Part Fifteen

The Eighth Annual Chocolate Show

Dan stared at Blair, his eyebrows knitting together.

He looked up past the brunette his lips twitching as he tried to suppress the urge to speak.

Serena was standing behind Blair looking at him anxiously, shaking her head again and again, making ‘no’ movements with her hands behind Blair’s back.

She could tell that he was trying not to speak and it seemed that she had a good idea what he was likely to say because her hand gestures were getting more emphatic by the second. Dan knew in his mind that he should probably listen to her and remain silent. After all, Serena knew Blair better than anyone, and if she didn’t think it was a good idea, it probably wasn’t.

But still … he just couldn’t not …

“You know we’re going to be a room full of chocolate, right?” Dan blurted staring at Blair.

Blair arched her eyebrow and looked over at him balefully. “Your point?”

“Chocolate’s … brown,” Dan responded gesturing in her general direction.

Blair looked over at Vanessa, “…and brains too. He’s a keeper.”

Vanessa smirked at the comment and looked over at Dan shaking her head.

To the surprise and disappoint of Dan and Serena (though she wouldn’t admit it), Blair and Vanessa had gotten along quite well upon meeting each other. Dan still seemed bewildered by it but Serena was certain that Vanessa’s inspired outfit – a red Marc Jacobs-esque leather skirt with a white Betsey Johnson-esque button down shirt, a black western style ski vest with a faux-fur collar and red racing gloves – had convinced Blair that if Vanessa could put something that funky and fashionable together on a limited budget that she was not a total write off – despite the fact that she was dating Dan.

“Why would you wear so much … white?” Dan asked ignoring Vanessa’s look and Blair’s comment, his tone almost angry as if her bizarre fashion choice offended him on some deeply personal level.

“White?” Blair asked indignantly. “White?” she asked again louder her eyes sparking. “This is not just white!” Blair declared sweeping her hands down over her body. “This is Hollywood history,” she continued. “My mother gave up Cory Kennedy and Daria Werbowy for this,” Blair sniffed her chin lifting smugly.

Serena looked over at Blair at that, a tender smile coming to her face as she looked at Blair’s gloating expression. To some, Blair might have seemed insufferably conceited at that moment, but Serena knew that it wasn’t that.

Blair was just happy.

When Eleanor had given the present to her at brunch, Blair had been speechless. And when Eleanor had revealed that she had given up Cory Kennedy and Daria Werbowy for her new campaign in a trade for the outfit, Blair had dissolved into tears. They were very dignified tears and she got herself back under control very quickly, but it was quite clear that Eleanor had finally managed to do something right.

Serena shook her head as she glared at Dan. It seemed that the next time they all went out together she’d have to bring cardboard and markers since apparently he would need her to make a sign from him to get a clue.

“It’s Audrey Hepburn’s white trench coat, head scarf and gloves from Charade,” Serena said butting into the conversation before Dan could say anything that would rile Blair up more. It wasn’t often that Blair got to bask in an obvious display of her mothers love and she wanted her girlfriend to be able to enjoy the basking for as long as possible.

“Oh,” Dan exclaimed the gleam in his eyes making Serena sigh. “That’s who the tall girl in that movie was.”

Blair’s eyes flashed and Serena quickly reached out, wrapping her arms around Blair’s waist, drawing the brunette close into her body as Blair attempted to rush Dan – most likely to throttle him to death.

“He’s joking, B,” Serena said desperately into Blair’s ear as her eyes lifted to glare at Dan. “He knows the entire score to My Fair Lady,” she continued soothingly, smirking at Dan when Vanessa turned to look at him questioningly. “I’ve personally heard him sing the chorus of ‘I’ve Grown Accustomed to her Face’.”

Serena could see Vanessa struggling to control her laugher.

“He’s just being a dick,” she finished as Dan looked around them, refusing to make eye contact with anyone as his cheeks reddened.

That’s what he got for deliberately riling up her girlfriend, Serena thought.

