Have you guys seen the sneek peaks for this coming Monday's episode?? Its madness! I'm so excited for it. I haven't been this excited for Gossip Girl since last season's finale.
Some of the lines in here are actually from one of the sneek peaks, and some lines from the promo. But only a few lines.
Anyways, Just needed to get this chapter out before the episode airs and I hope you're happy with the chapter, because you guys intimidate me. Haha. :)
...And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all.
And you flashback to when he said forever and always.
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom,
Everything is wrong.
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone,
cause i was there when you said forever and always...
(Forever and Always [Piano Version] - Taylor Swift)
Today's the big day.
Dorota's wedding is today, and so is the beginning of Operation Backlash Bass. My red dress was in place with not a single wrinkle on it, and my heels perfectly polished. My game face was at its best. Everything was ready, and Chuck was going to be a piece of cake. It won't take too much for that horny bastard to give me the world the way I was looking.
"Dorota! Don't wash the dishes you'll ruin your nails!" I heard my mother scold from down stairs.
I followed the noise down the stairs. What awaited me at the foot of the stairs was a perfect picture. The wedding scene looked stunning. Though, thus was to be expect for me and the wedding planner had doted on it endlessly. This day needed to be perfect for Dorota.
The main hall was a dream. There were white roses and lilies lining the aisle all the way to the front where the most beautiful white lilies gathered and sprung open in glory. They were made for a wedding.
I walked down the aisle letting my fingers graze the flowers until I reached the front where the wedding would take place. I closed my eyes and tried imagine a wedding even grander than this one. That would be my wedding.
I open my eyes, ready to walk to the kitchen to ask if help was needed, but when I opened my eyes I saw Chuck at the end of the aisle staring at me with a peculiar expression on his face. I couldn't move. I could hardly even breathe, all thoughts of the plan momentarily erased by the sight of him. I needed to get out of here and clear my head if I was going to be bringing a Bass to his knees.
"Blair…" Was all that escaped his lips. He looked like he could hardly breathe too. He stared at me as I half ran down the aisle.
Chuck broke out of his trace when I walked right past him in a hurry to escape. He tried to grab my wrist and his hand brushed mine, causing me to pull my hand to my chest as if I'd been burned.
"Blair…" He whispered again.
"Didn't your father ever tell you not to touch what isn't yours?" I snapped. I took a deep breath to regain composure and give him the coldest look I could muster. "Let's just get through this wedding. The sooner it's over, the sooner I won't have to put up with you."
All part of the plan, I told myself. Playing hard to get was something Chuck and I knew well. He would come crawling to me any moment.
I all but ran to the kitchen.
"Oh good, you're up." My mother sighed in relief. "Can you get Dorota dressed and ready to go? Her make up hasn't even been done and her hair is a complete disaster!"
Dorota rolled her eyes. "It was long night."
I smirked at her as I led her away from the criticism.
"I can guess what had you up all night. "
She blushed and turned her head. I laughed at her reaction.
After hours of beauty work and polish cussing, Dorota was looking amazing in her beautiful white lacey wedding dress and veil. Her hair was down and curled with a tiara on top.
I took a step back to admire the work the professionals had done.
"Vanya is going to drop dead when he sees you." I grinned at her, but she gave me a serious look.
"Miss Blair, take it back! No bad luck on wedding day."
My smiled faltered. "Sorry."
She smiled at me now. "Thank you Miss Blair. I know you look even better on your wedding day with Mr. Chuck." It was my turn to give her a serious look.
"Yeah." I mumbled, my stomach churning at the memory of seeing Chuck at the beginning of the aisle this morning.
My mother burst through the doors of my bedroom and did a double take when she saw Dorota. "My, my Dorota! You look absolutely gorgeous!" She beamed.
Perfect distraction. I pulled my best fake smile and went to stand next to my mother.
"Well, let's get this over with, shall we?" I said, with enthusiasm as fake as my smile.
