A/N: So, guess who finally updated. Yeah, I’m sorry about the horribly long wait, but I’m not going to lie, I had absolutely NO IDEA what to write. So, after লেখা this chapter I have decided:
THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS STORY!!!!!! I like how it ends, and if I even try to write more, I’d just be leaving আপনি all with increasing longer breaks in between chapters.
Plus, I’m thinking of লেখা stories for my newest obsession, James and Lily (Harry Potter), cause I have tons of ideas for them.
THANK আপনি ALL FOR পাঠ করা THIS STORY!! Hope আপনি enjoy this chapter!!!
P.S. The first part of this is just a little something I was thinking of for awhile as a drabble but thought it was cute in the beginning of this story.

    “Ugh, not again,” Serena grumbled as she threw her ringing phone onto the bed. She turned to walk into the bathroom.

    “Avoiding someone?” Chuck asked, causing Serena to scream and jump.

    “What are আপনি doing in my bathroom?” She yelled.

    Chuck took a drag of the cigarette he was holding, “Well if I lit up in my bathroom, the folks would know it was me, sis.”

    “First thing, let’s get one thing straight. I am not your sister. I do not share any of your DNA, nor do I ever wish too. Now get out,” she pulled on his arm slightly, right as he caught sight of another girl walking into the bathroom.

    “You might not wish too, but I know someone who might,” he smirked as he grabbed Blair to give her a, much too long for Serena’s liking, kiss.

    “Ummm… what are আপনি two doing in Serena’s bathroom?” Blair asked once Chuck had released her.

    “I am trying to take a shower,” Serena hissed, glaring at Chuck.

    “And she’s avoiding someone,” Chuck countered, knowing that this would distract Blair.

    “Who?” Blair immediately snapped, while grabbing Chuck’s cigarette and snuffing it out, ignoring his angry look.

    “No one…” Serena tried to seem serious, but upon Blair’s ‘I know you’re lying’ look, gave in. “Ok, I’m avoiding Dan.”

    “But I thought that আপনি two…” Blair trailed off, trying to explain what she thought happened between Serena and Dan.

    “We were,” Serena started, then sighed, “But then I heard my mom and Dan’s dad talking about… it. And it was just too weird so I decided to end things. Luckily it was right as Dan’s old friend came back প্রথমপাতা so I’ve been using that as an excuse, but he won’t stop calling.”

    Blair was just about to respond when someone called for Serena from downstairs. “Ugh, not আরো wedding planning,” she grumbled as she glared at Chuck before walking out of the bathroom.

    Chuck laughed underneath his breath as he picked up a new joint. “I wasn’t expecting to see আপনি today,” he smirked at Blair.

    “I wasn’t expecting to come over today, but Eleanor has just returned from her first business trip since…” she trailed off.

    Chuck just nodded as he got down from where he was sitting, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and স্নেহ চুম্বন her head. “And instead আপনি chose to grace the wedding planners with your presence. I know they loved আপনি the last time আপনি were here.” He paused then, turning to her with a serious look on his face, “unless আপনি came for another reason.” At this he couldn’t stop the smirk that lit up his face.

    Blair ignored his মতামত as they walked into the dining room, greeted with the whole family at the table. Lily was simultaneously shouting orders to the various planners running around, while lecturing Serena about the importance of hygiene.

    “Charles,” Bart greeted him, Chuck automatically taking a আসন as though ordered. “Blair,” he ব্যক্ত unsurely, almost as though he hadn’t expected her to be there even though his face showed no sign of this.

    “Mr. Bass,” she acknowledged as she sat down and started helping herself to the খাবার on the table.

    During the পরবর্তি lull in Lily’s talk, Bart turned to Chuck, “As Best Man, I expect আপনি to keep everything going smooth before the wedding.”

    Chuck, who had just been about to take a drink, froze. Then after a slight nudge from Blair he started again, “Uh… of course, father.”

    His dad nodded his head before returning to his newspaper. Chuck looked down at his plate, before turning to look at Blair, who was beaming at him, not able to help a small smile from gracing his face.

    “Ugh, I’m just going to go throw up now,” Serena ব্যক্ত upon seeing her বন্ধু display of affection.

