Sonny sat at her kitchen table, half awake, enjoying her ham sandwich. Chloe, her best friend since grade school, walked in. They shared an apartment and divided the rent. Chloe was still in college, training to be a vet. Sonny took over her uncle's plumbing business, while trying to become a singer on the side. Long story short: it wasn't working out.
"What are you doing up so early?"
"It's almost 9:00" Sonny motioned towards the digital clock on their microwave."
"Oh, right. Chad. I swear, you're like his personal plumber! You've even got his number on your top 5!"
"It's cheaper." Was her only reply.
"Can I have it?"
Sonny ignored her, watching the time switch from 8:59 to 9:00 instead. She mentally prepared herself for the phone to ring. And five, four, three, two, one.
"MOOOOOOOO"
She sighed. "Duty calls..."
"Have fun." Chloe tried a sheepish grin.
"I'll try." Sonny picked up her cell, "Good morning, Chad."
"All refrigerators make that noise. It means they're working."
Chad gave sonny a funny look. "Well, then why don't any of my other ones make that sound?"
"Alright. Show me." Sonny followed Chad into his second kitchen. She studied the fridge...and began to laugh. "Maybe because they're not plugged in."
"What?" He opened it up and was greeted by the stench of rotting food.
"Ew. That's gross." Sonny plugged her nose. "We have to throw all this away."
It took them about an hour to get the whole mess out of all four of his fridges. Then Sonny cleaned them all while Chad stood there like a statue, watching her work. When she was finished, Chad racked his brain for any other excuse to make her stay. He was lonely and he felt comfortable with her around. Besides, he had fun driving her crazy. "Since you're done with that, I can show you the real reason I called you."
Sonny waited for him to continue. When he didn't say anything, She asked, "So...what is it?"
Chad smiled, "What's what?"
"What is it that you really need fixed. What is it you called me for?" Sonny was getting a tad irritated. She was working for a moron! She had just spent several hours cleaning out his fridge, which was definitely not in her job description the last time she checked. Now he forgot the reason he called her over? Did he even have a reason?
"Uh, well, my showers. They need to be replaced."
He's kidding, right? Apparently not. "You know you can do that yourself...go to the store, buy a..."
"But I don't want to go outside that front door. I don't want to get out of this house. I can't stand the camera flashes, and the screaming girls..."
"Yeah, right."
"Okay...maybe I like the girls... but signing autographs and having them scream in my face... I just can't..." Chad took Sonny's hands into his and stared into her eyes. 'Please do this for me."
Sonny felt penetrated by his gaze. She knew if she didn't say something fast, she would be caught in his trance. Boy, he was good. Of course he was. He's an actor. "Fine." She gave in. "But only because you're paying me."
Sonny stepped back to admire her work. Perfect. She had completely redone the whole bathroom. The counters, the toilet, shower, and even the wallpaper. "Three done, four to go." Sonny inhaled deeply. "I should not be doing this."
"Wow, Munroe. Very nice."
Sonny turned around, startled. Chad was leaning against the doorway. "Chad! I didn't see you standing there."
"I just came over to tell you that you should probably call it a day, seeing how it's almost 11:00 pm."
"Oh my gosh...are you serious?" Sonny took out her cell phone to double check. Chloe had sent her about a million texts asking where she was and if she was alright. "I had no idea it was this late!" How was she ever going to find her way back home in the dark? She had to use her GPS in the daytime even after coming here every day for the past three weeks.
"I'm sorry." Chad straightened up. "I was going to tell you earlier, but you looked like you were so into your work...I didn't want to stop you..."
"It's fine." Liar. This was not fine. This was not fine at all! "I guess I'll just have to spend the night here."
"Really?" He looked hopeful. Too hopeful. "I mean...why?"
"Cuz if I go out there, I'll get lost." She was wishing that she never took this job to begin with. "Now, do you have any extra beds? What am I saying? I'm in a mansion...of course there's extra beds."
"Hey...this place isn't that big." Chad defended.
"Oh yeah? This place is bigger than my whole apartments building!" Sonny took a deep breath. This guy wasn't worth it. He couldn't even keep his refrigerator running. "Okay. Sorry. I'm just very irritable at the moment. I'll just text my roommate and then you can show me where I can sleep."
*Beep Beep*
Chloe snatched up her cell. Finally! A text from Sonny!
-Dnt wait up 4 me. im fine. staying Chad's. Explain later.
"Oh, Sonny! Why do you do this to me?" Chloe quickly wrote a reply.
-Be careful! Dont do anything stupid!
oh oh! the plot thickens!
Sorry...Just had to say it.
I hope this was a better chapter... please review. Tell me how I'm doing. I'd like to know if I should continue. Lots more channy in the next chappy! ((okay...that just sounds stupid...but i'll leave it anyway!))
