PLEASE forgive the errors, I was too friken excited to check over a million times and catch stuff. Haha. I hope you enjoy it.
The bright sunlight, that was starting to set shined itself over the backyard of a Hollywood Hills mansion, while a young man strutted himself out the back door of the six car garage. Tugging at his tie, loosening it up as he stormed nonchalantly towards his mother who observed the pool workers finishing up their cleaning.
Sliding his shades off his beautifully shaped face, revealing his icy blue eyes. His tussled hair was just the beginning to the many attractive features on this boy. His blue buttoned dress shirt hung out of his pants in a very lazy way, as his dress coat was still on him. He had the attitude of a bad boy Hollywood star; oh wait, he was one.
"What were you thinking?" he demanded towards his mother, who turned around. Her blond perfect hair was neat and styled, as her face was fixed up with expensive designer make-up.
"Oh relax." her voice was low and seductive, as she answered him carelessly. Turning her attention back towards the half naked and sweating, soaking wet men that were in her pool.
"Relax." he retorted amusingly, even though he found none of this amusing.
His eye followed her gaze and cringed as he watched his whore of a mother frolic with her eyes. Chad knew about his mothers unfaithful tendencies, and never really bothered to care, since he knew his father was just as bad.
He found the family a mess, a mistake and couldn't understand why he hadn't thrown their miserable pointless asses out of his two-hundred and fifty million dollar house.
"Uh, mom?" she ignored him and he felt his patience growing shorter as he turned her around by her shoulder, "We have a stranger coming to live with us. How is that relaxing?" he shrugged his shoulder and looked at her with complete oddness.
"Well you know," she said coyly, "It's for a good cause."
"Seriously?" he said raising his eyebrow.
"Yes." she said sternly.
"Well, c'mon, lets hear it." he said, putting his hands in his pockets, waiting eagerly for her pathetic excuse.
"She's been put in this new program, for teen who are homeless."
"Foster care? Wait… she?" his mom looked at him and smiled at his last question.
"No, it's different, certain teens apply for it and she recently has been added to it."
"So… you're adopting her?"
"No." she said again arrogantly.
"Then what is she coming here for?"
"I wanted to help out."
"Since when?"
"My friend, remember Lizzie?" oh yeah he remembered her. She had come onto him a few times, until he had to put her milf ass in place. He wasn't into older women, particularly moms. He nodded his head, shutting his eyes in blockage of the memory.
"Well her husband runs it. And I figured I'd lend a helping hand to one of those teenagers."
"That's just perfect." he mouthed off, looking away from her.
"I made sure it was a girl." she tried lightening the mood, "Besides, we have more then enough to offer and it's healthy to give back."
"Mom, this is one of your brilliant mistakes waiting to happen." he turned and walked away.
"Hey!" she yelled after him, "I'm the mother in this house and it's my decision!"
"That's a first!" he hollered back, as he disappeared into the house.
Chad pulled out his Iphone as he walked up the cold grey and white marble staircase. His skin was warm and irritated from his clothes from set. He walked off set as soon as the director said that's a wrap. He didn't even change out of his costume, he was too eager to get home.
He had less then an hour to shower up, get dressed and leave for his buddy's private party that was happening tonight at the Red Lounges Club.
Few hours later:
"Lets go!" Mr. Cooper hollered from downstairs, "The limo is here!"
"Chad walked downstairs in jeans and a t-shirt with his sleek black leather jacket. His hair wasn't perfect, as it was sexier to be a little messy. Ladies could never deny his sexy sex hair style.
"Where are you going?" his dad asked.
"Out." he turned around the staircase and headed for the kitchen.
"Okay, lets get there and get back." Mrs. Cooper said coming down the stairs, her heels echoing down the hall. Chad rolled his eye and he pulled out the carton of milk and took a big gulp.
His mom came inside the kitchen reaching for her fancy phone that sat on the counter on the other side of the island across from Chad.
"You know I don't like it when you do that." Chad couldn't care less, but he stopped drinking out of the carton and put it back.
"No one cares what I like."
"That's because you're a child sweetie."
"Who pays the bills?" he snapped back in a rude yet sophisticated way, shutting her up.
"Did you have plans tonight?" she asked, receiving a shrug from Chad.
"He's going out, now can we go?" Mr. Cooper came into the kitchen, "I have a flight at nine."
"No, no you're not going out." Chad looked down at his mother.
