The next morning Blair Waldorf awoke in the arms of Chuck Bass. She was exactly where she wanted to be the rest of her life. On her other side was the beautiful Serena Vander Woodsen with drool on her pillow and her blonde mass of curls a mess. This scenario was her past, present, and future; a thought that made her smile even if things were going to get a little crazy with S having a baby.
Chuck opened his eyes and stretched his arm over Blair's head. "Good morning beautiful. " Her future husband for sure.
"Merry Christmas Mr. Bass. I am quite excited for everyone to open their gifts," Blair commented as she crawled over Chuck and off the bed. He laughed and tapped Serena on the shoulder. She groaned and opened her eyes.
"I was hoping you guys wouldn't try to wake me up." She pulled the blankets off of her and rolled onto her back. "Have you talked to Nate or Dan?"
The two shook their heads and Serena sighed. Blair peeked out the window to find it's still snowing, and then headed to the bathroom with robe in hand. Once she was in the bathroom, she washed her face and started the shower. Chuck and Serena started their own conversation once she was gone.
"So did you bring it?" Serena questioned as she sat up to look at him. Chuck smiled and nodded. "Oh Chuck she's going to love it, I am so excited for you two!"
Chuck stretched once again before getting out of bed. He crossed the room to his dresser and opened the top drawer. Under a pile of shirts he found a small box that was wrapped in metallic silver paper. He looked over at the blonde who was watching him intently. "It's in here, S."
Serena grinned from ear to ear as she crawled out of bed. "Oh Chuck, I am so excited! Go put it at the top of the tree so she can't see it. Then at the end of gift opening you can do it in front of everyone!"
The two couldn't stop smiling, as the bathroom door opened and Blair stepped out in her robe with her damp hair swinging above her shoulders. She looked at the two and raised an eyebrow. "Why in the world are you two so happy?"
"Secrets," Serena joked as she opened the bedroom door and bounced out of the room.
"Secrets don't make friends, S!" Blair yelled at the blonde. Chuck held the box behind his back as he made his way over to Blair. He kissed her on the forehead before exiting the room. Blair sighed and made her way over to the dresser to pick out clothes. Those two were up to something and that could never be good.
Dressed in a short red cocktail dress, Blair Waldorf curled her hair and placed a red bow in her hair before she sauntered into the living room to be greeted by the rest of the house. They already had the gifts in piles at their feet, so Blair sat down next to Chuck, assuming those were hers. Dan was seated next to Serena talking quietly, while Jenny and Nate were talking quite loudly about Christmas and how it was her favorite holiday. Chuck on the other hand was silent in his red velvet robe and whiskey in hand. He was quite the character and that's what she loved about him.
"Oh you party poopers, I believe we should open some gifts! It is Christmas after all," Blair commented as she reached for her first gift. Jenny clapped and reached for one of hers. The rest of the gang sighed and grabbed their first of many presents to open. Blair just smiled and opened her first one.
After the gift opening everyone was pleased with the outcome. Dan got some novels, a watch, and a cabbage patch doll, courtesy of Blair, and wasn't even arguing with Serena. Jenny and Nate got some lame presents that Blair could care less about, and she couldn't even remember what she got them. Chuck received more liquor, a couple of shirts, and cigars; the perfect concoction for Mr. Bass. Serena got a beautiful dress from Little J, some book of poetry, and some fabulous shoes which she couldn't wear anytime soon due to pregnancy. Blair on the other hand received a dress, jewelry, another copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's, and a book of poetry; the funny thing was nothing was from Chuck.
"Hey you, why didn't you get me anything?" Blair asked him with a pouty face. Chuck laughed and pointed up to the top of the tree. Serena started clapping and Blair looked very confused. She squinted and realized that at the top there was something shiny besides the star. Chuck got up and walked over to the tree. He grabbed the box and walked back over to Blair. The box was handed over and Blair looked at it in awe. What could he have possibly have gotten her?
The brunette pressed her lips together as she tore open the paper and looked at the blue box. Ear rings possibly? As she went to open to, the air in the room got heavier. Inside the box was the most gorgeous silver ring in crested with diamonds she'd ever seen. Speechless she looked up at Chuck. His eyes were starting to water.
"What's going on? Chuck, this is beautiful."
Chuck was silent as he started to bend down. Her breath caught in her throat as he knelt down on one knee and smiled at her. "Blair, I've been meaning to ask you this question for a really long time."
She couldn't believe what was going on right in front of her; Chuck Bass was down on one knee right in front of her. This was a sight she never thought she'd see. "What are you doing Chuck?" she whispered as tears started to stream down her face.
"Ever since the night we shared at Victrola I have not been able to stop thinking about you. Your red lips and your curly hair had be hooked. I've been through so much over the past couple of years and you have been here right by my side no matter what damage I've caused. I've gained the reputation of the drug using, womanizer type, but recently that is not the life I want to lead. You told me you love me Blair Waldorf, and I love you too.."
"Chuck you don't have to do this."
"Yes I do Blair, I am madly in love with you. I don't want to be with anyone else. So will you consider marrying me? Making me the happiest man in the world and taking my hand in marriage? I know we're young and we have no idea what we're doing but I promise that we can figure it out as long as we have each other. Blair Cornelia Waldorf, will you marry me?"
Blair thought she was going to pass out after she heard his speech. Chuck Bass had just purposed to her. Without saying anything Blair nodded and everyone in the room started clapping and cheering. Everyone was in tears as Chuck placed the ring on Blair's hand. The group all formed a circle and hugged the couple. Blair looked Chuck in the eyes, knowing this was her future; Chuck Bass is her future.
