Chuck and Blair going to the prom together

" I said no."

Blair stared at her boyfriend in shock. It was like he said Chanel's next line is going to cater to people who can't afford it.

"What?! How do you not want to go?" she asked him, still in shock.

"Simple. I just don't go." Chuck said curtly as he continued looking over some contracts that was sent to him that morning to check. Something about another hotel in UAE.

"It's prom, why would any sane person want to miss prom? Even the geeks who don't have anyone to ask to don't miss prom! Haven't you watched Never been kissed?!" Blair pressed on.

Chuck shook his head. Well, screw that, Blair thought, she was making him watch it!

"Well, Bass, it doesn't matter because you're coming with me."

"No." he said without looking up.

She did not just hear her boyfriend refuse her order-… invitation to prom. She did not just get shot down by her own boyfriend. She just did not.

"Excuse me?" she asked calmly, but inside she was fuming insanely. What was going on with him today?!

"Chuck Bass… I don't know what your problem is today but I am not in the least bit amused with your tricks today." She said dangerously. This time Chuck looked up, papers still in his hands and he himself looked far from amused.

"…. Neither am I." he told her, not even bothered to console her.

Blair was taken aback yet again. It was clearly a very bad day to talk to Chuck. But she is his girlfriend and she had every right to talk to him any day anytime! She tried to hide the pain he caused her by being so… so cold by doing what she does best.

"Fine then." She said calmly. "I don't care if you don't want to go. You can sit here and play with yourself… and… and your papers, while I will go with someone who is prom-worthy and who will care enough about me to take me to prom like Nat--" she quickly cut herself off before she finished that sentence. But Chuck didn't miss a beat.

"Why not? I'm sure Nathaniel would be glad to take you." He told her without an ounce of regret in his voice. Blair felt her heart squeeze up, she knew how easily he could hurt her. What she didn't understand is that he knew that too yet he still hurt her. She took her bag and walked hard enough so he could actually hear the click of her heels against his floors.

And before she opened the door, she turned around and took one last look at him, as she predicted, he was staring at her… but not exactly at her.

"And trust me, once I walk out this door, you better make your right hand your best friend for a long time." With that she left mildly slamming the door to his office.

Chuck sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Shit."

"Maybe… maybe he has some whore secretary… its that new secretary! I'm sure of it." Blair continued deducting her reasons on Chuck's horrible behavior to Serena the next day in school. She couldn't understand Chuck's behavior and spent the entire night figuring it out until she realized she wasted all night thinking about his royal bastardness and started cursing him instead.

"Blair… maybe he just doesn't like going to prom?" Serena said tiredly, she just wanted Blair to get over it.

Blair glared at Serena, "Have you been listening to me?"

Her best friend sighed, "Yeah… I have actually for the last one hour."

"This is Chuck Bass. He loves parties, he lives for parties. For goodness sake! He crashes parties." She said reminding Serena of the time he crashed her 17th birthday part. Which she was actually grateful for. She smiled slightly remembering it. Then she shook her head, remembering how he pissed her off yesterday.

You're supposed to be mad at him Waldorf, not reminisce!

"Well then maybe he has a lot of work?" Serena was so disinterested in Chuck and Blair's life right now. She herself was wondering who her prom date is, she didn't know who she wanted to ask her. Lately she's been hanging out a lot of with Nate and with Dan.

Blair shook her head, her brain working overtime. "No… He used the 'work' card too much. It has to be something else. This time around I didn't do anything that would upset him. Unless…."

"Regardless," Serena cut off Blair's crazy thought.

"I'm sure you'll get a date for prom in no time." She patted her friend's back who just pouted.

"That's not the point, S," she said. "I want to go with my boyfriend."

"Yes, and he is throwing a hissy fit about it. Its just prom Blair." Serena said, standing up and grabbing her books when she heard the school bell.

Blair whipped her head to stare at Serena now, "What is wrong with you and Chuck? It's just prom? Clearly all those years watching Molly Ringwalds atrocious series of teenage prom did not compute." she shook her head.

Serena laughed and put her arm around her best friend.

