Sinners and Saints

Chapter 23

It's a rainy morning and unfortunately Mark and Lucy are both out due to a cold so I'm left walking to school. 

Yes, I could have asked Blair, Serena, or Nate for a ride but I knew they would just pester me about Chuck.

 I hold the umbrella above my head as I walk down the street but I slower my steps as I notice a familiar limo driving near me.

 For the love of god.

 The black tinted window of the limo rolls down revealing the one and only Chuck Bass. 

"Wanna get in?" he asks, leaning his head out the window. 

"I'd love to give you a ride. Or better yet you could give me a ride." he says grinning from ear to ear.

 I flip him off saying "Oh, I'm sure you would. Too bad you've made the terms of that arrangement impossible." I reply, continuing my walk to school. 

"About that, maybe I was a little too hasty. Come on, get in." he tries to reason with me.

 "Maybe I don't want you anymore." I state raising my shoulders up and down.

 "Don't torture me. I'm dying" Chuck whines. 

Tired of hearing his voice and just wanting to be left alone I reach for the door hoping that would shut him up but Chuck presses the lock "All you have to do is say those three magic words."

 "Suck a dick?" I jokingly question. 

I then turn the volume on my earbuds up to the highest level while continuing my walk in the rain leaving Chuck behind.

Later on in the day I approach Blair during our lunch hour. 

"You have to help me destroy Chuck Bass." I say pulling her towards Serena and Dan who were sitting in the courtyard talking. 

"I'll take that as my cue to leave." Dan says, hearing my voice. 

"You're very perspective." Blair says sarcastically. 

"Dan, wait. If London is having a problem with Chuck, a man's perspective could be helpful." Serena says pointedly.

 "I agree. Dan, please sit down." I say pointing towards Dan's previously attended seat. 

"If you're plotting against Chuck Bass, I'm sure I could think of something." Dan tells me.

 "London, here wants Chuck back." Blair starts. 

I cough loudly so that she would change her story. 

Blair gives me a look before continuing "Fine. London here is considering taking Chuck back but he won't oblige unless she tells him she loves him." 

Blair debriefs Dan on my current situation.

 "You need help getting Chuck to take you back and sleep with you? Really?" Dan asks, confused.

 "Are you judging me? Also sleeping with him is not the issue, it's what comes after that, that is the problem" I say, sighing.

 "Sorry. No judging, only helping." Dan apologizes. 

"So do you love him?" he questions. 

"God no." I say a little too quickly. 

"Then why don't you just say it to get what you want? Guys have been doing that since forever." Dan speaks. 

"I can't because that would mean Chuck wins." I explain. 

"Right, but if you say it, then you get him and you win." Dan says, trying to remind me.
