She's pissed off. If asked, she would say that she's just concerned about some charity thing or another, because a girl has to keep her image, especially a girl like Blair, but that's hardly true - she's just downright angry and about to throw herself on her bed and whine and throw a tantrum like a baby. She can't, because she doesn't want to ruin her dress and her hair, but she wants to.
She's pissed at Nate for breaking up and making all the time she has spent planning their future worthless and taking so long to reconsider and then just not being at her birthday party, and she's pissed at Serena for coming back and being the center of attention and spending time with Dan Humphrey that she could be spending with her best friend, and she's pissed at Chuck for being Chuck, and she's pissed at her dad for leaving them and at her mom for not trying to make things right and she's especially pissed at herself for wanting Nate back and for wishing Serena didn't have a life beside Blair and for hoping that Dan Humphrey won't hurt her friend anyway and for having - God, she can't even say the right word - done more than regrettable things with Chuck of all people, and for not being able to accept the divorce after all this time.
That's her explanation. That, and she may have drunk enough to be sort of tipsy and trip. She hasn't, but she could have, so Dan doesn't have to know it's an act. You know how in movies the clumsy heroine doesn't look where she's going and tumbles down just in time to be caught by her knight in shining armor -or in the school's basketball uniform-?
Well, while Serena's busy bonding with her boyfriend's very dangerous best friend -and who has the good-temperedness to do that, anyway?-, and Blair's trying to dodge Chuck as well as she can -she should have invited more people-, Dan has the misfortune to walk by the bedroom where Blair is hiding and have her fall unsteadily on his arms.
It's attempt number a thousand, and it's probably the same thing that led her to that very regrettable event with Chuck, but she pulls him inside the room and closes the door enough to make invisible to the not innocent passerby that she's crushed their lips together and probably chipped a tooth in the process.
And he kisses back. Not for long, but long enough for Blair to throw her arms around his neck and shoulders and suspend her full weight from there. He's a sweet kisser and he doesn't even let her take things to the Frenchkissing level, and in a way it's like he's kissing a - a sister, if that wasn't an absolutely disgusting thought.
When he pulls apart, he draws her hands away and smirks, Blair would say, sort of - it's this crooked smile that he uses so much and that looks like a smirk but isn't, because it doesn't give off a "I just made out with my girlfriend's best friend, how cool am I?" feeling, but more of a "This poor girl is so sad she's hallucinating and I'm just going along with it so that she won't feel even worse" vibe.
"Blair, you're drunk", he says, and he probably knows it's not literally true, but it's as good an euphemism as any other.
Blair gives him her best pained expression, all crinkled eyes and embarrassment, and honestly pleads,
"Don't tell Serena," and he smiles that silly smile again.
"There's nothing to tell," he answers with a nod, like he's sorry for her, like he knows that he hasn't done anything wrong, and then he turns around and walks away, and Blair takes that as an okay, and knows that they're never going to talk about it again, and Blair is thankful until she thinks about it.
Then, all this just pisses her off even more, because Serena can have Nate, and Nate did do something wrong, and her boyfriend -her ex-boyfriend, says a voice like Dan's in his head- would do that while Serena's wouldn't, and that's probably why she sleeps with Chuck again, because he looks like he wants her and only her and he's not pretending to be anything he's not.
Or maybe he is -he's Chuck, after all-, what with the Erikson Beamon necklace and the stupid kindness and the blacklisted butterflies, but Blair wants to believe someone's not for a while.
