Chapter Sixteen - Old Habits




Dan and I were going to meet Jenny. I wanted to give her good luck before her interview.

"Veronica, Hi. Are you waiting for Jenny Humphrey?" I ask

"Yes I am, she's running late though." Veronica told me

"Oh that's unlike her. Oh this is her brother and my fiancee, Dan" They shook hands. I saw as a cab pull up and Jenny go out.

"Dan, Rosie. You didn't have to meet me here besides I'm already late."

"We were in the neighbourhood. This is Veronica she was waiting for you." Dan replied

"Oh sorry. Hi. I'm Jenny Humphrey. I had a couple of organisational issues." Jen explained

"No, problem Jenny. The models are already inside getting dressed. And Mr Gunn is already on a very tight schedule today." Veronica replied

"Wish me luck?"

"Luck." I smiled

"I don't have to. You're my sister and I love you so i'm biased. If you could take Blair in stride today. Tim Gunn will be a piece of cake don't tell him I said that." We chuckled

"Thank you." she gave us both a quick hug and headed inside, so we waited.

"Why do you think Jenny was going on about us setting a date?" Dan wondered

"I might have tried to get Blair to extend on wedding circumstances. she didn't bite then I commented about no date." I admitted

"Do you wanna set a date?"

"At some point but we haven't even talked about it and it's been like a month, how about Rosie did you have a season or a idea of when you think we should get married. I was just making a off handed comment. Are you really gonna turn this into an argument?"

"No, I just wished you would have talked to me."

"I know I just...." I trail of seeing Blair approach "Oh no." Dan turns around

"Blair? I don't know what you're doing here but it's not gonna work Jenny's already inside." he told her.

"Oh, I came for the after party."

"Blair, how could you." Jenny came out and headed over I stopped her

"Jenny, wait what happened?" I asked

"She totally humiliated me and destroyed my collection." Jenny told us and I felt my anger rise.

"You broke the terms of our agreement. There, there is the five o'clock." she slipped a train ticket in Jen's portfolio. Then she left. 10 minuets later when she calmed down my phone started ringing.

"Chuck." I huffed

"Before you say anything I'm only calling because I saw Gossip Girl. I wondered if I might be able to offer some assistance."

"And why should I take it? Did you really think i wouldn't work out your behind Jenny's interview? This is a ploy in your war."

"Well, you are my sister I knew you'd catch on eventually. Tim Gunn is being honoured at the Observer's New Yorkers of the year party tonight at the boom boom Room. Why don't you three accompany me. Surely Jenny can find a quiet moment to plead her case. Why don't you run it by her, my way of making amends." I huff and turn around heading back over

"Chuck can get us into the Observer Party, Tim Gunn will be there." I tell her

"Well it's not like Blair can do anything worse to me. What about dinner with Dad?"

"Tell Jenny I'll leave tickets for the whole family. I look forward to seeing you at the festivities." he hung up

"So, What do you say?" i ask

--------------------------

I stood with Jenny, Dan and Eric at the observer party. Jenny was shaking with nerves. As she stood between the two males.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? RISD has a great Fashion program." Jenny suggest.

"We're not letting you give up on Parson. Come on." I dragged her away. We walked through and then we spotted him.

"Okay, you can do this."

"I thought you were going to help me." she panicked

"I am, just go up to him make small talk and casually drop that I'm wearing one of your dresses and I have been for years. Go on." I pushed her over and watched her talk to him. He glanced over and I gave a small wave. Then go to find Dan.

"Dan, as soon as Jenny's finished we need go. There's something I lacked to mention earlier." I told him taking his arm and we start walking

"What?"

"Jenny is being used by my brother in his war against Blair." I saw that he was about to talk "I know and they won't get away with it, but Jenny could really use the recommendation. Which is why I didn't say anything sooner." Our phones buzzed and we took them out know it was another blast.

Looks like New York's best kept secret is finally out: Turns out Little J didn't lose her V card to Damien Dalgard. She waited and Chucked it away with her stepbrother. Gets that explains the Humphrey in Hudson. Hell hath no fury like a Waldorf scorned.

"It's obviously not true." Blair denied "Jenny put out the blast so that she would humiliate me. Tell them that she's lying." B ordered my brother

"Give it up Blair, everyone knows I did and who I gave it to." I clicked my tongue highly impressed by her bold move. Jenny walked away.

"Is it really bad that I'm so impressed by your little sister?" I wonder

"Rosie!" they scolded

"What? I'm just saying." I go after Jenny and find her drinking some water

"I am blown away, truly and utterly impressed." I tell her "Yes you just admitted a closely guarded secret to most women. Yet you just took away their mutual destruction card and boy oh boy." I let out a low whistle

"Thank you."

"On the other hand, if being here one day and you already go nuclear, maybe it's best if you stay away. Being a crafty sneaky little bitch isn't for everyone."

"Yet you handle it so well." she commented

"I do, don't i." I laugh then see Dan come over "Uh-oh here's bad cop. Catch you later." I get up and kiss Dan's cheek before leaving them to talk.

-3rd Person-

Blair rushed outside to catch up with Chuck before he left. Chuck was outside just as the car pulled up.

"Are you happy now that you've humiliated the both of us?" she huffed

"Check your own bloody hands Lady MacBeth . What do you think would happen when you play Carrie with her dresses." he retorted

"I only did that because you lured her back here to torture me."

"I told you I wouldn't stop."

"And thanks to your vendetta we both lost and Jenny Humphrey won." Blair rebuffed and Chuck nodded his head motioning behind her "If you've come here to gloat I would relish the moment it will be fleeting."

"You're right because i'm leaving. Despite what happened today. I can't beat you. In order to beat you I'd have to become you and I'm better than that. At least I wanna be." As she talked Dan and Rosie came out and heard what she said.

"Nice try Jenny. We know that your scared just trying to save face." Blair retorted

"You two used to be in love. Together, you were invincible . But now you've turned against each other it's just a matter of time before your mutual destruction. When that happens maybe I will think about coming home. But for now goodbye, good riddance and good luck." I smile proudly as she turned around and we walked her home.
