If I finish it I'll post it tomorrow, but I'm not so sure about my quickness ^^'

“This is just the perfect day to write. The rain outside, the quiet it brings… I mean, I would have spent the whole morning with Blair, but she’s busy with her interview…” Dan doesn’t even have the time to finish his sentence, when they hear a loud thud, coming from the next room. Just the one where Blair is having the interview. Dan places the plate with the rest of the pancakes on the table.

“I guess I’ll go to check on her…” He mumbles.

“THIS IS NOT WHAT WE AGREED!” He and Dorota hear Blair snapping.

“In a rush!” Dan adds, running away.

He enters the room in time to snatch the stapler from Blair’s hand before she throws it at the poor, scared journalist, who miraculously dodged the Columbia University yearbook she has thrown at him in the first place.

That’s the thud they heard.

“Blair, please, calm down!” “I’m extremely calm, Dan; it’s this guy who apparently doesn’t know how to do his job, because he asked me something very off-limits and he’s well aware of that!” She growls.

“Oh, c’mon, Miss Waldorf, former Mrs. Grimaldi, it was only an innocent question!” The journalist justifies.

“I’ll show you innocence!” She glares at him, then she seems to calm down. “On second thought, if you stay I can give you a really juicy scoop.” Blair says, so accommodating that Dan wonders if he should keep holding her still or let her go. “Really?” The journalist reaches for her. “Yes, the scoop about how I ended up in jail after I brutally attacked a way too nosy journalist: you!” She snaps, trying to grab the stapler again, but Dan is faster. Not so fast as the journalist who runs away for his life. “I’m not so sure if now I want to read the article he’s going to write about me.” She grumbles, as Dan finally lets her go.

“So, from stapler stealer to stapler thrower? You are starting to worry me, honey.” He sighs, stealing a smile from her, as he’s holding her hands.. “Do you care to tell me what happened?”

“Well, you know that I’m trying to reinvent myself, don’t you? And this ‘Influential women’s daughters’ interview seemed like such a nice idea.” Blair starts her report. “And everything was going so well, until that journalist so subtly shifted the focus from the main topic to the damn Monaco issue!” “Well, not very nice from him.” Dan grumbles.

“You’re telling me! Maybe I can still reach him downstairs and teach him a good lesson.” Blair is about to rush outside, but Dan manages to stop her in time. “Easy, lioness!” He chuckles, holding her still, as he massages her shoulders.

Blair turns behind, to look at him.

“So what? Are you going to dress like a lion tamer to tame me with a whip? C’mon, it could be so much fun!” She clicks her tongue. This triggers in Dan’s mind tons of erotic scenarios. After all, they went to see ‘Cats’ a few nights before and he already has several fantasies about a feline Blair since then.
