Friendly Encounters-Chapter 1

Blair’s alarm clock rang and she reached with her hand to turn it off. But instead of getting up, she snuggled further down into her covers. Her alarm rang again, and she decided that it was time to get up if she didn’t want to be late for school.
She had a smile pasted on her face; everything was finally turning out right in her life. After a few rocky years of feeling misguided, she was feeling perfect. For starters, she was going out with the perfect guy. Nate Archibald. He had finally asked her out about three weeks ago, although she had been trying to land him for about six months.
Nate was the most popular boy in school and Blair felt like a princess when she was around him. They were going out on their first official date tonight, and she was stumped on what she should wear. She would have to ask her best friend to come over later and help her decide.
That was the other thing. Her best friend was none other than Chuck Bass. Chuck freaking Bass! They had been friends for years, and she could tell Chuck anything that her heart desired. He was also different with her.
Chuck was a notorious womanizer; he basically screwed every woman who had a pair of breasts. Then after he was done with that he discarded them. Chuck Bass didn’t form an attachment to any women. Blair was actually his only friend that was female. That made her feel special too, that he had chosen her friendship over everyone else.
She had to find him at school today, so he could help her choose what that perfect date outfit was to wear for Nate. He was after all male, and he would never lie to her even if he knew he was going to hurt her feelings.
Blair got up out of bed and went to go take a shower. Her thoughts turning to her boyfriend. Nate was her boyfriend. She got so excited thinking about Nate and the word boyfriend in the same sentence. She actually couldn’t wait for when it was time for them to be intimate. She would relish losing her virginity to Nate Archibald.
Blair toweled herself off when she came out of the shower and went to go dress. She put on her uniform and headed out the front door.

XOXO

It was lunch time. Blair was surrounded by her usual posse of girls, including Iz, Hazel, Penelope, and today even that desperate loser Serena. Serena was actually one of the most unpopular girls in school and Blair knew she would have to tell her to get lost. Yet again. They were eating their lunch in the courtyard, when Hazel asked her a question.
“So is tonight going to be the night?”
Blair looked over at her. “The night for what? Our first date?”
Hazel rolled her eyes, but it was Penelope who answered her. “No, Blair. The night for you and Nate to have sex.”
Blair whipped her head around so fast that she got a crick in her neck. “Sex? We haven’t even had our first official date yet. I don’t want to rush things. When it’s time, I’ll know.”
It was Iz who butted in with her opinion this time. “You should just get it over with, Blair. You’re eighteen. You must be the only virgin left in school.”
Blair let out a harsh laugh. “What about her?” She said waving her hand at Serena. “She’s got to be a virgin still, so I doubt that I’m the only one left. I just want it to be special, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
At her words, Serena put her head down. Blair looked at her in shock. “You’re not a virgin?”
She shook her head. “No. I lost mine about two years ago.” Blair couldn’t believe this, who in their right mind would have sex with Serena Van Der Woodsen?
Penelope let out a laugh. “See, Blair. You should take a hint from that creature you call a best friend. He must have fucked the whole Upper East Side.”
Blair turned her angry eyes on Penelope. “Leave Chuck out of this.” She said forcefully. “You don’t even know him. He’s a great person. And a better friend than you’ll ever be.”
Blair spotted Chuck across the courtyard, and quickly said goodbye to her so called friends. He was alone for once, which was a miracle. He usually always had a girl hanging all over him.
“Chuck. I am so glad to see you.” Blair said, as she gave him a quick hug.
He returned her hug and gave her a quick smile. The smiled he reserved only for her. “Hey, B. Would it be too cheesy to say I’m glad to see you too?”
She laughed. “I need your help with something.”
He quirked an eyebrow. “Okay. Is everything alright?”
Blair smiled to herself, Chuck was always so concerned about her. It made her feel good. “Everything’s fine, great in fact. I need you to come over to my place after school to help me decide what to wear for my date with Nate.”
“What do I look like, Blair? A guy, that’s right. You don’t ask your guy friends this. Maybe I have plans for this afternoon.”
She pursued her lips. “Please? I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Chuck really wanted to say no to her, but he knew he couldn’t. That was his problem, he could never say no to Blair. “Fine, but you owe me big time.”
“Thank you, Chuck.” Blair kissed him on the cheek.
He rolled his eyes at her, and then returned his attention to the brunette across the courtyard that had been trying to catch his eye. “She looks tasty. Right, B?” He wanted her approval.
Blair saw that he was leering at another woman. “Ugh, can’t you at least wait before you go leering at woman?”
Chuck just smirked at her, and she couldn’t help but smile back at him. “One of these days Chuck, you going to meet somebody that you really fall for and then you’ll be in trouble. You’re not always going to want to be such a pig.”
He touched her cheek tenderly. “That will never happen, Blair. You know I only have room for one girl in my life and that’s you. You’re my best friend and everyone comes in second too you.”
“Thanks, Bass. I only have room in my life for you too and of course Nate.”
Chuck frowned at this. “So you really like this Archibald?”
“You know I do, Chuck. I finally feel like everything is going right in my life.”
“Just be careful, Blair. If he ever hurts you, I’ll kill him.”
She grabbed his hand. “Thanks for being so protective, but there’s really no need to be. Nate’s a great guy, you should try and get to know him.”
“Sure.” Chuck told her, but only to humor her. Blair trotted off to her next class and waved goodbye to him.

