Chapter 5
This one was slightly longer,yay! Anyway, I don't own Three Days Grace or any of their songs, nor do I own Chuck and Blair. Although I wish I did. Then, they would be conniving together every episode, AND Season 3 would show up TOMORROW!!! *weeps* Reveiw like cuh-razy.
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
"Congratulations, S! God, I can't believe that in four months you're going to be a mom!" Blair embraced her pregnant, glowing friend, the baby belly clearly protruding from underneath her designer maternity dress.
"Aww, thanks, B. I thought with you getting your Masters, you wouldn't be able to come." Serena replied, waving at Dan from across the room. "Dan is so proud, it's actually pretty embarrassing. Everywhere he goes, it's always 'Hey! I'm going to be a dad!"
Blair laughed politely. She never revealed to Serena that she thought Serena could do so much better with a tall, dark, handsome prince from Belgium, or some small but prosperous kingdom in Europe. He would teach her how to sail a yacht, or perfect her tennis techniques. But no, she got stuck with Dan the Douche, living in a 'historical building' in Brooklyn, which was an elegant way of saying a brownstone with nice columns and an oak door.
"Oh, Georgie!" Serena exclaimed, and opened her arms to be hugged by the notorious Georgina Sparks. Well, Georgina Bazain, now. From what Blair's heard, Carter and Georgina eloped drunkenly in Fuji, but never bothered with a divorce. Surprisingly, they turned out happy after all.
"God, I feel so nostalgic, you know? Now every table you'll dance on will probably break. Have you gained weight?" Georgina asked, taking off her Fendi sunglasses.
Serena rolled her eyes lovingly. They had made up during a flight to Thailand. I mean, the flight took 15 hours, and what else were they supposed to do?
"There's no questioning you've grown bitchier." Serena retorted. Then, suddenly, everyone stopped talking. It seemed like all the air from the room had zoomed out. There stood Chuck at the doorway, amidst all the other guests, he was the only person in an evening suit. Everyone else was wearing khaki shorts and flowing summer dresses. Then everyone broke out in conversation.
Blair couldn't breathe. Her clover colored dress seemed suddenly tight, and she wanted to rip the button tabs at either side of her waist off, and use the cloth belt to strangle Chuck with it. Everything was in a dreamlike state, and Chuck seemed to float towards her. When he arrived, he however, did not even look at her. Pecking Serena on the cheek, he could tell Blair was ticked off.
He smiled. "I managed to withhold the cologne, just for you, my dear sister."
Serena pushed him playfully away. "I think I'm going to be sick. And it's not because of the baby." Everything around the vicinity laughed lightly, except for Blair.
She was absolutely fuming, and she had no I idea why. Needing to get away from his teasing, she marched over to Kati-who preferred to be called Katherine now, and Is-who preferred to be called Isabelle. They seized talking the moment they saw Blair heading their way. Although they both went to NYU and Blair to Yale, they were still afraid of what Blair could do. That's why they preferred to have everything out in the open, and be more mature, so Blair couldn't blackmail them when the time came.
They often forget that it isn't that easy avoiding Blair Waldorf's wrath.
"Girls. Isn't this little soiree fun?" Blair forced a smile, barring her teeth.
Kati flipped her shining black hair out of her eyes. "Why yes, Blair."
Blair could tell she was not wanted, and that only mad her more furious. She was the only one that could out somebody. "So, what did you get Serena?" Blair continued, desperately wanting them to worship her like they did in high school. Even if they were needy and desperately boring, they were still her minions.
"Oh, I got her Viktor and Rolfe perfume! Limited edition." Is's eyes shone. The mention of presents got her excited.
Blair tried her hardest not to roll her eyes. "Uh, Is…abelle, sweetie, pregnant ladies are very sensitive to perfume."
Is's eyes cast downward, and Kati shot a dark look over Blair's shoulder, but was definitely directed towards her. Hastily smiling, Blair walked away awkwardly. She can't believe she just got rejected by two dumb bimbos.