"Excuse me?" he laughed sarcastically.
"You have to be here to meet her."
"No." he shook his head, over and over.
"Chad, she is apart of the family for the next year or longer."
"What? No! I'm not involved with this bullshit. This is all you. You take care of her." he said as he walked out of the kitchen, slamming the garage door behind him.
"What are we going to do with him?" she asked turning to her husband.
"He's a grown boy, leave him alone."
The airport was crowded this evening as they got out of their private limo and walked inside of the airport.
"They walked up to a girl who wore exactly what Mrs. Cooper was told she'd be wearing. Her small body sat patiently and quietly in one of the chairs. Her torn loose jeans and oversized red zip-up sweater, that hung off one of her shoulders showing a white tank top. Her dark hair was pulled back in a sloppy ponytail that hung low. Her layers were falling out and shaping around her heart shaped face. Her ankles were crosses over each other and her grungy grey converse needed replacement. She had one brown worn out suitcase and a black bag that hung down to her waist. She chewed on her lip as her stomach churned as she awaited for her ride.
"Sonny Monroe?" Mrs. Cooper asked excitedly. Sonny's eyes shifted towards her and looked at her appearance. Her fancy slacks and white lace blouse tucked in with a thin designer belt wrapped around her waist. Her blonde hair was clean and full, fixed perfectly, along with her perfect skin.
"Hi." she smiled back weakly.
"It's nice to finally meet you." she reached out her hand and Sonny took it uncertainly.
"It's okay." Mrs. Cooper said, "I'm Kathryn, and this is my husband Howard."
"Hello, Sonny."
"Hi." Sonny, stood up and shook Howard's outstretched hand.
A man picked up Sonny's luggage and walked it outside to the limo.
"Lets get out of here." Kathryn said, placing her hand on Sonny's shoulder.
They walked outside and Sonny's eyes lit up when she lifted her head up. A man dressed in a black suit with a matching hat held a door open to the black expensive limo that awaited them. She looked at Kathryn and Howard, for permission to get inside. She wasn't sure if it was for her or not.
"Go on, sweetie." Kathryn smiled.
Sonny crawled inside and looked over the mini bar and television. The black luxurious leather seats and the tinted dark windows blew her mind. She had never been in such a vehicle.
Sonny came from a very poor family. They struggled all theirs lives and they had pretty much of nothing. Her hands folded tightly on her lap as she looked at the digital clock in front of her. It was after 8 and she felt her heart speed up.
She could smell the smell of the leather, an odd yet delightful smell she had never smelt before. Mrs. Coopers perfume lingered next to her as she moved to sit down beside Sonny.
"I like your jeans." Kathryn said, running her hand over the tears on her knee and thigh.
"Thanks, there old."
"Well, that's okay, because tares are very stylish." she laughed.
Sonny just looked away and focused on the feel of the limo moving beneath her. How smooth it drove as it pulled out of the LAX. The city lights lit up the night as they drove past hills and many cars on the huge freeway. Sonny admired the Hollywood sign as the drove past it. The bright lights were extraordinary.
"Are you hungry?"
"No thank you." Sonny replied softly.
Kathryn didn't notice how uncomfortable Sonny was at the moment with the fact of living with strangers. She just saw a pretty girl that she was going to enjoy treating her to many things tomorrow. She had a full day planned of shopping. She was even going to have Sonny redecorate her room, which she was planning on leaving the expenses to her son as usual… Since Howard wouldn't care to spend the money on a stranger. At the same time he didn't care because he was never home more then half of the time.
The hills were deep and dark, with only vague lights from houses in the distance. Each house was separated by many yards, miles the Sonny wouldn't want to walk.
When the limo turned onto a steep hill that arched onto a cobblestone road that began at the entrance of a cast iron gate. Sonny's eyes widened in shock, as her breath got caught in the base of her throat. Sonny couldn't see the image of the mansion that was up ahead, as the limo turned straight heading towards it.
The limo came to a smooth stop and Sonny swallowed hard as she saw the door open. She waited for Howard and Kathryn to get out as she slid against the leather and stepped out. Her old dirty shoes touched the clean cobblestones and she felt as if she were to pass out. The yellow glow from the lights shined through the window. The glass large windows that were taller then any human she had ever seen. The double glass doors, that were outlined with rich dark wood, and had beautiful swirls designed in the center of the glass. The tiles were a bluish-grey and the walls were made of multiple stones. The road turned into a front drive way, that circled and had a beautiful pond with ever-growing green plants, in the center of the drive.
