A/N: I am literally the worst. I tried having this chapter out many times but between computer issues and writers block I just couldn't get it out so I reread my entire story this far and finally got some inspiration so hopefully. Which I am not promising anything I will try and get more chapters out very soon.
Disclaimer: I only own Miss Darcy Ellis. That is all.
We Paid.
Darcy stepped out of the Elevator and into the Kitchen grabbing a water out of the fridge. Chuck and Nate stood there talking.
"…and a tattoo of a kangaroo.
"What did I miss?" she asked kissing Chuck.
"Nathaniel will explain. I'll be at the spa." Chuck said "Unless you want to join me?"
"Can't" she smiled and gave him one more kiss before he got on the elevator. She turned to Nate "Nate?"
"Diana is back"
"What? She's back?"
"Do you want me to tell her you say hello?"
"Does Lola know that your cougar ex is back?"
"No?"
"That explains the conversation then I walked in on?"
"Yeah" he replied "So what is Darcy Ellis doing today"
"Subject change" she said and Nate smiled. "Sister bonding time with Serena. She's been kinda in a funk since you know Dan and Blair"
"Have fun"
"Yeah you too, with Diana"
"Oh thanks" he laughed.
Darcy arrived at Blair's and headed up to Serena's room.
"Knock, Knock" she said.
"Darcy" Serena said.
"I thought maybe you'd want to hang out? Sister bonding time?" Darcy said sitting on Serena's bed.
"Yeah" Serena said closing a magazine
"What are you doing?" she asked looking at it.
"Finding a new It Girl. Would you be interested?"
"Hollywood Starlet, one half of a power couple. I'm good"
"Then any ideas on who?" Serena asked and there was knock on the door. They both turned and looked.
"Hey" Lola said.
"Hey Lola, what's up?" Serena said.
"I need someone to talk to"
"Well you came to the right place" Darcy said "What's on your mind"
"I just found out that the new investor in The Spectator is Diana Payne, Nate's ex-girlfriend. He totally lied to me about her. I don't know what to do. I really like him."
Darcy looked at Serena pretty sure what she was thinking.
"You know what? I know exactly what to do" Serena said "Come on lets go"
"I'll catch up with you both later then." Darcy said really not wanting to be involved. She headed over to the Spectator as Diana was leaving. "So she really is back"
"You didn't believe me?" Nate said "That really hurts Darcy"
"She's more of a see it to believe it kinda person"
"She took my office"
"I'm sorry Archibald" she said.
"Heads up. Chuck is looking into Elizabeth. You might wanna check in on him"
"Thanks Nate" she said hugging him.
"What are best friends for" he said and she took off.
Darcy arrived at the Empire and spotted Andrew Tyler leaving. She spotted Chuck sitting on the couch.
"I saw Andrew. What's up?"
"I need to talk to Blair. She knew Elizabeth"
"Okay" she said calmly. "I see that what we paid on her dowry went through"
"Ellis"
"Bass, I can't help but be a little jealous" she smiled.
"No need. You are the love of my life."
"Keep talking." She smiled kissing him.
"You are smart, beautiful, and oh so talented" he said kissing her back.
"I really like this talk" she smiled.
"And we can continue this talk later"
"Promise"
"I promise" he said kissing her again "I'll see you at the party"
"I'm looking forward to after the party" she smiled.
Darcy arrived at the party later and searched for Chuck.
"Darcy!" she heard Lola yell and she turned.
"Hey Lola, what's up?"
"You're Darcy Ellis?" a guy with Lola said.
"Uh yeah" she replied and turned her attention back to Lola.
"She's um sort of my…?"
"Cousin? It's very complicated" Darcy said "Um Lola have you seen Bass? Or your Boyfriend Nate?"
"Um no"
"Thanks, um nice meeting you…"
"Aiden"
Darcy walked away. She looked around and finally spotted Chuck sitting at the bar.
"Hey handsome" she said sitting next to him. He turned to her and gave him a weak smile. She turned to the bartender. "Scotch please. Make it a double"
"Ellis"
"It's for you" she said as the bartender gave her the drink. She handed it to Chuck.
"Why do you encourage me?" He said and looked up Seeing Blair. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you?"
"I'll leave…" She said but Chuck grabbed her hand.
"Stay" he said.
"So is it true? Did you pay for my dowry?"
"Who told you?" Darcy asked.
"Is it true?"
"Why does it matter?" Chuck said.
"I knew it. You thought you could buy me back"
"You're wrong"
"That's why you showed up with that ruse about friendship. You bought my divorce and you came to collect"
"Then why didn't I collect." Chuck said and Blair took off.
"Give me a moment" Darcy said and chased her "Blair!"
"What Darcy!" she yelled.
"It wasn't just Bass"
"What?"
"He didn't pay it. We did"
"You?"
"Blair you were miserable with Louis and after the accident. You and I connected. You kept my secret. I owed you"
"Oh"
"Blair, we both care about you. We just wanted to see you happy. Which you are with Dan"
"Thank you"
"And speaking of him, I see a guy that looks really into you" Darcy said spotting Dan.
"Chuck's a lucky guy to have landed you"
"I remind him that all the time" she smiled
She walked back over to Chuck and he kissed her.
"How was the talk?"
"It went well." She smiled "So I was thinking?"
"That could be dangerous."
"Hey" she smiled and put her arms around his neck. "How about instead of this show, I could possible put a show on for you?"
He smiled at her and nodded.
The next morning they laid in bed when Chuck got a phone call.
"I'll be right there" he said and hung up. "I'm sorry I'm gonna have to reschedule our spa morning."
"Its fine" she said and kissed him. "I'll just go alone and then wait for your return."
"I'll make it quick" he said kissing her.
