A/N: Here you guys go. Hope you enjoy. I really like this chapter. Some cutesy Bass and Ellis moments. And the Palace rooftop is back.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy. My beautiful talented great girlfriend Darcy.

I Only Wanted In Her Pants.

Darcy walked into the bedroom on the phone with her dad.

"So they want you to do a movie this summer. Can you and Chuck handle that you barely survived Winter Break?"

"We'll get through this"

"Darc?"

"Bass knows how important this movie is to me. He respects my passion."

"How important is this movie?"

"David O Russsell, He's like…"

"I know who he is Darc. I was married to your mother"

"Right. Anyways. He handpicked me for this role. I still had to do an auditions so when I was there for the wedding I stopped by and did it and he said he should have stuck with his first instinct and gave me the part."

"Wow my daughter. Taking Hollywood by storm"

"That's me"

"So how are you two gonna handle that?"

"Like we handle everything. With an open and honest conversation" she replied walking out of the room.

"Raina is the one person that can stop her father from buying Bass Industries. I need us to be friends so she'll spare my company."

"I gotta go dad. I'll call you later"

"Alright love you."

"You too" she said hanging up and walking over to Chuck.

"She doesn't strike me as a friend with a guy only type of girl. So give it time" Nate said.

"Time is something I don't have."

"What are we talking about?" Darcy said kissing Chuck's cheek.

"One of my Cooperate weasels informed me that their board is voting tonight at 8. To approve the bid. Once this happens Bass Industries is toast."

"Damn" Darcy replied.

"We need to up our game" he replied as the elevator dinged.

"Hello" Blair shouted. "Anyone home?"

"Great" Darcy whispered and Nate laughed.

"Epperly meet my good friend Chuck Bass."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Bass" Epperly said.

"That's Nate and um Darcy" Blair said. "Chuck, we need a favor. The magazine lost its space for the kickoff party tonight and Epperly and I both agree The Empire would be the perfect replacement"

"Ellis?" Chuck asked turning to Darcy. Darcy opened up her phone and pulled up the calendar she had made for the Empire.

"Um actually the Empire is already spoken for" Darcy said then thought about Chuck's predicament with Raina. "What about the Palace Bass?"

Chuck looked at her thinking what she was thinking and turned to Blair.

"The Palace is available" Chuck said.

"The Palace?" Blair said "It would lend an air of old world sophistication"

"I will let you all handle this. I have something I need to do" she said kissing Chuck

"Like?" Chuck asked pulling away

"Helping you." she smiled "Trust me"

"Always"

"Bye Blair, Epperly" she said and turned to Nate "Nate"

She headed out and tried to track Raina down. She finally found her.

"Raina, hey" Darcy said.

"Darcy Ellis, what brings you to me?"

"I realized you and I. Um we got off to the wrong start"

"I guess yeah."

"So I was thinking maybe we could grab lunch, maybe go shopping?"

"Well I have a meeting with my dad, but I guess afterwards."

"Awesome" Darcy smiled "We both need a gal pal in this business. The boys are all work no play."

"Oh I know" Raina laughed.

"So um meet at the Palace after your meeting then?"

"Sounds great. See you then Darc."

Darcy went and ran a few errands and came back to the Palace to see Russell, Chuck and Raina talking.

"Do I need to be here? I actually have plans" she heard Raina say as she approached.

"I'm right on time" she said then turned to Chuck "Hi honey"

"Why are you here?" he asked as she kissed his cheek.

"Well Raina and I realized that we got off on the wrong foot."

"So we made plans, were about to have lunch." Raina said.

"Well let me join you. We can give Raina the grand tour of the Palace. We can start with lunch in the restaurant."

"I have to get back to the office but I think it's nice, a Bass and a Thorpe being seen together" Russell said and walked away.

"Shall we" Chuck said guiding both women into the restaurant.

They all sat down at a table and waited for someone to take their order. Chuck made a point to mention every waiter's name as they walked by which Darcy noticed Raina paid attention to. They ordered and the table went silent for a while.

"You two make a very lovely couple." Raina said "How did you two meet?"

"School Steps" Darcy replied. "He hit on me."

"I did not" he said smirking at her. "I told you my name. You just assumed I did"

"Oh really Mr. I'm Chuck Bass" she smirked back.

"So no love at first site?" Raina commented.

"I hated him." Darcy commented back.

"I only wanted in her pants." Chuck said as the waiter brought their food.

"Charming" Darcy replied.

"Well something must have happened because now you're here and in love."

"Darcy became my go to girl as the months and years progressed. She knows everything about me."

"Same as me" she smiled at him.

"I can't lie to her. It's impossible."

"Romantic" Raina said. "But how did it go from that to here"

"We spent the last summer together and one thing just lead to the next." Darcy said

They finished their lunch.

"Lunch was amazing" Raina commented.

"You'll have to tell Justin when you see him. He's our executive chef" Chuck replied as their waiter collected their things. "Thank you Daniel. The service was impeccable as always"

"Indeed it was Daniel" Darcy commented.

"Thank you so much Mr. Bass, Miss Ellis" Daniel said and walked away.

"Chuck I know you're trying to make me feel guilty about buying the Palace and firing all these nice people but business is business you know that. What's with the show?"

"It's not a show. I actually grew up here. Other kids have neighbors and pot lucks. I have concierges and room service. I know these people because they're my extended family. I shouldn't expect you to understand" Chuck said.

