Sonny walked in the door to Chad's place. Chad had set up a romantic meal in the kitchen, candles, flowers, and music. Sonny was wearing a purple dress, matching a new streak of purple that ran through the middle of her hair. It wasn't much, just a barely noticeable highlight.

"Chad," Sonny called out when she entered.

"I'm in the kitchen," he replied.

Sonny walked into the kitchen and saw Chad putting two plates of pasta down on the table.

"Oh, Chad," Sonny said. "It's beautiful."

Chad walked over and kissed Sonny.

"I know it's corny, but not nearly as beautiful as you."

Sonny giggled. Chad ran his hand through her hair and noticed the dark purple streak.

"What's this?" he asked.

"Its part of the news I had to tell you," she replied.

"Well, sit down, we'll eat and talk."

Both were enjoying the food as Sonny explained what happened that day.

"I was talking with my agent," Sonny explained. "He thinks the purple streak gives me a bit of an edge that matches my new sound."

A year ago Sonny had left So Random to pursue her dream of being a singer-songwriter. She always thanked So Random for giving her a start. After all, it's where she had her first live performance. When people saw her perform "Me, myself, and time," she was flooded with calls from agents and record companies that wanted her to work with them.

She quickly put out her debut album, Sonny Monore, which sold quite well. She was in the process of putting the final touches on her new album, which would be released soon.

Meanwhile, Chad had begun working on movies. Mackenzie Falls had finally run out of ideas for the show, which seemed hard to believe at the time. So far, he had only gotten small parts. Chad and Sonny didn't see as much of each other as they wanted to, but they still tried to have a date every now and then.

"Edgy new sound?" Chad asked. "When did this happen?"

"Well, I'm getting older. So I just think it's me and my music maturing."

"I'm just glad you're still as happy as you are when you started." Chad raised his glass. "To your new sound."

Sonny chinked her glass against Chad's.

"Thank you. How have you been doing?"

"Well, I have an audition tomorrow, but I have done something with some of my free time."

"Oh, what's that?"

"If it's not too far away from your new sound, I wrote a song I think could duet on."

"You wrote a song?" Sonny was surprised.

"Yeah, I've been known to dabble."

Sonny laughed at that.

"What's so funny?"

"That just reminds of Trey Brothers. He didn't like dabblers."

"Yeah, I remember that guy," Chad said, a little angrily. "He stole all my ideas. I wonder how much longer Mackenzie Falls could have lasted with that vampire idea."

"Trust me that was not going to help anything. But I would love to duet with you. I have a release party tomorrow. I'm trying to get the whole gang back together."

"That should be fun."

Chad put his hand on Sonny's and used the remote to turn the music back on. He had selected "Secret Garden" by Bruce Springsteen.

"I love this song," Sonny said.

"Let's dance, Sonny." Chad picked up Sonny's hand and helped her out of her seat. They danced slowly in the kitchen, just enjoying being next to each other.

"I miss you when you're not around, Sonny."

"I miss you, too, Chad."

When the song ended, Chad took Sonny's hand and led her up the stairs. The bed was covered with rose pedals.

"Wow, Chad. I didn't know you were such a romantic."

"It's been a while since we've had a romantic evening, let alone a date, so I figured we could have one tonight."

Chad and Sonny kissed. Chad moved down towards Sonny's neck, to a spot along her jaw he had discovered a while back that Sonny really liked. Chad unzipped Sonny's dress and let it fall to the floor.

"You like," Sonny said. "It was a surprise for you." And what a surprise is was. Sonny wasn't wearing anything underneath her dress.

"Wow…I don't…wow," Chad stammered, completely shocked.

"It's not often I can leave you speechless," Sonny said, unbuttoning Chad's shirt so she could kiss his chest. Chad snapped back into the moment and let his hands roam over Sonny's body.

"I really miss you, Sonny," Chad confessed.

"Then let's not waste anymore time," Sonny replied. She unbuttoned his pants and took them and his underwear off. She stroked Chad a few times before kissing him again. Sonny pulled Chad closer to her as she fell to the bed, taking Chad with her.

Chad slid his cock inside of her and started building a rhythm, slow and steady. Sonny was moaning with pleasure. She loved Chad and loved Chad being insider of her. She could just be herself around Chad. She ran her hands all over his back.

Chad kissed Sonny, battling with her tongue. They had to break to breathe. Chad slowed his thrusting, so he could move to work on Sonny's breasts. He sucked and licked on her nipples, running over the hard points they had become.

Sonny ran her hands over Chad's chest. She loved how firm it was. Sonny felt herself tumbling towards the edge as Chad began pounding her fast and hard.

"Oh Chad," Sonny moaned as she went over the edge into orgasm. Sonny dug her nails in his back. Chad followed behind her. He laid next to her, thinking to himself. Chad was happy, as happy as he had been in a long time.

"I love you, Sonny," he told her. "I really do."

"I love you, Chad," Sonny replied.
