Okay, I know, to most of you the tension is getting old. But I just love it :D Anyways, I understand what you're saying. And although they don't kiss in this chapter... I can tell you that everyone should be excited for the next chapter. :D

This part is important, and it does get pretty steamy in the photoshoot... I was pushing the boundary of the T rating just a teeny bit. It's not really that bad. :D Let me know what you think, reviews are amazing!

.:.:.:.:.:.

Sonny would've fallen completely off of the couch when she jumped awake, due to her cell phone ringing, if it wasn't for Chad's arm holding her securely in place.

She reached over to the coffee table and cleared her throat quickly, "Hello?"

"Is this Allison Monroe?" The voice on the other line questioned.

Sonny raised an eyebrow, "Um.. Yes it is. Who is this?"

"I'm your photographer for today." He continued, "There's been a switch in schedules, I'm going to take pictures of you both in Central Park before your interview."

"Oh!" Sonny smiled, "Of course, we'll be there whenever you need us to be."

The photographer laughed, "Alright Miss. Monroe, I'll meet you there in an hour."

Sonny said goodbye and turned to a sleeping Chad. She was about to shake him awake when she noticed that her shirt had ridden up during the night and her stomach was touching Chad's.

She blushed at the feeling of his muscled abs against her flat stomach.

Sonny closed her eyes briefly as she fought to control herself, "Chad?" Her arm reached out to shake his shoulders, "Chad - we have to be at Central Park in an hour."

His eyes snapped open, "An hour?! Why? It's only eight in the morning."

"Change of schedules." Sonny got up from the couch and tugged the bottom of her shirt down, "I'm going to get dressed, go take a shower."

"Are you saying I smell?"

Sonny shook her head, "No, but you always take a shower before we go somewhere."

Chad nodded and headed off towards the bathroom. Sonny grabbed something to wear and hurriedly dressed so that Chad wouldn't walk out with her in only underwear.

Almost half an hour later, they were walking through the city to get to Central Park.

Chad reached over to grab Sonny's hand, and she looked up at him, her cheeks turned pink. He smirked as they walked down the sidewalk towards a newspaper stand.

"C-Chad?" She exclaimed, her eyes widened at the sight in front of her.

Chad looked over at the magazine stand, "What's wrong…." He took in the many magazines and newspapers with pretty much the same picture on all of them. "Is that… it can't be.."

"No." Sonny shook her head, "That's us. That's my pea coat, and your jacket."

Chad turned to the person working at the counter, "Can I buy this newspaper?" The guy nodded and took Chad's money, his eyes narrowing as he tried to figure out why Chad looked so familiar.

Chad and Sonny kept walking as Chad read the front page article with shock.

"Hollywood's new itcouple were seen holding hands while wondering around the big apple… Chad Dylan Cooper was also seen holding her close as they walked through Central Park, occasionally whispering something in her ear."

Sonny's eyes widened, "What!? Let me see!" She grabbed the newspaper and continued to read, "The new couple is also rumored to be sharing the same hotel suite for the month they will be in NYC… who knows what's going on behind the closed door!? Are they implying that we're…sleeping together?"

Chad's jaw dropped at the words and his brain went into panic. Sure, the media thought that he was having sex with the girls from Mackenzie Falls - even though he wasn't- but if they were thinking Sonny Monroe was having sex with him, it made him mad. She was the most innocent girl that he had ever known that lives in Hollywood.

The media was twisting her life down a different path, and she wouldn't be the innocent, sweet, confident new girl anymore… because of him.

She looked up at him, waiting for him to comment and Chad cleared his throat, "Sonny, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make it seem like-"

Sonny stopped walking and put her hands on her hips, "Chad Dylan Cooper, this is not just your fault! I'm partially to blame, and it's not like they know if any of this stuff is true."

"But we are sharing the same suite, and we were holding hands in Central Park. They have pictures, and now they're going to be looking more."

Sonny frowned, "Then let them take the pictures and write lies Chad. Who's it going to hurt?"

Me, I want them to be real. Chad shrugged, "I don't know."

"Right, so if it's not hurting anyone, then why should we worry about this?"

"You're right!" He exclaimed and they started walking again, "If Chad Dylan Cooper wants to hold Sonny Monroe's hand, then he will!" Sonny blushed as people around them started staring, star struck as they passed by. Chad gave her a lopsided grin and continued with a softer voice, "And I want to hold your hand Sonny Monroe."

She smiled happily as he reached over to re-connect their hands.

Within minutes they were at the park, and Sonny pointed to a small truck that was parked near the entrance. Camera equipment lay scattered on the sidewalk near the truck, and they walked over to it.

"Hello, I'm Sonny Monroe." She stated to the person sitting in the truck.

"Ah! Just the girl I'm looking for to take photos of." The photographer shook her hand, then turned to Chad with a questioning look, "And you sir?"

Chad jumped, "Oh! I'm Chad Dylan Cooper."

The photographer shook his hand then gasped, "Wait, you're from Mackenzie Falls aren't you?!"

Chad blushed, "Yeah, I am."

