"So, you happy that you're fathers flying in for the holidays?" Serena asked as she sat down at the counter in Blair's kitchen.

'Yes! Why else would I be smiling?" Blair laughed as she grabbed the pumpkin pie recipe and sat down next to her best friend.

"Maybe because things are good with a boy."

Blair's laughed ceased and her eyes no longer made contact with Serena's.

Serena sighed. "Come on, Blair! Do I really need to pretend that I didn't see what I saw at your birthday party last week?"

"Yes, you do." Blair replied casually, still not making eye contact.

"Blair, we need to at least talk about it."

"Since when?"

"Since now! How about we start by you, I don't know, telling me why you slept with Chuck Bass?!"

Blair finally looked at Serena and exhaled sharply. "Nate and I had just broken up and I felt really vulnerable, ok?!"

"Ok, but just please don't tell me you slept with him for revenge."

Blair let out a mock laugh. "Well it wasn't because I liked his natural musk!"

"Oh, really?" Chuck said as he entered the kitchen, a bouguet of pink peonies in hand. He gently planted them in Blair's hands as he whispered, though loud enough for Serena to hear, in her ear, "That's not what you told me last night." Then, he kissed Blair softly on the lips. Chuck strolled behind Blair, who was facing Serena, and leaned against the counter. Blair smiled, admiring the flowers until she saw Serena looking at her with her eyesbrows raised. So, she quickly wiped the smile off of her face.

"That...was disgusting." Serena admitted.

"Well, in that case," Chuck leaned over and started to kiss Blair's neck when Serena took a bit of flour from a bowl on the counter and flung it at his face.

"Hey!"

"You two are so gross."

Chuck started to wipe the flour off of his shirt. "Oh, you say that now, but you haven't seen us in bed when-", at this Blair slapped his arm, making Chuck be quiet.

"I can't believe I'm just now saying this but, you two are still sleeping together?!"

"Your point being?" Blair questioned, annoyed.

"My point is that I would have taken a herpes test by now!"

"Look, can I tell Blair why I'm here so I can leave you two to arguing about our sex life?"

Serena threw her arms in the air. "Why not?!"

Chuck turned to Blair. "Bart is taking me to a business retreat thing over Thanksgiving. He just told me a couple hours ago and he said we'd be looking at different buildings and talking to a lot of important people on the board of Bass Industries...we leave today."

"Oh, ok."

"I have to go now because our flight is in a couple of hours."

"Ok, I'll just call you later, I guess."

Chuck leaned in so his lips were an inch from hers and teased, "And I'll inappropriately text you during the flight." Blair smiled and grabbed the collar of his shirt, bringing him in the extra inch to kiss him.

Serena rolled her eyes as Chuck left the ktchen and got into the elevator. "You know what, I think I'm going to go too. This place is...tainted for me now."

Blair also rolled her eyes as Serena grabbed her bag, got up, and left.

Blair sat on the floor of the bathroom looking at the wall across from her as Serena entered. She sat down next to her friend and asked, "You threw up?"

Blair sighed. "Yah," she replied, her voice cracking a bit.

Serena put an arm around her. "I didn't see your dad down stairs."

"My mother called him and told him that I didn't want to see him."

"But, how could he believe that? Thanksgiving is, like, yours and his favorite holiday."

"I know, right." Blair sniffled. "Hey, you know how I told you I was feeling vulnerable that night I slept with Chuck?"

"Mm-hm..."

"The reason I slept with him wasn't because I was vulnerable."

Serena turned her body curiously toward Blair's.

"He, for some strange reason, made me feel...safe. Like nothing and no one could hurt me again. And he...looked at me the way Nate never did. Like he really wanted me. I kind of wish he were here so I could feel like that right now. Did I tell you that he actually asked me if i was sure before we did anything?"

"No, you didn't." Serena looked down. "Look, I know I haven't really been very supportive of your...thing with Chuck."

"True."

"...but I'm going to start." Serena smiled. Blair turned to look at her. "I'm just gonna act like a normal friend would if she found out her best friend lost her virginity!"

Blair smiled and laughed. "Ok."

"So," she put both hands on top of each other on Blair's lap. "was it, you know...hot and heavy or slow and romantic?"

"Well," Blair smiled shyly and looked down at her hands. "It was sort of both. The kissing went from slow to ripping each others clothes off." Blair looked up at Serena, "are you sure want to hear this?"

"I am trying my best not to picture you and Chuck, but go on."

"Then, once we had, you know, all of our clothes off. Um...he took it slow and actually asked me if it hurt, if I wanted him to go slower. And once the pain went away, yah, it got really hot and heavy."

"Now that someone I know and trust has slept with Chuck Bass, I have to ask."

Blair cocked her head to the side a bit and asked, "What?"

"Is he really as good as he claims to be?"

Blair looked down and laughed. Then she finally looked back up at Serena, "You want an honest answer?"

"Yes!"

Blair bit her lip and shyly said, "He's better." Serena's eyes widened at this. Better? Seriously?!

"Better?"

Blair shook her head yes. "He does this thing with his-"

Serena put up her hands and quickly said, "I don't need to know."

"Okay, I won't elaborate." Blair started to laugh. And shortly, Serena joined in.

"So, B, you wanna get out of here?"

"...Yah." Serena got up and pulled her best friend off the floor. "Where we going?"

Serena looked up at the ceiling, "Hmmm..." She then looked at Blair and smiled, "Wherever we want!"
