One of her forgotten memories may have been tied in with this. She hadn't even noticed the gold band that was now occupying her ring finger. Wait---now that she thought about it…there was a preacher at some point---or was that a man dressed as Elvis? Either way, someone married the two of them. And now she was Mrs. Jack Bass?
"Did you plan this?" Blair's eyes narrowed at him.
"Not in the least. I can't complain about it though. If I should have to be married to anyone, I would hope it to be you."
"That's almost creeper talk." Blair laughed. No harm in anything now.
"Well, it's a very happy man talking. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that my wife isn't displeased about our union?" Jack made his way over to her and enclosed her waist in his arms.
"Oh not in the least. Just taken by surprise." Blair connected her hands behind his neck.
"So, when we get off the plane later in New York and everyone snaps pictures of us with our happy faces and wedding bands you won't want to shove me back in the plane and not come back out?"
Blair churned that question in her mind. She was still mad as hell at Chuck. And she didn't see forgiving him anywhere in the distant future. Jack was exactly what she needed right now. He had interceded her attempt to drown herself in booze. He had whisked her away on a fairytale weekend. Jack had given her everything she wanted without her even having to ask.
"Why bother going back to New York? Cant we just go back to Australia and not worry with anybody but us?"
"So you DON'T want anyone to know about us?" Jack raised an eyebrow at her.
Her own eyebrow mirrored his, "That is most certainly not what I said. If you want to go back to New York to show everyone that we got married okay. I just don't want to see your damn nephew." Then a thought hit Blair, "You just want to show off to him were married don't you?"
"Partly." Jack had a coy smile dance over his face as he gave Blair soft kisses, "I mean, can you think of a better way to hurt him? To get revenge…what could be sweeter? You ended up marrying the uncle he practically sold you too? Did you know that he thought you would forgive him? That you would be completely okay with it?"
Jack could tell by the way that Blair's eyebrows were furrowing together that he had hit a sore spot. "I'm sorry."
"I hate him." Blair's eyes were locked on Jack's. "I hate that he thought I was cheap enough to trade me for a hotel. I hate that damn hotel the most. I hope it burns to the ground with everything he holds dear inside of it. I wouldn't care if he and Elizabeth were in it too."
"Bitter towards his mother as well?" Jack chuckled lightly.
"That's right. You two were in cahoots. Oh hell…did you sleep with her?" Disgust began to crawl over her face.
"No, my love, just simply played mind games with her to get what I wanted." Jack knew that statement was the wrong thing to say; just by the way Blair's eyes were drawing into slits. "Seems we Bass men have bad blood."
At this, her eyes rounded back out, "Some are worse than others."
"So would you like to take a shower then start packing?" Jack ended his question with a warm peck to her forehead.
"Actually," She let a sly smile form on her face, "I had something else in mind."
"Oh really? Like what?" He obeyed her push that forced him back towards the bed.
"Reliving our wedding night." With one last push, Jack fell back onto the bed, staring up at her in awe.
What in Chuck's sane mind would make him ever want to chance losing such a woman? She was mature enough to handle everything on her own, still yet dependant enough to not want to be alone. He'd never met such an interesting woman in all of his womanizing days. As far as he could remember, she was the only woman who ever told him no. The only one who could ever resist him.
It had driven him insane too. That she would chose such an inexperienced man as his nephew over him. What could Chuck offer that Jack couldn't? Well did it matter now anyway? Jack was the one Blair was looking at with sex driven eyes. He was the one that she was about to make love to. Right now, he was the one she wanted. And the topper on the cake was that he was the one she was married too.
It was Jack was sending chills washing through her body by tracing small circles on the small of her back as she kissed him. In a matter of seconds, he would turn the tables on her and press her into the comforter. To have her deep chocolate eyes staring up at him.
He willingly let her steal his shirt from his body and discard it to the floor. Recording the way her fingers felt on his skin in his mind.
Once again, she shouldn't feel so at ease being with Jack like this. She should be furious at herself for getting married to him. She wasn't though. She felt absolutely no remorse for wanting Jack the way she did.
When Jack was suddenly on top of her, his fingers made slow electricity filled trails down her sides. He petted each of her arms just as slowly. He watched her so intently as he did this. The pleasure that swirled with anxiety in her eyes was his reward. To know she was so entranced by his touch that it did such things to her.
"Jack?" Blair's voice was raspy.
"Yes?" Jack answered as he nestled into the crook of Blair's neck.
"Do you-" Her breath got caught in throat when Jack pressed a kiss to her neck.
"Do I?" He pulled back to look at her.
Blair blinked up at the man hovering over her, "Do you feel anything for me? Aside from what you're feeling right now?"
Jack knew what she wanted to hear. It was what every girl wanted to hear. She wasn't every girl. She was Blair. Chuck's Blair. The only woman who could catch and hold his attention. And truth be told, Blair was the only woman he had ever felt as if he would say that to. He could now and not worry about it though. He had won. In every aspect of the word.
"Its like I dreamed you up and this is all a dream I will wake-up from and find you never left Chuck. That everything in the past few days is just a horribly vivid dream that I will come to regret when I see you with Chuck again."
Blair's fingers played with his hair behind his head. Her eyes begged him to continue.