Blair relaxed against Serena’s body at the blonde’s words, slumping into her arms though she continued to glare at Dan.

“So,” Vanessa said clapping her hands together looking extremely amused. “Who’s up for chocolate?”

---

“You wouldn’t say that if you’d heard his cover of The Smiths ‘Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This Before’,” Vanessa said challengingly, walking backwards so that she could look at Blair as they argued.

“Another cover of The Smiths,” Blair sniffed, “how creative and original. What’s next, remixing Dylan songs?”

Vanessa pointed a finger at Blair. “You can’t use that example. It’s already been released and you …”

Vanessa paused, turning around quickly as she collided with someone, her hand automatically extending to help steady the person as she began to say, “I’m so sorry,” and over again.

“It’s fine, really,” Nate said smiling as looked at the apologizing girl in front of him. “Really,” he continued as his eyes drifted past her, his smile faltering a second after that.

“Blair … Serena,” Nate said a few seconds later, his eyes moving between the two of them before he seemed to register that Dan was there as well and added, “Dan.”

“Nate,” Dan returned with a nod of his head, taking a step forward and extending his hand for a handshake. It seemed the manly thing to do.

“Hey,” Serena greeted once the boys were finished, a smile on her face though it was a little strained. “Is that …” she began gesturing a little past him to a blonde woman a couple meters away.

“Yeah, yeah,” Nate said looking behind him before smiling a little awkwardly. “She dragged me along. Mother’s you know,” he said shrugging, his eyes on Blair who was silent. “Anyway, I was on my way to … so I better,” he said gesturing past them. “I’ll see you at school I guess,” he said his eyes finally leaving Blair’s before he began to move past them.

“Well, that was awk …” Serena began, pausing when Blair began to walk away following in the direction Nate had walked off in. “…ward,” Serena finished watching Blair’s retreating back.

“So, she’s going to talk to him then,” Dan said also following Blair’s retreat.

“Seems like,” Serena responded before sighing deeply. “I need chocolate,” she murmured a moment later looking around her for the nearest booth.

-

Nate stopped walking in the private hallway that led to the bathrooms. He knew Blair was following him and figured it would be better to talk to her away from the urinals.

“I was on my way to … so I better,” Blair began mockingly when she caught up to him. “You’re such a shitty liar,” she said shaking her head.

“Are you really fucking Serena?” Nate asked ignoring Blair’s words, his body tensing as he was finally able to voice the concerns that had been driving him crazy for almost a month.

He’d denied it when Chuck brought it up, but he knew it was true, he had felt it in his bones.

Serena had always put Blair before him. She hadn’t even been willing to give them a chance because of how it might affect Blair. But what killed him was that she didn’t even really care. Not getting the chance to explore things between them because of Blair didn’t even bother Serena.

All Serena had been concerned about was Blair and as he watched them in the past couple of months he realized why that was … and it made him burn jealously.

“Yeah, I am,” Blair replied glaring at him. “Jealous?” she asked a second later and then shook her head. “Of course you are,” she snapped reading him like a book. The flushed skin, the averted eyes, and slumped shoulders, he was telegraphing everything he was feeling. She had just pretended not to see it before.

Nate looked up at her at that, his eyes flashing before he turned to look around at the nothingness surrounding them, his shoulder slumping as he disappeared into himself once more.

Silence from Nate. How shocking, Blair thought.

“I don’t eve know why I followed you,” Blair said breaking the silence as she always did. “You’re not even upset about losing me. You’re just upset about losing Serena,” she continued unable to keep a trace of hurt out of her voice. He had been her boyfriend, he should have been broken up over not getting to be with her anymore, but even now it was still all about Serena for him.

“That’s not …” Nate began weakly before trailing off, his eyes dropping to the ground.

“Jesus! You can’t even make it through a half assed lie,” Blair said shaking her head again. “Whatever, it doesn’t even matter,” she continued a second later her back straightening as she glared at him. “I didn’t come out here to talk about what a crap boyfriend you were.”

