Once upon a time, she had seen a movie about a poor girl who was in love with the prince on the white horse. After the dance they had, he had asked her to marry her. Blair had always thought that no proposal could be more romantic than that one. She was so wrong. She had always thought she would marry Nate. After their romance ended, she felt no guilt or heartbreak. In fact, she almost felt relieved. She felt like everything had been so planned out between them. Everything had to be regulated and perfect. She had every thing in her mind since she was 12. She had made a book about weddings and proposals. Every detail about her wedding was written in that book. Nobody had ever seen it, except Serena ofcourse. The proposal she just agreed to was supposed to have gone different. But this was so much better and she wouldn't have wanted it in any other way. Chuck Bass had basically asked her to marry him. Ofcourse they had to talk about everything, about life, about their love and problems, but she knew that there was only one single thing she wanted.Him. And she knew nobody else would be able to steal her heart anymore from him. The little diamond on the ring was sparkeling. Her ring. She knew she wouldn't take it off anymore after this. It was his promise and her hope for the future.

She never wanted to leave the ESB, but she knew they had to go home. It sounded strange to her. Still, home for her was wherever he was. The Empire, his home was hers too now. His bed, was hers. His food in the fridge, was hers. His heart was hers. She knew that tonight wasn't over yet. In the elevator, down again to the ground, they barely could keep their hands of each other. They still managed to make it to the limo before going crazy on each other. Chuck said between two kisses to Arthur: "Home, please. And as fast as possibl-" He was cut off for the 3th time that evening by her kiss on his lips. Arhur smiled and shook his head a little bit before rolling the window ,that was dividing the 2 parts of the limo, down. Her hands were discovering every single part of him. He did the exact same thing. The kisses on her lips, soon became kisses on her neck. The nape of her neck had always fascinated him, so beautiful, so delicate. Before they could even reach the Empire, they were both in the heat of the moment, not even realising that Arthur had knocked a few times on the door, telling them that they reached their destination. Blair was not wearing much anymore, so he covered her warm, gracious body with his coat. He carried her in bridal-style out of the limo and never lost eye contact with the woman whose heart just came home.

"Three words. Eight letters. Say it, and I'm yours."

She heard the cold gold sunshine on her naked back and woke up with the sound of someone making breakfast. She sat up and for a few seconds she didn't remember how she landed naked into Chuck's bed. When the memories of the night before flashed through her mind, she smiled and fell back into the softness of the bed. From the moment they had entered his apartment, they immediately went straight to the bedroom. They had made love to each other until the first light of the sun started to be visible at the horizon. Exhausted but pleased, they had fallen asleep in each others arms. It had been incredible, mind-blowing love-making. As usual, ofcourse. She couldn't even imagine doing it with anybody else. They knew they were very loud doing the thing, and she even had heard someone shout from the nearby appartment to stop it. They both didn't care. It was their moment, no-ones else's.

She slowly stood up, still a little bit sore from last nights/early morning events and took one of her favourite shirts out of his walk-in closet. She wasn't ashamed of how she looked at all, and she was defenitely not pure at all. But something still made her a little bit self-conscious. There was no part of her body he had not seen. Maybe it was because of how the way he looked at her body, full with desire and love. She always felt like a little vulnerable girl when he touched her. She also put some panties and a bra on, just in case. Luckily she had, because in the kitchen, She didn't see her knight in the shining armour standing and making her breakfast. It was Nate and when he turned to look at her they were both suprised and felt awkward. "Oh God, Blair!". He quikely looked at the eggs in the pan, ashamed and turning red. "Fuck, Nate, oh shit. I thought you were Chuck". Nate laughed, still turning red. "No, no. I'm sorry. Haha, Chuck is already gone. He left you a note on the table". She felt a little bit down after he had said that. She had hoped to find Chuck in the kitchen, making breakfast for the two of them. Before looking at the note, she changed in her normal clothes again.

This wasn't Blair Waldorf-ly at all. Normally she would never wear the same outfit two days in a row. Still, she didn't feel dirty at all. She felt like love had been placed permenantly on her skin. She walked back into the living room and this time she just smiled at Nate. "Hey, i'm sorry about-" He started, placing the eggs onto 2 plates. "It's fine, come on, I'm sure you have seen so much more of girls". After Blair had said that he had laughed and replied that that was true, but that it still felt a little awkward to see his best friends girlfriend like that. Blair smiled when she heard the word 'girlfriend' and held her hand up, pointing at the beautiful ring. Nate's mouth fell open and before he could say anything, Blair told him: "It's a promise ring. That one day we'll get married". Nate still looked shocked and said to his ex-girlfriend, now fiancée of his best mate: "Well.. wow. It's not like this wouldn't have happened eventually. Who would ever have thought that 5 years ago. Chuck, the biggest asshole and casanova of the whole New York state, is going to marry you someday. Wow, just wow. Blair, I'm saying this, with a lot of experience with and knowledge about C, I never thought he was such a romantic. He never had been so loud as yesterday either, I'm sleeping in the next room, you know." Blair laughed, a little bit embarrassed, but he laughed it off. "Just kidding. I'm happy for both of you".

