A/N: Ok, so this chapter is much shorter than the other two but like i've said. Shorter chapters more frequent updates. I know this update has taken awhile but I went away on holiday... :) Oh and the past two chapters have kinda been setting up the story so, the drama will be coming.
A huge Thank you goes out to the people who reviewed the last Chapter!
Enjoy! Please Review! It takes a few seconds. And if I know what you guys like and don't like the story will improve.
Blair was annoyed. She slipped her shoes on and glanced at herself in the mirror, noticing how she clearly looked annoyed. She curved her lips upwards at an attempt at a smile. It didn't work; she still looked and felt annoyed. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She was tired of having days were the more unlikely scenarios would occur and the ones you expected to occur would not. She flipped her hair behind her shoulders and left her room. She was going to go and get some coffee.
She was outside and walking to get coffee within minutes. Her shoes were making her uncomfortable. She glanced down at her red shoes, and sighed, these shoes never gave her problems. She turned the corned ignoring the growing discomfort. A week and half had past since Chuck's party. The only person Blair was talking to that had attended that party was Serena. She didn't want to have another fight with Chuck. She didn't want to hear about Nate's conflicting emotions. She didn't want to hear Dan complain about how everything is just messed up. No. She wanted to live in the land of denial for awhile where the people that surrounded her, and that she surrounded, weren't constantly surrounded by a hurricane of things that they needed to sort out. And she was happy to find that Serena wanted to live in the land of denial, with her for awhile. Blair turned another corner and stopped. She put her one hand on a wall to support herself and then she lifted her foot and pulled off her one shoe. She flexed her toes of that foot. She then put her shoe back on. She didn't really care at this stage if anyone was around watching her do this. She then took her other shoe off and started flexing her other foots toes- at the same time she felt something brush pass her and she lost her balance, she then felt something grab her arm, her shoe fell to the floor and she found herself steadied.
She looked at the source of pressure on her arm. It was a hand. She followed the hand and found the face of a guy. Blair took in his appearance. His hair was reddish brown- slightly redder than brown- it was messy as well. His eyes were green. He was smiling. And overall Blair really liked the look of him.
'Hi.' She said. He blinked and he broke into an even wider smile. 'Uh, considering I don't know you could you let me go?' Blair added in when he said nothing and didn't loosen his grip on her. He let go of Blair. She bent down and put her other shoe on. 'Uh thanks.' She said when it was firmly on her foot. Again the boy said nothing. She nodded and began to walk away.
'Rogan!' Blair heard the boy called she turned around and looked at him. He caught up with her. 'My name, it's Rogan. I'm sorry I made you lose your balance and then didn't say anything… its just you caught me off guard.' Blair gave a small laugh.
'I'm Blair.' She said. 'Thanks for stopping me from falling over.'
'Least I could do, Blair.' He said. Blair pointed behind her.
'I have to get going.' She said softly. Rogan gave her a weak smile.
'See you around.'
'Bye Rogan.' She moved her hair behind her shoulders, turned and walked off.
She walked a bit further down the road and turned into a coffee shop. She was smiling, she had found Rogan adorable. Adorable and good looking- she knew it was a strange combination but she couldn't help thinking it would probably be one of the best combinations a guy could have. Her smile faltered as Blair realized she probably wouldn't see him again. She went up to the counter and mentally blocked out that thought. She gave the lady her order, paid and went to a side table waiting for her order. She sat down and once more stared down at her red shoes. Blair wasn't aware of anything else going on around her as this was the case she was rather surprised when she looked up and saw Chuck and Nathan sitting across from her. Chuck was smirking and his palms were placed flat down on the table. Nate looked nervous. Blair raised her eyebrows.
What did I do to deserve this! Blair mentally said to herself. She then scoffed realizing she probably had done many things to warrant this unpleasant visit. Karma. What a bitch. Her eyes crossed from Chuck to Nate and back again. She placed her elbows on the table and leaned a bit forward.
'Well, do you expect me to read your minds or are you going to say something?' she paused and quickly added, 'I see you're all healed up, Nate.' Instinctively Nate touched his lip.
'Yeah,' Nate mumbled, 'Listen Blair, we need to talk to you. Do you have some time now?'
'What do you need to talk to me about?' Nate hesitated before he answered.
'Serena and Dan.' He finally said. He then pointed to Chuck, 'and he needs to talk to you about-' Chuck interrupted him.
'My party.' He then leaned back in his chair Blair stood up.
'I think I'll skip these conversations.' She said sharply.
'We weren't giving you a choice.' Chuck retorted.
