The party had dragged. Both Blair and Chuck had struggled to keep their eyes off each other. Chuck felt pangs of jealousy whenever another guy even looked at Blair. He was surrounded by people he really didn't care about. The party finally started to dwindle down around one am. Chuck was leaning against the bar with a whiskey in his hand. Blair was sitting with Hazel and Izzy. They were both rather drunk, Blair found this slightly amusing. They were both rabbiting on about somebody's bad botox. Blair has associated her with them the whole way through high school but she often wondered why. She was nothing like they were. They were leaving in next week to head back to College. She actually couldn't wait for them to leave so that her and Chuck could be together.

Blair caught sight of Chuck at the bar. He nodded his head towards the door, before heading for it. She nodded before lifting her drink and taking a sip out of it. She waited a couple of minutes before reaching for her bag. Blair told Hazel and Izzy she was going to the bathroom. They wouldn't notice when she didn't come back. She walked out of the function room and out of the hotel. She walked round the corner, where Chuck was waiting in his limo. She made sure nobody was watching before she got in. Chuck was sitting inside with two glasses of champagne. She took one, and kissed him.

"Hi" she smiled

"Hey" Chuck replied stroking her cheek

"I am so glad to be away from that party. Hazel and Iz are absolutely wasted."

"What's new" Chuck laughed. "I am so glad to be away from....well everyone"

Chuck put his arm around Blair as she sipped her glass of Champagne. The limo drove away from the party. Blair kicked off her slingbacks and let her hair down. Chuck played with her hair that was spilling around the nape of her neck. She tucked her legs underneath her dress. "The parties just keep getting worse. People need to learn to knit or something. They need a hobby."

"I don't think knitting really fits into this society" Chuck laughed. "I really wish the minions would stop leering at you."

Blair rested her head against Chuck's shoulder. She sipped her drink, laying a hand on Chuck's upper thigh. She knew this always made he go wild. She closed her eyes trying to keep the smile off her face. Chuck moved his hand down to her side, running his fingers up and down her ribs. "Jealously is kind of cute on you." Blair smiled

"Being jealous would hint that I would want to be like them, and I like to think I have a little more class than they do."

"You should drop the whole "I have class" thing because you are Chuck Bass after all"

"You know, you do get funnier as time goes by."

"I'll take that as a compliment" Blair laughed. "Why did I ever like those events?"

"Because you got to spend time leering at me."

"You get less funny as time goes by" she jibbed

"The bitch is back" Chuck whispered

Blair lifted her hand to slap him but felt Chuck's hand capture it. She turned to look at him and saw him smile at her. She smiled back. She placed her hand back on his thigh sliding it further up. She knew she was having the right effect on him. He intertwined their fingers. Blair smiled as opened her eyes and lifted her head to look at him. He moved closer to her as their lips met. Blair twisted her body round so that she was half straddling him. Chuck rested his hands on the small of her back pulling her closer to him. He pulled away from her "Please tell me you are staying with me tonight."

"Where else would I be?"

Chuck and Blair both entered his apartment. His jacket was slung over her shoulders. His arm was around her waist, her hand was tucked into the belt loop on his trousers. He shut the door as she flicked on the lights. She walked over to the sofa and lay down on it. Chuck laughed as he went to his bar. "You know we are going to have to find more creative ways to sneak you out of here."

"Because the sneaking part isn't fun enough?" Blair asked. "I am not getting into a laundry cart or whatever freaky plan you are coming up with."

"Blair this is not some bad movie about a cheating husband. I just mean out the back door is not that discreet anymore."

"I could get a wig" Blair smirked "A good quality one however. No cheap rubbish"

"I like you just the way you are. We will come up with something else." Chuck walked over and handed her a drink. He lifted her legs and sat down underneath them. He rubbed her smooth silkily skin. She took a sip of her drink.

"Serena asked me tonight what was going on with Nate?"

"What did you say?"

"That I was busy was classes. But at least the heat is off you"

"Can you imagine the lectures you get? Serena may technically be my sister but she still thinks I am scum."

Blair sighed "I don't care, and the Chuck Bass I know, wouldn't care either."

"It's hard not to care Blair. She is your best friend. Whether you want to admit it or not, she still has some influence over you. It's hard to have the most important person in you life hate me." Chuck shrugged "in this society hate is as easy to catch as a cold."

"Ok first of all, you are the most important person to me. Secondly I am not susceptible to hate, I had that jab already. And thirdly I am here, not anywhere else."

Chuck sighed "Yeah for now. What about when something else is posted about me on some website? When you are reading so much crap you begin to doubt me?"

"I don't care about that. Gossip Girl can go blog herself for all I care. She needs to get a life anyway instead of living vicariously through ours. Actually rather sad really."

"Yeah but people still read it regiously."

"I know." Blair sighed "We wouldn't be having this problem if it wasn't for her. We probably wouldn't have any problem's if she didn't sit in front of her computer waiting for some gossip like a pathetic lonely thirteen year old."

"We should hire some geek to take down her website."

"The fear of getting caught is worth it. I always get the giggles sneaking into see you" Blair smiled. "It's exciting"

"You are full of surprises Miss Wardorlf. I would have thought that would have annoyed you."

"No. I just get annoyed watching other girls talk to you"

"I get annoyed watching guys even look at you. I felt like punching some guys tonight."

"I'm glad you didn't. That would have pretty much screamed I'm sleeping with her"

Chuck smirked "Speaking of sleeping with you, I think it is time for bed."

Blair laughed "Smooth" She got up and pulled Chuck up behind her. He rested one hand on the small of her back leading her into the bedroom.

"You know me, I've got swagger" he grinned as he shut the door behind them.
