Chapter 3: Slightly Familiar
She couldn't believe this was happening already. Sonny was standing in front of a tall building that was in the rich part of the town. She was wearing normal jeans, blue converse and a blue v-cut t-shirt. Her hair was in a pony tail and she was carrying two suitcases, one in each hand.
She took a deep breath and walked inside, prepared for what will be her life for a whole year. The butler looked at her quizzically, he certainly didn't expect someone like her, he was used to woman in expensive jewelry and designer clothes but he knew she was the Cooper's new employee.
Thankfully Sonny had resolved everything with her father before leaving and after a lot of hugs, tears and kisses they said their good byes.
She was now standing in front of a very clean elevator, waiting for the doors to open. Her feet hurt a little bit since she had walked a good distance and her suitcases were heavy.
Finally, the doors opened and luckily there was no one inside but a lift butler. He was wearing a ridiculous red suit and his face was clearly bored, he was young, maybe 22 or 23 years old. She got inside and tried to press the buttons however he bat away her hand.
"Floor?" He asked his face and voice expressionless.
"Penthouse" She answered. His eyes widened.
"Penthouse? Are you sure?" He asked, his big brown eyes shining.
"Yes, I'm sure why?"
He shrugged "It's just that nobody goes there except for George and Olive" Then he realized he was talking and it wasn't part of his job. He pushed on the button and the elevator started going up.
"Well, I'm working there now, I'm Sonny" She took out her hand to offer it to him; however the man just stared at it and ignored her.
The elevator's door opened and soon got out, gaping at the big black doors in front of her. They had a big golden C in each of the door. She pressed on the ring and waited.
A woman in her mid forties opened the door. She had big green eyes and dark brown hair. Her eyes were bright and clever and her features showed seriousness however there was something else under it.
"Hello, you must be Sonny, I'm Olive" She opened the door and let Sonny in and helping her with one of the suitcases. "Make yourself comfortable, George will be here in any minute" The woman disappeared in one of the halls and Sonny sat on the small living room that was in front of her.
The walls had a creamy color and the curtains were a dark blue. The sofas were white leather and there was a crystal table in the middle of the two sofas with a porcelain vase on it. There were a lot of paintings in the walls but no pictures at all. In a corner of a room there was a small door that led to the balcony. Behind Sonny there was another door that probably led to the kitchen. At her left there was the main door and a hall that probably led to the rooms and to her right was another big hall with more rooms.
She sat and waited until George came in.
He was smiling and opened his arm to wrap Sonny in a big hug.
Sonny was surprised but she hugged him back nonetheless.
"I'm glad to see you darling, please take a seat" Sonny sat and then Olive came in, sitting next to George, both of them opposite to her.
"George has told me about you" Olive mentioned smiling.
Sonny nodded and placed both of her hands on her lap.
"So, basic things you need to know, our boss's name is Chad and he will see you whenever he wants to, you are completely forbidden to go to the last room in the east hall. FORBIDENN understood?" George asked, frowning and looking more serious that Sonny had ever seen him and Olive had the same expression as well.
"I understand"
"You have to wake up at seven am and you can sleep at eight pm, no exception unless the boss asks you to do something differently. Your duties as I explained is to tutor the boss, be the housekeeper when we aren't here, cook, clean and other duties"
"When am I going to meet the boss?"
"When he wants you to, it can be today, tomorrow or in a week, who know but just stick to the orders I gave you darling alright? Unless you want to face his wrath"
Sonny nodded but she was very curious about this Chad person. She had been told he was her same age but what was he home schooled? And why he didn't show up?
Olive stood up "Follow me dear, I'll show you your room" Sonny followed Olive to the west hall. The apartment was really big; each room was her apartment's size! They finally reached her room which was 10 times her old one. The walls were a creamy color; there was a Queen Sized bed in the middle with a blue quilt. The drawers were made of wood with hand carving of flowers. In the corners there were lamps and there were some beautiful paintings. There was a little door on the left wall that led to the bathroom.
"Make yourself comfortable" Olive smiled politely and closed the door leaving Sonny alone.
She plopped down the bed thinking this was her new home for a whole new year.
