For the majority of the past two weeks, Blair's been staying at Dan's loft. They were going to try staying at Blair's one night, but they felt that the risk of getting caught was much, much bigger than being at his place. They were sleeping together, but for most of their nights together, they would sit around and talk. Everything Dan said made her laugh and everything Blair said made him smile.
It was around 7 AM, late for Blair to be waking up, and much too early for Dan to be up. She practically jumped out of his bed, rocking it enough to make him stir a little. She hated leaving when he was awake, it was nearly impossible. She always snuck out as early as she could. She figured she was safe, and very quietly gathered her clothes, putting them on. Right when she was about to leave, she heard his voice. "Where do you think you're going?"
She stood, still facing the opposite way of him, trying to think of an excuse to leave. He always tried making her stay as long as she possibly could. And to be honest, she wished that she could stay forever, but she couldn't. She turned around to face him, with a small smile playing on her lips. "I was going to meet my mother for breakfast. Care to join us?" She asked jokingly.
"Oh, of course. I'm sure your mother would be so incredibly ecstatic to see me." He rolled back over and tried going back to sleep, but Blair wouldn't allow it after he said that. She placed her stuff on his coffee table and walked back over to him.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked in a serious voice, pushing him to sit up and have a real conversation with her.
"It means that I don't think your mom would be so proud to see you with a poor writer from Brooklyn." She instantly saw the pain in his face, and she knew that he was serious about this.
"My mother, is married to Cyrus. Have you met him? I mean sure, he's successful, but looks wise, I don't think she has any room to talk."
"Gee, thanks." She looked at how adorable he looked right now, with his hair a mess. Bed-head suited him. She gave him a quick kiss and re-gathered her things as she ran out of his loft. She didn't like looking back, because if she did, she would end up staying. And that would not be good.

Serena wouldn't be up for another two hours, she supposed. She looked through her contacts, trying to find somebody she really could have breakfast with, but there was nobody she could think of who wasn't doing anything already. She walked into her favorite breakfast place and got a table for one.
She casually looked through the menu, already knowing what she was going to get, but not wanting to look stupid just staring at the ceiling. "Blair, it's so nice to see you." She frowned at the sound of the all-too familiar face. But before she turned around to face him, she plastered a fake smile on her face, knowing that he was going through a rough time, she didn't want to be mean to him.
"Chuck." She stood up and gave him a quick hug.
"Do you mind if I join you?" She was silent for a moment, trying to think of an answer. She knew Dan would be pissed if he ever found out that they were having breakfast together. And quite frankly, she didn't want to have breakfast with him. "Or are you here with someone else?" A sad look came to his face, and she just couldn't bare to see it.
"Of course you can join me." They both sat down in their seats. It was quiet. But not like when she's with Dan. This was uncomfortable and awkward. "So, what's going on with you?"
"Blair, I miss you." She stared at him for a moment. If this were a month ago, she would've practically jumped for joy. But not now. She turned her head slightly as she pondered what he was saying.
Unable to think of any words to say, she muttered a small "Oh?"
"That's all you have to say?" He used his toothy grin on her, knowing that always got to her. She looked away from his smile as she spoke again.
"Listen, Chuck, I care about you. And I always will. But I kissed somebody, and it was a truly life-changing event. That one kiss, changed me." He stared at her with wide eyes, and as she said this, his happy mood disintigrated to anger.
"What? Who?"
"I shouldn't say." For a moment, it was silent again. And she could see that those last words were lingering in his mind. His eyebrows were scrunched up, and she knew what that meant: He needed to find out.
Before he could say anything else to her, the waiter came to the table, saving them from this conversation. "So, what can I get for you two?" He said smiling, completely oblivious to the stupid act that Blair just made.
"Nothing for me, actually. I was just leaving." She placed her napkin on the table, and practically ran out of there. When Chuck didn't come after her, though, was when she got really worried. That meant one of two things, that he just didn't care anymore. Or that he needed to find out, and would do that without her. It was the latter that she was worried about.

When Blair walked into her apartment, she was instantly greeted by Serena. Normally, she sneaks into her room before Serena is even near being awake. She has never been caught before. But she just had to get breakfast. "S, hey." She said non-chalantly as she tried pushing her way past her, but she didn't let her go.
"Don't 'hey' me. Where the hell have you been?" Serena stared at Blair with wide eyes, which was a bad sign. It meant she was suspicious.
"I went to breakfast." She wasn't totally lying when she said that, hopefully she would buy it.
"I mean before that. I mean all night." Blair didn't know what to say. She had no excuses. "Were you with a guy or something?"
Blair's face instantly lit up as the light-bulb went off in her head. 'Yes, the same guy I kissed.' "Yeah, I was."
She finally pushed her way past a shocked Serena. But Serena turned around, not done with this conversation, just like Blair was hoping. "Who was he?"
Still not looking, she smiled. She knew Serena much too well. She cleared her face as she turned back to face her. "I can't tell you that." Serena's mouth opened slightly, shocked at the fact that she wasn't telling her. "I know, I know. We tell each other everything. But he wants to keep in on the down-low for the time being. And I promised that I wouldn't tell anybody, including you, as much as that hurts." She reached for her hand, and Serena's face softened slightly. "I promise you though, you'll be the first to know." They smiled at each other, before Blair ran up to her room with a successful smile on her face.

