Authors Note: Hey guys! First of all, thatnk you to all who reviews and reads this silly little story of mine! Second of all, sorry for the wait, I don't know what's wrong with my computer but every time I turn it off it deletes all my documents, pictures, everything. So anyway I had three chapters pretty much ready but they got deleted because there was an power outrage where I live. It's really frustrating and made me kind of not want to write anymore.

This is not a very good chapter but I wanted to get this up as soon as possible and I hope that you'll enjoy this.

Please review, right now I really need it.

Blair was exhausted. She had been studying for her exam all week, staying up the entire night to make sure that she got an A. And tonight she had to work. Blair was a good student, an excellent student even but this week studying had been hard. Between needing to learn new routines and thinking about Dan, Blair found herself being unable to concentrate. It was days like this that she did not enjoy her job. Days like these all she wanted to do was to crawl in to bed and watch movie after movie, maybe eating some popcorn. But the bills had to be paid and she had to work.

Blair was waiting for Serena out on the courtyard who was late, as usual. She was tapping her foot impatiently, if it was because of nerves for the test or irritation she wasn't sure.

"Hey beautiful."

Blair turned around fast, startled to see Carter standing behind her.

"Carter! What are you doing here?" She leaned in when he kissed her on the cheek and tried to not think about Dan's lips instead and took his hand in hers.

"I wanted to wish you good luck." When Blair looked at him with a smirk, showing that she knew that he wasn't telling the truth he sighted "And I was on my way to the club and I saw you out here."

"There it is!" She laughed ignoring the students who were now looking at them, some with envy and some in disgust. Carter wasn't allowed on school ground, not after they had been caught making out by the principal.

"No but seriously, I know how hard you've been studying, you'll do great." He squeezed her hand lightly. "But I got to get going, see you tonight?"

She nodded and leaned up to kiss him. His lips felt dry against her own.

Blair watched him leave. Carter was handsome and sweet and they had a great time together. There really was no reason for her to think this much about Dan, and this little about Carter. Blair had never been this affected by anyone before. She had only been on one date with Dan, only met him twice times, she had known Carter for weeks but he hadn't made her feel like Dan had once. Blair was confused, even though she and Dan had texted every day they hadn't even talked about that second date. Which had affected her more than she'd like to admit.

Blair saw Serena walking towards her.

"Was that Carter?"

"Yeah, he came to wish me good luck for the test." They started walking to Serena's locker.

"That was nice." Serena quickly got her books. "Sorry I was late but I talked to my mom."

"Really? How'd that go?" Blair knew that Serena and her mom never had gotten along.

"Okay I guess, nothing new really." Serena sighted as the bell rang. "I gotta run, don't want to be late but I'll see you at the club tonight."

"Yeah."

"Oh and don't worry, you'll ace this test!" She smiled.

Blair watched her for a few moments, her blond hair bouncing of her shoulders, her long legs, every guy in the school was looking at Serena wherever she went. The way the boys were looking made Blair laugh and shake her head before walking to her class.

Test time, she thought.

"Dan, Vanessa's here!" He heard Jenny yell from downstairs, breaking his concentration as he was writing.

"I'll be down in a sec!" He yelled back.

Dan was writing about Blair or Clair as he had named her character. He usually kept his writing at a PG rating but now he was writing about her red lips around his, or Dylan's, dick, her brown eyes looking up at him. The way her ivory skin looked in the moonlight on top of him, how they moved to the kitchen table, him taking her from behind. His hard on was painful. Apparently he'd completely lost track of time as he was writing.

"Dan, can I come in?" Suddenly Vanessa was knocking on his door.

"No!" He replied panicked. He quickly began to think about the most unsexy things he could think of to get rid of his hard on. He thought of his dad, Jenny, Chuck, even his 50-something English teacher Mrs. Robinson. Vanessa was knocking furiously at his door.

"Come on Dan, let me in! We're gonna be late!"

They were going to a party that Penelope was hosting, Dan didn't really want to go, knowing that Penelope, Hazel and all the other girls he's already slept with would try to go home with him. But Chuck was in Australia, visiting his uncle so Vanessa had asked him to go and Dan could never resist her blue eyes and pout, he never had.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Dan called back, trying not to think about how weird that sounded considering the situation he was in.

"What the hell are you doing in there? You sound out of breath."

Dan could see the frown on her face even through the door. He stumbled on his sneakers on the way to the door, cursing as he opened it.

"Happy?"

"Dan, you're not ready yet? We're late enough as it is." Vanessa sighted, taking in his appearance. They were supposed to be there around 10.30, it was 11.15 now.

"Don't worry, just have to change." Dan turned to his bed were his jeans and favorite shirt were already laid out. He started to undress, taking of his shirt and sweat pants.

"Hey what's this?" Vanessa stood over his computer, looking at the screen.

"Nothing!" Dan cursed himself for not turning of the laptop as he turned it away from Vanessa's prying eyes. He saved the file and turned the computer of.

"Oh come on, you always let me read the stuff you write." She whined.

"Not this one." He said as he buttoned his jeans.

"You know, I saw the name Claire, pretty close to Blair, isn't it?" Vanessa teased him, a small smirk on her face. The smirk quickly disappeared when she saw his face though. "Oh my God, were you actually writing about Blair? That stripper?" Vanessa looked at his in distain and shock.

"She's not a stripper." Dan replied curtly, a mad expression on his face.

