A/N: Well the prom is in full swing. So much more Drama to come. Reviews appreciated. Enjoy
Eric sat at the table they had all been sitting at. He was actually enjoying himself. Who would have thought. He saw Serena and Dan coming towards him. They were giggling and having a good time. Dan went to get them some drinks, so Serena sat with Eric.
"So how's your night been so far?"
"It's actually been surprisingly fun."
Serena laughed.
"What, you thought that taking the-oh-so-pristine Blair would be boring? Where did you ever get that idea."
Eric noticed the sarcasm in her voice.
"Ha, ha. Very funny. You know you should be a stand up comedian."
She made a funny face and all he did was laugh.
"So where is Blair anyway?"
"She said she had to go to the bathroom. You don't think that she, um….."
Serena finally realized what he was implying.
"Oh, no, no. She actually promised to meet someone special at 9:30, so she left for that."
Eric felt his heart sink. He had actually grown to like Blair. But she had just come to be with someone else.
"Oh…."
Serena heard the sadness in his voice.
"Oh, Eric. She really did want to take you to the prom. She didn't use you."
Eric just looked up at Serena. I can't believe she wanted to meet another guy, he thought. He got up and went to get some fresh air, leaving Serena to sit by herself. In a matter of minutes, Dan came back with drinks.
"Where did Eric go?"
"Fresh air. Have you seen Blair?"
"Not since she was dancing with Eric."
"Oh. I need to go find her. I'll be right back."
She turned and went to find the petite brunette in the red dress. She didn't see a sign of her anywhere. She kept looking and asking, but no one had seen her. She check the time. 9:25, it read. Where could she be? Serena thought. She kept looking with out success. Meanwhile Blair sat on a bench on the roof of the hotel. She and her mystery man agreed to meet there. It was a nice view of the city. The warm breeze crept over her skin. She sat in the quiet until she heard someone coming. She turned to see him. She smiled. It was actually happening.
"Hello."
The mystery guy broke the silence. Blair replied..
"Hello."
"Why did you want to meet me?"
She stood up so she could get closer to him.
"I wanted to talk. About you and me."
"What about you and me?"
"You hurt me, but I hurt you more. You betrayed me, but what I did, I'm surprised that you still talked to me."
He just smiled. How could he forget Blair. He felt like she was his soul mate. He put his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. Blair breathed in his cologne.
"I am really grateful that you came to meet me."
"I'm glad that you asked me."
"I really am sorry for everything."
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be apologizing. I am still sorry for what I said. I was just angry at the time."
"You had every right to be."
He pulled her in tighter. She smiled.
"Blair?"
"Yeah."
"I love you. I never really got over you and there is something inside me yearning for you. Like my other half.'
She looked up and met his gaze.
"I love you too."
They leaned into kiss. It was like fireworks exploding. They both had needed it. It was their drug and they needed more. It was first gentle, but then things started to heat up when she shoved her tongue down his mouth. Normally, she wouldn't have been like that but something about him made her in to an animal. She liked it. They kept kissing. When they finally pulled away, he took out a key from his pocket.
"Not right now. Maybe later. Please?"
He shook his head. He knew they had to tell someone before they could do anything.
"Let's go back to the prom."
They rode the elevator down to the 1st floor. Once out, the proceeded to the ballroom where the prom was. They went back to the table. Blair noticed Serena.
"Serena. Where is Eric?"
Serena looked up at her.
"Blair, I need to talk to you."
"Sure."
They went out to an empty hallway where it was quieter.
"What is it?"
"You didn't tell Eric?"
"Tell him what?"
"That you were going to meet Chuck!"
"Well I'm sorry, I thought that I would hurt his feelings. It wasn't supposed to be like this."
Serena just looked at her. Blair broke the silence.
"Where is he?"
"He went out to get some air twenty minutes ago. Check the courtyard."
Blair left to go find Eric. Sure enough, he was sitting on a bench by himself in the courtyard.
"Hello Eric."
He looked up at her. His eyes looked angry.
"Don't you have some other guy to be with?"
Blair looked apologetic. She sat down beside him.
"Eric, I am so sorry for not telling you. I don't want you to think I was using you."
"How should I believe that. You're Blair Waldorf. Your supposed to make people feel horrible."
She looked down at her hem line trying to hide the tears. Is that what people really think of me? she thought. He looked back at her. His eyes more friendly than they were before.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."
She looked up.
"But it's true. I do make people feel horrible. Eric, I am sorry for hurting you. I didn't mean for any of this to effect you. But I truly am sorry."
She laid her hand on top his. She gave it a reassuring squeeze. He smiled.
"You are forgiven."
She was so happy. She leaned over and gave him a hug. He just kept on smiling. Neither of them realized that Hazel was there taking a picture with her phone. Once it was taken, she hurried inside to the bathroom, where Jenny waited.
"Looks like Blair and Eric are back on."
She showed Jenny the picture.
"I would have never have believed it."
Hazel sent it to gossip girl.
"That bitch is going to deserve everything that's coming for taking my date."
They heard the washroom door close. There stood Serena. She just smiled. Hazel approached her.
"I guess you must be proud."
Serena looked at her confused.
"Why?"
"Your best friend is dating your brother."
Hazel showed her the picture. Serena looked at her.
"Look, Hazel. I don't know what sick game your playing but you might as well quit because we all know your going to lose."
Serena left. She walked back to the table where Nate, Chuck, Eric, Dan and Blair were sitting. She sat next to Dan. Eric was sitting next to Blair who trying to fight her urge to touch Chuck. He was doing the same. Serena realized that Nate didn't know yet. She gulped. This could get nasty.
"Nate, I need to talk you for a minute."
He got up and followed Blair. The rest of them looked at him with saddened eyes. They all knew he would be heart-broken when he came back.
