Chuck looked at Jenny for a second, then he got up and walked back to his seat with no explanation. He felt so weird when he was around her. Like he was a better person. Chuck didn't want to be a better person! He just wanted to be Chuck Bass. Care free, rich bastard, woman crazed Chuck Bass! Well even though he was with Blair now... He still wanted to keep his vibe of being bad. And Jenny took that away from him when he was around her.
Jenny felt some what hurt when Chuck left. Did she do something wrong? Didn't she just apologize, or forgiven him? Or what ever the heck you'd qualify Jenny telling Chuck not to be sorry. She just wanted some type of friendship or at least being able to talk to one another with out any awkward tension.
For the rest of the flight Chuck ignored Jenny as much as he could. Where as Jenny kept on peering over, trying to catch his eye. Neither actually wanted to talk to each other, but still wanted to know the other knew they were there. Can you say love, hate relationship?
When the airplane finally landed Eric and Jonathan woke up, not knowing anything about Chuck and Jenny's new found tension. Not that it would make a difference. If anything it would make it worse. Eric would just try to make it go away, and every one be friends once again. That was Eric though, thinking of others before himself.
Jonathan stretched his arms and yawned, "That was a fast flight!" He smiled at Eric, "Then again... I fell asleep!" He was happy to be here with Eric.
"Yeah so did I... What happened while we were out?" Eric said, directly to Jenny. Thinking of how awkward it must have been with just being around Chuck.
When Eric said that Chuck's head went down. He knew exactly why Eric was asking. The past will always haunt you. Even when you take it all back, when you apologize until you can't even talk any more. It's still there, and it's still ready to get you at any unsuspecting moment. Chuck was going to have to live with that for the rest of his life.
Jenny looked at Chuck with his head down, "It was great actually. Chuck and I talked a little bit. It was uh," She stopped to try and find a believable word, "Nice?"
Eric wanted to ask why she said it more like a question then a statement, but drama wasn't needed! They just landed in Maui. He was not going to let what ever the heck happened while he was asleep ruin Jonathan and his vacation, though it would probably come back to haunt him later on. What ever, the beginning was going to be nice. Weather Jenny and Chuck liked or not!
The pilot came out, "I hope the flight was satisfying for all of you," He looked at Chuck, "Than you Mr. Bass for the generous tip at the beginning of the flight," He tipped his hat and walked back into the cockpit.
"You tipped the pilot?!" Jenny said in amazement, "I know I'm not a usual with the whole billionaire, private jet stuff but that seems a little odd." She had a point. Tipping a pilot? Weird. Before they even took off? Weirder!
Chuck just looked at Jenny, his eyes were looking at her, but him himself was looking away, "He wasn't going to let me on, so I gave him a tip..."
"Wait! I'm confused," Eric was caught off guard, "First of all you bribed him! And second of all it was so you could get on your own plane?! That doesn't add up Chuck."
Every one was a tad confused, "I had to bribe him because Lily told him to not let me get on this plane with out her okay... And since no one told me about our little get away until I heard it from Blair, there was no time to reach Lily. So I just gave him a couple hundred," He looked at everyone, "Hey! I'm planning on calling her as soon as we get out of this plane!"
"Then let's get out..." Jenny said as she rushed to the exit. It was getting to weird being around Chuck. He didn't make sense! She didn't want to understand him. If she understood him then that would make it easier for him to understand her. And Jenny didn't want Chuck to understand her broken self.
In silence they went to the hotel. Jenny was planning on staying with Eric and Jonathan, until some very bad news came! The hotel screwed up on the reservations and so the room they were suppose to share is now a one bedroom. The ground wasn't really an option. Chuck though was oh so nice to offer to share his room!
"No way!" Jenny yelled at Chuck for even mentioning the idea.
Chuck grinned, he was trying to keep his bad boy attitude, "Come on, promise I won't do anything bad." He said it like he was lying. Witch he wasn't, but he wanted Jenny to believe he would.
"You know what Chuck?! I am so sick of you and your disgusting thoughts!" Jenny said furiously turning around, "You know? For a second when we were on the plane I thought, 'Hey! Maybe Chuck and I can be friends and stop all this hate!'. I was an idiot for thinking I could even be in the same room with you!"
That set something off in Chuck, "I said I was sorry a hundred times! Not right to you but every night I would feel so bad for what I did! And not matter what I do or say you still don't give me a chance!" Chuck said stepping closer to Jenny, "I am trying here, and I just don't understand how come you keep on pushing me away..."
Jenny stopped. Was she the one making this harder? It was... She let him apologize, but she never made amens. He said he was sorry on the plane for making her upset, and once again she didn't do anything to make Chuck feel better about it. She was the block stopping them from becoming friends... Or anything close to it.
"I'm sorry Chuck..." Jenny said quietly, looking straight into his eyes. He did his part and now it was Jenny's time to do hers. Peace needed to be made.
This made Chuck get a weird look on his face, "Apology accepted... Jenny..." He was thrown off that she apologized, but if he didn't accept, he never would be able to take a step closer.
Jenny's breathe was literally token away. Was it because Chuck was so close? Was it because peace had been made? Was it because it was Chuck Bass himself?!
"You weren't suppose to accept." Jenny cracked a smile. She was serious when she said she was sorry, but thought any right minded person would say she shouldn't be. Then again, she was talking to Chuck Bass.
Chuck smiled, "I hate you Jenny... I have to let you know that..." He said it like it was a compliment, not an insult. Witch it wasn't, right?
"What?!" This took Jenny back a few, yet she got a little closer to Chuck.
"You make me want to different, and better. Lets be real though, I'm Chuck Bass. I'm not suppose to want to be good," He peered into Jenny's eyes. Trying to ready her soul, and how she could stay so pure in such a corrupted world.
Jenny on the other hand was looking into Chuck's eyes, marveled she actually found a soul. This made new tension go around them. Not like the awkward, I-Don't-Know-What-To-Say tension, that was on the plane. More like I-Have-To-Get-Away-From-You-Before-I-Do-The-Wrong-Thing tension. They knew it was wrong they were this close, only inches away.
Chuck brushed Jenny's hair out of her face, but kept his hand on her check. He was ready to pull away, but Jenny didn't. So he didn't. They stared into each others eyes, until Jenny was brave enough to lean in. Chuck was right about to do the same thing until...
"Jenny?! Is that you?!" That voice was none other then Nate Archibald's!
Chuck immediately pulled away his hand, and Jenny twirled around to see Nate standing right there. Why wasn't he on his back packing trip with Vanessa?! Why did he just ruin the moment Jenny never thought would happen, but was now going to die if it didn't.
