9. Autumn
Chad looked around Mackenzie Falls lounge and sighed contently. It was his second house after all, it felt good to be back. While Chris and Caitlyn were excited to go back to school he was excited to go back to work. He grabbed his duffle bag and wandered around the desert hallways of stage 2. Like every year, he was the first to arrive the studio after summer break. He entered his dressing room and dumped the bag on an armchair near the closet.
Stretching his arms Chad smiled and looked through the window. Summer was over now and it was replaced by Autumn. The leaves of the tree in front of his dressing room were now yellow. He loved this time of the year. He could even call it his favorite season of the year. Chad didn't know why though, he just felt connected with it.
After taking all the Mackenzie Falls uniforms from his duffle bag and some casual clothes and hang them on the closet he felt like having hot chocolate. Chad knew that Brenda wasn't there yet but he could do it by himself as long as anyone saw him, because Chad Dylan Cooper does not cook or does anything that looks like it and that included making hot chocolate.
Whistling quietly he walked to the cafeteria, hands in pockets. The cafeteria was desert as he expected it to be except for a petite brunette with her back turned to him. Apparently he wasn't the only one at the studio and now he couldn't have his hot chocolate. Chad frowned at the sudden realization.
Chad sighed and prepared to leave when a familiar perky voice caught his attention. He looked up to see a pair of sweet chocolate brown eyes staring at him.
"Hey Chad." Sonny greeted.
"Hi..." he greeted back taking a seat.
Sonny walked to him with a foaming cup on her hands. She set down the cup and the smell of chocolate invaded his nostrils.
"I was just making hot chocolate," Sonny informed sitting across of him "I made enough for two. Want some?" she asked smiling.
Chad looked up and nodded.
"Sure." He replied.
Sonny walked to the balcony were she was previous standing and filled another cup with the brown substance. She walked back to the table and pushed the cup to Chad.
"I thought I was the only here." She commented taking a sip of her hot chocolate.
Chad nodded taking a sip of the best hot chocolate he had ever tasted.
"Me too," He replied "I'm always the first to get here after summer break."
Sonny cocked an eyebrow.
"What about your fashionably late?" she asked.
"Well I don't like to be 'fashionably late' for work. I really like what I do." Chad shrugged.
Sonny smiled.
"Me too, when I was little I dreamed that someday I'd be a TV star and I guess my dream came true."
Chad took another sip of the hot chocolate closing his eyes thinking that if he did it, it would taste even better. He set down the cup and glanced over at Sonny, who was covering her mouth with her hand with an amused expression.
"This is the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted." Chad informed her.
Sonny didn't reply, just giggled. He looked at her confused. He had just complimented her and she giggled?
"What?" he asked shrugging.
"Oh... Nothing really... It's just... You look cute with a mustache." Sonny answered laughing.
His eyes widened and he quickly cleaned his face with a napkin. Chad felt his cheeks burning. What the hell is wrong with me?, he thought. Chad Dylan Cooper does not blush.
"Sorry about that." He apologized and a smirk crept to his face "Did you just said I looked cute?"
Sonny almost choked on her hot chocolate.
"Psh... No!" she replied, her voice reaching really high notes.
Chad smirk grew bigger.
"Yes you did!" He laughed.
"And you complimented my hot chocolate." Sonny spat defensibly.
"Touché." Chad agreed.
There was silence during which both of them finished their hot chocolate. Chad started playing with his cup and Sonny looked at him curiously.
"So..." she said breaking the silence.
Chad looked up.
"So..." he mimicked looking straight at her eyes.
The tension between them increased every second until Chad couldn't take it any longer. His face started moving towards Sonny and stopped a few inches away from her lips. He could feel Sonny's sharp quick breathing on his lips. She closed her eyes and Chad's eyes shot close too. As their lips lingered closed almost touching Chad's phone went of causing the teens to sat straight in their chairs. With red taking over both of their faces they looked in opposite directions embarrassed.
Chad read the text from Portlyn asking where he was and shoved his phone back to his pocket.
"I guess... I should be going..." He said.
"Yeah... Me too..." Sonny agreed getting up.
With one last glance Sonny exited the cafeteria leaving Chad alone. He sank on his plastic chair blinking.
"I can't believe I almost kissed Sonny Monroe." He muttered quietly.
A/N: So? What do you think? :)
