Irresistible

Chapter Six

The entire weekend went extremely too slow for Kristen who at every moment was avoiding the phone calls from Chuck. He kept calling and leaving messages and Sunday morning roses were even delivered to her place. She put them in a vase in her room, but she couldn't stand looking at them because every time she caught sight of the roses or his name on her caller-id her heart began to pound hard, her hands got sweaty, and her stomach did somersaults. Kristen couldn't come to wrap her mind around the fact that she actually liked him in a strange way. He wasn't at all her type. He wasn't at the top of his class and he wasn't much of an avid reader and he cared too much about the things that Kristen didn't care too much about, but yet she found herself falling for him and it drove her crazy. The fact that he actually kissed her is what drove her crazy because she would have never imagined ever kissing him or anything like him. Her mind kept whipping back around to that moment when his lips met hers and all the feelings she had at the moment and there was the fact the most overwhelming feeling at the moment was that she wanted it to keep going and she didn't want to leave his embrace.

After getting used to waking up earlier for the whole make-up thing it was pretty easy for Kristen to get ready in the morning. She wore her hair in an unusual for her high ponytail with a few strands of hair hanging from the side. She put her coat on and walked out of the apartment with her bag over her shoulder. The car pulled up minutes later and as always Susan was inside and she was still going on and on about that day on Gossip Girl though Susan and Gossip Girl had no idea what happened the next day.

"Where's your doll?" Susan asked as the girls got out of the car at school.

"Chuck has it." Kristen said quickly and there he was waiting for her at the entrance to the school with the doll in his arms. He looked uncomfortable standing there of course holding a doll. "Catch up with you in a few Suze." She said to Susan who simply nodded and slipped away to give Kristen and Chuck privacy.

"I've been calling you." Chuck said giving Kristen a smile that she couldn't help, but give back.

"Yeah, I've been busy." She answered quickly.

"Did you get the flowers?" he asked.

"Yes they were nice, thanks." She answered trying to not meet his eyes with hers.

"So I was thinking…umm…maybe Friday you and I can go on a date or something?" he asked as he fidgeted nervously.

"I never thought you ever got nervous." Kristen pointed out with a smirk.

"I do when I'm around someone I like." He admitted.



Kristen simply smiled back sweetly. "Thanks, but Friday I can't. It's my dad and Marissa's engagement party."

"Need a date?" he asked.

"Brian actually is my date…sorry." She said quickly.

"Oh." He said. "I see."

"Yeah, sorry." Kristen said as she looked to see Susan watching the intensely. "Well I better going before the bell rings." She then said breathlessly as she felt him step closer to her. She then felt his hand on her cheek streaking the side with his thumb.

"We will talk later when working with the doll." He said with a laugh as he held up the doll that he obviously had dressed.

"Actually today is the last day of the doll project. We turn them in today along with the papers." Kristen breathed as she felt herself staring to shake.

"Alright then. I guess…umm…I will see you around." He said and luckily the bell rang and the perfect moment for Kristen who used the time to slip away from him. She gave him a small wave and jogged over to Susan.

"What was that?" Susan asked.

"Nothing, let's get to class." Kristen quickly said as she started up the stairs with Susan by her side. She turned to see him standing in the same spot. Their eyes instantly met at that second and Kristen quickly turned away.

Kristen stood in the mirror of her room as she looked over herself as she stood dressed for the engagement party. She and Marissa had gone shopping for dresses for the both of them and now Kristen stood actually wearing a gown, which she never thought she would ever be doing. The dress was a perfect creation that she and Marissa had picked up in Paris straight from Valentino himself who adored Marissa from her modeling days. The dress was an elegant midnight blue that displayed the curves that Kristen had never paid attention to that she even had. With one last look she grabbed her clutch from her bed and made her way downstairs. Her dad, Marissa, and Hannah had already gone ahead, but she was waiting for Brian to come pick her up since he was in fact her date.

Making her way down from the apartment to the lobby of her building she waited looking outside at the rainy day as she waited for Brian. A white limo pulled up and she saw Brian exit with an umbrella and he walked into the lobby where she gave him a wave. She wanted to laugh at his reaction to her. His mouth was wide open as he approached her.

"Krissy…he…hee…hey." He stuttered.



"Hey Bri." Kristen said in a casual manner as she gave him a quick hug.

The two of them exited the building with Brian holding the umbrella to keep Kristen from getting wet. She sat in her seat and they both sat in silence. Kristen felt a bit strange because she could feel Brian's eyes on her body as he looked her over from head to toe nearly a dozen times before they pulled to where the party was and Kristen then gasped as she noticed where they were. With everything going on it had completely slipped her mind that the party was at The Palace Hotel, the very hotel that Chuck lived at. She cursed under her breath, but immediately the door was opened by a Bellman who was holding up a large umbrella. The two of them were escorted to the door and there was someone in the lobby waiting to take them to where the party was located. Kristen just wanted to get to where the party was and quick.

