Hey. So I'm not sure if I like this chapter a whole bunch... but yeah. Well, enjoy reading (sorry if that's hard to do)! : D
Chapter 4
*Sonny's POV*
Tawni sighed and fell down on the lounge chair on the balcony of the beach house, facing the ocean.
"I can't believe we are going to be away from So Random! for a whole 4 months!" She exclaimed happily.
I laughed, sitting down the second lounge chair. We had gotten to North Carolina around 3:00 am but hadn't gotten to Sunset Beach till 5:00 because of traffic on the bridge. As soon as we had gotten there, Nico and Grady had crashed on the couches, not bothering to figure out the room arrangements. Tawni would have gone to bed to, if I hadn't had begged her to stay up with me to watch the sunrise. I turned to Tawni to ask her opinion on the beauty of the sun, when I heard a little snore from her.
I sighed. I shouldn't have really expected her to stay up. I went in through the slide doors and got a blanket from a closet and put it on Tawni. I decided to take a shower to get rid of my nerves.
Yes - My Nerves.
I was nervous. I had never done a movie before and had no idea what to expect or what to do. When I auditioned, I was hoping for a little part, not even thinking I was being considered for anything bigger. Once I got in the shower, the knots in my back had left and I just tried to think about the wonderful view our beach house had.
We were just right down the road from the water, but we could still see the ocean because of how tall the house was. It was even tall enough to have an elevator to all of the floors. The location of the house showed breathtaking views of the ocean, Madd Inlet, Bird Island, the winding marsh-lined creeks, and, of course my favorite, the sunsets. On top there was a crows nest, where I would most likely be in spare time. The house had 4 bedrooms, but could fit 14 people. The kitchen was fantastic, really gourmet, with several dining spaces. There was 2 living rooms a fireplace, a Jacuzzi tub in master bedroom (Where I would be staying because I had the main part in the movie!! [:), Ceiling fans in all rooms, Gas grill, Washer/Dryer, Microwave, Dishwasher, Stereo, hi-speed Internet, foosball and ping-pong table, 3 DVDs, VCR, roof deck, sundeck, screened porch and covered decks, tidal dock, canoe, bikes. AND it was non-smoking.
The best part of all was that neither of us had to pay for it.
It was perfect.
It even had a perfect name - Salubrious View [2].
I finished my shower and threw on a pair of blue shorts and a gray t-shirt and threw my hair up in a messy bun, letting only my bangs down. I wasn't really expected anywhere until 6:00 for dinner with the cast, so I had awhile till I actually had to try and look pretty.
I put on my black flip-flops and grabbed a book to read on the beach.
*Chad's POV*
"Uh, huh. Well. That's okay. I think I'll be going now..." I said urgently and tried to back away from the house as fast as I could without being rude.
The girl was still hanging onto me. "No... You should stay. Sleeping with me would be fun." She said innocently. But when I looked into her eyes, you could see the true meaning.
"No, really" I said quickly, trying to pry off her fingers. "My - uh- my girlfriend actually told me that I could stay with her..." I said, emphasizing the 'girlfriend' and the girl finally let go of me and grimaced.
"Oh. " She replied and backed away towards her family - the family who was staying in MY beach house. That I had specifically asked for. But APPARENTLY was already booked by a huge Greek family and they had nicely refused to leave, but had let me stay - But that included sleeping in the same room as their 19 year old daughter, a girl desperate for something more then sleeping.
I gagged a little in my mouth, just thinking about it.
"Ok. Well then. Bye." I said quickly and got into my rented convertible and sped down the road.
After I as farther down the road so they couldn't see, I stopped and pulled over and banged my head against the steering wheel.
Where the heck was I supposed to stay now for a whole 4 months?! I yelled at myself, hoping for an answer...
And then I thought of it - Sonny!
I took my phone from my pocket and dialed Sonny's number.
"Hello?" Sonny's voice answered happily.
"Hey Sonny, It's me Chad."
I heard a little groan from the other end but ignored it.
"I need a favor, Sonny. Please. Please. Please. Say you can help." I begged.
Sonny sighed. "Alright, what is it?"
"Can I stay with you, please?" I asked.
"What? Why? Where were you supposed to stay?"
I quickly explained the situation with the Greek family and then reluctantly told her about the over-obsessive 19-year-old girl.
Sonny laughed out loud. "That's probably the funniest thing I've heard all day."
"It's only 7 in the morning..." I grumbled, but loud enough for her to hear.
She laughed again, "Haha, alright Chad. You can stay with us."
I froze... Us? I asked myself.
"Oh... Well I wouldn't, uh, want to barge in or anything..." I said, going off.
There was a moment of silence and then Sonny was suddenly yelling.
