Blair makes her way to meet Serena.
She lets herself in and the door closes behind her and is locked. Key removed.
B: You! What are wewe doing! (attempts to open door but is grabbed kwa Chuck!) Let....GO!
C: SShhhh, it's locked, i have the key.
B: I dont want to speak to wewe Chuck! what do wewe want! ......
where's serena? she told me to meet....Oh...clever...so now you're sneaking around scheming with my best friend...
C: Well i'd rather scheme with you, but wewe dont give me a chance...
B: After the way wewe treat me....
C: Thats the reason i called....well....tricked wewe into coming here.
B: I told wewe im not interested in anything wewe have to say....What's.....that? (looking at a blood red rose in his hand)
C: The begining of an apology...? (hands out the rose to her)
B: (doesn't take it) I dont wanna hear your meaningless dramatics.
C: It's not drama....i swear.
B: Then what is it.
C: It's a rose. I wanted to...(interrupted)
B: Not that! im talking about this! why have wewe called me here? what do wewe want?
C: Something i've.....never asked for before.......Forgiveness.
B: wewe don't deserve it....you can't just fix things so easily!....i wanna make sure wewe feel the way i felt when wewe alisema those things!
C: (looks away...clearly disheartened) .....(turns back to Blair and walks closer to her) Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it forgoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury..
B: (in two minds, looks hurt) wewe can make up a quarrel Chuck.....but it will always onyesha where it was patched.
C: It wont be like that (holds onto her)....
B: wewe used me....you admitted to that...remember...conquering the unconquered...
C: I didn't mean it...
B: wewe must have had a right laugh....Blair Waldorf...loses her virginity with Chuck Bass...a great headline and wewe take all the credit.
C: No...
B: Yes! wewe played a game and wewe won....you fooled me...well fool no more...i'm not going to be a victim anymore...
C: Just listen to me....
B: I've listened enough...i might be naive but i wont let wewe drag me down again...it's over chuck...what ever it was...it's over...(breaks free of his grasp)
C: (contemplates giving up kwa turning away from her to let her go)
B: (turns door handle) I...need the key.
C: (turns towards her...gets the key out of his pocket...looks at it and then at her as she puts her hand out to take key) I made one mistake Blair.
B: One! huh! ....just give me the key!
C: The old Chuck wouldn't care....he'd let wewe walk away...in fact he wouldn't have called wewe here in the first place...he wouldn't have gone into a public store to buy wewe a rose....don't wewe see...?
B: I .....I need the key.
C: The fact that i called wewe here to apologise...isn't that enough for wewe to see that i'm being genuine....? do wewe really think i'd go through all this trouble if i was using you...if i didnt regret the things i said...which kwa the way i didnt even mean in the first place.
B: Why would wewe say something if wewe don't mean it?
C: For the same reason wewe always say wewe hate me.
B: No, believe me, i do mean that.
C: (walks close to her again and puts the key back in his pocket) No.....you dont....(strokes her hair) the things i said...i dont know where it all came from...
B: from the bottom of your heart.
C: No, blair....i just alisema the things that i knew would hurt you...i didnt mean any of it...
B: And why did wewe want to hurt me? what terrible thing did i do to wewe to deserve such an insult?!
C: wewe changed me....over night.
B: Don't make me laugh! wewe can never change!
C: Maybe wewe dont see it...i dont blame you...neither did i. I thought she was just trying to brainwash me...
B: who?
C: But maybe she was right (referring to serena but doesnt say her name)....maybe she did see something good in me...something wewe brought out of me...and me...i dont like change.... i couldn't let wewe change me...when wewe got close...i had to get out...thats why i alisema those things to drive wewe away.
B: When did we ever get close Chuck...!
C: We would have.....if we realised how we felt....
B: ........and....how do we....feel?
