In Your Arms, Here I Lay – Chapter Two

“Waldorf, I need 你 to wake up. I know what I 说 and did earlier was wrong, but I…I…I 爱情 you, Blair. And I don’t know whether I’ll have the guts to tell 你 this later, but I do, Blair. I 爱情 you.” Tears fell down his cheek, as he held her hand in his, not letting go for a second.

“I 爱情 你 too,” a weak voice replied from the bed.

He looked up, only to meet the eyes of the beautiful, but broken brunette, he loved. “Blair?”

She smiled. “I take it that you’re happy to see me, Bass.”

He chuckled, and removed a stray strand of hair from her face. “You know I am.” He stood up and took a 座位 下一个 to her on the bed. Blair tried to adjust herself into a sitting position, only to wince at the pain of doing so. Chuck saw her wince and immediately, his face turned into one of guilt.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“This is all my fault,” he whispered.

Blair shook her head. “No, it’s not, Chuck. It’s my own fault. I should’ve watched where I was going.”

“That’s where you’re wrong, Blair. If I hadn’t gotten 你 dethroned; if I didn’t use Amanda to make Serena jealous, to make her become ‘Queen’ again, 你 wouldn’t even be here.”

Blair put her hand under his chin, lifting it so she could look into his eyes again. “Hey,” she cooed, “I don’t care about the 标题 of ‘Queen B’; I just was hurt 由 you. I mean, I 迷失 Serena, I 迷失 you, I 迷失 the stupid title, and I 迷失 Marcus to that bitch-of-a-Duchess Beaton. Although, I really never cared about Marcus…”

“Wait,” he interrupted her. “You 迷失 Marcus?”

She nodded.

“Why didn’t 你 tell me? The only reason I did all of that -this- was because of him. I wanted to hurt 你 that way you’d know how I felt –how I feel-, Blair. To lose something. I never meant for this to happen; I just wanted 你 to come back to me. I just wanted you. I wanted to be with you.”

Blair put a finger up to his mouth to silence him. “It doesn’t matter; that’s all in the past, Chuck. 你 have me now.”
He smiled a genuine smile.

“So?” Blair asked. “What are 你 waiting for? Isn’t this the part where you’re supposed to 吻乐队（Kiss） me?”

Chuck smirked and did as he was offered, told - commanded, and he kissed her right then and there.

“I 爱情 you, Blair Cornelia Waldorf. Never, and I repeat, never forget that.”

She laughed. “And I 爱情 你 too, Charles Bartholomew Bass. Always know that.”

They kissed once more...gently. Chuck knew how fragile Blair was. Especially, in the state she was in now. “I 爱情 you, I 爱情 you, I 爱情 you…” He kept telling her those three words, eight letters, until he stopped moments later, when they fell asleep in each other’s arms, on the hospital bed, knowing that they would both always remember this moment. Always and forever.

TBC.


A/N: Okay. So I told everyone I’d do some kind of flashback thing 或者 something about what happened to Blair this chapter. Well, ummm, I didn’t exactly keep my promise, LOL. Sorry. *apologetic look* But I already started chapter three and I swear that you’ll find out what happened in the 下一个 chap! Anyway, I’d like to say thanks to all my lovely reviewers who reviewed the prologue and chapter one! Thanks!

P.S: Reviews are highly appreciated. :)

P.S.S: This story takes place between 2x04 & 2x05. Basically, after school (the 日 she's dethroned), Blair decides to visit Chuck at the palace and have a nice "chat" with him. Then things kinda - wait why am I telling 你 this, LOL? I guess now you'll have to figure out the rest when the 下一个 chapter's up.

你 know 你 爱情 me (I had to say it, ahha),

~XOXO~ Carrie
