Chapter 9

Blair was silent. He looked down and saw that she was asleep. Her head rested on his strong arm. He looked at her brown head and smelled the vanilla scent of her hair. It was comforting.

*****

Blair woke up from the best sleep ever. Really it was like she did not need too dream for it was more beautiful than her fantasies. She took in her surroundings and realized she was on the floor her back leaning on the wall and her head on Chuck's shoulder. Of course it was better than the dreams , they were usually about Chuck , and here she've gotten Chuck in person. She looked at the sleeping Chuck. The devil , her devil , looked like a child , like an angel , her angel .She realized that they were holding hands. His hand was warm and it fit right through her. If she was not Blair Waldrof she would have kissed him then and there , even in his sleep , but she needed to keep what was left of her pride. You can keep your pride and get nothing or take a risk and maybe , maybe get everything. She remembered Dan Humphrey's words. Ugh now Humphrey was her inspiration. She said in his ear:"Chuck , we are holding hands."

He groaned and slowly woke up.

"_Blair."

"_I was saying that we are holding hands."

He looked down at their hands , how there were entwined as one.

She said , gathering up her courage , this was her last shot at happiness:" Chuck , I love you , I am in love with you , I am yours.You are taking over me , my mind , my soul , my heart , my health. I want to hear it from you , I need to hear it from you."

Chuck's heart skipped a beat at her words. She loved him , needed him , she was his.

Blair was awed by her courage. He took her hand and he kissed it while looking into her eyes. There were tears in both their eyes.

Suddenly , the office door opened and Willow sang :"Sixty minutes are up!"

Blair and Chuck jumped up from the floor and both stood gracefully.

Willow said :"So did sixty minutes change things to the better?"

Blair said:" My , my! Well miss Willow , you should get a well deserved adulation. Leaving two people locked in a therapist office for an hour, risky yet effective!"

Chuck smirked:" Leaving Chuck Bass and Blair Waldrof locked in a therapist office is, however, passionate"

Blair and Chuck shared a small smile.

Their eyes locked for a whole minute. The intensity they had awed Willow to silence.

Chuck looked at Willow, he broke the silence:"Let's get back to business."

Blair and Chuck looked at Willow expecting an answer.

Willow stared right back through expecting an answer.

After a while Willow gave up, they were a stubborn, intimidating, beautiful, intelligent couple.

"What about you tell me what happened in there?" She proposed.

Blair looked at Chuck with disbelief: "Is she seriously bossing us around?!"

Chuck said to Blair:" Don't worry"

He looked at Willow and said:"What about you show us the papers?"

Willow thought of what she should say, with those two it was as if there were a right answer…..Willow felt as if her patients were trying to control did they know how she will soon control did not earn her masters degree for nothing.

Willow looked at Blair:"Did he do what you wrote?"

Blair shook her head mysteriously.

"Chuck did she do what you wrote?"She asked Chuck.

Chuck smirked secretively.

Willow gave each a piece of paper.

"That is what I wrote but that is Chuck's handwriting!

"Same answer, Waldrof's handwriting!

They both said together.

Chuck's paper in Blair's hand said: Win

Blair's paper in Chuck's hand said: Win

Willow said:"Really all you had to was write what you wanted , but you both wrote the same thing. You both lost in the game that was done so both of you can win. It takes people like you to lose in a win-win situation!"

Blair said , raising her eyebrows:" You are only angry because we won and you lost."

Willow said:"Huh?"

Chcuk explained:" Your method did not work! This hour did not change things to the better."

Willow said:" Since you have problems with my methods maybe we should find someone else to come with Blair here."

Chuk said:" I thought I was the cause of her problem."

Willow said:" My point exactly , maybe we should find someone that is good to her , good for her."

Chuck said:" Fine."

He went to leave , but Blair said:" Chuck , wait."

He said:" Blair this is really pointless."

Blair replied;" Are you giving up on me?"

He said:" Blair I am hot and hungry and I've been in this office for an hour. I need a breath."

He left.

Blair said to Willow , angrily:" Thank you now he feels like I am chocking him. You are supposed to help me!"

Willow said:" Don't blame me if spending an hour with you was too much for him."

Blair felt like she have been slapped.

She turned to leave , but Willow said:"Look , I am sorry."

Blair felt the tears roll down :"I just need to be alone."
Willow said: "I am your therapist talk to me."

Blair sat on the chair and Willow sat on hers.

Blair said:"IU told Chuck I love him , twice during that hour. Willow I threw up in front of him. I am sick , sick of being sick. I want my health back."

Willow said:"I am proud of you , I know it must be hard on you to tell him that. Blair , you either need to make things good with Chuck or forget him completely. Because Blair your health is linked to you two have an obsession for winning , this has to change for you two to work out."

Blair said: "He doesn't want us to change he said not if it changed us not if it meant losing what we have. Plus I do not even know if he wants this to work.

Willow said: "Why wouldn't he? Blair you are smart, beautiful, ambitious, classy, and a true lady. You are hard worker and a charming woman."

Blair replied:" Does he see that?"

Willow said:"In most my therapy sessions , men do not even bother to see their wives. He came , didn't he? Without you asking him is how much you screw uo , that is how much he cares.I think you know what you have to do now."

She winked.

Blair nodded and she and Willow hugged.

Blair said:"Oh I will bring you a chocolate box tomorrow , okay?"

Willow nodded as she saw the empty box on her desk , imagining what happened , she said:" You do not have to."

Blair replied:" Blair Waldrof is not indebted to anyone."

Willow smiled and said:" See you tomorrow , do not be late I have a surprise. Bring Chuck too."

Blair nodded and went out the door then she came back and said:" Thank you."

*****

"_For the thousandth time , Serena I am doing fine."

Blair said into telephone.

Serena said:"I am just worried , B."

Blair said:"By the way , what is the wildest club around?"

Serena replied:"Why?"

Blair replied , in fake innocence:" Just asking"

Blair wrote down the address and said:" Thank you S , bye."

She opened her closet , looking for the perfect dress.

*****

Dorota watched astonished as Blair walked down the stairs wearing a black strapless dress her bare back looking soft as pearls. Blair swirled around and said:"What do you think , Dorota."
Dorota said: "Miss Blair you look beautiful , where are you going-"

Blair replied:" I may come back home late tonight , Dorota. Goodnight."

She sent an air kiss to Dorota and entered the elevator.

Dorota replied:" Remember Blair , God always watching."

*****

Chuck laid on his back. He did not think of ways to bring back his company , he did not call a girl , he could not think of anything except : Chuck , I love you , I am in love with you , I am yours. You are taking over me , my mind , my soul , my heart , my health. I want to hear it from you , I need to hear it from you.

Blair throwing up before his very eyes because of him , Blair sleeping on his arm , Blair , Blair , Blair….

He was obsessing.

Someone knocked on his door , he went and opened the door.

There she stood , Blair Waldrof , and she looked absolutely gorgeous.

Her brown hair was all raised up from her face showing her delicate features. She was wearing a short black dress. It showed her nice silhouette.

I will show you how care free I can be , I will show you that I don't choke people , that I amnot a weight on my man she vowed to herself , she said:"I know where we can take the breath you needed earlier."
