Breaking Every Rule
Chapter Twelve: A Public Affair
Blair walked out of her bathroom, straight out of the shower, wearing only a towel to find Chuck sitting at her computer desk, grinning. "Don't bother getting dressed for me, Blair…we both know you'll be taking your clothes off soon enough."
She rolled her eyes before letting her towel drop. Chuck's jaw fell to the ground as she casually made her way into her closet. After all these months, her beauty never seized to amaze him. "Not now, Chuck. Our first day back at school is in an hour and I need to get ready. Plus, I think it would be a good idea not to smell like sex today."
"Are you ready for today?" he asked, changing the subject, and Blair looked up at him a little nervously, and Chuck frowned – today was they day that they had planned on going public with their relationship. "You don't want to do it." he guessed.
"No!" Blair exclaimed. "Of course I do. It's just…we both know what everyone is going to say."
"Yeah," Chuck scoffed. "That I'm using you and you should know better than to be with me—"
"That I'm a whore who's sleeping with the biggest womanizer in the Upper East Side and—"
"Blair…" Chuck cut her off, with a stern voice and then brushed a piece of hair behind her ear before calming her down. "Then I guess we'll just have to prove them wrong."
Blair rolled her eyes before responding, "Easy for you to say."
"What?" Chuck asked, furrowing his eyebrows, but Blair just gave him a look – he was Chuck Bass, all he was risking was people thinking he was a good person. Blair could lose the Queen B status she had earned over the past years. She deserved to be queen…it's who she was. "I'm risking a lot too," he said, somewhat pissed. "I spent years trying to make sure no one thought I was soft…or weak. Having an actual girlfriend changes all of that. I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't sure about us," he then paused for a moment, remembering the cruise. "But if it's too soon, I understand. I don't want you to—"
"No. I haven't done it since that night. And I'm sure about us too," she smiled back, and went to kiss him, but Chuck immediately deepened the kiss, and Blair couldn't help but get into it for a moment before pushing him off. "No," she said, "I have to get dressed. If we're gonna do this, we're going to make sure we make a show of it…so we can't be late. Let me get dressed and…if you're good, I promise to thank you properly later, boyfriend."
Chuck couldn't help but let out a smile – he never got tired of hearing her call him his boyfriend, "Okay, girlfriend."

Blair and Serena walked out of their class before lunch and took a seat on top of the table in the middle of the courtyard, she looked around nervously for him when a thought entered her mind – what if he changed his mind and never showed up? "He'll be here," Serena told her best friend, knowing what the expression on her face was hiding.
"Who'll be here?" Penelope asked as she took a seat by them, followed by Kati and Is. "Nate? Are you two back together?"
"Was she talking to you?" Blair asked, raising an eyebrow at her most obnoxious minion. The truth was, she was kind of getting tired of all of Penelope's comments. "And for the record, P, Nate and I are not, nor will we ever be back together."
Kati nodded, "You know, he's been staring at you. Looks like he misses you…"
"Well, he should," Is stated, "I mean, the ass hole screwed up your relationship, but you were together for such a long time…maybe you should hear him out."
Blair scoffed, "I think I'm just fine without him. In fact, I've already moved on to much well, bigger and better things."
All of the girls giggled, but Serena raised an eyebrow at her best friend – she knew it was true from when she walked in on Chuck naked, but she wasn't going to say that. "Don't be mean, B."
Blair opened her mouth to respond, but stopped when she saw him walk into the courtyard and look around until he spotted her. They locked eyes and Chuck gave her one last look, asking if she was sure, and Blair nodded (well, with her eyes – they always had this telepathic thing going on), and Chuck grinned before walking up to her and the rest of the girls. As soon as he approached them, Chuck stopped right in front of Blair and pulled her close before any of the girls even saw him approaching. He then kissed her with so much passion, letting everyone know that she was his.
They didn't notice it at the time, but every single person was staring at them in shock, some taking pictures and sending it to Gossip Girl – but they expected it. Blair finally pulled away and smiled at him. "Hello, beautiful," Chuck greeted her with a smile.
