Disclaimer: Me - So… report.
Evil Bunny – Um… the kangaroos of Australia defeated us.
Me – WHAT?
Evil Bunny – But there is some good news.
Me – Okay, shoot.
Evil Bunny – Though we don't have Australia…
Me - *sobs*
Evil Bunny – We have Sterling Knight in our basement.
Me - *smiles really wide* Do we have his rights?
Evil Bunny – No, we just have him locked in the basement.
Me - *goes back to sob*
So far… I'm at square one, or maybe one and a half, considering that I have Sterling Knight… but we don't own him.
Oh, who am I kidding? I don't even HAVE a basement. :P
Anyways, here's the next chapter.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Sonny's POV
"Tawni, you can't tell Chad or the kids… or anyone," I sighed.
"Yeah, I understand," she assured me. Tawni was understanding? Gosh, this had to be a dream, but until I wake up, might as well make the best of it.
"So, what should I do?" I said, entwining my fingers into my hair, which I did when I was frustrated.
"Easy," she replied, calmly. "Just act as if everything were normal. Don't get too freaked out by Chad kissing you a lot. He is your hubby after all…"
I shivered at the word. You'd think I'd get used to it by now.
I guess I wouldn't mind being married to Chad in the real world. I mean, though I hated to say it, Chad was… charming. He was… Chad. Chad Dylan Cooper to be exact.
"Anyways," she continued. "Why don't I throw a party tonight or something? I'll invite over Nico, Grady, Zora, the works. Then the models that we work with. Some movie stars. I'll get the security up and running."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I said. "It doesn't have to be that big, you know."
"Oh this? This will be nothing. Just a regular party."
Well, I had to admit that I LOVED parties, but for some reason, these huge Hollywood ones where they gave out cars to random guests really got to me. I didn't belong in the scene, you know? I was just an average girl from Wisconsin. Although, I HAD to say yes. I would do anything to get to know these people.
The day went by calmly. The kids were really busy playing with their toys from Tawni, and Chad took me out to lunch, where we just talked. I avoided him kissing me, and I avoided the term "husband" and the phrase "I love you".
I changed into a really pretty, but casual red dress I found hanging in the back of my closet, and put on some light make-up, to be more… natural. I must've done a good job, because Chad kept on staring at me with wide eyes. I know I should've felt creeped out, but when someone as hot as Chad Dylan Cooper stares at YOU, you don't mind. You take it as a compliment.
Chad got a babysitter for the kids, and we drove to Tawni's Hollywood mansion. And when Tawni says something is going to be small… well I'd like to see it when she throws what she calls a BIG party.
The place was huge. There were amazing decorations, enough food to feed 5 whales AND an army, and live music, and only the half the population of the earth there. Now, obviously this is sarcasm, but still… when I mean huge, I mean huge.
Tawni greeted Chad and me by hugging us both. She squeezed us both generously hard, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when she hugged Chad. But c'mon. I don't even like him. Well, I guess I would HAVE to now. He's my… husband. I mentally shuddered.
"Sonny, Chad. So glad that you could make it," Tawni said, not making it obvious that this party was all for me to meet everyone in my fantasy life.
But what if this wasn't fantasy? What is this was the real world, and I had actually been transported into the future?
Maybe. That had to be my answer for now. Maybe…
"How are you enjoying yourselves?" Nico asked. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw that Tawni was accompanied by Nico. Nico?
Nico was still Nico, except his voice a bit deeper, and he was definitely... I can't really say because this is Nico we are talking about. Let's just say it was obvious why Tawni and Nico were together. And needless to say, they did look cute.
Right when I started to move from the "MAJOR Uncomfortable" zone to only "Really Uncomfortable", I spotted Tawni's ring. And so did Nico.
Whoa. That just didn't happen. I blinked again and again to make the illusion go away, but it just didn't. Tawni and Nico? What would their couple name be…? Nawni or Tico? Or Tawnico? Weird. I guess mine and Chad's would be "Channy". Sounds like a disease. Better than Bieber Fever. Of course, that's not of this time period.
I could hear Chad answer for me too, as I woke up from my trance.
"Yeah, we're enjoying ourselves like always," Chad chuckled. He smiled his real smile, the one that made me truly melt. I giggled. I couldn't help myself.
Only Tawni knew what was truly going on in my mind. I was analyzing my every move, Chad's every move, Nico's every move, Tawni's. Making mental notes. I needed all the help I could get.
"Can't believe that you're still together," Nico said teasingly to us.
"Honey!" Tawni softly hit him on the arm.
"Who would've thought America's Sweetheart and America's Bad Boy together?"
"I remember when you two started going out, it seemed like the end of the world," Tawni said.
