Story: 'You make me feel funny'

Author: Ana

Pairing: Chuck/Blair

Disclaimer: I don't own Gossip Girl.

Summary: Blair is determined to never get involved with a man again and she was successful until she met her new boss. He annoys her since the first day and she really doesn't know why she feels like she's high school girl again around him. Still she knows she can't give up as she has a secret that would make someone like Chuck Bass run away the second he found out. AU

Here's the deal guys. I really want to finish this fic as I have already put so much work and time in it. But I won't make now empty promises about regular updates because I know I wouldn't be able to keep it.

So without any excuses about the long wait (let's just say life is a bitch) and a promise that I will finish this (even if it takes me ten years more, lol) I present you with a new, long and fresh chapter.

Blair closed her eyes as the memories of her not so happy past flew through her head. All of this had been really painful and she has thought for a long time that it was behind her. Well, apparently not.

After her terrible experiences in high school she swore to never get in a relationship with any man again. And you can see how that worked out. But when she promised herself another thing, that she would never see Carter Baizen again not to mention talk with him, she was sure she won't ever have to break it.

And now here he is. Carter fucking Baizen is standing in front of her few minutes before her wedding. And to think she once wanted him to be the one waiting for her at the alter. Blair shook her head to get rid of these unpleasant recollections. They were best where they were before this visit. At the back of her mind.

With a resignation she decided to listen to this, determined not to let him ruin her day.

'What are you doing here Carter?' She asked one more time after he didn't respond.

'I wanted to talk.' He sat down on the couch in the corner. 'You're getting married after all. I would never miss it.'

'Spare me. I don't have time for this.' She turned to walk out tried of this nonsense. He couldn't do anything to change her mind about marring Chuck. 'Like you noticed I'm busy.'

'Oh, don't let me stop you.' He smirked getting more comfortable on his seat.' I just thought you should know…'

She rolled her eyes exasperated. Would he never give up? 'You have five seconds to tell me this secret I should know and that you think will stop me from making the best decision in my life.'

'Why, the truth about your beloved soon to be husband. Chuck Bass, really Blair? I thought you learned something from our relationship.' He said at least.

'To the point, Baizen.' She sighed, not really sure why she was still here.

'Well, I'm sure this will interest you…' He began.

Chuck stood anxiously at the alter. He looked at Nathaniel who was next to him as his best man but he just shrugged. Chuck bit his lip nervously.

Where was she? She was supposed to be standing here, right by him ten minutes ago. She couldn't just change her mind, right? He thought she was as happy as he about today. Since he had realized that he was in love with Blair Waldorf this was his dreams come true. And now it was about to happen.

Nothing and no one is going to prevent it if he can help it. But first she has to show up! The ceremony was supposed to start five minutes ago. He saw the guests looking around curiously. He was certain some of them thought that the girl finally saw the reason and gave up the silly idea of Chuck Bass being a decent husband.

Fuck it, he wasn't going to just stand here looking like an idiot.

'I'm going there Nate.' He informed quickly and before anyone could stop him rushed to find his fiancée.

Quickly passing the whispering guests he entered the building and knocked on her door. After not hearing anything, he went in.

'Blair?' He tried after looking around the room and not seeing his beautiful bride.

He was met with silence and it took him a few horribly dragging seconds more before he finally spotted her. She was on the sofa in the corner with her knees pressed to her chest and face hidden in her locks. He walked slowly closer and put a hesitant hand on her shoulder.

'What's wrong baby?' He whispered kneeling in front of her.

She was motionless but after a moment lifted her head to look at him. He saw she was crying and mentally cursed himself for whatever he had done.

'Do you love me?' She asked toneless.

His brows furrowed at her question. He couldn't help but feel that this wasn't good if she was questioning such obviousness. Not good at all.

Raising his hand up Chuck brushed her tears away and stroked her cheek softly. 'Why do you even ask? You know I do. I want to marry you silly.'

'Really? Do you want to? Or did you feel sorry for me and decided to help me?' She accused angrily.

After Carter told her everything about his and Chuck's meeting and his reasons to be here, she was so confused. She didn't know what to think about her own weeding and to add to it, her ex boyfriend wanted to take her child from her.

It was an absolute mess and in her misery she was seeing no way out of it. The only thing on her mind, when she was sitting here alone, was her biggest fear plaguing her lately. The thought of losing Christopher or Chuck. Or worse being left all alone.

So being who she was she went right into defensive mood not wanting to hear what he had to say in fear of it being the end of them.

Hearing her words he shook his head and started to open his mouth to deny it but she didn't let him say anything.

'Oh I'm sorry, my mistake. I forgot Chuck Bass didn't pity anyone.' She sneered, shrugging his comforting hands off her face. 'So, did you feel threaten? Was he trying to take something you consider yours? Is that it? Am I and my son just possessions for the amazing billionaire?'