“Then why did you follow me?” Nate asked peevishly. Blair had gotten the girl, he didn’t see why she had to torture him with it. She won. Serena was hers. He was doubly screwed.

“To tell you that I put up with you bullshit when we were dating because I cared about you,” Blair said sounding absolutely bewildered as if she couldn’t fathom how that had once been the case. “But,” she went on poking him in the chest as she spoke. “If you try anything with my girlfriend,” she went on holding his gaze. “I swear to God that what I will do to you will make you long to be a character in one of those fucked up Japanese horror movies.”

Nate’s lips parted and Blair knew that he was going to try and say something … knowing him something that would piss her off.

Blair held up her hand silencing him.

“I forgave you for sleeping with her and I can forgive you for acting like a punk-ass little bitch for the past month,” Blair began. “I’d like to think that we were friends and friends forgive,” she continued. “But if you try to ruin this for me … that’s it. If you try anything with her again, I promise that I will never forgive you,” Blair went on her voice an intense whisper. “You don’t want me as an enemy,” Blair said a little louder taking a step back from him.

Nate turned his head to the side looking away from her. A second later, with his eyes still averted he nodded, letting her know that he heard and understood what she said.

Blair would have liked more, would have liked a promise that he would keep it in his pants, but she’d always wanted more from Nate then he was ever willing to give her.

“Enjoy the rest of your night,” Blair said in response and then she began to move away to get back to her date.

-

Serena immediately reached out for Blair’s hand as she rejoined them and tugged the brunette towards her body, wrapping her arm around Blair’s waist as she held up a piece of chocolate to her lips.

It was time to begin “Operation Cheer Blair up Because Nate is a Ruining Douchebag”.

“These are so good,” Serena gushed pushing the chocolate against Blair’s lips once she had the brunette safely wrapped in her arms. “Come on, open the hanger,” she continued, dancing the piece of chocolate against Blair’s lips until the brunette cracked a small smile and opened her mouth, allowing Serena to slip the chocolate inside.

“Mm,” Blair moaned, rubbing her stomach with an exaggerated motion as she nodded her head at Serena.

Serena smiled. Blair was being mocking and sarcastic, but she could feel the tension draining from her body as she continued to keep Blair held loosely within the circle of her arms.

“Okay, I’m sorry, I know it’s rude but,” Vanessa said turning to look at Blair as the four of them began to move again, “was that your …”

“Ex-boyfriend?” Blair interjected still scanning the items at the stall they were passing by, “Yeah.”

Vanessa nodded and made a sympathetic sound in her throat. “Still in love with you?” she asked.

“No,” Blair responded turning around to face Vanessa, a smile on her face as she did. “He’s still in love with her,” she said gesturing towards Serena who grimaced at being brought into the conversation but said nothing to refute Blair’s statement that the brunette’s ex-boyfriend was in love with her.

“Oh,” Vanessa said and then she promptly shut up.

-

IHOP … Saturday Night 11:45 pm

“You can compare anyone to characters from Valley of Dolls,” Blair said moving her fork over to Serena’s plate to spear a piece of bacon. Her brows knitting together a moment later when the meat refused to stay on her fork. “Oh for the love of god, how did I let you talk me into coming here?!? This is ridiculous,” she complained abandoning the fork and reaching for the bacon with her fingers. “I could as well be eating franks and beans by a campfire on the frontier.”

“Yeah, but would it be ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ franks and beans?” Serena asked smiling over at Blair, laughing lightly as the brunette rolled her eyes at her. That didn’t stop Blair from reaching over and stealing a tater tot from her plate however.

“I’m sure you can compare them,” Vanessa said referring back to Blair’s earlier statement. “But I don’t think that it would be very flattering.”

“Of course it wouldn’t be flattering,” Blair responded finally tiring of eating Serena’s food and focusing her attention on Vanessa. “Everyone in that novel is a hot mess. But then again most people are.”

“So who would you be?” Vanessa asked resting her elbows on the table interested to hear what Blair would come up with.

