B making her way down the sidewalk to her building...little does she know what adventure she's about to find...

It had been a good couple of hours since he was abandoned in the lobby of the lavish apartment building. He was beginning to regret not taking the fashionista up on her offer to explore the rich culture of the city. Instead he was talking to one of the doormen about how out dated the security system was. Even though the older man assured him that the equipment was state of the art he assured him that he could jackal it to make it even better.

Soon the revolving glass doors swished open and a figure of the female persuasion sashayed into the lobby. She pulled a strain of her long dark hair behind her rears and was adjusting the designer bag on her shoulder. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen and was dressed in her school uniform, well with her own embellishments of coarse. Heading over to the security desk she smiled at the older man as she drummed her perfectly manicured fingernails.

"Is my mom done with her meeting yet," she asked.

"Sorry."

She pouted, cursing the fast that she didn't bring a change of cloths to school with her. Sighing she thought there was always Serena's but then she would have to deal with Chuck and she really didn't want to do that. It was then she noticed Spinelli sitting there and she decided to go into Upper East Side bitch mode.

"What are you looking at?"

"N-nothing distraught one, um you said that your mother was in a meeting."

"Yes, she thinks she's hot shit because she got an exclusive with Kate Howard. But between you and me Couture is so much better since she left as editor and chief."

"Surely you don't mean that."

Blair laughed.

"Truthfully, no I don't...but I swear if my mom mentions Kate one more time."

"The Fashionista isn't that bad of a person."

Blair's eyes widened at this strange young man.

"And you'd know this."

"Because I know Kate Howard."

"You...you...know Kate Howard."

"That the Jackal does."

Shaking her head she let her hand out to him.

"Come on."

"Huh."

Blair pointed to a door leading to the stairwell.

"The stairwell, we can talk better there."

"And why would the Jackal want to go to a secluded area with someone I don't know."

"The name's Blair," she said, "now will you come or not."

He shrugged and followed this Blair girl to the hall.

Sitting on the cement steps that were only used for the help or dire emergency he looked into her dark eyes.

"Ok, so now will the demanding one tell the Jackal what we are doing?"

"Only if you tell me your real name."

"Spinelli," he said putting his hand out, "Damian Spinelli."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Spinelli, I'm Blair Waldorf."

After the introductions were out of the way Blair smiled.

"Seriously Damian you know Kate Howard."

He nodded.

"She is in fact the reason I am even in this city."

Blair looked.

"You see I am close friends with her assistant, in fact I'm in love with her."

"Have you told her?"

"N-no, the Jackal can't tell the fair Maximista his true feelings..he is so out of her league."

"Well you came to the city with them."

"I made an excuse to come, said I was a dire asset in the fashionista's launch. The truth is last time Maxie, that's her name, Maxie, well the last time she came into this concrete jungle she fell prey to this runway Romeo and has been gushing about him ever since. In fact he is meeting her tonight for a date."

"I think I understood about every third word," Blair said trying to not crack up, "but from what I get you are jealous about a guy."

"Not just any guy, he's this famous designer whose rich, connected, suave, confident, everything the jackal isn't."

"What's his name?"

"Federico something or rather. She's always Freddy this and Freddy that...breaks my heart."

Blair started to laugh.

"What's so funny now?"

"You aren't referring to Federico Cabireo are you?"

Spinelli nodded.

"I don't think you have to worry about him stealing your crush."

"And why do you say this."

Blair was still laughing.

"You really don't get out much..." she paused as he gave her a resentful look like she had offended him. "He's gay."

"Gay, as in..."

"Yea huh."

Spinelli blushed wondering how he could be so foolish. So that was why Kate insisted that he Jackaled the man, she knew and wanted to let him know there was no cause for jealousy.

"I feel like such an idiot now."

Blair smiled and moved her arm around his back to comfort him.

"It's ok, not even the 'Jackal' can have perfect gaydar."

Spinelli smiled at how she called him is online moniker.

"You know, we only met like ten, fifteen minutes ago and well..."

"Well."

"Your different then other guys."

"I tend to get that allot."

Blair smiled.

"And with a little polishing I'm sure that this Maxie girl can see you sparkle."

He gave her a deer in headlights look.

"Where are you staying Damian?"

"I...um...that is...," he stammered, "The Plaza."

Blair nodded.

"Tomorrow is Wednesday but apparently the administrators have some kind of conference and it's a half day..."

Spinelli was listening and intrigued.

"Meet me in the Plaza Lobby, say one o'clock."

"Um...ok."

Blair smiled and ruffling his hair as she stood up making her way up the stairs.

--

Back in the apartment Eleanor and Kate were shaking hands acting like they were best friends while Maxie was stomping her foot impatiently cursing the fact that she was going to be late for her date with Freddy.

Soon Blair opened the door looking at the two women with her mom. Eyeing the blonde Blair thought she looked alright.

"Blair darling I'd like you to meet Kate Howard, Kate this is my lovely daughter Blair."

As Kate and Blair shook hands Maxie waved.

"I'm going to..."

Kate nodded as Maxie headed out letting Blair secretly wish that her project would lead Damian to alternative opportunities.

Ok so should I start each chapter with a gossip girl message? Put messages at chapter endings sometimes? I want to thank my reviewers Opposite Attraction and if you have any nickname ideas for the characters or any ideas on how the Blair/Spinelli scene next chapter should go I'm all ears...
