Chapter 6- Indulgent Ice Cream
Sitting in a booth in an ice cream shop, Blair looked at the menu. She hadn't had ice cream for a while now. Her idea of binging was half a cup of yoghurt.
Chuck had brought her to an ice cream shop. How sweet.
She didn't want ice cream.
At least that's what she told herself.
Deep down, she was craving whatever had the most sugar on the menu.
Then Blair realized, she tells herself a lot of things.
She used to tell herself that she loved Nate.
She used to tell herself that she despised the heinous Chuck.
She used to tell herself that Serena was skinnier, prettier.
She didn't do that anymore.
Or so she hoped.
"So, what would you two like today?"
"A chocolate ice cream with sprinkles" Chuck was so original.
Both the waiter and Chuck turned to Blair. She hastily looked at the menu and chose what had caught her eye before.
"A rainbow ice cream with chocolate sauce, please"
Chuck smiled to himself. That probably had the most sugar on the menu.
Their ice creams came, and Blair dug into hers, a smile on her face. For once, she didn't care what others thought. She didn't plan how she was going to escape to the bathroom after.
Blair's face was one of pure joy, and Chuck wouldn't admit it, but he liked seeing her that way.
Both were so wrapped up in their ice cream, they didn't notice the fake blond gaping at them, before opening her hideous orange phone, and snapping a picture of the two. She sent it to Gossip Girl.
What a surprise.

Spotted: B & C indulging in ice cream at a local ice cream store. C, we understand, staying in school was never one of your stronger traits. B, what a surprise, skipping school and then skipping out on your diet? tsk tsk, my how C has tainted you so. And what would dear N, think? He was last spotted with his head down, drinking his worries away. Don't worry, I'll be the first to let you know N.
The big question on everyone's mind,
Will C leave B like he's left so many others? Or will B throw C away like last year's Manolos?
Only time will tell, but I'll be the first one to know.
You know you love me,
Gossip Girl

Nate stared at his phone in shock. Involuntarily, he clenched his fists. So Chuck was back to fucking Blair behind his back again? He looked back at the picture attached to Gossip Girl's text, Blair never ate ice cream. Never. Not when he had gotten her some for dessert. Not when he had prepared a romantic dinner, and included low fat frozen yogurt, for fuck's sake.
He told Blair that he hadn't wanted anything to do with her. She didn't know that she would go running of into Chuck's arms again. Again. It was all his fault, if he'd just hadn't let Blair leave, she never would have gone to Chuck. He honestly just wanted a break, a breath of fresh air to clear his head. He hadn't thought she would take it so seriously. After all, she would always have come back within a few days, when he asked her to. Then again, this was New Blair he was thinking about. She didn't come crawling back to anybody.
Chuck didn't deserve Blair, that womanizing scum did not even deserve to be near Blair. He would make sure of that. And Blair would come back to him, like she always had.
He was so sure of himself.
Then again, this was the adorably naive Nathaniel Archibald we're talking about.

