AN: OMFG! Last night episode deserves a new update… I can not believe Bart Bass is DEAD! The season finally looks amazing, for many reasons…
One: In the promo you can see our ultimate playboy Chuck Bass is finally falling down on one knee for our queen B. And B can finally wear that diamond for all eyes to see.
Two: look at him running down those stairs in his all white suit, to meet Blair at their improvised altar… Will he get to say 'I do' before the cops whisk him away…?

Three: Who the hell is Gossip Girl? I really have no clue…

Four: I can not wait to see the flash-forward and finally meet Henry…His picture has been all over the net since October, I'm really curious to see it all unfold.

Five: The promo mentioned 'all night event'. The episode airs earlier than expected so I'm anxious to know how long this all night event will be…

Anyhow, enjoy this relatively short chapter, but since I'm so exited about next weeks episode, thanks to that promo… I feel it in my gut that another update will soon follow… ^^

Chapter 14

He's late.

That's the sole sentence that's going through her mind right now. She doesn't want to think about the consequences if he doesn't show. It would be all ruined. She doesn't even have a back up model. How could you be so stupid?! Her own mind scolds at her.

"Blair, when is that model going to arrive?" Jenny wonders. "The photographer is getting annoyed."

"He should keep quiet and wait." Blair snaps. "He'll stay here for the entire time I've booked him, unless I say otherwise."

"I'll go offer him another cup of coffee then." Jenny answers.

"Yes. Do that." Blair swats her away, before walking over to the study, looking for her phone. She needs to get a hold of the modelling agency before it closes. They need to start looking for a model with the same amount of cockiness, arrogance and also built of course.

Jenny walks over to the coffee cart housekeeping left by the door, when the door of the suite opens with a click of the lock. She looks up surprised to see none other than Chuck Bass himself entering the suite. "What are you doing here?" She wonders with an annoyed sigh. "This is a closed session, so please leave."

"I'm here to see Blair. Where is she?"

"Study." Jenny answers. "She's busy… And not in the mood to be interrupted…"

Chuck ignores the blonde and walks off to the study.

Meanwhile Blair is searching for the phone number of the agency in her address book.

She still doesn't understand why he's doing this to her. He knows the importance of this project. He even offered her the presidential suite at his hotel as a setting. In exchange for a mentioning in any future interviews or subtitle placement of the hotel logo on the pictures in any future magazine spreads. Perhaps it's all just business to him. Nothing more or less. She was stupid enough to believe that he would keep his promise. That night at victrola he probably just agreed to this to get her out of her panties. She should know not to trust a drunken man, or any man for that matter. Once she found the number, she presses the call button on her phone and puts it on speaker so she has her hands free to look for the photo book she has lying around here somewhere…

"ABC modelling agency, Madelyn speaking." The female on the other side of the phone introduces herself.

"I need a male model. Stat." Blair snaps.

"We can arrange that."

"Send me your top 3 models." She orders next.

"Of course. Where should they meet you, Miss?"

"Waldorf…"

"The presidential suite at the Empire hotel."

"Any physical preferences?"

"Dark brown hair, light brown eyes, height around 5'9"

"It's 5'10 actually." Chuck corrects her. Blair looks up and finds him standing on the other side of the desk. He ends the call without another word. "There's no need to worry. I'm here."

Blair sighs relieved. "You had me panicked of a moment their Bass. Don't ever do that again."

"I won't. Promise." Chuck gives her a small charming smile.

"Could you get the photographer ready?" Blair addresses Jenny.

"But our model has yet to arrive. You were on the phone before he entered looking for a back-up and he simple ended the call, rather rude fully if I may add. We have to work with that agency in the future and …"

Blair watches as the light bulb goes on in Jenny's mind. "No, Blair. You can not be serious about this."

"Why not?" Blair closes the office door. "He's perfect. People come from around the globe to live the Chuck Bass experience by staying at the Empire."

"True." Chuck smiles at the compliment. "And I personally see to it that it all lives up to the expectations…"

"Men want to be him. Girls want a man just like him. Making him the face of my men's line, is prefect. The men will buy the clothes for themselves and the girls will buy it so they can dress their boyfriends up like him."

"You tactic business plan is flawless. As always. But you are mixing business and pleasure way too much."

"Not enough. If you ask me." Chuck smiles cheekily.

Jenny shoots daggers at him. Blair simply smiles.

"Jenny. Trust me. I know what I'm doing…" Blair reassures her.

"uhu." She sighs. "I'll go tell the photographer you'll be ready in five."

"Do you prefer blonde or brunette?"

