A/N
Hey guys… thank you so much for your reviews on the last chapter. I loved them like always. Um… again nothing important. ENJOY!
JUST BECAUSE YOU REVIEWED LIKE HELL! I KEEP MY PROMISE!
CHAD POV
It's not like there was a special reason I felt confused over things. I had kissed Sonny and she walked away. I didn't know if that meant she was upset or if she was happy or if she was just as confused as I was. I didn't have any classes this morning so I purposely woke up to take Sonny to school. I wanted to talk to her. She hasn't spoken to me in two days and she hasn't exactly been around. It's like she stopped coming outside unless it was to go to school or come home. I leaned on my car and waited for her to come out. When she did she turned her head to me and gave a small wave. I motioned for her to come over. Sonny stood in front of me with her hands on her bag straps.
"Let me give you a ride..."
"Nah, I'm gonna walk. Thanks though" She turned around
"Sonshine…"
"I'm fine with walking, Chad"
"Sonny, get in the car" I said again before opening the car door. She sighed heavily and pulled her bag off of her shoulders, getting into the car. I closed the door and walked around to the driver's side and got in. The first part of the ride was quiet, no words were exchanged. I pulled up a block away from the school and parked the car.
"Why'd you stop?"
"You haven't spoken to me in two days..."
"Yeah, I um... I've been busy" She just kept her eyes down on her hands
"With what? If you don't mind me asking..."
"School... lots of school work"
"About what happened... I don't really know what to say about it that much. I mean, I know we have this six year age gap and all and it shouldn't have happened but it did"
"I know that's it's a platonic relationship. I get it"
"Yeah, I wasn't finished but you rudely-"
"So what were you going to say?" She turned her head to me and quirked an eyebrow "That you and I can't be together? Yeah, I got that"
"Sonny" I tried
"You're too old for me? I got that too" She just kept going
"Sonn-"
"You're friends would give you hell for it? Yeah, I understand that"
"I-"
"Don't you remember that I have a boyfriend and that just because he's not here doesn't mean I'm free to cheat" She just kept going, rambling so I couldn't get a word in. I rolled my eyes and clenched my jaw.
"Sonny…"
"I understand everything that you're tr-" I leaned over and kissed her. I cupped her face softly, her fingers wrapping around my wrist. She kissed back after the shock of it. Her lips were so soft and she smelled like vanilla. She pulled back slowly while I stroked her cheekbone with my thumb.
"It was just a kiss, Monroe. It meant nothing..." I looked into her brown eyes and exhaled. She chewed on her bottom lip, her body becoming tense.
"I have… Michael and you have… whoever you have" She spat rudely "Which apparently is no one. So why do you keep coming to me and kissing me, huh?"
"I needed to do something to get you to stop talking"
"Oh my god, you're such an… ass"
"Wow, you're acting like a brat" I chuckled "You act like you've never been kissed before"
"I'm not acting like a brat. I'm stating facts" I leaned my head back on the headrest and closed my eyes. I'm getting a headache "I can't believe that meant nothing if you just kissed me again"
"Fuck, Sonny… it didn't mean anything. A kiss is a kiss. It happened- which wasn't supposed to- and then it's over."
"If it wasn't supposed happen, why'd you do it?"
"I was bored... and you're talking way too much for my liking"
"What?" She exclaimed unbelievably.
"Shut up" I simply told her "If you're not going to be quiet since I now have a headache you can walk your ass to school" Then I heard my car door slam. I opened my eyes and watched Sonny storm off in the direction her school was in. I rolled my eyes and started up my car, making a U-turn to head back to my home.
SONNY POV
I hate him!
"Hey, who's that guy you were in the car with earlier?" Penelope came up to me with a cup that read Starbucks on it just like the one in her hand. She handed it to me and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What is this?" I asked her
"That is a double chocolate chip frappuccino from Starbucks" I sipped it through the straw and hummed in appreciation
"Thanks..." I took another sip and we started walking up the steps of the school. "My neighbor I told you about remember? He's friends with Daniels brother"
"Oh yeah..." She drawled out "So, I want to show you this place after school. They have amazing skirts and dresses. No one really knows about it but all their stuff is so cute"
"Yeah, alright"
"Oh, you know Tawni right?" She turned to me when we walked through the school doors "Tawni Hart?"