From what she had been able to tell, while Blair was, as Dan had said, a 95 pound, doe-eyed, label whoring, package of girly entitlement, she had also been able to determine that the brunette was smart, clever, sensitive and probably far more self-aware than others, including Dan gave her credit for.

She didn’t really think that she and Blair would ever be close friends. She suspected that the two of them spending more than a couple of hours in each others company would have disastrous effects. But she was almost certain that in a way she liked the brunette.

The fact that Serena was clearly head over heels in love with Blair and was clearly not interested in Dan except in ways that were completely platonic endeared the brunette to her as well.

“I would have said a cross between Anne and Helen a few months ago, but I’m in a stage of self-development right now so that’s probably changed,” Blair responded taking a sip of her hot chocolate (Serena’s attempt at humor after her complaints about all of the chocolate she had consumed that night) and determined that it was still too hot.

“Interesting. Why?” Vanessa asked.

“Anne was involved with a man who continually cheated on her with other people, and because she was an idiot she actually married him so that he could continue to cheat on her and be entitled to half of her assets,” Blair responded her hand moving to Serena’s thigh under the table rubbing it gently.

Valley of the Dolls was one of Serena’s favorite books as well, they had both read it obsessively and Blair knew that Serena was probably thinking about the omission she had made when talking about Anne’s life. Namely that Anne’s husband had also cheated on her with one of her best friends.

“Luckily I realized the error of my ways before that scenario had a chance to come true,” she continued leaning to the side to kiss Serena on the cheek.

Serena smiled and relaxed at the tender touch. She hadn’t even realized she had tensed up until her body relaxed again.

“And Helen?” Vanessa asked watching the interaction between the girls carefully.

She had been wondering about what exactly the situation was between the two of them and that guy from earlier on was but she knew better than to ask. She had read Valley of the Dolls too however, and she was fairly certain she knew why Serena had looked not just embarrassed but also pained when Blair had said that her ex was still in love with the blonde.

It seemed the Upper East Side really was like a real-life soap opera.

“She was successful and manipulative … but not ambitious to the point of self-destruction like Neely,” Blair responded with a smile. “She had a perfect balance, of brains, talent, gumption, class and dramatics. The only difference is I would have realized that I looked better without the wig.”

“My own little Machiavelli,” Serena cooed leaning into Blair a little bit and placing a kiss against her temple. “By 2020, Manhattan will totally be known as the Principality of Waldorfia.”

“The Principality of Waldsen,” Blair corrected smiling over at Serena. “I’m going to depend on your love and support to develop my iron fist before I can drop it on the unsuspecting masses. As co-dictatrix your name should be immortalized too.”

“Is that even a real word?” Serena asked laughing.

“Waldsen? No of course not. I made it up. Like Brangelina … only younger and sexier,” Blair responded. “Yeah, I said it,” she added a second later looking across the table as if daring their companions to contradict her.

“Not that,” Serena said smirking. “I meant dictatrix.”

Blair nodded. “I looked it up.”

Serena laughed more. “I find that totally unsurprising. I knew there was something to my theory about …”

“Uh, I feel like this is about to turn into a conversation that you two should have in private,” Dan interjected holding up his hands though he was smiling.

Blair turned to look at Serena sharply. “You didn’t tell him about that, did you?”

“Is there something to tell him about?” Serena asked arching a pale eyebrow. “I thought I was joking, but when you start throwing around terms like ‘iron fist’ and ‘dictatrix’ a girl starts to wonder.”

“You’re Jennifer North,” Blair muttered slumping back against the booth before reaching for her hot chocolate again.

“I saw that one coming,” Serena admitted looking across the table and nodding. “Luckily rehab is going quite well for me and I’ve already landed a sugar momma so I won’t have to show my breasts in French films and the rich gentleman callers will just have to squire elsewhere,” she continued smirking before she paused, an alarmed look coming to her face. “You love me for more than by breasts, right?” Serena asked struggling to control the urge to smile as she looked at Blair seriously.

