Something about the Miami air brings joy to Chuck Bass. Maybe it's the memories that the chill, salty air bring. From his first kiss with Blair during a rainstorm or the time he propsed to her on the beach.
It's been almost two years and here he is. Chuck Bass standing there at the airport waiting for his taxi, which of course is 20 minutes behind schedule. Growing impatient, Chuck finally gets into his taxi and after realizing the driver is an old high school chum, it's time to get his story straight. You know what they say, practice makes perfect.
"Well well well, Chuck Bass. What the hell happened to you? You were here one second and the next? Poof.." The driver was identified as Andy, him and Chuck were on the same soccer team together.
"You know how it is, I was needed for a case out of the country. Then the firm called me and needed me for another." He says looking through his phone.
Once he got off the plane and went to claim his baggage the premade duffel was waiting for him. Stuff full of his old life. Everything he took with him when he left almost two years ago; his phone, wallet filled with pictures of him and Blair. Most of all his payment for the hit.
"Well man, here we are. The condos of Miami." Andy says pulling Chuck out of his deep thoughts.
The condo of Miami is like the upper east side of New York. Beautiful and extravagant homes located right on the beach. He bought his condo as a wedding gift for Blair, though she never knew. After a long shower and a fresh, clean outfit he was ready. Blair. The whole time he was gone, his last thought before bed was her and his first thought after he woke was her. He needed to speak to her and try to explain.
It's late in the afternoon and no luck with finding Blair. Tired and feeling defeated Chuck decides to head to the beach and clear his mind. He never thought that finding her would be so hard, he's known her since they were 4. Once on the outskirts of the sand he spots her. There she is, sitting in the sand looking as beautiful as ever. He long brown curls sit on top of her head, and she's wrapped in a purple and cream dress. Then he sees it. The most awful thing possible. His old friend Nate, sitting next to her laughing and he places a soft kiss on her head. He must of said something funny because then Blair lets out a giggle. That sound makes his stomach flip, it's his favorite sound in the world. Blair moves to face Nate and then something comes into view. It's a child. There it is, Nate and Blair with a baby. Chuck stops, gasps and dies a little. She didn't wait. She didn't care. She moved on, with his best friend.
He couldn't see her anymore. Not after the sight he just saw. The love of his life has moved on. Just about to head back home, he feels her behind him. He turns back, and there she is. Blair Waldorf standing right in front of him. It takes everything ounce of strength to not kiss her. Instead he's welcomed with a hand striking his face.
"You have some nerve Chuck Bass." She says through her teeth, while he rubs his hot cheek.
"Blair... I... Um.. Can we talk?" He asks cautiously.
"Are you kidding me?! You leave me for almost two years! And you leave me a note via email?! There's no way I'm going anywhere with you." Blair steps back and takes a hard look at the man she once loved. Though now she can't stand him.
"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to explain that I'm back for good. I sent you that email because it was just easier." He remembers the conversation he had with his boss demanding this being the last job he has to do. Chuck Bass is out.
"It's easier?! We were about to get married and you call off the wedding and leave me for almost 2 years. I deserved a hell of a lot more then some email. Chuck I loved you! Do you understand how I felt when I woke up and you were gone. It killed me." She takes another step back and he steps towards her, filling the gap between the two.
"Well obviously you moved on. I saw you over there with Nate." He points to Nate who's staring at them while holding a small child." And you had a baby with him. How nice Blair. Obvisouly you weren't to heartbroken over me leaving." Chuck runs his hand over his mouth trying to push back his tears.
"Chuck, yes that's my baby. Her name is Charlotte. But I'm not with Nate, we're friends. He's still hung up on Serena. And the baby isn't his, she's yours." Blair turns and heads back to the towel where Nate is sitting.
Chuck watches Nate greet her with a hug. He stands there frozen, unable to move or breathe. He has a child. He has a child with Blair. Then the realization hits him. She'll never forgive him. He not only left her in the middle of the night for 2 years but also their unborn daughter. Chuck watches as Blair sits with Charlotte in her lap laughing at her daughter. He always wanted children, she knew that. Now it changes everything. Chuck Bass must not only win back the heart of his soulmate but the heart of his child as well.
