Discalimer. None of the characters are mine.

Again, this story doesn't have a beta so bare with me with the grammar mistakes. And sorry in advance with the spelling mistake, I double check if there were any, but maybe one or two may have passed.

Chapter 5

Blair opened her eyes with a sudden movement. It took her a moment to adjust herself to the light. And even with that, she is still was confused on where she was. One minute she was in her bed, trying to erase Humphrey and still very angry at him because he erased her; the next she is standing in what seems to be Dan's loft.

How the hell did she got there?

"Blair, are you listening to me?"

"Wh-what?"

"Of course." Dan exclaims in an exasperated tone. "I don't even deserve your attention for a second."

Now Blair knew where she was. How could she forget? This was the conversation she and Dan had before they broke up. Acted again, in her head.

"Maybe if you would stop accusing me of something I didn't do I would put attention to you. But right now, I can't even look at you."

"Because it is always my fault, isn't it? Blair Waldorf can never be wrong. Well excuse me if I have doubts."

"Doubts about what? About us?"

"Yes. Yes, about us. It is not normal we are fighting so much. We fight over the tiniest things now, Blair."

"Exactly, tiniest things. Insignificant things. We don't have some major issue we need to solve."

"I feel differently, I feel we really need to solve something, but I don't know what anymore."

Blair is starting to get mad. And when she gets mad, she doesn't control completely what she says. "Thinking about it, I agree with you. Perhaps we need to solve your major jealousy towards Chuck. I've told you I am with you, and that's that. No need to doubt my words."

"How- How is Chuck suddenly part of this conversation? Really Blair, when you somehow mention Chuck in every fight we have, it is reasonable to get a little suspicious. It kind of seems you are not over him"

"I am over him, so over him. What I am not over is you treating me as someone that in any moment can betray you. How would you feel if I got jealous every time you mention Serena?"

"Well I would feel very confused because clearly I have not loved her, seen her like that, since a long time ago and her as well, she is with Nate and I'm with you."

"But that isn't enough for you, you don't trust me. It's a fact."

"Blair, don't put words into my mouth. I am just saying that we do have some issues."

"And again with that. Why insist making problems where there aren't any?"

"I am not insisting. We fought practically every night this month. I don't want it to evolve into something bigger."

"I can't talk to you right now."

"Blair…"

"WHAT?" Blair gets pretty desperate at this point. "What do you want to hear Dan? What is it exactly what you want to hear? That I don't love you, that I never did and this is an experiment gone terribly wrong? Maybe that's it. Maybe I'll even get back together with Chuck. " Why is she saying this, she doesn't believe this nonsense but she is very angry because she feels Dan doesn't trust her. And then she sees it, all over again, Dan believes this nonsense. Believes what she is saying is true, when for her it clearly isn't. And how ironical that he decides to trust her in this, she thinks.

"Humphrey…"

"Don't Humphrey me. Clearly you have said what you felt and I understand. No need to clarify anything else."

She was always the one with pride.

"Of course, now everything is my fault. I'll see you another day because we can't talk right now."

She leaves the loft. Between angry and wanting to solve things right now. But she knows that just this isn't the moment. They'll talk later. Problem is, they don't talk later; and when they talk again he is not the same Dan.

When she takes notice again of her surroundings, she is in her penthouse. Both, her and Dan, in her bed, watching Nights of Cabiria for the fifth, tenth, whatever time.

"You always weep at the end." Dan tells her.

"Yeah, I just… I love it. It's reassuring; the narrative telling you that everything is going to be okay, even if everything is wrong at the moment. Why the obvious observation? Does it bother you?"

"Why would it bother me?"

"I just think, the way you said it, I feel it annoys you."

"Well, it doesn't."

He doesn't say anything else. She doesn't say anything else.

"And then I was telling Natie: 'Thank God it went well.' I wasn't sure Anne would accept me."

"And why wouldn't she? You are lovely" Nate tells Serena and gives her a quick peck on the lips.

"Anyway, enough about us. How did it go when you met Dan's mother Blair?"

Blair didn't know what to answer. True to be told, she hadn't met Allison. At least not in the I-am-your-son's-girlfriend kind of way.

"I- I haven't met her, officially."

Serena and Nate looked at each other rather quickly. Blair noticed.

"Well, I'm sure that it won't be long before you meet her. And even in a worst case scenario, she can't hate you more than she hated me. Daughter of her ex-husband's true love, remember."

"Of course." Blair says in between a fake smile.

Later that night she gets herself into Dan's loft where he is writing one thing or another.

"Why haven't you introduced me to your mother?" She asks in the most casual way she can.

Dan looks at her. "Where did that came from?"

"I was with Serena and Nate this afternoon and the conversation somehow lay in the subject. Why haven't you introduced me, then?

"It just, I didn't knew you wanted to meet her."

"Well, I do. You should have asked."

"I figure that now."

"I mean, you already know my parents, both of them. And Cyrus, and Roman. Looking at it now, it seems too strange that I haven't met her."

"I told you, I didn't know you wanted to meet her."

"I want to meet her. We are in a serious relationship, Dan. Or, are you ashamed of me?"

"May I remind you who was the one who was ashamed at first to go out in public with me?"

"That was then, this is now. And that doesn't answer my question.

"Blair," Dan tells her while looking at her straight in the eyes, "I will never be ashamed of you."

"All right. I believe you." And she really does.

Dan seems to think that the subject is settled because he starts typing in his computer again. Blair occupies herself by reading one of Dan's books she left unfinished. It isn't after twenty minutes or so when she notices Dan hasn't arranged with her a date for her to officially meet Allison.

This chapter was particularly difficult for me. At first it was really hard for me to find something for them to fight about. Scratching the surface, I found some things. I needed to emphasize that things were not okay when Dan decided to erase Blair, and I also needed to point out that 'the fight' carried some stuff, some issues that they haven't really talked about. I don't know, I felt weird writing them fighting. I felt I did terribly wrong and I wrote them OOC, but I did my best. I mean, they are notsoOOC. At least for me. Anyway, this is the chapter with most fighting, I don't think they'll fight anymore. I don't know. I am very confused right now as to what direction this fic is taking. Please, please, bare with me. I hope that at least you are enjoying this.