He closed his eyes after hearing her words. He knew it wasn't a good idea to hide it from her. He just hoped she won't find out that way, preferably at all. And certainly not before he married her. Not when she had the ability to take it all away in one second.

'No, Blair listen.' He said quickly grabbing her hand.

'I don't have to listen to this.' She shook her head but didn't take her hand away.

'I know. But please just let me say it. After that we can do whatever you want. Cancel all of this, I won't do anything. Just listen.' He pleaded looking her in the eyes and praying she would do as he asked her to. He hoped he could convince her not to leave him too.

She gazed at him with unreadable look. What should she do? Damn it, she couldn't just leave him like that. Even if he somehow deserved it.

'Fine, speak.' She murmured and he took a seat next to her.

'First, I love you.' He began and she smiled slightly before rolling her eyes. 'And I want to marry you. I know Carter had probably told you that I've seen him lately. From the looks of it, you now think I am marrying you because of him and his attempts to take your son away.'

He took a deep breath, thinking carefully what to say next. This was his last chance.

'But it isn't true. Not exactly anyway. I planed on proposing to you before he arrived to New York. Then I found out he was here and that he wanted to take Christopher from us. I've been meeting with my lawyer and yes, he had said that this' he pointed around them. 'would help in stopping him. So really, I just speeded the inevitable.'

'I don't know…' She rubbed her temple tiredly. All she wanted to do was jump in his arms right in this moment and forget about Baizen and his ability to ruin her life. But she wasn't a fairy tales teenage lover anymore and knew sometimes life doesn't end in a happy way.

'I promise Blair. I love you and Christopher very much. I know I made a mistake and I swear I will never again hide anything from you if you give me another chance.' He almost begged at this point but it was worth it. He'd do anything for them.

'I know, Chuck. I know you love us. But you lied to me and with Carter coming back… I just can't deal with it.' She sighed.

He nodded showing he understood her before continuing. 'It's ok. If you want, we can move it. I'll wait as long as you want, till you're ready to give me… us another shot. Just please, don't cancel the adoption papers. I can't lose you both.' His voice broke and a lonely tear ran down his cheek.

'I won't do that.' She assured brushing it away.

'Won't do what?' He asked with hope, stopping her hand from leaving his face.

'Take Christopher away from you, take his dad from him. He loves you too much to ever forgive me.' She smiled sadly. And Blair knew it to be true.

As much as she tried she could never replace a father figure in her son's life. He needed a man as an authority and help with things she had no idea about. Or shuddered at the thought of doing, like a prospect of 'the birds and the bees' talk with a boy. Thank you very much but she could live without the experience.

'Thank you.' He kissed her forehead. 'What about us?'

'What do you think is going on?' Serena asked nervously.

She and her boyfriend were walking around the garden when the wedding was going to take place and trying to calm down everyone as they waited for the happy couple to emerge from the room. After Chuck went there they didn't hear from both and the guests were getting anxious.

'I dunno.' He replied putting his arm around her shoulder.

'I hope everything's alright. Blair deserves to be happy.' She said smiling at the little boy and waved back as he stopped playing with his grandfather to do that.

'So does Chuck. Do you reckon they had a fight recently?' He pondered.

'Nah, Blair would have told me. I don't like it at all.' The blonde responded shaking hands with some old lady who approached them.

After saying that everything's ok and there is just a slight problem, she walked away. The maid of honor sighed with relief and looked at the building again.

'Let's go check on them.' Nate spoke and they started walking.

An hour later Chuck sported a big grin as he leaned down to kiss his new wife.

He was one lucky bastrad to have found a woman like Blair. And now after she had given him another chance he was going to make sure she won't have ever any reason to doubt him again.

The wedding, though a little late, went wonderfully. Harold, after making sure everything is really okay and his daughter still wants this, gave her away to the waiting groom. Then came the talk from the priest and Chuck if asked, would have to admit he didn't really listen.

A lot more interesting was after all looking around at the smiling faces of his friends, Christopher and especially Blair. His Blair. Yes, he still couldn't believe that she was all his now. Not only in his heart but legally too.

He kept grinning like mad as they broke apart and she bit her lower lip smiling at him. As the guest clasped he took her hand and led her to the limo which was waiting to take them to the ballroom in one of his hotels where the reception was going to take place.

'Shit.' Carter cursed as he watched the happy new married couple walk out from his secluded spot. 'Good one Bass.'

He had to admit this hadn't been the plan. He had counted on Blair to cancel the wedding which would leave her heartbroken for him to comfort. But he wasn't about to give up. Far from it actually.

If Bass thought he had won, he was sadly mistaken. It was true, he came here because he needed money to get out of his next troubles but that wasn't all. What he wanted was revenge. On the other man for taking what he thought of as his own.

Blair Waldorf was his even if he didn't particularly desire her with the little brat. Still he wasn't going to let anyone else have her.

Carter smirked staring at Christopher running around the guests. Oh yes, they wouldn't know what hit them.

Review please?
