A/N: I got the idea for this story from What I Like About You when Vic and Val "accidentally" get married. It's really good; hope you enjoy it!
Damn.
I hate hangovers.
The bright morning light shone through my sky blue silk curtains making my head pound all over again. I wasn't even awake yet, and I could already tell it wasn't going to be a good morning. I pulled the eggshell-white covers over my head and groaned.
Today was the day after my official breakup with James. He was my whole world. We had dated once back when we were at Condor Studios. He was an ass. But after So Random ended, I got a part in a new romance movie called Gone With Me. Of course, James got to play my love interest. But he had matured a lot by then, and we ended up dating again for the whole six months of filming the movie, and we never got into a single fight. Well, other than our on-screen argument scenes, of course. I thought it was the perfect relationship.
And when we were filming the last scene, (the one where his character, Ricky, asks my character, Cici, to marry him) he purposely messed up his line and asked me to marry him instead of Cici. I'd thought that was the sweetest thing ever, so naturally, I said yes. I should've known it was too soon to get married.
Long story short, we went to this fancy hotel in Las Vegas to get married. The preparations were all set and everything. Too bad James chose our wedding night to let me know he had "commitment issues" and couldn't go through with it.
So I handled it like a mature adult. I bailed on the wedding, went to some bar in Vegas and got wasted so I wouldn't feel the heartsplitting pain. I had never acted this impulsively before, and I was definitely regretting it. Oh, and I might have met another guy at the bar. I didn't remember.
I looked at my bathroom door, thinking I heard my shower running. Whatever. I was too tired to go check.
My head started to throb again. I pulled off the covers and brought my hands up to my temples. Suddenly, a sparkle on my hand caught my eye. Figuring it was nothing, (my eyes were barely open) I went back to massaging. The thing on my finger started scraping my forehead.
"Ow!" I moaned. That thing was hard!
I finally managed to pry my eyes open and look at my hand. And let me just say, what I saw could not have shocked me more.
A freaking wedding ring.
I let out a piercing scream.
It was a gorgeous ring, no doubt, but still, a ring.
"Sonny! Are you okay?" Tawni burst in through my bedroom door, hair still perfect even after sleeping on my couch. When So Random had ended, I had practically begged Tawni to share an apartment with me so we could be "roomies." But she'd claimed that she "needed her space," so I ended up getting the apartment next to hers. I groaned. She'd probably stayed at my place tonight just to make sure I was okay. And I definitely wasn't.
"NO!" I screamed. "Just look at this!" I held up my hand.
Tawni's eyes widened.
"I got married!" I wailed.
"But I thought you and James broke up last night!"
"We did! And when you and everyone else was going home from the wedding, I went to a bar and got really drunk with some guy. I don't even know what happened!" I looked around frantically, trying to catch my breath.
Tawni scoffed. "Why is it that when you get drunk, you get a husband, but when I get drunk, I just throw up?"
I couldn't believe her. Was this really a time to joke around?
"Well, at least he didn't come home with me," I grumbled.
"Oh, I think he did!" Tawni grinned and pulled a yellow post-it off my white wooden headboard.
"What's that?" I asked.
She started reading it out loud. "Hey, Sonshine! Crazy night, huh? I'm gonna use your shower, hope you don't mind. –your husband"
"So that's what the noise was," I looked at the bathroom door, kind of panicking.
'My husband?' Really? He couldn't have left a name? And "sonshine?" Come on, who still called me that? Well, James did, once or twice. My palms started to sweat. What if, in some crazy coincidence, it was James? Was he going to beg for my forgiveness? Would I ever be able to forgive him?
Suddenly the shower stopped and goosebumps Brailled up my arms. I quickly sat up in my bed and smoothed my hair down. It probably looked like a rat's nest.
"Who do you think it is?" Tawni whispered, tossing the note on the bed.
"I don't know; I was really drunk!" Wow, that just sounded so unlike me. What was I turning into?
But I really didn't know.
"It's probably someone you know, or used to know, or he wouldn't have called you 'Sonshine,'" Tawni observed.
I had to admit, that was pretty smart for her.
"Yeah, I just wish I knew…" I whispered back. "But all I remember are his eyes…he had the most amazing—"
Suddenly the bathroom door opened revealing a shaggy blond-haired man in his mid-twenties. He looked very toned, even in his business suit. It took me a second to figure out who he was, but I'd know those sparkly blue eyes and that cocky grin anywhere. This was none other than Chad Dylan Cooper. Everything about this guy I'd tried to forget was coming back to me like the memories of an old crush when you heard a Taylor Swift song.
Tawni and I gasped in union. Chad just smirked. I remembered how he used to infuriate me with that smirk. It was all coming back to me. Had it really been five years since I'd seen this guy?
"Hey Tawni, long time, no see!" he chuckled. "I'm back from Paris! Oh, did Sonny tell you we got married?" He somehow seemed to find this amusing. "Well, I got a meeting with my agent now, so I'll let you two catch up. Feel free to talk about me while I'm gone," he said it like I was some schoolgirl who just couldn't wait to gush to my BFF about my first date.
"See ya later, wife." He winked at me and strolled out, closing the door behind him.
I was just so stunned I couldn't even speak. Tawni seemed to be in the same condition.
I couldn't believe it. I had married Chad, of all people. And he said he'd be back.
This was not going to end well.
A/N: so yeah, sorry there's not enough Chad in this chapter. And I know Sonny's a bit out of character. But what did u guys think? Should I continue this? Review!
Oh and just to throw it out there, I saw Falling For the Falls yesterday, and it was probably the best thing to come on Disney, like EVER. What'd you guys think?
