A/N: Again, sorry for the delayed update! Few hours after my last update, I got a news that I got accepted to the law school that I have been eyeing for a while now. I know this is personal and you probably would not care, but I got consumed with anything connected to being a law school freshman stuff.
I appreciate all the reviews, favorites, and alerts. Thank you so much! This will be second to the last chapter. And, have you guys watched or read about 'The Philadelphia Story'? I think that is how it will work out for Chuck, Blair and Dan. Just saying! =)
It is a beautiful morning. The weather is just right. It is exactly 3 days before the wedding and Blair woke up knowing this fact. She is quite disappointed when she woke up alone. Chuck stayed at Lily's home last night. He said that they need to talk about business because he will be taking two weeks off for their honeymoon. But Blair knows that Chuck's meeting with Lily is a lot more than that. Chuck needs to talk his feelings out. And aside from her, Blair knows that Chuck can only speak his heart and mind with Lily. Then she remembered that she might not be spending the night with Chuck later too. He has this scheduled fooling around with Nate, one last time before he becomes a married man. Yes, they are getting married and that makes it all okay. She smiled. And then her phone rang.
"Good morning, Beautiful! Did I wake you up? Or you didn't think of calling me first to start your day?" Chuck said on the other line faking an upset tone.
"Hi, Bass! I just woke up 3 minutes before you called and I was about to call you but I got disappointed that you weren't in bed with me. You know how much I love morning cuddles."
"My bad, Bass. I should have gone there sooner," then Blair heard footsteps then saw Chuck at the door of her bedroom. "I'll make it up to you, my Queen B."
Blair run into Chuck excitedly, even child like. She feels like she hasn't seen him for a year when it has only been eight hours. Chuck kissed her in the temple, then on the cheeks, then on her lips. Blair folded her legs around Chuck's hips while hugging him so tight. Chuck carried her to the bed then looked at her in the eye.
"My baby missed me so much!" Chuck said this as if really talking to a child. "How do I make it up for not waking up beside you?"
"You already saved yourself by showing here right now! Can you bring me to the loft after our breakfast? I feel like showing Humphrey that I will be officially running around using the limo in three days."
"Of course. You know I also have this thing with Nate, right? And I trust you. I trust us. I us this wonderful love we have for each other."
"If you only said that earlier, we have not wasted a whole year of making out and more." Blair said seductively. "But, I would not want this relationship any other way."
"So what do you like for breakfast, other than me?"
"If you are not on the menu, I would just stick with coffee. "
"Done. Dorota will be setting up breakfast downstairs. "
"Have I told you that Nate is now going out with Rainna? They seem to work out and they really like each other. She will.."
"If you are telling me that she will be on the fooling around ceremony with Nate later, I am telling you Basstard that you will be spending the whole day with me and Dan on the loft. I think you are way hotter than Nate after getting drunk and I would not risk Rainna seeing that."
"You look hot when your jealous. But I am telling you that she will be going home to Chicago today so it will just be me and Nate." Chuck said with a peck on the lips. "Let's go and shower."
"Great idea, Mr. Waldorf"
"Now, Nate is right! I am totally whipped." As Blair heard Chuck admit this she was laughing and leading Chuck to the shower.

Dan is waiting for Blair in his loft. This will be the last time that he will be with her before she gets married. Blair told her that the only thing changing is her last name but she will still be the same and they can still be friends. But Dan knows that this will be quite impossible. Chuck Bass would allow it but not as often as he would want to.
So, Dan made sure that today will be special. He chose "500 Days of Summer" because he believes that they are Tom and Summer. As cheesy and as lame as it may sound, he was the only who thought of their short time together that they are meant for each other. He set up a projector, which he borrowed from Lily, in front of the couch where she fell asleep on his lap. He decided that he will give her white roses so that he will have his own trademark flower that hopefully Blair will remember him whenever she will a white rose. Lastly, there is a balloon saying "Congratulations!"
