The shimmering lights of the city sparkling against the night sky fascinated Blair. Holding Chuck's hand tightly, Blair marveled at the sights of a city that she has never seen before. "It's amazing out there," Blair expressed excitedly as she turned towards Chuck. Chuck too was gazing out the window, but his eyes were not filled with the same joy Blair's were. He turned his head so that he could look into Blair's eyes. "I'm glad you like it," he whispered.
Blair smiled sadly, "I love it…I want you to enjoy it too."
Raising his hand to cup Blair's chin, Chuck smirked softly, "I am. Your smile is enough for the both of us."
Blair's heart melted. She grabbed his hand that was holding her chin and placed a long sweet kiss there. "But I won't be happy until you smile too." She nudged her forehead against his.
Chuck sighed. "You'll see me smile when you walk down the aisle."
Blair inwardly sighed. "Well Chuck Bass," said Blair, "You are a romantic…who knew you had so many sweet words to say to me?" She smiled.
Chuck's mouth twitched into a slight smile but he quickly composed himself. "From now on, it'll be sweet talk 24/7."
She smiled and placed her head on his shoulder.
Their taxi began to slow down. "Are we here already?" asked Blair as she looked out the window.
Chuck stared straight ahead. "Yeah."
Their taxi came to a slow stop. Chuck quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and handed the driver a one hundred dollar bill. Blair heard him mumble something to the driver, but she could barely hear him. Once Chuck was done talking, he grabbed Blair's hand and led her out of the car. Blair's eyes fell on one of the most beautiful chapels she has ever seen. She allowed Chuck to lead her inside, where they both met with a short, smiling man who stood there next to a tall woman.
"Hello," greeted the friendly man, "Are you Mr. Bass and Ms. Waldorf?" He asked with a slight accent.
"Yes," said Chuck "Is everything ready?"
Blair watched the man nod, "Yes Mr. Bass."
Chuck nodded quickly towards the man while he gently grabbed Blair's face in his hands. Their eyes met. "Everything is set. I'll let you get ready." He stroked her cheek with his thumb and Blair placed her hand on his tie. "You…" Chuck struggled, "You're sure you want to do this?"
Blair nodded her head instinctively as she took a deep breath, "Yes." She stated affectionately, "I want to be your wife."
Chuck gazed into her eyes, a slight smile forming on his face. "You'll be mine forever."
Blair touched his cheek, "I was always yours." She leaned in and placed her lips against his. Chuck returned the kiss, before slowly pulling away. Without breaking eye contact, Blair blew Chuck a kiss and backed away. The woman who was standing next to the minister gently grabbed Blair's arm and led her into a back room.
The minister smiled, "When you are ready give me a signal and the ceremony will start."
Blair nodded kindly at the minister before looking once more at Chuck. She allowed the woman to lead her into a small dimly lit room. The room was adorned with simple decorations including a wooden cross on the wall. A large garment bag was lying on a chair in the corner of the room. A curious Blair walked towards the bag.
"Here," said the woman with a thick accent, "I will open for you."
Blair stood aside as the woman unzipped the bag revealing a white material—a wedding dress. Blair gasped as she saw the whole dress. It was absolutely gorgeous. Blair reached out to touch the fabric. The floor length, strapless gown was as soft as cotton. Blair turned the dress to reveal a large, beautiful white bow resting on the back. The dress was perfect. "Oh…" cooed Blair, "This is beautiful."
The woman smiled as she took the dress out of the garment bag. She handed the dress to Blair. "I will let you change." The kind woman bowed her head slightly and left the room.
Blair stood there silently, feeling warm tears gather into her eyes. Her wedding dress was in her very own grasp. All of her life she had been dreaming about this moment and it was finally here. Her dream groom was not Nate anymore…it was Chuck. Blair brushed away the tears that fell from her face. She carried her dress to a small chair in the corner of the room and started to get ready. The wedding dress seemed like it was made just for her. As Blair slipped it on she couldn't help but notice that it hugged her gently—it was the perfect size. After zipping it up, she turned to look into a tiny mirror that was placed on a wooden end table. The sight of herself in the wedding gown almost blew her away. Blair's eyes caught the sight of two boxes that were placed beside the end table. Curiously Blair picked them up and placed them on the chair. The smaller box, once opened, revealed a beautiful pair of satin white heels. Blair gasped as she took one shoe out and noticed a tiny bow resting on the corner of the heel. It matched her dress perfectly. A smile never left her face as Blair slipped her feet into the shoes. A perfect fit. Blair closed the box and set it aside. A another box, resting underneath shoe box, was now visible to her. Her hands were shaking, yet she managed to get the top off the box. Blair's eyes widened—a beautiful white headband lay there. She picked it up revealing a large bow that lay attached to the side.