“Of course,” Blair responded without missing a beat. “The hips and nips are great, but you’ve got a fabulous ass too. Your legs are also pretty awesome,” she added almost as if it was an afterthought.

“You see, what I love most about Blair is that she respects me as a person,” Serena replied causing Dan and Vanessa to laugh as Blair nodded acknowledging the truth of the statement before taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

“Oh my god,” Serena declared a second later, a large smile coming to her face as she looked at Blair.

“What?” Blair asked frowning causing Serena to laugh louder. “What?” Blair asked again reaching out and swatting the blonde on the arm lightly.

“You’ve got a little …” Serena began her eyes crinkling with mirth. Blair had a spot of foam from the hot chocolate on the tip of her nose, and it was probably the cutest thing that Serena had ever seen.

Without thinking, Serena leaned forward and licked the foam off of the tip of Blair’s nose before kissing the spot where the foam had been. Pulling back slightly, Serena smiled widely as she looked into Blair’s eyes, the brunette smiling back at her as they gazed at each other.

Dan cleared his throat loudly.

Still smiling, Blair looked down at the table top and reached for her hot chocolate, taking a careful sip to mask her avoidance of their eyes, while Serena looked across the table and blushed.

“Sorry,” she said shrugging.

“Don’t be, that was hot,” Vanessa said smiling over at the blonde. “I’m going to have to stop mocking XY’s for being so into it,” she continued though she suspected the sexiness of what she had just witnessed came more from the fact that Blair and Serena had been so into each other at that moment that the rest of the world ceased to exist for them, then from the fact they were both girls. There was something powerfully sexy about someone looking at you like you were the only thing in the world that mattered to them.

“Oh god,” Dan groaned dropping his head into his hands comically, shaking his head from side to side. “Not again,” he moaned looking up to glare at Serena though a smile was playing on his lips.

Vanessa laughed and then turned her full attention to Dan, reaching out to touch his cheek, gently urging him to turn and face her. She then leaned in and very slowly, very deliberately showed him that he had nothing to worry about when it came to her affections.

To be continued ...

-Blair being all gangster possessive with Nate wins at life.
-Bringing up Waldsen HEE! so cute ♥
-The whole dictatrix thing made me die of lol.
-I could actually picture this whole thing, not a lot of fics can make you do that.
..to name a few things.

You are a godess. BY FAR my favorite fic writer ever :)

[identity profile] yeahbutstill.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I do believe I am singhandedly the worst reviewer in the history of history. I read every single chapter, and either have to run out directly afterwards, or can't find the right words to compliment this astounding piece of literature.

I was hooked right from the start. This is all so realistic I could see it happening on the show. Well, maybe not on the show, but you catch my drift. All of them are completely in character. Not a single one of them reads awkwardly or OOC. That takes a lot of skill to be able to do.

Although teh Waldsen is the centre of the fics, as they should be, I really like that the rest of the Upper East Side is included. While I'm sure all of us would just love for it to be the two of them, alone, forever; that just doesn't happen.

Their respective coming-outs to their mothers were both so quintessentially them. Serena and her stubborness when it comes to being herself and keeping those she loves close to her. And Blair with her excrutiatingly fragile relationship with her mother and her repressed self loathing. Eleanor and Lilly both being rather supportive was quite a nice touch; as many parents these days are becoming more accepting. Not everyone's mother disowns them anymore.

The Dan/Serena dynamic is pure awesome. The ease with which Dan let go was not only chivalrous, but something I can see him doing. And their developing friendship is utterly adorable. Dan is Serena's male BFF, basically.

And speaking of the BFF's. Simply put; I love them. Eveything about their relationship flows so well. You can see exactly why they love each other so much. Neither one is more interesting nor outshines the other one. They're equally fantastic. Teh Waldsen are just so cute, and touching, and loving, and hawt, and fun. Everything anyone could wish for. Back in Chapter6, when Blair couldn't bear the thought of losing Serena so she basically willed herself to do something she didn't really want to do in an effort to keep her, and when Serena immediately realised that; it broke my heart in such a good way.