Blair kissed him again before responding, "Hi." She paused for a moment, "Someone's happy to see me…" Blair joked.
"Of course," Chuck smirked, "but I'd be happier if I could see more of—"
"Um, excuse me," Penelope started, "but what the hell is this? Chuck Bass, Blair…Are you serious?"
"Absolutely." Blair smirked at her 'friend'.
She scoffed, "You should know better…"
Chuck took his hands off of Blair for the first time since he approached them and glared at Penelope, "If Blair wanted your opinion on her boyfriend, she would have asked you."
"Boyfriend?" Hazel almost spit out her water and Blair rolled her eyes.
"Yes, Hazel, my boyfriend. Now, unless any of you have anything else to say—" Blair stopped talking when all of their phones vibrated, and they all went to read the latest Gossip Girl post…even though everyone already knew what it was about.
Spotted: A certain Upper East Side Queen finally moving on. But is C really the best choice? You know, they say a leopard can't change its spots. But once in a while, things do change. Doing the unexpected and, well, crazy thing can sometimes work for the best. I won't lie, I was hoping for N and B to kiss and make up, and judging by the look on N's face, so was he. But there's something about B's new lover that kind of makes more sense. After all, N may be the Prince Charming, but sometimes we all need a little bad in our life, and who better than a Bass to bring out B's wild side? So hold on, Upper East Siders, this relationship is gonna be one hell of a ride.
Blair couldn't help but smile at the post and then turn to the girls with a smug look on her face. "Anything else, ladies?" they all shook their heads. "Good, now go, and don't come back until you remember who you're talking to."
Kati, Is, Hazel, and Penelope all got up and turned to walk away, and Blair overheard Penelope say, under her breath, "She's making a huge mistake."
"Penelope." Blair scolded, and she turned around to look at her queen. "I hardly think you should be saying anything, considering the fact that you're screwing both of your fathers business partners."
Both Chuck and Serena couldn't help but laugh at Blair's statement, and when she didn't move, Chuck just quirked an eyebrow and said, "I believe Blair told you to leave."
Once her minions were out of sight, Blair turned to look at her boyfriend who was grinning. Chuck leaned in to kiss her again, "You have no idea how great it feels to be able to kiss you without worrying about Gossip Girl finding out."
"Mmh," Blair agreed as they continued to kiss. Serena's only reaction was to roll her eyes before turning to look at her phone and text Dan – she didn't want to pay attention to this. After a moment of just kissing, Chuck instinctively moved his hand from her hips, slowly inching his way up to her breast. Blair caught on before he could reach his destination and slapped his arm away. "We're in public!" she scolded him, but Chuck just smirked—this being together in public thing was going to be fun.
"Hey!" Dan greeted as he approached them. Chuck and Blair pulled apart and simultaneously rolled their eyes just in time to see him greet Serena with a light kiss on the lips. "So…you two aren't a secret anymore. Congrats."
Blair scoffed, "I hardly think that observation of yours warranted ruining my moment."
"Your moment?" Chuck asked with a laugh.
"Fine…our moment. Whatever…" Blair brushed him off. After a moment she turned back towards Dan, "Was there something you wanted, Cabbage Patch?"
Before he had a chance to respond, Serena's phone rang. After checking the number she looked back up at them and said, "I need to take this," before walking away.
Chuck and Blair turned back to Dan, waiting for a response. "Did I want something?" Dan started, looking a little uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment and directed his attention to Chuck. "Actually, yeah. I was wondering if you finished the French work? I have some questions."
Blair couldn't help but laugh. "You're asking Chuck for help with school work?" Chuck sent her a glare and Blair just rolled her eyes, "I love you, Bass, but we both know that you don't apply yourself in school." She then turned to face Dan and a smirk appeared on her face. It was pretty obvious that he was lying to them, and Blair planned on getting the truth out of him. "I on the other hand, am fluent in French. What's your question?"
