We arrived at the party arm in arm and looked around. Anyone who was anyone was here for Blair's 20th.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked me
'Are you?" I replied "I'm used to pulling of a epic throw down, you're still a novice. Besides, I never did payback Blair for Paris." I picked up a macaron and took a bite then offered the other half which he took.
"Ugh get a room you too, like back at yours." Blair groaned
"Hello, Blair. Happy Early Birthday." I smile sweetly
"Thank you, glad you could make it too Humphrey. Oh and you have a little something, right there" she pointed to the corner of her cheek and dusted away the crumbs She left us too it.
"Shall we mingle Daniel?"
"Yes, Rosalie." we laughed and made the rounds. we saw Nate and Serena together.
"Dan, what are you doing here?" Serena beamed
"I came with Rosie of course. What about you, are you two back together?" Dan wonders
"No, we're not. But he's here for a different reason."
"Fascinating I'm sure, I'm going to try more of the sweet stuff." I tell Dan and walk away
"I'll join." he catches me up. I stop short seeing mom and Rufus. Uh-oh
"Dan, Rose what are you two doing here?" Rufus asks smiling
"We could ask you the same thing. I thought you were gonna be having your romantic night alone at home." Dan replies
"Eleanor convinced them to spend the evening with friends." Eric told us. I laughed slightly
"Oh, no but you can't stay here, Dan will tell you."
"Uh yeah, it would be bad luck. Everything here is crystal and china. You gotta go home and celebrate on paper plates as planned." Dan added
"You know I am surprised that you guys are so superstitious, Dan." Mom replied
"Let's face it our plan to stay at home was depressing. Now let's go check out those cookies in the shape of Blair's shoes"
"Okay." they departed and I slapped Eric's shoulder
"A little warning would have been nice, dude." I scold
"Ouch. I didn't think I needed to seen as you weren't gonna do anything." I scratched my head looking slightly guilty "You didn't."
"We didn't promise. Besides all is fair in love and war, but now the high has been ruined cause you brought the parents. Thank you Watson"
"Well can't you put a stop to it before it's to late."
"You can't be serious. Oh fuck me you have no balls." I storm off in a huff and head for anything sweet.
"Okay, enough you eat too much you're gonna be sick." Dan took the plate of confectionary of me
"Hey, it's bad enough that our parents turn up at our foreplay. Now you're taking the treats as well."
"Foreplay?"
"Scheming and takedowns on my own are fun but when your involved it's just right down sexy. Bonnie and Clyde of the upper east side, but you know. No shooting and robberies."
"Come on they're doing speeches." he pulled me away and we listened to Dorotea's speech. Dan embraced me from behind and once it was finished there was another clink.
"Hi everyone, I'm Rita and I'd also like to salute to the birthday girl. And I brought some special friends to help me with the toast." I felt myself bubble with anticipation "Or should I say roast." I cover my mouth as Eric joined us