"Oh no, Chad! EW!" She yelled in a disgusted voice.
"What?!" I asked, startled.
"Tawni, Grady, and Nico are staying with me! Not some dude!"
"Ohh..." I said, finally understanding.
"Yeah...." she mimicked me.
I grimaced. "Whatever, Munroe. So do you guys have room, or what?"
"Yeah, we do. I'll text you the address."
"Alright."
I pulled up to... I looked down at the name again, Salubrious View [2].
It was probably one of the biggest beach houses I'd ever seen. It was tall - very tall, with ALOT of windows.
Great. Windows. I muttered.
I had never told anyone about my fear of windows. Its sort of a stupid fear and it really only goes in affect if I actually think about how high the windows are and the possibilities of something cracking it and falling and falling...
I stopped my thoughts there and just drove up to the house and thought of how hilarious the Randoms faces were going to be when they found out I was staying with them.
It was funny how I didn't actually think of Sonny as a Random anymore - just plain old sunny-side-up sunshine Sonny.
But she's not plain, she's perfect. My mind told me and I shook my head.
"I can't believe those words were even possible in Chad Dylan Cooper's head." I muttered.
"What words?" Asked the very voice that always made my day.
Stop it, Chad. I demanded myself.
I turned to the sound of her voice and found her leaning against a Hot Chocolate colored Mini Cooper S Convertible with two white stripes in the front, along with a white stop and mirrors.
I took out my key from the ignition, got out of my car, ignoring Sonny's question, and examined the car.
Sonny laughed. "Like the car, Chad?" She said, taking a heavy suitcase from the back.
When she was about to fall, I went to catch it under her.
"Thanks." She huffed.
"No problem." I said, helping her by holding most of the weight.
"Do we have to carry this ALL the way up those stairs?" I asked, eyeing the stairs menacingly.
"No, thank goodness. There's an elevator over there." She nodded with her head in the direction.
I sighed a sigh of relief and we walked towards the elevator.
"Oh, and yes I like your car. New?" I asked.
"Yup. My aunt got it for me for my birthday."
"Why haven't I seen you drive it back at home?" I asked, confused. I tried to think of what car Sonny was driving the other day...
"Because it's been rainy and I didn't want it to get dirty." She said, simply.
The elevator doors open and we went in.
"What floor?" I asked, since I was by the numbers.
"3."
I pressed three and shifted my weight on my other foot.
"Chad, I got it. You don't have to carry it." She said, trying to take the suitcase all in her hands.
I refused to let go of my side and smirked
"What kind of gentleman would do that?" I asked, looking at her directly in the eyes.
She rolled her eyes, refusing to look in mine.
"But there's only one problem." She said looking at me back directly in the eyes, smiling.
"What?"
"Chad Dylan Cooper is not a gentleman." She simply stated, shrugging her shoulders.
I glared at her while the elevator doors open. She went through the doors first, backing out, and then I followed her, but stopping in front of the door so I could hold the elevator with my foot.
"Oh right, I forgot." I said, then dropping my side of the suitcase so Sonny stumbled, not expecting me to let go of the weight.
I laughed. "See ya in a bit, Sonny"
I laughed again, looking at her kneeling on the floor with her annoyed/surprised expression. I turned around and walked into the elevator, letting the doors close.
*Sonny's POV*
I grumbled about how annoying Chad was all the way to Tawni's room, dragging her suitcase with me
"I can't believe I'm letting him stay here…" I said out loud
"Let who stay here?" asked Grady from the doorway of Tawni's room, rubbing his eyes.
"Uh, no one, uh, so, uh, were the couches comfortable?" I asked, leaving Tawni's room.
"Yeah, super! I might just sleep on them." Grady said, following me up the stairs to the higher level.
The upstairs was one big open room, with a very high ceiling. To the left of the staircase, there was the kitchen, and then the rest of the room was a living room type room.
The huge fancy kitchen has a wrap around counter and two stoves in the middle, attached to a counter you could just sit at and watch the cooking. In front of the where the kitchen was, the rest of the living room lied. There was one big leather couch with two leather chairs, facing to where the fireplace was. Behind the couch was, was a very long wooden table with a long bench on each side.
"That's good…" I said, barely listening to him.
"So, where's Tawni?" Grady asked, looking around in the fridge.
"Sleeping on the deck. She fell asleep watching the sun rise with me." I said, sitting down on the counter. "The orange juice is on the side, Grady."
He looked to the side. "Oh, thanks!" He said, smiling.
Nico came up the stairs then, stretching. He smiled at us and sat down on the counter next to me.
"Hey guys…" He said through a yawn. "Pour me some of that, will you?" He asked Grady, pointing at the orange juice,
Grady poured two glasses and put the orange juice away and came to sit with us.