"Yeah... she's the really pretty blonde girl. What about her?"
"She's not that pretty but she's been talking about you"
"So what…" I shrugged, drinking what was in the cup while she was talking.
"So what? She can ruin your life at this school. She called you easy because you pulled up on the first day with a car full of guys" I chuckled and looked at her.
"Easy as in like a slut?"
"Mhm"
"I don't think a virgin could be easy, Pen"
"Wait... you're pure?" She exclaimed, making a few people turn their heads. I clamped my hand over her mouth quickly. I waited a couple of seconds to remove it "You're untouched? But you're gorgeous!" She whispered hastily and pulled me to her locker "Why are you still a virgin? Is it by choice?" She asked lowly while putting in her combination
"Yes, it's by choice"
"Why? A girl like you probably has plenty of options"
"I'm scared to lose it"
"Scared of what?"
"It's gonna hurt..." I muttered. She started laughing and I nudged her softly. She laughed a little more, making me a little mad.
"It's not funny"
"Okay, okay sorry. But seriously... I'm not saying you have to have sex but you're crazy pretty. How have you not gotten a boyfriend and had... relations?"
"I haven't found someone I love" I stated simply
"Oh... you're one of those old school girls. I gotcha"
"Yeah... I take it you've done some things" I assumed, my cup was halfway empty.
"Well, I'm not a virgin but I'm not very... experienced" She sighed "Obviously the blondes run this male population not giving us any play with the guys"
"That can't be true"
"Yes, it is. Tawni is like the head blonde" Pen said "I hate the bitch"
"What? Why?"
"She stole my boyfriend, Nico, from me with her blonde hair and nylons and ugh..." I smiled as she faked gagging noises "One day... I'm just going to take a scissor and just snip it off"
"That's mean, Penelope" I laughed and started toward my locker. She walked with me joking about something that happened in her gym class. I laughed at how theatrical she was.
CHAD POV
"Why are you pressing me?" Bryce asked over the pool table in the student hall of Stanford's campus.
"Well, you and Audrey are getting pretty cozy" I hit the cue ball into the eight ball and it rolled right into the pocket "I win again. Rack em up"
"She and I aren't cozy, Chad. We like being around each other. She's cool"
"Huh, that sounds pretty cozy to me, my friend" I chuckled while he formed the balls in a tight triangle. I took a swig of my beer and shook my head "You're in denial"
"There's no denial. You like being around, Sonny but you don't like her"
"She's sixteen. I'm not supposed to like her" I don't like her. She's sixteen which is a hint for very naïve.
"That doesn't mean you can't like her. You just can't do anything with her because you'll go to jail. Then some guy will like you..."
"You're disgusting" I frowned "Seriously, invite Audrey"
"No"
"You're being a bitch. You don't want other guys hitting on her. That's what it is"
"No that's not why I'm not inviting her, you idiot" He snapped "Invite, Sonny then"
"She's sixteen. Drugs and alcohol would be a bad influence on her"
"I guarantee you that Sonny had gotten drunk before. Girls with over protective fathers are always the first to lash out. Especially girls with cops for dads. They lash out quick"
"No. I'm not asking her to go" I responded "I don't want her there"
"Fine... I'll ask her later"
"Is that a hint that you're raiding my house?" I watched him break and roll a stripe into the pocket
"It's not a hint. It's a cold fact"
"Why do you think her relationship works out with her boyfriend?" I asked suddenly
"She's hot"
"Besides that…" I leaned over with the pool cue and set up a shot.
"She's nice and she's very pretty and fun to be around. Plus, the guy might be waiting for her to give him something"
"Something like?" Damn, the cue ball rolled into the pocket after a solid. I scratched.