"Trust me, you will go with someone and maybe Chuck will come around and his male hissy fit will be over soon. And if not we can go together." She suggested. And while Blair didn't like the idea of going with Serena and showed it with a disgusted face, she thought it was a good idea.

"Hey." Nate came out of nowhere and greeted the two girls.

Blair narrowed her eyes at him, since they broke up and she started going out with Chuck, Blair has been slightly civil with Nate but not all the way, she was still wary of his existence.

"Hey Blair can I speak to you for a moment?" he asked.

She frowned at him, "Why?" then looked at Serena who shrugged. He gestured her aside from Serena, whom he flashed an apologetic smile to.

"What is it Nate? I'm sure we have nothing much to say to each other." She said when they walked a few feet away from Serena.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go to prom with me?" he asked suddenly, taking her of guard.

"Wha… What?"

"Prom is coming up and we've planned prom since we were little kids. I just thought it was the right thing to ask you." He explained, then quickly added, " I mean as friends. It's just that it's something we planned since before and it wouldn't hurt to go to our senior prom together." He suggested.

Blair blinked, trying to absorb this. She and Nate weren't on good terms at all. Civil, probably but not to a point where he could ask her if she wanted to go to prom with him.

Plus, she was already with someone else, someone else she was waiting for to ask her. And speka of the devil she saw his silhouette from the corner of her eye. She turned her head slightly to see him smoking and he wasn't looking at her, but he knew very well he knew she was there talking to Nate.

She looked at Nate, "That's nice of you to remember some things back when we dated but I'm actually waiting for Chuck to ask me."

He frowned, confused, "I thought Chuck isn't going? You didn't know?"

She tried not to look surprised, but she couldn't believe Chuck told Nate he wasn't going!

"Of… of course I know!" she said playing it off cool.

That asshole! He was hell bent on not going was he? And he was totally fine that his bestfriend and her ex boyfriend is asking her? She flashed a look at him, and this time he was caught looking at them. She smirked.

"Yes." She said suddenly.

Nate still wore a confused look on his face, "Huh?"

"I'll go with you." She told Nate. "For old times sake." She said with the biggest fake smile she could muster.

If Chuck wanted to play bitch, so could she.

XXX

She hasn't spoken to him in three days now, and she was already moping around her house. That asshole, she thought miserably. She was reduced to this. She knew it would cause problems when she said Yes to Nate.

Chuck literally ignored her after that.

He didn't even call, and she didn't want to call him either. Nothing was her fault. He didn't want to go to prom with her and he said she could go with anyone she wanted. So nothing was her fault… right?

But luckily for her, everything for prom went surprisingly well. Nate was going all out on this prom. Just yesterday Dorota came in with a big package, it was addressed to her but didn't say whom it was from. But inside it was a dress, her dress. Her prom dress she drew with Nate when they were kids.

"Oh my god Dorota! It's the dress! My prom dress." She said hugging it and twirling. "Nate really is a sweetheart." She said.

Dorota frowned, "Mr. Nate? I thought Mr. Chuck--, "

"Don't say his name Dorota." Blair came down her happy and snapped at Dorota. "He can drown in his work for all I care."

"Uh No no.. Miss Blair I am sure -, " she tried to explain but Blair put her hand up and shook her head.

"Whatever has to do with Mr. Basshole who never fails to puts me in misery every other time can CAN IT!!" she said angrily and it shocked Dorota who took a step back.

Blair composed herself and looked at Dorota giving her a smile, "Sorry about that Dorota, but like I said lets not talk about Mr. Chuck." She said taking her dress and walking into her bathroom to change.

Dorota facepalmed. "Ayayayaiiii." She sighed and flipped out her phone, "Hello vanya… movies is cancelled tonight….. Mr. Chuck make Miss Blair very angry again…."

"Chuck listen, if you don't want me to go with Blair just say it." Nate told Chuck, when they decided to go play basketball one random Saturday morning, a few days before the prom.

Chuck shrugged, " I don't care Nate. It's a harmless prom date, nothing else." Chuck said grabbing the ball from Nate, dribbling it and throwing it into a hoop. " I know that do you?"

"What do you think I am?" Nate asked him.

"I don't mean anything by that Nate." Chuck said, "I told you to go ask her."

He frowned, "Because you said you weren't going and you didn't want her to go alone."

