When I finished them I headed for Eric's party. I stepped off the elevator and handed off my coat and bag when I was pulled away.
"Wha... Dan what on earth is the matter?"
"Blair sent me on a drug run."
"Huh?"
"She's here." Serena told Dan and I yet again was pulled around
"Blair, what were you thinking?" Serena asks
"That I would arrive at this party and be greeted appropriately." She replied seemingly a little offended.
"You admitted you need us so one of us could be your drug mule." he held up the post it note from earlier.
"That sticky note was meant for Penelope." she scoffs "Frankly with her attitude she could use some time behind bars."
"Blair!" I scolded
"So there's no I'm sorry I could have gotten you arrested?" Dan retorted and Blair put her hands on her hips
"Well you're here. The party's lovely. Everything obviously turned out fine."
"Except you sent Dan to get the wrong flowers. The tulips with the coke were pink." Serena continued
"And i wrote that down. This one's on you Humphrey."
"You wrote purple. Classic troop effect." he held up the post it note and she took it off him
"Where you write or say a colour that you see instead of the one you mean. You're not the only one who know his neuro dysfunction." Eric joined us "Happy Birthday."
"Yeah, right. Damien just called. Turns out he pre-sold the coke and is therefore on his way to pick up the one hundred thousand he says I now owe him."
"That's insane nobody has that kind of money, do they?"
"I do." I say "but it would take me a while to get a payment like that cleared even with my contacts. I could get a head start."
"That would take time we don't have." Eric sighs "We need it now or he's going to out Mom here tonight."
"It's your 18th Birthday, which means the check book to your Rhodes trust fund is somewhere in that pile of presents." Serena suggested
"Okay. All right, let's get un wrapping."
"I'll help." I followed Eric and Serena, and grabbed a bunch of present and took them to Serena's room. The three of us started unwrapping.
"Eric, you have some interesting presents. But no check book yet." I mumble
"Ugh I hate profession gift wrapping." Serena groaned trying to unwrap another present. Mom came in
"What are you doing? Do you realise how gauche it is to ope gifts at a party before dessert." she scolded him
"I was just so exited to have a new addition to my stock portfolio." he lied
"Well at least make a list for thank you notes." Mom left and Blair entered
"I'm on hold with Victor from the flower market." she told us
"You've already done enough by getting me this, uh, Salad bowl?" he gestured to the glass bowl
"It's Baccarat. And it's for my mother. Which means your Larry Clark print is on it's way to her. Penelope" she huffed storming out. a phone beeped it was Serena's
"I'll be right back, keep unwrapping."
"Yeah." she to left and we continued un wrapping. A couple of minutes later Damien came in.