They looked at each other for what felt like minutes for Dan, it only was a few seconds though and during those few seconds Vanessa could read him like a book.

"You really like her don't you?"

"Yeah." He sighted.

"Grab your jacket, we're going to Victor, Victrola." Vanessa walked to the door.

"Wait? What?" Despite his arguing he followed Vanessa down the stairs. "I promised her I wouldn't come to the club anymore."

"Yeah well, change of plans." She was pretty much dragging him behind her.

"You are not in charge of me."

"Aww sweetie, you should know by now that I'm always in charge." She pressed the elevator door and waved to Jenny who was sitting with her group of friends in the living room "At least when it's just you and me."

"Yeah, I know." Dan half sighted, half groaned.

The music was loud, too loud. The lights too bright. It didn't matter how long she had worked there, her eyes always reacted to the lights and she had to force herself not to squint. Blair was standing on stage dancing one of their regular dances; it was too early for anything special. She had Serena on her left side and another dancer named Emma on her right.

She didn't even have to think about the movements she was making anymore, it was all muscle memory. After her eyes adjusted to the light, which usually took one or two songs, she could see Carter standing at the bar watching her. He had a small smile on his face and his blue eyes were slightly narrowed. Blair had seen that look before; it was the 'I'm going home with you tonight' look and for the first time ever Blair didn't feel excited about that.

So instead she danced, put a small seductive smile on her face and concentrated on the audience. One dance turned in to two, two dances turned in to three and before she knew it she was on her way to the dressing rooms for her break.

"Blair, are you alright?" Serena was changing out of her stage outfit and in to the clothes she wore on the floor. Blair did the same.

"What?" She looked at the blonde, slightly startled by her presence. "Yeah I'm fine, just really tired. Why?"

"You just seem kind of out of it." Serena was putting on her black heels.

"Just tired." Blair smiled "Could you help me button this up? The top hoops are difficult." She turned to Serena and gathered her hair in her hands as Serna started to work on the corset.

"Blair, what the hell happened to this? You need to mend it." Serena let out a frustrated sound, the small hoops looked ready to fall off, forcing her to be overly careful.

"Carter and I got a bit carried away…" Blair trailed off remembering that night, it was the night before she met Dan.

"Blair Waldorf… I always knew you were wild and kinky!" Serena teased her, like she didn't know exactly what Blair enjoyed doing in bed.

"Whatever, you wanna get a drink before working the floor?" Blair headed to the door with Serena close behind her.

They quickly got to the bar, Blair took a seat next to one of Carter's friends, David, who also was a regular at the club. Serena took one look at him and Carter grabbed the drink that Carter already had prepared for her and walked off.

"That was rude." Carter stated.

"Yeah well, she had to work." Blair answered easily, knowing exactly why Serena left. David was a creep, always drunk, always making passes at the girls who worked and always crossed the line.

"We'll manage without her." She smiled and took her tequila shot, enjoying the burning feeling in her throat. "I'll talk to you later, I need to work too." She shot David a glare before quickly leaving to walk around the club.

"Tell me again why I agreed to this?" Dan was leaning back in the car, rubbing his temples as the city passed by.

"Because I told you to." Vanessa was looking out the window. "You know, sometimes I really hate New York, all this traffic is making it take forever."

"Like you're not used to it?" Dan chuckled "Besides we're almost there."

They sat in silence for a few moments before Vanessa turned to him.

"So you really like her?"

"Yes." He looked out the window.

"After just one date?"

"Yes." He turned to her "She's different."

Vanessa chuckled lightly.

"Of course she's different, she's a stripper and grew up in Brooklyn. You're from the Upper East Side. That says it all."

Dan new she was right. They were from completely different worlds but that didn't stop his feelings. Even though they'd only met twice he could feel himself falling for her. Every time he got a text from her he smiled, he had never had this much inspiration when he wrote, he didn't care that they were different. That was what he liked.

The car stopped and Dan could see Victor, Victrola flash in the darkness.

"We're here."

Blair was tired, it was getting late and it was a slow night. She decided that tonight, just tonight, she would take one more drink with Carter and David before the club closed in a couple of hours.

She was drinking a drink that Carter had made for her, she wasn't sure what was in it but it tasted delicious and it was strong.

"So," David had put his hand high on her thigh "what do you say you me and your boy take this party somewhere more privet?"

"Yeah, you would like that, wouldn't you?" She angrily showed his hand of her and looked at Carter, telling him to get David away from her.

"Hey man, back of." Carter warned and grabbed her hand over the counter.

"Whatever man, I'll see you tomorrow." David threw some cash on the counter before stumbling of.

"I hate him Carter. I really hate him." She got up from her chair.

"I know. Where are you going?" Carter stepped out from behind the counter, after making sure that no one wanted anything to drink.

"It's only 1.30, we close at 3. I need to work. I have to get up on stage." She avoided his eyes, tried to get away from her.

"Fine, at least give me a kiss before you go?" He looked down at her, pouting slightly making her smile.

She leaned up and kissed him softly, the kiss deepened when she felt his hands around her waist and in her hair. He was claiming her, it felt like.

When they broke apart he smiled at her, his blue eyes bright.

"See you later." Blair said and turned to walk to the dressing rooms. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a red and black plaid shirt.

Dan was standing only a few feet away, watching her, saw her kiss Carter, that Vanessa girl beside him. She looked disgusted and Dan looked shocked before quickly turning to walk away from her.

"Dan! Dan wait!"
