A/N: Here's another chapter. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. Like I have mentioned before I do follow the show a lot like I did in Secret Keeper.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy Ellis.

I'm a Virgin

Darcy woke up to her phone ringing loudly in her ear. She rolled over and picked up ignoring the caller ID.

"Hello" she said groggy.

"Morning Ellis" Chuck's voice said through the phone

"Bass, why in the hell are you calling me this morning?"

"I'm gonna text you an address can you meet me there?"

"I don't like how that sounds."

"I need your opinion"

"Fine let me shower first"

"No need, I'm sure you look good however you come"

"You're a pig" she said and hung up. She quickly showered and got in her uniform and headed to the address Chuck had texted her. She walked into the building. She really liked it. Her secret fascination was old style buildings. She found Chuck leaning on a bar.

"You made it"

"Why am I here?" she asked.

"I need you honest opinion"
"Well that's my opinion always"

"I know which is why I called 2 of my worst critics"

"Behind my father but yes."

"So what is this place" Darcy asked looking around. She ran her hand along the bar

"Something I want to invest in. I have a meeting with my father about it."

"You want your dad to invest in a strip joint" Blair said. Darcy stopped walking and turned to the girl.

"How midtown, a Burlesque club. A respectable place where people can be transported to another time, where they can feel free to let loose no judgement pure escape. What happened at Victrola stays at Victrola." Chuck replied.

"Well it does have franchise potential" Blair said. "Chuck Bass I do believe all your years of underage boozing has truly paid off. I am proud."

"Well you are my toughest critic, well second." Chuck said then turned to Darcy "Ellis?"

"I'm with Blair." She said. She did have opinions about it but not with Blair standing there.

"So do you think your father will go for it" Blair asked.

"It is exactly the kind of innovative thing upon which the Bass Empire was built. It's the perfect thing. I have been waiting for this".

"Well were late" Blair said checking her watch and turning to leave "You coming?"

"I gotta pitch it to Bart. Victory Party here tomorrow"

"I wouldn't miss it" Blair said then left.

Chuck turned to Darcy who was still looking around. She thought this place was amazing.

"So?" Chuck asked Darcy

"What?" she asked turning her attention to him.

"Ellis?"
"I like it. Burlesque is antique and dates back as far as the 16th century, adding stripteases in the 1920s. Everything about it is fascinating."

"A girl who knows her Burlesque"

"I feel like I have entered this time machine." She said. "Everything is so vintage"

"So you really like it?"
"Yes Bass, this place is amazing." She said

"Thanks"

"Good Luck" she said and surprising both herself and Chuck she kissed his cheek and skipped out.

She got to the school and spotted Nate in the girl's hallway.

"Hey Archibald" she said. "Are you visiting Blair?"

Nate grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty classroom. Darcy had dreams a little like this but in them Nate kissed her but this was reality so that didn't happen.

"I was looking for Jenny"

"Chuck's angel?"

"Yeah"

"Why?"
"I kissed her"
"Blair, Serena and now Jenny. Dude I can't keep up"

"I listened to what you said at the ball"

"Okay, who did you choose?"

"I went to talk to Serena"
"How does that lead to kissing the freshman?"

"I thought Jenny was Serena."
"I…how?" she asked trying to calculate it in her head.

"They were both wearing Yellow"

"Okay but how did you figure out that it wasn't Serena."

"After I thought I kissed Serena. Serena ran into me and pushed me toward Blair"

"All this excitement going on and I had to pick that moment to get air and rescues Chuck. What the hell"

"You could have left him"

"I believe in Karma. So is Jenny gonna tell Blair"

"No, she said she won't tell. Which means you can't"

"Me tell Blair? You're funny"

"Darcy"
"I won't tell a soul."

"Thanks Darc"

"Anytime Nate" she and smiled at him. He gave her a hug and then walked out of the classroom. She waited a few minutes. She didn't need rumors that she was in a classroom with Nate Archibald going around. She didn't like Blair and was not sure how Blair liked her but that was not a way she was gonna test it.

The next morning Darcy headed downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast. Her original plan was to meet her Uncle down there but he had called the night before and had to cancel. She got down into the courtyard and spotted Lily and Chuck sitting on a step. Chuck pretty drunk which only meant one thing. His father didn't like the club.

"Morning" she said walking over to them.

"Morning Darcy" Lily said.

"Morning Miss Van der Woodsen, Bass"

"Ellis" Chuck said.

"I'll see you later Charles" Lily said getting up. "Bye Darcy"

Darcy sat down where Lily had been sitting. She couldn't believe she was about to comfort Chuck Bass.

"Why do I have a feeling that was an awkward conversation" she said.

"Go away Ellis"

"Did your father not go for it?"

"Darcy. Go Away!"
"Look Bass. I get it that you're mad. But you're mad at your dad. Taking it out on Lily was not the way"

"Leave me alone" he said standing up and began walking away.

"Chuck!"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Fine!"

"I'm going to Victrola. I rented it for the night I might as well enjoy it"

"Whatever" she said.

She wasn't sure why it made her upset he wasn't talking to her. That's all he did was talk and it annoyed her but now she was trying to get through to him and he was just ignoring her.

