Road to Happiness Part 12

“What did you just say? Nate knew about us?” Blair asked, shocked beyond belief.
Chuck sighed, “Yeah. He’s known for a long time.”
“How the hell did he find out?”
Chuck looked at her, with a sad expression on his face. “I don’t know how he found out, but he threatened me, so I would break up with you.”
“That fucking bastard. I’m going to kill him, Chuck.” Blair stated matter of factly.
Blair ordered herself to stay calm, until she knew all the facts.
She continued, “That’s the only reason you broke up with me? I thought you hated me.”
He reached over and stroked her face. “I could never hate you, Blair. I’ve been in love with you ever since that night in the back of my limo.”
“You have?” Blair questioned.
“Yes, and all these years later, I’m more in love with you than ever. I’ve tried so hard to forget you, but I can’t. It’s impossible to forget Blair Waldorf.”
Blair smiled at this, but quickly turned serious. “Why didn’t you just tell Nate to go to hell? Why did you let him break us apart?”
This was the part that Chuck had been dreading. “He’s got something on me, and has been blackmailing me with it. It’s something I never wanted you to find out, but I’m finally prepared to tell you.”
She looked up at him expectantly.
Chuck continued, “I will tell you, but not yet. It has to wait, because I’m planning something. But rest assured Blair, I’ll tell you because I love you.”
Blair pecked him on the lips. “I’ll wait for whatever you have to tell me, because I trust you. I love you so much, Chuck.”
He wrapped his arms around her, and they kissed passionately. When they broke apart a few minutes later, they were both flushed.
Chuck sighed into her ear, “I love you too, Waldorf.”
She leaned back against his chest, and spoke. “What are we going to do about Nate? He can’t get away with what he’s done to us. He has to pay.”
Don’t worry, Blair. I’m going to destroy the fucker. I think I’ve got something on him, my private eye has been digging up dirt on, Dear Nathaniel.”
“What is it?” Blair asked excitedly.
“I can’t tell you yet, until I’m sure. I don’t want you to get your hopes up, until I’m positive.”
She pouted and Chuck laughed, “Although, I could use some help plotting against him. But before we do that, there’s one other thing we have to do.”
“What’s that?” She asked, even though Blair had a pretty good idea.
Chuck growled, “First, I’m going to ravish you. It’s been way too long, Blair.”
He plunged his tongue into her mouth, and Chuck kept his word. He ravished Blair all night long, and then again in the morning, in the shower. All over the room they made love, because they were making up for lost time.
The next week, Blair and Chuck spent entirely together. They plotted against Nate, made love , talked, and went to central park. In essence, they did all the things they should have being doing years ago. It felt perfect, all was right with the world.
After a while, Blair decided it was time to pay Serena a visit. On the way to her loft, Blair couldn’t stop smiling, and thinking about how happy she was. Chuck definitely brought out the best in her.
She knocked on Serena’s door, it opened, and she was staring at Serena’s rounded belly from pregnancy. A smile lit up Serena’s face.
“Oh B, I’m so glad you came.”
Blair pushed her way into the apartment. “Serena, I didn’t come here to forgive you. I’m still pissed as hell, but I want to thank you for having an affair with Nate”
“What are you talking about, Blair?” Serena asked curiously.
Blair continued, “Like I said, I want to thank you for screwing my fiancée. The only reason I’m saying that, is because it brought Chuck and I back together. That’s all that matters to me, Chuck is my life now.”
Serena smiled. “I’m very happy for you then, Blair.”
Blair sighed, “There’s something about Nate you should know.” She then launched into the whole story of what Nate had done to Chuck.
When she had finished, Serena looked repulsed. “I can’t believe he would do that too you guys. It’s absolutely disgusting, and I can’t believe I ever let him touch me. I’m sorry for all you’ve had to go through lately, Blair.”
“I am too, Serena. I can possibly get over you having an affair with Nate, because I don’t love him. What I can’t get over is this thing with Chuck, why would you try to seduce him? I can’t believe you would do that to your best friend, as you claim.”
Serena sighed, “That was nothing, I never wanted Chuck. It was a test to see if he was still in love with you.”
Blair was very confused. “Wait, I don’t understand.”
Serena continued, “I wanted to see if I came on to Chuck, if he would resist me. The old Chuck would sleep with anybody, so I wanted to see if he was still pining away for you, like you were with him. Every time I seduced him, he refused me. After awhile I asked why he didn’t want me, and Chuck told me he could just never do that to you. That’s how I knew he was still in love with you.”
Blair looked shocked at what she had just admitted. “That was very sneaky, Serena. What if it had backfired on you, and Chuck wanted to sleep with you?”
“I never thought of that, Blair.” Serena said dumbstruck.
“Of course you didn’t S.”
Serena went over to Blair, to hug her. She instantly flinched, and moved away from Serena.
