"the air i breathe is filled with you, and i couldn't even fight all those feelings i feel coz those are the one's keeping me from sinking into the blue"

When they reached the club entrance, Blair pulled Dan into a corner and said,

"I can't believe you actually agreed to this after the perfect plan i made for us, you completely back-stabbed me Humphrey" Blair said in an angry voice.

"Uuhh.. excuse me Blair but were you not there, i did try to back out"

"Well, you should have tried harder" Blair said with a sharp tone.

"Hey guys, are you not coming in" Nate asked looking back.

"Just a second" Blair replied and after her went inside, turned back at Dan and putting her hands at his collar and coming Blair warned, "This is my last warning to you Dan Humphrey, if you keep dodging my plans like this, I will make sure to ruin all your plans, completely"

Dan stared at Blair dumbfounded. He was only hearing what she was saying, but didn't understood any word at all. All his was focus turned on her proximity and her hands that were holding his shirt-collar. He could actually feel the warmth of her body even though it wasn't touching his and he wished it was. This girl staring angrily at him was making his body alert in a lot of ways he never imagined was possible.

Blair was so angry at Dan that she didn't even noticed him gazing madly at her. But she was suddenly alerted by the situation when his hands held her waist and pulled her closer to him. She looked at his eyes shocked by his reaction and found them dark, filled with passion. Blair held her breath when Dan pulled her more closer, closing all the distance between them.

Dan was looking intently at Blair's lips and bent forward to touch them with his own when suddenly a voice interrupted them.

"B, where are you? We're waiting." Serena called loudly. Dan and Blair broke out from their embrace, both feeling empty by the loss of attachment.

"We should better get in" Blair said avoiding his gaze.

"Yeah, we should" Dan said finally looking at Blair who was still blushing.

They went silently inside the club where their three friends were waiting. Well, not exactly three as Chuck was busy with few of the girls at the counter.

"Blair, are you OK you look a bit flushed" Nate asked concerned, "Come here, sit with me"

Nate pulled Blair next to him before she could say no.

Dan sat next to Serena who was checking out the club and looked impressed by it. But nothing could not impress Serena. She was beautiful and because of it thought the whole world was beautiful. Suddenly, Serena looked alert and turned towards Dan

"This is my favorite song, will you dance with me Dan" Serena asked Dan flirtatiously.

Dan turned to look at Blair looking dazed.

"I'm not exactly what you call a good dancer, hell i can't move my feet at all"

"How about i teach you how to dance Dan" Serena said excitedly, "Common it'll be fun, I'm a great partner by the way. Nate, please tell Dan what a fabulous partner I am" Nate laughed at Serena's childishness.

"Yes, Dan Serena's a great partner not as amazing as Blair though, Blair"

Blair came out of her daze and looked at Nate with her raised eyebrows, clearly oblivious to their previous conversation.

"May I have a dance with you" Nate bowed at Blair and extended his hands which Blair took casually, much to Dan's disappointment.

Serena then pulled Dan out of his seat and dragged him to the dance floor unwillingly. After trying to make Dan dance, Serena finally gave up and went towards Nate and Blair who were dancing. Dan felt a surge of jealousy hit him at the sight of Nate and Blair.

"B, can i please have this dance with Nate. I am tired of getting hit on my foot all the time" Blair left Nate and Serena took his arms.

"Hey, we're dancing. Serena, don't do this to us. Go dance with Chuck"

"Chuck is missing and I really need this dance so Nate, shut up and dance with me. I know I'm not B but i'm not that bad either" Serena said charmingly at Nate and Nate sighed giving in.

"So, would you like a dance" Dan asked Blair extending his hands.

"I thought you said you were not much of a dancer" Blair held his hands keeping her gaze on his.

"You'll be surprised" Dan smiled coyly at Blair and took her more deeper into the crowd and when they faced each other the music suddenly changed into a slow romantic one.

Dan smiled at Blair and Blair smiled right back. Dan kept his hands on Blair's waist and she kept her's on his shoulder. As the song went on, Dan and Blair got closer and closer. Blair kept her head on Dan's chest and listened to his heartbeat. Dan kept his one hand on her waist and the other at her head stroking her hair.

They stayed that way for a long time until the dance floor started getting crowded.