Darcy eyed him from across the table. She wasn't sure herself if he was playing Raina's guilt or if he was actually being honest.

"Actually I do" Raina replied "When my mother abandoned us. My dad couldn't sleep in her house anymore so he moved us into the penthouse of The Blake and we never left."

"Nothing like being a guest at your own home"

"You should see the Palace at night" Darcy added in "There's a party tonight. You should come. As our guest"

"Maybe another night. I have a meeting I can't miss. In fact I'm gonna have to cancel our shopping plans. Rain check for tomorrow" Raina said. "I'm gonna get my coat. Thanks for lunch.

She got up and left. Chuck turned to Darcy.

"Shopping?" he asked.

"I was taking a different approach. Which may actually work."

"I think it just might" he said and kissed her.

"So that speech? Real or fake?"
"I'll admit it started as a show"

"Well you have been taking excellent lessons from me"

"It pays to date an actress" he replied and kissed her. "Now I actually have somewhere I want to take you now"

"Oh?" she replied and he pulled her up on to her feet and guided her to a place she knew way to well. The rooftop. "Bass"

"The start of our friendship" he smiled.

"A beautiful one at that" she said and kissed him.

Darcy's phone rang and she looked to see Nate.

"Take it" he replied kissing her again.

"Hello" she said.

"Was I selfish?"

"Excuse me?"
"Was I selfish?"

"As in"

"Darc do I have to spell it out loud"

"Oh my god Archibald really?"

"Blair…"

"I am not having this conversation"

"Just say yes or no"

"No" she said then hung up.

"What was that about?"

"Your roommate is weird and spent the day with Blair" she replied.

Chuck gave her a weird look.

"Let's go home" she said grabbing his hand.

"One second" he said kissing her again leading to more of a make out session. One thing they had never done on the roof.

Later that evening they arrived at the party. After their rooftop make out session Chuck went and took care of some stuff while Darcy changed. She met him out front of the Palace.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" he said and she leaned up and kissed him. "Should we head inside?"

"I guess" she said taking his arm. They headed inside and Chuck's phone buzzed. "Is she coming?"
"She's coming" he replied as they found the bar. "One sparkling cider and a scotch"

The guy handed it over and she took a sip glancing around the room looking for Raina. She spotted Blair smacking Nate's butt as he walked away with another girl and she spit her drink back into her cup.

"You okay?" Chuck asked her and she turned to him and nodded. She spotted Raina walking their way.

"She's here" she smiled setting her now ruined drink down.

"I missed my meeting" Raina said.

"Was it worth it?" Darcy asked.

"Only if you tell me something about this place. Like your hiding spot"

"My hiding spot?" Chuck asked.

"You're hiding spot."

"Did Ellis tell you?" Chuck said glancing at Darcy and she shook her head no.

"I grew up in a hotel too remember?"

"The hiding spot? Hmm where is that" Chuck said "Right it's a secret."

"So Does Darcy here know it?"

"Probably, probably not" Darcy said shrugging her shoulders.

"Well you are gonna help me find it" Raina said grabbing Darcy's hand and pulling her toward the kitchen.

"That's not a fair advantage. Ellis knows me better than anyone."

"You're just scared we will find it" Raina commented.

Darcy smirked at her boyfriend as they continued the search. Raina kept guessing until they finally found it. Right when they found it Russell barged in interrupting.

"Chuck knew about the vote. He kept you away on purpose." Russell said.

"Is that true?" Raina asked but Chuck couldn't respond. Raina stormed away.

"I'll follow her." Darcy said giving Chuck a peck on the cheek and took off after her. She got outside and spotted her. "Raina!"
Raina stopped and turned to Darcy.

"Did you know it was tonight?" Raina asked.

"Yeah, I did" she said.

"That's why you all of a sudden wanted to be friends?"

"I wanted to help Bass. I really care about him and The Palace and his dad's company is his world. But I seriously judged you way to fast."

"And I you but Darcy. You and I as friends won't work. Especially now."

"When I moved to New York I didn't know anyone but I quickly became friends with two people and I would do anything for either one. One of them being Bass. I learned just how quickly you get sucked into their world. I'm like you in a way. My mom isn't around and I know that only having your dad you want to trust him. I get that."

"Your mom isn't around?"

"She died when I was 16" Darcy replied. "Look Raina. Please don't think about what we did tonight. Go with your gut feeling on that vote. That's all I ask."

She walked away and back into the party as Serena was walking out.

"What's going on?" she asked her sister.

"Our brother, Dan, and Damien"

"Ok that's an interesting trio."

"I promise to fill you later, I need to find Ben." she said and walked away.

The next morning Darcy walked into the living room and was greeted by Chuck with a passionate kiss.

"I do like those" she said "What's the occasion?"

"Just saying how lucky I am to have you."

"Keep talking" she smiled and kissed him.

"Whatever you said to Raina was genius" he said between kisses.

"Really?"

"She called me and told me I was a lucky man to have landed you and to never let you go."

"I like her."

"She said the same about you" he said kissing her again. Nate walked out into the living room.

"Sorry I interrupted" he said to them.

"It's no problem." Darcy said. "Where you headed?"

"Meeting Dan. We're um going to find Eric."

"Oh my god, where is he?"

"Damien's"

"Why is he with him?"

"Ellis, let them handle it."

"He's my brother" she said Nate walked over to her and put both hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"Dan and I got this okay." He said then kissed the top of her head "Don't worry"

Nate walked out and Darcy turned to Chuck and he pulled her close.
