His forever
Note: A new chapter is up! I am so sorry that it took so long for me to update, but school has started (eww...) and I'm kind of , I hope you liked my story so far, and as always thank you for reading and reviewing! This is set during Hi, Society; but it contains some flashbacks to Seventeen Candles. As usual, Chuck's point of view. I hope you enjoy!
It has been one week since Blair's birthday party. One week since B and N officially broke up. One week since Chuck Bass slept with Blair Waldorf the second time. One week since- ... bloody hell, he had to stop this list!
Chuck smiled to himself on his way to the Dance Studio, while he reflected the conversation he just had with Nate.
„Something is different lately, she is lighter, happier, she's just... less Blair!"
Chuck felt his chest fill with pride upon hearing this and his smirk was getting even wider. Sure she is happier, since she broke up with you, Nathaniel! She is happy because she is with me; me and not you!
„She does have a certain... glow about her, doesn't she?", he said slowly, feeling ridiculously happy.
„Now my dad is in rehab, it feels like the pressure is of me and I can see Blair clearly. I don't know man, I think I might miss her.", Nate said.
Chuck scoffed. Sure. First, you fuck her best friend and later try to get together with her again, so your father's business deal doesn't blow up! You don't even visit her on your birthday, and now you miss her!
„You don't miss her, man!", he snickered.
Nate wouldn't try to get together with Blair, would he? No, he had missed his chance. But still, Chuck couldn't help but feel worried.
While practicing the dance for the Debutante Ball, he cast Blair a lot of glances and followed her with his eyes, whenever she brushed past him.
He knew their relationship had to be kept a secret, from Nate, Serena and everyone they knew, yet he didn't like seeing her on this Prince's arm.
Lost in his thoughts, he had no eyes for his own dance partner, he just stared into space and remembered the night of Blair's birthday.
After she had left him on the balcony, he had waited till midnight. When Nate didn't show up, he had mixed feelings about it.
Sure, he felt sorry for Blair, who looked utterly crushed and defeated, weak and totally not like her usual self. He wanted Nate to pay for standing her up on her own birthday, crushing her hopes and leaving her alone and hurt.
Still, the strongest feeling he felt was... relief. He was relieved that Nate didn't come to Blair's birthday, relieved that he didn't give her his mother's ring, relieved that he didn't get back together with her.
And then, Blair officially announced her break up with Nate, almost screaming it before fleeing into an empty bed room with... tears in her eyes?
Chuck clenched his jaw. You are a dead man, Nathaniel, he thought, before following Blair into the room.
He found her laying on a bed, her face burrowed in her arms. When she heard him coming in, she sat up and rolled her eyes.
„I'm not in the mood, Chuck. This is pretty much the worst birthday ever."
He smiled faintly:"Maybe it can be salvaged." Slowly, he pulled out the box from the jewelers he had hidden behind his back.
Blair sighed and spat:" What's that, our sex tape?"
Without saying anything, Chuck sat beside her and opened the box. He heard Blair gasp in surprise and smirked.
„It's the Ericson Beaman necklace...", she almost whispered.
Yes! Chuck screamed in his mind.
He had spent a lot of time thinking of what to get her as a present and then remembered what she said earlier that day, about the jewelry she had laid back for Nate and her mother. Without much thinking, he decided to buy her the necklace she wanted Nate to give her.
Well, maybe he did think about it a little. Why else would he have bought the present her boyfriend was supposed to give her...?
He was already taking the necklace out of it's box, while Blair weakly protested: „No, I couldn't..."
„Yes you can.", he interrupted her. He placed the necklace on her and adjusted it, lightly touching and caressing her neck while he was looking at her in a mirror.
She lifted her head and met his gaze on the mirror.
Chuck felt his throat get dry and said hoarsely: "Something this beautiful deserves to be seen on someone worthy of it's beauty..."
Blair's eyes widened a little, and she continued to look into the mirror. Her hand reached up and hesitantly touched the necklace.
„ I am sorry.", Chuck said and he meant it. They were still watching each other through the mirror, never meeting each other's eyes directly.
Maybe a metaphor for the awkwardness of this situation.
Who would have believed anyone who said that Chuck Bass made a girl expensive and romantic presents, or even said something as cheesy as before? The person who said that must have been drunk, stoned or insane.
But here they were, Chuck and Blair, Blair and Chuck, sitting together in a room with dimmed light and an extremely romantic atmosphere.
Slowly, Chuck turned his head and faced Blair directly, who was still fondling with the necklace. He swallowed and reached out with his hand for her's, and to his surprise she didn't refuse him, but softly took his hand.
His heart began to pound violently, when he felt her small hand holding his. The heat rose to his head. Blair bowed her head and touched his hands gingerly, touching his fingertips with her own and brushing over the palm of his hand.
In addition to the heat in his face, Chuck could feel something warm and cozy settle in his heart, something he had never felt before.
And before he knew what he was doing, he tilted his head and placed a soft kiss on Blair's shoulder, before leaning his head against it, feeling her body heat and breathing in her familiar scent.
She faced him and after a while, she kissed him softly on the lips. The fluttering in Chuck's stomach increased, as he replied to the kiss. He felt good, better than ever in his life. He felt warm, cozy and... loved.
So when they slowly sunk onto the bed with her in his arms, their love-making was so very different from the first time.
Loving, tender caresses instead of rough, lustfull passion.