"But I guess we had to admit that you and Coop looked cute," Nico admitted. Chad chuckled at this.
"So we'll leave you here," Tawni said, nodding to Chad and me. "Have fun."
They walked away. Chad turned to me.
"Care for a drink, m'lady?" he asked me, charmingly. Darn his sparkly eyes… they made me lose my train of thought before the train left from the previous station.
"Um… yeah, sure," I said uneasily and a bit nervously. We walked over to where the soda was.
I had butterflies. Why? I mean, after all, he was my husband. I mean, I was supposed to feel confident around my husband, right? Even if he was Chad Dylan Cooper. But this didn't add up. Even when I was 17, and he made me feel nervous, I didn't get butterflies. We fought too much to get butterflies. Man, I'd sure like one of those "Fine, fine, good, good" fights right now to wake me up.
"Hehe," he chuckled. "Did you get lost in your hot husband's deep blue eyes again?" he said smiled, making his eyes more hypnotic than ever. Wow…
And usually I would bring up a sarcastic come-back, right? But no. Instead, I laughed. And he joined with me. I couldn't feel better at that moment. This moment was awkward I guess, chuckling with the King of Drama. And you'd think it'd be awkward for him to laugh with someone from Chuckle City. But we both laughed. Together.
"So, um, are you okay from this morning?" he kinda stuttered. Tawni didn't tell anyone about what had happened.
"Well…" I started. I guess that I could tell Chad, but luckily, I didn't have to tell him now. I trailed off when a young couple confronted us.
"Oh hey Zora. Hey Wesley," Chad greeted them.
Zora? I guess everyone here gets prettier with age, because Zora was… flawless.
Her perfect straight hair was now a dark, deep red color (it looked unnatural, but she totally pulled it off), which fit her crazy, fun personality, but was also clean and sophisticated which brought out the very smart and serious part of her personality which looked very beautiful on her. Her brown eyes seemed to be bigger and more attractive in a natural way, contrasting from her hair. She had on a deep jade green dress which went well with her red hair (not in a Christmas-y way, but it was an elegant color scheme set in a casual way… if that makes sense). She wasn't tan, nor pale… just medium.
I didn't know who Wesley was, but he and Zora were a nice couple. By the way Chad greeted him, I wondered if he were someone from Mackenzie Falls a few years ago. An old friend.
"Oh, hi," she said, in a somewhat melodious voice. Kind of shy. It wasn't spine-chilling anymore, that's for sure.
"Yo Chad," Wesley said to Chad very confidently. "And Sonny," he smiled at both of us.
"I guess we're all here," Chad said.
"Except for Grady and Chloe," Zora piped up. "On their honeymoon."
Another wow factor. Everything had changed.
"We'll send them our love," I said. I hadn't said much out loud except to Tawni and Chad today. That's when I realized that my voice was a bit dry.
I met some of modeling friends, my agent (well, actually our agent… Chad and I shared one), other actresses I had worked with, and stuff like that. Chad stayed by my side.
This was far too much. It was another one of those Hollywood parties I didn't belong at. I wished I could just escape…
That's when Chad pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear, "Follow me. I have a surprise for you." He handed me a gold blindfold, and I looked at it.
"You want me to put this on?" I asked, a bit nervously again.
"C'mon," Chad said. "Don't you trust me?" he flashed his perfect white teeth as he smiled.
I put the blindfold on, and I grabbed onto his hand like a little girl and a lollypop.
After what seemed to be a mile walk, he untied the cloth from my face. I looked around. We were on the roof, and there were two chairs next to each other. Chad looked me in the eyes and held out a rose. I smiled, and took it.
"Aw, this is so sweet Chad," I said, sitting down. He sat down too.
"I knew that you'd like it," he said.
"And the stars are so bright," I gazed up into the sky.
"Yes, I am," he replied.
I smiled at this. I know it sounds weird, but I missed Chad's arrogance.
"So…" I sighed.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked.
"What?"
"Kiss me."
"That's not a question."
I had to admit that I DID want to kiss him, but I couldn't help but pull away whenever he attempted.
"Well…" he shrugged, and that's when my eyes locked into his.
We started leaning over closer to each other, when finally our lips crashed into each other. Everything around us disappeared, and no one was on the planet except for us. The way our lips moved together was like magnets, so in synch. I felt so alive, so real, so perfect, so… in love.
That was it. I was in love with Chad Dylan Cooper.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
So this was one of my longer chapters, and I hope you liked it.
And if it was really bad, in my defense, I wrote half of this chapter at midnight, so… that should explain a lot.
And if you're reading this right now, you have awesomenessly awesome awesomeness! :D