C: (lets go of her, it gets really intense, both are clearly close to tears) I just want wewe to forgive me. i want wewe to know that i didnt mean the things that i said...none of it was true....i didnt use you...the things i alisema about nate and serena...it doesnt reflect what i really think about that situation...you're better than her and Nate was a fool to ever let wewe go...and that night...i didnt sleep with wewe just to be your first...i did it because....it was you....you are special...and...i had the time of my life. and i'd like it if we could just start over? well not from the begining but...maybe from after...that night? just give me a chance to prove myself. (takes the key out of his pocket and hands it to her, hoping that she wont open door and will willingly stay in the room and accept his forgiveness)
B: (takes key and opens door!) I need to think, alone.
Blair walks away leaving Chuck in the room.
Gossip Girl: # Ouch! Is that tears in your eyes Bass? Looks like someone just got a taste of their own medicine! But dont be too gutted, Queen Bee just needs some time, and swarming season isn't yet due! #
Later on that day.
Serena and Blair catch taxi, to go shopping.
In taxi.
S: hujambo im sorry about lunch, tricking wewe into talking to chuck...he really wanted me to do him a favour...i couldn't say no...it was for your own good.
B: Forget about it...i guess i needed to hear him grovell anyway! (laughs)
S: Wow Chuck grovelled!
B: Well he didnt beg for mercy but he did make an attempt on an apology.
S: Aaaaw thats so sweet! Definately not like Chuck to ask for forgiveness! wewe did make up didnt you?
B: No, im not sure if he deserves it.
S: Aaaw B! wewe have to forgive him! Not cuz wewe have to...but just because wewe need to...it was sweet of him to apologise the way he did...dont make him sweat!
B: Maybe he needs to...at least it'll make him realise that wewe can't just go around insulting people like that!
S: B im sure he realises his mistake...otherwise he wouldnt have apologised....trust me...it took a lot for him to do that. just, give him a sekunde chance.
B: I dunno....i don't want him to think he can get away with things just kwa saying sorry...not that he actually alisema the word sorry!!
S: Aaaaw...comon B...it's sweet....so what if he didn't say the "sorry" word, he still apologised didn't he...what exactly did he say then...?
B: A load of stuff....actually what he alisema was better than saying the "sorry" word....
S: Well there wewe go then...the word sorry doesn't mean anything anyway unless wewe fully admit the mistake wewe made and ask for forgiveness and thats what he did....and did he tell wewe how he didnt mean the things he said...?
B: Yeh.
S: And do wewe believe him?
B: I think so...i guess i understand his justification....he alisema he wanted to hurt me to drive me away...so we....wouldn't get close...because he didn't want me to change him.
S: Aaaaaw, now...isn't that basically what i said!! i told wewe to trust me!! He obviously saw something in wewe and he was afraid that he'd develop feelings for wewe and he wasn't ready for that so he tried to drive wewe away....and now that he's admitted that to wewe and he doesn't want to lose you....just forgive him and songesha on...otherwise you'll end up losing each other...which is what he's trying to avoid in the first place.
B: I hardly know him....
S: (holds blairs hand) Then get to know him...i'll be there for wewe the whole way through....if anything goes wrong i'l fix it for you...i owe wewe that much...i swear...look..you and chuck are a lot zaidi alike than you'd think...you both cant admit to wewe feelings and wewe both cant open up to eachother....thats whats got wewe here...the arguments, misunderstandings...it's all because of the fact that you're both too stubborn and proud for you're own good, but i can tell how wewe both feel.....and if wewe need me to mediate for wewe like i have been doing then i'll do it if thats what it takes....but wewe guys just need to learn to trust eachother...be honest and open about your feelings.
B: Serena...lets just take this one step at a time ok... wewe sometimes read too much into things..me and chuck...we're hardly friends....
S: And there wewe go again...denial.
B: (laughs)
S: (laughs too)
Somewhere in NYC.
Serena and Blair are together.
Chuck's Limo approaches and the window slides down.
Serena and Blair stop kwa Limo.
C: Ladies....looking gorgeous as usual. retail therapy?
