I don't own Gossip Girl
It had been two weeks since the concert and Blair was having a blast. She couldn't remember when the last time her life had been so drama free. She was finally having the carefree summer of her dreams. Everything was perfect as far as Blair was concerned. Well almost perfect.
Two weeks earlier…….
It was 8 in the morning and Blair just got out of the shower. Working the concert yesterday had worn her out. She had decided last night that today was going to be a lazy day. She was in the middle of drying her hair when she heard her phone ring.
"Hello?"
"Hi Blair, how are you."
Blair smiles, "Hi S. How are the Hamptons."
"The Hamptons are good. Wish you were here though."
"Yeah, sorry about spending the rest of the summer up there but, I don't really feel like going to the Hampton's this summer."
"Yeah, I've noticed. "
Blair starts to frown. There's something disturbing about Serena's answer.
"Huh, what are you talking about Serena."
"Um, I've seen the pictures of you and Dan."
"What pictures of me and Dan?"
"You know the ones on Gossip Girl."
Blair quickly moves to her computer and clicks on her browser.
Her eyebrows reach the sky when she looks at the computer. There in the middle of the screen was a picture of her tackling Dan to the grass.
She quickly gets defensive.
"Listen Serena, it's not what it looks like. Me and Dan are just friends."
In the Hamptons, Serena stops walking and she has a startled look on her face. She didn't know what was more shocking; the fact that Blair was with Dan or the fact that Blair just admitted her and Dan were friends.
"Hmm, is that all?" Serena asked.
Blair was starting to get angry.
"Yes Serena, me and Dan are just friends."
Serena sighs and thinks about everything Blair has been through this year. Every time something good is happening in Blair's life her choice in men would always ruin things for her. First Nate then Chuck, when was Blair finally allowed to be happy. She needed a good guy in her life and Daniel Humphrey was definitely a good guy. It was with these thoughts in mind that Serena said her next words.
"You know Blair. If you and Dan ended up being more than friends……um, I'd be okay with it."
All the anger suddenly leaves Blair and she is speechless. Her best friend was giving her the okay to get with cabbage patch.
"Blair are you there?"
Blair quickly snaps herself out of it.
"S, I think you've been in the sun too long. Me and cabbage patch are just friends."
"Okay B, just letting you know that I was cool with whatever you and Dan are."
Blair rolls her eyes. It looks like this conversation was going to come up frequently now that it's on gossip girl.
"Whatever. So S, how are the guys up there."
"Tanned and sexy just the way we like them. " Serena says with a laugh.
Present
"Hello, is anyone here?" Dan says as he walks into the Waldorf residence.
"Over here Humphrey." Blair says.
Dan quickly makes his way to the breakfast bar.
"Breakfast?" Blair asks.
Dan sits down next to Blair and quickly arranges a plate for himself.
"Don't mind if I do."
Blair shakes her head.
"You know Dan, sometimes I think you hang around me just so you can get some food."
"Well, you know my dad's still on tour and Jenny's with my mom. Without Rufus's cooking I can only eat cereal. Plus, Dorota makes the best French toast."
Dorota looks at him and smiles. "Thank you Mr. Dan."
Blair just rolls her eyes. In all the years she has been working for her Dorota never once talks to her friends but Dan hangs out with her for a few weeks and Dorota all of a sudden becomes talkative.
Dan cuts a piece of French toast and puts it in his mouth.
"Oh, my god, this is so good. Blair you've got to try this."
Dan cuts another piece of French toast and spears it with his fork. He then proceeds to feed it to Blair.
"Hmmm, this is good. Too bad I'm already full or I would totally steal your breakfast."
Dorota sees the intimate exchange and beams at Blair. She had seen Blair's past boyfriends and she didn't like them one bit. They were always to preoccupied with something else and they never seemed to take her feelings into account. This Mr. Dan is different. He seemed so down to earth and he honestly cared for Blair.
Suddenly, Blair feels like she's being watched and turns her head towards Dorota. She sees Dorota smiling at them and raises her eyebrow.
"Is something wrong Dorota?" Blair asks.
Dorota just smiles and says, "No Mrs. Blair. It's just you and Mr. Dan are good together."
Blair rolls her eyes. Why did people always think they were a couple.
"Dorota, me and Dan are just friends nothing more. Tell her Daniel." Blair looks at Dan digging into his French toast.
Dan talks while chewing his French toast. "Yeah, just friends."
Blair pinches Dan.
"Ow, what was that for."
"Don't talk with your mouth full, it's rude."
Dorota turns around and starts washing dishes. She shakes her head as she hears them bicker in the background. "Just friends. I don't believe it." she mumbles softly to herself.
Well this should be it for awhile. I'll update on the weekend. Gotta get back to work tommorow.
