The Mess that is Chuck Bass- Chapter Ten
Her world stopped when she heard those three little words. The words that she had been waiting for months. She tried to breathe, but found that she couldn’t. “What did you just say?”
Chuck looked at her with a serious face but then he burst into a grin. “I said that I love you, Blair.”
Her heart felt like it was exploding out of her chest and she felt the need to sit down before she collapsed. “Are you serious? You’re not just saying that are you because you think it’s what I expect to hear from you?” She waited for his answer but he just gave her a look that said she should know better.
Chuck sat down next to her on the bed; he looked at the ground as he spoke. “I’ve never told anybody that I love them, not even my father. So if I’m telling you, you’ve got to know that I would never lie about something like that.” He brought his eyes to hers. “I really do love you, Blair. I have for months but I was afraid to say it. But not anymore.”
She felt tears spring to her eyes. “Chuck, you know how much I love you. Don’t you?”
He looked at her and the emotion was right there in his eyes. “I do and I love you just as much.”
“You don’t know how long I have waited to hear you say that.”
“I’m sorry it’s taken me so long.”
She lifted his chin and looked deeply into his eyes. “Hey, don’t apologize. As long as you’re in the same place now as I am now, that’s all that matters. I would have waited for you forever, Chuck.”
“Thank you for not giving up on me.” He whispered.
“I would never have given up on you, and know I now you’re truly back. I’ve missed you so much. This is Chuck Bass that I fell in love with.” Blair clasped his hand with hers.
He let his fingers move over the base of her palm. “Do you know I think I would have been lost forever if you didn’t come for me? That’s how screwed up I was. I really don’t deserve you, Blair.”
“You do if I say you do, Chuck. The thing I want most is for us to be together and none of the stupid shit that has happened to us before. No more interruptions, or other people, it’s finally time for us to just be us. That’s why we’re Chuck and Blair.”
“I really am sorry for everything.”
“I know, Chuck. Everything that has happened to us in the past doesn’t matter anymore; let’s just start out fresh and new.”
He smiled. “I will definitely agree with you on that. But something you said, I don’t know if I can agree too.”
She thought back to everything that she had said, but couldn’t think of anything that he wouldn’t want to agree on. “What’s that?”
He smirked and she saw a playful light in his eyes. “On the count of us fighting. I always enjoyed our little skirmishes. We do our best making up when we’re mad.”
She burst out laughing. “I have to admit too, that I really do enjoy when we fight. You’re unbelievably sexy when you’re mad, Chuck.”
He arched an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Oh yeah.”
“Then let me show how sexy I really can be.”
“Finally.” Blair sighed in relief.
They kissed and everything went into sync. It was finally the right time for them and they both felt it. Their clothes were quickly dropped to the floor and they both tumbled back on to the bed. There was no reason for foreplay; they were both beyond that stage at this point. Chuck kissed his way down her body and when he was convinced that she was ready for him, he slipped his length inside of her body. Blair gasped at the contact and arched her hips to meet his long and steady strokes.
“This has been so worth the wait.” She moaned as she was nearing her peak, although she felt the need to say something to signify how much he made her feel.
“Yeah, it fucking has.” He grunted in return.
His thrusting never stopped and when he felt like Blair was going to go over the edge, he slipped a hand down to her sex and thrust one of his fingers inside. That did it, she came totally undone and had what she would swear was an earth shattering climax.
He watched her face as she climaxed and that’s what made him go over the edge. Her face was absolutely beautiful. “I love you, Blair.” He rasped as he exploded. He felt the need to say it over and over again because of all the time he had lost by not saying it.
She laid her head on his chest and they were silent, still basking in the afterglow. A thought occurred to her and she didn’t like to think about it but she felt the need to know the answer. “Chuck?”
“Hmm?”
“After Bart’s death and up until now, how many people did you have sex with?”
He swallowed hard, wishing that she had never asked him this particular question. “Do you have to know this? Blair?” There was a hard edge to his voice.
She placated him. “Don’t worry; I’m not going to be mad or anything. I was just wondering.”
He put his arm around her and drew Blair closer to him. “Let’s just say that the number isn’t small, actually it’s quite large. But they meant nothing to me, every time I would sleep with somebody else I would be thinking of you.”
She nodded, but felt jealousy burning in the hollow of her stomach. “Okay. I actually slept with somebody while you were gone.”
Her words made his head spin. “Who?” He sputtered.
“Carter Baizen.”
“Are you fucking serious?”
“Yeah, I actually am. It was right after Bart’s funeral and after the night you left. I was just so depressed and he was there. It was only once and I haven’t been with anybody but him.”
He knew he shouldn’t be angry, but he couldn’t help it. “How could you fuck him, Blair?”
She raised her head and looked into his eyes. “It was nothing Chuck, just like you with all of those other women. I just thought that I would tell you. I mean my list is quite small compared to yours. I’ve only slept with Carter, Nate, and you.”
“What about Marcus? You didn’t say him.” Her list was absolutely tiny compared to his and he knew that he would have to forget about Carter. He just didn’t like to think about anyone touching her other than him.”
Her tongue darted out to wet her lips before she made her confession. “I never slept with Marcus. Never.”
“You didn’t?”
She heard the shock evident in his voice and wondered if he even believed her. “I was going too, to try and forget about you. But the night at my party, when we almost made love I found that I couldn’t. I never cared about Marcus, he was only a distraction to try and forget about how much I was in love with you.”
