Okay... So here's the next chapter. I know that this story doesn't follow the rest of the series but its meant to be a 'what if things happened this way' type of story. I hope that you guys don't find the story to differentiate from the characters or to be a bad lot. These couple of chapters so far have been like an introduction and I'm starting to get to the good bit now. This will be the last boringish chapter. I PROMISE!
Okay so I just had my yearly exams and I really hope I don't fail, so I hope you guys appreciate this chapter. LOL!
SO I'm going to stop rambling on and continue with the story...
Enjoy!

Chapter 3
Everyone had finally arrived and were all standing on the front porch of the holiday house. Nate was angry seeing as Chuck and Blair were there. Blair was angry at Nate for having traded her for the dreads of Brooklyn. Jenny was angry at Vanessa for having stolen Nate from her, which she only found out on the trip there from Nate. Serena was angry at Dan. Dan was angry at Serena and the idea of Nate hurting his little sister. Vanessa was angry at Dan for being angry at Nate and Chuck just stood there shocked.
"Well. Is everyone ready to go inside?" Chuck asked trying to break the tension. If he knew that there was going to be this much tension in front of everyone he would have complained and Blair wouldn't have been allowed to bring anyone.
"Yes. I think that's a wonderful idea Chuck." Vanessa said in a sweet song voice.
"Oh cut the shit Vanessa. We all know you're only acting so you can become friendly with more of the guys and then steal our boyfriends." Blair said seething at her.
"Don't go off t her like that." Nate yelled.
"Don't talk to her like that." Jenny defended Blair.
"Oh yeah, you can talk." Nate said sarcastically.
"Don't talk to her like that." Dan warned Nate repeating Jenny's earlier words.
"Don't talk to him like that." Serena said screeching at Dan and protecting Nate.
"Oh of course you'd be protecting him. You slept with him." Dan said scoffing at Serena.
"Don't talk to Serena like that. So what she slept with Nate get over it." Blair said seething at Dan again.
"Yeah and you slept with Chuck while going out with me." Nate scoffed.
"Actually we broke up according to you and me." Blair shot back.
"Okay. Everyone calmed down. Let's go inside and we can all calm down." Chuck said trying to calm the situation down.
"Like you can talk. You were supposably my best friend yet you slept with my girlfriend." Nate bit out.
"Ex-girlfriend." Blair intervened.
"SHUT UP." Chuck screamed.
Everyone stopped their angry scowls and turned and looked at Chuck's outburst. He was basically fuming.
"I came here to have a great holiday with some of my good friends and all you do is have a go at each other and make the other feel like they've done something wrong. If you're going to keep doing that then I want you to get back in the limo you came in and go home." He said and then turned and opened the front door. "Whoever is willing to stay and be nice, then follow me."
Everyone stood on the porch shocked until Serena finally moved into the house deciding that it wasn't worth the holiday to be angry at everyone.
Blair was the next to follow. Then Dan. Then Jenny. Then Nate. Then Vanessa.
Serena walked in and saw the exquisite decorations of the foyer and came to join Chuck where he was standing.
"It's beautiful." She said to him touching his arm.
"I didn't even know he owned it." Chuck said out of awe. "He doesn't tell me anything."
"Well we can't be here for long." Serena said with a sigh. Chuck turned to look at her for an explanation. "Their wedding, it's in a couple of weeks, actually three. So we have to be back by then."
Blair walked up behind Serena and Chuck quietly listening to what they had to say.
"It's a shame. The whole reason I came here was to bring Blair and show her how much I care." Chuck said solemnly to Serena.
"Do you love her?" Serena asked.
"Seriously I don't know." Chuck said.
Blair heart fell at this and walked back to the group before she heard anymore hurtful words and didn't want to be there anymore.
"I've never felt love anymore to know what it feels like. But I have butterflies still fluttering around in my stomach for her." Chuck continued not realizing that Blair had heard what he said.
"Well that's a good start." Serena said unsure of what to say. "Just don't hurt her." She warned.
Chuck simply turned to her and gave her a curt nod.