The room that the party was in was beautiful. It was one of the most elegant things that Kristen had ever seen. The chandeliers were huge as they hung over the guests who were mingling all with glasses of champagne. Kristen immediately spotted Susan who waved from where she was with her dad who was no other than Gil. Kristen took Brian by the arm and they quickly made their way over to where Susan and Gil were standing along with Amy and Xianna.

"This party is awesome." Xianna said and then she saw Kristen. "Kris you look amazing!"

Kristen smiled and laughed a bit, "Thanks." She responded.

For Kristen the party was great except for the fact that Brian was hovering over her and he kept finding some way to touch her and it was annoying her like crazy. She moved away from him plenty of times, but then there he always was starring at her and stuttering over his words. The final time he had placed his hand on her lower back as she stood talking to her grandparents and that was the final straw. She politely excused herself saying she was going to the ladies room. Walking out into the hall she was happy to finally have her space and some air. She walked along the corridors in attempt to spend as much time away from Brian as she possibly could. She spotted the beautiful artwork on the ceiling as became engrossed in it as she walked and suddenly she hit something solid, but soft…a person.

"So sorry." She said quickly and she then looked to see she had ran into Chuck. "Er…Hi."

"Hey you look absolutely beautiful." He said with a smile.

"Thanks." She answered.

"So the party here is the engagement party you were going to." Chuck said as he leaned against the wall. "Where's your date?"

"In the party, I had to escape from him for a moment." Kristen said with a laugh. "I better get back though."

"You're avoiding me." Chuck then said.

"I am." Kristen then said looking at him. "I…I…I can't explain it."



"I can." He said as he pulled Kristen's body to his and started to kiss her passionately. His arms went around her body and held her close while Kristen's arms found their way around his neck. Suddenly Kristen pulled away from him and starred at him for a moment.

"I…I can't do this." She then said before she started to run down the hall away from him.

"Kristen wait!" he yelled after her.

Kristen seriously wasn't paying attention to where she was going as long as she made it to the closet exit. She finally made it to doors that lead her outside. As soon as the cold air from outside hit her so did the freezing cold rain that fell from the sky. She then heard her name called as she stood in the rain and right behind her was Chuck who was now standing there as she stood in the spot where she stopped. He slowly then walked over to her and took her hands into his.

"Why do you keep running away?" Chuck asked her.

"Because I'm scared." Kristen then admitted.

"Why are you scared?" he asked as he ran his hand down the side of her face. For the moment Kristen closed her eyes and inhaled.

"I'm scared because I'm attracted to you and that's driving me crazy. Girls like me don't date boy like you, it's just not right. You are not my type at all and here I am every moment I see you I am falling for you even more." Kristen said as she did her best to look him in the eyes as water ran down her face.

"I'm scared too." Chuck then said. "I've only ever been after a girl for sex and never for something real and the only other time that happened I ended up the one with my heart broken and in a way I saw what I was doing to all those girls I slept with and then dumped to the side. With you I see someone I could spend time with, someone who has real goals in life and in a way someone I can look up to. I've been falling for you for weeks ever since you left that day angry with me I realized I wanted you there with me."

Kristen smiled at him before she spoke. "I guess we are both scared then."

"Then we should jump in head first." Chuck said as he pulled her body close to his. He first kissed her forehead and then smiled at her. "I've never actually asked a girl this, but Kristen Deluz will you be my girlfriend?"

Kristen laughed and looked down for a moment biting her lip and then she felt his finger lift her head up so she was looking him in the eyes. "Yes, I will." She said and suddenly he had pulled her into a kiss that took over all of Kristen's senses. Normally she would freak that she was standing in the rain completely drenched, but at the moment the only thing that mattered was what was going on between them in that moment. He then pulled his lips from hers and ran his thumb over her cheek. "I'm soaked." Kristen then said.



"We both are." He laughed before kissing her quickly. "Let's go upstairs and I'm sure Serena will let you borrow a dress."

"Thanks." Kristen said as his arm went around her waist and they walked into the hotel soaking wet.

Kristen now stood in an elevator completely dry with Chuck's arm around her waist. She couldn't believe what was happening. It all seemed to be like a dream to her, but she didn't want it to end ever. Luckily Serena had a dress she could change into and Serena also helped fix her hair and make-up. The two of them stepped out of the elevator and were now walking hand in hand into the ballroom. They had just arrived as they were having everyone be seated for dinner. Kristen found her way to her spot at the family table and Brian sat there with a stunned look on his face.

"You can sit in Andrew's spot since he couldn't make it." Kristen said to Chuck as they reached the table where her friends were seated.

"Right next to you…perfect." He said with a smile as he sat down next to Kristen. Kristen looked over at Susan who looked as if she was going to pass out.

"Tell you later." She mouthed to Susan as the servers started to come around with the salads.