. . . .
"She is here?" Chad sat on his chair that pointed at the window which had a full view of the City of Los Angeles.
"Yes Chad, do you want to see her?"
His eyes widened "S-see her?" He whispered "Now?"
George nodded. "She is in the west hall main bedroom if you want to see her"
"I don't want to see her, not yet" He sighed.
"Alright, you know where to find her and you will have to meet her soon or later, she will tutor you after all"
"I will know when the time is right, now get out" He pointed with his index finger at the door and George obeyed.
When he was finally alone he went to look at himself in the mirror.
He hated himself. He was once the famous heartthrob, the rich guy. He used to be sexy, hot, handsome and perfect. But that's it, he used to.
What was he now? His whole face was filled with scars, his perfect nose was now bent and his lips dry. His hair! Oh his amazing hair was now gone, there was nothing on his bald head. How can a girl ever love him? Probably at the first sight of him she would run away and spread the rumor that the Handsome Chad Dylan Cooper looks like a beast, like an anomaly. The only thing that remained the same was his eyes. They were the same blue sparkly color that could hypnotize people.
Nobody loved him or liked him. They never actually did.
He had seen the blogs, facebook and twitter and everybody was glad he was gone and out of the map. His dad lived his life as if he didn't exist and his mom, she didn't matter, she left when he was freaking 12! Even his friends Layo and Adriel didn't care about him. Only Ronier remained loyal. George and Olive only worked for him and even if George treated him like a son, that was it. He would never find someone who truly loved him and breaks the spell, and how can he love someone?
He turned around and looked at the dying red rose on the table. Each day was a day closer to his 21st birthday and to be cursed forever!
Now he had to remain in his room until 8 o'clock when the girl must be sleep and he couldn't walk around his house until he had the guts to confront the girl. What was her name again?
Sonia… Sasha… Son… Son something was. It was something like the weather… Sonny! That's it. Sonny.
What kind of name was it anyway? It sounded kind of familiar. Where had he heard that name? Heck, she probably went to his school and he ignored her, and if she had a grudge against him? Hell, that was a problem.
Probably If he saw her first when she was asleep he would probably remember her and know if she is a danger or not.
But until then he had 8 hours to wait, so that's what he did. He sat down and looked outside the window, imagining what his life would be if he was himself.
. . . .
This was hard work! Sonny thought as she cleaned the dust of the living room and this living room was huge! She still needed to clean the kitchen and the library. And don't forget to cook! She was assigned to cook something she didn't even know! Lasagna.
"Arg!" Sonny let out a frustrated sigh. Why had she accepted this?
Right, she needed the money! And this job was the only that could offer what she needed faster than any other job.
She wished she was in college, studying literature. She loved literature and books, they were her passion. She couldn't help but try to finish all of this and go to the library! Maybe this Chad guy had tons of books if he was home schooled.
Sonny smiled, admiring the now clean living room and went to the library at a fast pace. The doors were huge, they had the same C of the front door but those were wood C's. She turned the knob but it was locked.
"Why?" Sonny groaned. The only place that would probably keep her sane was locked! She didn't even have a computer for her sake or a cell phone. The phone here had a code and she couldn't even use it! This was like a prison but she could eat whatever she wanted and walk everywhere except go to the room at the east hall.
"Is something wrong dear?" Olive came walking down the hall and stood in front of Sonny.
"I'm supposed to clean the library but it's closed"
"Oh, sorry I didn't mention but the boss said it will be locked until he decided what was best" Sonny looked at the floor and sighed.
Why her? Why?
"Alright, I will go and prepare dinner" She smiled and turned around heading to the kitchen.
She hoped there was a cooking book somewhere.
. . . .
Knock Knock
"Sir?" A shaky voice came from the other side of his door. Chad turned his head to the sound.
"What?" His raspy voice answered.
"Umm… your dinner is ready" Her voice was sweet but at the same time it had a strong ring to it. Where had he heard that voice before?
"Leave it in the kitchen, hasn't Olive told you anything about it?" Chad growled. Maybe this wasn't the best way to befriend her but he wasn't in the mood.
