Flirting With Danger – Chapter 14
"Chuck! Can me and Nate catch a ride on your jet?" Serena pleaded as they sipped drinks at the Palace bar.
"You and Nate?" Chuck raised his eyebrows.
Serena showed off the large diamond ring on her finger, "we're engaged!"
"Took you long enough," he rolled his eyes. "Where do you guys want to go anyway?"
Serena frowned. "France of course. That's where she's getting married."
"Who?" Chuck looked puzzled.
"Uh...Blair? My best friend. Remember her? You had sex with her in the back of a li - "
"Wait...what?!" Chuck cut her off. "She's getting married?" He's spent four days searching for her in France and had been unable to locate her. She was getting married?!
"Oh. I thought she invited you..." Serena looked down guiltily. Blair probably didn't want him around at her wedding.
"Well obviously, I'm not worthy," he sneered. "Then again...the best parties to attend are the ones you aren't invited to."
"You know what? Nate and I will just...fly commercial," Serena said hastily.
"No. I insist. So when is this wedding?" Chuck smirked and leaned back in his chair. So Waldorf had been engaged when they'd had sex? Wow. She had cheated on her fiance with him! No wonder she left so abruptly.
"The day after tomorrow," Serena sighed, trying to think of an explanation for Chuck's presence. Surely Blair would be furious.
"Perfect. I'll get the jet ready."

"Jason it's gorgeous!" Blair exclaimed as she got off the helicopter that had brought them to the beach. She kissed him lightly on the lips. "It's perfect."
"Well, considering the fact that I did this all by myself...I think I deserve more than just a chaste kiss on the lips," he grinned cheekily and snaked hir arms around her waist, pulling her in for a more passionate kiss.
"Serena! Hey! When are you getting your ass over here?" Blair shrieked into her phone, quickly pulling away from the kiss.
"B! Oh my gosh, you're actually getting married! I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to meet Jason!" Serena squealed excitedly.
"You didn't answer my question, S. When are you getting here? I want to pick you up from the airport!"
"Oh you really don't have to," Serena started.
"No, Serena! I haven't seen you in ages. I am definitely going to pick you up," Blair interrupted. "So are you flying commercial?"
"No...private plane," Serena said crossing her fingers and hoping that Blair wouldn't ask whose private plane she was coming in. "I'm coming with Nate."
"Oh. He has a jet?" Blair asked, impressed.
"Guess what? Me and Nate are engaged!" Serena changed the subject swiftly.
"What? Are you joking?" Blair asked dubiously. Serena was silent. "Oh my god, Serena! You're engaged to Nate!"
"Yeah, I am," Serena smiled. Blair didn't sound jealous at all! In fact, she sounded truly happy. "So we'll be there around 10am tomorrow yeah?"
"Great. Me and Jason will be there to pick you up!" Blair hung up.
"Serena?" Jason smiled at her. "Your best friend right?"
Blair nodded. "She's engaged to Nate - my ex-boyfriend."
"Hmm. Now where were we?" Jason murmured and pulled her closer to him, gently kissing her lips.
Blair suddenly felt a wave of frustration. Why am I still so unhappy? She was getting married in two days to sweet, handsome, Jason Rhodes. He loved her and she loved him. Right?
Chuck Bass was just...a mistake. A huge mistake.

"Nate! Serena!" Blair hugged both of them simultaneously. "When's the wedding?" she asked happily.
"That's not important now, Blair. You're getting married tomorrow!" Serena squealed.
"If I had a dollar for every time she said that...I'd be a millionaire by now," Nate grinned.
"Well it seems like you're already a millionaire. Didn't you fly her here by private plane?" Blair teased.
"Actually, the plane was mine." She heard a disturbingly familiar voice behind her.
"Congratulations on the wedding, Blair," Chuck tried to smile but it came off as grimace.
"Thank you," Blair didn't make eye contact with him and turned to Jason.
"This is Serena, my best friend. And she's engaged to Nate," Blair introduced them.
"I'm Chuck Bass." Chuck shook Jason's hand.
"I'm Blair's future husband," Jason wrapped his arm possessively around her waist.
"We'll see about that..." Chuck muttered under his breath causing Serena and Nate to look at Blair confusedly.
"Ignore him. He's delusional," she whispered as Jason called for someone to load the luggage into the waiting Mercedes.
--
"How is Chuck Bass related to you? Is he an ex?" Jason asked her worriedly.
Blair shook her head, "no. He's just Nate's best friend." And I slept with him while I was engaged to you! She thought to herself guiltily. "Why do you ask?"
Jason sighed, "I don't know...he just...makes me feel uncomfortable. Haven't you noticed? He can't take his eyes off you!"
"What? No way," Blair took a quick glance in the rear view mirror of the car. Shit. He was watching her every move. "Jason, we're getting married tomorrow! I'm already yours," she smiled and squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"I know," he paused. "But the way Chuck looks at me...it's like he's competing with me. I just get the feeling that he's plotting against me or something."
"Oh shut up, you fool," Blair murmured and kissed him.
"Hey could you increase the volume? I love this song!" Serena tapped Blair on the shoulder.
The seductive beat filled the car and Blair gasped in shock. She knew this song. She knew it very well.
"Oh hey Blair, remember this song?" Chuck smirked. "Wasn't this the song playing when you danced for me at Victrola's?"
"You danced for him?" Jason looked at her, his eyes wide in disbelief.
"I did not," Blair lied unconvincingly.
"Blair, it's not good to lie to your future husband, you know," Chuck said seriously. "Has she told you anything about how she lost her vir - "
"Chuck! Please shut up," Blair hissed.
"We need to talk, Blair," Jason glared at her.
"I think I'll just listen to my iPod instead," Serena said in a small voice as Blair turned off the music and an awkward silence filled the car.

Please review if you have the time! Thanks for reading!
Oh & btw, the song I refer to is 'Stripper' by Soho Dolls. It's the one in episode 7 (Victor Victrola).