To the right of her was a another part of the house that was pulling away, it was like the size of a one floor house. It had three huge garage doors that assumed held many cars.
"Are you ready to come inside?" Sonny's attention was pulled back toward the nice people who were offering their home to her.
"Yes."
Sonny was overwhelmed with house inside and out, down from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Even the long echoing halls that were a big part in many areas of the house. The staircase in front of the front door was just as thrilling as she looked up and noticing how the stairs started out straight, but as it got to the second floor that tended to spiral widely to further floors.
"You have a beautiful home."
"Thank you." Kathryn said.
"Well, I'll show you your room if you're not hungry."
Sonny caught herself counting each step she took up the hard stairs.
Her bedroom was just as marvelous.
"I'm sorry if it's not your style."
"No it's perfect." Sonny whispered.
"You can redesign it as soon as you're settled in."
"Really? Wow, thank you so much." Sonny smiled graciously.
Her eyes swarmed around the room, taking in the soft brown floors and the beige and white striped walls that set the room of so sweetly. The beautiful cream like draperies that had rose designs on it. The enlarged window, which was bigger then the front door. As soon as she heard footstep leaving, she looked behind her to see she was alone. She walked towards her queen sized bed, that was neatly made with a soft full white comforter, that was decorated with rich matching lace. Her pillows overtook the top part of the bed, along with all the beautiful rich mahogany brown furniture. She ran her hands along the silky touch of the polished wood of her huge dresser, which included a beautiful arched mirror above it. She had many jewelry boxes and a mirror tray enriched with a gold trim. There were empty perfume bottles on it and a small vase with white lilies.
Her room was beyond gorgeous, she wouldn't have changed a thing like most teens would have. Sonny was more then grateful and was willing to settle for anything and this wasn't settling to her. This was a gift from God… A blessing that she had been preying for.
Later that night Chads corvette pulled up, revving loudly and Sonny looked out her bedroom window. Her eyes starred down on the quick car that pulled sharply into the garage. Sonny noticed the glowing green behind the garage, realizing it was a pool. A really big pool. She let a breath of nervousness out. She wondered who that was that had pulled up in such a vehicle. She was always told how dangerous those cars could be and that she should never allow herself to get inside.
Sonny turned around, pressing her back against the draperies. She looked at the light in the hallway as she heard the front door close. Small voices came from down the hall and reluctantly took a deep breath and walked out of her room for the first time since she had been at the house.
"Well it's a relief you came home early."
"Oh, shove off." Chad said annoyingly, "What's the big relief?" he asked.
"Have you been drinking?" Mrs. Cooper asked.
"Like that's any of your business." Chad laughed as he turned around to see a gorgeous girl standing on the middle of the stairs looking at him. Her dough like eyes were dark and soft like chocolate. He looked at her face, memorizing every feature, her porcelain skin down to the way her mouth pouted in the most adorable way when it was closed.
Chad turned back around and exhaled loudly as he walked towards the couch and plopped down.
"Lets get this over with… Family time." he smirked. Sarcasticness burning in his voice.
"Sonny, come down here please."
"This is our son, Chad." Chad looked up at Sonny as he leaned back against the couch, with his arm propped up on the back. His eyes tore into hers, causing her to look down.
"Don't be shy." Mrs. Cooper replied, "This is your home now."
"Yeah, welcome… To my home." Chad smirked dangerously towards her, but was aiming the rudeness towards his mother.
"Thank you Chad for your input."
"You're welcome." he smiled.
"Alright, I'll see everyone later." Mr. Cooper said as he walked out the door.
Chad starred after him and turned back to his mother.
"Umm I'm going to go order some pizza for you guys." she said as she walked out of the living room.
Sonny watcher Howard get into a limo that was out front againt through the vertical arched windows that were lined up behind Chad and the white big sofa.
"Are you going to sit." he asked curiously.
"Not with you." she snapped at him and he smirked at her.
"That's a relief" he played back with her.
Sonny, instead took a seat on the love sofa that matched the sofa he was lounging in. There was a black shiny grand piano behind me and there. She wondered if they kept the louvered wooden shutters that were on all four windows. There was yet another beautiful vase of white lilies and it made her wondered yet again, why they were in each room she had been in so far.
"What do you like?" Kathryn walked back in asking, with the phone in her hand.
