The Mess that is Chuck Bass- Chapter Thirteen
“What did Du just say?” Blair asked because he surely hadn’t just had asked her what she thought. It must have been wishful thinking on her part.
A smile crept over his face. He seemed to be smiling a lot lately. “You heard me exactly right, Blair. I asked Du to marry me, Du know become my wife.”
She chuckled. “You can’t be serious.” Blair still thought that it was a joke. There was no way he could be serious. He was Chuck bass and he didn’t do things like this.
Chuck grabbed her hand and reached inside of his mantel jacke for a square box. He presented it to her and cracked open the lid. “Does this convince Du that this isn’t a joke to me? I’ve never been Mehr serious in my entire life.”
Blair tried to schlucken but found that her mouth felt like cement. She stared at the engagement ring that he had and it was the absolute perfect ring without a doubt. “Wow, I don’t even know what to say right now.”
“Just say yes.” He held out the box to her.
She wanted to say yes Mehr than anything but she tried to hold herself back. One of them had to be reasonable at least. She reached for his hand and grasped onto it. “I’ve dreamed for most of my life about the Tag that man that I Liebe would propose to me. It’s always been a dream of mine and although I used to imagine Nate as the groom that has changed in the last Jahr and a half. I’ve thought of this Tag a lot Chuck, but to be honest I just never thought that Du would ever propose to me. Du don’t do things like this.”
He cradled her hand in his own. “I’ve changed, Blair.” He sounded so sure of everything and grown up that she felt her resolve break.
She continued, “I am sure of only one thing in life right now, and that is that one Tag I will become your wife. We’re meant for each other and we both finally realize that. But there are a couple of things holding me back.”
Some tension started to Zeigen on his face. “What’s holding Du back, Blair?”
“There are three things that I can think of and just let me say them before Du say anything else. First of all, we’re both eighteen and it’s so young to even start thinking about marriage. I always imagined that I would get married when I was in my mid twenties and I had already established my career. I know things don’t always work out that way but still. Then there’s the fact that we just got back together, Chuck.” He looked at her but sagte nothing. “I don’t want to mess us up again and we will if we rush into marriage. We have our whole lives ahead of us.”
He nodded and steeled himself for the Weiter reason. “What else?”
She licked her lips nervously. “And then of course there’s the fact that you’re just getting over your father’s death. We had a long road ahead of us Chuck, and we still do. There is just no reason to rush into anything and I think Du feeling vulnerable because of everything that has happened to you.”
He caressed her palm with his hand. “Can I speak now?”
“Yes.” She managed to squeak out, his touch always got to her no matter how small oder light.
Chuck touched her face lightly before saying, “All those reasons Du just listed for not getting married are valid and I understand you’re reasoning behind all of it. But, I Liebe Du Blair. And that is the only thing that should matter. I never thought that at the age of eighteen that I would be proposing to my girlfriend but that just shows how much I’ve grown up and changed in the past few months. I’m confident enough in our Liebe to know that we can make this work and all I want to do is marry you, Blair. Just say yes. Please.” He added it as an afterthought.
Her words melted her herz but they still didn’t change her mind. “Chuck, we’re just not ready yet. I don’t want Du to think that I don’t Liebe Du just because I’m saying no. Because all I think about all Tag long is how you’re everything to me and how much I really do Liebe you.”
The grin that had been residing on his face collapsed. “Blair, I know that Du Liebe me and I feel the same way about you. But come on, we can do this.”
She shook her head. “I can’t yet but know that someday I will be saying yes to you. But Du might as well practice for the Tag that we do get engaged. Ask me.”
He sighed and grimaced, but he bent down on his knee anyways. “Will Du marry me, Blair?” He asked it in a dreary voice because he knew her answer.
A huge smile came over her face. “YES!!!” She launched herself into his arms.
He was too stunned to do anything other than hug her. He laughed. “Are Du sure?”
“Yes, I am. I want this Mehr than anything but I’m still worried about everything that I sagte before. But with Du Von my side, I know that everything will work itself out. We’ll make sure that it does.”
Chuck wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips against hers. It wasn’t a passionate KISS but it was perfect. The perfect moment.
Blair broke the KISS eagerly. “Put it on my finger.”
The signature Chuck bass grin came over his face and he did as she asked. As soon as he slipped over her finger, the door barged open and Serena flew into the room. She was quickly followed Von Lily and Nate.
Serena glared at them. “What the hell was all the yelling about? Du scared everybody, Blair.”
Blair and Chuck exchanged a look and he nodded. Blair smiled and beckoned to Serena. “Come here, S.”
Serena walked over to her cautiously. “What’s going on? I don’t like the look on your face.”
She sagte nothing but instead just held out her left hand.
Serena immediately saw the glint of the diamond on her hand. She looked from one to the other with a shocked expression her face. “Is this for real?” She asked on a whisper.
Chuck answered for Blair, since she was still incapable of forming whole sentences. “It is, dear sister.”
Serena launched herself at Blair all the while screaming,” OH MY GOD, BLAIR!!!”
She laughed at Serena’s expense. And the two girls stood in the middle of the room jumping up and down.
Nate and Lily came into the room to investigate what was going on. Nate pointed at the girls. “I don’t understand, what’s going on with them? Is everything alright?”
Chuck grinned before saying, “Everything is better than alright. I just proposed to Blair and she accepted which is making me the happiest person in the world right now. Can Du believe I just used the words happy and myself in the same sentence?” He laughed.