"W-What?" he asked. "My question?"
A matching smirk appeared on Chuck's face as he reached the same conclusion Blair did. "Unless the question isn't about school work. Hmmm…what would Daniel Humphrey want to ask me? What question would make him swallow his false sense of pride enough to seek help from Chuck Bass?" He didn't respond, and Chuck glanced over at his girlfriend. "Any ideas, Waldorf?"
"You want sex advice, don't you?" Blair asked, quirking an eyebrow at the Brooklynite, whose eyes widened at the question. "It's a simple question, Cabbage Patch. Yes or no?"
"Don't tell Serena." Dan begged. "I wouldn't have come to Chuck but—"
"You have a very short list of friends who include your father, your little sister, the dreads of dumbo, and your cabbage patch kid." Chuck finished Dan's sentence for him. "But you came to the right person. What do you need?"
Dan opened his mouth but then turned to Blair. "Do you mind? I'd rather not—"
"Whatever, I need to go to my locker before class starts anyway" Blair said with a shrug and then moved closer to Chuck, "Tell me later?" he nodded. "Good. I'll see you after school?"
Chuck smiled and briefly kissed her lips. "Can't wait."
They felt everyone's eyes on them, but the truth was, they didn't care anymore. Plus, they had expected much worse. A little bit of gossip wasn't going to take Chuck and Blair down.
Finally, Blair forced herself to take a step away from Chuck and make her way back inside. He watched, admiring his girlfriend's perfect ass as she walked away, and didn't turn back until he couldn't see her anymore. "Speak." He ordered Dan.
"Yeah…um, it's just…Serena and I have been having some problems, you know? In bed? And I didn't really know who else to ask and I figured we're friends now and—"
"Since when are we friends, Humphrey?"
"Oh, um, I figured that after the cruise, I mean, we all hung out. Not friends, but just…I mean, it's not like you really have anyone else."
"Excuse me?" Chuck spat.
"That didn't come out right…what I mean is that even though you have Blair and Serena and Eric, you don't really have guy friends…Eric's kind of like your brother so that doesn't count and ever since you stopped talking to Nate—"
"Do you ever shut up?" Chuck asked, and Dan instantly shut his mouth. "It doesn't even matter, I already know your problem…Serena told Blair, Blair told me." he paused for a moment before bringing himself to speak again, "You need to remember that sex is not sex until both people cross the finish line, Humphrey. Until then, it's just Serena giving you a favor."

The couple returned from school stumbling out of the elevator to the van der Bass penthouse. They couldn't control themselves – their plan had worked spectacularly and everything had gone incredibly well. Despite what they thought they knew about Gossip Girl and the girls at Constance, people didn't judge their relationship too badly…or if they did, they kept it to themselves. Penelope being the exception, of course.
Plus, they had made it pretty clear that messing with them wasn't a good idea. They were Chuck and Blair—the 'king and queen' Upper East Side's, and no one wanted to be on their bad side.
Chuck pressed his girlfriend up against the wall, "Just so you know…there's not one else home. It's just you and me."
"Yes, well that is very useful information." She told him in between frantic kisses. "Because that means we are all alone…and can do whatever we want."
"Mmh," Chuck responded as Blair grabbed his tie and started to pull him to the kitchen. She tore off his shirt the second they entered the room – as always, Blair tore off all the buttons, ruining his $400 shirt.
Sure, the couple has had sex on almost every surface of Chuck's suite and all over both of their bedrooms, but they'd never explored any other areas of his apartment. But then again, they were horny, and no one was home. So Chuck gently lifted her up to sit on the counter and Blair instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him closer until she could feel his body pressed against hers.
His eyes glazed over as he stared at her body. "Are you just going to sit there, Chuck?" she asked, incredulously. "Of are you going to take advantage of your extremely horny girlfriend?"
