Inspired by Korella May's awesome fic! :) If you haven't read it...you should!
This is a collection of one-shots that are B/C - centric. No specific timeline or plot. All they have in common is that they are all written in the same style...Each line of dialouge begins with the next letter in the alphabet. A-Z

Summary: Chuck is waiting for an answer.
"Are you high? You can't be serious?" Shock in her voice, her eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Believe me. I have never been this serious in my life" Determination in his eyes as he extends his hand to her.
"Chuck, really, now? Here?" Looking around the dimly lit ballroom, then back down at him.
"Do you intend on stalling the inevitable for much longer? You already know what your answer will be" He smirks confidently, but there is a tiny hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Even so…this is madness!" She admits, letting him know there is no real need for him to worry.
"FYI, Waldorf, every single person in this room is looking at us." His smirk turning into a smile at her reply. A genuine smile that reaches his eyes.
"God! I can't believe this is happening." She whispers, biting her lip.
"How can I convince you that it is?"
"I don't know what to say…"
"Just say yes, you know that is what you want!" He encourages her, a little impatient now.
"Keeping you on your toes, am I?" Her turn to smirk, knowing she has the upper hand.
"Looks more like on my knee, wouldn't you say?" He points out, raising his eyebrows.
"Mm, guess you're right…" She trails off, inspecting her fingernails meticulously. Trying to hide a devilish grin from appearing on her lips.
"…"
"Not really enjoying the wait, Waldorf"
"Oh, I'm sorry; I guess I got lost in thought there for a while. You were saying?" Sparks in her eyes as her gaze returns to him. Clearly enjoying the moment
"Polite as always. You know exactly what I was saying." He points out to her, motioning the box in his hand.
"Quite the impatient one, are we Bass?"
"Ravishing planned for later on tonight, definitely cancelled if you don't give me an answer soon." His voice like velvet as he delivers his threat.
"Seriously?" Raised eyebrows, challenging him.
"Thought it might help you make up your mind a little quicker" He smirks, reaching out for her hand.
"Unfruitful treat, you know you would suffer just as much." She looks down on their hands, tears beginning to burn in the corners of her eyes.
"Vast majority of the people in here – still staring." He reminds her jokingly, doing his best to ignore them himself.
"Well I guess they do deserve a happy ending...Are you sure?" Still a trace of hesitation in her voice.
"X-tremely sure. Do you really need to ask? I've been on one knee for an eternity" He reassures her, kissing her hand gently.
"Yes. My answer is yes. I love you." Tears in her eyes, sparkling like the diamond now adorning her left ring finger.
"Zero blood in my leg, you couldn't just have said so five minutes ago? I love you too." He laughs as he gets back up on both feet. Their audience clapping and cheering as he leans in and puts his lips on hers.
