"𝐒𝐨 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 about a custom made corset and I hear wigs are involved?" Serena asked Blair who smiled. The three of us were lounged on Blair's bed discussing the ideas of the masquerade. "It's a masquerade you have to hide your identity." I answered. "But I have a special thing planned for Anthony tonight, to see if he's boyfriend material. A game, a scavenger hunt." Blair smiled dreamily.
"Blair fancies the brit." I sing songed. "I do not!" Blair denied with a small smile. "Anthony starts the night with a clue, which leads him to a lady in waiting who gives him the clue to the next lady..." Blair trailed off. "Wait hold on you have ladies now?" Serena asked. "If he finds me before midnight when the masks come off, he can claim his prize." My sister beamed. "Oh I wonder what that is." I smirked sarcastically.
"What about you A?" S asked. "I'm going to meet Nate at midnight on the rooftop and then we can finally... You know... After everything that's happened in the past year I want to make it under the stars and special." I smiled. "And I want to see if Anthony is a loyal person and we could have something special." B explained.
"Well both of those sound very romantic Waldorfs." Serena smiled to us. "If neither of you want me to come tonight, because of Nate, I'd totally understand..." She rambled on. "No we want you to come." I smiled. "I was hoping you'd be one of my ladies in waiting. Would you give Anthony the last clue?" Blair asked with a smile.
"Are you sure you want me to?" She wondered. "Tonight is all about starting over." I beamed. "I trust you both, if there isn't trust then what's a relationship?" I wondered. "Well then I'd be honoured to attend the ball my queens." Serena bowed as we giggled. "You're bringing Dan right?" B wondered.
"I know him, a masked ball? Dan would never wanna go to something so pretentious, where he has to wear a mask and a tux." Serena replied. "But he likes you, for the people you like you do anything for." I smiled. "Are you worried that he has a date? I mean he is Dan Humphrey, the playboy." Blair mocked as Serena laughed.
"Shut up, I don't know, I guess a masked ball is better than a regular party then because all those kids from school that he hates he wont recognize them." Serena explained. "I see that logic, it does make sense." I nodded as my phone buzzed:
Go check ur room...-C
"Excuse me, I have to go sort something out." I smiled kissing both their cheeks and going to my room.
✯✯✯
𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 room to see a box with a purple ribbon on top, with a note reading, "Dear Kitten, as much as you deny it I want to give you a gift for the masquerade tonight. Love C." I read the note and smiled. "Well aren't you going to open it?" Chuck asked me making me turn on my heel to see him there. "Why did you buy me a dress?" I wondered with a smile. "Because I knew you'd want a new dress for the masked ball and I know exactly what dress you'd like." He smiled as I opened the box to see the most beautiful purple dress ever. (See below)
"Wow it's beautiful, it must have cost so much..." I gasped meeting Chuck's gaze, "Money's no problem for Chuck Bass." He smirked. "Are you saying I deserve it?" I smirked. "It's a beautiful dress for a beautiful lady." Chuck replied. "Wow what a line." I scoffed swatting his shoulder. "It's not a line." He laughed. "Mhmmm." I laughed before hugging him. "Thank you Chuck." I smiled.
"This will look perfect for when Nate and I meet at the ball tonight." I beamed as I stopped hugging Chuck. "Oh right you're supposed to meet at midnight right?" He spoke. "There is no supposed too." I furrowed my brows. "I'll make you a bet that he doesn't show up." Chuck smirked. "Sure, and I bet he does." I smiled. "If he doesn't you have to spend the night with me." Chuck grinned. "And when he does, you have to leave the flirty comments out." I smiled as we shook hands.
"It's a deal." We both smirked. "I best get going I have to meet Nathaniel." He smiled. "I'm never sleeping with you again." I warned him. "Who says we'd be sleeping kitten." Chuck winked as I rolled my eyes. "Who says I'd give consent?" I retorted. "Who says you'd need it." He joked before kissing my cheek. "Bye sweetheart." He smirked walking off.

"𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐲 think he is? Serena is putting up a strong front, but I can see how hurt she is." Blair went on as Kati, Is, Blair and I walked down the stairs. She'd caught me up on the tales of Daniel Humphrey, it wasn't smart to lie to Serena Van Der Woodsen, especially when she's got the Waldorf's on her side. "We have to help heal her heart." I chimed in. "Where did you go anyway?" B asked me. "Oh uhm Nate bought me a dress for the Masquerade." I lied.
"But it's pretty later notice." Kati pointed out, "Most of the good ones are already taken." Isabel excused. "No excuses, Serena must have the hottest date ever!" Blair smiled, "If he's got plans, he'll change them. If he's got a girlfriend he'll dump her and if he's out of town he'll charter a G5 and fly home." I chimed.
"Make it happen." My twin ordered as we turned on our heels to see our mother with a bong. "Is that a bong, mother?" Blair asked. "As a person with experience it is." I replied. "Please." Mother scoffed. "I didn't take you as a stoner." My sister spoke as I snickered. "It's a uh uh hookah.." She thought of the word. "No mother it's a bong, and are you using drugs" I asked with a smirk.
