Problem is, in New York, everyone loves a good scandal. And what bigger scandal is there than the Chuck Bass... taken? Seems like everyone's going to be watching Gossip Girl for this scoop.

Chapter Five:

The Raydehr's Celebratory Gala Event had just gotten underway. Limo after Limo arrived at the entrance of Supreme Court Judge Raydehr's mansion promptly at 7:30. The mansion was decorated extravagantly, both inside and out. The live orchestra provided the ballroom with pleasant background music. Just by the looks of everything, it was clear that no expense was spared for the design of the party. It was immaculate.

It screamed money, privilege, and more importantly… the Upper East Side.

However, there was more to this party than just the celebration for the Judge and his family. It was also the night that seemed to be on the topic of every circle's gossip. Among the adults of the room it was the chance to see just who was invited to the party and who wasn't and, of course, the ever important question of why said person(s) were invited and why said person(s) weren't. While, for the younger generation, it was a chance to see if there would be any drama to report to Gossip Girl. Things had been rather boring as of late, seeing as how Serena and Lonely Boy had broken up, Chuck and Nate were now on speaking terms once again and Blair was in Europe.

And of course…Chuck Bass was again free from Blair Waldorf.

Of course, there was the typical everyday gossip, as well, but there was, as of yet, no new scandal…and things were getting rather dull for the Upper East Siders.

As Chuck walked into the venue with his father, his new step-mother, Serena and Eric he quickly scoped out the route to the closest drink available. He could only hope that the night picked up rather quickly.

As Chuck and the new Bass family stopped at the door to be announced, he heard some giggling coming from his right. He looked over to find a few intriguing prospects talking to one another. He was able to pick up a few statements here and there about what they were vapidly going on about.

"So, do you think he and Blair are still together?" one of the blondes asked.

"Didn't you hear? She left for Europe without him and apparently he spent the night with the decorator," the redhead replied.

"So, he's still free?" the blonde questioned as if the answer weren't already obvious. This was Chuck Bass they were talking about. He's always free… now that Waldorf's claws were out of him.

"According to Gossip Girl, he's been behaving like his usual self since the summer began." A brunette answered.

Chuck blinked at the brunette as she turned her head slightly. Just as quickly as he saw the unknown girl from the café, she was gone, and the brunette in front of him replaced the mystery girl's face.

Chuck shook his head of those thoughts before smirking to himself as he then looked one of the blondes up and down when she realized that he was standing right there. When his eyes got up to her face he just gave her a smirk that clearly said he would be talking to her later.

Ignoring the glances that came their way when they were announced, as Mr. and Mrs. Bart Bass of Bass Real Estate, Serena Van der Woodson, heiress to the Van der Woodson Shipping Firm, Charles Bass, heir to Bass Real Estate and Eric Van der Woodson, heir to the Van der Woodson Shipping Firm, he began looking around the room for Nathaniel.

Spotting him, he made his way forwards, but not before grabbing a flute of champagne as a waiter walked by.

"Nathaniel," Chuck called out when he got closer.

Nate smirked at him, "Nice entrance, heir of Bart Bass."

Chuck rolled his eyes, "You would think that with the amount of money these people spend on ruining the fun out of the Upper East Side's youth that they could at least remember more than whose son I am."

Nate laughed and took his own flute of champagne from the waiter, nodding in thanks as the waiter walked away. After taking a drink he turned back to Chuck with a confused and slightly annoyed expression of his face, "By the way… Dude, why'd you ditch me yesterday? Where were you?"

The repeated thought of the woman he had met at the café caused Chuck to smirk in both annoyance and in fond remembering, "It looks like we might have a new member in the Upper East Side."

Nate raised his eyebrows knowingly, "You met her already?"

Chuck smirked at him, "She intrigued me enough that I simply had to make her acquaintance."

Nate shook his head with a half annoyed, half amused smirk on his face, "What an introduction; a night with you. Does she at least realize that you do make your 'acquaintances' with every other girl on the Upper East Side as well?"

"She will soon enough," Chuck said arrogantly.

Nate frowned for a moment at his response before raising an eyebrow and looking at his best friend in amusement, "No… it isn't possible that she turned you down, is it?"

Chuck glared at Nate, "She did not turn me down. She simply is not as well seated in luxury as I am. She will come around to realize her faux pas."

Nate just smiled and shook his head, "You will never admit that you were turned down by a girl in your life."

"That's because it will never happen, Nathaniel."

Nate turned his head to grin in amusement and as he did so caught a glimpse of deep red and diamonds. He turned his head completely and saw a beautiful girl with small curves and a light curious smile with just a hint of nervousness in her posture, standing in the doorway waiting to be announced. He lightly elbowed Chuck, "Hey, who's that?"

Chuck turned his head to where Nate was looking. He was surprised to see the same woman that turned him down, standing in the doorway of this month's top Gala of the Upper East Side. He smirked in true Chuck Bass fashion, "That, Nathaniel, is the lovely lady that kept me from your presence," seeing a spark of interest in his friend's eyes, he also said, "Don't waste your time, Nathaniel; she's not worth that kind of interest. She is nowhere near as wealthy as we are."

Nate rolled his eyes at Chuck's statement, "Is that why you plan on spending so much time getting her?"

Chuck smirked, "That is simply one night. You, Nathaniel, make a habit of relationships. She's not worth your time," he repeated.

Nate was about to say something when the beautiful brunette was announced, "Please Welcome Elizabeth Van Leih, heiress to the Van Leih Law Firm."

Nate knew he shouldn't be surprised that the heiress of such a renowned law firm was present, what did surprise him however, was that Chuck appeared to not have known who she was immediately.

Nate turned to look at his friend in amusement, even more so when he saw the shocked look in his eyes. It took a lot to get any kind of reaction out of Chuck Bass, especially one of shock…he liked this girl more and more already, "Not as wealthy as we are, or more importantly, not a wealthy as you are, huh? I'm surprised, a girl of her stature…not knowing who the Chuck Bass is?" Nate stressed his words mockingly.

Nate smirked even wider when Chuck sent his a look that clearly told him to 'shut the fuck up'.

If there was one thing that Nate could say that he definitely liked about this girl was that she was throwing his best friend for a tailspin. She was going to cause a few bruises to Chuck's ego and he, for one, couldn't wait to see it.

Chuck stood there silently fuming. The woman that had turned him down was none other than a Van Leih. How on earth could she have had no idea who he was? Chuck refused to believe he was dismissed knowingly by her.

No one turned down a Bass, especially Chuck Bass. Van Leih or not, he would have her. Who she was just made her all that more of an intrigue to him. She was no longer a nameless girl that was trying to fit into the world of the Upper East Side. Now she was a woman worthy of his attention; worthy of his pursuit; worthy of his time.

He let a smirk grow on his face as he watched her move across the room as she was introduced to one person after another. He let his gaze move over her body as he took in the enticing indentation of her waist and the inviting fit of the bodice to her breasts as it gently created swells of cleavage that just begged for him to touch.

Oh, yes. Elizabeth Van Leih would be his.

Looks like the secret's out New Girl. Better watch out, it's not just C's bite that can cause you pain. It seems like N is taken with the New Girl as well. Looks like a new love triangle is blooming between UES's favorite boys, but with Blair out of the picture, who will it be that gets their feelings hurt this time?

And who am I? Now that's a secret I'll Never tell.

You Know You Love Me.

XOXO