'Well then, let me give you a choice. You can either leave me alone or bother me and provide me with another reason to make your life a living hell?'
'You mean make it more of a living hell than you do already?' Chuck again chimed in.
'What is your problem?' Blair angrily shot out while slamming her hand on the table.
Nate turned to look at Chuck he raised his eyebrows. 'Chuck, back off.' He said softly to him while shaking his head.
'I'm leaving.' Blair said. She was about to walk away when Nate stepped in front of her blocking her way. Chuck then moved to the other side of Nate blocking her other possible exit route.
'Please.' He said. Blair shook her head. This was the last thing she wanted to do.
'No. Nate, here is an idea if you want to –or need to- talk about Serena and Dan how about talking to either Serena or Dan?' She folded her arms and turned towards Chuck.
'And you Chuck, I think we've said enough to each other.' Blair glanced around. She was caught between a table Nate and Chuck. She stretched her back out.
'Move.' Her voice was deadly but they didn't move. Just then Rogan walked into the coffee shop they were in. He spotted Blair and made his way over to her.
'Uh sorry, could you just move a little? ' He said to Chuck. Chuck did. Rogan stepped in front of Chuck and took a step towards Blair- who was now smiling.
'Rogan!' She exclaimed.
'Am I interrupting?' He asked and then looked at Nate and Chuck.
'At the best possible time.' Was Blair's reply. Rogan smiled at her he then turned and introduced himself to Nate and Chuck.
'I'm Rogan.'
'Nate.'
'Chuck Bass.' Chuck regarded Rogan. 'You know Blair?' He asked a hint of dislike in his voice- which Rogan did not miss.
'Just met,' He smirked at Chuck and then turned to Blair, 'I realized I should have asked you out or at least have gotten your number.' She examined Rogan she was about to say something when the waiter brought her her coffee. (It was a take away order- which Blair inwardly thanked herself for) She took a sip of her coffee. A rather awkward silence had formed. She cocked her head to the side and looked up at Rogan.
'Are you doing anything now?' He shook his head. 'Would you like to go for a walk then, Rogan?' Rogan grinned. Chuck took a step towards them.
'She's a handful.' Chuck said to Rogan while folding his arms.
'And he is an ass.' Blair retorted. Rogan laughed. Nate sighed. She took Rogan's arm and together they walked away from Chuck and Nate.
Blair could not believe any of this had just happened. She looked up Rogan. He really seems to be my personal rescuer. Blair mentally noted and then took another sip of her coffee.
Rogan turned to regard Blair. 'Are you walking with me now because you want to or because you needed an excuse to leave those guys back there?' Blair was surprised by the question.
'Both.' She answered eventually. Rogan looked at her, nodded, and then smiled at her. They had just reached the end of the street they were on. Blair heard her name being called. She stopped walking and turned around. She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and found herself waiting –much to her annoyance- for Chuck to reach her, which he did in a matter of moments. He seemed furious.
'I just need to steal her away for a moment.' Chuck rushed out at Rogan and then grabbed Blair's arm and pulled her aside.
'What?' she asked exasperatedly.
'You don't know this guy Blair; you can't just go off with him.' She raised her eyebrows and scoffed at him.
'I'm a big girl Chuck, I can handle myself.' Chuck shook his head.
'What you don't seem to comprehend is that you are a girl who guys want to sleep with! What are you going to do if he tries anything with you?' He paused taking her in. 'You don't really like playing it rough, Blair. Breaking nails isn't really your thing.' Blair stepped closer to Chuck so she could whisper her reply, to him, in his ear.
'Now Chuck, you know that isn't completely true,' she paused for a few seconds, 'and if he does try something maybe I'll just sleep with him.' Blair felt Chuck's hand tighten around her arm. She took a step back so she could look at him. He was clearly annoyed.
'Don't leave with him.' His voice was soft now. 'Come on. Please. Just come back with me and talk to Nate and I.'
'Why?' Chuck paused before he answered.
'For Nate. For Serena. For me.' Blair shook her head. There was something about the way Chuck had spoken to her- almost like he was worried about her- that made her want to go back with him. But she didn't want him to think he had any hold over her, so she came up with a compromise.
'You and Nate can come by later and we can discuss what you want to discuss.' She reached for Chuck's hand and curled her fingers around it and then removed it from her arm.
'When Rogan and I have finished our walk, I will text you and let you know when you guys can come over.' She walked away from him.
'Sorry about that.' She said to Rogan.
'No problem, Blair.'
They left and had a rather good time for quite awhile.
