I wrote this a while ago. Hope you like it. Basically, it's Victor, Victrola with a huge twist.
I know I have many mistakes, you don't have to tell me.

Blair was standing in front of a large wood door. A number was engraved on the door: 1812.
''There's no backing out now. '' thought Blair as she knocked on the door.
Chuck was very surprised to see Blair on his doorstep, make up running down her beautiful, fair skinned face.
'' Mind if I come in, Bass?'' asked Blair before she made her way to his living room.
'' Make yourself at home.'' chuckled Chuck.'' I was about to take a shower. You can either sit in the living room or join me.''
When she didn't answer him with a feisty remark, Chuck knew something was wrong. Instead of walking toward his bathroom, he sat down next to Blair on his expensive couch.
'' Blair, tell me what's wrong. '' he simply said. Sometimes, it was better to go straight to the point.
'' Later, Bass. I'd like to watch a movie. Do you have , by any chance,a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's or Roman Holiday?''
'' No, I don't think so. I am afraid that I don't have any movies that aren't rated R, dear.''
'' Too bad, I guess I'll have to find something else to do. Do you mind if I look around?''
'' Of course not. Try to find something interesting.''
Blair came back a couple of minutes later with what looked like a shoe box. ' Pictures ' was written in big, blue letters on top.
'' What is it?'' asked Chuck?
'' I don't know, I found it under a pile of school books.''
'' I guess we'll have to open it to find out, then. ''
Blair took set the box on a table and opened it. She gasped at what she saw and motionned for Chuck to take a look. That's when Chuck realized that it was the box. When Chuck had turned thirteen, his father had hidden it so he wouldn't look at it anymore. According to Bart Bass, his son was too old to mourn over dreams that would never come true. Blair had found the box and he wish she hadn't. Oh, how he wish she hadn't.
'' Chuck, was does it mean? Why is it full of pictures of my birthday parties? Why is it full of pictures of me?''
Chuck didn't answer and stood up to get himself a drink, a strong one, preferably.
'' Chuck? Chuck! Answer me, please.''
The alcohol was slowly, but surely getting to him.
'' What do you want me to say, Blair? You want to know? Fine! I had a stupid childish crush on you back when these pictures where taken! Happy to know the young Chuck Bass has a heart? Go ahead and make fun of me, Princess! I couldn't care less.''
Blair stood up slowly as realization hit her.
'' You...liked me?'' she asked and, as soon as she did, she wish she hadn't. '' What a pathetic question.'' Blair thought.
She sat down next to him on the burgundy colored couch and took his left hand in hers. She felt him tense and then relax. He inhaled deeply before saying '' I did, but father woudn't hear it. He said you were supposed to end up with Nathaniel. My father thought it was an inevitability.''
'' I'm sorry.'' whispered Blair so close to his ear, it made him shiver.
'' Don't be. The past is the past. ''
'' Do you mean it?''
Chuck couldn't understand what she was trying to say. '' Mean, what?''
'' Do you really think that the past is the past? Do you really think that there is no way, for us, to end up together in the end? Do you really think we could not have a future...together?''
'' What I mean doesn't matter. All that matters is that, in the end, I'll watch you walk down the aisle in a beautiful white dress, waiting to become Blair Archibald.''
'' What If I walked down the aisle to become Blair Bass?''
A knot formed in Chuck's stomach. Blair Bass, Blair Bass, Blair Bass. It was a melody to his ears and a song to his heart. He felt her getting closer to him.
'' What are you trying to say, Princess?''
She sighed before saying.'' That the Princess doesn't always end up with the Queen's favorite.''
Then, just like that, she kissed him. For the first time in his life, Chuck didn't want to push the kiss further. Chuck and Blair were an inevitability, it would happen sooner or later.
