Oh I know it's been so long! Sorry it's taken forever for this update, but life has been just a step above hectic lately. But alas here is the next chapter! Sorry about the shortness...the next one should be longer.

Was it really to strange to believe that the—that guy was really being a gentleman, well in his own version, just for her? It really didn't sound right, but kid you not my dear reader, the player was doing something beyond all comprehension.

She eyed him suspiciously with a smirk that simply couldn't hide. She was furious. The pure audacity of him to call her that! The way he smiled so sweet and tilted his head over so lightly, beaming with the full knowledge she wouldn't be able to resist.

However, she liked the way it sounded to her great irritation.

My Sonny girl

It took all of her self-control not to comment on his uncharacteristic sweetness. Why did he have to always pull something like this? Her heart beat erratically as he continued to watch her body language. She hadn't moved a centimeter once those fateful words had uncontrollably flowed out of his stubborn mouth.

He knew her better than to see how dumbfounded she appeared. Behind those two piercing eyes was a mind working at full capacity. She studied him, critiquing any possible advantage or benefit that would compel him to offer such a courteous action.

Of course, she was a little distracted and even if she had come to see there had to be something, she would have overlooked it. Whatever his intentions were, she was going to soak in this civil gesture as much as she could.

It had been only so many minutes of the two staring intently at each other when one decided to finally move.

Sonny jolted out of the intense, strange trance they seemed to be both stuck in and sharply turned from him. It only took a moment for Chad to as well jump out of it and chase after her.

She was going to let him walk her home…but she wasn't going to let it be easy for him.

"Fine, walk me home if you insist, Cooper" She called out curtly behind her where a worn out CDC trudged a few feet off. She didn't like this one freaking bit. She didn't care if she might insult him for being so rude; she couldn't help it.

If he wanted to play this cat and mouse game, then he had another thing coming for him.

Of course, Chad being his unique, cliché self thought this sudden change was a beautiful sign. He knew she acting all bipolar on him due to his success in pricking her heart. She was mad because he was getting closer, and also to the fact he knew how to get his way with her.

She was vulnerable.

He knew it and she knew it all to well. She was fighting her dear hardest to keep him at bay, yet that good for nothing man wouldn't let mood swings turn him away.

He eventually caught up with her, and tested the waters the only way CDC would do it with her. He gave her a soft nudge with his elbow straight to her ribs. She snapped her head faster than she ever thought possible towards his direction, wanting to strangle his sweaty throat til he breathed his last. However, she did give him the warning glare and a smack to his arm.

He took it as another good sign and smiled his always-cocky smile in satisfaction.

"Someone has temper." He mumbled devilishly.

"Shut up, Chad," she snapped right back. He was breaking her walls quicker than a man turns on a super bowl game.

"Awe, you know you like it when I touch you Munroe."

She bit her lip, really contemplating whether it would be worth it to murder him in the middle of the sidewalk with all these people watching. She folded her arms and quickened her pace with determination oozing out of her very breath.

He laughed with a twinkle in his eye as he sped up—and tried again. He knew she wouldn't dare make a scene in front of all these passer-buyers. She was too aware and common sensed to think of it.

So as said before, he nudged her again, deliberately poking her buttons to get her full attention. Yeah, he probably could've done it another way—but this was too much fun to not do it!

She took the gentle blow to the ribs in stride, not even giving him the satisfaction in a side-glance. He then decided upon a stronger tactic and with a pure teasing smile in his face he unleashed it.

Ever so stealthily, he walked right in step with her, inching his body closer and closer unbeknownst to the oblivious one. She was taking the silence as a sign of benevolence from the Almighty one for once; too bad it was farthest from the truth. He mischievously snaked his right arm right through her left one in a blink of an eye. To the outside world, they looked like a couple cutely linking arms in a sign of affection.

Before she could even object he spoke softly to her ear, "So darling, how was your day?"

To no ones surprise, her mouth gaped wide open with a look that spoke the words for her: what in the world was this crap? He kept up these strange actions by getting even closer than before. Upon this, she finally tried to wrench away from his grip; however, he had already predicted this and countered it.

"Cooper, what the heck?" she finally sputtered after several failed attempts.

He furrowed his brows in mock confusion feigning innocence.

"I don't know what you are talking about Sonny."

Sonny jerked her head back, whipping locks of her hair in the process making Chad roll his eyes frustratingly.

She then narrowed her eyes, questions just daring to spill.

"Aren't you afraid someone will see us…"

"Pshh Sonny girl, you know Chad Dylan Cooper isn't afraid of anything," he cockily replied.

"I'm serious Chad," she shifted her eyes nervously to the people passing and the looks that followed. "Won't this give you bad publicity or something stupid like that" She spat.

He dismissed her comment with a wave of his hand, "don't be so vain Sonny, geez I had taken you as the one who saw the best in people?"

"Chad!"

"Yes Sonny?"

"What is up with you?"

"You, Sonny, you!"
