Chapter 10

The evening was just about over as the last song of the night just ended. Blair was still hanging over by Tim, while Chuck was over by the bar drinking while he was watching Blair and Tim talk. Cara was trying to get Chuck's attention but he wasn't paying attention towards her. He watched as Tim walked away towards the bathroom as he thought this would give him a chance to talk to her. He looked over at Cara.

"would you excuse me for a moment" he said to her. He walked over towards Blair with his drink still in his hand.

"What do you want Bass. Aren't you finished messing around with me tonight" she said to him.

"I forgot to mention how lovely you look and I just wanted to say I'm sorry to blowing you off for this" he said to her. Blair looked at him and saw that he was actually serious for once. She looked at him and actually smiled faintly.

"I appreciate it" she started to say as he started walking away and then she stopped him. "why did you blow me off. Did you not get that I actually wanted to come with you to this" she told him with a stern look. "Why do you have to keep blowing me off when it comes to spending time with me" she asked.

Blair went thinking to the time that Chuck stood her up when she went off to Tuscany alone and when she even asked him to tell her that he loves her and couldn't even do that either. Blair finally accepted the fact that she loved him and wanted to take tonight as a step in the right direction but he always seems to be holding back whenever it comes to her.

"I have to get back to my date" he said to her. He just couldn't answer her question. He loved her but he was just to afraid to commit, especially when it came to Blair. He wanted her, he wanted to be with her, he has wanted her ever since he saw her dancing at Victrola and since they had sex in his limo.

Chuck has actually wanted to sleep with Blair again since that night and even thought about trying to. He had problems sleeping with women lately and knew that he needed to sleep with Blair again to just get it out, but he wanted more than just one night with her but just couldn't say those 3 words that she just wants to hear. He then walked back to Cara.

"Let's go Carla" he started to say.

"It's Cara" she corrected him as he helped put her jacket on and just watched as Blair went back over to Tim as they started leaving together.

"Sorry" he said as she just picked up her purse and went to meet him outside. He followed her and then looked over at Nate who was just giving them a look, he then walked over towards him.

"I really don't get you Chuck. You tell me you wanted to come here with Blair and you instead come with someone else" he finished the rest of his drink and placed the glass back on the table. "But obviously you don't really care about her feelings" he shook his head and just walked towards the door.

He obviously didn't know what to think. He put on his jacket and walked outside to his limo where Cara wasn't even by the limo anymore. He looked around as she was nowhere to be found as he just shrugged his shoulders and got into his limo as it just drove back to the Palace.

Tim brought Blair home stopping in front of her house. She was sitting in his limo and looked over at him as she kissed him good night. He kissed her back and grabbed her arm before she got out of the car.

"Listen I really had fun with you tonight, despite your friend being there and him getting jealous and all" he said as she placed her hair behind her ear.

"Don't mind Chuck, he's just..well you know" was all she could say about him. But she actually had a lot of fun with him as well and tried to get everything out of her mind tonight. She smiled at him and got out of the limo and closed the door. She was walking up the steps as Tim opened the window.

"Will you go out with me again" he asked her as she turned towards him and shook her head yes. She watched him as the limo started to pull away from the building. She took out her phone and texted Serena.

"Man I had a great night with Tim, I think we will be going out again" she wrote and then pressed send. As soon as she got inside she received a response and saw that it was from Serena. "Can you come over tonight, I want to talk to you in person"

She read the text and responded and said "ok". She went up to her penthouse to get changed into something other than the dress she was wearing so she could go back and meet Serena back at her place. As soon as she was ready she texted her saying "on my way but didn't get answer as she just went there anyway.

Chuck saw Serena's phone vibrate as he picked up the phone and saw that she said "ok" back as he smiled to himself. He deleted the texts before Serena saw him with her phone and the text. He put it on the table as she walked over towards him.

"what are you doing" she asked suspiciously

"Just hanging over here. Why don't you just go up to bed, you look a bit tired" he said

"I was just headed there just getting my phone" she said as she looked at him. He looked no stranger than he usually did and just ignored it as she walked up to her room.

Chuck was alone in the living room as he waited for Blair to come over. Everyone else has gone up to bed while he just waited on the couch for her. But first he got up to get a drink for himself. He wondered what he was going to do with her, but he did know that he wanted to sleep with her but how was he going to do that without her finding out that it's him that she is the one kissing. Or the fact that she thinks she is coming over to meet Serena, but what she doesn't know is that it was Chuck who sent her the text message from her phone. He sat there as he thought about it while waiting for her to show up.
