Chuck awoke again at 5:30AM. He moved quietly to Blair's room and peeked in and was relieved to see that she was still asleep. He then went into the kitchen and pulled out the various containers he had prepared the night before. He reminded himself to thank Eric for teaching him how to prepare crepes.
Two hours and a half hours later Chuck had successfully made a breakfast tray to take to Blair. On the tray there were several crepes with various fruits and berries, 100% pure maple syrup, a yogurt, a glass of orange juice and some of the very best coffee. Chuck took a few minutes to eat his own breakfast, hoping it would give him the strength to tell Blair.
He walked into Serena's room and saw that Blair would be waking up in a few minutes. He set the tray on the bedside table and turned on the television and put in Breakfast at Tiffany's. He skipped through the commercials and saw the main menu and allowed the song Moon River to play, awakening Blair.
Blair was smiling which was a good sign. When she opened her eyes they first traveled to the television screen in front of her. Then a confused look crossed her face and her eyes scanned the room, and stopped when they landed on Chuck. She took in his appearance, dressed properly—as usual—and holding a tray filled with food. She shook her head a little, sure that she was dreaming. She couldn't read the expression on his face, then she remembered that she was mad at him.
"Chuck! Why are you in here?" she said trying to sound upset.
Chuck cursed himself for not thinking of what to say to Blair once she awoke.
"I made you breakfast," he said lamely.
"I can see that," she crossing her arms though looking impressed.
"I thought you might want to watch your favorite movie while you eat," he gestured to the television, "And I was hoping I could join you."
"What makes you think that I would want you to join me?" Blair said, accepting the tray of food and eating a blueberry.
"Please," Chuck said quietly, trying to convey some message to her with his eyes.
She knew that she couldn't resist after that. Blair sighed and made room for Chuck on the bed. He smiled gratefully at her and pressed "play" on the remote.
They sat in silence as they watched the movie. Blair eating the crepes that Chuck made for her. The only exchange between them being when Blair handed Chuck the tray to put aside. Their hands touched and suddenly Chuck was impatient to tell her, to hold her in his arms. Chuck then noticed that Blair was singing along with the movie. Instead of watching Audrey Hepburn on the screen singing Moon River he watched Blair singing along. She noticed his stare and blushed and stopped singing.
"Don't stop," he said, "You have a nice voice."
"Thank you," she said.
"Blair," he started, ignoring the movie, "I'm sorry for everything, I didn't want to hurt you."
Blair turned to face him, "I want to believe you Chuck, but how can I? You've done it again and again."
"I love you, Blair," Chuck said, a shy smile crossing his face.
The look that Blair gave him after that was so beautiful. She looked at him with love and trust in her eyes, even though he didn't really deserve it.
She leaned across the bed and kissed him on the lips. She reached up and rested her arms on his shoulders, her fingers combing through his hair. Chuck grabbed her by her waist and dragged her so she lay on top of him as they kissed. She broke away and grinned widely at him.
"Say it again," she insisted.
"I love you," he said over and over as he kissed down her neck.
"I love you too, Chuck" Blair whispered as she began to slowly unbutton his shirt.
