Friendly Encounters- Chapter Nine
“What’s phase two?”
He smirked. “Phase two is to see how much we are attracted to each other.”
She returned his smirk. “Don’t we already know that?”
Chuck placed his hand on her thigh. “We know that we want each other with a passion that is insane, that how crazy it is. But I want to find out how far we can go without stopping. Because if I stop you when we’re about to have sex, you know that means that I’m totally falling for you, Blair.”
His words melted her heart. “So, if we go back to your place and you don’t stop me that means that you’re just interested in sex and nothing more?”
“Exactly. I don’t even know how I feel about you right now that’s why I want to find out. Because I really don’t know if we can be anything other than friends.”
Blair pushed her hair off her face, which was a sign of her sudden nervousness. She was actually almost terrified because if he didn’t stop her and they made love that meant that he really didn’t care about anything other than sex. “If you really want too, then I’ll agree to it.”
He drank the rest of his drink and reached for her hand. “I think it would be best if we found out before we take this any further. This could solve a lot of problems, Blair.”
She gripped his hand tightly in her sweaty palm. “I guess you’re right. I am a little nervous about the outcome though.”
“I am too.”
“You are?” Blair questioned.
He smiled. “Yes, and you know I would never admit that to anybody but you.”
She stood up and dragged Chuck with her. “I guess we should go and find out our fate together.” She was hoping for the best. For once she was hoping that Chuck will stop her during sex.
XOXO
She stepped into Chuck’s suite at the plaza and remembered this was where all of their other sexual encounters had taken place. She excused herself so she could go and freshen up.
Blair walked into the spacious bathroom and sat down on the seat. She had never been so nervous in all of her life. What happened if they went and had sex? That would mean that Chuck didn’t want her enough to have a relationship with her. And their friendship would undeniable be broken and that was what she was scared most of. She never wanted to lose the friendship that she shared with him.
She almost wanted to flee from the scene and not look back. She wanted Chuck with all of her heart and she would just be crushed if he didn’t feel the same way about her. But Blair also knew that she had to try because it could either be the best thing that had ever happened to her or the worst. She was going to take her chances and damn the consequences.
She reached up and took her hair out of the bun she had been sporting. The waves cascaded over her shoulders; the way she knew Chuck liked it best. Next, she unzipped her dress and let it slide to the floor. She stood wearing only a bra and panties. She tried to gather up her courage and headed for the door back to Chuck.
He sat on the bed, waiting for her. When he saw her, his whole face lit up with unrestrained passion. “You-are-so-fucking-beautiful, that it makes me crazy.”
“In a good way?”
He walked over to her. “Most definitely in a good way. There is nobody better than you, Blair. And I want you to know that whatever happens that we will always be friends. Nothing will ever change that.”
Blair hung on to his every word. “Do you promise?”
He shook his head solemnly. “I do.”
“Okay.” She whispered.
He grabbed her face and held it in between his hands. “I hope this works out the way we both want it too.”
“So do I, Chuck.”
He looked into her eyes while he dipped his head and melded their lips together. Her lips parted instantly and he slid his tongue inside of her mouth. Their lips sipped at each other while their tongues dipped into every crevice, memorizing and making the other’s theirs.
His hands splayed across her back while Blair wound her arms around his neck. Chuck deepened the kiss and they fell back onto his bed. They took their time with each other and just kissed for a few minutes. But then their kisses turned hotter and there was a renewed urgency in them. His head dipped in between the swell of bra covered breasts. He kissed them each through the fabric.
“Chuck.” She moaned.
He raised his head. “Do you know when you say my name like that it’s so fucking sexy? I think it’s the sexiest sound I’ve ever heard.”
She shook her head to signify that she didn’t.
“It is. He unhooked her bra and let it slide to the floor. He sat entranced; he was seeing Blair’s bare breasts for the first time. And they were perfect in his opinion. He had fucked hundreds of women in his short lifetime but none of them had ever affected him like she had. If was enraptured by a pair of breasts, then he knew that there was something special between them.
“You’re perfect, B.” He kneaded her and bent down to take as nipple in his mouth. At the contact of his mouth with her bare flesh, her back immediately arched off of the bed and she buried her hands in his hair while he suckled her.