He cursed his heart, which was fluttering wildly in his chest. “I couldn’t stand the thought of him touching you, when all I wanted to do is be with you.” Chuck ran his hand up and down her arm. “I’m really glad that you told me that, Blair.”
“So, are we okay then?”
“Sure. I can’t be mad at you for sleeping with Carter because I know I wasn’t there for you.”
She sat up in bed and moved all the way to the other side of the bed.
“Blair?” He asked in concern.
“I have one more question, and then I swear that I will stop. Are you going to be able to be faithful to me? Because if I find out that you’ve cheated on me, it will absolutely kill me. I won’t be able to handle it. I can forgive all of the other women in the past but you have to promise me there is going to be no one other than me.”
She looked into his face hopefully and he was happy that he could put this fear of hers to rest. “Blair, I promise you that there will not be anybody but you. I don’t want anybody else and I haven’t since that night in the limo.”
She decided that she would trust him and give him her heart; she just prayed that it wouldn’t be broken again. “Alright, I believe you.”
He grabbed her and decided that he was going to try and lighten the mood. He brought her around to him, so she was straddling him. “Did I ever tell you that I want to try the reverse cowboy position with you?”
Blair grinned. “You mean like this?” She slammed her hips down on his and he was delved into her heat and warmth of her body. He grabbed her hips, but was incapable of talking. She started to ride him up and down.
“Didn’t you know Bass, that I can be quite a naughty cowgirl?”
XOXO
“Chuck, come on. They were nice enough to invite us to brunch. We’ve got to go.” Blair dragged him down the hallway of his own house.
He grabbed her hand and drew her flush up against his body. “Why? I’d rather spend the whole day in bed with you. Naked.” He said with a lecherous grin.
“I would too, but we have time for that later.” She kissed him quickly on the lips, but it turned into a passionate kiss filled with tongue. They didn’t break apart until they heard the door open; Blair lifted her head to see Lily, Serena, Dan, Nate, and Eric staring back at them.
Chuck smiled at them all with a wolfish grin on his face while she felt embarrassed that everyone had seen her making out. Blair gave them all an I’m sorry that I got caught making out with my boyfriend smile and she and Chuck sat down around the table where everyone was eating brunch.
He sat down next to Nate and they both stared at each other, until he reached out to Nate and they both shared a hug.
“I missed you man.” Nate said as he broke their hug.
Chuck nodded. “Yeah, I missed having my best friend around and I am sorry about the night when I flipped out with you and Blair.”
Nate waved off his apology. “Don’t worry about it. I understand and just so you know I’m glad that the two of you finally have gotten together. She’s much better off with you than me.”
“I can’t still believe all she’s done for me. And I finally realized that I can’t be without her in my life. I told her that I love her, Nathaniel.”
He gave Chuck a surprised look. “Do you?”
Blair peeked her head over Chuck’s shoulder. “Of course he does, Nate. Just because you didn’t realize what you had with me, not everyone makes the same mistakes as you do.” She said it with a playful smile.
Chuck roared with laughter at her and he pecked the top of her head with a kiss. “I do love her; I mean how could you not?”
Blair returned his smile. “Same goes for me, Bass.” She turned around and got back to her conversation with Serena and Lily.
Chuck still had a smile on and Nate commented on it. “It’s good to see you back, Chuck. We were all really worried about you.”
“I know. Thanks for being patient with me. So what’s been going on with you since I’ve been gone?”
Nate grimaced. “Well things haven’t been so great. My dad turned himself in and went to jail. That was definitely the hardest thing that I’ve had to go through.”
Chuck nodded because he understood. Their dads had both been one and the same. Both trouble. “I’m really sorry I wasn’t here for you, man.”
“I know. But things are starting to look up. I don’t know if Blair told you but I’m dating Vanessa.”
Chuck almost spit out his piece of bacon that he had just picked up. “You call that looking up? What the hell is the matter with you? Vanessa is way beneath you; as a matter of fact she’s far down that she might as well be in the sewer.”
Nate laughed, even though he was making fun of his girlfriend. “Well, now I know you’re back. When you start making fun of my girlfriends that’s a sign that everything is okay with you. The only one you never made fun of was Blair.”
He spread his eyes and grinned. “What can I say, I’m Chuck Bass.”
They both laughed and Chuck felt happier than he ever had. He had Blair and his friendship with Nate was back on track.
Blair laid her head on his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around her neck. It was amazing, he didn’t feel confined by this thing with Blair. He just wanted more. He wasn’t afraid to show his feelings for her anymore.
“Are you alright?” She asked.
“Yeah, I really am. Everything is finally right, again.” He saw Serena next to Blair give him an encouraging smile and he returned it. Even Serena seemed to be warming up to him and that was one hell of accomplishment.
He talked to Eric for a little while and he found that he had missed the kid. Eric was one of the few that had always truly cared about him. But he had something to say to Lily and he better do it now before he chickened out on it.
“Lily.” He said in a sharp tone. He still had not forgiven her and didn’t think he ever would completely. There was still too much hurt there.
Everyone turned to look at him when he addressed Lily. But she answered him anxiously. “Yes, Charles?”
“I have something that I want to ask you.”
“Go ahead.”
Chuck took a deep breath and felt like he was about to go head first over a cliff with sharks swimming below him. “I want to know what I have to do so that I can be the head of Bass Industries.”

“Thank you for not giving up on me.” He whispered.
“I would never have given up on you, and know I now you’re truly back. I’ve missed you so much. This is Chuck Bass that I fell in love with.” Blair clasped his hand with hers.