"Sex" He simply stated. I nodded slowly and leaned on the pool table.
"Sex doesn't keep people together… most of the time"
"Not just any sex, my friend. Virginal sex"
"How do we know Sonny is a virgin?" I scrunched my brows together and shrugged heavily "Sonny might not be a virgin"
"She is. Everything about her reads virginal. It's kind of obvious. If you ask her and she blushes then she's a virgin. Then let's really think about it… her dads a cop, she has an older brother with an older friend. She's never really alone to do anything"
"Mm…" She could've lost it in the back of a car or his house if she lied to her parents about coming home from school late because she had to work on a project. If Sonny lied.
"You're asking that because you like her" He then said
"I don't like her"
"Whatever floats your boat, bro"
SONNY POV
"Jake, this is Penelope…"
"Hi…" Penelope smiled and waved to my brother. He greeted her back kindly and waved. She had that dazed look in her eye that made him grin and feel good about himself. Great, Penelope fell for his looks too.
"We're going to go to my room now and… do whatever" I grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs. She laughed the entire way up and collapsed on my bed.
"Your brother is gorgeous. How did he get like that? Was he always that cute?"
"Yeah, he's not a bad looking guy" A soft knock at the door was followed by Penelope sitting up and Derek opening it. She damn near drooled because he just had on sweatpants and no shirt. I looked at Penelope then back at Derek and scoffed loudly. Derek was the type of guy that hit the gym every three days to stay in shape. His abs were toned beyond anything. A six pack to be more exact "Where's your shirt? You're distracting my friend"
"Sorry…" He chuckled and quirked an eyebrow near Pen "I'm Derek…"
"I-I'm P-Pe…"
"Penelope…" I drawled out, finishing for her. She nodded and waved shyly. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. "What do you want?"
"Your iPod radio…" He motioned to the Bose radio that was on my nightstand. I went over to it and unplugged it before shoving it into his chest and pushing him out of the doorway "Your friends staring is flattering" He teased low enough so she wouldn't hear.
"Shut up and get out" I laughed and slammed the door "You're drooling"
"I'm such a stupid idiot. I couldn't even say my own name" She scolded herself. I snickered and patted the top of her head "It's not fair! You live with two hot guys"
"It's not like I have a choice"
"Derek isn't your brother, right?"
"Nope"
"So it's okay if…"
"He's twenty three"
"Damn" She hissed.
"How old did you think he was!" I exclaimed in the middle of a laugh. She just shook her head and sighed.
"I hate being underage, you can't do anything"
"I feel your pain. Trust me…" I pulled off the schools sweater vest and dropped it on the desk while she got up and made her way to the balcony doors. She opened them both and stood outside, looking out into the backyard.
"It's cool how you have a balcony. You could get your boyfriend up here with no problem"
"If my boyfriend was in California… but he's not"
"Oh, that sucks"
"Yeah…"
"I like your trampoline too. We'll have to use that the day I don't have on a skirt"
"Mhm"
"I meant to ask you… what is that ring on your finger; on your left hand? You aren't married, are you?"
"No… it's a um… it's a purity ring"
"Oh my god!" She screamed out, making me jump fiercely and snap my head to her "You have a-" I ran out the door and slapped my hand over her mouth. I pulled her inside and shushed her. Once I removed my hand, she smiled like a kid on Christmas. "You're so old school. A purity ring?"
"My father and Jake gave it to me as a gift when I turned fourteen"
"Wow, it says 'True Love Waits' how cheesy" She giggled and placed both her hands on my shoulders. She's so hyper about everything. I love it. "I should get one but I'm not a virgin"
"That sucks"
"You're like a unicorn or some shit. You're rare. Do you know how hard it is to find a virgin in our school?" She patted my head. I laughed loudly. Did she just say I was like a unicorn?
"I feel like you're belittling me"
"No, I'm not. I swear I'm not"
CHAD POV
Sonny was home from school because one of the friends she made was standing out on the balcony. I would call her down but I'm trying to keep it discreet that she and I did kiss and she has feelings for me. It was kind of obvious but I like what she doesn't. She lacks what I need.