"I think we should go back to our table. It's getting loud and crowded and I don't want anyone stepping on my shoes and ruining this moment for me"

Blair looked up at Dan who nodded and taking her hand in his guided her towards their table from the dance floor. When they reached their table they saw Nate and Serena hovering around a beaten Chuck Bass. Blair dragged Dan forward

"What happened?"

Nate looked at Dan and down at his hands clasped together with Blair. Dan let go of Blair's hand feeling a bit guilty, Blair went onto look at Chuck

"Who did this?" Blair asked again.

"Chuck was fooling with this girl when suddenly her boyfriend came and hit him" as soon as Serena said those words both Nate and Serena started laughing, Dan joined them shortly after looking at the beaten Bass earning him a glare from Blair.

"Chuck, are you okay?" Blair asked with concern.

"I'm fine Blair. He just caught me by surprise. I didn't even knew she had a boyfriend" Chuck smiled smugly and added, "I'm heading home. This party is so over for me"

"But we just arrived" Serena pouted

"Actually S, it is already dark outside if you haven't noticed"

"It is?" Serena said with a stunned expression.

"I think we should all head home now" All of them nodded at Blair.

Serena hugged Blair and went to take Chuck by her arm.

"So, we'll see you guys later" Serena called back and went out with Chuck.

"So that leaves the three of us. What say Dan, we both leave Blair at her house and grab few drinks before heading home" Nate asked Dan.

"Well, I have to get home soon and am already late. What about we get those drinks some other time"

"Fine by me"

They headed out of the club before Nate got a call. He excused himself and came back to say,

"I'm sorry guys, my mom wants to see me right now. She said it was an emergency so I'll have to head home. Dan will you take Blair home for me" Dan nodded at Nate

"Thanks man, and Blair I'm so sorry but I'll call you right after I deal with this situation, whatever it is and we can go out on a date later" Nate hugged Blair tightly and gave a quick peck on her lips before getting on the car.

Blair and Dan both remained silent on their drive back at Blair's. When they reached her home before Blair could get out of the elevator Dan asked,

"Why are you doing this?"

"What" Blair asked surprised by his question.

"You said you wanted to end things with Nate, didn't you?"

"Yes I did"

"What happened? Did you change your mind?"

"No"

"Then why?"

"I just, i can't do it. I can't break his heart"

"He was the one who broke your heart Blair"

"Well technically he was but that was such a long time ago and Serena already apologized for it"

"What about Nate?"

"We haven't had a talk after the revelation, I was avoiding him"

"You were avoiding him Blair, why?"

"I just thought that if I avoid him for long maybe we will fall apart slowly and cease to love each other"

"You both love each other" Dan asked stunned.

"Why, is that so hard to believe?"

"I do understand Nate's love for you. He makes puppy eyes whenever you're around and whenever he talks about you. But you, you don't even seem to care about his presence" Dan explained

"I wasn't always like this you know, I used to love Nate. The mere feeling of loving him used to make me happy. But now, now it's just so hard for me that I don't even wanna think about him, is that bad?"

"What?"

"Is that bad that I don't wanna face my feelings anymore. Its like i'm becoming this weaker version of me. I used to be Blair Waldorf, the strongest, the courageous. Now I don't have the strength or the courage anymore"

"What are you saying you are the most strongest girl I've ever met. Don't let your weakness drown you Blair"

Blair looked at Dan's eyes which were gazing intently at her and felt something flutter inside her. It was a foreign feeling for Blair and without even knowing what she was doing she went to her tip-toes, bent towards Dan and kissed him on his lips.

Dan was stunned when Blair touched her lips with his. An electricity passed through his whole body as soon as their lips met. He pressed his body into hers and backed her towards the elevator's wall. Dan deepened the kiss not wanting to let her go at all his hand running through her hair and her back, her hands moving around his chest creating a wonderful sensation inside him. When they ended their kiss both were breathless. Dan looked at Blair who was staring downwards

"Blai.."

"Shh.." Blair stopped Dan by putting her finger in front of his mouth, "Shh.. let's not talk about it" Blair pulled her away from Dan and Dan felt a sense of emptiness inside of him.

"Thank you for dropping me home Dan. I'll see you tomorrow" And before Dan can even form a reply Blair ran away from there leaving a stunned Dan behind.

Later that night Blair got a message from Dan

"I really love the way you smell"

But she never replied back.