    “Maybe আপনি should just take a ঝরনা instead,” Eric মতামত প্রদত্ত right before she left the room.

Wedding Day:

    “She’s freaking out,” Serena practically yelled as she pulled Blair aside, earning an angry look from Chuck, who Blair was talking to.

    “So thus you’re freaking out?” Blair looked at her skeptically. “It’s her wedding, she’s done this before and she’s always freaked out. She’ll forget it the মিনিট she starts walking down the aisle. Now why did আপনি actually pull me over here?”

    Serena looked around quickly before sighing, “He’s here. Why is he here?”

    “Hmm…” Blair took a মিনিট to think. “No idea why, but this is the perfect opportunity for আপনি to talk to him.”

    Serena hissed, “And tell him what, Blair? ‘I’ve been avoiding আপনি because in a few years we’re going to be siblings and that would be awkward.’ He’d think I’m crazy.”

    “Maybe আপনি should introduce him to them. Eric took it better then we thought he would,” Blair put on a small smile when Serena slightly pushed her, letting out a laugh. “Talk to him. Now I’m going to go back over there.”

    “I wonder why,” Serena called out as Blair began walking away, laughing at the glare she received.

********

    “Sorry about that… wedding crisis,” Blair smiled as she moved in front of Chuck, reaching for his bowtie.

    “Does it involve Brooklyn?” When Blair looked up at him in surprise he nodded his head in the direction of Dan Humphrey and a girl Blair didn’t know whose arm was on Nate’s. Blair froze. “That was my reaction too.”

    “But what about… everything,” she whispered.
    “Well Nathaniel didn’t like ‘everything.’ ব্যক্ত he wanted a break from it all.”

    “And that break was in Brooklyn?” Blair exclaimed, earning a laugh from Chuck.

    “It’s where the Captain’s rehab is.” After a মিনিট he began digging in his pocket, taking out a bunch of note cards.

    “Speech going that well,” Blair teased, trying to reach for them, but finding Chuck holding them out of her reach.

    “You’ll hear it soon enough, Blair,” he smiled as she put on a pout. “Now I’m off to fulfill my Best Man duties.” He kissed her on the cheek before walking toward his father who’s just arrived.

*********

    It was a whole ঘন্টা before Lily even took her first step down the aisle, during which time Blair was introduced and forced to be polite to Nate’s date, who’s name was Vanessa and apparently was Dan’s best friend. Meanwhile, Serena was forced to make up wedding emergencies so as to avoid ever being alone with Dan.

    After the ceremony everyone moved inside, Blair watching Chuck the whole time, she didn’t think she’d ever seen him so happy. When he got up for his speech everyone in the dining room stopped their chatter.

    “One thing I’ve learned from my father’s courtship of Lily is the importance of perseverance. In the face of true প্রণয় আপনি don’t just give up, even if the object of your affection is begging আপনি to. Because no matter what আপনি do, আপনি will find your way back to each other, and that’s something worth fighting for. To the happy couple.”

**********

    Serena had run out back outside to where the ceremony had been held, holding her head in her hands she tried to think through what was going to happen. Right then someone else sat down পরবর্তি to her, “I know you’ve been avoiding me.”

    Serena looked up, “No, I haven’t.”

    “Serena, I’m an expert on people trying to avoid me. I just don’t get why. I mean, I thought আপনি actually liked me, I guess,” Dan said, trying and failing to not seem awkward.

    “I do like you, Dan. It’s just…”

    “Our parents?” When he had seen the confirmation on Serena’s face he continued, “Yeah, I understand. I guess I just thought with her marrying Bart…”

    Serena looked over at Dan sadly, before grabbing his hand, “Maybe we should just be friends.”

    He looked down at their hands before answering, “I think I could be ok with that.” They both sat for a few মিনিট in silence before Dan got up, “I’m going to go look for Vanessa, tell her I’m going back.”

    Serena immediately stood up too, trying to find something to say, instead she just hugged him, “I’m sorry, Dan.”

**********

    She wasn’t looking as she entered the ballroom, running straight into Nate. But right before she could apologize the wedding photographer rushed over, pushing them together for a dance. Neither really looked into each other’s eyes as they began swaying.