S: Hi, Chuck....do wewe kwa any chance live in that limo....you spend a lot of time in there...it must be really tight in there dont wewe get lonely....
C: Actually it's quite spacious in here... wewe can both jiunge me if wewe like....but if wewe cant serena thats fine kwa me...im sure blair wont mind coming in without you...? (cheeky grin on his face)
S: Actually we're going to try our dresses on...to decide what to wear tonight...
C: Whats tonight?
B: There's an exhibition at the Gallery...im sure you've heard...your father owns it!?
C: Oh that....i dint realise wewe liked art...?
B: It's an occasion...i like attending such things, whether it's art au just an opening of a whore joint.
C: (smiles) Well i'll see wewe there then.
B: You're going? I didnt realise wewe liked art...?
C: It's not the art i'll be admiring (looks blair up and down...slowly untill looking her back in the eyes and grinning)
Blair gets slightly embarrased
B: (drags Serena away) ye, see wewe there...comon S let's go.
C: (shouts after her) Wear something red....that colour suits you.
Blair looks back at him and then away again.
S: Wow...i almost felt out of place during that round of flirting...
B: Flirting?! What are wewe on about there was no flirting...!
S: Really....cuz it sounded like flirting to me...!
B: Hush S, he may have been trying to charm me but im not falling for it!
S: Mmmmmhummm, ok.. denial....again....just...wear the red dress wewe brought ok.
B: S! no! im binning that one for sure!
S: Well...dont wewe think it's a coincedence that your inayopendelewa dress wewe chose just happens to be the colour he likes to see wewe in? comon thats some major deal ok...he practically asks wewe to get in the limo with him in other words asks wewe out, and wewe didnt pick up on that and then he says he'l only be interesed in looking at wewe tonight and then he even tells wewe what to wear in order to satisfy him and your not gonna follow through on that?
B: He's just messing around. if he wanted to ask me out he would.
S: No, he wouldn't, he's not that kind of guy...
B: Well if a guy wants me, all he has to do is ask...if he can't do that, then he's not man enough.
S: All i'm saying is, with chuck...things wont be kwa the book. ok, he's gonna have to change for wewe and you'l have to change for him....just dont wait for him to do what a normal guy would do...you know, like "oh blair i really like you, i want you, will wewe be my girlfriend"! chuck wouldnt do that kind of thing. if wewe wait too long...
B: Let's just go to my place and try these on ok.
They walk away. blair has a slight smile on her face from thinking about chucks flirting!
Later that day.
At the Gallery Exhibition.
Enter Serena and Blair.
Serea dressed in a white dress with a silver embroidered juu half. hair left out wavy.
Blair in a reddish maroon sleeveless dress with diamante embroidery on juu half. Hair curled with maroon diamante headband.
They both look around the gallery and then go to an area where a temporary bar has been set up for the event.
Chuck sits at bar, wearing black 4 piece suit. maroon bowtie. takes a sip of drink before laying eyes on blair.
they make ey contact for a moment before chuck stands up and looks blair up and down and back into her eyes, they both smile as he approaches her.
Serena tells blair she's going to look for Dan just before chuck walks up to them.
S: Hi, chuck...you look smart!
C: thankyou...you dont look to bad yourself (still looking at blair)
S: Ok then...im just going to go look for dan, i'll catch up with wewe guys later.
Serena walks away. chuck moves closer to Blair.
C: wewe look....lovely.
B: Thank you....you look ....uummm (gets embarrased and looks down)

B: it's maroon...
C: ......Do wewe wanna look around.
B: Me and serena already have.
C: Then let me buy wewe a drink.
He leads her to the bar.
They sit inayofuata to eahother, facing eachother at the counter.
Chuck Orders drinks for them.
C: Do wewe like any of the pieces?
B: Ummm it's not really my knid of thing...art...i can understand why people see beauty in art though.
C: Ye? ( takes a sip of drink) i have to say....theres only one entity of beauty in this place...and im not taking about art.
B: What is?...show me...