While they talked about what they should do today I tried to think of way to mention that our enemy was going to stay with us…
"Wonder where Chad is staying?" Grady wondered.
Best opening I could have… I mumbled to myself.
I looked up and said "Uh, guys?" I asked. They looked at me and I regretted even agreeing to let Chad stay with us.
"So, well, Chad's staying with us." I said, cringing, waiting for the yelling.
"What?!" Nicole yelled, his hand hitting his glass of orange juice off the table, thankfully it was empty.
I quickly explained why he couldn't stay at the house he was supposed to stay at and begged them to try to understand.
When I was finished, Nico and Grady were shaking their heads.
"You're way to nice Sonny for your own good." Grady said.
I rolled my eyes. "So, is it okay?" I asked.
"No." Nico said simply.
"But it's not up to us. This house is technically yours because the movie people are letting YOU stay in it. So you are in charge." Grady said, shrugging.
I let out a breath, "Thanks guys." I said, taking their glasses.
"Just don't expect us to play Zombies with Chad Dylan Pooper." Nico said.
"Who said I even wanted to?"
I spun around to see Chad leaning against the door to the staircase. He wasn't looking at me, gratefully, so he hadn't seen my reaction.
"Chad." Grady and Nico said at the same time, narrowing their eyes.
"Grady, Nico." He said, smirking at their reactions.
"Tell us when breakfast is ready, Sonny." Grady said, and they headed down stairs.
I crossed my arms and glared at them while they left. "Didn't know I was supposed to make it." I said angrily, but they didn't hear me.
I groaned in annoyance and started to look around in the cupboards to see what I could make.
I heard Chad approach me, but ignored him.
It wasn't until I felt is breath on my neck that I turned around.
Chad was close enough to me that our foreheads were touching. I inhaled but didn't breathe out.
"I saw your reaction to when I spoke earlier." He said, leaning against me a little, pushing me into the counter.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" I said, trying to lie.
"You're a bad liar, Munroe." He said, smiling.
He stepped back with a smug look on his face. I finally exhaled and closed my eyes.
"You have no right to be in my bubble." I said, opening my eyes and glaring at him.
He laughed and walked over to the couch.
"I can be anywhere I want to be, Sonny." He said, hopping on the couch, putting his feet on the china table.
I walked over to him and pushed his feet off the table with my foot.
"That might be true in L.A. But here, in this house, I have rules that you will follow or you will be kicked out." I said, strictly.
He laughed and stood up. "Whatever, Munroe. Can you just show me where I will be staying?"
He walked to a room that was on this floor.
"Uh, that's actually my room." I said. But to late, he was already sucked into how big a glorious it was.
"Whoa." He said, and kept walking in.
I groaned and followed him.
"Chad, I'd rather you not be in my room!" I exclaimed.
"This is your room?" He asked surprised, running his hand over the bed.
"Yes. And I'd like you to leave." I replied harshly, pointing to the door.
He ignored me and plopped down the bed, lying down.
"Ooo, nice bed." He said, turning his head towards me.
I rolled my eyes and went over to where my bags were to unpack.
"Your not gonna join me?" He asked, faking disappointment.
At least I thought it was disappointment… What am I kidding? Course' it was.
"No, I am not going to join you, Chad." I said, taking some of my hair products and putting them on my bedside table.
Chad sat up on the side of the bed and the next thing I knew, Chad's hands were on my waist, pulling me down. When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the bed, with Chad over me, smirking, his hair falling in front of his face.
I didn't let my guard down this time and I put my hands on his chest.
"Get off of me, Cooper." I said, narrowing my eyes, giving him a little push.
He pushed back with his body, making my hands drop and his chest an inch away from mine. His hands were holding him up.
"I'm not touching you, Munroe." He replied. "You were the one touching me." He leaned in a little closer so our bodies were now touching.
"Now we are touching." He said, his minty-breath blowing onto my face.
I shook my head and pulled my knee up to hit him where it hurts. His eyes bugged out of his head and he dropped and landed on me. His wait was little more then I had expected and I cried an "Oh!" when he landed on me.
He groaned in pain and put his hand toward where I had hit him. I quickly pushed him off me and let him roll to the floor in pain. I stood up and looked down at him.
"Home sweet home." I said, smiling, walking out of the room.
Well, I have to say that I liked that last part:) lol.
Also, I'm very mad that SWAC didn't win favorite TV show tonight at the Kid Choice Awards... But Demi Lovato wasn't there so that's probably why the show wasn't considered that much. Oh well, SWAC is still the best not matter what the say:)
Sorry this took so long by the way, I hope you guys are enjoying it!
