Chocolate414 here and I would like to apologize for the long wait. Those of you who have been waiting on me to post can breathe a little easier. I plan to post at least twice a week from here on out.
This chapter involves Blair, Serena, Chuck, and somebody else (you'll have to read it to find out). It's about time for Blair and Chuck to meet and for you guys to get a little history on there relationship. I want for everyone to know that Serena wasn't the only reason why Blair left.
It's hard watching your girlfriend with another man. Especially if that man is Carter Baizen. Blair is sitting directly in front of Serena and her HUSBAND as they chat about different people in the room. Carter has this smirk on his face. A smirk that says, "I've got a hot wife and you wish you were me."
" I wish I was Carter Baizen... I wish I was Carter Baizen... I wish I was Carter Baizen... I wish I was Carter Baizen..." Repeats in Blair's head. She wishes that Serena was playfully laughing in her ear, whispering tiny jokes about the egotistical men and women in this room. She wishes that she wasn't so scared of everyone judging her new relationship, that she and Serena could walk around hand in hand throughout Manhattan and show off how perfect they are together. Only a few hours ago, before her mother and step father's horrid dinner party began, before waiters bombarded her family penthouse, she was in her old bed, in her old room, making love to Serena on soft three thousand dollar sheets (She's still Blair after all). Blair can't help but smile at the thought.
"You're so adorable B... I've never been with anyone who blushes after sex... I mean come on all the stuff you should blush over finished five minutes ago." Serena stared at Blair's rosy cheeks and half smile and began to giggle. She wrapped her arm around Blair's waist and snuggled into the brunette's neck.
"Give me credit Serena. I just finished having sex with my girlfriend, who is also my best friend, and in the bed that I slept in during all of my adolescent years." Blair saw Serena smirk. "I think that's cause to blush."
"Well when you put it that way.." Serena moved so she was on top of Blair's body. She started kissing Blair's jaw, then her chest, then her breasts, her stomach, and then...
Blair loved her life.
Blair hated her life. She gave her mother a fake smile and tried to pay attention to her food. At some point, probably when Serena walked in the door with Carter Baizen on her arm, Blair started feeling that her chef salad was more interesting than the various people in the room.
The fact that Serena seemed more interested in her husband than her girlfriend began to make her seriously anxious and pissed off. She didn't even want to go to this dinner party, she only went to see Serena. Her original plan was to stay hidden from her fans and the paparazzi but with her BRAND NEW RELATIONSHIP she wanted to give this going out in public thing a try. Her publicist and her manager said it couldn't hurt her career. She definitely saw the benefits of being a model. Her mother looked at her with a new found joy and a approval, guys looked at her more, her attitude toward life became more carefree, all the upper east side girls seemed to look at her with envy (Blair loved it no matter what she said), and she was invited to all the best parties. She'd barely been in the city for more than two days and already she was treated like...like...well like Serena. All of these benefits and still she couldn't sit with her girlfriend in front of other people and tell said people that Serena Vander... Baizen was her other half.
Life really sucked... And what made it worse was the fact that Chuck Bass continued to stare at her. His incessant eye goggling, puppy dog eyes, and 'I love you' looks did nothing but irritate her. He'd been trying to get her to talk to him for the past two hours and she would tell him to leave her alone if it wasn't for the jealous looks that Serena would send her way every time she looked at him.
Call her a bitch, but the fact that Serena was jealous and showed some sort of emotion about her small looks at Chuck from time to time was gratifying for Blair. It allowed for the blonde to feel what Blair felt.
Completely pissed off...
Blair swallowed the rest of her wine and told the waiter to get her another glass.
"Make sure this glass is bigger." The brunette smirked as the waiter gave her a concerned look. This was after all her fourth, maybe her fifth glass.
She watched as Serena's eyes followed the waiter as he brought her a larger glass of Moscato and furrowed her eyebrow as she swallowed half the glass in two gulps. At this point she was feeling slightly tipsy. Her mother was now glaring at her rueful display and a few other people in the room were beginning to notice how much she really did not want to be here.
Blair finished her wine and after giving her mother and Cyrus a curt nod, she excused herself and walked up the stairs to her room.
Chuck seeing this as his chance quickly left his table and followed Blair up the stairs.
