I Love You

Kisses

"I thought your dad gave you that" Serena said

"Busted." Darcy smirked.

"Oh my god B he sounds amazing..." Serena replied catching on

"You're lying" Chuck said standing next to Darcy.

"I do like Soap Operas, but yours is not one I'm interested in" Darcy said "Bye S, Bass"

Later that night she sat at dinner with Cece, Blair, Blair's boyfriend, Eric and Chuck. Everything was going great till Chuck had to start asking questions.

"So James did you get the chance to meet Harold and what's his boyfriend's name." Chuck asked.

"Ramon. Only briefly at the Chateau although Cat didn't seem to like me nearly as much. I have the scars to prove it"

"Well you certainly crammed an awful lot in such a short time"

"Bass" Darcy said.

"Has Blair told you her favorite movies yet" Chuck said ignoring Darcy. "Tiffany, Roman Holiday, and of course Charade"

"I hate Charade" Blair said. "Chuck stop harassing him"

"For once I am in agreence with Blair" Darcy said.

"How well do you know Blair Waldorf is kinda boring for those of us who actually know Blair" Eric said.

"And those of us who don't want to know."

"Not to mention transparent" Cece said.

"Why thank you grandmother" Chuck said.

"Why is it that when you say that word it sounds like an insult."

"Because he's an ass Aunt Cece" Darcy said.

"Too bad you took a bus and not a limo. Blair loves limos"

"Bass" Darcy said.

"Sweetie will you please pass me the salt and pepper." Blair asked James and he reached across the table.

"Uh excuse me I lost my appetite" Chuck said standing up and leaving Blair chasing him.

"So Darc how was your summer?" Eric asked switching conversations.

"Oh pretty good. Um my movie should be out by summer."

"Movie?" Cece asked.

"Darcy did a movie this summer" Eric said.

"It's really good Cece"

"I bet. How's your father?"

"He's in Africa. He spends a lot of his work life there"

"Always busy?"

"It distracts him from thinking about mom"

"They loved each other?" Cece said.

"Yeah they did." She smiled thinking about her parents. She really did miss her mom. This last summer was her second year without her.

The next morning she walked in town with Nate and Chuck.

"The limo's taking me back in an hour. You're welcome to join me" Chuck said.

"You're not going to the White Party? Come on pretty girls. White dresses." Nate asked.

"Unless there is a sprinkler I don't care"

"We could arrange it" Darcy said smiling.

"It's tourist season in the city. Easy pickings"

"Oh"

"Okay and I don't want Blair throwing her call boy in my face"

"Well after last night..."