After the sex, they settled on the bed tiredly and Blair fell asleep after a while. But all the time, she was holding Chuck's hand fiercly while he draped an arm over her protectively and cuddled close to her, his eyes never leaving her sleeping, peaceful face.
It had been a week since then. Blair had decided it would be the best if the kept their relationship a secret; from Nate and Serena, she explained.
But although he knew he was unrealistic, Chuck didn't want to have a secret affair. He wanted to be with her, officially, so everyone (especially the guys) could see she was his!
He thought about that all the way from the dance studio to her home, where they decided to meet.
As soon as he arrived there, he and Blair already were in a heavy make out session.
„I missed you...", Blair purred into his ear seductively.
He was on tp of her, kissing her long and fierce, until he needed to breath again.
Now, he thought. I am going to tell her now!
„You looked pretty hot on Prince's Theodore's arm today.", he began innocently.
„Is that what I am to you? An accessory?", she asked playfully, before kissing him again.
But Chuck broke the kiss. He wasn't finished yet.
„On his arm:Yes.", he answered her question and turned around, so she was on top of him.
„On me... you could be so much more..."
Well, the ones who don't know Chuck Bass would have difficulties understanding what he meant with that. Actually, there are three meanings hidden in that sentence:
Dump that jerk and go to the Ball with me!
Be my official girlfriend!
Something perverted, I suppose... (don't forget, we are still talking about Chuck Bass here!)
Blair decided to understand the first one of them.
„Yes, but I can't be on you remember!? Because you don't want Nate to find out! I donT want anyone to...", she explained smiling, while tugging a strand or hair behind her ear.
How wrong she was there! Chuck was more and more annoyed with dear Nathaniel, who cared what he thought? Besides, didn't Chuck want Nate to know? Or every other male on the planet? They should all know that Blair Waldorf was his!
He pouted slightly, but then smirked when she pulled him in another long kiss.
„You have to learn to... behave yourself first...", she murmured with a giggle, making his smirk become even wider.
Bling!
„Miss Blair, Mr Nate is here!", they heard Dorota shouted from downstairs.
Chuck groaned and fell on her bed again. Blair looked confused, but then adjusted her clothes and hair, put on a pair of ballerinas and went downstairs.
He was staying in her room, hiding from Nate, but he couldn't stop himself on eavesdropping on their conversation.
He quietly went to her half closed-door, holding his breath and listening to them.
„What are you doing here, Nate? ", she asked annoyed.
„Well, I, um... Look, after rehearsal I just, uh, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I mean, the ball's something we've talked about doing it since we were, like, 10. And I've given you every reason to hate me... ", Nate explained awkwardly.
„True. Keep going" She was curious now. Shit.
„And the Prince, he's a great dancer and all. But, is there any chance you'd go with me instead? For old times' sake?", he asked pleadingly.
„Nate, after what you pulled on my birthday the only thing we should be doing together is moving on.", he heard Blair sigh.
Yeah, right! Nathaniel didn't deserve any better!
„Yeah, I know.", Nate answered a little crushed. But, he didn't give up.
„Look, I haven't worn this sweater like forever, and I pulled it out today and found this."
What the...?! What was he doing! Oh, right, although Nate wasn't the brightest, he still knew how to soften the heart of a woman with romantic gestures. Sure, with his golden hair, blue, sparkling eyes and gentlemanlike manner, Nate was the dream of every girl. The knight in shining armor. Prince Charming. Blair's Prince Charming, Chuck thought bitter.
Nate knew that Blair couldn't resist him, so he purposely put on the sweater she gave him last christmas. He knew that would soften Blair's anger.
That bastard! Chuck fumed. How dare he try to get back together with her after what he did to her!
He then heard Blair gasp and whisper in a soft voice: „It's my pin... I sewed it there so you'd always have my heart on your sleeve."
The old Chuck Bass would have thrown upon hearing something so ... girly and romantic. But the current Chuck Bass was raging with jealousy. He narrowed his eyes. Yeah, although Nathaniel was acting so innocently, he knew damn well what he was trying to pull!
Why couldn't Blair give her heart to him? He would treasure it and hold on to it forever!
„I know. You know I figured you might need it back or something, if...", Nate asked innocently.
That god damn liar!
„No. It was a gift." , Blair answered hurriedly. A little to hurriedly for Chuck.
„The prince will understand. Maybe we should go to the ball together. As friends."
Bam! It felt like a punch in the face for Chuck, hearing Blair ask Nate out to accompany her to the ball, after she declined going with him. Why? What did Nate have what he didn't?
„Absolutely.", Nate said sweetly, making Chuck want to vomit.
„But only as friends.", Blair repeated worriedly.
„Just friends." Nate affirmed her.
Chuck felt his head spin and grabbed the door, digging his nails firmly into the wood.
Nathaniel would pay for this, he thought, a little worried about the hatred he was feeling towards his best friend.
The jealousy in him was almost overwhelming, killing every rational thought that came to his mind immediately.
Just friends? Sure! He knew Nate wanted to get Blair back, as she was free and happy now. Because of him, Chuck Bass! He was making her happy, why couldn't she see that? Why did it have to be Nathaniel?
Why couldn't it be him? But he wouldn't lose. He wouldn't lose Blair to any other guy.
Because now she was his, his only. She had said so herself, during their love-making on her birthday and he would do anything to keep her, he thought while clenching his fists firmly.
Because she was his, his forever!
Additional Note: OMG, I am so sorry! I wanted to write about the whole Hi, Society episode, but now I realize that would have been too much in one chapter... I hope you don't mind!