They both turned and went to rejoin the group. Serena walking straight over to Blair and Chuck going to stand by himself with no idea who to go to. He could go to Serena and Blair. His best friend didn't want him near. And he didn't want to hang out with any of the Brooklyn's. So he stood by himself while everyone else took in the surroundings.
"Hey Chuck." Nate called out. Chuck turned to him to see if it was actually him talking to him. "When do we get our rooms?" Nate said in a monotone voice.
"Uhhh... Yeah. If you'll follow me." Chuck said and walked to the grand staircase. It was across the foyer and over to the left. It curved up the wall and led to a small balcony which led the teens down a big hall.
At the first door he stopped. "Vanessa, this is for you." He said as again he stepped back and revealed another gold bedroom with a chocolate bed.
Vanessa stepped inside her own room. It was nice enough that Chuck had let her come but this was way over the top as she looked at the space that she had.
He continued a bit down the hall till he got to the opposite door. "Jenny, this is for you." He said stepping back and revealing a gold room with a pale pink bed.
"Thanks Chuck." Jenny said as she took in the room. She was in awe. Nothing that she had ever stayed in looked so magnificent as this house or her room.
"You're welcome." Chuck responded back. Continuing to the next door.
He went directly across from Vanessa room and opened the door. "Dan this is yours." He said as he stepped back and revealed yet another gold room and an orange bed. The whole house seemed to have a gold them to it.
Dan stepped inside. For a person like Chuck Bass who hated him, had surely giving him nice room.
"Thanks man." Dan said.
"Not so fast Humphrey. We're not on a man to man basis." Chuck said as he moved away.
Of course Dan thought. He might do something nice. But he's still Chuck Bass.
Chuck walked down the hallway now at a fair distance to reach the next room. "Serena, my lovely sis, this is for you. I hope I got the colour right." He said as he stepped back and revealed a gold room with a blue bed. A dresser with mirror and all her usual make-up and perfume.
"Thanks Chuck. Serena said in awe as she walked inside the bedroom. No one had even done something this nice for her. Not even her own mother.
"It's okay Serena. It's all yours. For whenever you stay." He said.
Wow. Serena thought as she walked in. I could stay here a lot more.
Chuck walked opposite Serena's door and pulled open the next one. "Nate this is yours." He said as he revealed another gold room with a deep forest green bed.
Nate stepped into his room and looked around. For someone like Chuck who he was annoyed at. Chuck seemed to do a nice thing and pick out a nice room for him.
Chuck continued down the hallway with Blair. Not even waiting for Nate to try and say something. He pointed to the door closet to him. "That's my room." He said. He pointed to the door across from him. He walked towards it and gripped the handle. "And this is your room." He said as he opened it.
Blair took in everything. The gold ceilings. The gold walls. The white dressing table with the mirror attached to it. Her usual make-up stacked neatly on it. Her two favourite perfumes standing next to the make-up. A box of chocolates. And the huge red bed. It had at last ten pillows on it. It had a couple of heart shaped ones and a big sparkly red duvet.
"Wow Chuck this is amazing. You really didn't have to do this for me." She said as she remembered his earlier words.
Chuck stepped up to her so that they were inches apart. "I wanted to. I told you Waldorf. I want to make it up to you." With that said he stepped out of the room and retreated to his own leaving a very shocked Blair Waldorf standing in her massive private room.
As Chuck walked away he thought of how her face looked. It was so emotional and sweet. Like she thought that she never expected him to do something like that for her. Well he'll show her. He walked back to his bedroom and closed his door as he pulled his phone out of his pocket.
"Mike." He said into his phone.
"Yes Mr Bass, what can I do for you today?" His PI asked.
"I need you to find me the most expensive piece of jewellery there is. In a bracelet please." He said into his phone.
"Sure thing Mr Bass." His PI said and then hung up.
That was strange his PI thought. Mr Bass never says please.
Chuck thought back on the conversation. Did he really say please? Chuck Bass has never said 'please' to one of his servants. He said it to his friends. But never to servants or workers. Chuck was going to get her this bracelet and he was going to give it to her when the time was right. He could just feel it.