Chuck brought his mouth back to hers and they shared another brain searing kiss. She flipped him over so that she was sitting astride his chest. She grinned mischievously at him while she unbuttoned his shirt. “I’ve wanted to do this for weeks now.” She admitted.
Her admission surprised him. “Yeah?”
“More than anything.” She pushed the shirt off of his shoulders and combed her fingers through his silky chest hair. Chuck’s eyes closed at the feel of her small hands on his chest, so she figured that she was doing something right. She brought her mouth to one of his nipples and licked it. “Fuck.” He cursed.
“What’s wrong?” She was instantly alarmed that she had done something wrong.
“Nothing, you just make me feel like nobody has ever made me feel before.”
She knew what it had taken for him to just confess that to her, so she didn’t press him for anymore. They kissed again and everything turned hotter and faster. His pants and boxers came off as well as her panties. He touched her in between her legs and when he felt her dampness, he growled in approval.
They were about to have sex, that much Blair knew. And it made her heart plummet. She had wanted to be so much more than just another notch on his bedpost. But it looked like that was all she was going to be. But she was going to give him sex at least; she wanted to experience Chuck Bass in his finest hour. Hopefully she would be able to get through it.
Blair reached down to take a hold of his straining erection, but before she could get any further, he jumped out of the bed.
He sighed. “I can’t do it, Blair. I thought I would be able too but I just can’t. It’s much more than just sex to me. You’ve fucked me up good.”
She watched as he pulled his boxers back on before he sat on the bed. “Why are you so mad? Isn’t this what we wanted?”
He turned to look at her. “I don’t know what I wanted to happen actually. Sometimes I wish that I could go back to being the way I was before we started this whole thing. I’m not used to feeling like this.” He looked at her naked form and physically restrained himself from taking her right then and there. “You better get dressed and go.”
“Why?”
“I need to be alone for awhile and just think about what we’re doing here, Blair.”
Her temper exploded. “You know that you’re not the only one who’s scared of what you’re feeling! I’m terrified, but I’m not going to sit there like a baby and mope about it. Grow up Chuck and just face it. At least I know how I feel about you.”
“How do you feel about me?”
She shook her head while she got dressed. “I’m not going to tell you because you’ll just throw it back in my face. But let’s just say that my feelings for you are very strong and they’re not going to go away anytime soon.”
He went to put an arm around her shoulder, but then he remembered that he couldn’t do that because he couldn’t just touch her without taking it further. “This has just all hit me suddenly. I think I just realized how we could fuck everything up by taking it further.”
A thought occurred to Blair. “Is this about other women? Do you want somebody other than me?”
“This has nothing to do that. I’ve already told you that I don’t want anybody but you. I just need to think about everything before we take things further.”
Blair stood up and huffed over to the door. “Fine, you know where to find me when you decide what you want. Just remember that I will be there when you come to me. You’re the only one for me Chuck, and I think we both know that.” The door closed softly behind her.
Chuck pounded his fist against the wall until his knuckles had turned red. The reason he had flipped out wasn’t because he needed to think about things and decide if he wanted to take them further. It was because he had realized that he had fallen in love with Blair and there was nothing scarier than that. When had everything become so fucked up and how the hell had he fallen in love with his best friend?
XOXO
It was a new record. She hadn’t heard from Chuck in seven days. They had seen each other in school but neither of them had chosen to speak to the other. This was her main concern, that they would screw up their friendship and it looked like they had. He must have decided that he didn’t want her after all or he would have come to talk to her by now.
Blair missed the good old day of their friendship when they could talk to each other about anything and not be scared by the other’s reaction. But in a way, she didn’t want to go back to that either. She yearned for Chuck in a way that had nothing to do with friendship.
XOXO
“Why are we here, Chuck?”
He looked around the movie theater. “I thought you always wanted me to go with you to the movies and do things like that, that friends do together.”
She smiled at his naivety. “I meant why did you decide to come now with me to the movies when I’ve been begging you to for years? And what do you have against going to the movies?”
