Chapter 5: Remember Us
It was the inayofuata morning. Blair was lying alone in kitanda as she woke. God what had she been drinking last night she thought. Never again. Her head was thumping. She pushed the duvet away and got out of bed.
Where was Nate?
Her vision seemed a little blurred when she stared at the clock on the wall. What was the time? Then her sight got clearer, It was midday! Gosh! She had never slept in that long before, It must have been a very good night, But of course Blair could not remember a thing.
She then noticed a piece of paper lying on the satin mto on the bed. She walked over and reached for it,
'Gone to work see wewe tonight. upendo Nate xxx'
Oh wasn't he a sweetheart?
_ _ _
Oh God there he was. Just try to hide he told himself he might not see me, Just shut up and stay out of sight. Too late.
“Chuck...?”
Great. He had been spotted. Spotted. That's when he remembered Gossip Girl. Was she au he still around? That would be interesting to find out. kwa the time he had wondered about Gossip Girl Nate had made his way over.
“It is...Chuck Bass”
He took his hand, shook it and gave him a manly hug. Chuck was not looking mbele to this conversation.
“How are wewe man? I haven't heard from wewe for...years”
“Yeah, I'm great. How are you? No need to ask right, Getting married...To Blair”
Nate looked away but nodded slightly, He didn't know what Chuck's reaction would be.
“That's great...I'm really happy for wewe guys”
Saying those words nearly killed him. He wasn't at all happy for them but he could hardly come out with what he really wanted to say,
“Hey Nate yeah I can't let wewe marry Blair, I still upendo her”.
He could hardy say that now could he.
“Phew. I was a bit worried about telling you, wewe know since...”
He didn't finish his sentence. It didn't need finishing, Since what? Since Blair and Chuck were so obviously in upendo and how bad timing had separated them and God knows where they would be today if Yale hadn't of happened, If that week away in Vermont would of lead to something more, au if Blair would have been honest with herself five years zamani and accepted who she had fallen for not tried to runaway from it. Who knows where they would be?
But one thing he did know, Blair would be Mrs Archibald soon and he could not let that happen, He had to figure this out. But where better to begin than with a lie.
“No, That was years ago, It doesn't matter now”
How easy it was to lie.
_ _ _
A few days later Blair was Downtown she was searching the art galleries for the perfect piece to put in the living room. Something unique but shouted Blair Waldorf au Blair Archibald. Didn't sound right somehow, Maybe she should keep her name? au maybe Blair Waldorf-Archibald au Archibald-Waldorf?
That wasn't important right now, What was? Finding that art piece. Maybe a trip to a certain gallery in Brooklyn was needed.
Bedford Avenue Gallery. It still looked the same. Blair went inside, After a few dakika observing the art the assistant strolled over.
“Can I help you?”
She turned and smiled.
“What are wewe doing here?”
Dan.
“I like to help Dad out when I'm free, wewe looking for art?”
A sarcastic maoni was coming his way.
“No, I just thought I'd stroll over to Brooklyn for no apparent reason”
“Hey sarcasm's my thing”
They both laughed.
“You want a coffee?”
“Sure”
A little later on, Blair and Dan were still chatting they still had so many things to catch up on, One thing was puzzling Dan so doing what he did best he just came right out and alisema what was on his mind.
“So does Nate know about Yale?”
She looked away, Avoiding the question.
“Blair...”
“No he doesn't, And he's not going to”
The judgemental Dan Humphrey was rising back to the surface. Blair rolled her eyes.
“Don't give me that look. It was great, Amazing what wewe did but I can't tell Nate about it, Mark and Chuck. He wouldn't understand”
“Why don't wewe tell him about Mark?”
There's someone Blair hadn't thought about for a long time, With good reason.
She did nothing but lie to him while they were at Yale together. Dating. She lied about her past, Her friends, Chuck, And if Mark would of found out about that night five years zamani he would of flipped. He was like Chuck in a way, He didn't like anyone else to have what he thought belonged to him, Like Blair but they had only been dating a few months but things were great between them until that night she returned to the city.
_ _ _
Five years earlier.
Working her way up those stairs to his suite reminded her of the old days, She should be getting back to Yale. She took one step back, but two steps mbele and that was the answer to her question, She didn't realise she was doing it but everytime she did it was one step closer to Chuck and one step away from Mark she was leaving him behind and chasing the dream au the forgotten dream as it was now.
When she got to the suite the door was open as if it was waiting for her to enter. She pushed the door open and walked inside closing the door shut as she did.
He was there waiting for her. He knew she was coming, How could she not, She was still his and he hers.
She could not look at him. She could not say no. All the feelings she had been getting over the last three years just kept on building and building.
He was standing behind her waiting for her decision.
She stood still, No emotion.
She thought of Mark back at Yale. Tonight was their mwaka anniversary, And she should be getting nyumbani to him, He had probably prepared a special night for them.
She lifted her watch to her eye sight. It was seven thirty. She had to be back kwa eight. She had promised.
Chuck took a step closer to her.
“Well, What's it to be?”
Her eyes slowly closed.
A slight movement. Chuck knew it wouldn't be easy to seduce Blair.