Blair continued to chat with Nate and suddenly she saw the note laying under her plate Nate just put in the sink. She read the words, fully-concentraded and un-aware of what Nate was telling her. "Goodmorning, my beautiful, amazing, wonderfull fiancée. If you are reading this, I'm already at work. I'm so sorry, I forgot I had a meeting scheduled for today. I'll promise i'll make it up to you. Last night had been the best of my life. And as you said: No regrets. Lunch at 1 p.m. I'll text you the restaurant. Should already have been at work now. Call me. Be careful. Love you." Blair beamed at the little note. This note just had made her day. She looked at her watch. It was 11 a.m. She quikely collected her things and said bye to Nate. She stepped quikely into a taxi and told the driver to bring her to the Palace.

She hoped her mother and Serena didn't ask to much questions. She didn't know what to tell them. Ofcourse, she wanted to tell everyone that she was Chuck Basses fiancée, but she was a little bit afraid of what her mother would think. A 18 year old fiancée. Of fucking Chuck Bass. She tried to sneak into her room as soon as the elevator reached the top floor. Before she could even reach the stairs, a voice stopped her. "Young lady, did you really think no one would have caught you?" She turned and saw her mom sitting on the couch with a look of disapproval on her face. Blair sighed and looked down, but she was still smiling. Nothing could destroy her happiness today. "Hello to you too mother. I can explain, I was..." She didn't even had an excuse ready. But she didn't had to lie. "I'm engaged." Eleanor's eyes widend and her mouth fell open, just as Nate's had done. "What?! Blair Cornelia Waldorf! What the actual hell!". Blair just smiled and walked to the couch, where she sat down next to her mother. Blair sighed again deeply and started telling everything that had happened. Ofcourse she didn't tell about the limo and bed part of their night but she was pretty sure Eleanor figured that out by herself. When she was done, her mother looked like she was going to faint. "I still can't believe this. You are 18 years old! You are engaged to Chuck freaking Bass!". Blair rolled her eyes at her mother. "But.. actually.. I think I might be okay with it". Blair beamed at the words and hugged her mom tightly. Her mom added: "In five years maybe". Blair laughed and let go of her mom. "I mean it. If he ever tries to hurt you again, I'm going to make him suffer". Blair laughed again. Her mother took her daughter's hand and inspected the ring. "At least, he knows what to choose for a lady with class like you! Cyrus proposed to me with a ring made out of little twigs. Now go and take a shower and wash that sex smell of you". Blair gasped at her mother's words. Eleanor just grinned while B was running upstairs to the shower.

Fresh and clean she put on a black YSL dress and some jewelry. She only took the ring of to shower, but didn't like the feeling of it. She had put it immediately back on her finger. When she was fully dressed and had her signature make up on, she took out her phone and clicked on 1. She had never deleted him of her speed-dial, and she never would now anymore. He heard him answer. "Hey sunshine. Got my note?". She smiled and answered: "I hope I see you next time making breakfast for me instead of your BFF".

He felt guilty. "I'm so sorry. I totally forgot to check my schedule while I was having the best night of my life with the love of my life. Sorry". She still felt her knees going weak. Even after everything and all those years, he still managed to make her feel that. "Well, I think you can make it up to her.. I know a few ways to do so..". She said seductively to him.

"Why wait till tonight? My office has curtains too..". She laughed and he loved the way it sounded. "Don't be so silly. Where do you want to eat lunch?". Chuck answered her: "You know that little Italian one on Broadway? We can meet up at my office? Where are you now, my lovely fiancée?".

"Uh great, I'm at the Palace, in my room. I just told my mother about us. She's okay with it! That's so great, right?!" Blair said that with a lot of excitement. Chuck knew how important that was for Blair. "Yep! That's great!" He replied with a smile on his face. A comfortable moment of silence took place. "Soo.. You are alone in your room right now huh? What are you wearing?". Chuck grinned. Blair laughed for the 10000th time that day. "Ugh, I can't believe you. Only thinking about sex. You'll need to behave yourself Bass".

"I was just kidding. Or not. Look, I have to go now. You going to be okay? ". "Ofcourse, go make that money I can spend on new shoes later. Just kidding too. Or not. See you soon". She answered him. "Okay. I love you." Those 3 little words were so little yet so important. "I love you more". She smiled and put her phone down. Those 3 little words that he didn't dared to say to her so long ago. It still felt like she was living in a dream. The best dream she had ever had. Nothing like the nightmare that was waiting for them both the following day.
