I loved the reviews. I always do. It makes my day and it makes my stomach all fuzzy when I read them. Especially the long ones. Thanks so much. So yeah, Enjoy!
CHAD POV
I stood underneath the warm spray of my shower, letting the streams wash the soap off my body. I'm letting her get to me. I'm letting the sexy brunette get inside my mind. Her body is amazing and her voice can turn me on in an instant. She doesn't belong with James. She doesn't belong with him. She needs to be with me. I have to get her eating out of the palm of my hand because right now, I'm eating out of hers. Her small hands. I mean, she's too much. I closed my eyes and imagined her kneeling in front of me, looking up with her deep brown eyes. I took my member in my hand as it grew just thinking about her. I stroked myself, remembering how she expertly took me into her mouth. I couldn't help myself. It's a memory that'll be burned into my memory. She was too amazing at it. Her small hot mouth around my length made my hand move faster. I breathed heavily as I felt myself near to a release. God, what the hell happened? I just jerked off to a dream of Sonny.
I got out the shower like nothing was wrong and towel dried my hair. I then, wrapped it around my waist and stepped into my room where my fiancée was sleeping. I wonder how Sonny wakes up in the morning. She left so fast that night we slept together. I'm marrying Selena. I need to get that through my head. Selena is a beautiful girl, don't get me wrong but Sonny… just has it.
"Mm…" She hummed and lifted her head slightly "You're leaving?"
"I have to go to work" I mumbled and headed towards my closet. I didn't have to be to work for another four hours but I just had to leave "What are you doing today?"
"Working also…"
"Oh" I found pulled on a pair of clean boxer briefs and took a pair of black slacks off the hanger in the closet. I put them on and reached for a black belt.
"You want me to make breakfast?" I heard her ask. She was leaning in the doorway of the closet.
"Um… no, thanks. I'll get something on the way to work"
"Oh" She ran her fingers through her straight bed head and played with the hem of her shirt. I pulled a white button down shirt and started buttoning it from the top. I quirked an eyebrow and looked at her. She yawned slightly and turned around. I exhaled and pulled on a pair of socks before putting on my shoes. I walked out into the bedroom and hovered over her when she got back in the bed. I placed a kiss on her neck before running my fingers through her hair
"You should start moving more of your stuff into here, you know"
"I know… I've been busy"
"Well, make yourself not busy and get Sonny to help you"
"I think she's mad at me"
"Well, make her un-mad. She's your sister; she can't stay mad at you"
"Yes, she can. She can do anything she wants…"
"Don't make excuses, sweetheart" I pecked her lips shortly before standing up straight and fixing my shirt "I'll see you later"
"Mhm…" She grinned
I walked out of the office with all the stuff I needed and stood in the descending elevator. As much of an asshole I am, I can't hurt Selena. I never want to. I don't like hurting girls'. I don't have the heart to. I drove to work with a lot on my mind and plopped into my desk chair when I arrived. I ran my fingers through my hair and breathed out a breath of air. I'm such an asshole. A short knock on my door was followed by the sound of heels clicking from my assistant
"You have a meeting today at twelve with the chairmen and these contracts need your approval. Then at three you have a meeting with the lawyers, your father will also be on the line" I nodded in understanding "Is something wrong Mr. Cooper?"
"No, Alice. I'm fine"
"Are you sure, boss?" She chuckled and placed her hands on her hips "Should I reschedule a meeting?"
"No, no… I'm fine I swear… I just need something to pick me up"
"Coffee?"
"Yeah, two shots of espresso" She nodded and walked out of my office. I groaned and shook my head. Sonny's killing me. There really is something wrong with me.
SONNY POV
"I hate shopping with you two… you're so annoying" I groaned when my mother pulled me into a shoe store with Selena. Shopping with my mother is the worst thing in the world. Well, shopping with any Monroe woman is torture.
"Relax, we won't be there for that long" Selena chuckled and looked back at me
"You always say that but it's never the truth" I blurted out and plopped down in a chair while the other two stared at a wall full of shoes "Does dad know you have his credit card?"