C: (looks into her eyes) something wewe could only see in a reflection...
Blair blushes and smiles chuck smiles back
Short silence, as they drink.
B: Actually when me and Serena walked in i saw this amazing painting...i dont know what it was but it had every shade of purple...it was amazing, massive! But it's not for sale though...otherwise Serena alisema she would have brought it for me cuz i alisema i would upendo to wake up every morning and like see it on my ukuta au ceilling au something! it was gorgeous!
C: Are wewe doing anything tonight?
B: .....(short silence) No....(another short silence) ....are wewe doing anything.
C: No (wants to ask her out...but doesnt know how!!!)
B: Well are going to make any plans? (waiting for him to ask her out...!!! )
C: Ummm...well...i dunno....
B: (angry at the fact that he hasn't got the balls to ask her out!) excuse me. (gets up and walks away)
Chuck watches her go, thinking he'l try again later on.
Serena passes kwa the bar and notices chuck alone.
S: hujambo chuck...alone?
C: What do wewe want?
S: Whats wrong? Wheres Blair...i thought she was here... with you?
C: She was here...somewhere (they both look around)

C: Serena wait....
S: Ye?
C: Say if i wanted to get a girl to go....well....to wewe know...hang out with me ....tonight...how would wewe suggest i pose the idea to her?

C: Well wewe know her better than i do.
S: (stops laughing and looks serious) Ok, Chuck....here's the thing....if wewe want to ask her out...do it your way...she likes who wewe are....otherwise she wouldn't....you know....bother. Just do it soon ok...before wewe lose your chance.
C: I dont know how....not with her. it's different.
S: I know Chuck...but trust me the way wewe tell her how wewe feel is not as important as telling her. so just tell her already!
C: I think she may have left.
S: No, she wouldnt without telling me, i'll look for her...
C: Thanks....for helping.
S: (nudges him) Dont worry about it!
Serena finds blair, who is talking to a guy, it seems like the guy is flirting with blair...
S: Hi,....Blair...could i just speak with wewe for a sec? (smiles at guy, who walks away from them)
B: Whats up S?
S: Who's he?
B: Oh, him...his name is Samuel. isn't he cute!
S: Ummm the last time i saw you, wewe were with Chuck...remember him?
B: Ye i remember! He's....boring! Samuel is going to take me out tonight!
S: What? What about chuck...i thought wewe guys were trying to work things out?
B: Work things out! if he wanted me all he had to do is ask! im not interested in playing his...guessing games!!
S: B? Im sure if wewe go speak with him...he might have something to say...?
B: No! If he cant make an effort why should I! Anyway...we're just friends....if even that!
S: B?...
Blair walks away towards Samuel who puts his arm around her. and they walk off.
Serena watches after them...
Chuck is standing with a drink.
Blair and the new guy walk past.
Chuck quickly intercepts and grabs Blairs arm...
C: Blair...
B: What!
C: What are wewe doing?......who's....he? (referring to samuel, who joins the conversation, putting out his hand for a shake)
Sam: Hi, Im samuel....you are?
C: (thinks he's too good to respond and instead looks to blair) Where are wewe going....i....need to...can we talk in private?
B: I'm busy....sammuel is taking me out tonight (then whispers to chuck) atleast someone was man enough to ask me out.
Blair storms off with samuel, leaving Chuck alone.
Later...Serena approaches Chuck...
S: hujambo have wewe seen Blair yet?
C: She's gone...she was with ....some guy.
S: Oh Blair! Chuck wewe should have done something!
C: Like what! She was ...leaving with him.
S: wewe could have stopped her! All wewe had to do was ask her to stay....with you.
C: Really, while she's hanging off another guys arm...i don't think so.
S: Look, i told wewe that if wewe took too long, you'd lose your chance....you shouldn't let anything stop you...chuck...she should be here....with us...not some stranger...we dont even know that guy...he could be a psycho rapist au something...!
C: Oh, ye that makes me feel much better....
S: Look wewe have her number don't you....do something.