He shrugged. “Nothing really, it just seems like such a cliché thing to do. And everybody knows that I don’t do movies, it’s just like that.”
The movie started to play and they settled in to watch it. The movie theater was very crowded and basically ever seat was filled by someone. He was actually enjoying himself, although he would never admit that to anyone even Blair. They had such an easy friendship and that’s what he loved about her. He would never go to the movies for anyone but her. She could almost convince him to do anything for her.
As soon as the ending credits rolled, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see who was bothering him. He was a very attractive woman that he had never seen before.
“Chuck Bass?” She asked.
Maybe he was going to get lucky after all tonight. “Yeah?”
She took her purse which was by her side and wacked him over the head with it. “You bastard! You think that you can just have sex with me and then forget me?”
Oh shit. He must have fucked her, but he really didn’t recognize her. “Sorry, but didn’t you already know that was going to happen? I’m Chuck Bass.” He said it as though she should know better than to expect anything out of him.
His words angered the woman beyond belief. “I bet you don’t even remember my name, do you?” He didn’t answer and she slapped him hard across the face. “It’s Danielle, you son of a bitch!”
Chuck placed a hand on his cheek, which stung like anything. “What’s the matter with you? You’re one crazy bitch!”
Danielle had apparently had enough because she stormed away without another word. He turned to Blair to see that she was struggling to hold her laughter in. “Don’t you dare say one word.” He hissed.
She bit her lip to try to keep from laughing but she unsuccessful. “I’m sorry, Chuck. But you should have seen your face when she slapped you, you looked like you were ready to kill her and bury her body somewhere.”
He grabbed her hand and led her out of the movie theater. Once they were outside, he decided that his temper was under control enough that he could actually speak. “This is why I don’t go to the movies, Blair.”
XOXO
Blair went to go sit on the usual steps that she occupied. Serena met her there a couple of minutes later.
“Blair, are you okay?”
She turned to Serena and jumped, she didn’t even notice her come to sit down next to her. “No, everything has just gotten so screwed up lately.”
Serena looked at her with a sympathetic look on her face. “I’m sorry B. Do you want to talk about it?”
“No, that’s the last thing I want to do. Sometimes I really wish that things would go back to how they were before and everything wouldn’t be so complicated now.”
“Do you really?” Serena asked.
“No, I guess I don’t.” As miserable as she was right now, she would never want to go back to things how they were before. But not talking to Chuck was killing her inside, he was the person that she could go to for anything and not be judged. And now she couldn’t go to him because he didn’t want to talk to her and it was like she lost a little piece of herself.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, until Serena gathered up her courage and asked the thing she had wanted to for the past week. “I know now might not be the best time but are you sure you don’t mind if I ask Nate out?”
Blair toyed with the hem of her skirt. “Actually, this is probably the best time to talk about this. At least it will take my mind off of you know who. And like I told you before, I don’t care if you get together with Nate. We were always just friends; it was never anything more than that. So I don’t care.”
Serena breathed a sigh of relief. “Whew! I’m really glad to hear you say that. Because if you weren’t okay with it, I wouldn’t of gone after Nate. I would never risk our friendship for anything.”
Blair smiled through the tears in her eyes. “You don’t how happy it makes me to hear you say that, at least I have you. I really like I don’t have anyone to talk too.”
“You can tell me anything, Blair.”
“Thanks, S. Maybe later, right now everything is just hitting me and making me depressed. I can’t do it right now.”
Serena rubbed her back in a soothing gesture. “Whenever you’re ready, you don’t have to rush into it and talk. Just remember that I’m always going to be here for you.”
At Serena’s words, Blair’s restraint crumbled and the burst of tears came out. She remembered Chuck saying to her only a week and a half ago, that he would always be there for her and nothing would ever ruin their friendship. Well, that had turned out to be a fucking lie.
When her tears had finally run out, she was ashamed. “I’m sorry, Serena.”
“No problem. That’s what a friend is there for.”
She tried to get the topic off Chuck and back onto to Nate. “So do you think Nate likes you?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. I think he could, if he got to know me. I mean, we’re kind of similar with the problems with our parents. We would definitely have a lot in common.”