"Yes, he knows. He gave it to me this morning and told me to go shop happy. He said he hasn't spoiled us in a while" My mother said
Pause…
I am nothing like these two. Yes, we all have dark hair and brown eyes but I'm not happy go money. They love to shop and my father loves to give us money to shop but most of the time the clothes they spend it on is a waste. I mean, I'm sitting here staring at a pair of Jimmy Choos that are amazingly cute but that doesn't mean I'll buy them. Yes, I do like material items and I think they are very nice to have but you don't have to buy every label out there. It's not necessary. I'd rather spend money on quality things that will last me longer and be more beneficial than a name brand. Also with maids… and cooks. Why a maid? Well, because they grew up with one too but that deceives the point
I'm done…
"Oh my god…" Selena gushed and picked up a pair of Valentino's pumps that was lined fully with thin black lace "I'd marry these shoes"
"You're being a bit overdramatic" I stood up and took the shoe from her hand "They're not all that great"
"Yes, they are and I'm asking for my size because they're amazing" She sauntered over to one of the assistants while I turned to my mother
"Those are a little over a thousand dollars. You're going to let her spend money on shoes?"
"If she wants them"
"It's a waste"
"What's your problem? Why are you so cranky?"
"I'm not cranky…" I sighed and switched my weight to my left foot "I don't know why we're shopping for shoes if she just bought three pairs online from her fiancé"
"Well, Chad bought her three pairs of shoes. She didn't buy them and why are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Of what?"
"Selena getting new shoes from her man" She folded her arms with an amused grin
"I'm not jealous"
Yes, you are.
"It's okay that James doesn't buy you shoes and if he did it wouldn't be like these. They're way out of his price range" She muttered the last part. I narrowed my eyes and scoffed
"You're so full of shit" I turned around and walked out of the store. I strode down the avenue, my black booties clicking under me and pushed my hair behind my ears. I can't with them not liking James. It's really starting to piss me off. They're always slamming on him. I don't even know where I'm walking, I'm just leaving.
"Sonny!" I heard a female voice call after me before they touched my shoulder. I stopped and turned around "I just ran after you in heels. What's wrong? Whatever she said, I'm sure she didn't mean it"
"Yeah okay…" I sighed sarcastically and looked at her
"Listen, I just ran after you in heels and I almost broke my ankle…" She explained dramatically "…the least you can do is laugh at my embarrassing running" I chuckled slightly and shook my head
"Did you throw a pillow at James? Is that why he spilled the beer?"
"I might've…"
"God, Selena" I huffed out and folded my arms over my chest "He's not coming around the house because he doesn't want to face dad. You couldn't tell him the truth"
"I just threw the pillow… he dropped it" She shrugged
"Selena…"
"What?" She drawled out "Do you want an apology?"
"No, I want you to apologize to him. Then tell dad the truth over what happened to the couch"
"Why? It's not like he can kill James and the couch is already clean so he has nothing to worry about"
"That's not what I'm saying. Dad already doesn't like James. You made him drop the beer and gave Anthony another reason for him to dislike him. Apologize to James and then tell dad the truth…" I demanded. She stared at me blankly and shook her head
"No"
"No?" I repeated in an unbelievable tone "What do you mean no"
"James should be man enough to face dad on his own. He's a grown ass man"
"That might be true but you're a grown ass woman. Why let him take the fall for your idiocy? You're really acting like a bitch, Selena"
CHAD POV
"Yeah, I miss you too" I said to my mother over the phone. I don't know why but I've always had more of a close bond to my mother than my father.
"I can't wait to meet Selena's parents…"
"I bet" I sighed out. In my mind, I love Selena… I really do but in the back of my mind, I'm marrying the wrong sister. I closed the door to my condo and dropped the keys on the table near the door. In my head, I walk into my bedroom with Sonny lying on top of my king sized bed in nothing but-
"I'm excited for you" But in reality… there's nothing of that nature. She's with James. James fucking Conroy "I'm excited to finally be an in-law. It took you long enough"
"Yeah…" I kept my answers short when I was on the phone with her. I didn't want her to read into any long answer I gave because she's my mother. She always knows when something's not right even if she doesn't see my face. They tend to have that quality "What'd you do today?"
