On the jet, Blair couldn't help but notice that Todd had taken his jacket off and had unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt. What he thought he was doing, she didn't know but she did know it wouldn't work. What he had to sell she wasn't buying. He was smooth but she was resistant. True, he looked good, very good, but she could hold out. Two could play the game he was playing and she was there to show him that he wasn't about to win her heart again. He had held it in his hands and had tossed it away carelessly like yesterday's paper-easy enough for him to do. So she was not about to let him win, not this time.
So every time she glanced over at him she noticed he was looking at her. At first she just rolled her eyes and then she finally screamed out in frustration.
"What? What do you want from me?"
"Nothing. Can I help that you're looking at me?"
"No I'm not. You're looking at me and I want you to stop. Now!"
"Okay. But it's going to be a long flight if we can't even talk to each other."
"I don't care. I'd rather stare out the window then talk to you."
"That's kind of harsh," Todd protested. "What have I done to you?"
Blair stared at him. "What have you done to me? Are you kidding me?"
"Okay so what have I done to you lately?"
"Oh let's see you only stole my baby and gave him away…"
"I told you I was sorry."
"And that's supposed to make up for it? Todd you are a liar, a cheat and a thief. And you want me to come running back to you like it's all going to be okay. Maybe the old Blair would have but I'm not that woman anymore. I'm a mother now and I have to put my kids first. I have to think about what they need. And they need me to be strong. And I can't keep running to you just because you look good and I might be a little lonely."
Todd smiled. "So you have been thinking about me."
"That's not what I said."
"That's what it sounded like to me."
"Why do you do this to me? You are the most annoying, most frustrating man I have ever met. You drive me crazy."
"Blair, you might as well admit that you want me. It's written all over your face. And you're never going to meet another man like me. You want me, I want you. You might as well give it up," Todd said confidently.
Blair rolled her eyes. "I don't want you. I don't even like you. I…what's that?"
"What's what?"
"Didn't you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"The jet..it's shaking."
"Probably just a little bit of turbulence."
"I don't know Todd. I don't like it. I don't think it should be doing this."
"Want me to come over there?"
Blair stared at him, and thought about it for a minute. She knew she would hate herself for it, but she also hated how she was feeling. She didn't trust the jet, and if she were to die, she wanted at least be comforted, even if it were by the man she couldn't stand. So she nodded, and Todd didn't have to be told twice. He walked over and sad down and put his arm around her, and she leaned in against him. She looked up and her eyes met his, and pretty soon they weren't the only thing meeting. Before she knew it she found herself with her lips pressed against his and she wasn't hating it. It really was going to be a bumpy ride.
