Chapter Fourteen: Chocolate kisses

Chuck was in his office trying to catch up on work. He had been ignoring it for too long and now it really had to be done. His accountant was going to kill him if he saw the state of his books. He decided he was going to need some fuel if he was going to get through all of this by five o'clock today. He rang the front desk and ordered some coffee and a sandwich. As much as he tried to concentrate, all he could think about was seeing Blair, Tabitha and Josh last night. They looked like a family and although he didn't want to admit it, that did hurt him. It made him realise he wanted them to be his family. To be the family he never had. He had thought about all day and it was starting to drive him insane. He sighed and put his head on the table.

There was a knock on the door. "Just put it on the table."

"Put what on the table?" Tabitha asked a little confused, "I don't have anything."

Chuck looked up and saw Tabitha standing at the door in her school uniform with her school bag on her back. He smiled at her, "sorry Miss Tabitha, I thought you were somebody else."

Tabitha walked over and stood beside Chuck's desk, "Are you sad Mister Chuck?"

Chuck smiled, and took her school bag from her back before he lifted her onto his desk, "No just a little bit stressed. I have a lot of work to do. How was school today?"

"It was ok. They sent me some papers home for Mom."

"Can I see them?"

Tabitha nodded and lifted a pile of folded up papers out of her school bag. She handed them to Chuck who unfolded it and read through them. "This one is about extracurricular activities. They want you to pick two of them. There is music, dance, and sports. Which one do you want to do?"

"Music and dance."

"Do you want to play the piano, the violin, the cello or the flute?"

"The piano I guess. I don't know the others."

"Ok so piano and ballet. Does that sound ok?"

Tabitha nodded. Chuck filled in the rest of form. Tabitha sat on the desk and swung her legs while she watched Chuck. The door opened and a girl came in with a plate of food. She smiled as she put the food on the table. Chuck thanked her and then she left. Tabitha lifted two fries from the table and put them in her mouth. She smiled at Chuck who couldn't help but grin at the child.

"So Miss Tabitha, what are the rest of the papers?"

Tabitha handed Chuck two other envelopes, "probably telling you I am a genius."

Chuck laughed, "probably seeing as you are a little genius."

Tabitha looked at him and nodded seriously. Tabitha lifted another handful of fries and popped them into her mouth one at a time. Chuck rolled his eyes to her and then turned his attention back to the letters in front of him. He opened them and read them, "ok this is all your vacation days. Wow far too many if you ask me", Chuck smiled at her before looking back down at the papers, "and this one is a list of things you need for school, books, art supplies, ballet shoes. Such a lot of things Miss Tabitha."

"Mister Chuck, why do you always call me Miss Tabitha?"

Chuck looked up at Tabitha with an amused look on his face. He realised that he did always call her Miss Tabitha but now it was just a habit, "well why do you call me Mister Chuck?"

"Well that is your name. Mine is just Tabitha."

Chuck tapped her lightly on nose, "well as far I am concerned it is Miss Tabitha"

Tabitha smiled, "I do like you Mister Chuck. As much as I like Mommy and I love her."

Chuck was a little taken back by what Tabitha had just said. She had basically said that she loved him and he didn't know how to reply to that. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak, but Tabitha's mind had already moved onto the next thought. "Do I really get to do ballet like Angelina Ballerina and wear pink shoes?"

"I don't know who she is, but you do get to ballet. We can go get you pink ballet pumps if you like."

"Yes please. This hotel is boring today."

"Ok, let's go."

Chuck set Tabitha back onto the floor. He lifted his suit jacket from the back of his chair and put it on. He fixed his tie, and put his hand out for Tabitha. They walked into the hotel lobby and were met by Blair, "hey, where are you two going too?"

"We are going shopping; Miss Tabitha needs things for school. Would you like to come with us? We won't be that long."

"That sounds good, but my boss has given me a lot of work to do."

Chuck rolled his eyes, "I think he will understand. I don't really fancy the sandwich my assistant picked, so why don't we get some lunch afterwards."

"Can we have chocolate cake?" Tabitha asked.

Chuck smiled, "I think I can find somewhere that serves chocolate cake for you."

"Awesomes."

Blair smiled and ruffled Tabitha's hair, "don't tell Chuck but I know the place that serves seventeen different types of chocolate cake. We can guide him there without him even knowing it."

"I think that is awesome," Tabitha whispered loudly to Blair, "but hurry up."

Blair rolled her eyes, "ok then, let me just grab my bag and a coat."

XxXx

Chuck, Blair and Tabitha were sitting in the café around the corner from the hotel. They had finished shopping for a while ago, and were watching the people rush by the window. Blair was sipping a latte while Tabitha was teaching Chuck all her rules for being a boss. It was certainly teaching Blair something, it was teaching her that her daughter would probably be president one day.

"Hey Miss Tabitha why don't you go and play with those toys over there? Then we can get an ice-cream on the way back to the hotel."

"Ok Mister Chuck."

Blair watched Tabitha until she settled down with a jigsaw puzzle on the mat. She turned back to Chuck who was watching Tabitha too, "she doesn't have much to learn does she?"

Chuck smiled before meeting Blair's eyes, "I honestly think we need to ring NASA. She is a genius."

"You know, I never thought I would see it."

Chuck frowned, "see what?"

"See the day you would all soft and gooey."

Chuck laughed, "I wish I could defend myself and say I am still a tough ass but she has too much of an effect on me. It is a little pathetic but I am pretty sure that child could get me to do pretty much anything by just asking."

"Interesting," Blair grinned, "I might just have to test that out sometime."

"That's just plan mean. I lay out my soul to you and you just make jokes."

"I am shocked, that you think you have a soul." Blair nodded seriously. She realised her eyes were locked into Chuck's and she didn't know how to break it. She forgot where she was and realised that she needed to break this tension, "So, mmh... when is Mila back in town?"

Chuck looked away. He realised he hadn't mentioned the break up to Blair yet. He took a quick sip of his coffee, and glanced over to check Tabitha was still playing on the mat, "she probably isn't coming back. We broke up just before she left."

Blair set her coffee back down on the table and put her hand on Chuck's arm. He felt the warmth in her hand from where she had been holding her cup. He quickly glanced at her hand and then back up to meet her eyes. A small smile was on her face, "I'm sorry Chuck, are you ok?"

"You know I am perfectly fine with it. Does that make me a horrible person?"

"Not if it's true. When its right, its right and when it's not ending it should make you feel better. You'll have no problem finding someone else", Blair smiled sipping her coffee.

"I think I found her a long time ago."

Blair froze. She held the cup over her lips for a second. She knew what Chuck meant; it was obvious what he meant. She didn't know what to do. Her heat was screaming for her to put down the cup and kiss him. She wanted to kiss him more than anything right now that it was all she could think about. She forgot where she was, she forgot everything else except for Chuck. She always thought the movies exaggerated when the background noise faded out but it really did. She set the cup down on the table without taking her eyes Chuck. All she could hear was her heart beat. She leaned in and put her hand on Chuck's face, "I really hope you mean me."

Chuck laughed and kissed Blair softly on the lips, "of course I mean you. It's always been you Blair."

"Wow I just kissed Chuck Bass, I feel like I am sixteen again."

Chuck laughed and kissed Blair on the forehead, "I kiss like a sixteen year old boy. That does wonders for my ego." Chuck quickly sought out her lips again.

"Stop fishing for compliments." Blair mumbled against his lips, "You kiss like you always did."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Well I keep coming back don't I?"