"I'm going to check and see if she's alright. I'm sure the excitement from today may have taken a toll on her." Chuck gave Eleanor a smile and continued his walk to Blair's room but not before he saw the "look of death" that Serena gave him. He could've sworn that he'd seen jealousy in the blonde's eyes. Shaking his head, he continued his ascent to Blair's room.
Chuck noticed how everything looked completely the same. The pastels on the walls, the distinction of the carpet, even the curtains over the windows. Chuck knocked once, then twice, and then a third time. He heard someone move behind the door and then a polite yell.
"Who is it?" Chuck wondered if the brunette knew who it was, would her voice still sound so polite?
"It's me Chuck!" He heard silence for maybe ten seconds and thought to try again. "Blair I know you're in there. I just want to talk. Don't you think I deserve that much? Especially since you disappeared for more than a year." If Blair wouldn't answer him in a calm and civilized manner, then angry as hell would have to do. It seemed as if his words served there purpose.
He felt a light breeze as the door swung upon faster than he was able to recognize. It took him a moment to focus on Blair's face but when he did, he knew he was in a world of trouble. Blair's body was calm, but her eyes and demeanor said everything. The cold look of death that she was giving him made his skin crawl and Chuck felt a shiver go up his spine.
"Here we go." he thought. Chuck braced himself for World War III.
Blair pulled Chuck by his collar into her room, slammed the door, and then locked it. She shoved Chuck against the wall and clenched her fists as if she were going to punch him. Now that she was safely in the confines of her room, away from her mother's guests, she could unleash her fury.
"How dare you bring your egotistical man-whorish ass into my house. Did the fact that I left you without a trace not send the message Chuck? I don't want anything to do with you." Chuck felt a sting in his heart. He knew Blair was mad, but he didn't expect this. "Do you really think that I came back to New York so that I could continue to waste my time with you? Have you forgotten that I walked in on you fucking that Russian model in our bed, or what used too be our bed? Your charm won't save you this time Chuck." Blair snarled at him. For once Chuck Bass was fearful of what the brunette may do.
"I know what I did Blair and I know that I hurt you but, I've grown. I haven't been with any women for over a year. The night you left I pushed myself to change." Chuck tried to speak up but was halted by the hand that Blair brought to his face.
"The fact that you think that taking a year off from being the biggest slut in Manhattan would make me want you back reminds me why I haven't thought twice about you since the day I left. Do you honestly think that I don't know about the other women Chuck? You may have P.I.'s on speed dial but, I'm the Queen B. I knew about every single one of those women and I foolishly stayed with you."
Blair walked to her closet and pulled out a box and brought it too her bed. She opened it and let hundreds of pictures fall unto the bed. She picked up a handful of them and threw them in Chuck's face. She picked a few more photos off the bed and showed them to Chuck, one by one.
"This girl's name was Lisa. I remember it so vividly because she was the first girl I found out about. She was waitress at 'The Empire'." Blair threw the photo of Chuck and Lisa together on the kitchen counter at his face. "This girl's name was Amber and she went to Columbia. I believe she was a graduate student, but that didn't seem to stop you. Did it Chuck? You've always had a thing for older women. Haven't you?"
Girl after girl, picture after picture until Blair finally stopped her ranting and looked at the petrified look in Chuck's eyes. He was completely silent and watched as Blair's cool demeanor returned. Filing away all of the photos, Blair shoved the box into Chuck's chest and turned around.
"Get the HELL out of my room." Chuck walked to the door planning on doing just that when he stopped. He was guilty. He knew that more than anyone else. But he also knew that he wasn't the only guilty person in there relationship. He turned around letting his own anger take control.
"And what about you Blair? I know that I'm the main reason for our break up, but I'm not the only reason. I know what happened between you and Nate. I wasn't as blind as you may think. I saw the way the two of you looked at one another. Nathaniel may be my best friend but he's not as smart and conniving as we are when it comes to love and games." Blair turned around and gave Chuck a glare.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Blair smirked at Chuck's anger. She was tired of being the only angry one.
"The hell you don't. You slept with Nathaniel. I know you did and you know what made it worse. The fact that Nathaniel fell in love with you and at some point I think you loved him back." Chuck's rage was in full effect but Blair remained calm. At this point the brunette was sick to her stomach with him.