"You and I both know Blair is gung-ho about stupid things like this." Chuck said throwing the ball into the basket and scoring.

"I was over at your room today and you're clearly going." Nate said. While waiting for Chuck to get ready Nate saw a suit on Chuck's bed.

"Okay so I'm going, but just for a while. You won't even notice I'm there." He said easily. However regardless of how blonde Nate is sometimes there was just some things he couldn't miss. Like how much his best friend likes his ex girlfriend.

"Okay, so can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it Nathaniel?"

"Stop messing with my prom plans."

The day of Prom arrived; Blair should've been more excited than this. She should. Especially when Nate arrived to pick her up in a carriage. The one that looked exactly like in her prom book. And Nate stood at the top of the carriage, with a rose and extended his hand out exactly like she imagined.

But why wasn't she at all happy? She wasn't excited putting on her dress, she was excited when she saw him and the carriage, she was just… sad.

On top of that she felt guilty sharing this carriage ride and wearing matching colors with Nate. She felt like she was cheating. But it wasn't if her so-called boyfriend gave her permission.

She refused to give Chuck the credit for ruining her prom even before it started.

"Blair are you ok?" Nate asked, his hand coming to rest on hers. She looked up at his blue eyes and felt slightly calmer.

"Yes I am." She told him. She wasn't going to let Chuck ruin her senior prom. She just wont he wont even be here.

Nate got up, once the carriage stopped and took her hand so she could get down, once her heels clicked the ground, she saw someone that made her eyes go wide.

"What he doing here?!" she hissed at no one in particular when she saw Chuck at the foot of the stairs of the entrance.

He wasn't supposed to be there, that was the point of their fight in the first place. That he wasn't supposed to even attend, what was he doing here now?

"He's just here for a while." Nate told her, "just to check it out, he told me he wasn't going to be here for long…" he frowned, "Is there something wrong with you and Chuck?" he asked.

Blair sucked in an air of breath and shook her head. "No. No. None."

Chuck turned to spot her and she jumped a little from his dark gaze. She grabbed Nate's hand and pulled him towards the prom.

"Lets go." She said, trying to get away from that burning stare Chuck gave her as she ran up.

He started this, none of this would've happened if he didn't say no to going to prom and wasn't such a jerk about it, and here they were, together but not.

Once she went into the hall, everyone was there including her group of bratty friends whose eyes widened when they saw Blair come in with Nate. Penelope and Hazel walked over to her and smiled at Nate. Nate excused himself to go get a drink for the both of them, the girls started.

"Oh? So Chuck and you didn't work out after all." Penelope smirked. Blair was careful not to let Penelope get to her.

"We're perfectly fine thank you. Why? Annoyed that I got a boyfriend and ex-boyfriend with me and you basically had to bring tweedledum with you." Blair's eyes shifted to Hazel who was standing right next to Penelope. They both turned red and glared at Blair before turning around whispering angry words about her.

"Blair!" Serena appeared behind Blair and hugged her, "You look wonderful!" she awed at her dress.

Blair smiled, "Yes, Nate got it for me."

"That's nice of him." She smiled.

Dan came up next to Serena and looked at Blair as well, "Very nice dress."

Blair rolled her eyes at him, "Can't say the same for you."

"Blair, be nice." Serena frowned. Dan rolled his eyes at well and excused himself for a drink.

"So you brought Humpty Dumpty as your date?" Blair asked. "Of all people?"

"I know him! And I didn't want to go with anyone else."

"Ew, he's like your brother since your parents started dating again." Blair said in disgust.

Serena laughed and shook her head, "And how about you? Isn't it awkward dating your childhood sweetheart while you're dating his best friend? Where is your boyfriend anyways?" Serena still had to get used to the word 'boyfriend' for Chuck.

Blair's mood gloomed a little when Serena brought that up, "What boyfriend? Apparently he doesn't exist the last week or so."

Serena sighed, "Aww Blair, maybe he's busy. I don't know I usually don't make excuses for Chuck… but it looks like everything's going well for you and Nate." She smiled.

"Yeah, too well. Our corsages had an issue though it was the wrong corsage, but I like this one better than the one Nate ordered." She told Serena. "And we came in a carriage… it was so perfect Serena…" She told her friend who beamed.

