Sonny's Point of View
"Whoa, Sonny, you look amazing!" James complimented.
"Thanks!" I said, as I got into his car.
"You're actually going to put your seatbelt on?" he asked.
"Of course I am! Aren't you?"
"Of course not. James Conroy doesn't need a seatbelt,"
"Okay, then, whatever."
A few minutes later, he started driving with only one hand.
"James, why are you driving with just your left hand?"
James put his other arm around me. So I can do this… and he leaned in to kiss me.
"James, get off of me, can you just drive please?" I was beginning to regret telling him I'd go to the party with him.
I wish Chad were in the car. He wouldn't let James do that. He wouldn't let any guy do that. In his eyes, there's only one guy that can hurt me, and that's him.
Oh my gosh, what am I saying? Do I actually like Chad that way?
At the party
"Wanna dance?" James asked.
Well, after all, he was my date.
"Umm, sure," I said, hesitantly.
We started dancing for a while, but then I noticed him checking other girls out, especially Jocelyn Payne.
What a jerk. He really hasn't changed at all!
"Hey Sonny, you want to go get some punch for us?"
"Yeah, of course,"
When I walked back with the punch, I saw him and Jocelyn madly making out.
I just set the punch down, and I sat on a couch. I had no idea what to do. He was my ride home, and I really didn't want to ride home with him.
I just started silently crying.
"Sonny, hey, Sonny, what's wrong?" I looked up, and saw a pair of sparkly blue eyes looking at me. Chad.
He immediately knew it had something to do with James.
He pulled me up, and he walked over to James.
"Oh, hey Sonny, Chad," James said, nonchalantly, as if he had done nothing wrong.
Chad pulled James' over to him.
"Listen James, nobody hurts my Sonny. There's only one guy that can make fun of her, make her feel bad, or whatever, and that's me. She gave you a second chance, and you lost it. You better apologize to her right now," Chad glared at James. His sparkly eyes weren't so sparkly anymore.
He called me "his sonny!" maybe he really does like me back!
James walked over to me. He had one arm around Jocelyn.
"Hey sonny, I've still got room for one more girl," he offered, pointing to his free arm.
Chad pushed him.
"Look, man, just APOLOGIZE,"
"Okay, fine, sorry," James said, not really meaning it.
He tried to put his arm around me again, and Chad pulled me away from James.
"Come on, Sonny, we're going home," he said, taking my hand.
His hand felt warm in mine, and I had to admit I liked it. I also realized; I do like Chad. Like like Chad. Snap out of it! I silently yelled at myself, but the little voice in my head kept screaming "You can't deny what the heart wants. The heart wants Chad,"
It would be a 45 minute drive to the hotel, so Chad and I had plenty of time to talk. I couldn't avoid talking to him.
After about 5 minutes of driving, I finally asked the question that had been bugging me.
"Why don't you just go ahead and say it?"
"Say what, Sonny?"
"Just go ahead and say 'I told you so!'"
Now Chad let go of the wheel with one hand, and put the other arm around me. I didn't object. It felt kind of nice.
He pulled over into some restaurant's parking lot. I guess he cared more about safe driving than James. I wouldn't be surprised if he and Jocelyn got in an accident.
"Sonny, I'd never say that at a time like this. I may be a jerk, but I'm not heartless," He sounded a little angry.
"Are you mad?" I asked.
"Yes,"
"About leaving the party early? I'm sorry,"
"It's not your fault, Sonny, and I'm not mad about that, the party was boring anyway. I'm mad at James and every other guy that's ever hurt you. Any guy that's lucky enough to get a girl like you should treat you well- bring you your favorite breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes, when you're sick. Take you out to your favorite restaurant, La Cuisine, on a date. Bring you your favorite flowers- yellow roses, on your birthday. Treat you like something special, because you are something special.
Chad's Point of View
Oh my god. Did I just say all of that out loud?
I looked at Sonny. She didn't look sad anymore. She reached over and pulled me into a hug.
"That may just be the most wonderful thing anyone has ever said to me, Chad. You're an amazing friend," I hugged her back. She was my Sonny. My Sonshine. Nobody's going to hurt my Sonshine.
I think I actually might be falling for her. The little voice in my head started talking again "Ha~ told you so! Now ask her to the party again!"
"Hey, you know, everyone's still at the party. We're only 5 minutes away from it, and there's still another 4 hours of it. We could go back, if you really wanted to," I suggested.
Did I just ask her out?
"Well, that could be fun. And we could make James jealous again- for the 2nd time,"
"So we're on for another fake date, then?"
"Yeah, I guess we are," Sonny said, smiling.
I guess most of you guys noticed I reffered to Madagascar 2 in Chad's outburst about breakfast and yellow roses, etc. :) so far, only one reviewer has noticed that
