In the meantime Blair was getting ready to go out home in the suite. Yes the suite, she had been staying with Chuck since that day on the street. The thought of sleeping apart didn't fit right with anyone of them and after Chuck had charmed Blair's mother not even she had a problem with Blair staying there. That was another one of Chuck's talents, he could charm anything and anybody, even Blair's mother who now loved him and always called him Charles very kindly. Blair smiled to herself while she was fixing her hair; she wanted to look perfect for Chuck. Not that she needed to but she liked to even though the perfect Blair was different than before Chuck, she didn't wear headbands any longer.

She picked up her purse and went down the elevator and out the doors, out in the sunshine that very well fitted her mood. She had decided to walk to the restaurant where she was meeting Chuck and then they had the afternoon all to themselves. Blair smiled at the thought of what that normally meant… She could almost picture Chuck's arms around her waist, pulling her closer to his naked chest. She would slide her hands around his neck and he would kiss her greedy and seductively. And she couldn't resist. His hands would move to the straps of her dress, he would push them down her shoulders while he put his hot lips to the soft spot at her neck and she couldn't help to moan softly into his ear. He would whisper sweet seductive words in her ear and she would once again be won over… Blair took a deep breath and snap out of daydreaming before she got all lost, it happened sometimes when it came to Chuck. She walked with confident steps down the street with a stunning smile on her lips; it had been long since anyone had seen Blair Waldorf like this, without the calculative look in her eyes when she was planning a scheme but not today, today she was just happy. She turned left at Upper 47th Street and her eyes caught sight of the little restaurant they had agreed to meet. She walked in and looked expectant around to see if by luck he had gotten there before her. And there besides a table he stood. She felt like an electrical shock went through her entire body when she saw his majestic figure standing back to her and before she knew it she joyfully called out.

"Chuck!" He slowly turned around and a smile widened on his lips and he spread out his arms while she walked as dignified as she could against him while resisting the urge to run and jump into his arms, but that would Blair Waldorf never do in public she reminded herself. She reached him and he pulled her close to him, drew her lips to his and softly whispered;

"I have missed you…" Blair looked him into the eyes and nodded. She had missed him too. He had been gone for business for two days, the longest they had been apart the whole summer. They stood like that for a couple of seconds while they consumed the feeling of being back in each others arms again when they suddenly heard a loud almost hysterical voice;

"Blair! Chuck! What is going on here!" Chuck slowly let go of Blair and turned around with a surprised look on his face. Behind them stood Serena van der Woodsen, Blair's best friend and Chuck's stepsister, who had been out of the City for the summer and shouldn't have returned before next week. Serena's golden hair stood like a halo around her and she looked shocked from Chuck to Blair. Blair took a deep breath to try and calm herself.

"Serena…. I didn't think you would be back until next week" Serena took a step closer as Chuck sighed at the left side of Blair.

"Obviously not! What is this Blair? I thought you hated Chuck and wouldn't see him again!" Blair for once stood perfectly silence and was caught by surprise. Chuck smirked silently and finally spoke;

"Calm down Sis. This isn't the place nor the time for this conversation." He signed around the restaurant where people had began to stare at the scene taking place in the normally quite restaurant which also was the reason that Chuck and Blair had chosen the sight in the first place. Serena looked around for a second and nodded;

"5pm at the Palace Chuck. The three of us are going to talk" Chuck quietly agreed and Serena grabbed her bag and stormed out of the door. Chuck turned his head and watched Blair worried looking after Serena as she disappeared down the street. She felt his hand slide around her waist, pulling her a little closer to her for comfort.

"It will be okay Beautiful, I promise." She looked at him and sighed.

"I really hope so. This wasn't supposed to happen like this." Chuck felt that both of their appetite for dinner was ruined and he took her hand, led her out of the restaurant and into the limo.

He gave the driver instructions to get them to the Palace and turned his attention to Blair, who he could see was obviously worried at the way she was curled up in the backseat. He moved closer and felt an urge to comfort her. He put an arm around her and she cuddled into his chest. He led his hand slide through her hair and she closed her eyes. He listened to her breathing and thought about the whole scene in the restaurant. Now their secret was out and he needed to figure out a way to do damage-control. Serena wasn't known to keep her mouth shut for to long. How dared she to judge her best friend like that! Serena was not the most credible person he knew either.

"Chuck….?" Blair's soft voice pulled him out of his thoughts and he smiled the Chuck Bass-smile that she loved so much.

"Yes..?" She straightened up a bit to be able to see his face.

"She will not ruin anything… Not this time, no one or nothing will. Right?"

"Right!" He agreed with confidence and she smiled a little smile. He bended his head and kissed her sensitively. She returned the kiss with more feeling than he had expected. He felt her teeth biting him tenderly in his lower lips. He couldn't help a small gasp escaping his lips and he saw victorious sparkles in her eyes. He liked Blair like this. He remembered the first time he saw her let her guard down like this to just be Blair, instead of the perfect, elegant woman. It had been the night at Victrola where she had danced for him and she had caught him by surprise. He was the only one she had ever shown until today where Serena had been a witness to a private moment between the two of them. Chuck felt her caressing his lip softly with the tip of her tongue; he let her while he gradually let his hand caress her back and pulled her a little nearer.

Blair enjoyed this moment with Chuck and forgot all about the driver who could see everything. She put her hand on his leg and slowly rand her fingers from his knee to his inner thigh. With the other hand she quickly opened one button in the skirt he was wearing and let a hand slide in, caressing the muscles on his stomach and she felt the muscles tighten under her touch. She smiled and Chuck turned his head, giving her a kiss as easy as air and placing his lips on her soft spot at the neck and she moaned softly. He pressed his mouth to her ear and seductively whispered;

"Having a thing for limos…?" She smiled and was just about to answer when the driver turned around.

"We have arrived Mr. Bass." Chuck looked up and sighed. Blair pulled back a little and fixed her clothes. Chuck buttoned his skirt again and stood out of the limo when the door opened and reached out his hand to help Blair out. When she grabbed his hand and gracefully stood out, he quickly smiled and winked at her. She returned the favour when her mouth curled up in a little smile and her eyes sparkled. He offered her his arm and she placed her small hand on his sleeve and together they walked into the building. Chuck nodded to the door keeper.