"I very much wish that this is not a dream. That you are here and married to me. That when I'm with you---I'm the only one on your mind." It was like he was reading a book or a sonnet to her.
Blair couldn't believe Jack Bass had just said something so romantic.
"Well, Husband, you are." A teary smile forming on her lips.
"Good to know, Mrs. Bass." He pressed his lips to hers. The electricity in his fingers had nothing on his lips.
All bets for B's heart are OFF! Confirmed with photo evidence is B's marriage! Seen getting off a plane with a familiar Bass Uncle was the newly wedded Mrs. Bass. Has it even been a week since she cut things off with C?
Speaking of C. He has been rather miserable this weekend. We haven't seen him this down since his father's death. This down or this drunk. Just wait until he meets his new aunt.
Xoxo
"Did I mention how good New York looks on you?" Jack helped Blair out of his limo.
"Did I tell you how see-through this is? Did you not think I'd see how you chose this hotel specifically? More than likely because Chuck is in there drunk off his rocker." Blair's head nodded towards the hotel they had stopped in front of.
"If he makes you uncomfortable then we can leave. I just thought you wanted to get even. Plus this is the nearest hotel to the airport that Chuck doesn't have an ownership connection too." Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"Tempting offer. I would rather bask in New York's presence for a while before I ruin someone else's life."
"Always thinking ahead. Lets go in and leave our stuff in the suite before we take off though." Jack pecked her lips and led her into the hotel.
Jack slid his hand into Blair's as they entered the large glass doors. Inside was like a garden or roman palace. It had lush green plants everywhere and huge white columns placed at random around the lobby.
They held their cute couple stance as they breezed past the bar entrance where Chuck was about to exit.
"Blair?!" She knew that bitter tone when it yelled at her back from the two column entrance.
"Nephew," Jack turned and greeted the very drunk Chuck first; "there is still some liquor in the bar. Why don't you go and finish it off?"
"Is it true?!" Chuck ignored Jack and looked at Blair, who was startled at the sudden confrontation.
"Is what true? How drunk are you Chuck?" Blair's mouth was hanging open.
"That you married him?! HIM! Blair open your damn eyes!" Chuck boomed, jabbing his finger towards Jack. "That's my UNCLE!"
Chuck's action had earned most of people's attention that were around them. They were all starring her down as if her answer could mean life or death for the entire hotel---block---city---country--world---galaxy. Girls were snapping pictures on their phones wildly, and texting them to all their friends as fast as they could get their fingers to move.
Both Jack and Chuck's stares were the hardest to not squirm under. Both of them were staring holes into her head. To one of them, saying 'yes' would make fireworks go off in his mind. To the other saying 'yes' might just destroy him. Saying 'no' would infuriate one. Then again, saying 'no' might just make the other whoop and holler with joy.
"Well, answer me! Did you run off and marry my Uncle?!" Chuck slammed his fist against the column next to him. Causing Blair to jump and squeeze her eyes closed.
This might be a slightly harder than she gave it credit for. But the truth is inevitable right?
"Its none of your business what I do anymore Chuck. Its over. You made sure of it." Blair kept her tone business like.
"What? Blair how many times-" Chuck reached out for her arm, but she jerked backwards before he could grab it.
"Look Chuck!" She held her left hand up in the air. "A ring! I'm married! And look-" She brought Jack's hand up. "He has a matching one. So yes, I'm married to a man who I've very positive wont trade me for a hotel. To one who wont treat me like a whore."
"You're wrong. You've just signed yourself up to being his whore for the rest of your marriage--possibly your life! Blair just quit and come back to me." Chuck's was taking in deep breaths.
He hadn't meant to snap like this. He hadn't expected to see Blair either. She had disappeared three or four nights ago. He'd tried to so hard to find her. No one knew where she was though, not even Dorota!
So when he got the text about Blair being married--he lost a little piece of his mind. When he read on and found out it was to his Uncle--he lost the rest of his mind. Maybe Jack had planned to come here and flaunt Blair. Jack more than likely knew where Chuck would be--drinking his weight in scotch. Seeing Blair smiling and holding hands with Jack made him want to barf all of his scotch back up, along with whatever else was in his stomach.
She couldn't quote a very famous movie line, "I'd rather be his whore than your wife." Could she change it? "I'd rather be his wife than your whore." It didn't sound quite as convincing.
"I doubt you've missed me this weekend." Blair made a quick motion to the pink lipstick stain on the collar of wrinkled blue shirt.
"Come on, Blair. Lets just get up to the suite." Jack put his arm around Blair's shoulder and shifted her body towards the elevator.
Chuck could only watch in disbelief as Jack led Blair away. He could tell by the way Jack was rubbing her arm and kissing her hair that he was feeling her head with venom against him. Jack stole a glance backwards at Chuck, who was still standing disheveled, and was that---yes it was. Jack was throwing a smirk back over his shoulder at Chuck.
Then they disappeared around the corner towards the elevator.
Chuck shook his head and shoved his hand through his hair. This has to be a nightmare. And what pink lipstick was she talking about? Chuck struggled to see the stain on his collar as he began to walk out of the hotel.
Well, that's that! Do let me know what you think please! After all, it's the response I get from you all that gives me the inspiration to write! This is so much fun to write! Cant wait to write more for you!!! Sorry I didnt upload this chapter sooner. Major storms are hammering my area. LOL
