Chapter 9: Chemistry recovered
When he kissed her she felt so alive, it was like fireworks but with butterflies. She grabbed onto his shirt trying to rip it apart she had never wanted Chuck Bass more than she did at this precise moment. He looked so gorgeous. No beyond gorgeous there was no words for how much she wanted him. The fireworks were ready to blast. When he kissed her Blair felt so much passion and excitement she hadn't experienced this for years. When he kissed her back it felt so incredible she shouldn't be thinking like that not now she was engaged to Nate. But when she was with Chuck that didn't matter. She knew it was bad to think that way but it didn't no one else mattered to her.
They fell onto the bed. Passion racing through their veins. Chuck held onto Blair around her waist and she ran her fingers through his hair.
She kissed him again and gazed into his dark eyes. That should tell her something, he had dark shifty eyes, they had that message 'stay away I'm evil'. But he wasn't evil that wasn't Chuck Bass anymore she wasn't sure if it ever was. It was just a front.
The anguish of missing eachother had been building up over those missed years neither of them could wait for the other any longer. They had to have eachother there and then.
They were Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. They would define the word epic. Nothing would be same once they got together.
Once they had spent that night together both lay half asleep side by side. Chuck's arms were wrapped around her. She felt safe with him which was ironic since he was the dangerous Upper East Side boy, but he wasn't anymore he had changed.
He kissed her one last kiss before the time would come for them to part. Blair didn't want it to end.
“I love you”
She said as soon as the last letter left her lips she didn't regret it. His placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her lips towards him. She kissed him again.
“I love you Blair”
She smiled.
Her eyes burst wide open her hand jumped onto his and held on tight. She sat up in bed the blood was flowing rapidly though her veins, her heart was beating so fast, her stomach was filled with butterflies. Blair breathed slowly and calmly. She let go of his hand, lay back in bed and shut her eyes.
It was just a dream.
_ _ _
Chuck had been away three weeks, two days not that Blair was keeping count of course she had been way to busy.
It was now six months to the wedding and things were progressing rather nicely.
Today Blair thought she might take a wedding dress shopping trip. Just window shopping. It was much to early to buy the dress now.
She and Serena took the limo down to fifth. They had been browsing all day but nothing so they ventured into the village where they stumbled upon something or should they say someone rather familiar.
“Jenny Humphrey! Oh my God”
They stood outside her store on 56th street. The windows were filled with mannequins dressed in rather nice clothing which surprised Blair she wasn't much a fan of J. Humphrey designs but she might of changed her style for the better.
“Jenny, Oh lets go say Hi Blair”
Serena jumped up and down and said. Blair's response was short and to the point.
“No thanks”
The smile fell straight of Serena's face.
“Oh why not?”
“I'm not really looking to rekindle my 'friendship' with her”
“Blair we are shopping. That is a store with pretty great clothes I'm going in. Join me if you change your mind”
Blair sighed before following Serena into the store.
Jenny hadn't changed in looks. Still with blonde locks and dark make-up. She had finished her course at Parsons New School for Design and had just opened her very own Manhattan boutique even though she hated to leave Brooklyn, Manhattan was the place to be if she was going to make anything of her fashion designs. It just so happened Jenny was inside working on her new spring collection for the coming year.
“So how have you been Jenny?”
“I've been good thanks Serena, Dan told me you were back how was the show?”
“Oh it great and listen any time you need a model give me a call”
“You serious”
“Of course”
Serena and Jenny's friendly chat continued. Blair just stood browsing the store for something that was her style but no such luck. It was basically off the rack and Blair Waldorf did not do off the rack no matter how much she'd changed from high school she was still a bitch inside.
_ _ _
He was missing the city so much. But not only the city, the people. Blair.
She was back in his life now and no matter how much he tried to hide from it she wasn't going anywhere. He thought playing the temptation game was going to work but it was evident that it wasn't. Blair was not going to cheat on Nate and really he wouldn't want her too. He didn't want to be her dirty little secret. He wanted to be her everything.
There was another business meeting that day in the gherkin building but Chuck's mind wasn't really on business. It had been that way for months and his performance in the office was starting to suffer. Not that it mattered of course when you're the CEO it doesn't matter as much.
He was waiting outside in the holding area when a very...Very beautiful young business woman approached him.
“Hi sorry I'm meant to be in a meeting do you know how to get to conference room 9?”
She politely asked.
“Try the elevator”
Chuck answered not really looking at her.
“Oh you're American too great I thought I was the only one...Sorry I'm Gabrielle, Gabby”
He lifted his head from the brochure he was reading to his amazement she was extraordinarily beautiful. He smiled and replied,
“I'm Chuck Bass”
… Enough said.
_ _ _
Blair and Serena weren't the only people bumping into familiar faces that day. Nate was just returning from the studio he decided to take a short cut through Central park when he ran into an old flame. Well they were in New York and it was likely knowing the teenage Nate.
