,' Chuck said reluctant to let her go. She gave a small laugh.

'It's more fun this way.' Blair stated and moved out of Chuck's grasp. She began to walk to the stage. Looking back only once and giving Chuck a cheeky smile. Chuck watched her walk on stage and grab the attention of everyone in the club. In moments she had eliminated the competition and much to Chuck's annoyance had captured every guy's interest in the club. Chuck could not believe it. He watched them hand her the bottle of Champagne, she took it, and caught his gaze smiling at him. She walked off the stage and made her way through the crowd. Straight towards him. Chuck immediately wrapped an arm her waist, when she was close enough to him, showing the guys who were still watching her that they needed to back off. He then pulled her in for a kiss; she immediately responded and wrapped her free hand around his neck. Chuck pulled her closer and ran a hand up her back. He felt Blair shiver at the contact and felt his own body begin to tingle when she moved her hand from his neck to his collar bone. Blair wasn't concentrating on anything else but this moment. It was only when she felt the bottle of Champagne slipping from her hand, did she realise they will still in the club. She pulled away.

'You are incredible,' Chuck said to her. Blair laughed.

'Come on Bass, let's get out of here.' She took a hold of his hand and they left the club together.


'So that's it?' Serena asked Nate incredulously. He nodded and scrunched his eyebrows together.

'You really aren't worried that Vanessa and Dan may be having a thing? The biggest issue between the two of you is that she doesn't trust you, because you failed to tell her about the feelings you had for me?' Serena quickly summarised what Nate had been telling her. 'Seriously?' Nate laughed.

'Seriously, Serena,' he said and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, 'I do not think Dan is a problem or that they're having something.' Serena stood up from the bench they had been sitting on and began to walk towards her dorm room. Nate followed.

'Well, I do,' she stated seriously. Nate put a hand and stopped her from entering the building her room was in.

'Dan isn't an idiot. He isn't going to give you up, Serena.' She scoffed. Nate gave her a smirk and placed a kiss on her cheek. 'Trust me, Van Der Woodsen.' She again scoffed at him.

'See you around, Archibald.' she said softly and entered the building heading up to her dorm. They had gone for coffee, a walk and had finally discussed Nate and Vanessa. She had she told him she needed to get back to her work and Nate was fine with that, he told her he would talk to her about it more at a later stage. Serena entered her room and checked her phone. She had quite a few miss calls from Dan. She sighed and sat down on the couch and tried to clear her head, which was suddenly filled with more confusing thoughts than which had originally been there.


Chuck and Blair made their way back to campus. They still hadn't opened the bottle of champagne.

'What now, Waldorf?' Chuck asked. She looked at him and took a step towards him.

'I do believe we have a bottle of alcohol to drink?' she held it up. He laughed and took another step towards her.

'Where would you like to drink that?' he asked her. Blair considered this for a moment.

'We're closer to your room.' She added a moment later. He took another step towards her.

'I don't know if that's such a good idea...' he trailed off as Blair took a step closer to him.

'You're generally not the best judge when it comes to deciding which ideas are good or bad, Bass,' she said and he took a step closer to her giving her a giving her a smirk. Blair leaned up and placed a small kiss on his lips. Chuck pulled back and took her hand. He then took the bottle out of her other hand and opened it.

'We might as well start drinking now then,' he took a sip of the bottle and gave it to Blair who also took a sip. She laughed and they made their way over to Chuck's room. He opened the door and let Blair go in. She entered and put the bottle down on a table. They hadn't drunk anymore than the sip they each had earlier taken from the bottle. Chuck walked over to Blair and watched her look around his room and then finally look at him. He was about to say something when she walked over to him and grabbed his tie pulling him towards her. He immediately let her and pulled her into a kiss. The kiss was intense- alot more intense than any of their others had been. Chuck realised this and pulled away.

'Should I pour you a glass of-' he began as an attempt to bring the intensity down a level.

'No,' she said and held his gaze.

'Blair...'he said softly. She didn't break the eye contact and instead placed a small kiss on his lips. She then pulled back and tried to gage his reaction. A moment later she kissed him again and he deepened the kiss. Blair slipped a hand under his shirt. Loving the feel of his skin. She felt him move a hand up the side of her body and then move to the back of her dress. He unzipped her dress and then trailed his fingers across the now exposed skin. It set her skin on fire. Chuck broke the kiss and placed a kiss on her neck before looking at her. 'Are you sure?' he asked her softly. She nodded and began to remove his tie and unbutton his shirt. Chuck fully unzipped Blair's dress and it fell to the floor just as she removed his shirt and dropped it to the floor. Chuck captured her lips once more, Blair let her hands run across his exposed chest and fully take in the feel of him. He moved his hand up and down her back and then tangled the one in her hair. They were both getting completely lost in the moment and each other.