"I need a DJ" James said aloud, running his fingers through his hair "I can't hire the one I had last time. He got arrested"
"For what?" Grady asked
"Stolen equipment" I started laughing
"You harbored a con?" I teased him and looked over to the balcony once more
"Is Sonny home? I want to ask her something" Bryce asked me. I nodded and pointed over to her house. He took a gulp of his soda "So, how long did your DJ get?"
"Two years"
"Shouldn't Bryce invite Audrey?" I suddenly said. He threw his empty water bottle at me and told me to shut up. I laughed loudly and shook my head "Seriously, shouldn't he?"
"Yeah, she's your friend" Grady slapped his chest "A very close friend that you… know"
"I hate you both right now, truthfully" He sat up and placed his hands on the table "I'm not inviting her because she and I had an argument and we aren't speaking to each other"
"Why are you fighting with your lover? Is it because she started liking someone else and you got jealous?" I tried. He flipped me off and deadpanned a laugh. I lit a cigarette and took a normal drag, breathing smoke from my nose.
"No, Chad. That's not why…" He glared at me "She…"
"She's… been faking orgasms?" James blurted out. My laughing made my sides hurt and I couldn't breathe at all. Bryce couldn't help but laugh because we were all laughing at him "Seriously, why are you fighting?"
"She wants more… and I don't"
"More as in a relationship?" I asked. When he nodded, I shook my head and shrugged "So what?"
"So what? I'm twenty two. I don't want a relationship. I want sex"
"And does she do that with you?" Grady asked. I inhaled from the stick again and kept the smoke before breathing out once more.
"Yes…"
"So you could have that and a girlfriend. It's a win-win" James spat at him "You're stupid, Bryce. You can have a girl and nonstop sex but you're being an idiot"
"Oh my god!" The girl that was leaning on Sonny's balcony gasped, facing the door "You have a-" Sonny flew out of the balcony and clamped her hand over the girls mouth. I furrowed my eyebrows and snickered. Sonny pulled the girl in the room and closed the balcony doors. If I didn't know Sonny, it would look like abduction.
"What was that?" James chuckled and looked at me. I shrugged again "Yo, Sonny!" He screamed out to her. When we didn't receive an answer, James got up and walked up to the fence. I tapped the ash from my cigarette "Sonny!" He yelled again.
"Sonny's going to have to take a message, she'll be right with you in about… five minutes" Her friend stuck her head out from behind the door and gave a smile. James turned around and retook his seat. Ten minutes later, Sonny walked into the back yard in a pair of really baggy grey sweats and a tight black tank top. Sonny truly has an hour glass shape. You can see it clearly in this. Wait… where did her friend go?
"What's the reason you're screaming my name?" She stopped at the farthest away from me and put her hands in her pockets.
"Would your dad let you go to a party?" Bryce asked. I glared at him, shaking my head. He held his hands up defensively.
"It depends on what kind of party it is…" She replied, walking around the chairs and over to me. She took the cigarette from my fingers and tossed it on the ground before stepping on it. Why does she do that? I clenched tapped out another cigarette.
"It's James' party. There's no reason for it though…"
"He wouldn't let me"
"Why not?" Grady looked at her. Even though she's in my backyard, she won't look at me. Even with her attempt to get me to stop smoking.
"A bunch of drinking older guys, he'd kill me" She cocked her head and folded her arms "Why do you guys sit here and call me over every afternoon. You're in your twenties. I figured you'd be going to a party…"
"No, whoever gave you a false perception is stupid…" They told her in an overload of answers.
"Hm, sounds boring"
"Don't you have homework?" I spat
"Don't you?" She retorted, still not looking at me. I shook my head and ran my tongue on my cheek. She started backing away from us towards the door. "Is that all you guys wanted?"
"No… um… what was that chick yelling about?" James pointed to her house.
"Her name is Penelope"
"What was Penelope yelling about that you had to pull her into the house?" She inhaled and pushed her hair behind her ears.
