Little surprises can make a big difference in life. Me (Knarren-k-spirit)

He looked at her speechlessly.

Sonny could feel tears of humiliation to splash down her face with the mascara as she continued to look at the floor avoiding eye contact with him.

"Well, I guess I was wrong about your poise."

Sonny switched her eyes to Chad who was smiling a warm smile.

"Call me cocky but I kind of expected you to be doing what your friend Lucy was doing at my party."

Sonny chuckled at that "We both might as kooky as each other but you'll never catch me dancing like her!"

Chad grinned, "I'm glad to here, I never thought you of all people would do a perfect ballroom dance." He whispered wiping away the tears.

"Why are you crying?"

Sonny swallowed.

"I was scared of...of..."

"Of what?"

"Of..."

A bright light shone down from a helicopter, making both of the jump with shock.

"Oh great, paparazzi!" Chad grunted.

He grabbed Sonny's hand and led her down the stairs of the balcony and into a little alcove as they watched the search light blindly searching for celebrities.

The two both noticed raindrops splashing on the stone floor. Sonny shivered.

"Here," Said Chad taking of his jacket and wrapping it around her shoulders.

"Thanks,"

"You're welcome, and Sonny what I said the other day, I didn't mean it, I have to keep up this better than you attitude or else I'll be off the show."

Sonny felt her mouth drop. "Why?"

"It's my Uncle. My mom sent me to live him hoping to give me a better life. My dad died when I was four and by the time I was fourteen I had to move in with him because my mum was struggling with work. She's a dancer."

"What's wrong with that?"

"She's an exotic dancer."

"Oh. Continue."

"I knew I needed to help her so when I got the part for Mackenzie Falls, I send most of my wages to mom. My Uncle is a bigger jerk than I am, he doesn't help anyone but himself."

"Chad, I had no idea."

"Nobody does. He has Mr. Condor check security on me to make sure I turn out like him. It's a nightmare. If I don't keep it up my mom will be in liability."

Sonny shook her head, without thinking she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tight. "I never knew...about that, Chad. I feel rotten thinking that you were some arrogant jerk."

Chad wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head.

"Don't. You didn't know. But don't tell anyone else, okay? My uncle will kill me, literally." Chad's voice was a cracked whisper.

Sonny knew a way to sort it. Stealing her courage she went on tip toe and kissed him in the cheek.

She giggled when she saw his eyes widen and his cheeks go rhubarb red.

"You look so cute when you blush." She whispered.

"I think you're cute when you're speechless."

Sonny was confused but not for long when Chad captured his lips with hers.

Both of his arms were around her waist and hers were around his neck as she returned the kiss.

When they both parted, Sonny had her head on his chest with his face nuzzled in her hair.

"Chad?"

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

He didn't hesitate. "Yes,"

"Tell me, do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me?"

He smiled, "Yes."

She smiled, "I love you."

Chad pulled Sonny to the bench inside the alcove, on to his lap. After awhile the two fell asleep, their cast mates unaware where they were.

The End.

This is nothing special. It just came to me when I was day dreaming.