Blair stood in her room as her bags were delivered. She started unpacking them as Serena graciously waltzed into her room and threw herself down on her bed.
"Nice to see you too Serena. I see you unpacked fast." She said as she kept moving clothes in drawers and hanging them up in the wardrobe.
"Why are you unpacking. That's the helps job. We are here to relax, enjoy and have heaps and heaps of fun. And I propose we do that by hitting a bar tonight and then going for a walk by a beach. You know how sunny it stays in California. We always wanted to come here when we were little, remember? We did all the research and you were going to book tickets for us using your mum's credit card but then Chuck talked us out of it and promised he'd take us when we were older. Those were the times." She said and sighed to create such a dreamy atmosphere.
"Huh. I guess he did keep his promise then." Blair mumbled to herself as Serena kept mumbling about how much fun they were going to have. And Blair kept unpacking.
Suddenly the door knocked. Serena jumped and Blair threw the armful of clothes she was holding and grabbed her heart. She looked to where the door was and saw Chuck standing there with his trade mark smirk.
"Well, if you really wanted to jump for me Waldorf. All you had to do was ask." He grinned.
"CHUCK BASS!" She just about screamed. "Don't you ever do that to me again. You nearly gave me a heart attack." She scowled.
"Well I'll be out of here then." Serena said as she eased her way past Chuck, out the door and down the hall to Dan's bedroom where the door slammed pretty loudly.
"Any guess as to what they're doing?" Chuck asked with a smirk.
"You're heinous and I don't want to know. Now help me pick these clothes up." She demanded.
"Alright Waldorf, don't get your panties in a twist." He said. "Oh wait but I've made them twist before."
"Chuck Bass if you dare bring any sexual innuendoes or sexual comments into my room without my asking I will kick you out and will not let you in here again." She said.
Chuck crept up behind her as she was bending down and picking her clothes up.
"I believe this is my house Waldorf and I think you'll follow my rules." He said as his hands floated down to her hips.
Blair shot upright and jumped away from his hands. "I'll keep the door locked." She threatened.
"I'll find other ways to get in Blair. No one can keep me away from you." He said as he stepped forward and brushed her bangs out of her face. "And by the way you're coming with me to that bar tonight." He whispered in her ear.
"Why?" She asked him confused.
"Because everyone needs to know who you belong to." He said. "And that's me."
"I don't belong to anyone." She snapped.
"Sorry." He said. "I mean, everyone needs to see how good you look with me."
"Is that all?" Blair asked.
"Ummm... Yes, I suppose." Chuck said not sure of what else he was supposed to say.
Blair's face fell. He had not wanted to say the words that she felt. She loved him. Yes, she admitted it. She loved him. She wanted him to say something back. The butterflies that coursed through her stomach each and every day when she thought about him or saw him. She thought that he might still have the butterflies too but now he didn't.
"Just go Chuck." She said with a sigh. "I don't want to go to go out tonight anymore. Please just go."
Chuck walked out of the room with a puzzled expression. He wasn't sure what had gotten into Blair and why their good conversation had taken a turn and turned bad. All he wanted to do was spend some time with her and make her realize how much fun she was having with him and how she wanted to spend more time with him and even like him.
He didn't know what love was, he hadn't even felt love before but he knew something was feeling funny to him about Blair. There were butterflies fluttering in his stomach since the night at Victrola and her 17th birthday party that were growing stronger every day. He didn't know what those butterflies meant but each day he wanted to be near her more. He wanted to spend every minute with her.
Blair really wanted to be with Chuck. She really didn't want him to go but with Nate her relationship was really clear. They said they loved each other and spent nearly every minute with each other. But Chuck was different. He would one minute stalk her and then the next he would refuse her. She didn't know what he felt and after hearing what he had to say to Serena, she wasn't quite sure what Chuck was feeling. He never opened up to anyone and Blair was having a hard time accepting that fact.
They still had the next four weeks before the wedding though before both of them could sort themselves out. Chuck needed to open up and tell Blair. And Blair needed to not expect so much out of Chuck.
Both of them felt butterflies. Blair knew it was love but Chuck didn't. It's only a matter of time before he found out.