He ordered pizza, burger, fries, and ice cream. These are the un-healthy and un-UpperEastSide food she enjoys eating but wouldn't admit it. Then there is a cold champagne to complete the whole celebratory mood. His friend will soon be marrying, the woman he wants not to be his friend is marrying another man soon.
"Humphrey, this is great. Still, a little lame but I am touched that you did this for me!"
"Glad you liked it, Summer!" Dan said teasingly.
"First, where did you get this expensive projector? Second, don't make me your Summer." Blair then pressed the remote and the movie started playing.
This is not a love story, but a story of boy meets girl….
"I did not see that coming. Very appropriate."
"Dan, you did call me Summer so don't make me believe that you didn't see that one coming. Thank you!" Blair said calmly. She knows that Dan is a great choice but love isn't choosing. You can't choose love, it choose you.
"I know. And I will be forever be thankful for that one holiday that Serena and Chuck left because we found each other. And even if it did not worked out romantically, I had you as my friend, that would be more than enough."
"You should go fight for your Serena, Dan. I know that deepest down inside you, it is still her."
"You are the one who told me that I should not be too much available for Serena. I know that my feelings for her will always linger. But I want her to be the one fighting for me. I want her to choose me because she choose me and not because I am the only available option. I want Serena to realize that we are inevitable. Wait, did I just mocked Chuck Bass? I feel like washing my tongue for saying that" Dan left a heartily laugh.
"You are right, Serena should realize that and I know that she will, soon. And may I remind you that you are talking about my future husband."
"He really is so lucky to have you!"
"And I am lucky to have him, too. I know that not many people see him as the romantic but he is. And he carries me. He hurts me, yes, but he is the only one who can mend the bruises and pieces of my heart. I can't imagine living without him. I know that our relationship has always been complicated but for us it is us. If it would be simple then it would not be Chuck and Blair"
"After that speech, I fell in love with you Waldorf!" Dan sort of mean it but he said it jokingly, because he knows where Blair's heart is and he would not want to be the one taking her happiness away from her. But, he also now realizes that it will forever be Serena. Serena is her one true love. He may fall in love many times but it will always come back to her.
Then, Dan feel Blair leaning on his shoulders.
"Hey, Miss are you trying to get me killed? Chuck would definitely kill me or send me out of New York."
"Chuck trusts me. And I am just enjoying the moment. I promised him I will not lean on other men's shoulder but I'll tell him that this is an exception because you made me knew.."
"Knew what?"
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.
"Well. It kind of fits in my statement. Seriously, You are such a good guy, intelligent, film buff, art-sy, and semi-handsome, but I would always choose Chuck no matter what."
"Like I will always be there for Serena, like now, Oh, Serena why are you calling? Where? I'll go there, right now!"
"What happened to you waiting for her to fight for you?"
"She just did. And unlike you and Bass, we don't wait for one year for an I Love You. She realize what I want her to realize and we will be trying. Come on, I'll bring you home!" then a knock.
"Hey I am just picking up the future Mrs. Bass!" then he entered the loft and kissed Blair.
"What happened with Nate?"
"We enjoyed ourselves but we decided to retire early. He told me how annoyingly whipped I am when I told him I can't sleep two straight nights without you."
"Ehem. Maybe you two can continue that at your penthouse. I am really in a hurry, I need to catch that subway to get to Serena asap." Dan said conscious about the time.
"You can ride with us in the limo." Chuck said as he steps out of the loft while Blair went back inside to get her purse. Blair and Dan looked at each other while hearing it. But nevertheless, Dan ride with them. The whole trip is surreal and calm. Blair is holding Chuck's hand all the time while constantly bantering with the nervous Dan.
When they arrived at the Waldorf's penthouse, Dan is so excited and get off the limo first.
"You go ahead, Dan, we will be heading somewhere else. Kiss Serena good night for me, well that is kinda gross, just tell her good night. And please, stay away from my side of the room and my sheets."
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, BCW, B?"
"See you in our wedding."
Dan smiled at Chuck and nodded.