Nate's a douche. But he's pretty much always a douche, so you've nailed him spot on. =]

I am a fan of the public outing they got, courtesy of Gossip Girl. Blair's total air of nonchalance with the: “Oh, whatever! Like this is so shocking. Girls kissing girls, oh my god the sky is falling! Admit it, you would all make out with her too!” was so her. And the fact that everyone just basically all admitted teh Waldsen are mega hot and then moved on, was pure gold.

I just love this. I save every chapter to my crappy laptop and read certain chapters when I'm having a shite day. The power of words is unsurpassed, I say.


And so, [wow, could this thing be any longer?], I end this by just saying:

From what she had been able to tell, while Blair was, as Dan had said, a 95 pound, doe-eyed, label whoring, package of girly entitlement, she had also been able to determine that the brunette was smart, clever, sensitive and probably far more self-aware than others, including Dan gave her credit for.
That is Blair. Pure and simple.

and...

Blair’s eyes flashed and Serena quickly reached out, wrapping her arms around Blair’s waist, drawing the brunette close into her body as Blair attempted to rush Dan – most likely to throttle him to death.


“He’s joking, B,” Serena said desperately into Blair’s ear as her eyes lifted to glare at Dan. “He knows the entire score to My Fair Lady,” she continued soothingly, smirking at Dan when Vanessa turned to look at him questioningly. “I’ve personally heard him sing the chorus of ‘I’ve Grown Accustomed to her Face’.”


WIN! To the highest power plus three.

Gosh, Steph. Why dont you just write an essay :P lol

[identity profile] yeahbutstill.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I will. Hmph.

That was my review for all fifteen chapters. Break it up into fifteen parts and it's really not that long.

And =P right back.

Ha, I think this is the best chapter to date. I love Blair is so badass and adorable, no one else can pull off a wide range of emotions like her. Vanessa's outfit, the chocolate gala thing, the aggressive thing with Nate, and their double date were also favorites. I love them analyzing the book, and the banter, and I really want to read it now. Continue, as always, please!
And I think you restored my faith in GG fics. Particulary Waldsen. :)

[identity profile] sporkmetender.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Less of the hot sex and more of the adorable banter/cuddliness this chapter, but as wonderful as ever. I really love what you're doing with this fic and I can't wait to read the next chapter. Also, you get mega bonus points for Audrey, and especially for Charade--I love that movie!

[identity profile] sinandmisery.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh how I love this fic. And the way you write Blair <3 I can so picture her face as S tries to convince her to go into iHOP (though, for the record, Waffle House > iHOP).

Yay for Eleanor being super sweet to Blair, but boo to Dan being a little bitch to her. Is Blair rubbing off on him?!

[identity profile] v-vengeance6661.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 03:54 am (UTC)(link)

Wow i love this couple, and your writing, more than is normal.

[identity profile] metalphoenix.livejournal.com 2007-12-15 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Man, I love this fic. Thannnk you again for such a wonderful chapter!

“No,” Blair responded turning around to face Vanessa, a smile on her face as she did. “He’s still in love with her,” she said gesturing towards Serena who grimaced at being brought into the conversation but said nothing to refute Blair’s statement that the brunette’s ex-boyfriend was in love with her.


“Oh,” Vanessa said and then she promptly shut up.


Awwwwwkward.

Like Brangelina … only younger and sexier,” Blair responded. “Yeah, I said it,” she added a second later looking across the table as if daring their companions to contradict her.

Hahahha. No one would EVER contradict you, Blair. Ever.

When Eleanor had given the present to her at brunch, Blair had been speechless. And when Eleanor had revealed that she had given up Cory Kennedy and Daria Werbowy for her new campaign in a trade for the outfit, Blair had dissolved into tears. They were very dignified tears and she got herself back under control very quickly, but it was quite clear that Eleanor had finally managed to do something right.

Yay! Eleanor gets awesome mom points! It's about friggin time. But seriously, that's the best present ever.

