SPOV

That arrogant self-centered snob! I stormed to Chad's room angry enough to punch a hole in the wall. How dare he! When I reached his door, I didn't even bother to knock I marched right in.

"CHAD DYLAN COOPER YOU ARE THE MOST OBNOXIOUS SELF CENTERED HUMAN BEING I HAVE EVER MET! I screamed. Chad turned his chair around slowly and pinned me with one of his more arrogant stares. The sight of him sitting their smirking at me made me even more furious.

"And you are the biggest diva I have ever met. Now will you please tell me why you felt the need to storm into my room, yelling like a maniac?" I glared at him. The calm way he said it made me want to rip all his hair out.

"You know exactly what you did Cooper." I spat at him. "You sabotaged my date!" Just thinking about the call I had received from Ethan, a boy who I have had a crush on for ages, telling me how after his talk with Chad he could never date me, bros code and all that. All of the anger and embarrassment came rushing back and I had to restrain myself from causing Chad bodily harm. Chad rolled his eyes

"I would hardly call it sabotaging, please Sonny I was just helping you"

"Helping me what? Do you know how long I have waited for Ethan to ask me out? Five months! Five months that has all gone to waste because of you! What is with you Chad? Is it your goal in life to make me hate you? If it is good because you've succeeded" His head snapped up and he got out of his chair and stalked towards me, never once taking his gaze from my face.

"You could never hate me Monroe and you know it" He bit out, I let out a cold harsh laugh

"Why'd you do it Chad? What did you have to gain from this? Why do you always have to mess with my life? Me and Ethan could have been on our date right now happy and-" Chad cut me off with a frustrated growl

"He had no right to ask you out!" He was right in front of me now. I tried to step back but I was backed against a wall. Chad reached out and put his hands on either side of my head, caging me in. I met his glare head on, refusing to back down.

"He had every right to ask me out! I don't belong to you Chad" I tried to ignore how close he was and what it was doing to me. Chad laughed.

"Yes you do, for the past two years I've known you, you have belonged to me. I know because I have belonged to you to." And he crushed his lips to mine. I stiffened in shock at first unable to believe that this was happening. My heart sped up and my breath left me, my brain was working to remind me of why I was there to begin with and I weakly tried summon the anger back to push him away and strengthen my resolve, but then I was caught up in his smell and his taste and god the way his lips moved. Before I even fully knew what I was doing I had my arms around Chad's neck, fingers curled in his hair and was kissing him back with everything I had in me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him, deeping the kiss. I felt it all the way from my head to my toes. Man did this boy know how to kiss, this was like nothing I have ever felt, it felt right, good, like he was the only man meant for me. Somewhere in my mind I registered that he was right, my heart did belong to him, it always had, I had tried to ignore it tried to push it away but it was always there, this bone deep need to be with Chad. I almost laughed, ever since our fake date my heart had known that it was in love with him, it had just taken my brain awhile to catch up. Chad pulled away from me and buried his face in my hair, we were both breathing hard with not an inch of space between us; not that I was complaining. He pulled back enough that he could look me in the eye, his hand lazily tracing my cheekbone, he smiled down at me.

"We belong together Monroe, whether you like it or not, and I refuse to let you go on pretending like this doesn't exist between us. I can't stand by and let another man date you before we at least give this, give us, a shot" I was momentarily stuck, I didn't know if I should slap him for his arrogance or melt at his feet. "How can you date Ethan when you love me?" I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to say, I had just come to the realization myself that I was in love with him and now he wanted conformation? I took a few breaths and I could tell that the delay wasn't sitting well with him. "You do love me don't you?" A pained uncertain look came across his face and I knew that I couldn't leave him hanging in the moment like this, he had sounded so nervous like I'd break his heart if I said no, I couldn't do that to him. Whatever my fears I knew that hurting him was no longer an option for me. So I smiled, leaned up and brushed my lips across his and told him the truth

"Yes I love you, you arrogant jerk. I don't know why or how it happened but I do" Another look came across his face, but it was gone so fast I couldn't read it. He smiled and leaned down to kiss me again. When we finally broke apart, he told me to go get my coat, that after he finished up he would meet me at my dressing room and drive me home, after he took me out to dinner. I was so happy I skipped to my room and grabbed my coat and bag. I impatiently waited for about five seconds before I couldn't stand it any longer and started walking back to his room, who would have thought, me and Chad a couple. I laughed to myself, actually now that I think about it, the whole studio has probably been betting on us since the beginning. The thought made me grin. I was still smiling when I got to his room; I was about to push open the door when I saw that Chad was talking on the phone. I hesitated, maybe I should go wait in my dressing room, I was about to turn away when I heard my name.

"Man I can't believe I got Sonny to say it and in less than three days! I am the man!" I heard Chad say. What was he talking about? He laughed and responded on the phone

"I know I know you can hold your applause now pay up. I'm going to need money to take Sonny out to night." He chuckled and I leaned in slightly, pushing the door more ajar, it sounded like he was gloating

"O.k. Come over and give me half of it now and the rest later after I complete the rest of our bet," He smiled "and that part should be a lot of fun" He laughed again before hanging up the phone. I started to feel sick to my stomach. What the hell was that all about? I had my hand on the door about to storm in and demand answers once again when I heard a female voice.

"Finally! Now will you come over here and pay me some attention?" Portlyn whined in her annoying high pitched nasally voice. Man for her sake and the good of mankind I pray that she doesn't talk like that forever. I peeked around the corner again and saw that Portlyn was right in front of Chad, hanging on to his jacket and smiling up at him.

"Sorry can't I got a hot date" He smiled and started to back away, but Portlyn hung on

"Oh please you know she's just a bet. Plus you love my right? Or is Sonny taking over my place in your heart?" She batted her eyelashes and started to pout. Just a bet? My hand rose up to my chest as if it could stop every word I was hearing from breaking my heart into tinier and tinier pieces. I waited to hear Chad's response, hoping praying that this was all a mistake. That he loved me and wasn't using me.

"Portlyn you know there is always a special place in my heart for you and no one can take that away" Portlyn smiled and leaned up and kissed him. I covered my mouth to stop from gagging. I turned and fled no longer able to stand and watch as the man I loved kissed another girl. Tears fell down my face as I ran out of the building and down the street not caring where I was running too as long as I could get as far away from Chad as possible. I ran and ran and ran crying so hard that I tripped and fell and scrapped my knees on the sidewalk, I got up and limped to the closest bench and got out my cell phone to call for a cab. After I hung up the phone I continued to cry tears of hurt, anger, embarrassment and pain. I tried to pull myself together, I told myself that Chad was scum and I was a fool to love him, I told myself that I was better off without him and that there was plenty more fish in the sea. I told myself countless things but none of them seemed to be able to stop the tears from falling. On the way home in the back of the cab I couldn't help but remember our kiss, it had felt so real, so perfect. As I replayed it scene by scene in my mind I finally placed the look I saw on Chad's face after I had told him I loved him.

It was a look of a man who had gotten what he wanted

It was a look of satisfaction.

And the tears continued to roll down my face.