His hands moved to her waist. He held her so tight. Her head leant backwards onto his shoulder, He gazed and lightly kissed her neck.
Still with the vision of Mark in her head. She felt so guilty. She was about to sin. She held onto his hand.
“Chuck...Please, I can't...I upendo Mark”
She bit her lip, She was scared what his response would be. But it was obvious what it was going to be. He murmured.
“Is that why your with me?”
Blair looked confused kwa this. But it was true. Why was she with Chuck when she should be with Mark? Maybe, Just maybe those feelings she had all those years zamani hadn't completely gone away.
It was temptation.
A kiss.
That's where it all began, This was Chuck and Blair sekunde time around. Chuck and Blair two point O. Chuck and Blair together again.
“I don't upendo wewe anymore”
She murmured while she was shivering, Her eyes began to well up with crystal clear tears. She knew the words that were going to come out of his mouth, They were unstoppable, He was going to say it whether she liked it au not.
“I still upendo you”
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head again. She didn't want to hear it. It would be so much harder to let go. But she couldn't.
“Remember what wewe told me in Vermont”
Yes. She did. She nodded.
“I need wewe Blair, You're the only one who can control me, No one does it like you”
She could barely keep her eyes from crying. His hand gently stroked her cheek. Blair closed her eyes yet again. She should have been thinking about Mark. But no. Nothing. Her mind was a blank canvas. Nothing.
Their foreheads glued to the other, She could not stop herself. She kissed him again but this time she did not stop. They both continued. After all they were the king and Queen of midnight make-outs.
Patience is a virtue, And Chuck bass, besi has been patient. He had waited long enough for this moment and now he had it.
It was midnight when Chuck woke and he had a strange feeling, He finally had that feeling of love. Being loved. Now that Blair was with him. He was happy. He could get back on his feet, With Blair kwa his side he could take on the world.
She seemed so peaceful lying inayofuata to him. Her big brown doe eyes were closed, shut tight. He wished she was awake. He wanted to kiss her. But he would have to wait, She would wake up soon and then everything would be perfect it would be a dream come true.
It's such a shame dreams never come true, au least Chuck Bass' dreams never come true.
Chuck could not get back to sleep after midnight he was too busy thinking of his new found purpose in life. He slowly got out of the kitanda and walked over to the arm chair on the other side of the room and just sat there for a while. Blair didn't even notice, She was dead to the world.
After about two hours sitting in his chair Chuck was finally drifting off but Blair woke just at the moment he was.
She sat up in kitanda rubbed her eyes and gazed over towards Chuck he looked like he was asleep, She wondered whether she should wake him.
She stepped out of kitanda trying not to make a sound and walked over to him. She whispered quietly,
“Chuck...Are wewe awake?”
No answer.
She smiled down at him and lightly kissed him on the forehead so as not to wake him.
He wasn't even sleeping.
She began to walk away from him but he wasn't asleep he held onto her hand and pulled her towards him and what he wanted to do two hours zamani he could now do.
He held around her and after their kiss he stopped.
“What is it?”
Blair asked. He gazed at the floor and finally worked up the courage to say it.
“I upendo you”
She also now gazed at the floor, But she could not say it back. She answered in the way she knew how. She kissed him.
The inayofuata night.
It was really quiet. Both just sat on opposite sides of the room, Not a sound just the clock.
Tic. Tock. Tic. Tock.
Chuck was the first to speak.
“So when are wewe coming back?”. Back? What was he talking about? “Back? I'm not, I'm at Yale”
He was puzzled. “What? I thought we were...”
She cut across his sentence.
“No, There is no we. Last night was temptation just lust”
She didn't know it, But she was breaking his moyo every word she would say now would not be the ones he wanted to hear.
“You're lying, Blair I saw the look on your face last night. wewe don't want this Mark guy, Otherwise why did wewe stay?”
No answer.
“I upendo you, I always will you're someone special to me but never someone I want to be with”
Chuck felt so hurt, She had never been so hurtful before. She stood and was about to leave.
“I'm in upendo with you”
“I'm sorry, But it can never work. You're way too...Just wewe like parties, drink, drugs, easy sex. It wouldn't work”
He tried everything to persuade her that he was her one and only.
“I'll give all that up for you, I promise wewe Blair, I will do anything for you”
“Don't make promises”
“I make one wewe make one, I get straight and wewe give me another chance?”
She had no idea that in three years time the promise she was about to make would come back to haunt her.
She nodded.
“Bye Chuck”
She left, And from there on out Chuck bass, besi was a new man.
_ _ _
Present Time.
Dan was still waiting for an answer.
“So you're not telling Nate?”
“No... Look I better get going, I'll call about the painting”
She stood and as Dan began to clear away the coffee cups she turned back and spoke.
“Dan...”
“Yeah?”
“I never thanked you, For what wewe did, I don't think many people would of done that, Your a good friend. Thank you”
He smiled.
“You'd of done the same right...”
They shared the same look of expression. He replied.
“No, Didn't think so”
They both shared another laugh.
“Bye Humphrey”
“Bye Waldorf”