A couple of hours later, Blair heard a knock on her door. "Come on in, S." She was entirely too wrapped up in her movie to get up and answer the door.
When it opened, though, she didn't see her best friends blonde hair, she saw her boyfriends dark hair. Knowing that Serena was right downstairs, she paused her movie and walked up to him. "I'm not Serena, but can I still come in?" He smiled at her, and she smacked his arm with a serious face. "Ouch Waldorf, we really need to talk about this hitting thing."
"How did you get in here? Serena is here!" She whisper-screamed, scared that Serena was even more suspicious now.
"Yeah, I know. She let me in." He said nonchalantly, and plopped down on her bed, pulling out his laptop.
"What'd you say your reason for coming here was?" She asked, thoroughly confused.
"We were scheming against Vanessa. And since Vanessa practically tried to kill her, she didn't mind one bit." Blair smiled slightly, she loved how smart he was. "But anyway, we have bigger problems.
"Like what?" Blair asked as she walked closer to Dan and saw what webpage he was on: Gossip GIrl.
Looks like Queen B is getting it on with a secret somebody. The question that everyone wants to know, is who? It is the UES, it could be anybody.

"That mother-chucker." She whispered, mostly to herself.
"I'm sorry, did you just say Chuck?" She nodded in defeat. "When did you talk to Chuck?"
"After I left this morning and went to breakfast, he was there. It wasn't planned though, I promise." She saw the look in her eyes, and decided that he trusted her.
He nodded his head back to her. "Okay. Well what did you say to make his tell Gossip Girl?"
"He told me that he missed me, so I told him that I kissed somebody." Dan was silent as he thought about what she was telling him. "What are you thinking?"
He looked at her slightly, a shy far-off look in his eyes. "You told him because he told you that he missed you." She didn't question it, he just accused her of it.
"Excuse me?" She stood up now, a bit furious at him. "Why the hell would I do that?"
"You just told me that you did that!" He screamed at her, and she ran over to him, covering his mouth with her hand.
"Serena. Is. Here. Quiet down!" He nodded his head. "I may have said that, but you should know that I would never do that! You should know that by now. He told me that he missed me, and I told him that I kissed somebody so that I wasn't leading him on. Not because I wanted to make him jealous."
Dan stared at her for a moment, instantly sorry about his accusation. "Blair, I-"
"Just go, Humphrey. I have to get ready for Lily's party anyway." He tried saying more, but she turned away from him, and he knew that meant she was upset with him. He grabbed his laptop and walked out as quickly and quietly as he could.

They caught each other's eyes at Lily's party, but she instantly looked away. 'Damn, she's really mad.' He thought to himself. Still, he couldn't help but admire her beauty. She was wearing a pink dress, not looking like her usual attire, but let's face it, Blair Waldorf can pull anything off. Her hair was up, with a head band holding most of her bangs back, and the remainder of them were curled and hanging loosely on her face. He smiled at the head band, thinking back to one of their first days in college. He decided that he needed to apologize to her. He sent her a text to meet him in Eric's room, figuring nobody would be in there.
He saw her reach for her phone and smile at his text message, and he took that as a good sign. He walked to Eric's room and sat on his bed, waiting for her to come. When she did, she very silently walked up to him. "You wanted to talk to me?"
He smiled at her. She was trying to be mad, but he knew that she wasn't. "I wanted to tell my beautiful, secret girlfriend, that I am so sorry for being an ass earlier. I jumped to conclusions, and that was idiotic of me."
A small smile crept onto her face, and he knew that he'd won. "That's all?"
"That is all."
She grabbed the back of his neck, and he snaked his hands around her hips, kissing her with passion. "That was our first fight." Blair whispered in between kisses.
"If only we were at my loft, we would be having crazy make-up sex right now." He felt her smile into his kiss.
"Who says we have to be at your loft? I think there's a lock on that door." He raised an eyebrow, but in all seriousness, was insanely turned on about the thought of having sex as a secret couple at a big party. He walked over to the door shut it silently, locking it tightly, before pushing her on the bed and jumping on top of her.
Little did they know, though, before the door was shut, somebody had seen them. And they had a video of them kissing.

Downstairs in the lobby, Chuck was about to walk out, when he was stopped by a familiar voice. "Chuck, I know who Blair kissed."
He watched the video and was instantly disgusted and furious when he saw that it was Dan Humphrey. "This can't be real."
"It is. You can confront them, they'll deny it, but it's true."
All was silent for a moment as he stared at her. "Thank you, Vanessa. You've been a great help." With that he walked out.

Blair's head was still spinning from that sex. She walked out of Lily's apartment complex, and held up a hand to catch a taxi. She was stopped, though, by a familiar voice, one she thought she'd never hear again. "Ms. Blair, I've been looking all over for you."
"Prince Louis? What are you doing in here?" Blair asked, shocked, as she walked up to him.
"I came back for you, Blair. I need your help."
