Sometimes I wondered how Blair Waldorf could be so brilliant, yet so stupid at the same time and today was one of those days i was left questioning her mental stability. Why on earth would she let Carter in to her home when she knew what he was? It was almost as if the queen of Constance was purposely looking for trouble. Was this her way of trying to make me jealous? If that was her main goal then she could accomplish it by using Nate. What could have possessed her to think using Carter Baizen in her game against me would be a smart move? If he found out she was playing him then he would kill her without regret or compassion and he would be sure to make sure it was as painful a death as possible.

It ended up so that I followed Blair and Carter back to her penthouse. I'm pretty sure Baizen sensed me following them, but Blair most likely didn't have a clue. Deep down I knew that stalking them was probably a bad idea because it would only give Carter more of a reason to get closer to Blair. If he thought for one second he could use her against me then he would. It was a game we had played for years. We acted like we were friends when in reality we could hardly stand the other. Of course we could have fought to the death and yet i felt that would be way too simple. Torturing each other mentally was much more interesting and it passed the time. When you are going to live forever you need a hobby or two in order to keep from going insane; Georgina was proof enough of that.

Scaling up the side of the building until I was on the ledge of the window in Blair's room had been almost too easy. I was not worried about anyone seeing me because it was cloudy today and even if they did happen to look up they wouldn't be able to make out my form. Once I had settled next to the window sill I focused on hearing the conversation inside even though I was unable to see what was going on. I didn't want to take the change of Waldorf catching me peeping in on her private conversation. A lecture from Blair was the last thing i need when all I was trying to do was keep her safe from Baizen.

"So we never did decide what I was going to get in return for helping you beat Georgina so you can keep your crown." I recognized Carter's slow drawl and I could hear the soft ruffling of fabric as he stretched out on her bed, the bed where I should be, not him.

There was a sigh and then Blair spoke, her tone was full of agitation and I could understand that since Carter could agitate even the most patient person with a few simple words. "You get the satisfaction of knowing I won't be coming after you."

Carter laughed as if she had just told the most hilarious joke he'd ever heard. "You're joking right? I am willing to help you take down one of the craziest bitches I have ever known and you think I should do just because you threatened me? Come on princess, you have got to be able to do better than that."

The queen let out a huff and I knew she was anything, but happy. Hopefully she would tell Carter where he could shove it and then I would offer her my help. Of course I had an ulterior motive, but what Blair Waldorf did not know wouldn't hurt her. "What is it that you want? You may think me to be stupid, yet I can assure you I am anything but stupid. You have a reason for offering me help and you may as well spit it out because I have better things I could be doing. I do not have time to deal with your fake sincerity. Shoot me all the smiles you want, but talk while you do it because the sooner we get this conversation over and done with, the sooner you can leave and I do not want you here any longer than absolutely necessary."

I had to give her credit for calling Carter on his game. Not many people would be able to see past his lies and charms, yet she did. I smirked knowing that it must drive the other vampire crazy knowing that a human had called his bluff. I always did love watching Carter get downed a peg or two and it was even more humorous since he had been owned by a mere mortal. This day was getting better and better by the second, I loved watching Blair embrace her inner bitch, it was a real turn on.

"What if what I want is you?" A growl bubbled up in my chest at his remark.

It was Blair's response that caused me to calm down almost immediately. Apparently the idea of being with the other vampire male pissed her off as much as it did me. "Then I would have to tell you to keep dreaming. It is obvious you have nothing to offer me and so I suggest you leave and if you know what's good for you then you won't come to me again unless you have something real to offer me. I will not stand for you wasting my time."

I waited a few moments when I heard Carter leave before deciding it was safe to speak with Blair. Since her window was opened slightly it was easy to open it the rest of the way before sliding inside her room. I did it so fast I doubt she even realized it until I spoke. "Well look what we have here; tsk tsk Blair, don't you know it is unladylike to invite strange men in to your bedroom? What would your mother think?"

TBC...