Serena shook her head as she glared at Dan. It seemed that the next time they all went out together she’d have to bring cardboard and markers since apparently he would need her to make a sign from him to get a clue.

Why was Dan being a little bit of a tool? Normally I love him in this fic, but he was being unpleasant to Blair and that just can't be. I suspect that my dislike of him in this chapter has more to do with the fact that he was being mean to Blair.

“He’s joking, B,” Serena said desperately into Blair’s ear as her eyes lifted to glare at Dan. “He knows the entire score to My Fair Lady,” she continued soothingly, smirking at Dan when Vanessa turned to look at him questioningly. “I’ve personally heard him sing the chorus of ‘I’ve Grown Accustomed to her Face’.”

I almost pissed myself laughing.

“I forgave you for sleeping with her and I can forgive you for acting like a punk-ass little bitch for the past month,” Blair began. “I’d like to think that we were friends and friends forgive,” she continued. “But if you try to ruin this for me … that’s it. If you try anything with her again, I promise that I will never forgive you,” Blair went on her voice an intense whisper. “You don’t want me as an enemy,” Blair said a little louder taking a step back from him.

Nate's an ass. I love that she called him a punk-ass little bitch. And I was cheering out loud when she threatened him.

“The Principality of Waldsen,” Blair corrected smiling over at Serena. “I’m going to depend on your love and support to develop my iron fist before I can drop it on the unsuspecting masses. As co-dictatrix your name should be immortalized too.”

“Is that even a real word?” Serena asked laughing.

“Waldsen? No of course not. I made it up. Like Brangelina … only younger and sexier,” Blair responded. “Yeah, I said it,” she added a second later looking across the table as if daring their companions to contradict her.


What's to contradict? It's certainly the truth.

“Of course,” Blair responded without missing a beat. “The hips and nips are great, but you’ve got a fabulous ass too. Your legs are also pretty awesome,” she added almost as if it was an afterthought.

“You see, what I love most about Blair is that she respects me as a person,” Serena replied causing Dan and Vanessa to laugh as Blair nodded acknowledging the truth of the statement before taking a sip of her hot chocolate.


Of course Blair loves Serena for her mind.

“Don’t be, that was hot,” Vanessa said smiling over at the blonde. “I’m going to have to stop mocking XY’s for being so into it,” she continued though she suspected the sexiness of what she had just witnessed came more from the fact that Blair and Serena had been so into each other at that moment that the rest of the world ceased to exist for them, then from the fact they were both girls. There was something powerfully sexy about someone looking at you like you were the only thing in the world that mattered to them.

“Oh god,” Dan groaned dropping his head into his hands comically, shaking his head from side to side. “Not again,” he moaned looking up to glare at Serena though a smile was playing on his lips.


Ah Vanessa, she's totally gay for the Waldsen. Poor Dan...another one bites the dust.



Please say there will be more soon.

“You don’t want me as an enemy,”

Another thing to love Blair. I was cheering her on that line I swear, also badass!Blair is teh sex. So, so sexy.Go, Blair Go!! Def I wouldn't like to be on the other end of Blair's rudeness.
I like the way Vanessa and Blair went along on this one too, very courteous with each other and all. Another thing that I always have love on your fics -and Waldsen's relationship in general- is how protectively they are of each other.That made me squee with delight every time because its so cute :) Also I was glad to see Dan again, because you know I love your Dan, even if he was making Blair upset *glaring Dan* Luckily she has her own personal prince princess charming to defend her.
Oh dammit, so much lines to love and so little time. Ok, just one last comment...Nate, Nate, Nate *shaking head* I wanted to slap him to life for a moment there. Even all jealous he seems lifeless. I was really expecting more of him when he was face to face with Waldsen. Though I have a feeling that he is one of those that give backstabs. After all he have his own evil concience whispering bad advices at his hear named Chuck Bass.

Thank you so much for share this awesome fic with us...this chapter was another win and I can't wait to read more :)