God.
Right then, Chuck decided to show up, grazing her wrist, making her Alexis Bittar bangle slide up her arm just a touch. She sighed. "Chuck, I don't have the time right now." She cringed. She was tired. She wanted to go to sleep.
Then she realized that she was horny to begin with…
"I'll make an agreement. You have to leave me alone for the whole entire shower. Then you get what you want." Blair smirked. She was going to win this time.
Chuck smiled. He loved when Blair got this way. It was fun for the both of them. But, he won every time. "Fine. Get ready to lose."
Provoked, Blair clawed at his stomach. "Don't worry. I won't."
"OW!"
Chuck was left hopping on one foot, and Blair smiled. Those trusty D&G pink Lucy bow pumps never failed her.
*******
"Don't you dare stop." Chuck whispered. They were sitting down at the groaning table, weighed down with everything from scalloped potatoes with sweet cream and parsley to wheat berry salad. The desserts were for the guests only, as Dan surprisingly (that was meant to be sarcastic) read every pregnancy book in the local library and got so paranoid as to not let Serena eat ice cream.
"Frozen yogurt my ass." Serena grunted as she secretly ate carton after carton of Ben & Jerry's triple chocolate fudge chunks ice cream whenever she had the chance to sneak into Blair's condo.
Blair squeezed his knee, and waited for his reaction. Even though commotion was at a high, it seemed like everyone could hear the mighty clink of Chuck's fork falling onto the hand painted ceramic plate. Blair quickly withdrew her hand from under the table and placed both of them on top, appearing innocent. Serena was probably the only one who understood what was going on, and immediately averted her eyes and shoved a spoonful of wild rice into her mouth.
"Serena, tell us again of how you found out you were pregnant." Mrs. Astor asked her. Serena quickly swallowed, and glared at Blair, as a warning sign. Both Chuck and Blair understood. Stop the pervertedness. Now.
"Well, it was when I realized I couldn't even stand the sight of cheesecake. And everybody knows I love cheesecake. So, I took a test, and what do you know? A big pink plus sign. So I phoned Dan-he was at a book signing in Germany-and he basically dropped his new phone into his cup of morning coffee. I had to wait for him to call me back, since I didn't know if he would buy a new one or not." Everyone broke out in laughter, pleased that the cute couple was doing so well.
Blair sighed, and continued to eat, a little bit more sober. Why couldn't Chuck and she just get it over with? They didn't even need to say I love you-although it would be nice-, they could remain as just boyfriend and girlfriend. Chuck could sense this change in mood. He did the only thing he could think of. Squeeze her knee back. Blair gasped out of surprise, and that turned Chuck on.
"I need to get some fresh air." Chuck whispered seductively in her ear. He excused himself, got up, and headed for the door. A few good minutes later, Blair excused herself as well, to go to the washroom. There, she tried to pull the collar of her dress down as much as possible, sprayed perfume on her wrists and behind her ears, and ran water through her hair to get rid of the sticky hairspray. Last, she smiled her dazzling smile, and she knew she was ready.
To make him pay.
Abandoning her Botkier bag in the washroom, she confidently walked out of her best friend's baby shower. Oops!
Chuck was outside, smoking a joint. She had grown used to his mix of cologne, smoke and hotel soap that always surrounded him. Once he spotted her, his eyes trailed up and down her body and lingered at her chest. She smiled.
"Chuck…" She kissed him, like she never had before, and Chuck was in heaven, with the honking cars and dirty Brooklyn sidewalks. She pulled gently out of the kiss, and smiled. But it didn't reassure him. It wasn't a smile, it was a smirk. She had won this round.
"That wasn't fair! I only comforted you! It was only a two second squeeze!" Chuck defended, furious with her double-crossing.
"All's fair in love and war. This is a little of both." She wiped her mouth, and winked at him. Walking back inside-making sure to sway her hips-she smiled in triumph. She was back again.
