THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW: After Dan's novel has been on the New York Best-selling List for a month
Dan Humphrey was being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.
"I just loved your book, Dan. It was the most beautiful thing I have read in a long time." Oprah gushed.
"Thanks, Oprah. I am glad you liked it." Dan responded humbly.
Backstage, the make-up girl sighed longingly to Blair Waldorf. "I can't believe you are dating Dan Humphrey. He is so talented. You are so lucky that he is your boyfriend."
"I know. Dan really is the perfect guy..." Blair answered as if she were in a daze.
Oprah held up the book for the studio audience. The audience cheered. A few girls were carrying signs that said "I love Dan Humphrey", "Dan is the man", or "Marry me Dan."
"I must ask," Oprah said to Dan, "In your story, who is the villain, Dominique, inspired by?"
"Dominique is inspired by a girl I know." Dan answered Oprah cryptically.
"Whoever inspired Dominique," Oprah stated, "Is a selfish, cruel, and a social-climbing bitch."
The entire studio audience gaped at Oprah's words. Nobody was used to Oprah using such crude words on air.
Backstage Blair gasped in sudden realization. Her boyfriend, Dan Humphrey, had written a best-selling novel. In the novel, he had written about the demise of the villainous, selfish girl.
He had written about her. The villain in Dan's story had been inspired by her.
AFTER OPRAH
Dan went to kiss Blair. "I missed you." He said.
"Dan," Blair backed away. "Is the villain of your New York best-selling novel based on me?"
Dan laughed. "Yes. It took you long enough to figure that one out."
"How could you base your villain on me? I am your girlfriend!"
"When I wrote it, you weren't my girlfriend." Dan shrugged.
"The character in your story is so horrible!"
Dan rolled his eyes, "Nobody knows that I based the villain of my story on you, Blair."
"But now I know! And it makes me question our entire relationship!"
"I don't see why you're making a big idea about it. I created that character after you left me sitting in my Brooklyn Loft because you claimed that I was "social suicide.""
"I came back for you! I told you I had made a mistake!"
"Four months later."
"But I told you that I liked you that night."
"Then you slammed the door on my face."
"OPRAH WINFREY said she hated the person who inspired you to write Dominique."
"Relax-" Dan began.
OPRAH WINFREY called me a bitch on national television!" Blair cried.
"Why are you so upset? She didn't say your name! Oprah doesn't even know you exist!"
"OPRAH WINFREY STILL INDIRECTLY CALLED ME A BITCH!" Blair was livid.
"You are a bitch, Blair." Dan said.
Blair's mouth dropped to open. "You think I am a bitch?"
"Yes."
"I am not a bitch."
"Yes you are."
"No. I am not."
"You're in denial."
"No. I am not."
Dan just laughed.
"Stop laughing. I am not a bitch."
Dan obediently stopped laughing.
"Thank you for stopping laughing at me."
"You're welcome, Blair."
Dan's brown eyes danced with amusement. Blair watched Dan's lips hesitantly quiver into a smile. She felt the corners of my lips upturn with his. And without warning, they both fell into uncontained laughter.
"It's not funny! I am not a bitch." Blair cried in between her giggles.
"Yes it is!" Dan choked.
Blair stopped laughing. "I thought you were scared of me when we started to like each other, Dan."
"I was. But only because I was afraid of starting to like Blair Waldorf, a first-class bitch."
"You didn't want to like me?"
"Did you want to like me?" Dan countered.
"You're from Brooklyn! Of course I didn't want to like you!"
Dan shrugged, "And you're a bitch, Blair. Do you think I wanted to like a bitch? "
Blair pouted her pretty lips. "Do you mean that the whole time that I was afraid of liking you, you were just as afraid of liking me?"
"I wasn't really afraid of liking you, Blair." Dan said, "I was afraid of falling in love with you."
"Are you still afraid of falling in love with me?"
"No." Dan said.
"Why not?"
"Because I am already in love with you, Blair Waldorf."
Blair stopped being angry. She had been waiting for those words in a long time. "I am in love with you, too." It was amazing how natural it felt to FINALLY tell Dan Humphrey that she was in love with him.
Dan brushed Blair's pretty hair from her eyes, "You are a bitch, but I love you, Blair Waldorf. I'll write a story that will do you justice. You will be the most beautiful, independent, smartest heroine in the entire world."
Blair intertwined her fingers with Dan's fingers.
"Let's write our love story right now. You can be the hero and I'll be the heroine." She whispered in his ear. "I want to finally show you how much I love you, Dan." She said.
Dan grinned "I want to show you how much I love you, too, Blair." He kissed Blair; it was short and sweet kiss. Then he pulled away, and increased the distance between them. They were only an arm's length apart, but it seemed like a great space. For a moment, neither of them moved. Neither of them spoke. They just stared at each other. Each knew what the other wanted to do.
Blair broke the silence.
"Oh for crying out loud, Humphrey!" Blair declared. She grabbed Dan, wrapping her arms around him. She pressed her body against his; and kissed him with no restraint. Dan and Blair were going to have a very, very, very, very good night. XOXO- Gossip Girl
Author's note: This is probably the last chapter! I know that in the first few Chapters, Dan seemed weak. Dan isn't; he is a stud muffin (especially around Blair)! However, it must be noted that the first few chapters were mostly written through BLAIR'S skewed perspective on Dan. It was a story of Blair becoming to fully understand who Dan is. I am HUGE DAIR FAN! On April 18th, if Blair and Dan don't end up together, I'll... well, I will probably still watch the show, but I will be SUPER disappointed.
Feedback is appreciated.