Nate looked at him in disbelief. “You proposed to Blair?”
“Yes, I did.”
Nate dragged him up on his feet and threw his arms around him in a bär hug. “Congratulations, Chuck. I always knew that if the two of Du stopped being stubborn that something like this would happen for you. I couldn’t be happier.”
Chuck returned his hug gratefully all the while looking at Blair who was still jumping up and down in thrilling fashion. “You don’t know how much I appreciate that, man. Especially because of all the history the two of Du have.”
Nate waved his statement off. “I am happy for Du because Blair and I were never right for each other, we both know that. It’s always been you, Chuck.”
He nodded with a smile on his face. In fact, he couldn’t seem to wipe the smile off his face no matter how hard he tried. Lily walked up to him with a cautious expression on her face. “You can’t be serious about all of this, Charles.”
Blair stopped jumping to hear the conversation that was about to take place.
“Lily, I am serious and nothing is going to stop me from marrying Blair.”
Lily shook her head in denial. “But you’re so young and it’s foolish.”
Blair bit her lip with a worried fashion while Chuck shut Lily a look that could kill.
She apparently took the hint because she forced her face into a smile. “Well, I don’t necessarily agree with this right now but I need Du in my life, Charles. I know that won’t happen if I have a problem with this, so please except my token of gratitude and congratulations.”
He touched her shoulder gently. “Everything is going to be fine, Lily. I know about all of your concerns but Blair and I have everything under control. We’ve come a long way, and I don’t want our relationship to be ruined over my impending marriage to Blair. Especially just as I was ready to call Du mom.”
Lily threw her arms around his neck and beamed with pride.
Blair snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He smirked at her. “Are Du ready to go celebrate, soon to be Mrs. Bass?”
“You bet I am.” She took his hand and led him out of the room. The time to celebrate had come.
XOXO
Six months later
The wedding preparations had gone off without a hitch. Everything was going to be perfect and everybody that was anybody was going to be attending the wedding of Blair Waldorf and Chuck bass today. Serena was to be the maid of honor and Nate was to be the best man, but of course. It was going to be the biggest wedding that the Upper East Side had ever seen. That was not an understatement.
Chuck waited in the church with baited breath as he watched Blair walk down the aisle towards him. She looked like an ethereal vision in the kleid that she had chosen. She had certainly never looked Mehr beautiful in his eyes. She stood before him and they clasped hands. The ceremony started and most of it was a blur because he was busy staring at the bride to be in front of him. He barely heard the priest say that it was time for the vows. Blair chose to go first.
A tremulously smile was on her face as she looked deeply into his eyes. “Chuck, what would my life be without you? I’ve thought of this Frage many times over the past Jahr and the answer always comes to me immediately. My life without Du is nothing. Du make me the person that I am today.” She wiped a tear off of her cheek. “There was a time that I thought that I knew what I wanted, a planned out life. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. All I want is Du to be in my life and nothing else matters to me anymore.” Blair placed a hand over her heart. “You have completed me, Chuck. And in time I only hope that I can return the favor. I Liebe you, Chuck Bass. Those are words that I thought I would never say but I couldn’t be happier to say them right now. I Liebe you; I will never get tired of saying that.”
He touched her cheek softly before beginning his vows. “Blair. There was a time about a Jahr Vor that I wanted nothing to do with Du oder anybody. And now when I think back on that time, I can’t even imagine what life is without you. A while back when I chased Du and everybody else that I cared about away, Du didn’t give up on me. And I can’t say thank Du enough for that. Because I truly believe that if Du didn’t decide to give up on me that I would have been dead Von this time today. I was slowly dying inside without Du but now your Liebe has revived me.” He pulled her hand tighter into his. “I’ve denied my feelings for Du for the longest time because I always thought Du deserved better.” Blair shook her head adamantly at this and he managed to laugh. “But I’ve come to realize that we’re perfect for each other. There is never going to be anyone better for either of us. We understand each other, we don’t judge each other, there has always been that unbreakably bond between us, we scheme and plot, but most of all we just Liebe each other with a fierce determination. Du are the person that I need; it’s not even a Frage anymore, Blair. Du are a necessity for me to continue on because without Du there is no Chuck. There is nothing and I will never tire of telling Du how much Du mean to me. I Liebe Du Blair Waldorf, and in retrospect I think I always might have.”
His speech was the most beautiful thing that she had ever heard and the tears were running unchecked down her face. She faintly heard the words, “You may KISS your bride”, and then she saw Chuck’s head descending towards her. He restrained himself and gave her the gentlest KISS that was even imaginable. It was gentle, tender, and passionate at the same time. When they broke apart, they both grinned like fools at each other. They were married and they had finally gotten to the place that they were destined to be.
XOXO
It was funny how things worked out. Sometimes life had the most unexpected way of rewarding you. A Jahr after the wedding, Blair welcomed a baby Bass. It was a boy of course. He looked like his father and had her personality. How could he ever go wrong with that?
Finished.
A/N: I kind of had a few Mehr ideas for this one but the severe writer’s block for this got to me and I decided to end it. I hope I didn’t make it too fluffy. I just needed to finish one of my fics since I still have four in progress. I also have a new idea for a story but I will not be Schreiben that for a while. Reviews for the last time for this story? Please? Weiter update will be Temptation of the Best Kind and I still have no idea what I’m going to do with that one.