He grinned before answering, "What do you think, Waldorf?" She didn't reply, so Chuck just stood up and pressed his lips against hers before lifting her dress over her head and discarding it on her floor. He brought one of his hands up her dress to caress her breast and the other one cupped her butt.
After a few minutes of making out, Blair pulled away for a brief moment before saying, "Has anyone told you how incredible you are, Bass?"
"Actually, yes." Chuck replied with a slight laugh, but paused for a moment before adding, "But it only matters when you do."
As always, his words made those damn butterflies in her stomach flutter, and Blair grinned at him and then wrapped her legs around him and then resumed their make-out session. After a few minutes, Chuck reached for the straps of her panties, about to pull it down, but hesitated for a moment. "What?"
"I don't deserve you," Chuck admitted as he removed her bra and then brought his mouth down to her right breast. "What did I do to deserve you?"
Blair let out a gasp at the sensation of his mouth on her flesh and a moan left her mouth when he gently bit down on one of her nipples. "You loved me," she responded as she unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants. Chuck kicked them off, leaving him only in his boxers.
Blair grinned and let out a laugh at his eagerness, and Chuck was about to lean in and kiss her again when they heard a throat clear.
Chuck and Blair both whipped their heads around to find none other than Big Bad Bart Bass and his fiancé standing before them.
They were both frozen for a moment, but Chuck was the first to snap out of it, reaching over to grab his shirt and putting it on Blair to cover her up. At least they didn't actually see anything. Blair's chest had been pressed up against Chuck's so her breasts were out of sight. He knew they needed to be covered before he could so much as move.
Once the shirt was on, Blair unwrapped her legs from around Chuck's waist and hopped off of the kitchen counter. Bart quirked an eyebrow at the two, sure, things like this were expected from Chuck, but Bart had always seen Blair as innocent (even though she was dating his son). But now, he watched her, dressed in underwear and his son's shirt, about to have sex with Chuck, who was only wearing boxers. "Father." Chuck greeted as he made a failing attempt at covering his obvious erection and Blair hid behind the counter, trying to keep Bart from seeing the lower half of her body. "I thought you were in China."
"I came back early." He stated simply.
Clearly, Chuck wanted to respond, but he simply kept his mouth shut. Blair, on the other hand was avoiding eye contact with Bart at all costs. In her eyes, things couldn't get much worse. Her boyfriend's father had just walked in on them about to have sex on his kitchen counter. He had to be disgusted with her.
Sensing that the two teenagers were at a loss, and that there really wasn't much for him to say other than, "We eat here, Charles."
"I would have told Isabel to clean up before dinner," he stated simply before glancing at Blair and then turning his gaze back to his fathers. "If you'll excuse us, father, Blair and I are going to do some…homework in my room."
Bart just let out a deep sigh, "Just make sure I don't...overhear you two doing your…homework." He told his son and then looked over at Blair. "Nice to see you again, Blair. Hopefully next time I'll be seeing less of you."
And with that said, Bart made his way to his office…he had business to attend to and that was the only soundproof room in the house.
"Oh my God!" Blair yelped as soon as Bart was out of earshot. I can not believe he just walked in on us…me…without a top…about too…and here…oh my God."
Chuck couldn't help but let out a slight laugh, but, of course, this aggravated Blair even more and she punched his shoulder…hard. "Ow! Waldorf, that hurt!"
"Good." Blair glared at him. "How do you think this is funny?"
"It's not like he didn't know we were sleeping together. Do you not remember your mothers interrogation about protection at that wonderful dinner a few months ago?"
"Yeah, but knowing and seeing are two very different things, Chuck."
He let out a sigh and took a step closer to his girlfriend. Chuck then brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her lightly on the lips. "It's really not that big of a deal. My father is Bart Bass, after all. Nothing he hasn't seen before." He paused, "Besides, my dad really likes you. He says you're good for me."
Blair smiled at Chuck and looked up at him with big eyes. "He really said that?"
"Yes." Chuck emphasized and took both of her hands in his. "You okay now?" She nodded. "Let's go pick up where we left of…"