"No I am not dear and it is adorable, it's for my Moroccan-themed party." Mother explained. "Why do you have to celebrate your Bendel's deal by turning our penthouse to an opium den?" B wondered. "Why not?" She smiled. "What's going on with your face, it looks weird." I spoke with furrowed brows. "Ew she's smiling..." Blair whispered to me.
"Hey Alex, it's me. I um I really need to talk to you. It's uh, there's this thing with my dad, and um you know I just really need to talk to you. So can you call me back when you can? Thanks."
I looked down at my phone, "Nate- 1 New voicemail."
✯✯✯
"𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 would've done without you, thank you." Blair thanked Jenny, I was going to get back to Nate as soon as I could, I just felt rushed off me feet and I'd not even listened to the voicemail yet. "That's okay, yeah it was fun." Jenny answered. "Yeah well it's all part of your education and clearly you're learning." I pointed out as Blair held the freshmans wrist as we saw a shiny bracelet.
"It's a nice bracelet. Vintage right?" B smiled. "The diamonds are real from the way I see it too." I picked up on it. "Because they sort of are, uh, the man at the store lent them to me." She sheepishly confessed. "Why would he do that?" Blair wondered as I raised a brow in disbelief as Jenny just smiled at us. "Oh she thought it." I smirked. "Oh sweetie you didn't think you were going to be able to come tonight did you?" Blair wondered with a smile.
"Uh, I thought maybe yeah." She replied. "Well you thought wrong Jenny, freshmen's don't go to the masked ball, sorry Cinders." I smirked. "It's just that I bought five dresses." Jenny muttered. "Well you always need a backup, then extra backups." I told her. "Yeah right I'll remember that, have fun tonight, both of you." She spoke.
"We will, and don't worry, your time ill come. I assure you. If you excuse us we have to get ready." Blair smiled as I walked off with her.
✯✯✯
𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐞'𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 whilst I got ready, oh no his dad, I hope hes okay. When he finds me tonight I'll speak with him all about it. I curled my hair as I texted Anthony:
Wear a golden mask 2nite match B-A x
Oh that right? What do u want me to wear???-T x
Stop it Tony, Blair's rly excited for 2nite... As I am -A x
If u insist love, yess ma'am... See u soon... T x
"Dorota! Bring my dress and corset out please." I smiled. "Yes Miss Alex." She smiled as I got ready for the masked ball. It was one of my favourite balls, I also liked burlesque but that's a different subject. (See outfit below)
"You look perfect Miss Alexandra." Dorota smiled to me as I looked in the mirror tightening the mask as I placed it over my eyes. "Is my corset done up Dorota?" I asked. "One moment." She told me tightening it as I felt it tightening it around my waist. "Perfect." She informed me, "I feel really beautiful right now..." I smiled at myself. "You look it miss Alex..." Dorota smiled walking off.
"She's right you know." Nate told me at my door. "You're not meant to be here!" I warned with a smile. "How come you never returned my call?" He wondered. "I got really distracted and busy, is there anything I can do?" I asked. "It's okay." Nate promised kissing my lips softly. "I'll see you at midnight prince." I smiled walking off...

✯✯✯
"𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐟." 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 man at the door, "Alex I'm guessing." He told me. "Oh darling, tonight I'm Alexandra." I smiled before walking inside to see all the beautiful masked people. I looked over to see a beautiful blonde with her hair up and purple feathers on the mask. I walked over to my sister, "Stop worrying." I told my sister. "I'm not worried." My sister refused as our gaze cast across to three boys.
One was Nate as he had his phantom of the opera styled mask on, then there was the shaggy brown haired boy in the devil mask and a red suit to match. I guessed that was Chuck just from it being Chuck. Then there was Anthony who was in a black suit with a mask identical to Chuck's but black. "You must stop panicking too..." Blair told me. "He'll meet you." We spoke to one another.
"Hello girls..." Chuck said from behind us both. "Hello Bass..." I smiled. "I'm off to get a drink." Blair huffed. "You seem nervous." Chuck smugly smiled. "He's right over..." I went to say when I couldn't find Nate. "Where?" He smirked his breath against my ear. "I-I dunno." I confessed as Chuck wrapped his arms around my waist. "Looks like I'm gonna win..." Chuck smirked pressing a kiss on my jaw.
"Mmm.. In your dreams." I hummed as Blair looked towards us both with a quirked eyebrow.
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨? 𝙔𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩...
"Get off of me now... Blair's watching." I hissed pushing him off of me as Blair walked over, "What's wrong with you two?" Blair asked me. "He's being a basshole." I answered sipping on my drink Blair had gotten me. "What is Anthony doing anyway? It's getting late and he's meant to find Kati and Is, I'm loosing my heat." Blair frowned. "And Nate, it's like someone's trying to piss me off." I frowned.