"Well that's good isn't it??"

Blair didn't know what was good anymore, it was so perfect with Nate but not really. She sighed and turned around to see Chuck near the ballots.

She frowned, what was he doing there? Knowing Chuck he had something going on and she didn't like it. He also looked suspicious and Blair knew him well enough that he wasn't just standing there innocently. Before she could walk over to him Nate came by with drinks in his hands.

"Hi Serena" he smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Looking good Nate." She told him and he grinned.

"Here." He said with a smile but Blair didn't even take the drink from him, she was still busying eyeing Chuck. Nate took it as the wrong idea and thought she was annoyed with something else.

"So I'm sorry I didn't get the limo I promised." Nate started awkwardly.

"Huh?" Blair looked at him and frowned. "Limo?" she didn't know about any limo.

"Yeah I know how you like those sleek black limo's…"

Chuck's limo to be exact… Blair corrected him unconsciously.

"And something went wrong with the limo and it was a mess. But they had a carriage for backup I hope you like it." He smiled.

Something in her head ticked, when she saw Chuck take a bunch of papers from the ballot and put another stack in before he motioned one of her designer friends to come over and take the ballot away from him and onto the stage to count.

"Excuse me for a bit, while I find out why everything's not as you planned it to be." She said and walked past him and towards the ballot.

Blair grabbed Chuck who was near the ballots and she grabbed whatever was in his hands. And it said 'Nelly Yuki.'

She looked at him, her hand over his wrist. This was the first time in weeks she's been in this close proximity to him and somehow that engulfed her emotions completely. She hadn't talked to him in one week and it took a toll on her. She didn't know why he was being cruel and she didn't know how to address it. On top of that he had rigged the ballots for Nelly Yuki?? She wanted to talk to him but instead she shouted at him.

"I can't believe you! You messed with the limo! You messed with the corsage and now the ballots? I knew you'd never change." She said trying to calm herself and her voice but she couldn't. Here she was standing with the man she thought card about her and all he did up till prom was ruin it!

He ruined it by not being with her during prom and ruined it by rigging the ballot. Why he did that she didn't know and she would probably never understand. Serena, Dan and Nate stood behind Blair and watched the commotion.

"Maybe everyone was right, maybe you can't change!" her voice rose again, and she didn't understand why he didn't say anything. He didn't even look at her. She was more upset that he couldn't look at her and talk than she was at him rigging the ballots. She didn't care about being prom queen she just wanted to know what was wrong with them.

"For the first time in Constance….the prom Queen is…." Penelope opened the envelope.

Blair had so much of pent up emotions in her. Blair knew Chuck would never change. He lived to torture her. She was just so angry at him and at the situation that she didn't even notice they were announcing prom queen.

"I can't believe you aren't even defending yourself." She said disgusted by his unnatural silence. She wanted him to say something!

"Hold on.." Penelope looked at the rest of the girls confused. Not believing whose name was on the envelope"

"Lie to my face! Say Something!" her voice basically pleading him to say something, prove her wrong he wasn't here to torture her.

"Blair Waldorf." Penelope said in defeat when they couldn't make people wait any longer.

"What? I won." She blinked in surprised and then laughed, "I won!" she looked around at everyone who applauded. She then cast a smug look at Chuck who was looking at her, with a slight smirk on his face, but she overlooked that. "Hah! I won. This is my moment. I own prom." She told him. Before turning on her heels and strutting to claim her crown. She completely forgot that she was shouting a minute ago.

Chuck couldn't help but smile at her.

"Whoa, who voted for her" Dan asked when he saw Blair and Nate up there.

"I did. About 150 times." Chuck told them. Serena and Dan looked at him in awe as he looked at Blair proudly. "I wasn't going to let Nelly Yuki win." He scoffed , "I was part of the Blair Waldorf campaign." He told them his eyes not leaving Blair at all.

"But Chuck… you didn't want to go with her to prom…" Serena said.

"I know. Which is the perfect thing to do. Blair goes to prom with the Prom King." He told her. "It wouldn't be apt for the Prom Queen to go with someone who isn't the prom King, right? Plus she's been planning her prom since she was five." He looked at Serena and smiled, "You didn't think you were the only one who knew about the book did you?"

