"Mrs. Bass..." chuck whispered in Blair's ear early the next morning as he puller her closer to him.
" mmmmm.. Soon.. To .. Be.. "
"very soon, time to wake up."
She turned and faced him and cuddled into his nook.
"You're lucky I love you, Bass... So much so that I'm going to overlook the fact that you're attempting me to rid me of my beauty sleep."
Au contrare my love, beauty sleep is for the middle class. Your pores are way to perfect for a pillow right now..
A bath though they could use...
You drew me a bath? Damnit Chuck, just when I think you're getting soft on me... She gave him a wave of feather soft kisses before hopping out of bed all giddy and giggly.
He just lay in bed as he heard her dip her body in. He was grinning like a Cheshire cat at the sound of her humming Moon River.. This was really happening for them. All the hurt and all the pain, it led them to this place of blissful domesticity..
In less than a few days, all the doubters and the gossip will be silenced and the two of them will get the shot at the life they have always wanted, together..what would his father say? He wondered.
"Mr. Bass... This tub is awfully too big for one girl.."
His gorgeous nude fiancée summoning him from a deep porcelain tub or this lonely bed? "Coming Mrs. Bass..."
"Sooooooon to BE!" she yelled.
He stood in the door frame and watched her as she carried on, passing a washcloth along her ivory leg, her hair swept in a loose bun. She was completely unaware he was right there.
"Actually, you know what.. I'm going to call you Waldorf as many times as possible before I say I do.. You know, get it out of my system.."
"I'll always be Blair Waldorf, you know."
"The one and only. And I'll always be.."
"...Chuck Bass, yes honey, we know. I think the entire world knows."
"Oh shush, you love me. You love my good looks, killer charm, and the fact that my closet could give yours a run for its money."
He dipped in behind her and she leaned back against his chest.
I wouldn't have it any other way..
"Just imagine our kids, they'll be ruling the Upper East Side in the Lanvin mini collection," he laughed.
She was quiet.. Her hands running down his legs as she lay between them.
"Waldorf .. it's okay."
"It's not okay, Chuck. I mean, are we terrible people getting married so soon? What kind of parents are we..?"
"The kind that don't want to lose hope at having a real family, the kind that we ourselves didn't have growing up."
"you really mean that?"
"More than anything. The frustrations, the hang-ups, the despair, that's the old us. The new us, they deserve a shot at a happy life and a beautiful family.
The new us..I like them, though I hope they know how to scheme still.
Oh that never dies, you should know better. I was thinking..
Oh, no..
What if when we get to Europe.. We stay for a while.. Have a change of scenery.. Jet set on the weekends.. Enjoy each other.. Try again..
Yeah, that sounds just about as amazing as ever... Wait, did you say..
Try again. I want this life with you and only you Blair...and a million little you's..
And you's... Chuck, what has gotten into you?
You. Us. This. I have waited for what seems like forever for it to be this right..
And now it is.
Well than, what are we waiting for?
"we have no idea, can you get the show on the road? We've been out here a long while.."
Serena?
Who else would it be?
And me, too!
Nathaniel?
"Yes, Can you two hurry it up? We showed up at the plane last night and when you didn't show up we figured it was either really good or really bad."
Blair appeared in the doorway in a towel with Chuck in a robe behind her. "Oh you mean, like this good?" She flashes her engagement ring at her two best friends.
Serena started squealing "Ah, yes, yes, yes!" while Nate fell back on the bed and just screamed, "Finally!"
"Well done, Chuck, seriously its stunning," said Serena with Blair's hand tight in her grasp.
"What can I say, I aim to please."
Blair poked him playfully with her free hand, the both of them with matching grins.
"Alright then, lord knows you to we're up all night celebrating.. So let's get brunch and head to the plane, Nate stated."
The girls ran in the bathroom to get ready with the boys waiting for them over a glass of scotch as always.
"Glad you're taking control like a true best man Nathaniel."
"Really? Best Man?"
"Who else? Come on." The two hugged it out.
"You have no idea how happy I am for you, man. This is a long time coming. You and Blair are something like no other, one for the books, you know? You both drive each other up a wall, but you wouldn't be with anyone else."
"It took a lot to get here, you know that better than a lot of people"
"True, but the greats are never easy... Ever."
"Just look at you and Serena."
"Here you go again—"
"What? Please, I'd rather drop dead than see her end up with Humphrey. You two make sense, and not because of the money, but because you always lead back to each other. Its fate, you'll see. It will be one of those things that work out for all of us."
"We'll see man."
"We sure will."
Serena was curling Blair's hair, while Blair applied her makeup.
"I cannot believe this is actually happening right now, I think I need to be pinched."
"You? I'm the one getting married," Blair yelled
"Yeah—to the love of your life! How perfect is that? I always knew you and chuck would pull it together. Its destiny, besides no one else could deal with you both."
"I take that as a compliment, thank you. People of power are never push overs. And what about you? When are you going to marry the love of your life?"
"Are you kidding? Dan and I are long gone…"
"S, Dan is not the love of your life."
"B, don't start—"
"Two people who are that genetically blessed are meant for each other, it's fate."
"Our kids would be beautiful ..."
"Beautiful? Gorgeous! Chuck would have to hire security for our nieces and nephews at pre-school, they'll be the talk of the town."
"Yeah, but looks aren't everything.."
Blair grabbed the curling iron from Serena, set it down, and pulled Serena on her lap.
"S, you and Nate... It's inevitable. The loyalty, the constant concern, the fireworks, it's always been there and will reignite. You deserve love. All these other guys and girls over the years are just fillers, you know, to pass the time."
She was smiling. Blair kissed the side of her head.
"Now, let's return to this being about me because I'm getting married in 3 days!"
"Yes. You. Are!"
The two gentlemen appeared in the doorway. "Ladies, we're boarding a plane, not going to cotillion," Chuck drawled.
"Oh, Bass so clever.. Thank God I'm marrying you for love and not laughs."
"Oh, I'll give you laughter, Waldorf... I'll just do that move, you know the one tha—"
"Enough! I made reservations at Norma's so hop to it, Serena, don't even think about picking up that brush."
"But Nateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm not ready."
"Stop it, You're perfect as usual, let's go!"
The headed out and B grabbed her hand. "What did I tell you? Could you two just speed it up, Chuck ad I have a pool going and my window of opportunity is narrowing."
"Chuck turned around, "You're just jealous princess because it's in the bag for me. I got this, S—just you wait and see."
"God, I'm so happy you two have each other," she laughed.
