C: Oh, of course ...she hasn't told u about that has she....some friend.
S: Your lying....your just making it up...to get to me...

Serena storms off...
C: (to himself but out loud) I was going to make it up to her...

S: Well u did leave last night when u could have stayed with him...
B: All he had to do was ask...and like u zei he found alternative company....and me leaving is no excuse for him to betray my trust!

Blair storms off ignores serena's attempt to call her back.

The volgende day...Blair's bedroom.

Blair wakes up....the curtains are drawn so it is light.
Last night Blair came home pagina late and threw herself under her duvet...she cried herself to sleep.
Her avondeten, diner had been left on her bed side table, but because she came in at night the lights were off and she didnt notice.
Blair lays on her back and looks to her ceiling. she jumps up due to being shocked at what she see's above her.
On her ceiling is the painting from the art gallery exhibition. the one she liked. the one that wasn't for sale but has somehow ended up on her ceiling....

Blair is confused, it's obvious that chuck has something to do with the painting ending up on the ceiling and feels guilty for arguing with him yesterday.

Dorota enters.

Dt: Oh, Miss Blair u are awake....you haven't eaten your dinner...? Oh...have u seen it.....the painting..?
B: Yes.....how did it get there and who put it up there!?
Dt: oh! it's wonderful isn't it! Your friend Charles arranged it...there were some gentlemen here yesterday after u left for school who put it up there and they told me i was not to say anything until u saw it yourself....it's wonderful!
B: Wonderful???!! u zei they came in the morning? (Whispers to herself) He did this before the argument...?
Dt: What?
B: Nothing....
Dt: Oh and the note...what did it say?
B: What note?
Dt: u haven't read it....it is on your bedside table....there (points)

Blair picks up an envelope from her bedside tafel, tabel and opens it.
The letter says...

"Waldorf,

I have granted your wish to wake up every morning and see the painting on your ceiling.
Now grant my wish to wake up every morning and see u volgende to me.

Chuck"

Blair sighs and takes a deep breath, clearly touched door the note.
With almost tears in her eyes she quickly gets out of bed.

B: I need to get ready for school.
Dt: But what did the note say?
B: (hands her the note) Here read it....leave me to get ready!
Dt: (after reading note) Oh my! Oh my! Miss Blair....is this boy....does he like you?
B: Please just leave me to get ready!
Dt: Yes Miss Blair....i apologise...(proceeds to walk out, before leaving she says...) What he did....the painting...it was very thoughtful of him.
Blair smiles, dorota leaves.

At School.
Chuck is smoking door school entrance. Blair spots him and walks over to him.
Chuck quickly disposes of the cigarette.

B: It's ok, u didnt have to get rid of it.
C: Well, i know u dont like it.
B: (smiles) Thanks.
C: I'm sorry for yesterday.....
B: But u didn't do anything....
C: I told Serena about us. And i've kind of gotton the hang of apologising...
B: (laughs lightly) Well she would have found out anyway....i shouldn't have gotten so angry with you....i'm sorry for arguing with u and for getting angry....i....i'm really sorry.
C: I forgive you........ for everything you've done, and for everything you'll do in the future...i don't care if u get mad at me...as long as....(looks down)
B: As long as...? what?
C: .......I dont know....the other day....at the gallery...when u left with that other guy....i thought that...i thought that it was over...that you'd gone for good....i don't wanna feel like that again. i'll put up with your tantrums as long as u don't leave again.
B: My tantrums??!! since when do i have tantrums....and when i do it's not like its for no reason.
C:(moves up against her, smiles and plays with her hair) Well aslong as u channel all that negative energy into something positive....we wont have a problem....will we?
B: Chuck...(pushes him slightly away) i'm trying to be serious here....
C: Well so am i.
B: Yeah until u started teasing again.....just listen.......i saw the painting...on my celing ....it was the nicest thing anyone has ever doen for me....really.
C: i'm glad u liked it.
B: How could i not....no-one except u would do something like that.
C: Well, i wanna make all your wishes come true.
B: and the note...
C: What about it?
B: Did u mean it?
C: Actually i haven't read it, i got someone else to write that..
B: What! What do you....
C: (cuts her off) Im just kidding! ...(laughs) Of course i meant it....
B: (smiles, he is stroking her now) is that really your wish?
C: .......Yeh
B: It'l take some time.
C: I know....i can wait.
B: Will you?
C: Any doubt?
B: Maybe....your not exactly the....settling down kind of guy.
C: wasn't...but you've...put a different perspective on my life.
B: I have?....so your saying you've changed?
C: Yes. (whispers close to her face suggestively) Any doubt?
B: u smell of tobacco....(turns her face slightly away)
C: (leans away slightly) Look...a lot has happened....with us....i'm willing to put everything behind us so that we can have a fresh trouble free start? Do u want that?
B: What would that mean....for us? is there ........an "us"?
C: What would it mean?....Well it would mean no meer arguing....no meer games....no meer lies...what do u want it to mean?
B: Openness...like now for example....you should be saying something but your not....? u always do this....and its the reason that....i slipped away before...why cant u just open up?
C: (looks to the ground) Ok, (looks into her eyes) I wanna be with you. I ....think....i think im falling ....fallen in...in love with you.
B: u think?
C: ok...i (is cut of)
B: Wait...dont...i dont want to push u into saying something your not ready to say....telling me u want to be with me is enough....we can take it from there....(smiles and strokes his face) I wanna be with u too...
C: It's not that im not ready.....it's just that i dont know anything about love....i dont know how it should feel....i dont wanna say it to u and make u think i feel it when i dont actually know what that feeling is...do u know what i mean?
B: Then how do u feel?
C: I...want to be with you.....your the most...the only...important person in my life and i never want to lose you....you're beautiful (strokes her face) inside out, but especially on the outside! (they both laugh) and i cant beer to imagine u with anyone else....i've never imagined feeling like this....i never thought committment was for me...until i fell for you....you know i never even thought about things like marriage of having kids and a family....but now i kinda think it would be nice....thats if i can manage to get there in the first place! but if i do....id only do it....with you...i dont think i could imagine being committed to anyone else....i really do see a future for us...(kisses her)
B: I can't believe it....i never thought this would happen....not with you.
C: Why not?
B: Well...i never expected that you'd feel this way about me....i know u cared...but i didnt expect u to ...fall for me the way u have....and i...im just so happy right now...i dont ever want this to end...i....i want to be with u for ever.
C: Me to. (they kiss)
B: Will u always be there for me? Always?
C: I hope so.
B: u only hope?
C: I'll try my best, i promise....but u know it's impossible to predict the future...anything can happen...but of course i'll always be there for u unless divine intervention alters that.(they smile and kiss)
B: I'll always be there for u too...you can come to me for anything....when u need to talk of anything...i want u to feel comfortable opening up to me....i can be there for you.
C: I know. (kisses her)
B: I've been through a lot in my life....and most of the time i've had no-one to talk to about it....i want that to change...i want u to be that person....the person who i can go to...unconditionally...any time of dag of night...when i need to.
C: Of course....you can always come to me (he holds her to his chest and puts his arms around her tightly)
B: I want u to feel the same way....i know you've had a rough time in your life too...and i want to be that person for you....the one u rely on to be there when u want to talk of cry to.
