So, Seventeen Candles.
Darn it, I'm totally in love with Gossip Girl now. And a huge part of that love is because of my current OTP, Chuck/Blair.
Honestly, when episode 7 aired, I was deliriously happy -- I didn't think that Chuck/Blair would actually happen, ya know? And when it did, it was everything I hoped it would be.
Their chemistry is just great.
I mean, yeah sure, Nate's insanely gorgeous and in comparison, Chuck falls somewhat short. But holy shit, when Chuck is around Blair, their unbelievable chemistry just tops everything -- even said gorgeousness of Nate.
OK, time for actual recaps.
- Blair goes for a confession -- about what else but the fact that she lost her virginity 20 minutes (to someone else) after breaking up with her boyfriend.
- Blair wishes to get back together with Nate (surprise surprise).
- Blair threatens Chuck not to tell anyone, especially Nate, about their night together. She also uninvites him to her birthday party.
- Nate suggests that he and Blair get back together -- but only because his family wants Blair's (and in extension, her monther's) loyalty. Bastard. And Blair doesn't know of course.
- The conversation between C & B on the balcony:
B: You sound like a jealous boyfriend.
C: Yeah right, you wish. (looks extremely uncomfortable + shifty here)
B: (laughs, then looks at C in disbelief) No. You wish.
C: Please, you forget who you're talking to. (still looks extremely uncomfortable + shifty)
B: So do you. Do you... like me?
C: (looks at B for a long time, and then looks uncomfortable) Define 'like'.
B: (laughs shortly in disbelief) You've got to be kidding. I do not believe this.
C: How do you think I feel? I haven't slept. I feel sick, like there's something in my stomach...fluttering.
B: (sarcastically) Butterflies? Oh no no no no no no no. This is not happening.
C: No one is more surprised or ashamed than I am.
B: Chuck. You know that I adore all of God's creatures and the metaphors that they inspire. But. These butterflies..have got to be murdered.
- Nate still hasn't arrived at Blair's party. Blair's waiting for Nate's traditional 12mn birthday call. Chuck calls for a wager -- if Nate calls Blair at 12, Chuck will leave her alone forever. But if he doesn't, she'll have to spend the night with Chuck.
- Nate doesn't call. And Gossip Girl's got a present for Blair -- a picture of Nate hugging and unknown blonde girl (Jenny).
- Blair breaks down, and finally admits that Nate and her broke up.
- Chuck presents Blair with a diamond necklace
.
He said, "Something this beautiful deserves to be seen on someone worthy of its beauty." Then, Blair holds his hand and Chuck kisses her shoulder (See below!).
- Serena, about to try cheering Blair up, witnesses Chuck and Blair making out.
The scene on the balcony:
B: You sound like a jealous boyfriend.
C: Yeah right, you wish.
B: No, you wish.
B: Do you...like me?
C: Define 'like'.
B: You've got to be kidding. I do not believe this.
C: How do you think I feel? I haven't slept. I feel sick, like there's something in my stomach...fluttering.
B: Butterflies? Oh no no no no no no no. This is not happening.
C: No one is more surprised or ashamed than I am.
B: Chuck. You know that I adore all of God's creatures and the metaphors that they inspire. But. These butterflies..have got to be murdered.
The put-on-necklace scene:
"Something this beautiful deserves to be seen on someone worthy of its beauty."
I just love that kiss on the shoulder. And the kinda-but-not-really nuzzle they did.
Oh, and a screencap of Nate, just because he's so very pretty.
