Chapter 20
Part 1

Blair woke up, looking around, trying to remember where she was. But she wasn’t wondering for long. She instantly recognized the white candles and purple throw pillows. And the sleeping Chuck Bass beside her.
Sighing, Blair ran the events of the previous night through her mind.
She wasn’t disappointed.
She had accepted Jenny back, but she would find out later if that was the right choice. Blair just hoped for the best. She had finally ended it with Nate, which she knew was the right choice considering all the things he had done to her and how many second chances she had given him. And then there was Chuck. For the first time, Blair didn’t feel disgusted at what she had done. She wasn’t sure what to do next, but she knew it wouldn’t be getting mad at Chuck. She had willingly started the whole thing. And he had again asked her if she was sure. She loved that.
Hearing the rustle of the bed sheets, Blair turned to look beside her. Chuck was awake. He opened his eyes lazily at her.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he said, smiling.
“Good morning,” Blair replied cheerfully, giving him a satisfied look. “Quite a night that was.”
“Yes, definitely didn’t go as I had expected. I was pretty sure you’d end up in Nate’s bed this morning.”
Blair laughed. “How wrong you were.”
“Well, I knew you’d turn back to me eventually. Once you’ve had a sample, you can’t help but go for seconds. Or in this case, thirds.” Chuck gave her a cocky grin.
“Hmm, well, you do give out free samples. I thought it was about time I tried what everyone was raving about.”
“Yup. And now you’re hooked.”
“Whatever. It’s not like I enjoy keeping you from your hotel maids. They must miss you.”
Chuck laughed. “Yeah, I bet they were very disappointed this morning when they found out they actually had to clean.”
“It’s probably not their favourite activity,” Blair added. Chuck smiled at her. She smiled back.
“Thanks for making last night unforgettable,” Blair said, kissing his cheek.
“Well, I am extremely hard to forget.” Chuck grinned as B got out of bed. Getting dressed, she went to her purse and took out her cell phone. There was a text from last night.

Better find a computer soon, B. I’ve got a must-see video just for you. –GG

Sighing, Blair closed her phone.
“What?” Chuck asked, raising his head from the pillow to look at her.
“Nothing. Just a text from Gossip Girl.”
“What’s it say?”
“Something about a video. I don’t know.”
“That’s Gossip Girl. You never truly know.”
“Yup. I gotta get doing, though. I promised to have breakfast with Serena this morning. I’ll call you later.”
“Okay. Call me when you get home, and I’ll show up spontaneously. It’s what I do.”
“Well, it’s not very spontaneous if you tell me about it the day you do it.” Chuck looked at her. “Who said I was showing up today?” Blair rolled her eyes and headed for the door.
“But for you, I’ll make it today. I know you’ll just go insane if you can’t be with me for more than a few hours.”
Blair turned to look at him. “Please,” she said. “I just went without you for like, two whole days.”
“You had Nate to distract you. God, I hate that guy.”
“He’s your best friend,” Blair said, laughing.
“Yup, and he’s your newly-ex-boyfriend. And we’ve betrayed him forever.”
Blair grinned at him. “We’re so sinful.”
“Yes indeed. I almost feel… sorry, for Nate. Oh wait, never mind. That’s just the hangover.”
Laughing, Blair left the suite. Chuck was much more entertaining that Nate ever was. And she knew her relationship with his best friend was going to be very entertaining once N found out.
“Ah, the life of the rich and scandalous,” Blair said to herself as she exited the Palace and hailed a cab.