He was rushing to get home and surprise Blair, he had something special planned for his fiancé. But in the commotion he ran into her.
“I'm so sorry...Vanessa?”
She looked up from picking up her bag from the floor.
“Nate? That you?”
“Oh my God Vanessa. Wow you look great”
“Thanks so do you”
She wasn't alone either. A cute little dark haired boy was standing beside her holding tight onto her hand. He smiled up at Nate.
“Who's this?”
“This is Matthew, my son”
“You've got a son?”
Nate seemed so surprised but why should he be. Vanessa was beautiful of course she would find someone else after him. But it was still a shock to see her again and with a child. So much must of happened.
Nate decided to cut his short cut and walk with Vanessa in the opposite direction. Matthew had rushed ahead of them and was playing with some of his friends.
“I heard you were getting married...”
Vanessa stated, waiting to see how he would respond.
“How do you know that?”
“Dan told me, Can't say I was surprised but I was when I found out who too, Blair huh”
His moved away from her for a second explaining Blair to Vanessa was not going to comfortable but he was going to tell her. He wanted everyone to know about him and Blair. So there they walked for the next hour. Nate told Vanessa about Blair and how she had changed and was such an amazing person now, she was kind, friendly, thoughtful and was as beautiful as ever. Not that she believed him. Vanessa also filled Nate in on her life. She was married to man called Caleb. They had married four years ago and they had a son.
Vanessa was happy and Nate was happy for her. But they never did talk about the time they broke up. It was a little too sensitive even now so Nate didn't mention that Serena was back in the city, he didn't want to rake up all those all memories and Serena was hardly Vanessa's favourite person...
_ _ _
It was two weeks later. Nate was whisking Blair off to Paris for the week. Now that was love. That was his surprise. Blair was overjoyed. It had been a while since her last trip to Paris and this time she could not wait for it.
They took a limo to the airport and as they did the subject of Jenny Humphrey came up.
“...Oh that reminds me I saw Jenny Humphrey the other week”
Another one of his 'girls'. Nate didn't like talking about all the girls he had dated with Blair it didn't feel right he had been with so many girls and Blair she had her fair share but nothing compared to Nate. He replied.
“Oh how was she?”
Blair sighed.
“Still a washed up wannabe”
Even though she was his ex-girlfriend he jumped in to defend her.
“She was never a wannabe from what I saw”
Blair giggled.
“Well you're no judge of character look at you and Vanessa”
“I'm an excellent judge of character”
Nate tried to fight back but he had no chance against Blair.
“Ha!”
Blair laughed.
Just as they got ready for the plane they had to wait for the arrivals from London. Blair suddenly thought of something.
London? Plane? Chuck.
Blair stopped for a second. Was it today that he was back?
It was.
So it came as no surprise when he stepped out of the arrivals terminal.
Blair saw him first but tried to avoid him. She tried to push Nate away so that she wouldn't have to see him but Nate spotted him.
“Hey Chuck”
“Nate what are you doing?”
Blair nudged him. But by the time he had a chance to answer Chuck was already making his way over to the couple. Nate shook his hand and said,
“Where have you been?”
“Oh London business you know”
“Oh right...”
“You two off somewhere?”
“Yeah Paris”
“Nice...”
No one spoke for the next few minutes. Then Nate needed some help from the desk about the surprise upgrade he had planned for Blair. He knew she wasn't happy about flying business class, she would love him even more when she discovered they were being moved up to first. He left Chuck and Blair to talk.
“Wow did you plan this Chuck?”
He shook his hand and grinned at her annoyed expression.
“You're the one who decided to go to Paris I wasn't here. It's called fate Blair it's meant to be telling you something”
“Ugh...”
The limo driver called for Chuck.
“Well...Enjoy your trip Blair...Don't miss me too much”
He jokingly said, but she knew it was no joke.
“Ohh get over yourself”
“I think I'll leave that to you”
Blair snapped. She had had enough of his games. He was not going to ruin this trip for them. They hadn't even got going yet and she was already bumping into Chuck. Knowing her luck he would probably pitch up outside their hotel in Paris.
“Listen to me Bass nothing is happening here. Get it?!”
“Got it Waldorf”
He said smiling at her, while Blair was trying not to look at him she couldn't help but have that small smile climb onto her face but at the same time trying to hide it from him.
Nate called over from the desk.
“Blair! I think we should be checking in”
Chuck and Blair both turned to Nate. Chuck couldn't help but grin at Nate, he knew it would annoy Blair. He walked past her
“You're other half is calling”
Her eyes were like daggers throwing themselves towards Chuck.
“Have a nice time Blair”
He stepped forward towards her and kissed her goodbye on the cheek. Blair's eyes slowly closed themselves. Her dream kept replying itself in her mind. No matter how much she tried to think of something else it wouldn't go away.
Chuck stepped away from her and winked. Luckily for her Nate wasn't that observant. But you don't need to be rocket scientist to work it out, the chemistry was most defiantly back, or maybe it never even left.
