A/N: Here's you guys a chapter.

Thanks for all the comments on what story I should do next and I've actually decided to work on some of my original work. So you won't be seeing me on here for a while after 'I Love You' is done. But I will definitely have both of those story ideas in the back of my mind. I think my issue with them right now is I'm completely blocked when it comes to the Gossip Girl Universe. I've gotta think of a different way to do them. So until then I'm just gonna focus on my original works, which I got some idea running through my mind. Now Here's your next Chapter.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy.

Charity Gala

Darcy walked into the Empire as Nate and Chuck were talking.

"Well I have faith in you" Nate said "Besides I could use some time on the straight and narrow myself. At least from anyone that might temp me"

"I thought things between you and Diana were going well?" Darcy asked walking over to Chuck.

"Ellis is right. You two were all the talk of the papers last week." Chuck replied

"It was disgusting yes but isn't going public what you wanted?" Darcy replied sitting down.

"Yeah but it doesn't change a thing. It's still just sex and work all the time. Same as before" Nate answered.

"Just sex? How horrible" Darcy commented.

"Har Har Darcy"

"If she won't commit to you in public like she does in private then maybe it's time to explore your options" Chuck said then looked at Darcy who had a smile on her face.

"Like perhaps Charlie?" Darcy replied.

"As much as I love that you two are back together. I also hate it" Nate replied.

"We're a good team"

"Monkey" Chuck called and their dog came running in.

"Have fun" she said giving him a kiss and he and Monkey left.

"Really Charlie?" Nate asked.

"She's cute, I approve of her and I think she might like you"

"But she used me"

"And you her" Darcy added "Bass and I sort of started by using each other"

"No you two started by pretending to be other people. That's different."

"Same diff"

"If it will make my best friend happy I'll talk to her"

"I'll take it" she smiled then kissed his cheek.

"I change my mind. I only love that you and Chuck are back together. You and he are both a lot happier then you were this summer"

"Thank you" she said "Now I have some items still at the apartment so talk later."

"I'll bring the Chinese food" he replied.

She got back to the apartment and set her bag on the counter.

"Look who decided to grace us with her presence" her dad said.

"Har, har" she replied.

"Well one week you're here and the next you're not"

"You father is right" her uncle said joining them.

"Is it gang up on Darcy day?"

"No" her dad replied "But what brings you by"

"More clothes"

"Just move back in with him already" he replied.

"I am, slowly."

"Good" they both said.

"I'm happy again and I am good"

"Well Chuck keeps you grounded"

"Something you and I have already discussed" she replied as her phone vibrated. She glanced seeing a gossip girl post about Nate and Charlie. "Looks like he took my advice"

"Who?"

"Nate"

"Your ex?" Keith asked.

"He's also my best friend and Bass's best friend. He needs me"

"He's a good guy" her dad said "Poor thing couldn't make it with either one of my daughters."

"We're too much for him"

"Funny" he dad joked.

"I'll see you guys later. I have to get my clothes then Bass and I are going to a charity that he's helping out with. "

"So the power couple really is back" her dad commented.

"Har har" she said walking into her room. She got some more clothes then left. She got back to the Empire and spotted Chuck sitting on the couch.

"I feel like you're slowly moving back in"

"Oh no! You caught me" she laughed "You have a problem with that?"

"Not at all" he said walking over to her and kissed her.

"Then I shall put these away and go buy myself a dress for tonight"

"Heads up about tonight" He said "I can totally back out if you disapprove"

"Why do I have a feeling I'm not gonna like this?"

"Cause you probably won't"

"Alright, go ahead" she said.

"Dorotta visted me today"

"Okay?"

"She wants me to show Blair that I haven't changed. That I'm still the same guy who traded her for a hotel"

"But you're not that guy."

"Exactly."

"How does she think you're gonna convince her?"

"By kissing her"

"Okay" Darcy said and he looked at her weird.

"Are you sure?"

"You wanted me to disapprove?"

"Possibly. It will feel weird"

"Bass, I trust you with my whole heart. If you have to kiss her to convince her that you're bad and Louis is good then go for it. But at the end of the night you are here in bed with me and only me" she said.

"Really"

"I know that you are mine forever"

"Forever?" he said and she nodded then kissed him.

"Forever" she replied pulling away "Now I really need to go find that dress"

Later that evening they arrived at the Charity. Their cards were called and they walked in.

"Even in a mask you are the most beautiful girl here"

"Charming as always" she smiled then kissed him.

A little while later they went their separate ways. She watched the show still waiting for her man to return. A few moments later she felt a hand on her back.

"Hey beautiful" he said and she turned spotting a mark across his face

"Did she smack you?"

"Yeah"

"I'm sorry" she said then leaned up and kissed him.

"Let's go home" he said.

"Sounds nice" she smiled and he guided her out.

They arrived at home and collapsed on the couch. Nate arrived at home and they told each other about their nights.

"You kissed Blair so she'd think you hadn't change?" Nate asked.

"He had to" Darcy commented grabbing Chuck's hand kissing it

"And you let him kiss her"

"Yes I did"

"How selfless of you both"

"What about your happiness Archibald. Was there a clear winner in the war for your heart?"

"My heart was always in the right place. I realized it was my head that was being played with. So I've made my own decisions instead of everyone doing it for me" Nate said.

"Good for you Nate" Darcy said.

"I want what you two have" he replied as the elevator door opened and in walked Diana.

"You wanted to see me?" she asked.

"Yeah I did" Nate said then led her away and to his room.

Chuck turned to Darcy and gave her a small smile.

"As much as I hate her I want him happy"

"Like a good best friend" Chuck said kissing her forehead. "Let's go to bed Ellis"

She smiled up at him and he kissed her. Then he picked her up bridal style and took her to the bedroom.
