A note from the author!: Hey guys. I hope you enjoy my first GG fanfic :] I get frusterated by how slow their relationship develops on the show, so I took matters into my own hands. Of course, none of the characters belong to me, so no lawsuits, alright? Review. I'd like all of the criticism I could get. I had a few chapters of this typed up, but my laptop decided to delete them without warning. :P
And all errors within the story are my fault. I have no Beta, yet. If you'd like to be my Beta, by all means :D Send me a message and we'll work it out. Enjoy!

They had been dating for four long months. Surely, that was long enough for him to do this? Add four months to the years of them playing cat and mouse...yes, this was a good decision.
He was nervous. Damnit, why was he nervous? He was Chuck Bass. He gets what he wants. And tonight, he would have everything.

He looked at his cell phone with an amused expression. Would she be awake, or sleeping off a hang over? Oh, what the hell. She had been upset with him for the past month. This would please her pretty little self.

"Hello, Chuck." his little kitten purred into the phone.
"Ah, just the woman I had wanted to talk to." he said, his facial expression evident in his voice. That Basstard had a certain voice that Blair so enjoyed.
"What is it you wanted, Chuck?" she asked, pretending to be uninterested. Secretly? Her heart fluttered every time she received a call or text from him.
"To pick you up tonight at seven. I believe we have a ball to attend, do we not?"
"It's so last minute, Chuck. I'll have to find a dress and everything..." she said sarcasticly.
"I wouldn't mind if you showed up without a dress. You're beautiful without clothing, if memory serves me correctly." he told her honestly. He wished that he could see her blush.
"Pick me up at seven." she said, a hint of a smile in her voice.
"I promise." he hung up. 5 hours until he picked her up. 9 hours until he put his heart on the line for her.

"Do it somewhere public," Serena advised after congratulating her step-brother. "She wants it to be romantic, but somewhere where people are bound to see."
"Any ideas?" he mused.
"Take her to the ball, and get her to go outside to the gazebo with you. It has to be traditional, Chuck. Down on one knee, the works." she told him, trying to contain her excitement. After watching her two friends dance around their feelings for each other for years, this would be a nice change in pace.
"Just remember to let your guard down with her, Chuck. We know you're not the bad guy you make yourself out to be. Be sweet to her. Compliment her, show affection." she said quietly.

She truly did look lovely, but Chuck Bass was not a man of many words. She wore a strapless crimson dress, accentuated with black mesh, that ended halfway on her spectacular pale calves. She wore the black pumps he bought her for her birthday. They pushed her delicate 5'3 frame up to a slightly taller 5'6. He still stood half a foot above her. She wore the diamond B necklace her mother had given her last year, the pendant hanging right above her delicious cleavage. She smelled strongly of lavendar and vanilla, the scent that lingers on his sheets at night.
She had spent a few nights in his bed- no touching, much to his dismay. She needed comfort when her mother left her for a 'business trip' and Serena was out late with Dan.

"You look beautiful, Blair." he said truthfully, helping her into the limo. She gave him a quick once over.
"You don't look bad yourself, Chuck."
They spent the ride to the ball sipping champagne and sharing a few heated kisses. Yes, this would be the right decision.

As soon as they had arrived, Serena stole her away for a 'talk'. Male problems, of course.
"Come find me at the bar." he told her, kissing her cheek before she walked away with her best friend.
A few young girls dared walk up to him, hitting on him, batting their eyelashes. They would be so honored if he would dance with them.
"I'm spoken for." he said, looking for his girlfriend in the crowd. One particular redhead didn't take the hint, and remained by his side.
"I won't tell her, you know." she said, sipping on her drink.
"I'm Chuck Bass. Everybody would know within two minutes." he sneered.
"Then let's meet up later." she said suggestively.
"He'll be with me later. Run along, little girl." Blair said smugly, walking up to her boyfriend. She put a possessive arm around his waist as he put one around her. The redhead walked away with a frown.

"I'm impressed, Bass." Blair said, looking up at him while dancing to some slow song.
"With what, may I ask?"
"The old Chuck Bass would've jumped in bed with that girl." she said softly.
"You're worth giving up my one night meetings." he told her. It was time. "Come outside with me. It's stuffy in here."

"The stars are beautiful tonight." she said, leaning against the gazebo railing. A ringlet of her perfect chocolate brown hair fell in her face. He brushed it away before taking her hand in his.
"They're nothing compared to you," he began, taking his time to enjoy her blushing before continuing, "Blair, we've had feelings for each other for years. I know that I've hurt you in the past. Our meetings on the rooftops, Tuscany...I never meant to do those things, Blair." he told her quietly, his fingers stroking her cheek. She bit her lip, remembering the pain those events inflicted.
"That being said, I want to do this right," he said, getting down on one knee as Serena told him, "Blair Waldorf. We're perfect for each other. Would you do me the honor of marrying me?" he asked, holding out the ring box. Her hand flew to her mouth as a few tears leaked out. She had been dreaming of this very moment for years. It couldn't have gone better.
Unable to find her voice, she nodded furiously. Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Surrounding people clapped and cheered as she flung her arms around his neck and jumped into him. She could feel his grin against her face. It was perfect, save for one thing. It had been a long time, but those three little words still had yet to be said from either one of them.
"I want to sleep over tonight. I have something to tell you." she whispered in his ear once she found her voice again.
