When the girls finished watching the movie they went to Blair's room to get her dressed, Blair took from her closet a cream silk top , long straight gray pants, a gray blazer, jazzberry Jimmy Choo heels and a Michael Kors bag matching with the shoes, she put all together and looked flawless.
"Do you have business to take care?" Serena asked pointing to her clothes.
"I know, I'm a bit formal but I have a lot to do, my Mum's birthday is tomorrow and I said to her that I would organize a tasteful dinner just with the family and friends!"
"If is just a dinner why so much work?"
"Because I want the dinner to be in the new glamorous Upper East Side restaurant but getting a reservation is being more difficult than I though, it is crowded for weeks and I just called yesterday!"
"Of course when they found out that you're the former princess of Monaco they will give you a royal table!" smiled Serena.
"You're right, I will go there,do you want to come ? Having New York's it girl with me can give some extra points!" they laugh as descending the stairs.
They arrived at the restaurant and Blair demanded to talk with the restaurant manager, she explained who she was and who Serena was, the restaurant was a success but publicity is something that you never deny, having Serena and Blair as regular customers would guarantee reservations till the end of the year.
"The dinner could be in our special wing just for top regular VIP clients" said the manager with a big smile in his face showing the place , Blair hide her enthusiasm to look professional.
"It's perfect! Can I see the menu to choose everything for tomorrow"
"Of course, I'll be just right back!" said the man living the girls, they watched the beautiful decoration, the walls were in a red marble, in the roof was crystal chandeliers and on the table was a small square red vase with champagne-colored roses.
"Blair do you have any idea how to start your plan?", Blair looked at her.
"No, but I will start in this dinner, the scenario is perfect and I just have to found a way of being discreet!"
"I hope so Blair, your mother wouldn't like to see you seduce Chuck Bass in front of all Cyrus family despite it would be incredibly funny!" joked Serena.
The man appeared with two menus, he gave one to each girl "Here is our special cart!", they read every plate very carefully until they found the perfect menu to be served, Blair and Serena looked at each other smiling just like when the were thinking exactly the same thing.
"I would like to be served the aphrodisiac menu!" said Blair with satisfaction, the man looked a little worried.
"Are you sure Miss Waldorf?"
"Yes, thank you very much,until tomorrow night!"
In the next night Blair was putting a lot of effort in her appearance, her hair was in a french twist style and her make up was smoky eyes and nude lip, the dress was an amazing halter long dress by Donna Karan, it was red made of silk and velvet and the neckline was a very generous V cleavage, the shoes were a pair of golden Manolos and to finish she put a golden bracelet from Tiffany&Co. Dorota appeared to announce that everyone was waiting for her.
In the foyer was Eleanor, Cyrus and Serena all waiting for Blair to come out of her room, Serena was wearing a burgundy Gucci gown featuring a geometric neckline and a thigh-high slit; Eleanor was wearing an elegant and classic black off-the-shoulder gown and Cyrus was wearing a normal suit with a brown tie. Blair appeared full of hurry.
"Omg B, your look like a goddess!", Serena made Blair spin to see all the angles.
"I know, now let's move!" said Blair pointing to the elevator.
"Until now you weren't in a hurry!" complain Eleanor.
"I needed to be perfect, beautiful is not enough!" smiled Blair to Cyrus and blinking at Serena.
They arrived to the restaurant where was Lily, Rufus, Dan, some members of Cyrus family, Nate and finally Chuck, he was devilish handsome as ever, how Blair was anxious to have him back, she came to his side "Hello Chuck" said Blair raising her hand to Chuck kiss.
"Hi Blair, you look lovely!" he said ignoring her hand, Chuck didn't want any contact with her body, she sigh and smiled at him without giving up.
"Thank you! What do you like more? The dress? The shoes? The gloss?" she said passing her fingers in the lips,Chuck breathed slowly trying to not look at Blair, he turned away and came to Eleanor's side giving her happy birthday "Run while you can Bass!" she said to herself.
"I think is better to go to the table!" suggested Cyrus, the places were marked, when Chuck found his name right next to Blair seat he started to shake a little, he looked for Serena.
"Serena don't you wanna switch places with me to be next to Blair?" he asked a bit desperate.
"No, I prefer to be here next to Dan and in either place I'm on Blair's side!"
Chuck snorted, then he tried to switch with Nate "Nate don't you wanna sit here, is right next to Blair!".
"No thanks man but I have some thinks to talk with Dan!"
Meanwhile Blair was talking to the manager of the restaurant "I'm sorry but can you heat the VIP wing, I'm a bit chilly!"
"Of course Miss!"
"Thank you very much!", she returned to her place and sat right next to Chuck, they were very close and was impossible to not smell her perfume, it was so intense and was making his head dizzy and seduced by it.
"Blair, you always found a new fragrance, which is?" asked Chuck annoyed by how the perfume was making him feel, Blair made a glimpse at him and pretended that she was not very interested in what he was asking.
"Oh, this is Midnight Poison by Dior, is made of citrus notes of mandarin, rose heart, patchouli, amber and French vanilla in the base!"
"You did some research!" he insinuated.
"No, I just liked the scent and when I looked at the box the ingredients were written! Do you liked it?"
"Not really!" he snapped, Blair made a fake confuse look.
"Really? So why are you so close?" she teased him, he moved a bit away.
"I'm not!"
The food started arriving, the entrances were oysters and caviar and everyone made a pleased look less Chuck "Why the long face, you love this food,you always serve this when you have guests in your penthouse!" whispered Nate.
"Exactly!" answered Chuck coldly, he didn't want to eat any of it but he was hungry, with his work meetings all day he barely ate something.
Blair leaned over the table to reach more caviar showing a little of the inside of her cleavage to Chuck, he tried to not look but he couldn't deny his truth nature after all he was Chuck Bass.
When they finished eating, the servants brought the main course, lobster with truffles, one of Chuck's favorite meals, his mouth started watering, he couldn't resist, while he was eating he began to feel hot, he took his jacket and drank more cold champagne what made him feel hotter "There's something wrong?" asked Blair innocently.
"No, nothing at all!" he answered smiling with frustration on his voice. In the rest of the meal Blair was talking to Cyrus and his family, he would say something funny and Blair would laugh falling into Chuck's side purposely.
At last the desert arrived, was chocolate fondant, Blair dropped some chocolate in her hand, to clean it she linked slowly her fingers looking deep into Chuck's eyes, a pit of desire burned inside of him I can control it he though, then she put her hand under the table on his leg and rubbed it "Blair!" he said with a threatening tone.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't notice!" she apologized with a low voice.
"You are the devil!"
"I learned from the best!" Blair blinked and slid her hand up on the leg until she reached a crucial spot. Chuck suddenly rose from the table
"Eleanor, an headache just hit, I'm sorry is better for me to come home!"
"Of course, thank you for coming Charles!"
Chuck disappeared in hurry, "I will follow him!" said Blair, Serena took her hand and pulled her.
"Blair in another day I would support you to follow him but is your mother birthday, stay! She misses you!", Blair sighed.
"Fine S, I made my my point already, he know that I'm not playing nice!" smiled Blair victorious.