We all waited at the door. Daddy came and was escorting Dorota down the aisle and I was to walk behind.
When the doors opened, I was stunned again by the beauty of it all. Until I looked ahead that is. Past Dorota and Daddy, past all the people in the seats, was Chuck. He was staring past everything right to me as well. Angry tears started to well in my eyes. I hated him for screwing everything up. We could have had this and so much more. I could have been the one round with his child, walking down the aisle to forever be his Mrs. Chuck Bass.
I turned away and held my eyes wide open, trying to let the tears dry in my eyes before they spilled over. Shaky breaths were all I was able to manage, but it could be easily played off as excitement for the wedding.
Chuck stared as I walked down the aisle. He watched as if I was his bride, but that would never be the case. His face crumpled as if he had overheard my thoughts. This is playing out nicely, I thought, trying to keep my focus on the plan. He should see what he's going to miss out on forever.
I carefully kept my eyes on Dorota, no matter how deep the hole Chuck was burning through me with his stare.
"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife."
He twitched slightly, and I unconsciously looked up at him.
He held my gaze.
"You may kiss the bride."
I tore my eyes away from Chuck to watch Dorota and Vanya kiss for the first time as a married couple. I wanted to pass out from the tornado of emotions destroying me completely.
Once the kiss was done, they held each other at the waists and smiled for the pictures. They walked back down the aisle and to the living room where the party would take place. Me and Chuck followed without anymore glances.
The couple turned around and hugged us both, squeezing me and Chuck fully together. All the breath rush out of me. This was too much for one day.
"One day, you two be married too. And with babies." She released us to put a hand to her pregnant stomach and gave us a smile that wanted to crack her face from such happiness.
"Yeah, someday." Chuck responded much to my horror, and grabbed my waist.
I jumped and moved away from him quickly, disgust clouding my features. Did he really think that would ever happen now?
The couple looked confused, but I didn't even care anymore. I walked away from them towards the tables where everyone was already situated. I needed to talk to Nate.
When I got to the tables I saw that Nate and Serena were sitting together having a heated discussion. I decided to leave them alone and headed straight up the stairs and into my room. Maybe I could hide out there the rest of the day.
I took a seat at my vanity and stared at myself. "A cool exterior and a fire below", Chuck had once said. Those words fit me exactly more at this moment than ever before.
Speak of the Devil and he shall appear. I watched Chuck through my mirror as he walked into my room without a single word, but lifted a hand to show me a red square box.
"No, it's not our sex tape." He smirked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I glared at him.
He walked and came up to stand behind me. He silently opened the red box to reveal a gold necklace with gold charms hanging from the chain.
I kept quiet as he took out the jewelry and began to place it around my neck. His fingers lingered.
He looked up at the mirror and I did too. We stared at each other, and we both saw the same thing: Us at my disastrous 17th birthday.
"We have to see this through to the end." He spoke in his husked voice.
I kept my game face. "We already have."
He put his hand on the chair and his head onto my shoulder, his cheek pressed against my own. His face was completely serious.
"Blair, we are magnetic. You can feel it. Our pull is as undeniable as ever." He whispered passionately.
"It's different this time." I hated the weakness in my voice. How could I still love such a manipulative man?
"It doesn't have to be."
I closed my eyes as he whispered to me again.
"I love you. Saying it was hard, but I did it and I never looked back. So now I'm asking you, please do this for me…Please forgive me?" His walls were down and this would be the perfect time to strike.
I opened my eyes and looked him straight in the eyes. I shrugged him off me and stood up. He stood straight as I walked towards him.
"I'm sorry," I spat, watching his face fall to misery. "But I can't." I grabbed a hold of his head and brought it to mine, kissing him with as much passion that it was practically sinful. Just because I was still in love with him, didn't mean he could come out of this unscathed. He was mine to take. "I am so going to hell for this." I whispered against his lips. He laughed shakily. I kissed him again as I pushed him against the wall.
"But at least we won't be lonely in hell."