"Well, you Waldorf's look ravishing. If I were one of your men I wouldn't need clues to find either of you." Chuck flirted with the pair of us. "Or to ravish me, I'm sure." I mocked. "God Chuck you're such an ass." Blair rolled her eyes. "Whose that?" Chuck asked eyeing up a blonde. "Probably some bitch from Chapin." Blair shrugged. "A hot bitch from Chapin." Chuck and I said at the same time looking at one other.
"You've got Nate please, she's mine." Chuck scoffed as I whispered to him, "Scared you'll loose? You wanna be my bitch?" I grinned. "Please tonight you'll be screaming my name as I make you Come over and over until you squi-" He sneered as my cheeks flushed and eyes widened. "Forget her, go get Anthony and point him into the right direction." Blair ordered. "And check on Nate." I pleaded.
"First things first." Chuck smirked placing his champagne on the tray and walking off. "Basshole." Blair and I scoffed.
✯✯✯
"𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐞?" I asked Anthony, "No princess, I haven't seen your bloody boyfriend." He snapped. "What's up your ass?" I wondered softly sipping on my champagne. "It's your sister, out of nowhere she decides we need a scavenger hunt. I haven't even fucked her or kissed her and I'm meant to go on a wild goosechase?" Tony complained.
"My sister likes you Tony; please don't let her down. Or have the guts to tell her." I sternly told him. "It's not that simple." He huffed. "Relationships never are." I sighed noticing Nate talk to a blonde. "He doesn't deserve you and you know it." Anthony assured me giving me a hug. "Thanks Tony. Just talk to Blair she'll understand." I assured him. "Tell Nate I'm off to the roof." I smiled walking up there.
✯✯✯
"𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 me..." Chuck's voice shouted, "Chuck?" I frowned stepping through to see him in his vest and boxers. "You're not meant to be up here." He scowled. "That's funny." I smirked as I looked over the rooftop. "I found your pants." I heard the girls voice say, wait a second... That's Jenny. "You're getting warmer...Which is an achievement considering your already hot." Chuck taunted as I rolled my eyes. "Such a line." I mocked under my breath.
"Well you better hope it doesn't get cold..." Jenny teased going to clearly walk away. "What's that supposed to mean?" Chuck asked confused then the door slammed behind us. "That's hilarious she locked you out!" I laughed at him. "In your underwear!" I shouted laughing harder and snorting. "What?" He asked. "No I'm not." He scoffed then ran to the door. "Hey what the hell!? My phone is in my pants and I'm stuck up here, bitch!" He shouted slamming his hand against the door.
I looked down at my phone 12:07am, "Looks like we both lost tonight..." I sighed putting my phone out as he walked over then smirked seeing the time. "How are you not pissed; you're trapped here too." He wondered. "Because I ,Alexandra Cordelia Waldorf, did nothing wrong and I look hot." I smiled. "The real reason? Although you look ravishing." He raised a brow.
"Blair will realise I'm gone soon." I smirked.
"I guess you want to collect your prize." I spoke to him. "You, you really think I'd do that?" Chuck wondered as a flash of hurt peered through his eyes. "You're Chuck Bass." I replied as he simply put his hand out. "What's this?" I asked perplexed. "Dance with me." He smirked. "Ask nicer." I smiled.
"Alexandra Cordelia Waldorf, may I please have this dance?" Chuck asked smirking. "Chuck Bartholomew Bass you may." I smirked accepting his hand, "I've never really done this before." I sheepishly confessed. "Nathaniel never danced with you?" Chuck wondered as I shook my head.
"Put your arms around my neck." He calmly spoke as I obeyed him. "So obeying... Cute." He hummed. "How many times do I have to call you my bitch before you get it." I teased as his arms went around my waist. "Then you just go with it... Like you do a lot." He whispered smirking.
"How come you always make a night enjoyable.." I smiled. "I'm Chuck Bass..." He smirked as I felt goosebumps on my skin. "Nate's gonna kill you if he finds out you flirt with me." I smirked. "He'd understand have you seen yourself?" Chuck grinned. "Part of me wanted to loose that bet." I confessed as Chuck chucked and whispered in my ear.
"I know kitten, that's why Tony messed with your odds." He smirked. "You little cheater!" I grinned as the stars shimmered on us. "Well this is romantic, me in a beautiful dress and you in your underwear." I smirked. "Who was that bitch..." he frowned. "It was Jenny Humphrey." I smiled. "I got fooled by a freshman.." He sighed before taking my mask off.
"Beautiful..." Chuck smiled as I took his off. "And you're truly handsome..." I smiled. "Have you eaten today?" He asked me. "You're the first person to ask me that, yes." I truthfully answered. "Good." He smirked. "You care..." I sing songed in his ear kissing it. "You like that I care, you like me." He hummed. "Don't get your hopes up..." I smirked as we danced the night away... Or until Blair found us at least...