Blair smiled. It felt like the first time she had smiled in days. “Good luck.”
Serena returned the smile. “Thanks, and I want to give you a little piece of advice.”
She waited for whatever it was that Serena was about to tell her.
Don’t let Chuck Bass get the best of you because sooner or later he is going to come to his senses. Become unavoidable, so he knows what he’s missing out on. Throw yourself in front of his face and flirt with some guys in school that should really get him going.”
She pondered what Serena had just said, and decided that it was the perfect idea. Become unavoidable, she could easily do that. Chuck wasn’t going to know what hit him.
XOXO
Well so far her plan had been going abysmal. She pranced herself in front of Chuck and waited for him to fall for it hook, line, and sinker. But it never happened. Whatever she did, he just seemed to ignore her. And Blair didn’t like being ignored. So she decided that it was time to go all out and screw whatever he thought of her.
During lunchtime, she saw him leaning against a tree. She walked over to where she would be in his vicinity and he would overhear her conversation but that it wasn’t so obvious of what she was trying to do.
Andrew Tyler came up to her. He was a lacrosse player and had been trying to score a date with her for months. She saw that Chuck’s eyes had lighted on her instantly and his nostrils flared with what she hoped was jealously.
Blair talked to him for awhile and flirted with Andrew, all the while Chuck was watching her with narrowed eyes. She knew it wasn’t fair to do this to poor Andrew, but she had to find a way to get to Chuck. She went in for the kill, she touched his arm and Andrew took that as a sign that she wanted him and leant in to kiss her.
Chuck couldn’t take anymore and stormed over to them and ripped the Tyler guy off of Blair. His body burned with jealousy when he had seen him kiss Blair. He felt a possessive urge that screamed that she was his and nobody else’s.
“Get the fuck off of her.” He snarled.
Andrew didn’t wait around to be told twice, he didn’t want to upset the wrath of Chuck Bass.
Once they were alone, he grabbed her upper arm in his strong grip. “What the fuck was that? Are you already moving on to somebody else?” The jealousy was coming off of his body in waves.
Blair was shocked at his reaction, she had never expected him to come over and wrestle Andrew off of her. His jealousy thrilled her. “I’m moving on with my life, Chuck. You obviously don’t want me so I guess it’s time to move on.”
“The fuck I don’t.” He hissed as his mouth came down hard on hers. Her lips parted and his tongue plundered the inside of her mouth. He gripped her waist tightly and brought her against his body. He lifted his mouth off of hers. “Does that prove how much I want you?”
Holy shit. He had just kissed her in front of the entire school. Blair looked around the courtyard and sure enough everyone was watching them with their mouths gaping open. She couldn’t help the shit eating grin that spread across her face. “You still do care about me then?”
He shook his head in amazement. “How could you think I didn’t?”
“You haven’t talked to me in about two weeks, Chuck. What was I supposed to think?”
He had the chagrin to look guilty. “Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I was just totally freaked out by my feelings for you and I still am. The thing that scares me the most is that I want you like I’ve never wanted anyone. It’s not just the sex or I would have fucked you already and we could go back to just being friends. This is a whole new feeling for me. I want to spend all my time with you and get to know you even better than I already do. I want to be your boyfriend, Blair.”
Her heart almost leapt out of her chest at his words. “Well that’s good Chuck, because I want to be your girlfriend too. The feelings scare me too, but we just have to take it one day at a time. I don’t want to lose what we have right now.”
He smiled at her words and knew that she was right. He kissed her again.
When they finally broke apart, they were both breathing heavily. “Everybody saw us make out.” She said.
“So what?”
She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck while his arms returned to his waist. “So, what happens now?”
He smirked. “I think it’s about time we went out a date.”
To Be Continued…

“What’s phase two?”
He smirked. “Phase two is to see how much we are attracted to each other.”
She returned his smirk. “Don’t we already know that?”
Chuck placed his hand on her thigh. “We know that we want each other with a passion that is insane, that how crazy it is. But I want to find out how far we can go without stopping. Because if I stop you when we’re about to have sex, you know that means that I’m totally falling for you, Blair.”