B: No, im not sure if he deserves it.
S: Aaaw B! wewe have to forgive him! Not cuz wewe have to...but just because wewe need to...it was sweet of him to apologise the way he did...dont make him sweat!
B: Maybe he needs to...at least it'll make him realise that wewe can't just go around insulting people like that!
S: B im sure he realises his mistake...otherwise he wouldnt have apologised....trust me...it took a lot for him to do that. just, give him a sekunde chance.
B: I dunno....i don't want him to think he can get away with things just kwa saying sorry...not that he actually alisema the word sorry!!
S: Aaaaw...comon B...it's sweet....so what if he didn't say the "sorry" word, he still apologised didn't he...what exactly did he say then...?
B: A load of stuff....actually what he alisema was better than saying the "sorry" word....
S: Well there wewe go then...the word sorry doesn't mean anything anyway unless wewe fully admit the mistake wewe made and ask for forgiveness and thats what he did....and did he tell wewe how he didnt mean the things he said...?
B: Yeh.
S: And do wewe believe him?
B: I think so...i guess i understand his justification....he alisema he wanted to hurt me to drive me away...so we....wouldn't get close...because he didn't want me to change him.
S: Aaaaaw, now...isn't that basically what i said!! i told wewe to trust me!! He obviously saw something in wewe and he was afraid that he'd develop feelings for wewe and he wasn't ready for that so he tried to drive wewe away....and now that he's admitted that to wewe and he doesn't want to lose you....just forgive him and songesha on...otherwise you'll end up losing each other...which is what he's trying to avoid in the first place.
B: I hardly know him....
S: (holds blairs hand) Then get to know him...i'll be there for wewe the whole way through....if anything goes wrong i'l fix it for you...i owe wewe that much...i swear...look..you and chuck are a lot zaidi alike than you'd think...you both cant admit to wewe feelings and wewe both cant open up to eachother....thats whats got wewe here...the arguments, misunderstandings...it's all because of the fact that you're both too stubborn and proud for you're own good, but i can tell how wewe both feel.....and if wewe need me to mediate for wewe like i have been doing then i'll do it if thats what it takes....but wewe guys just need to learn to trust eachother...be honest and open about your feelings.
B: Serena...lets just take this one step at a time ok... wewe sometimes read too much into things..me and chuck...we're hardly friends....
S: And there wewe go again...denial.
B: (laughs)
S: (laughs too)
Somewhere in NYC.
Serena and Blair are together.
Chuck's Limo approaches and the window slides down.
Serena and Blair stop kwa Limo.
C: Ladies....looking gorgeous as usual. retail therapy?
S: Hi, Chuck....do wewe kwa any chance live in that limo....you spend a lot of time in there...it must be really tight in there dont wewe get lonely....
C: Actually it's quite spacious in here... wewe can both jiunge me if wewe like....but if wewe cant serena thats fine kwa me...im sure blair wont mind coming in without you...? (cheeky grin on his face)
S: Actually we're going to try our dresses on...to decide what to wear tonight...
C: Whats tonight?
B: There's an exhibition at the Gallery...im sure you've heard...your father owns it!?
C: Oh that....i dint realise wewe liked art...?
B: It's an occasion...i like attending such things, whether it's art au just an opening of a whore joint.
C: (smiles) Well i'll see wewe there then.
B: You're going? I didnt realise wewe liked art...?
C: It's not the art i'll be admiring (looks blair up and down...slowly untill looking her back in the eyes and grinning)
Blair gets slightly embarrased
B: (drags Serena away) ye, see wewe there...comon S let's go.
C: (shouts after her) Wear something red....that colour suits you.
Blair looks back at him and then away again.
S: Wow...i almost felt out of place during that round of flirting...
B: Flirting?! What are wewe on about there was no flirting...!
S: Really....cuz it sounded like flirting to me...!
B: Hush S, he may have been trying to charm me but im not falling for it!