Chuck woke up, it took him a moment to gather his senses. A second later the memories of the night before came back to him and he smiled. He looked to his side and saw Blair still fast asleep, with her head resting on his one arm. He shifted and slightly moved her so he could wrap his arms around her. She automatically adjusted to the movement and placed her head on his chest. Chuck began to stroke her hair and continued to let her sleep. He was drifting back to sleep when he heard a knocking at the door. He groaned inwardly and decided not to answer it- he assumed the person would eventually get the hint. The knocking however continued on and it got louder. He felt Blair begin to stir. She finally groaned.

'Make it stop,' she mumbled out. Chuck laughed at the response.

'I need to get out of the bed then.' he added a moment later. He felt Blair sigh and move off him. He placed a kiss on the top of her head. A minute later he went and opened his door.

'That took you a long time!'

'Archibald, what are you doing here this early?' Chuck asked slightly irritated.

'I have an idea-'

'Nate, can we do this later?'

'No,' Nate stated and moved into the room. He made his way over to the couch and Chuck followed.

'Archibald, this really isn't a good time.' Nate raised his eyebrows looking at him for an explanation. Chuck didn't say anything. 'If you don't tell me why it's a bad time, I'm not leaving.' Just then Blair emerged from the bedroom in a shirt of Chuck's.

'Morning, Nate,' she said. Nate looked at her and then back at Chuck. He grinned at him.

'Right, sorry, I'll see you at lunch then, Chuck.' Nate said and stood up he turned to Blair quickly. 'Morning, Waldorf and goodbye.' Nate swiftly left the room. Chuck shook his head and walked over to Blair. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

'You didn't have to come out,' he said and kissed her neck. Blair began playing with his hair.

'He wouldn't have left, if I hadn't come out.' She then lifted his head from her neck and placed a small kiss on his lips. Chuck hands went under the shirt he was wearing and he took in the feel of her skin. She moaned and broke the kiss dragging him back to the bedroom.


Serena woke up and looked at her phone. She then heard a knocking at her door and made her way over to it. She opened the door and stood there... shocked.

'Dan?' she asked when he didn't say anything. He walked into the room.

'Serena, what's going on with you? You haven't returned any of my calls?'

'I've been busy,' she said firmly and folded her arms.

'Serena, please don't do this,' Dan said and walked over to her. He placed his hand on her arm. 'I miss you.' He said and then kissed her forehead. Serena closed her eyes and savoured the moment. She did miss Dan as well but still need to get her thoughts ordered before she decided anything.

'Dan, can we talk about this later?' she asked and then softly kissed him. 'I have to get ready.' With that she left to go have a shower.


Blair's lectures were finally over for the day. She was going to meet Chuck at the on campus coffee shop. She found him sitting at a table with a coffee already there for her. He smiled at her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.

'So I was thinking tonight-' Chuck had begun but was interrupted when Blair's phone went off.

'Sorry, its Dan give me a minute,' she said to Chuck and then answered her phone. 'Hey Dan. I'm at the coffee shop. Dan?' She looked at Chuck and then ended the call. 'Dan's on his way here.' Chuck sighed irritated. He was dying to have a moment alone with Blair. Two minutes later Dan sat down at their table. He looked between the two.

'Blair, I need to steal you away.' Was the first thing Dan said.

'For how long?' Chuck suddenly asked.

'The rest of the day.' Dan said and grabbed her hand. 'Please.' Blair sighed and stood up with Dan.

'Sorry,' she said to Chuck and gave him a peck on the lips. Dan and Blair left the coffee shop.

'What's wrong, Dan?'

'I really need you to help me with, Serena.' He said and they began to walk to his dorm to think of an idea to show Serena how much Dan cared.


It was two days later and Chuck was beyond irritated. For the past two days every moment he had, had alone with Blair had been interrupted by either Dan or Nate. At one stage even Serena had added to the interruptions. Even their breakfast this morning had been interrupted. He was now sitting in his lecture wishing he could rather see her, when he looked up and noticed a figure entering into the room. A smile immediately spread across his lips. He watched Blair walk over to the lecturer and a bit of confusion began to set in.

'Sir,' he heard Blair begin. 'Sorry for the interruption but there has been an emergency and Chuck Bass is needed.' She looked at the lecturer and dropped her gaze and then looked back up at the lecturer. 'It's bad.' She added softly a moment later. The lecturer then caught Chuck's gaze.

'Chuck, you should go.' Chuck immediately stood up and grabbed his things. He walked over to Blair and then walked out with her.

'What's going on?' he asked worriedly when outside. She looked at him and smiled.

'Nothing,' she intertwined her hand with his, 'I made up an excuse to get you out. I didn't want to tell you because I needed you to look genuinely concerned.' Blair then stopped in front of a door. She opened it and pulled Chuck into the empty class room. 'I just want a moment alone with you.' She said. He then watched her lock the door. Chuck laughed and moved to Blair who was now sitting on top of a table. He immediately pulled her into a kiss and she wrapped her legs around his waist pulling her closer.

'So much better than a lecture.' Chuck mumbled against her lips. He could feel a smile spreading across her lips. He was suddenly grateful that he had found Blair. She constantly kept surprising him in a way no one else ever had before.
