Thank you for the reviews and to everyone that put Dulci on story alert. The next two chapters leading to the actual dinner are going to be rather short. I thought about combining them into one chapter but I feel the separation is needed. Anyway, enjoy and R&R!
Chapter Two – Pillows & Texts
"Stop laughing, Serena!" Blair yelled out before dramatically covering her face with her pillow. "This is a complete disaster!"
Serena continued laughing as she made her way to the side of the bed, "Don't be so dramatic."
Blair lifted her head up and looked at her best friend. "I can't believe I agreed to this."
"I don't really see what the big deal is, B. You guys are sort of together already." Serena chose her words wisely, she knew this was a very sensitive subject. "Might as well make it official." Serena couldn't resist adding, "Might as well make him commit." It was no secret that something was going on between the two Upper East Side royalties. However, no one at school spoke of it. Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass as separate beings were dangerous as is. But feeling Blair and Chuck's wrath as a couple? No one dared to find out.
"I don't want a relationship with Chuck Bass." Blair hissed. She was lying. Ever since her birthday, Blair had spent most of her time with Chuck and it had been shamefully perfect. She wanted to be with him but they had this unspoken game between them. Saying it first would mean he won and Blair couldn't have that.
"Blair and Chuck..." Serena trailed off, ignoring the icy stare Blair gave her. "I'll admit, it has a nice ring to it."
Blair was ready to shoot back a reply when her phone beeped.
Free for lunch, gf? -C
Blair tried to fight off the smile on her face as she read the last part of Chuck's text.
Serena observed her friends reaction, she hadn't seen Blair smile like that in a long time. "Is that Chuck?" She finally asked, even though she already knew the answer.
Blair threw a pillow at the blonde's head before replying.
With S. Go away. -B
"Hey!" Serena squeaked in the background.
So what's our story? -C
"You two can't get enough of each other, huh?" Serena teased, "are you sure you guys only want to do this for a day?"
What are you talking about? Are you on drugs again? -B
Before she could throw another pillow at Serena her phone beeped again.
My father will need to know how you fell in love with me. -C
Annoyed, Blair decided to not reply but in less than a minute she received another message.
I'll pick you up in 20 mins... darling. -C
"Where are you going?" Serena watched as Blair got up and walked towards her closet.
Blair examined her new Marc Jacobs dress, "I'm having lunch with the basshole."
