"Ah Nathaniel my man we have one more week of paradise then it is back to the real world" Chuck spoke lightly as they sat at the bar sipping their drinks.

"Man what are you going to do? You can't avoid her forever" Nate questioned knowing Chuck was scared to see Blair.

Chuck rolled his eyes "For your information I am not worried about seeing her." He lied

Nate chuckled as he watched the girls on the other side of the bar. "You aren't really a good liar Chuck. You do know she called Serena about coming home early?"

Chuck sprouted upwards in his chair "What do you mean coming home early? Isn't she supposed to bonding with her two dads?" He questioned panicked

Nate smiled at his worried friend "Nope she decided to spend the last week with Serena. You are in for it my buddy."

2 hours later...

"Serena get out here!" Chuck yelled as he opened the door to the house

An annoyed Serena entered the living room "May I help you Chuck?"

"How come you didn't tell me she was coming back tonight?"

"Her coming back isn't any of your business. You made that pretty clear when you ditched her." She responded angrily. Serena hated how sad Blair was.

"Look what Blair and I have is our business so why don't you just go and run off to Brooklyn boy, or is it Nate these days?"

Serena rolled her eyes as she picked up her bag and headed out to buy Blair her favorite chocolates. She knew some Go divas would put her best friend in a better mood.

Chuck paced around in his room searching for an outfit to wear. He was finally going to do it; he was going to face her after all this time.

"Hey Chuck, I figured you'd be in here" Chuck heard his little brother Eric say from the doorway.

"Eric my brother how is it going?" He questioned hoping he wouldn't realize why he was searching through his closet for the best outfit.

He chuckled as he took a seat on his bed. "I think I should be asking you the same thing. Getting ready to go see Blair?"

Chuck rolled his eyes knowing he had been caught. "Yes as a matter of fact I am."

"You know Chuck even though you hurt her; I think she really cares for you." He stated sincere.

Chuck looked up at him and smiled "I just hope she won't want to castrate me as soon as she finds out I'm there"

Eric laughed "Trust me Chuck, if you just explained to her what happened she'll understand. If she lets you in she won't shut you out, and that's one of the things I have always loved about Blair." Eric spoke truthfully.

Chuck smiled genuinely thinking about Blair and how much he cared for her, and how she finally opened up and let him in. "Me too"

Eric got up from the bed. "It looks like you have a bus to catch. Good luck"

"Thanks Eric, I really appreciate it."

Eric smiled before he left and closed the door to Chucks' room.

Chuck sighed sitting on the bed "Time to face the music Bass" He muttered to himself softly

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----The bus had finally reached its destination and Blair and Lucas failed to notice since they were very much into their conversation.

"Ah looks like we are here" Lucas stated eyeing the passengers getting out of their seats and headed to the doors.

"Oh yes time to face the real world" Blair sighed sadly

Lucas noticed the sadness in her voice "Blair, I wouldn't worry about seeing him. He's a jerk for leaving you. He is probably trying to concoct some way to get you back as we speak"

Blair smiled up at him and reached for his hand "Luke you really are one of a kind you know that? It is too bad you're only here for a basketball tournament"

Lucas smiled "Who says I have to go to the hotel now?"

"Wow Lucas Scott are you Whitey won't be mad?" She joked

He took her hand and they walked to the door "Ah I am sure Whiteys rebelled in his day. Care for some dinner?" He questioned as the reached the steps

"Of course but you need to let me read a chapter of your story."

The two laughed as they hit the street, still forgetting they were holding hands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am finally going to face her after months apart "Chuck thought to himself as he walked onto the sidewalk to reach the bus.

Chuck stopped dead in his tracks gripping the flowers as he saw Blair and some blonde guy holding hands and laughing. All he wanted to do was run over there and punch this guy out for holding his Blair's' hands. Instead, he backed away before they could see him and headed to his limo full of anger, and hurt.