S: Mmmmmhummm, ok.. denial....again....just...wear the red dress wewe brought ok.
B: S! no! im binning that one for sure!
S: Well...dont wewe think it's a coincedence that your inayopendelewa dress wewe chose just happens to be the colour he likes to see wewe in? comon thats some major deal ok...he practically asks wewe to get in the limo with him in other words asks wewe out, and wewe didnt pick up on that and then he says he'l only be interesed in looking at wewe tonight and then he even tells wewe what to wear in order to satisfy him and your not gonna follow through on that?
B: He's just messing around. if he wanted to ask me out he would.
S: No, he wouldn't, he's not that kind of guy...
B: Well if a guy wants me, all he has to do is ask...if he can't do that, then he's not man enough.
S: All i'm saying is, with chuck...things wont be kwa the book. ok, he's gonna have to change for wewe and you'l have to change for him....just dont wait for him to do what a normal guy would do...you know, like "oh blair i really like you, i want you, will wewe be my girlfriend"! chuck wouldnt do that kind of thing. if wewe wait too long...
B: Let's just go to my place and try these on ok.
They walk away. blair has a slight smile on her face from thinking about chucks flirting!
Later that day.

Chuck sits at bar, wearing black 4 piece suit. maroon bowtie. takes a sip of drink before laying eyes on blair.
they make ey contact for a moment before chuck stands up and looks blair up and down and back into her eyes, they both smile as he approaches her.
Serena tells blair she's going to look for Dan just before chuck walks up to them.
S: Hi, chuck...you look smart!
C: thankyou...you dont look to bad yourself (still looking at blair)
S: Ok then...im just going to go look for dan, i'll catch up with wewe guys later.

C: Ummm...well...i dunno....
B: (angry at the fact that he hasn't got the balls to ask her out!) excuse me. (gets up and walks away)
Chuck watches her go, thinking he'l try again later on.
Serena passes kwa the bar and notices chuck alone.

C: I dont know how....not with her. it's different.
S: I know Chuck...but trust me the way wewe tell her how wewe feel is not as important as telling her. so just tell her already!
C: I think she may have left.
S: No, she wouldnt without telling me, i'll look for her...
C: Thanks....for helping.
S: (nudges him) Dont worry about it!
Serena finds blair, who is talking to a guy, it seems like the guy is flirting with blair...
S: Hi,....Blair...could i just speak with wewe for a sec? (smiles at guy, who walks away from them)
B: Whats up S?
S: Who's he?
B: Oh, him...his name is Samuel. isn't he cute!
S: Ummm the last time i saw you, wewe were with Chuck...remember him?
B: Ye i remember! He's....boring! Samuel is going to take me out tonight!
S: What? What about chuck...i thought wewe guys were trying to work things out?
B: Work things out! if he wanted me all he had to do is ask! im not interested in playing his...guessing games!!
S: B? Im sure if wewe go speak with him...he might have something to say...?
B: No! If he cant make an effort why should I! Anyway...we're just friends....if even that!
S: B?...
Blair walks away towards Samuel who puts his arm around her. and they walk off.
Serena watches after them...
Chuck is standing with a drink.
Blair and the new guy walk past.
Chuck quickly intercepts and grabs Blairs arm...
C: Blair...
B: What!
C: What are wewe doing?......who's....he? (referring to samuel, who joins the conversation, putting out his hand for a shake)
Sam: Hi, Im samuel....you are?

B: I'm busy....sammuel is taking me out tonight (then whispers to chuck) atleast someone was man enough to ask me out.

S: Oh Blair! Chuck wewe should have done something!
C: Like what! She was ...leaving with him.
S: wewe could have stopped her! All wewe had to do was ask her to stay....with you.
C: Really, while she's hanging off another guys arm...i don't think so.
S: Look, i told wewe that if wewe took too long, you'd lose your chance....you shouldn't let anything stop you...chuck...she should be here....with us...not some stranger...we dont even know that guy...he could be a psycho rapist au something...!