"Well, nothing really. I cleaned up the house because we're having a small barbeque on Saturday…"
"Oh, try not to party too hard" I joked
"Yeah right… it's all of your father's colleagues. That should be so fun"
"Well you know, businessmen drink hard liquor so you have to stock up on that"
"Your father already took care of that part" She chuckled and sighed heavily "Where is your fiancé?"
"Out with her mother for today…" Probably doing what she does best. Shopping "…with her sister too" Her beautiful, tempting, arousing sister
What?
"Oh? You never told me she had a sister. Is she nice? What's her name?"
"Her name is Sonny… and uh…" I thought of a good word to say about Sonny "…she's nice"
"It took you a while to answer? Do you not like her sister?" I balanced the phone between my shoulder and my ear and started unbuttoning my shirt
"No, I like her. She's fine with me. There aren't any problems"
"That's good…"
"Yeah but Selena didn't introduce me to her until a few weeks ago. I knew she had a sister but I never actually met her. So we don't really know a lot about each other but…" I grabbed the phone and slid my shirt off "…we are trying to get along for the sake of the marriage"
"Is she mean or something?" She's the… best person in the entire world
What the fuck?
"No, no… she's nice and doesn't…" Always "…have an attitude. She's completely different from Selena. Well, she's completely different from her whole family actually"
"Really? Is she like the bad apple?"
"No uh… she just…" I took the phone away from my ear as I pulled off my black wife beater, leaving me shirtless "…she's not… high maintenance"
"Oh so Selena is high maintenance and Sonny isn't?"
"Yeah… wait no. I didn't mean to say that" My mother laughed softly over the phone. I dragged a hand down my face and sighed "Selena's not high maintenance"
"It's okay, sweetheart. I won't say anything" She said in between a laugh "I knew Selena was high maintenance from the moment I looked at her"
"She's not high maintenance, mom. I mean, her whole family is like that and when I say her whole family… I mean her whole family"
"Well, I'll be sure to meet Sonny when we fly out for the engagement party"
"Okay…"
"Alright, I'll talk to you later"
"Bye…" I ended the call and fell forward on my bed. I pulled a pillow underneath my head and groaned loudly. Sonny Monroe has got me so confused about everything but with everything I have… I love Selena. Period. Point Blank.
SONNY POV
"I don't care" I grumbled when James wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and sighed into my hair. We stood in my kitchen as I made us both something to eat "She was being a bitch. I really don't care"
"Sonny…"
"Then she talked about you and I don't like that"
"Sonny…" James tried to get in again "I don't care what your mother or sister say about me"
"Well, I do"
"You shouldn't. It really isn't a big deal to me. I know my financial status. You know my financial status and I may not be where they want me to be but I'm doing well and we're both happy so don't worry about it"
"That's not the point. Why is it that I've been with you for a long time and my father still doesn't like you but Selena gets a guy and he's liked immediately?"
"Aw, are you jealous?" He chuckled "No matter how nice I am to your father, he isn't going to like me so it's not really a big deal to me anymore, Sonny"
"You can't lie to me, James"
"Okay so it is a big deal but my self esteem and ego staying intact has absolutely nothing to do with this" I leaned my head back on his chest and laughed quietly "Don't laugh, I was being serious"
"I just think that…" I felt his hand run through my hair shortly before stopping at my neck "…my father has some personal issues with you. You fixed his car and he still doesn't like you. That car was his baby and he still drives it because of you. That isn't enough for him"
"Baby, its fine" He snickered softly, pushing my hair off my shoulder and placing a kiss there "Why are you getting so worked up?"