"I never slept with Nate. While you were off doing God knows what with those other girls I was lonely. Serena was off dating Carter and Nate and I were the only one's left. Nate told me he had feelings for me but I expressed to him that I only had feelings for you." Blair said everything without hesitation. "Tell me Chuck what proof do you have that I did anything with Nate? Outside of what Gossip Girl speculated, what do you have to follow up on your theory?" Blair watched him open his mouth and then close it. "You don't have anything Chuck. You want to know why? BECAUSE I NEVER CHEATED ON YOU. My tears over you are long and gone and I no longer care for anything that you have to say. Now for the final time GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Blair was sure that some of he people downstairs heard her voice but she didn't care. She'd been through to much because of Chuck and she was completely through.
Chuck opened the door and left Blair's room quietly. As he walked down the stairs, he was thankful that only a handful of people looked him over. He sprinted toward the elevator and called his limo. He needed to get drunk. He needed to get to the Empire. He needed Blair and he knew that was damn near impossible. He was going to sit and find a way to win Blair back. If it took years, he would wait. He owed Blair that much.
Serena watched as Chuck sprinted to the elevator and excused herself from the table. She was agitated because Chuck Bass had been in Blair's room for more than an hour and her jealousy had begun to take over. Giving Carter a small wink she told him that she was going to go check on Blair.
The blond was suprised too see the brunette's door wide open. Blair was sitting on the bed with her head in her hands crying. When she heard someone walk into the room she wiped her face and looked toward the door to find herself staring at blue orbs. Serena quietly shut the door and locked it.
"Baby... What's wrong? Are you okay? What did Chuck do?" Serena was extremely concerned and didn't expect the angry look that Blair sent her way.
"I don't know why you care. It seems as if you're completely happy with your husband down stairs. Why don't you just leave." Serena stood there for a moment and composed herself. Blair stood from the bed and walked to the bathroom, got a towel and began to wipe her face.
"Blair you know that I'm in love with you. It was your idea that we continue to act as if we're not together. I mean come on, I was just putting on a show for your mother's guests downstairs." Blair looked in the mirror and saw Serena's sad eyes. Three days into their relationship and already they were fighting. Blair didn't even know if they could call this a relationship. 'The socialite/model and the Manhattan housewife' ,the thought made her cringe.
"Well I commend you on your performance Serena, you're putting on a wonderful show. I just didn't think that it would be so easy for you to fall into the Manhattan housewife role less than an hour after you finished sleeping with me." Blair knew it was a low blow. The hurt look in the blonde's eyes told her she'd stepped a little to far. For a day that started off so perfect, she could tell that it was going to end real shitty.
Serena didn't say a word. Whatever happened with Chuck changed Blair's mood completely. She knew that her actions downstairs in front of Blair didn't help her case but she was insanely jealous. And even with Blair's bitchy mood, all she wanted to do was grab the brunette by the waist and kiss her senseless.
"I'm sorry babe." Serena gave Blair one of her adorable looks and Blair gave a small smile.
"I'm sorry too." Putting their foreheads together Serena nudged Blair to the bed. Lying on top of her she began to kiss the column of Blair's neck.
They both knew they didn't have time for this. There were people downstairs and taking this type of chance wouldn't be the best move. Pulling themselves off the bed they began to rearrange there dresses.
"Come back downstairs. I was lonely without you there with me." Serena continued to nuzzle Blair's neck.
"Okay, just let me fix my make up." Five minutes later both girls were walking down the steps. Blair was suprised to see more people than before. Serena took a seat next to Carter but continued to watch Blair.
Blair saw her mother talking to some man in a leather jacket but couldn't figure out who he was. It wasn't until her mother signaled for her to come over, did the man finally turn to face her, she recognized who he was immediately.
"Hey Blair" His beautiful green eyes gave her body a look over.
"Hi Nate" Blair stood there shocked.
"Long time no see." It definitely had been.
So what do you guys think? I think Chuck needed to understand that he's not as charming and discrete as everyone may think he is and Serena needed to get a taste of her own medicine (her being married and all). I still have big plans for Chuck and Serena but, they both may have some big competition in their hands with Nate. Him being single and not a "man-whore" and all. I think they both need something to shake them up a little bit.
Don't forget to review. Thanks for reading
