Enjoy it! 1x18 Much "I do" About Nothing
"We are gathered here today…."
"Don't you understand? I'm not supposed to want you. My body isn't supposed to crave yours and my heart sure as hell isn't supposed to care" Blair screamed at him with tears streaming down her face. "It isn't easy. We aren't easy but I still care even after everything. I still care"
Chuck stared at her, his heart hurting at the sight of her in tears but he couldn't back down now. Not when she was finally admitting that there was something between them
"Then why do you?" Chuck whispered as he came closer to her
"Because I…

"Blair, as maid of honor I have other things to take care of. Please fix this thing with Georgina." Serena said to Blair over the phone trying to balance a tray of coffee and the bridesmaids dresses.
"Fine, but don't ruin my dress" Blair said and hung up. She put her phone in her clutch and told Dorota to call the elevator.
"Don't get your la-perlas in a bunch, Miss Blair" Chuck said to her in a fake polish accent.
Clearly startled, Blair gasped "Who, what, when, where, why?"
Chuck smirked "We were late plotting up against Georgina, we must've dozed off"
"And you were in the guest room"
"I just came in" Chuck said to her looking amused
"Why, it's not like you to wake up at 8 a.m" Blair said irritated
"Now, that's not entirely true now is it?" Chuck said to her
"Nothing that requires a third party" Blair said
"It was one time. It was chilly" Chuck said remembering the time he woke up at 7 a.m to watch Blair sleeping
"Enough about the past. Before we landed on the bed we actually landed on a good idea." Blair said changing the subject
"We need Brooklyn boy" Chuck said grimacing at Dan's name
"Trust me, I'm not excited either"
-Xchuck and blairX-
"If you wanna reflect alone together…."
"Nate, finally" Serena said out of breath to Nate over the phone
"What's wrong?" Nate said
"I've been trying to reach you for like hours. Where were you?" Serena explained sitting on one of the hotel's couches
"I was with my dad. He's back and then Chuck and Blair stopped me to find something out about Dan's whereabouts." Nate answered
"Ah, ok. Listen, you know Bart adores those black ties, don't you? And there aren't any at Bentley's, so I was wondering if you'd lend him your black tie you wore at Cotillion" Serena said motioning one of the bridesmaids to get coffee
"I'll do that. Bye, S" Nate said
"Bye, love you" Serena said blowing a kiss onto the phone
"Love you too" Nate said and hung up.
-Xchuck and blairX-
"Didn't you know? I'm the crazy bitch around here"
After Nate told them where Dan was, Blair and Chuck went to Brooklyn to find him there in some hall.
"Humphrey" Blair yelled nearly making Dan fall down the stairs he was climbing.
"Blair, Chuck" Dan said somewhat annoyed
"We need to trick Georgina and you are the perfect person to do that with" Chuck explained leaving out the formalities
"I'm not a schemer" Dan said confused
"Please, except for me and Chuck no one is. But, Georgina doesn't know you as good as Nate or Serena. Or Chuck for that matter" Blair said disgusted at the end of the sentence
"And now you need me to trick her because she tricke to believe she was another person. And thinks that she's in love with me" Dan said understanding
"Truly Humphrey, you're fast" Blair said and motioned for Chuck and Dan to follow her.
After entering Chuck's limo, Dan called Georgina and made plans to meet her at Central Park.
"So, Serena told me that you were kinda crazy" Dan said
"I know. She says everything about everyone. She hasn't any moral." Georgina said
"Yeah, I got that from all those people hating her" Dan exclaimed. He looked around for Chuck's sign and saw it. Great, plan is starting. "Oh, look. It's Chuck and Blair. Let's talk to them"
"Nah, I don't think so" Geogina said
"Why, got something to hide, G?" Blair said
"We hought you might wanna visit ome people. Invited them. So G, still remember your parents?" Chuck said smirking

"Daughter, we'll be sending toy off to Bootcamp again." Mother Sparks said
"At least i lasted longer than Lohan" Georgina said
"Didn't you know G? I'm the crazy bitch around here" Blair said and got into Chuck's limo and together with Chuck drove to the hotel where the ceremony would be held.
-Xchuck and blairX-
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today in the face of this company to watch this man and this woman totally fix things up.
"The wedding ceremonny was beautiful Lily and Mr. Bass you look dashing in this suit" Blair commented on the new married couple.
"Thank you Blair, I'm sure you had a pleasant afternoon with my son" Bart commented sensing her good mood
"Yes, he's quite the gentleman when he wants to be" Blair said loud enough for Chuck to hear.
He stood up and took his champagne glass in his hand and got everyone's attention.
"I'd like to propose a toast. My father is someone who goes after what he wants, and Lily van der Woodsen was no exception. In typical Bass man fashion his pursuit was direct, and at times not exactly subtle." He said and then out his cards down. He continued "One thing I learned about my father's courtship of Lily is the importance of perseverance. That in the face of true love you don't just give up, even if the object of your affection is begging you too. And one thing I learned from Lily is the importance of forgiveness. She gave my father the gift of a second chance and in kind I watched him become someone actually worthy of that gift. And one day I hope I'll be lucky enough to find someone who will do the same for me." He said all of this looking Blair straight in the eyes "To the happy couple"
Bart and Lily started dancing the traditional bride and groom dance when Chuck noticed Blair leave the room and run up the stairs. He excused himself from Nate and started following her.
He saw her wiping her tears away.
"Blair.." Chuck started
"I'm fine." Blair cut him off
"You're lying. Your eyes do that thing where they don't match your mouth" Chuck said smirking
"You want to know the truth? Let's tell the truth. I am so tired of feeling this way! It's not fun anymore. It's pain. And you know why?" Blair asked him
"I don't know" Chuck said clueless
"Don't you understand? I'm not supposed to want you. My body isn't supposed to crave yours and my heart sure as hell isn't supposed to care" Blair screamed at him with tears streaming down her face. "It isn't easy. We aren't easy but even after everything I still care. I still care"
Chuck stared at her, his heart hurting at the sight of her in tears but he couldn't back down now. Not when she was finally admitting that there was something between them
"Then why do you?" Chuck whispered as he came closer to her
"Because I…love you. I am completely in love with you" Blair said and watched Chuck's eyes wide in realization that some did love him. He closed the space between them and took her in his arms kissing more passionately than he ever did. He pulled away and looked her in the eyes and uttered the words they'd been waiting for months
"I love you too"
Blair kissed Chuck slowly and she pulled away when she heard someone whistling
"Nate" both of them shrieked
"Sorry, you two are just so adorable" Nate said
"Chuck Bass isn't adorable." Chuck said
"Oh, yes he is." Balir said and kissed him giggling.
One week later
"I can't believe we're spending the holidays together at the Hamptons" Blair said excitedly to Serena
"God, girl you're so giddy" Serena commented on the light mood of the usually drama queen Blair
"Why shouldn't I be? My best friend is happy, finally I might add. Chuck told me he loves me and Nate is finally not obssesing over you in secret. Everything's perfect"
"I can only agree" Serena said and pulled Blair in a hug before they went in the Bass limo.