"Because, James…" I breathed out heavily and turned around to face him "…he doesn't have a valid reason for not liking you so what the hell is his problem?" He smirked
"You're cute when you're mad"
"Oh my god…" I groaned and narrowed my eyes "Really?" I spat out. He smiled and pressed his lips to mine
"Just… relax because you're getting worked up" I nodded and pulled the collar of his shirt closer to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed me like he did before but for much longer. I giggled lightly when he peck my lips repeatedly and then deepened the kiss. The front door opened but I ignored it, too busy with my boyfriend.
"I know you're home Sonny and I swear that whatever you're thinking about me needs to go out the window before an argument starts" I heard Selena say automatically. Her heels clicked into the kitchen and her foot tapped impatiently. James had no intention on stopping and neither did I "Do you want to break apart so I can talk to my sister?" She said to James but it did nothing "Seriously…"
"Go away…"
"It's the kitchen. A public area in the house. If you wanted to be alone you would've went to your bedroom" I broke away the kiss and looked at her while James sighed heavily
"What?" I blurted out rudely
"Holy shit, you still have an attitude" She threw her hands up and shook her head. Chad walked into the kitchen with his hands in his pockets. "What I said wasn't even that bad" The two guys greeted each other and sat down on the opposite side of the counter
"You're right, Selena. Nothing you ever say is bad… you're just the best person in the entire world" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes "I should worship the ground you walk on, princess"
"God, you're a bitch"
"It wouldn't be the first time I've been called that. I can't believe you're mad at me when you have no right to be. So you know what? I'm sorry for putting you through all that trouble Selena. I'm sorry" She placed her hands on her hips and shrugged
"So that's that?"
"Yeah, I don't want to put any stress on your shoulders. You have a party in a couple of weeks" I looked at her and smiled "You should be as relaxed and calm as possible" She blew air out from her nose and pushed her hair out of her face
"Fine" I avoided a fight that didn't need to happen "Dad's on his way home and we're all having dinner" I wondered where my mom went but my logic was that she dropped Selena off at Chad's and he drove her here while mom went grocery shopping
"Well then I'll guess I'll see you tomorrow…" James stood up and walked around the counter to kiss my cheek.
"I truly meant all as in all six of us" She grabbed his arm when he walked past her. He furrowed his eyebrows at me and pursed his lips
"Are you sure it's not you guys and one of his business associates?" James chuckled nervously
"Yeah, I'm sure he meant you" She clarified and took a beer out of the fridge and opening it before handing it to Chad.
CHAD POV
"Why are you in my room?" Sonny said while she pulled her hair up in a ponytail "Selena or James can walk in here any minute" James went to run out and get Mrs. Monroe some of the groceries she forgot and Selena was helping her mother cook which means she wasn't coming up here
"Can we talk?" I murmured while she tied her hair up and dropped her arms to the side. I walked up next to her and leaned on the dresser she was standing in front of
"About what, Chad?"
"What happened between us"
"Nothing happened between us, Chad. Nothing will ever happen. Why? You have Selena"
That's the thing…
"That isn't what I'm talking about?"
"Then what are you talking about?" She gave a smug smirk and placed her hands on her hips "Are you talking about the BJ or you getting me off with just your fingers?" She moved in front of me and ran her fingers through my hair "Or… are you talking about us… on the couch…" She whispered slowly, turning me on by just looking at me "…or that night in your bed?" She ever slowly trailed her hand down my arm "…how you didn't care if your neighbors heard me- us. My hands woven in your hair…" She fisted my hair tightly and her other rested over my jeans covered member "…when you went lower or my hand into your pants, slowly making you harder" I could feel my heart race when her lips ghosted mine. She smiled and kissed me leisurely. God, she's killing me. "Hold onto those memories because… you'll have Selena to satisfy you" She backed up and pointed to her door. My body was heated and my mind was fucked
What the hell?
"Get out, Chad" She said sweetly
"Always starting something you can't finish, Sonshine" I stood up and backed toward her door. She chuckled lightly and shrugged
"Trust me," I shoved my hands in pockets "I'm just getting started"
"How was work, dad?" Selena asked over her plate of chicken carbonara. Sonny sat quietly next to him while he said absolutely nothing because he didn't want to get on Mr. Monroe's bad side. I couldn't help but stare at Sonny discreetly. Her skin was smooth as hell and her lips were just right and perfectly pink. She pushed her food around her plate and smirked when she lifted her eyes at me. How does she always know I'm looking at her?