Serena was taken aback from how nice Chuck was. He sacrificed his date with Blair and made everything perfect so that he could follow the scrapbook? Even Dan's outlook on the world just got skewed.

Chuck looked back at Blair who was now on the dance floor with Nate, dancing to the prom king and queen song, and smiled. He turned to leave when Serena stopped him.

"Don't you want at least one dance with your girlfriend Chuck?" she asked quirking a brow. "I mean she might forgive you…. for bailing out on her on prom. Even though you had your reasons?"

Chuck looked over at the couple again and he saw Nate giving Blair kiss on her forehead and a vein in him popped.

"Good idea Serena." He said walking over to them. Okay so his philanthropy stopped now.

Serena laughed, "I knew it wouldn't take long for Chuck to snap."

Dan shook his head, "So let me get this straight, they're together but not?"

Serena shrugged, "Even I don't know the situation, but whatever it is… I kind of envy them…" she definitely did. Chuck and Blair had something that Serena could never have with anyone and she envied that.

Xxxx

When Blair won, she didn't actually felt like she won. At But here she was with her crown and her prom king, dancing. And she felt more miserable than she felt before.

It didn't feel right. No. It didn't feel like he was her always have always will anymore.

In fact her always will is being an ass somewhere else.

"Blair is something wrong?" Nate asked finally realizing that Blair was quite and the air around them was weird.

"Hmm?" She looked up at his magnificent blue eyes that she used to be in love with.

Love? Really was that really what she felt for him all that time? Or just childish fascinations like the one of her prom, the prom she planned for since she was five?

"Your mind isn't here is it?" he asked.

Blair looked at him and frowned, "Wow, you're observant there Archibald." she laughed.

He smiled, "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you aren't enjoying yourself." He told her. "It's him, huh?" he nudged his head over to the left where Chuck was standing talking with Serena and Dan.

Ew, what was Chuck doing with Dan? Blair thought briefly before anything else.

"What do you mean?" Blair looked at Nate.

"You'd rather be with him than me right now."

Blair laughed nervously, "What? No. What makes you say that." Damnit, was she really that transparent, she thought.

"I don't notice a lot of things, especially when we were together and I apologize from that…." He started.

Blair's eyes widened, "Nate…"

"But I notice now that you clearly rather be dancing with Chuck than me." He told her and Blair felt slightly bad she didn't hide her misery without Chuck a bit better.

He continued, "Which is okay because he did all of this for you." He told her and this made Blair frown. "Think about it, the carriage… the dress…none of it came from me Blair…. No matter how much I want to take the credit." He smiled.

Blair couldn't think anymore at this point. She knew something was up, especially after everything she drew in her scrapbook came true. But she didn't think… Chuck would… she knew he was the one who rigged everything but that's just because he liked ruining her life…. Right?

"And it's okay, because even if he's such a hardass about it, you have to know how much this guy loves you."

Blair pulled away slightly from Nate and stared at him, "What?"

He chuckled, "You heard me." He kissed her forehead.

"Excuse me, can I have this dance?" someone tapped Nate on the shoulder.

Nate grinned, "Of course, what took you so long?" and he delicately handed Blair over to Chuck.

"How… How did you know?" she stuttered when he slid in and took her hand and secured her close to him as they dance.

"Know what?" he asked.

"You really didn't have to Chuck." Blair said. Getting this dress made, the horse carriage… the everything. You didn't have to." She said.

Chuck expelled a breath, so she found out already? He looked over at Nate who was now talking to Serena and Dan who were all staring at them.

"Nate grew a pair didn't he?" he grinned.

"Chuck…"

"Oh don't be modest, Waldorf, just say thank you." He told her with a smirk.

"No, really." She told him. "I didn't think you'd find that book I didn't think… you'd do all this. All of this… the dress, the carriage… it was made for me and Nate." She said still avoiding his eyes.

Chuck loosened his grip on Blair's waist and his voice turned cold, "I am aware of that." He was annoyed Blair had to keep reminding him over and over again. He knew this while he went through the book. He wasn't happy at all knowing all of this was planned since she was eight!