XOXO
She was sitting in her chemistry class, bored out of her mind. I mean really, did anybody really care about elements, atoms, or stupid stuff like that? Her cell phone beeped. Blair discreetly took it out from under her skirt and saw that she had one new text message. It was from Chuck.

What time do you want me to come over, B?
Blair smiled to herself and texted Chuck back for him to come over around 5. That would give her plenty of time to get ready for her date with Nate. She was super excited and couldn’t wait for the day to come to a close.

XOXO
She was sitting down on her bed, when she saw Chuck waltz through the door. He sat down next to her. “Let’s get going here, Blair. Show me the choices so I can get out of here. I think that girl from school is just dying to sink her claws into me, and I want to go find her.”
Blair gazed at him sternly and he burst out laughing. She stuck her tongue out at him playfully, and got up to go try on her first outfit for him. “I’m down to two choices Chuck; I just need your opinion on which one looks better.” She said as she got up and went behind the screen that served as the barrier for Chuck not to see her naked.
“Okay, Blair. Let’s see what you got in store for Archibald tonight.”
She changed into the first outfit which consisted of a short plaid skirt and a very prim top with a cardigan. She stepped out from behind the screen and waited for Chuck’s approval.
“What do you think?”
He scanned his eyes back and forth over her body. “Umm, it’s okay. You look half sexy and then half like your grandmother with the cardigan. The skirt is very nice though, but I’m not crazy about the top. You can do better than that.”
Blair bit her lip, while she looked down at the ensemble she was wearing. “That bad, huh?”
He just shrugged his shoulders, but she knew he wasn’t crazy about what she was wearing.
“I know you’re going to like the next one, Chuck.” She said as she moved back behind the screen.
He leaned back against the bed with his trademark smirk in place. “Let’s see it then.”
She started to shed her clothes, and Chuck could see the outline of her body through the thin shield of the screen. He swallowed hard; he didn’t want to see Blair like this. But he had to admit that she had a perfect little body.
“Are you ready?” Her voice called out to him.
“Yeah.” He replied, his voice suddenly hoarse.
She stepped out from behind the screen, and he felt his mouth gape open. She looked fucking stunning. Blair saw his reaction and laughed, and then she twirled around for him.
She was wearing a skin tight red dress that hit right above her knee. A hint of cleavage showed and there was a black bow tied right underneath her breasts. Chuck felt his mouth water and he didn’t know why.
Blair went to stand next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. “So I gather by your reaction that you like it?”
His eyes skimmed her body once again. “It’s perfect. You look amazing.”
She smiled, but then pulled her face into a frown. “You don’t think it’s too much, do you?”
Chuck placed his hands on her hips. “It’s just right, Blair. I know that if I were your boyfriend, we wouldn’t even make it through dinner. The dress would be off as soon as I saw you.”
She laughed. “That’s exactly the reason we’re only friends, Chuck.”
He moved away from her. “Why? You don’t think I would be a good boyfriend?”
She had a surprised look on her face at his words. “You’re not boyfriend material for anyone, Chuck. I just don’t think that anyone would put up with your womanizing. But that’s not what you want anyways, so it’s all good.”
He didn’t say anything; he just stared down moodily at the floor. Chuck didn’t like how he was feeling at the moment, but Blair’s words had hurt him. He could by boyfriend material if he wanted to be.
“Thank you for helping me, Chuck. I appreciate it. Good luck with finding that brunette.”
“What?” He asked, confused about what she was talking about.
“What’s wrong with you? The girl in school today that you wanted to put the moves on. You said that you were going to go find her. Remember?” Blair looked worriedly at him.
Chuck shook his head, trying to get rid of his befuddled thoughts. “Right.”
She walked back towards him. “I’m going to get ready now, but thank you for your help again.”
Blair leaned down to kiss his cheek and her body brushed against his. Chuck felt electricity course through his body as her lips met his cheek and he felt her body. He had never felt such lust in his life, and it scared him. After all Blair was his friend.
Blair threw her arms around his neck and he felt the wave of electricity again. She waved goodbye to him and Chuck left her room. That was the first time he had felt desire for Blair Waldorf, but it certainly wouldn’t be the last.

To Be Continued.