Because you're an idiot…
"It was… fine" He answered "We just signed a contract for a new movie"
"Really?" She breathed out.
"Mhm, how was your day, James?" He slowed down on his chewing and looked at Anthony before swallowing his food
"Are you really asking me or…?"
"I'm truly asking you"
"Oh well, it was fine. Hard but fine…"
"It seems like you didn't have long hours today"
"No I um… I didn't. I just went in for a half"
"Whats a half?" I asked
"I have a twelve hour shift so I only went in for six. I was at the new shop filling out permits and papers of that nature"
"Yeah, Sonny told me that you got a managerial position at the new shop that Justin opened up… congratulations" Anthony said to him softly.
"Thank you"
"Maybe now you can tell me what happened to my couch?"
"Fuck it…" Sonny murmured at looked at Selena when Selena looked at her. "Selena threw a pillow at James and made the beer fall out of his hand. It's not his fault. She's acting like a goody two shoes when she's not"
"Is that true?" Her father asked her. She smiled weakly and chuckled nervously.
"A little bit" She croaked out "I'm sorry, daddy. I thought that he had a better grip on it and he didn't. I'm really sorry" He clenched his jaw and huffed
"Its fine, sweetheart" Sonny glared at her father and shook her head with a scoff. I've come to realization that Selena is definitely spoiled and kind of whines like a baby. I never noticed until I actually met Sonny. James put his arm around her chair and rubbed her shoulder softly.
"James…" Sonny whined playfully and rolled over the couch in the entertainment room. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed
"What do you want, woman?" He grumbled and placed his hand over her face. She chuckled and took it off. I can't take this…
"Sonny Monroe, I am sorry" Selena came into the room with her arms folded in front of them. Sonny lifted her head and quirked a brow
"I don't want your apology. Apologize to James…"
"Sonny" He breathed out but she insisted
"I'm sorry, James. I shouldn't have thrown you under the bus like that"
"It's fine, Selena" He gave a small smile and his attention went back to Sonny. Selena sat down next to me and sighed. He kissed her shortly and made her smile. She kissed him again and he pulled her legs onto his lap.
Breathe, Chad…
"Why do you always look like you're thinking so hard?" She patted my shoulder.
I could hear Sonny's small laugh no matter how hard I tried to ignore it. The TV screen played "The Green lantern" but no matter how bad I wanted to ignore it… Sonny's voice was always in my ear. Maybe this feeling is just a phase or maybe it's just her messing with me but it's fucking with my head. I took a deep breath and dragged my hand down my face slowly.
"Chad?" I heard Selena ask again before a small giggle escaped Sonny's lips again. I could see her smile out of the corner of my eye again before she ran her fingers through his hair. My fists curled up in a ball and my jaw clenched harshly. I can't. I kissed Selena's cheek and stood up.
"I have to be alone tonight. I'll see you tomorrow" I walked out immediately without looking back and went straight to my car. I know she'll ask me about what happened tomorrow but I had to get out of there. I couldn't take it. James kissing Sonny… Sonny kissing James. His hands on her… her hands on him. The giggles and looks… just…
You're getting worked up over nothing
Shut the fuck up!
She's not even yours. She's James…
I slammed on the gas and sped home to my condo. I probably would've killed myself by accident if I didn't slow down after a while. When I got to my place, I took off my clothes and dropped on my bed with a major headache. I'm twenty seven years old. I should be smart enough to outsmart someone younger than me. This can't go on like this… I can't do this. My phone made two short beeps on the floor on top of my pants. I got up to answer it and damn near went crazy when I read it
'Couldn't handle it, could you?' – SM
"Fuck" I growled angrily and threw the phone across the room, frustrated with everything.
It broke on impact to the wall.