"I prefer you." Chuck smirks, moving in for the nape of her neck.

"Good to know." Blair pushes herself away from his persuasive lips. "I prefer you too."

"Let's kiss to that." Chuck raises his eyebrows suggestively.

"It's not the time or place for that."

"You're right. There's a king size bed in the next room."

"Focus, Chuck." Blair glares.

"You were the one insisting on behaving ourselves last night." Chuck muses against her neck. "How did you put it? Oh yes, I believe you wanted me somewhat sexually frustrated." His lips start kissing her skin again.

"Save you sexual energy for the model. Wich reminds me blonde or brunette." Blair wonders playfully.

"What model?"

"The one that's going to have her picture taken with you for the ad campaign."

"I thought that would be with you..."

"Me?" Blair laughs. "No. I'm no modelling material."

"You are gorgeous." Chuck muses in her ear. "I want you."

"That deal isn't on the table."

"It's you or no deal at all..." Chuck threatens.

The door swings open.

"Ready?" Jenny wonders.

"Yes."

"No."

"It looks like we're off to a perfect start..." Jenny mutters.

"It's you and me. Or I'm leaving." Chuck threatens.

"You know the way out." Blair fumes.

"Hold it right there mister!" Jenny orders him. Chuck looks at her surprised. "You are not going anywhere."

"Let him go, Jenny."

"No. I will not." Jenny responds angrily. "This is exactly what I was afraid off. You two going at each others throats like two little children."

"You started it!" They point at each other.

"Fine." He walks closer to Blair in a few long strides. "The shoot will be so hot that you wished it was your body tangled up with mine, instead of hers."

"You wish."

"Just wait and see, Waldorf."

"Oh I will..."

"I'll take the brunette."

Jenny clears her throat. "Blair could I have a word?"

"Now what?" Blair snaps at her.

"I think it's best we discuss it in private."

Blair frowns at her. "Oh for the love of god Jenny. Just spit it out."

"The brunette just left. Apparently she came down with something."

Chuck can't keep the smug look off his face, and it doesn't go unnoticed by Blair. "You did this." She accuses him.

"How? I haven't left this room since the moment I've arrived." Chuck smirks.

"You'll just have to take the blonde one then." Blair smirks.

"No. I chose." Chuck argues. "You either get a new brunette model or you do it yourself. I'll just go wait out there. You'll find me wherever the scotch is." Chuck turns on his heels and walks off into the other room, leaving Blair and Jenny to discuss either option.

He walks over to the blonde model who is waiting in the corner at the bar. "Perfectly executed." He smirks, while he pours himself a glass of scotch and takes a sip before reaching into the inside pocket of his jacket. He pulls out an envelope and slides it across the bar towards her. "There's enough in there to cover both your time and something extra for the unscheduled performance."

"Thank you, mister Bass." The blonde smiles seductively at him. "It's always a pleasure doing business with you."

Chuck smirks. "Now. Out."

"As you wish." The blonde model packs up her things and leaves.

Meanwhile in the other room...

"I'll just find another brunette model." Blair reassures Jenny.

"Just get over your pride and go out there, Blair."

"And giving him what he wants? Never."

"Why not?" Jenny wonders.

"A few moment ago you were warning me about mixing business and pleasure too much. And now you want me together with him in the ad campaign for the line. Make up your mind, Jenny!"

"You two crossed that line a while ago. There us no use in denying that."

Blair responds with a shrug.

"So why not go all in?" Jenny wonders. "I can imagine the headliners already: 'French designer princess shines in own ad campaign with high society bad boy Chuck Bass as the face of her new men's line..."

Blair stays silent for a moment, staring out the window. She turns to face Jenny, a devilish smirk gracing her face: "It does have a nice ring to it."

Jenny raises her eyebrows. "I also think that Chuck believes you wouldn't dare to go out there…"

"True." Blair responds: "I have been the cautious one, making sure our little get-togethers stayed secret."

"As in plural?" Jenny wonders surprised.

"Sweetie, he's Chuck Bass…"

"Does that mean…" Jenny starts to wonder sheepishly.

"all the rumours are true…" Blair smiles at Jenny's sudden discomfort. "Make sure that headliner you had in mind is released along with the most steamy photo. Let's get me ready..."

To be continued…

AN: I hope I have met all of you expectations with this relatively small chapter. I just got this scene in my mind and decided to leave it at this… Don't be afraid to share your expectations with me on what's to happen on the next chapter and how you expect their 'photo shoot' to go…Should it be hot or perhaps a bit more sizzling or would you prefer steamy...? Let me know… ;)