His words melted her heart. “So, if we go back to your place and you don’t stop me that means that you’re just interested in sex and nothing more?”
“Exactly. I don’t even know how I feel about you right now that’s why I want to find out. Because I really don’t know if we can be anything other than friends.”
Blair pushed her hair off her face, which was a sign of her sudden nervousness. She was actually almost terrified because if he didn’t stop her and they made love that meant that he really didn’t care about anything other than sex. “If you really want too, then I’ll agree to it.”
He drank the rest of his drink and reached for her hand. “I think it would be best if we found out before we take this any further. This could solve a lot of problems, Blair.”
She gripped his hand tightly in her sweaty palm. “I guess you’re right. I am a little nervous about the outcome though.”
“I am too.”
“You are?” Blair questioned.
He smiled. “Yes, and you know I would never admit that to anybody but you.”
She stood up and dragged Chuck with her. “I guess we should go and find out our fate together.” She was hoping for the best. For once she was hoping that Chuck will stop her during sex.

She stepped into Chuck’s suite at the plaza and remembered this was where all of their other sexual encounters had taken place. She excused herself so she could go and freshen up.
Blair walked into the spacious bathroom and sat down on the seat. She had never been so nervous in all of her life. What happened if they went and had sex? That would mean that Chuck didn’t want her enough to have a relationship with her. And their friendship would undeniable be broken and that was what she was scared most of. She never wanted to lose the friendship that she shared with him.
She almost wanted to flee from the scene and not look back. She wanted Chuck with all of her heart and she would just be crushed if he didn’t feel the same way about her.

“In a good way?”
He walked over to her. “Most definitely in a good way. There is nobody better than you, Blair. And I want you to know that whatever happens that we will always be friends. Nothing will ever change that.”
Blair hung on to his every word. “Do you promise?”

Danielle had apparently had enough because she stormed away without another word. He turned to Blair to see that she was struggling to hold her laughter in. “Don’t you dare say one word.” He hissed.
She bit her lip to try to keep from laughing but she unsuccessful. “I’m sorry, Chuck. But you should have seen your face when she slapped you, you looked like you were ready to kill her and bury her body somewhere.”

Blair went to go sit on the usual steps that she occupied. Serena met her there a couple of minutes later.
“Blair, are you okay?”
She turned to Serena and jumped, she didn’t even notice her come to sit down next to her. “No, everything has just gotten so screwed up lately.”
Serena looked at her with a sympathetic look on her face. “I’m sorry B. Do you want to talk about it?”
“No, that’s the last thing I want to do. Sometimes I really wish that things would go back to how they were before and everything wouldn’t be so complicated now.”
“Do you really?” Serena asked.
“No, I guess I don’t.” As miserable as she was right now, she would never want to go back to things how they were before. But not talking to Chuck was killing her inside, he was the person that she could go to for anything and not be judged. And now she couldn’t go to him because he didn’t want to talk to her and it was like she lost a little piece of herself.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, until Serena gathered up her courage and asked the thing she had wanted to for the past week. “I know now might not be the best time but are you sure you don’t mind if I ask Nate out?”
Blair toyed with the hem of her skirt. “Actually, this is probably the best time to talk about this. At least it will take my mind off of you know who. And like I told you before, I don’t care if you get together with Nate. We were always just friends; it was never anything more than that. So I don’t care.”
Serena breathed a sigh of relief. “Whew! I’m really glad to hear you say that. Because if you weren’t okay with it, I wouldn’t of gone after Nate. I would never risk our friendship for anything.”
Blair smiled through the tears in her eyes. “You don’t how happy it makes me to hear you say that, at least I have you. I really like I don’t have anyone to talk too.”
“You can tell me anything, Blair.”
“Thanks, S. Maybe later, right now everything is just hitting me and making me depressed. I can’t do it right now.”
Serena rubbed her back in a soothing gesture. “Whenever you’re ready, you don’t have to rush into it and talk. Just remember that I’m always going to be here for you.”
At Serena’s words, Blair’s restraint crumbled and the burst of tears came out. She remembered Chuck saying to her only a week and a half ago, that he would always be there for her and nothing would ever ruin their friendship. Well, that had turned out to be a fucking lie.