There was a quick knock on the door. "Yes," said Blair quietly. Her eyes never left the headband that was in her hands. The door opened quickly and the woman walked briskly inside. "Everything is ready." She said. She took the headband from Blair's hands and placed it on her head. "The ceremony will start soon." The woman adjusted Blair's hair so that it flowed around her. She then grabbed a beautiful bouquet arranged of white and pink roses and handed the bouquet to Blair. A little smile graced Blair's face as she looked at the arrangement. A big white bow was tied around the bouquet. Gently tracing her finger across the bow, Blair breathed in deeply. "I'm ready," she whispered. As soon as those words left her mouth, she was whisked away by the woman and placed in front of two large wooden doors. The woman gave her a reassuring smile, before opening one door slightly and stepping inside.
Gripping the bouquet tightly, Blair attempted to calm her nerves. She heard the soft playing of the piano and the opening notes of the wedding march. Her heart quickened in pace as the doors to the chapel were opened. One look into Chuck's eyes was all it took for Blair's infamous butterflies to start. Her eye contact with him did not falter as she strode toward him. Finally she arrived to the alter. The woman who had helped her before was there to take her bouquet, allowing Blair to hold Chuck's hand. The minister began to speak, yet Blair could not pay attention to the words that were spoken. She was too preoccupied with the gaze that she was locked into with Chuck's eyes. Blair gave Chuck a small smile. He breathed in and blinked back a couple of tears that were forming into his eyes. 'You're beautiful' Chuck mouthed silently. The butterflies in her stomach danced.
"Now we shall recite the vows," stated the minister. Chuck turned slightly to grab a ring from the kind man they met upon their arrival. He turned back around holding a simple white gold wedding band.
"Please place the ring on her finger." Directed the minister, "Do you Chuck Bartholomew Bass take Blair Cornelia Waldorf to be you lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health…till death do you part?"
Chuck slipped the ring on her finger, "I do." He lifted Blair's hand and kissed the ring gently. Blair's breath hitched in her throat. She was interrupted by a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to see the woman holding a similar white gold wedding band. Blair smiled at the woman and took the ring.
"Do you Blair Cornelia Waldorf take Chuck Bartholomew Bass to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in health…till death do you part?" A single tear fell down Blair's cheek as she slipped the ring onto Chuck's finger. "I do."
The minister clapped his hand together, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Chuck did not waste a second before wrapping both arms around Blair's waist and pulling her against him. Their noses grazed for a moment as Chuck whispered, "I love you" to Blair and then pulled her into a kiss. Blair kissed Chuck back with all of the energy and love she had in her. Chuck brought his hand underneath her neck and kissed her more forcefully—it took all of Blair's will power to pull away. "Chuck," she breathed. She smiled at him before giving him a shorter yet still loving kiss. "Save it for the honeymoon," she joked. It took all of Chuck Bass's willpower to not crack a smile and for a moment he let his dark emotions go. A wide smile graced his face, sending Blair's heart into full melting mode. She immediately grabbed his face and kissed the corners of his mouth that were turned up into a smile.
The pain and heartache both endured in the past weeks suddenly lifted, even if it was only for just a moment. This moment was crucial to both of them. They were Mr. and Mrs. Bass officially.
The two teenagers smiled at one another as they turned toward the minister. The woman handed Blair's bouquet back to her and bowed her head. Blair gave the woman a smile.
"Thank you," said Chuck to all those in the chapel. Blair squeezed his hand. "Yes," she added, "Thank you so much."
The man who arranged everything bowed, "I thank you both. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bass."
Chuck gave the two witnesses and the minister a slight head nod, before leading Blair down aisle. Blair waved to everyone. The Queen Bee and Chuck Bass stepped out of the chapel hand in hand. "Oh my god," exclaimed Blair as she giggled, "I—we…we're married."
Chuck nodded his head a slight grin on his face. He pulled Blair closer to him. Surprised by Chuck's sudden action, Blair wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss on his chin. Chuck's grin began to slowly falter, something that Blair noticed immediately. "What's wrong?" asked Blair.
Chuck shook his head, "Nothing." He attempted to smile but it quickly vanished.
"Sweetie," soothed Blair, "I'm here you can tell me anything." She grabbed his chin and gently forced him to look at her. Chuck gulped heavily as he searched Blair's eyes, "Never leave me."
Blair was surprised at Chuck's words, but the vulnerable look in his eyes reassured Blair that he truly meant them. "Never," stated Blair forcefully. She grabbed Chuck's face and kissed him with all of the emotion she could muster. Chuck wove his fingers into Blair's hair, as she mumbled against his lips, "This is forever…"
Chuck enveloped Blair into a hug and began to kiss her neck—when suddenly a loud ringing echoed. The two of them pulled away, "I'm sorry." Chuck kissed Blair's forehead and pulled out his ringing cell phone. "What?" he answered harshly.
Blair watched intently as pure confusion and shock etched Chuck's features. "What the hell are you doing calling me?" Chuck angrily asked. "What? You never call and now…look I'm busy." Chuck ran his fingers through his hair, "I fully capable of making my own decisions. No—I'm not going—what?" His voiced raised, "You've gotta be kidding me!" Chuck slammed his phone shut and threw it against the pavement.
Running towards him, Bair took Chuck's hand. "Chuck"—she began.
"My uncle is here." Chuck stated. "Jack."