"She did… I just thought"
"You thought wrong, now leave"
He heard a shuffle of feet leaving and he let out a sigh of relief.
. . . .
What was his damned problem? She was trying to be nice! To be cordial but nooo, he didn't want to. Who did he think he was?
His boss and the man he paid her.
She groaned. It was 7pm, one more hour and she had to obey her curfew. She couldn't risk anything to get fired and even less after Chad's not so nice attitude.
If she only had someone to talk to.
Tik Tok
40 more minutes.
Tik Tok
Sonny tapped her foot on the floor, bored.
Tik Tok. The clock once again chimed.
Sonny kept tapping.
"Tik Tok, Tik Tok" She said.
She smiled "Tik Tok on the clock and the party won't stop no oh oh oh!" She sang, forgetting about the time.
Chad heard her. He had got out of his room at 8pm sharp and heard her sing. Didn't she look at her clock and notice her curfew? He frowned.
He couldn't be seen, he had to do something.
There was a metal plate. He pushed and it fell down with a loud bang. Chad hid behind the curtain.
Soon Sonny came running and saw the plate on the floor.
What happened? She looked at the clock and saw it was 8:30! She was past curfew and her boss could hear her! She lifted up the plate, turned off the lights and ran to her room, hoping nobody saw her or heard her.
Chad gaped at her retreating figure. She was pretty, very pretty and he hadn't seen her before even though she looked familiar. However it was too dark for him to really look at her.
He took out his black mask he used when he went to ski. He waited 30 minutes and got inside her room.
Everything was silent and dark.
He closed the door silently and walked near the bed and she was curled in a ball, sleeping. Her brown silky hair sprawled on the pillow, the quilt covering her except her face and shoulders. Her red mouth was slightly open and he could appreciate her closed eyes. All in all, she was beautiful.
Now he knew where he had seen her before… she was the girl he tried to kiss at his party.
This was going to be fun.
He got closer to her face, his nose almost touching her cheek.
She smelled so good… like vanilla…
Her eyes snapped open and she sat up but her head collided with something.
"Ouch!" A strange voice said. She turned around and there was a robber!
She shrieked "Get out! I'm going to call the police!" She tried frantically to get out of the bed but her legs were trapped in the sheets.
He chuckled darkly, still holding his head. He was wearing a black mask but his eyes shone through the dark. They were a bright blue.
Sonny grabbed her quilt tighter, afraid he might do something.
"Calm down, it's me" His raspy voice said. She recognized it as Chad's.
"Why are you here? Why are you wearing a mask?"
"I wanted to know you and I'm wearing it so I won't scare you"
Sonny frowned "Yeah, wearing a black mask that's similar to a robber's doesn't scare me" She said sarcastically
"My face would scare you more than my mask"
"I don't think so, take it off"
"No and don't push it, I can fire you"
Sonny sighed and looked at his beautiful blue eyes. He looked so familiar. Chad Cooper.
Wait. Chad Cooper?
"Wait, are you Chad Dylan Cooper?" The jerk that she talked to at his party? This didn't seem right; Chad Dylan Cooper would never hide his face!
He took a sharp intake of breath and paced slowly in front of her.
"I… am" He whispered.
"Where have you been? Everyone has wondered where you have been"
"Shut up! Nobody cares where I am or what has happened to me! THEY DON'T CARE!" He shouted. Thankfully they were the only ones in the apartment since George and Olive had left for few days.
Sonny saw the sadness in his eyes. Something horrible must have happened to him.
"I'm… sorry" She looked at her lap. "I don't know what's wrong but you can talk to me about it if you want"
"I don't want to" He spoke rudely. "Now go to sleep, I will see you tomorrow in the morning" He walked and opened the door.
"Wait!" She said loudly. Chad turned around, annoyance clearly in his eyes.
"What?"
"I won't tell anyone about you" She smiled
Chad almost smiled back. Almost. However he felt relief.
He knew she wasn't going to tell anyone anyway, after all he remembered she was the girl he gave a rose to.
Yay! Chapter 3 is done! :D Next chapter is more channy of course :) Did you love it? :P So Review pretty please? :D
