Chuck woke with a start the next morning. 6:00 a.m. The clock said. He grumbled as he turned the alarm off. He had to be ready in time to meet Blair coming out of the church. He wasn't sure what was wrong with him. This whole time, he had been happy to do anything that involved making Blair better. Today, he was dreading it.
As he stepped out of the shower, he realized what was wrong. Though he never admitted it to himself, he had always been secretly hoping the night of Victrola would make Blair realize what she was missing. Make her remember him. Well if she had, she had shown absolutely no sign of it when she practically sprinted out of the limo the previous night. He was starting to wonder if all this was even a good idea. Could he seriously hold up for 3 more years? He would, if that was what it took to have her back, but what if it didn't have to be that way? What if he just tried explaining to her...
XOXO
He couldn't believe he was doing this. Willing to throw it all away on the slight chance she might actually accept him. When the elevator reached the top, he was face to face with Blair herself. A look of sheer panic dashed across her face before she composed to a look of annoyance. "Bass, what are you doing here? I have things to do". She tried to push past him, but he guided her back into her penthouse. "I need to talk to you" he said gently.
She glared at him. "Chuck, I don't have time for this. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a rather important meeting".
He let her pass. Just before she stepped into the elevator he said "You know, I'm not sure abolishing your sins at a Catholic Church works if you're not Catholic".
She stopped and turned slowly to look at him. "How did you know I was going there?"
"Well" he said walking towards her. "It's what you did last time".
She froze for a moment. "Last time? What do you mean...last time?"
"The first time we had sex. You lost your virginity to me in the back of my limo after dancing for me on November 7th, 2007."
There was a moment's pause. Then, she burst out laughing. "I lost my virginity to YOU!? Yea, sure. Good one Chuck. I obviously lost it to Nate. We may have hit a rough patch, and I'm sure there were many others, but he is the only one I would have ever given myself to. Sure, you were my first time that I remember, but seriously Chuck. That's ridiculous".
"Yea? If it's so ridiculous, why is it Nate never sleeps with you?"
"Well-" she stuttered, surprised by his sudden outburst. "It just hasn't been the right time..."
"Why is it that after a week of finally being a real couple, you told me that night at Victrola had been one of the greatest nights of your life? And you wouldn't have traded it or taken it back for anything the world. Because through it, we found each other".
"Chuck, you're not making any sense! What do you mean one week of finally being a couple?"
"And let me ask you this Blair. Do you know you lost your virginity to Nate, or did you just assume?"
She went pale. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. "You never answered my question" she finally said. "What do you mean we were a couple?"
Chuck sighed. "Me and you. The day of the car accident, we had been dating for exactly one year. It was our anniversary".
"What? But wh-...how is that possible?" she stammered.
"It started that night at Victrola which we so cleverly re-created for you".
"We? Who-" but he cut her off.
"Ever since the night Nate told you he slept with Serena, you have been reliving exactly what happened to you from the time you remember on."
"But...why?" she asked confused.
"Because of us. If I had told you we were a couple, I knew there wasn't a chance in hell you would believe me, and it wouldn't work out and I would lose you forever. But I figured, if you could re-live all of the events that lead to us being together, it would all be okay."
"And you stop now because...?" she asked.
He sighed and took hold of her arm. "I thought last night would have made you remember. If anything was going to help, last night would have done it. I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm not lying when I say we have been dating for over a year now. Now, I won't say it was easy. It took almost two years to get to where we are. Two years of games, heartbreak and disappointment, but we kept fighting for each other because well, we loved each other. Even if we couldn't say it, we knew somehow it was true. And we love each other now. Oh I wish you could remember!" he said frustrated, letting go of her and facing away.
Blair didn't move. Didn't say anything. She couldn't if she tried. Chuck turned back to her and took her hands in his. "Please" he said and looked into her eyes. "I love you"
She yanked her hands away from his and backed up to the stairs. "Please, go" she stammered.
"Blair, I-" Chuck tried to say.
"No please! Go!" with that she raced up the stairs.
Chuck bowed his head in defeat and ran his fingers through his hair. "Well that went well" he mumbled to himself and slumped into the elevator.
XOXO
It had been four weeks since Chuck had made the visit to Blair's place. No one had heard from her, not even Serena. Dorota had told them she was in France with her father. They couldn't reach her; her cell phone was always off. Serena was actually planning to go there in a few days to make sure she was okay. Chuck regretted telling her everything. He should have waited, though Nate and Serena told him he had done the right thing. They were just glad they didn't have to put on this facade anymore. Some friends.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Not expecting anyone, Chuck was reluctant to answer, but slowly made his way to the door when the knock was heard a second time. He could have never expected to see what he saw on the other side of the door. There was Blair, looking as perfect as always, with the most panic stricken and fearful face he had ever seen anyone wear. "Blair" he said ushering her in. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in France."
"I was in France" she said slowly. Then she turned to him timidly. "Chuck, something has happened, and I think it's only fair you are the first one to know..."