Blair and Chuck finished their ice cream with smiles on their faces. Neither had gotten the text from Gossip Girl.
"So, where would you like to go next B"
"Tiffany's"
"The jewellery store?"
A line from Breakfast at Tiffany's, how sweet of him.
"Yes, the one where nothing bad can never happen"
He couldn't be the only one quoting Audrey Hepburn.
"Why"
"Because I need a new ring"
"Uh, Blair, I hate to bring Nathaniel into this, but I'm not Nate. We're not getting married yet. Why are you buying yourself an engagement ring?"
Blair sighed impatiently.
"Yes, well not now, but we will be eventually"
He actually stared at her, his face betraying all his emotions that he liked to keep inside.
"Again, I'm not Nate. How long were you guys going out before you told him you were getting married?"
"Shut up and stop bringing him into the conversation. Let's go"
"Blair,"
Another impatient sigh.
Wow, B you should, learn some patience; I hear it's a virtue.
"I'm not getting an engagement ring, you heinous idiot. I need a ring to replace the old ruby one"
"The one Nate gave you?"
"Yes"
"Why do you need to replace it"
Blair was frustrated now, and she thought he was so much smarter than Nate.
Well Chuck Bass was smarter than Nate in one way at least. But that included the bedroom.
"Well, seeing as I have a new boyfriend, I didn't want to wear an old ring from my ex of all people."
"Oh,"
He didn't see that one coming, but was grateful that she had thought about it. Being with Blair intoxicated him, and he couldn't help but feel as though his brain was in a fog.
He wondered why he wasn't happy. Then he remembered a little incident not 24 hours ago.
Blair was taking a shower after their recent sex session.
He was taking a little nap, almost ready to surprise her with a little shower sex, when he spotted something on her vanity, nestled in a perfect ring stand.
It was the ruby ring, the one Nate had given her. The one Chuck had helped pick out.
He was surprised at the feelings that coursed through him.
Jealousy, hurt, anger, the list could go on.
What the fuck?
Blair was still wearing the old "promise ring" from her ex?
Did this still mean that she wasn't over him yet?
Fuck, she wore the fucking ring while they were fucking on her fucking bed which had her fucking nightstand beside it, which stood a fucking picture of her and fucking Nate. Holding hands.
He clenched his fist in anger.
Why wasn't she over him?
Didn't she say that she chose him?
Or was it because he was the only one to have stopped her.
He couldn't believe it.
He picked up her precious ring, and clenched it in his hand. Then he took the ring stand and put it in her vanity.
He dressed, then left a note, saying that his Dad needed him.
Then he proceeded to leave and drown his sorrows in a glass of scotch. Or two.
He still held her fucking precious ring.
New emotions coursed through him yet again.
Guilt.
What a powerful five letter word.
He was surprised that Blair hadnt noticed the ring gone, but he guessed that it was because she was planning on replacing it.
He couldn't believe it.
She really did choose him.
He really was becoming as oblivious as Nate.
Ugh, Nathaniel.
xoxo
At the sparkling haven of Tiffanys, he looked at the rings, marvelling at how many there were.
Blair spent her time picking and choosing. She wanted the perfect one. And she knew she should have let Chuck pick, but was worried that his taste wasnt as good, as well, Nates.
She looked at the rings, and decided that she couldnt decide on one.
She turned to look at Chuck, who was actually looking at rings.
She giggled like a little girl. Chuck Bass, looking at rings.
She noticed the one he was looking at.
It was a perfectly cut diamond, with two pear shaped diamonds on either side, both of which made the set look almost like a butterfly. It was perfect.
"Wow Chuck, I didn't know that your taste was as good as Nate's, that ring is gorgeous."
It took her precisely a second to realize how hurtful those words were. They had just come out of her mouth, she really wished she had a time machine.
Before she could apologize, Chuck had turned to her with a wicked smile
"B, you probably wouldn't believe that your perfect-ass boyfriend needs help, but I was the one who picked out almost every gift that you received from him."
Deep down, in the heart everyone thought was nonexistent, Chuck was hurt. She didn't believe that he could be as good as Nate.
She flew at him, wrapping her tiny arms around him, hugging herself to him. He was shocked for a moment, then let hugged her back.
Reaching up to whisper in his ear,
"I'm sorry, but if what you said was really true, I loved everyone of those gifts."
"Then let's get this ring"
He paid for the ring, like any perfect gentlemen would do.
She smiled and hugged him back.
Wearing the ring on her finger, she felt perfectly Audrey, hugging her true love outside Tiffany's.
Perfect.
AN: Sorry for the late update, I was really busy. I overcharged my card and am now working on paying my parents back. Well, the miu miu bag and crystal heels were worth it. And those 3 inch Manolo boots i've been lusting after. Well I won't be buying anything for a while. Lol.
Anyways, thanks for the reviews everyone! It's nice to know that you love my story as much as i do (kidding)
