Chapter One: A Bit of Confusion

Dan woke up a confused man. Not only had he gone to see another film with Blair Waldolf last night, but he had actually had a good time. And when she had moved closer to him, a seat closer instead of the two seat rule she always enforced when in public with him- due to a couple making out rather loudly-, he smiled at her and said,

"Seriously Blair? I don't bite. And I know you want some of my popcorn."

She rolled her eyes and sighed heavily but moved over none the less.

"Only this ONE time Humphrey." She whispered coldly. He laughed and handed the popcorn over which she took greatfully.

Dan sat up and ran his hands through his hair, then rubbed his eyes trying to wake up. He and Blair had been out pretty late and it didn't help that he had a family brunch he was expected at in an hour. Wow. He and Blair had been out late. He never thought that he would be hanging out with Blair, but strangely enough he was finding that she took interest in the same things he did. Dan's thoughts were interrupted by a banging on his loft door.

"Humphrey!...HUM, Oh there you are! Took you long enough!"

Dan opened the door to find Blair standing in front of him.

"Not that I am not ecstatic to see you Blair, but to what do I owe this pleasure?" Dan smiled. Blair smirked at his slight use of sarcasm and walked into the loft handing Dan a yellow envelope containing his resume and editorials.

"You left this in the car last night Humphrey." She smiled walking over to the couch and examining it before she sat down.

"Wow. Thank you Blair! I have an interview today too. But why did you come all the way to Brooklyn to give this to me. You hate Brooklyn and me."

"I don't hate you Humphrey, I just find you highly annoying." She replied in defense.

"Well that's just so much better." Dan smirked. She ignored his sarcasm again and continued.

"Anyway I have need for you."

Dan rolled his eyes

"What do you want Blair."

Blair looked up at Dan and hesitated. This can't be good Dan thought to himself.

"Well…Dan I read your piece with your resume… and it was actually… good."

Dan half laughed to himself and she glared. Dan walked over and sat down next to her on the couch.

"Blair. Did you just give me a compliment?" He laughed

"No… I…it's a fact that it was a good paper is all I'm saying." She blurted.

Dan smiled at her and she smiled back hesitantly.

"Well one step at a time Waldolf."

She looked at him with a puzzled look. He wasn't sure what he had meant by that either, but the air had suddenly become a little heavier and uncomfortable, and sitting this close to her didn't help. Blair must have felt it too because she changed the subject quickly.

"None the less, I may need some assistance in acquiring an internship." She stated professionally.

"Oh no Blair, you are not involving me in one of your schemes." Dan said sitting back farther into the couch.

"It's not a scheme Humphrey! It's more of…well…let's just say that up until now I haven't really taken an interest in writing, but now I have, and well you being a…"

"…good writer?" He finished for her smiling, she glared.

"…I was hoping that you could look over a couple of my pieces for an internship I'm applying for?"

Dan was shocked. He looked at her in complete shock. Blair was asking him for help. She must have noticed his delay because she smacked his shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?" He laughed.

"Well? Will you help me or not?"

"I never turn down a friend in need Blair, so yeah I'll help."

She looked a little uncomfortable but pleased at his use of the word 'friend' but quickly rebounded, standing up from the couch.

"Good. I'll expect you at 3pm." She responded walking over to the door.

"Blair my interview is at 2."

She turned around looking annoyed and sighed heavily.

"Fine Humphrey. Make it 4, but don't be late."

With that she left leaving Dan still sitting on his couch a bit confused, and wondering why the hell he had just agree to spend more time with Blair Waldolf.