When her tears had finally run out, she was ashamed. “I’m sorry, Serena.”
“No problem. That’s what a friend is there for.”
She tried to get the topic off Chuck and back onto to Nate. “So do you think Nate likes you?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. I think he could, if he got to know me. I mean, we’re kind of similar with the problems with our parents. We would definitely have a lot in common.”
Blair smiled. It felt like the first time she had smiled in days. “Good luck.”
Serena returned the smile. “Thanks, and I want to give you a little piece of advice.”
She waited for whatever it was that Serena was about to tell her.
Don’t let Chuck Bass get the best of you because sooner or later he is going to come to his senses. Become unavoidable, so he knows what he’s missing out on. Throw yourself in front of his face and flirt with some guys in school that should really get him going.”
She pondered what Serena had just said, and decided that it was the perfect idea. Become unavoidable, she could easily do that. Chuck wasn’t going to know what hit him.
XOXO
Well so far her plan had been going abysmal. She pranced herself in front of Chuck and waited for him to fall for it hook, line, and sinker. But it never happened. Whatever she did, he just seemed to ignore her. And Blair didn’t like being ignored. So she decided that it was time to go all out and screw whatever he thought of her.
During lunchtime, she saw him leaning against a tree. She walked over to where she would be in his vicinity and he would overhear her conversation but that it wasn’t so obvious of what she was trying to do.
Andrew Tyler came up to her. He was a lacrosse player and had been trying to score a date with her for months. She saw that Chuck’s eyes had lighted on her instantly and his nostrils flared with what she hoped was jealously.
Blair talked to him for awhile and flirted with Andrew, all the while Chuck was watching her with narrowed eyes. She knew it wasn’t fair to do this to poor Andrew, but she had to find a way to get to Chuck. She went in for the kill, she touched his arm and Andrew took that as a sign that she wanted him and leant in to kiss her.
Chuck couldn’t take anymore and stormed over to them and ripped the Tyler guy off of Blair. His body burned with jealousy when he had seen him kiss Blair. He felt a possessive urge that screamed that she was his and nobody else’s.
“Get the fuck off of her.” He snarled.
Andrew didn’t wait around to be told twice, he didn’t want to upset the wrath of Chuck Bass.
Once they were alone, he grabbed her upper arm in his strong grip. “What the fuck was that? Are you already moving on to somebody else?” The jealousy was coming off of his body in waves.
Blair was shocked at his reaction, she had never expected him to come over and wrestle Andrew off of her. His jealousy thrilled her. “I’m moving on with my life, Chuck. You obviously don’t want me so I guess it’s time to move on.”
“The fuck I don’t.” He hissed as his mouth came down hard on hers. Her lips parted and his tongue plundered the inside of her mouth. He gripped her waist tightly and brought her against his body. He lifted his mouth off of hers. “Does that prove how much I want you?”
Holy shit. He had just kissed her in front of the entire school. Blair looked around the courtyard and sure enough everyone was watching them with their mouths gaping open. She couldn’t help the shit eating grin that spread across her face. “You still do care about me then?”
He shook his head in amazement. “How could you think I didn’t?”
“You haven’t talked to me in about two weeks, Chuck. What was I supposed to think?”
He had the chagrin to look guilty. “Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I was just totally freaked out by my feelings for you and I still am. The thing that scares me the most is that I want you like I’ve never wanted anyone. It’s not just the sex or I would have fucked you already and we could go back to just being friends. This is a whole new feeling for me. I want to spend all my time with you and get to know you even better than I already do. I want to be your boyfriend, Blair.”
Her heart almost leapt out of her chest at his words. “Well that’s good Chuck, because I want to be your girlfriend too. The feelings scare me too, but we just have to take it one day at a time. I don’t want to lose what we have right now.”
He smiled at her words and knew that she was right. He kissed her again.
When they finally broke apart, they were both breathing heavily. “Everybody saw us make out.” She said.
“So what?”
She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck while his arms returned to his waist. “So, what happens now?”
He smirked. “I think it’s about time we went out a date.”