    “Where’s Vanessa?” Serena finally asked.

    “She went প্রথমপাতা with Dan after I found out my dad has fled the country,” Nate ব্যক্ত in a monotone, but Serena caught the underlying sadness.

    They both simultaneously pulled each other closer as they danced to the song. Neither paying any attention to anything around them, until they saw a tearful Blair run past. While Serena turned to watch Blair run off, Nate looked back to see Chuck, standing ফ্রোজেন with a very shocked and scared look on his face. Both Serena and Nate turned to look at each other before Serena wordlessly began running off after Blair.

********

    “Blair?” Serena called as she entered Blair’s room, sitting down পরবর্তি to her figure on the bed.

    “Go away, Serena.”

    “What happened?” Serena said, ignoring her complaints.

    “I’m stupid. That’s what happened.”

    “Ummm….” Serena was very confused.

    Blair huffed as she sat up, her makeup slightly smudged she started ranting, “We were dancing and he ব্যক্ত that he wanted me to come to Tuscany with him. Then for some reason I ব্যক্ত it! I ব্যক্ত the three words,” She flung herself back on the বিছানা before mumbling, “And he didn’t say anything back. Just stood there…”

    Serena sat there shocked for a মিনিট before saying softly, “Well, maybe it was a little too soon for him.”

    “I know that, S! But he was asking me to go to Tuscany with him, how much আরো official can আপনি get.”

    “Well, আপনি are going with him right?” Serena questioned slowly.

    “I don’t know… I just ruined everything,” Blair was sitting up at this point, looking down at her hands.

    “No, আপনি have to go. This is Chuck Bass, আপনি know how he is with that sort of thing… প্রণয় and everything.”

    Blair sat silently for a minute, “We could travel from there to see Daddy and Roman.”

    “Great! Now let’s start packing!” Serena proclaimed as she jumped off the bed.

*********

    He sat alone in his room, a glass clenched in his hand, still staring off with that shocked look on his face from earlier. Even when he heard the door open he didn’t সরানো a muscle. When the three people now in the room came and sat পরবর্তি to him he still didn’t move.

    “Chuck, you’re going to have to tell us what happened,” Nate ব্যক্ত softly as he sat পরবর্তি to his friend.

    He didn’t look up as he mumbled what happened into his glass. The older Chuck and Blair threw confused looks at Nate, asking what happened.

    He awkwardly cleared his throat and told them, “Blair ব্যক্ত ‘I প্রণয় you’.” All of them caught the slight twitch Chuck made when he heard the words again.

    “And আপনি didn’t say it back,” the older Blair said, আরো as a statement then a question. They all took Chuck lowering his head as confirmation. “Well, that’s consistent. Did আপনি still invite her to Tuscany?”

    Chuck raised his head, eyebrows raised in surprise as he wordlessly nodded.

    “You really should start packing then,” Blair commented, getting a small laugh from the older Chuck who had to hold her back from running around the room.

    “She’s not going to come now,” Chuck ব্যক্ত the first words since they’d arrived.

    “I wouldn’t be so sure about that man,” Nate said, moved দ্বারা his friend’s helplessness, using this as an unspoken peace treaty between the two.

    “Nate’s right, if memory serves correctly you’re the one that has some problems প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে up,” Blair said, with a slight edge of past bitterness in her voice.

    “You want to go with her?” the older Chuck asked, already knowing the answer before he got a nod. “Then go, because if আপনি don’t you’re going to start a long and painful process.”

**********

    Ten মিনিট late. There’s no need to worry, it’s only 10 minutes, Blair thought to herself as she sat opening and closing her phone, checking the time. When she heard the limo pull up she forced herself not to turn around and look. She didn’t turn around until he touched her shoulder.

    She looked into his eyes then quickly looked away, right at the bouquet he was holding, smirking at her. She opened and closed her mouth twice, trying to think of something to say. Then he put his hand on her chin and kissed her. He pulled back, smiling, as he said, “You know, we can visit your dad in France after our trip if আপনি want.”

    Blair beamed as she grabbed the roses, “I’d প্রণয় to.”
