The Devil Wears Armani (ON HOLD)

Blair's P.O.V

Today was a hectic day. I was running in and out of the office the entire day running errands and I had to use the back door of the building and the service elevator to avoid Christian. We had almost kissed in the elevator in the morning and i hated that he still had that effect on me. What was worse was that he knew that he still had the effect on me.

But it wasn't going to happen again. I knew I couldn't really resist him so my only other option was to avoid him.

Sean let me off early so I could get ready for the gala dinner.

Shit. The gala dinner. I totally forgot about it and now I had nothing to wear. This situation required Cheryl so I quickly called her.

"This is very short notice but I think I can still save the day." She said dramatically.

That was Cher being......Cher.

"Okay drama queen, how about this one?" I said, holding up a pretty pink dress. It was sweet and simple.

"Oh it's perfect....if you were going in a freakin picnic on the freakin beach. Seriously Blair, have I thought you nothing?" She said, rolling her eyes.

"Okay..moving on sergeant." I said, moving along the aisle. Cher browsed through for a few minutes when she came to a halt in front of a dress. "Eeeee! This is the one! I've found it!" She said holding it up so I could get a better view.

It was a deep shade of royal blue and off shoulders. It was fit till the bottom and then had a mermaid style finishing. It really was gorgeous.

"I don't know Cher. I mean, don't you think it's a bit too revealing?" I asked skeptically.

"Are you crazy? Why don't we just buy you a sack? C'mon Blair, it's perfect." She pleaded.

It was way over my budget but Cher would never understand it. And really was a gorgeous gown so I brought it.

When I got home Cher quickly styled my hair into a bohemian style bun while still keeping it elegant. The makeup she put on me was a little more that my liking but I knew better than to argue. When it was 7:00 I had already changed into my dress and completed the look with black peep toe pumps.

I heard a knock on the main door and opened it to a smiling Sean, but his eyes went wide when he saw me.

"Blair....wow....you look stunning!" He exclaimed.

"Thanks! You don't look so bad yourself Sean." I joked. He actually looked pretty hot in his tuxedo.

As we were about to enter the red carpet, I saw about two dozen paparazzi people. Oh my god! I couldn't deal with them now.

"Blair, are you okay? " Sean asked , concerned due to how pale I got.

"I'm okay.....um...shouldn't I just enter from the back entrance?" I asked nervously

"Blair, hey, it's the paparazzi isn't it? It's going to be okay. I'll stand by you through it all. You just have to smile for the cameras and look sexy although you don't really have to try to do that do you?" He said encouragingly.

I nodded and we got out on the red carpet. Just as we got out we were bombarded with questions.

"Mr Sean, is it true that you're engaged to miss Blair now?"

"Mr Sean please pose for the cameras"

"Miss Blair, are you dating mr Charles to get back at mr Christian for what he did?"

"Miss Blair we heard you're pregnant with Christian Davidson's child. Care to comment on that?"

That last statement hit a nerve. I didn't know what to do so I just kept on fake-smiling and walking. I could feel Sean's protective arm on my shoulder and it made me feel safe.