She arrived at Victrola after giving Chuck some time to cool down. She walked in seeing Chuck sitting front row.

"Best seat in the house?" she asked.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I like Burlesque, I thought we had this conversation." She said sitting down. "I thought I would check it out full swing. Even though Papa Bass wasn't interested."

"Were discussing it"

"So he changed his mind"

"I guess"

"Well if he doesn't. I have money and lots of it."

"Darcy Ellis wants to invest in a Burlesque club"

"Why not." She shrugged. He looked at her this girl was very intriguing. "Think about it. That's all I ask."

"Business with you?" he asked.

"I know I thought about that too but I figured I've done worse things" she laughed then turned to the show unaware that Chuck wasn't paying attention to the show any more his whole focus was on Darcy. During the next hour he tried his best to watch the show but he enjoyed more watching Darcy enjoy the show. Darcy heard Chuck's phone buzz and looked over at him.

"Nate's here" he said.

"He texted you"

"My driver did. Said the limo is here" he said and got up and Darcy followed him. Really wanting to see Nate. Chuck went up to the limo and opened the door only for Blair to pop out. Of course she would be here with Nate. She closed the door and Chuck gave her a weird look. "Where's Nathaniel?"

"I think we broke up" Blair said.

"You broke up?" Darcy asked.

"That's right Darcy. Run off and comfort him.

"Why?"

"I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna escape. That's what this place is for right?"

"You two have fun. I'm gonna go…"

"Find Nate" Blair asked "Don't bother he's busy with his father."

"Actually Blair I just don't want to be around you and since I just spent an hour with Bass here by myself. That says something about how I feel about you" Darcy said getting ready to call a cab but stopped and turned to Chuck. "Text me about that proposal."

"Yeah definitely"

Darcy headed back to her room. She really needed an escape of her own and only knew one way how. She walked into her bedroom and looked under her bed and found an old silk pillow case. Inside the pillow case were several joints a little ashtray and a few lighters. She grabbed the case and then found her way up onto the roof top of the palace. She found a good spot in the middle of the roof and sat down. She got a joint out and lit it up. She stood up and walked over to the ledge and leaned on the brick banister. She just stared out onto the city lights. After a while of just being there she heard the door open behind her.

"Ellis" she heard and she turned to see Chuck standing there.

"Bass" she said "Night end early at the Burlesque club"
"Well it is 3am"

"Oh right" she commented totally had forgotten about time.

"Things did get interesting though. You missed a lot"
"Like?"

"Blair"
"Bass you know how I feel about Blair"

"No I didn't but after that little chat you had before leaving explains a lot"

"So what did she do?"

"She danced"

Darcy turned to Chuck shocked at those words.

"Virgin Blair Waldorf." Darcy asked. But then again maybe she did have it in her. Darcy was a virgin and she had danced for many guys.

"Not anymore"

Darcy sat down not quite sure what he meant by that. Part of her wanted to know and the other part didn't. Chuck sat down next to her.

"Can I have a hit?" he asked and she passed it over. He took a puff and passed it back to her. "I slept with Blair"

"You took her virginity?"

"Yeah"

"Seriously Bass!" she yelled.

"What?"

"How drunk was she"

"She had a few"

"Bass!"
"What?"

"I'm sure it was important to her or else she would slept with Nate ages ago"

"Was your first time special, because mine wasn't?"

Darcy took a hit and sat in silence. She really didn't want to answer that. Admitting she was a virgin out loud wasn't something she wanted to do especially to Chuck Bass.

"Ellis?"

"I'm a virgin" she said saying it. Like ripping a Band-Aid.

"Darcy Ellis? Virgin?" Chuck asked not believing it. That was the problem with Hollywood. They made you out to be the person you exactly weren't. They were normally right about her like 75% but that part about her sleeping with certain people. That wasn't true.

"You have a problem with that?" she asked.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

"Every girl thinks about it Bass. How they want it, with who. It's a big deal to girls like Blair and I. I can't believe I put Blair and me in the same sentence. "She said then sat in silence. Chuck took the joint from her "Yeah I have thought about a person I wanted to do it with"

"Nate?"

"No" she said "Bass I'm being serious here"

"Fine, go ahead."

"It was right before my mother died."

"Oh."

"Okay before I tell you this story you can't tell anyone."

"Deal"

"A fact to know. I can't say the L word. Not even to my parents."

"Okay"

"This guy I thought he was everything. My soulmate I guess."

"What made him not be?"

"My mom died that morning before he and I were supposed to and everything changed."

"What does that have to do with the word love?

"When I was 4 I told my mom it all the time. Then she got sick and I thought it was me who did it. When I was 12 I thought I was ready to say it again and I went to go tell my mom that and she got sick. I was gonna tell Austin on our special night only for my mom to die that morning. I say it or attempt to and something bad happens."

"I'm sorry Darc"

"You saying Sorry that actually is something" she smiled. She was surprised that she had admitted all of that Chuck but maybe he was her friend after all. She turned herself so she laid her head down by the pillow case. Chuck doing the same. Neither one of them saying another word. They just looked up and tried to forget all their problems.