And Blair noticed this change and quickly, "No, no."

"Clearly it wasn't your plan to go to prom with me let alone be seen with me." He said through a locked jaw.

"Chuck! What're you talking about?" she asked him, baffled at his sudden outburst. You're the one who didn't ask me to prom!" she said, slightly fuming on the inside. He accused her of not going with him when he didn't ask?!

"I purposely did that." He said curtly.

"Huh?" Chuck was confusing her so much tonight! Not like he hadn't this entire year.

"I purposely didn't ask you so Nate could." He told her.

"Yo…You… What?! Why?" she hissed, her eyes darting around, noticing that people were watching them. She was clearly trying her hardest not to cause a scene.

"You went didn't you? And you both looked perfectly fine up there as Prom King and Queen. What is the problem princess?" he asked like the thing didn't bother him at all. Oh, but it bothered Blair hell-of-a- lot.

That was the last straw, especially when he spoke like the intolerable jerk he used to be. She hated it when he pulled out the asshole card and plays it off like their relationship… or whatever it was right now meant nothing. She stepped on his Berluti shoes hard, making sure her Chanel heels made a dent in that shoe.

Chuck tried his hardest not to scream at her or the pain, and just grabbed his knee, "Blair what the hell?!" he hissed angrily, and looked up at her in anger but he faltered when he saw Blair's face.

She looked hurt, like whatever he said was pure betrayal to her. It ached his heart how he managed to do that to her so easily.

"If you think I'm that easy, you clearly don't know me." She said in a very low voice and controlling her quiver. She turned around and walked away from him.

Chuck forgot his foot just got stabbed by a 3 incher and jetted off to catch her.

Serena, Nate and Dan watched the two storm out.

"Trust Chuck to mess it up." Serena said throwing her hands up in defeat.

"Blair!" he shouted as he ran down the stairs to where Blair was hailing a cab. When she saw that he was running down after her, she turned her heels and walked away quickly.

Where's the stupid cab when you need one?!

"Blair!" Chuck shouted again.

"I have nothing to say to you Chuck." She told him loudly as she tried walking a bit faster. Stupid dress and heels! How she hated them now. "You can continue being a jerk elsewhere."

"Blair, stop. Come on. At least stop to take those heels off you wouldn't want to break those heels would you?" He suggested.

Blair stopped and gave a huge sigh, he was right she didn't want to break her heels or her foot. She took a deep breathe before turning around to look at the culprit who ruined her night.

She was mad at him, she was supposed to be mad at him but she couldn't help but giggle a little seeing him in this position. Chuck Bass was in a suit, panting, and both his hands on his waist, breathing in as much oxygen as he could.

"I'm honored you take great pleasure out of this." He told her when he heard her giggle.

"This just tells you to go to the gym more." She said stifling another giggle.

"I'm sorry."

She heard him say and she immediately stopped laughing and looked at him. He did look sorry, he knew he did something wrong, but Blair wanted to know exactly which part he knew he did wrong because even though she knew Chuck knew her better than anyone else sometimes Chuck over thinks things too much. Much like herself.

"And why exactly are you sorry?" she asked, crossing her arms.

Her boyfriend frowned as if he thought 'sorry' would be enough, but he knew very well with Blair sorry isn't always enough.

"Because… I sabotaged your prom." He said taking the first hit to the answer.

Okay… true true, Blair nodded but she wanted specifics because if Chuck did all of this, he clearly didn't understand the situation.

"Okay… which part?" she asked, watching him carefully.

"The part where I…. sabotaged your prom…" He said, this time not really making an effort to be specific.

"Clearly you didn't get hit hard enough." she huffed angrily. So he didn't get it! "Ugh, forget it."

"Blair…"

"I said forget it." She said.

"I don't know what you want Blair." He said in a tone that made Blair's heart squeeze up. "I don't know if you want your old life back, Nate back-,"

She frowned, "Nate back? Since when did I ever say I want Nate back?" Where on earth did Chuck get this idea from?

"The book-,"

"Forget the book already!" Blair bunched up her skirt to her side and walked towards him, taking his big hands into her small ones.