"Nothing exciting, honestly" She was lying and for some reason I could tell that she was and that she grew a little uncomfortable. After this morning, I didn't expect her to say two words to me. "Later…" She dismissed herself from us and went back over to her house. I want her in my bed so bad…
"She sounded mad" Bryce stated. She probably is.
SONNY POV
"Hello?"
"I miss you…" Michael breathed out over the phone. I smiled and ran my fingers through my hair
"I miss you too…" I can't tell him I kissed Chad. I can't tell anyone. Jake would kill me, then my dad and then Michael. If Chad wasn't such a… jerk, this would be hard but one minute Chad could be cool and the next he'll be a douchebag. "I kinda miss Wisconsin"
"Do you miss the cheese?"
"Yes" I exclaimed "Please send me some" I heard him laugh loud "I'm not kidding"
"What's your address?" I slowly said my address as he said he was writing it down "Is it nice in L.A?"
"Yeah, it's very warm and so far everyone I met is nice"
"That's good. You'll make friends with everyone because you're Sonny"
"That's not true. There's already a rumor about me"
"You're so famous" He taunted. I chuckled and leaned back in my desk chair.
"Yeah, okay" I spat out sarcastically with a grin "It'll be you making it into the NBA so you have to remember me when you get famous" Michael is a complete nerd type guy. He's very hot though. You wouldn't expect a guy who's in honors, has loads of volunteer hours and is a completely nice slash sweet to be a basketball player.
"Nah, I don't want to do that" He snickered and sighed "What are you doing?"
"I… am doing nothing"
"Nothing?"
"Yeah, I'm bored"
"So am I"
"I should come and visit you"
"Oh my god! You should" I squealed lightly and heard him laugh "You were being serious right?"
"Mhm, I'll come next month. Wait… is your brother there?"
"Yes"
"I thought he was still in New York"
"No, he lives with us but I swear he won't make a big deal about it because I will kill him if he does…" I pushed my hair behind my ear and slumped my shoulders.
"How many rooms are in your house?"
"Four and they're all taken"
"So that means I get to sleep with you…" I smirked and shook my head "Nah, I'm more afraid of your dad's gun than anything"
"That doesn't mean you can't sneak up here in the middle of the night"
"You're trying to get me killed" He said huskily
"Mm…" I moaned out in a laugh "I miss your lips" He snickered lightly before responding.
"I miss your face" I turned a light pink and grinned "I'll call you tomorrow"
"Okay…"
"Bye" I hung up the phone and dropped it on the desk in front of me. I stood up from the chair and headed toward the door. Before I could make it down the stairs, I saw my father walk through the front with his utility belt in one hand and his gun in the other.
"Hey, dad"
Hey, sweetheart" He greeted me back and walked past me on the stairs. He was going to go lock his weapon in the safe "How was school?" I heard him call out from upstairs.
"Fine" Where's those two dimwits? I pulled out my phone and texted them both in a group text
'Where are you idiots at?' – SM
'Next door' – Derek
'Why? You left me here with my parents and I'm bored as hell' – SM
"Did you make it to school on time?" He called out.
"Yeah, Chad g-" I shut up really quick. It was scary how he heard because his heavy footsteps pounded down the steps. He came face to face with me.
"Chad what?"
'We're going to a club' – Jake
"He gave me a ride since he was going that way"
"Didn't I tell you that I didn't want you hanging around them?"
"Yes but h-" I tried but he refused
"No, buts"
"It was just a ride, dad. Calm down" I threw my hands up, raising my voice a little. He silently ordered me to watch my tone.
'It's Wednesday night. It's the middle of the week' – SM
"I'll be driving you to school tomorrow since you think going against my word is okay"
"No…" I whined "I don't want to pull up in front of the school with my father" He shrugged and turned around to head back up the steps
"That's my final word, Sonny"
Damnit
'So what? We don't have school tomorrow, you do… so go to sleep' – Derek
'Shut up' – SM
I hate being underage!
