Blair crossed her arms out in front of her, "You really need to leave now," she said through gritted teeth, "I don't want anything to do with you at the moment."
But Daniel's stance remained adamant and he did not even seem to budge. "I only want to talk to you."
"Well I don't," Blair huffed and unlocked her front door, "so you can either leave or freeze out here all night. Goodbye." And with that, she had stormed her way inside.
Blair had changed into her pajamas and was ready to snuggle into bed - it had been a long day. The stress of the night had almost made her forget what had transpired downstairs just a few moments ago.
But before she could properly make herself comfortable, her phone beeped once and his name flashed across the screen.
Of course, that smart bastard. He knew she would never pick up his call and so he had texted her instead.
Begrudgingly, Blair's fingers hovered over the open button but finally, she succumbed and the message sprang to life with a tap.
"I don't really mean to complain....but I mean it is awfully cold outside."
Blair rolled her eyes. Of course he would play the innocent victim blame-it-on-the-cold card.
Too bad. Go away."
Her phone buzzed almost immediately.
"It's actually getting harder to type here”
Blair groaned loudly – she knew the November chill of the night was unforgiving but there was no way she was going to let him inside – that would ruin everything and her resolve would crumble. Sighing to herself, she put her phone aside and her head hit the pillow.
One Hour Later
Blair couldn’t sleep; she found herself fazing in and out of consciousness. But after tossing and turning in her bed for more than an hour, Blair realized she could not take this anymore. She had to do something about him – she could not just sleep knowing he was standing right there outside.
Picking up her phone from her side, her fingers quickly went to type the following message.
“Please go home. I don’t want to call the cops on you.”
Blair bit down her lip as she pressed sent. Whether or not she could ever call the cops on him was an entirely different story but it sure made for a hefty threat and she hoped he would take the bait and leave the premises.
The phone buzzed almost immediately yet again.
“Just give me five minutes. I only want to apologize.”
Blair sighed deeply. He wanted to apologize? What was he going to say anyway? Still, seeing how stubborn he was being, it would probably be best to just get it over with and see what he has to say once and for all.
Slipping on her shoes, she made her way out to the front door. Just as she turned the knob, she noticed Daniel was still standing there in the same place where she had left him. He gave her a weak smile.
“Hey,” he greeted, again as though this was a completely normal situation to be in, “can I come inside?”
Blair looked at him for a moment and saw the expression on his face – it was solemn and of a person who had realized they had truly messed up. She nodded and opened out the door further to let him in.
“But be quiet, my mother’s still sleeping and I don’t want her to know you’re here.”
“Hey, she didn’t find out the first time, it’s okay,” he whispered back and she could have sworn she saw him wink at her through the dark.
They made their way back into Blair’s room and Blair went and sat at the edge of her bed. But when Daniel moved to try and take a seat next to her, Blair held out a steady hand.
“I’d rather you stand,” she said curtly, still refusing to meet his gaze.
“Blair, come on now,” he started, “I did not know you were going to be this upset. After all, you were the one who initiated the whole thing with Kate. You’re sending me some real mixed signals here.”
“Did you screw her after I left?” she asked, raising an eyebrow and the evident hurt seeping into her tone.