"Chuck Bass, I had that book when I was eight. It was just my hopes and dreams of the future and -,"

Chuck narrowed his eyes at her, "Keep on going, I'm sure you'll reach your bull's-eyes soon in this conversation."

She glared at him, "Don't make me step on your foot again, Bass"

He chuckled.

"And while at that time I really thought everything in that book would turn out exactly as I planned it… I didn't' know I'd come to… hit… a… a" She gestured at him in indication of a loss of words, and when she finally found her words it didn't make Chuck feel any better, "… you."

Chuck smiled slightly.

"You weren't what I planned either, yourself." He told her, grinning.

He grinned as he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers.

"I love it when you whip out your dirty eloquent talk."

"What dirty talk?! I just said the most romantic thing a girl could-," and before she could finish her sentence, Chuck's lips came crashing down on hers, and who was she to deny what she was waiting for all day?

"You could've told me." She said, her arms around his waist. "That the book bothered you. Although I wouldn't have approved of you snooping around my room."

"It was sitting there, begging to cause trouble." He told her, one arm around her waist as they both walked back to where the prom party was.

"Well then, that teaches you to stay out of people's business." She told him.

He chuckled, "Not going to happen, and this teaches you not to hide things from me."

She rolled her eyes, "Right so my diary should be splayed out for you to see."

"Too late for that."

Blair turned around and smacked him with her purse. "Chuck Bass!"

He laughed and pulled her next to him, "I'm kidding. I'm in the process of looking for it."

She huffed, "You'll never find it." He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her the most romantic kiss a girl could have on her prom night.

She ended up back at his place that night. They decided to just stay together that night in his bedroom doing so many things they missed out the last one week this prom issue was going on.

She was happy being in his arms the entire night because she missed out on this on nearly a week.

Blair took the book by the side of Chuck's table and opened it. There she saw the drawing of her dress, the horse carriage… the prince that clearly resembled Nate. She took a pen and crossed the picture of the blonde prince out and all the words that said prince.

No more dumb fairytales she thought. All from the past, and she scribbled something else in it.

The next morning Chuck woke up earlier than Blair as usual since he had to get to work. But once he woke up and saw the sleeping beauty next to him he didn't want to leave. He caressed her cheek with the back of his hand as he remembered events of last night. It didn't turn out so bad after all. He wanted it to be Blair's perfect night. She's been waiting for her senior prom since she could draw.

He got off the bed slowly as not to wake her up and decided to get room service for when she woke up. Blair was particular with her breakfast. He walked over to her side of the table and picked up the phone, "Hello Jean Pierre? Yes, Chuck Bass here, the usual Waldo-…" something that poked out underneath his bed caught his eye, "-orf breakfast today." he said finally finishing his sentence. After hearing his best chef confirm the food will be up soon, Chuck bent down to take a book from under the bed.

Ah, he thought, the prom book. This was what he based her prom off, but he really didn't need to go by the book, she didn't care. She didn't care at all. But what was it doing by her side of the bed? Did she look through it and reminisced the old days when her boyfriend was Nate and how they talked about getting married with 2.5 children? He was aching with jealousy at this point again, even though Blair told him she didn't like Nate that way anymore.

He knew from yesterday's talk with Blair (and they talked the entire night) that Blair and Nate had closure. She didn't feel anything for him except the fact that he was the past. However, he couldn't help but feel jealous once in a while is this how a relationship works?

This book has got to be burned, he thought as he opened it, looking at it one last time, and when he did he had to suppress fits of laughter. He looked through it one more time and had to suck in his laughter so he wouldn't wake Blair.

Blair had fun drawing yesterday night, he thought. Every picture that had a blonde Nate in it was replaced by someone in black hair (since Blair only had a black pen to play around with) and he figured it was himself. And the carriage? Was replaced by his black limo. And every word that said Nate and prince was crossed out to say Chuck and King.

He laughed so much that he had to take an intake of breath to re-supply all his oxygen he let out while looking at her drawing.

And right at the bottom in black ink on the last page he saw:

Happy Now?

And again he laughed.

He set the book down and settled behind Blair, wrapping his arms around her and kissed her cheek before he fell back to sleep with a smile on his face.

His girlfriend was such a sap… and he loved it.
