I had never intended to fall asleep. I doubt that the brunette curled up in my arms had planned for it to happen either. I noticed her cellphone beeping from the night stand and I picked it up. She had received a text message from Nate saying that he was sorry, but something had come up and he couldn't make it. I smirked before deleting the message from her phone. She would never know that her boyfriend had written and instead chalk it up to him blowing her off yet again. I, of course, would be her to console her when she realized that he wasn't coming. Setting the phone back exactly where it had been I looked down at Blair who was still sleeping peacefully.

Her reaction to me being vampire had been odd. Any normal person would have thought I was insane and had me committed. Either that or they would have been terrified to the point their heart gave out. Not Blair though, she handled it like she handled everything life and I wasn't sure what to make of that. She had been so calm. It wasn't normal for her to react the way she had. Showing a little more emotion would have been better. For all I knew she could be having some sort of mental breakdown. Since I am not human I have no idea how that works. I guess I would have to wait and see what happened.

I decided to get up and go get something to drink. I did enjoy human food and drinks on occasion. The maid had left a few hours ago. I could smell her scent in the air, but it was stale and at least a couple of hours old. It looks as if I will have to get a drink on my own. It did not take me very long to find some orange juice and a bottle of vodka. I mixed the two fluids together before heading back up the stairs and taking a sip of the juice. When I opened the door to Blair's bedroom I immediately noticed that she wasn't on the bed sleeping. I let my eyes sweet across the room, but she wasn't there. I could smell her and so I knew that she hadn't gone very far. I closed my eyes and listened for her heartbeat. It would tell me where she had run off too.

I picked up the beating of her heart about half a second before Blair burst out of her closet straight towards me with a piece of sharp wood in her hands aimed directly in the direction of my heart. Grabbing her arm I twisted it up at the elbow to keep her from impaling me with the makeshift stake. Blair struggled to free her arm and went to hit me with the other, but I caught her wrist. Using some of my upper body strength I pushed her back until her knees hit the end of the bed and we both tumbled down with me landing on top of her. I pinned her arms to her sides and knocked the stake to the floor. Her dark eyes were on fire as she continued to struggle even though she knew very well she had no chance against beating my vampiric strength.

"What the hell are you doing Waldorf?" I snapped with a growl. I would rather she went back to being freaky calm because at least that I could handle that. "Did you really just try to pull a Buffy on me? What made you think that you could actually stake me?"

"You're a vampire and it works in the movies." She spat letting up on her struggles and glaring at me. "I'm not stupid you know. I've read enough books to know that you are only acting as if you like me so that you can butter me up before you rip my throat out. I would have set you on fire, but I didn't want to risk destroying the rest of my home."

Finally I let go of her arms and leaned back in a sitting position. "You wanted to kill me because you thought I will kill you. It would make sense if I hadn't done the exact opposite by saving your life when I brought you to the hospital. Don't you think that if I wanted you dead I would have done it by this point in time?"

She shot me a look letting me know that she did not buy my story for a fraction of a second. "You've made it clear that you like the game the hunt gives you. Well I am not going to play this game with you Bass. I won't become your next meal."

"I don't want to kill you." I told her calmly. "When are you going to get it through your head I care about you? If I didn't I would have told you what I was from the start, but I didn't because I did not want anything to happen to you. It was you who went looking for the truth Waldorf. You just couldn't leave well enough alone and I should kill you for what you know, but you see I can't. For some strange reason I can't do something that would physically hurt you."

Her dark brown eyes rolled. "Sure you don't Bass. Almost draining me dry was the most pleasant experience of my life."

Her sarcasm was not needed in my opinion. "That was an accident Blair. I never wanted to hurt you, but I was lost in the moment. I would never hurt you because I-"

When I paused she tilted her head slightly. "Because you what?"

"You know the reason Blair." I said not ready to say those three words consisting of eight letters. "You know the reason and so there is no reason for me to say it."

AN: I broke this chapter in half because I was not feeling well. The next chapter will pick up where this one left off. I would love to hear your thoughts though and I hope that you had a great Christmas. I am doing a Christmas one-shot series and if you request a one-shot I will write it for you even though Christmas has come to pass.

Please R&R like always!