“I need time, Serena. I can’t be your friend right now.”
Serena nodded, but looked upset. Blair reached out gingerly to pat Serena’s belly, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. Serena opened the door, and there stood Nate.
“What the hell are you doing here, Nate?” Serena asked viciously.
Blair on the other hand barked with laughter. “Don’t you know Serena, he wants to continue his shabby affair with you.”
Nate looked sweetly at Blair. “Nice to see you too, baby.” He moved and went over to kiss her, but Blair pushed him until his body touched the wall.
“Don’t you ever touch me again, you piece of shit.” She hissed in his face.
“Calm down, Blair. It’s not like I want to touch you.” Nate snarled back.
He turned to look at Serena, and finally noticed her pregnant belly. “Is that mine?” Nate asked horrified.
Serena swallowed hard, and began to stutter in response. Blair quickly interrupted her.
“Of course it’s not yours. She’s already had a paternity test done, and that confirmed that it was Dan’s.”Blair lied, and Serena looked over at her gratefully.
“Thank god, I don’t want a bastard.” He said harshly.
Blair slapped him as hard as she could across the face. “You fucking bastard, stay away from the both of us. I know what you did.” She spat in Nate’s face.
Nate rubbed his cheek, but asked rather amused, “What is it that I did?”
Blair continued, “Chuck. I know what you did to Chuck.”
Nate looked at her in surprise.
Blair ignored him. “You will pay for what’ve you done. Chuck has told me everything. I can’t believe you would do that to us, you knew we were in love.”
Nate was outraged. “Love? Chuck Bass doesn’t love anything or anybody. Chuck’s only with you because of me, he doing it out of spite for what I’ve done to him. How long do you think it will be before he strays? Chuck can’t remain faithful to one person, it’s not in his DNA to do so.”
Blair looked at him with disdain. “I’m not falling for it, Archibald. Chuck loves me, and I love him. I trust him 100 percent.”
“A mistake.” He said softly.
Blair ignored him again. “You’ve wasted three fucking years of our life, and I’m pissed about it. You better watch out, we’re going to destroy you. When Chuck and I are done with you, you’re going to want to hide. I hope you’re looking forward to your social destruction.”
“Bring it on princess. I’m going to destroy you, not the other way around.” Nate said cockily.
“We’ll see, asshole. Never bet against a Bass and a Waldorf.”
Nate grinned, and then left. After the door closed, Blair started fuming.
“What are you going to do to him, B?” Serena asked.
Blair looked around in surprise, she had forgotten that Serena was there.
“Something horrible, the wedding is off. I’ve got to go see, Chuck. I’ll call you later, Serena.”
Serena looked at her, “Just be careful, Blair.”
“I always am.”
Blair left the loft and went to Chuck suite at the Plaza. As soon as he opened the door, Chuck grabbed her.
“I’ve missed you.” He said as he nuzzled her neck.
She smiled, despite her confrontation with Nate. She grabbed his hand, as it went wandering under her skirt.
“Not yet, baby. We have to talk first.”
Chuck looked disappointed, but agreed, “Okay.”
Blair sighed, “I went to Serena’s, and I ran into Nate there. We had a huge blowout. I told the son of a bitch, that I knew what he did to you.”
Chuck motioned for her to continue.
“I basically told him not to fuck with us.”
He smiled at her and whispered, “That’s my girl. It sounds like you were wonderful, Waldorf.”
She returned his smile, but quickly turned serious again. “Chuck, we have to destroy him. It’s time you tell me what dirt you have on Nate.”
Chuck’s face turned dark. “Alright, but it’s not pretty Blair. We have reason to believe that Nathaniel is embezzling money from your mother’s company. That’s the reason he wants to marry you, so he can keep doing it.”
She was shocked. Even after everything Nate had done, she never expected anything like this.”
“He’s stealing money from Waldorf Designs?”
Chuck grimaced. “Yeah he is. I’m sorry, Blair.”
She looked at him with wild eyes. “What are we going to do about it?”
He exhaled, “First we have to form the perfect plot, and that’s going to take some time. After we figure out a plan, we’re going to crush him. Nathaniel Archibald is going to be utterly destroyed.”
Blair was very hurt at what Nate was doing to her and her mother.
Chuck reassured her, “We’re going to get him, Blair. After all plotting and scheming are one of the things we do best, among other things.”
He saw Blair grin at him. He continued, “In all seriousness Blair, I think it’s time I told you. Nate will tell you soon enough anyways. I want to tell you what I’ve been hiding from you.”
Blair looked anxious, and nodded.
“It’s big, Blair. I just hope when I’m done, you don’t hate me.”
“I love you, Chuck. No matter what it is you’re about to tell me, I will stand by you.”
Chuck took a very deep breath, and began to tell Blair his deadly secret.