"Pineapple, please."
"Gross." Chad commented out loud and looked away from her. He reached for the remote and turned on the sixty-four inch flat screen TV that was on the wall. He flipped through the channels until he came to the a preseason football game for the Cowboys and Colts.
Chad had an aching desire to look at Sonny again. He couldn't resist her. She was probably the most prettiest girl he had ever laid eyes on. He watched her, as she watched the screen intently trying to understand the game.
"Do you know Football?" he pointed at the TV with the remote.
"Not really."
"It's fun." he smiled, "Indianapolis or Texas?"
"Neither." he laughed.
"No… that's the teams."
"Oh, I don't know." she said, shaking her head, "Which do you prefer?"
"Cowboys all the way… Texas."
"Oh, okay, then I pick Texas." he just looked at her in a strange way as he let himself smile.
"Chad, I have an issue. Come in the kitchen."
"What, did you dial male service instead of Pizza?"
"Just get your behind in here."
Chad sighed as he got off the couch and went in the kitchen.
"What?"
"I have to leave town Wednesday."
"Tomorrows Tuesday." he eyed her.
"Yes I know."
"You're leaving town? She just got here."
"I know, it's a last minute thing."
"That's just typical."
"Not now Chad."
"No, its never not now. You have no responsibilities do you? You bring a girl home to live with us and then you disappear into another state."
"London." she corrected him.
"Oh, oh that's just better!"
"You'll take care of her then?"
"Are you kidding?" he asked seriously, "What am I suppose to do with her? Stick her in my dressing room for ten hours Monday through Friday?"
"Chad, you are in charge more then you think, take off." he choked out loud.
"Take off work? This is ridiculous."
"Can you drive?" she said sweetly, changing her tone of voice. I turned to see Sonny standing in front of the entrance.
Sonny shook her head no.
"Perfect."
"That's okay, That's okay." Chads here and you can call limo service whenever you want to leave if Chads not here to drive you.
Chad took his eyes off Sonny's appearance, noticing her horribly old clothes and how sloppy she looked and stared down his mother.
"Everything will be okay."
"Have a nice trip."
"You're leaving town?" Sonny asked, with fear in her voice.
Chad rolled his eyes.
"Just for a little while. Business calls."
"Flings." Chad retorted.
"Watch your mouth." Chad laughed out loud.
"You'll have Chad if you need anything."
"Except for the times I'm at work."
"I thought we had that figured out, you were taking off."
"I'm not taking off work, and losing pay for a stranger that my mother dumped on me after inviting her into our home, whom she was to look after."
"This is bad." Sonny stepped backwards, causing Chad to look at her with concern, "I didn't know I was that much trouble." Before either of them could say anything to her she walked out and went upstairs.
"Fix it." she pointed, "I have to go."
"Have a great night." Chad said as she walked past him, "Don't forget to use protection!"
"Shut-up!" she slammed the door.
Chad strutted down the hall trying to think of what to say to get her to feel at home. When he turned to go upstairs and stopped as he saw her walking with her luggage and bag.
"Wha- Wait, where're you going?" he asked holding his hand out slightly.
"I'm leaving."
"No, wait." he stopped her, stepping up the stairs and coming face to face with her. If she had a scent he would have smelled it, and the closeness was overbearing as he saw her bite down on her lower lip.
"Look, you're fine. I'm just- I have problems with my parents, its not you. You don't know them, okay, please stay. I want you too."
She wasn't sure and to be honest he scared her more then she thought he did when she first saw him in the living room.
"Just, give me this and lets go back upstairs." he said softly, almost in a whisper, reaching slowly for her luggage.
She could feel his breath on her face as he leaned in towards her to take the luggage from her hands. Brushing her soft fingers with his, she felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her. Chad on the other hand could feel the intensifying heat coming from her. He knew she was vulnerable and weak she looked but she was stronger then what she looked like.
He hated the idea of her living with him and in his house. How he had to commit himself to taking care of her, in her fragile state of mind. He wasn't even sure what her story was, or why she was in this program What had happened to her family, why was she broken? All he knew was that it was going to take time. Something he wasn't willing to offer to anyone, unless it was for sexual favors and that was only for woman he found acceptable.
PLEASE REVIEW!
It would mean the world to me, and I know this chpater is a bit vague, but it gets better... I swear ;)
Let me know what you think.
I will be flipping back and forth between Chads and Sonnys POV throughout the story. :)
