standing on the threshold; taking in the scene。 ?e here and give me a big kissie…poo
immediately!?
Serena followed Blair?s example; depositing her hunter green Herm?s canvas tote on the
well…polished floor and embracing the diminutive designer。 The pugs swirled around her; rubbing
their fat; drool…dripping jowls against her already…tanned legs。
?Oh my goodness; behave!? Bailey scolded the dogs; though they paid no attention; wagging
their tiny blond rumps crazily。 ?Girls; let me introduce you。 These are Azzedine; Coco; Crist?bal;
Gianni; and Madame Gr?s。? He nodded to his five bug…eyed dogs。 ?Kiddies; these are the girls:
Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen; my new muses。 Play nice!?
?Should I get the bags?? inquired a deep voice with a vaguely German accent。 Blair turned to see
a lanky; floppy…haired boy enter the room from the sunlight…flooded hallway that led to the back of
the house。 Blair could see an almost…black infinity…edge swimming pool through the
floor…to…ceiling windows behind him。 The boy was wearing a threadbare orange T…shirt that barely
covered his caramel…colored biceps; and tattered olive cargo shorts that hung below his knees。
Where had she seen him before? In an Abercrombie catalog? In his underwear on a billboard in
Times Square?
In her dreams?
?Oh hel…looooo;Stefan;? Bailey squealed。 ?The girls will stay in the pool house。?
?Certainly。? Stefan grinned; grabbing Blair?s and Serena?s abandoned bags。
?We?ve got more in the car;? Blair informed him; admiring the way his biceps flexed as he
negotiated her overstuffed carryall。
?Naughty girl!? Bailey stage…whispered; catching Blair?s eye。 He placed a well…tanned if slightly
orange arm around her shoulders; giving her a squeeze。 ?He?s a treat; isn?t he??
Blair nodded enthusiastically; although the sight of Stefan?s taut arms and sun…kissed hair made
her think of the one…timemaybe…still love of her life; Nate Archibald。 The sun always seemed to
work magic on Nate?s body。 He could be wearing a nerdy polo from back in ninth grade and the
dorky pressed Brooks Brothers khaki Bermuda shorts his mom always bought for him; but with a
tan he still looked ridiculously hot。
Pulling up to Bailey?s concrete…and…glass house a few minutes ago; Blair hadn?t been able to
help but surreptitiously scan the neighboring driveways for sight of Nate?s car。 His family always
summered in Maine; but she?d heard he was staying at their new Hamptons beach house while he
worked for his coach。 She?d never been there; but it was around here some…where。 Not that she?d
really thought about it or anything。
Sure she hasn?t。
It was the last summer vacation of her entire life? yes; college would have summer vacations; too;
but Blair expected they would be filled with important internships at fashion magazines;