"Holy Mother of Film! It is you!" He exclaimed happily, "You absolutely have to sign something for my daughter, she's practically in love with you."

Sonny bit her lip as jealousy hit her hard, she tried to ignore it, but as Chad signed a film canister for the photographer's daughter, she just couldn't get rid of the feeling in her heart.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Chad again, studying his face as he concentrated on signing his name, and she couldn't believe what she was feeling.

If she was jealous of someone else loving Chad, then it meant she loved Chad herself.

She couldn't be in love with Chad, it just couldn't work. If there was anything she felt towards Chad, it had to be just lust. She herself couldn't deny the fact that he was gorgeous.

She smiled as she told herself that was the case. She wasn't in love with Chad, it was just lust.

.:.:.:.:.:.

An half-hour into the photo shoot, Sonny smiled into the camera from where she was sitting on one of the fountains, and the photographer snapped away.

Chad looked on from behind the camera, and chuckled when she almost fell off the ledge of the fountain and into the water.

The photographer put his camera down, "Okay Mrs. Monroe, time for Chad to get his turn."

Sonny giggled and walked over to where Chad was standing. "Beat that Chad Dylan Cooper."

"With pleasure Monroe." He rolled his eyes and took a seat on the side of the fountain, doing different poses towards the camera as the photographer captured them.

"We need something new, your alone shots are just not exciting."

Chad raised his eyebrow at the photographer, clearly the man was crazy. He didn't need anything new to make good photographs.

"How bout you join him, Sonny?" The photographer asked while putting a new memory card in his camera.

Well that could definitely help. Chad grinned and nodded, as Sonny made her way to the edge of the fountain. She glared at him as he gave her a smirk.

An assistant walked over and pulled Sonny closer to Chad, and positioned her in front of him, standing between his legs.

"He's not going to bite you honey, lean closer to him." The assistant grinned as Sonny blushed.

"I'm not that bad to be around, Monroe." Chad exclaimed as Sonny stood rigidly in front of him, "Just relax."

Sonny nodded and leaned closer towards him, and rested a hand on his shoulder.

The assistant brought her other hand to his chest, "Grab his tie with your right hand… just like that."

As the pictures were taken, Sonny blushed as she looked down into Chad's blue eyes. Chad looked back into hers with passion, and put his outside hand on her waist when the photographer told him to.

"Monroe, make him weak in the knees. We need more chemistry between you two." The photographer exclaimed impatiently from behind his camera.

Sonny smirked as she moved her hand that was on his shoulder to his hair, and combed her hand through his locks, Chad's eyes closed briefly at the feeling, then he smirked himself.

His hand on her waist moved down to her thigh then slowly back up to her hip, following the curve of her body. Sonny's breath caught in her throat, and she had to close her own eyes in pleasure.

"Alright, great chemistry." The photographer grinned from behind his camera.

Sonny's eyes widened and she stepped away quickly, "Ah, thanks. Can we um… try a different pose now?"

Chad bit his lip to stop the smirk that was trying to take over his face, "Too intense for you Monroe?"

Sonny whirled around and put her hand on her hip while she smirked, "Of course not Chad, but you on the other hand, were having some issues."

Chad let out a sarcastic laugh, "Sure Monroe, whatever you say."

The photographer chuckled, "Okay, we'll just need a few more. Can you both get along for a few more minutes?"

Sonny narrowed her eyes at Chad, "Yeah Chad, can you handle that?"

"I'm always up for a challenge with you…Allison."

Sonny ignored the way his voice sounded huskier when he spoke her name, and forced a smile on her face.

"Follow me, Chad sit against the tree." The photographer exclaimed, as Sonny and Chad jumped at the harsh tone. Chad nodded wildly and quickly sat down against the trunk of the tree.

Chad decided the whole 'don't tell me what to do,' speech wasn't going to work on the man, and kept his mouth shut.

The assistant pushed Sonny towards Chad and sat her down in front of him, her back leaned against his chest. Sonny let out a sigh trying to get rid of her nerves as she turned her head to face Chad.

"Just like that Miss. Monroe." The photographer smiled.

Chad put his arms around her waist and smiled down at her. Sonny's own lips curved up into a smile.

"Now, put one hand under her chin Chad." The photographer motioned to Chad, and he put his hand under her chin, tipping it up more to look him straighter in the eyes.

Sonny closed her eyes softly, one look at his sparkly blue eyes would cause her to lunge at him.

"Great." The assistant smiled and grabbed Sonny's hand, pulling her up to stand. Sonny blinked quickly in surprise as the assistant turned her around to face Chad, "Sit on his lap, facing him."

Both Chad and Sonny looked at the assistant with shock, eyes wide, "What do you m-"

"Just straddle him Sonny." The assistant nudged Sonny closer.

Sonny prayed that Chad didn't see how red her cheeks were as she awkwardly sat down in Chad's lap, her knees on either side of his waist.

Chad didn't notice at the moment as he was trying to think about anything but how Sonny was pressed against him.

Oh God, someone is trying to kill me. Keep it in check Chad, think about anything but Sonny.

"Try not to squeeze your eyes shut, Chad." The photographer chuckled.

Chad blushed as Sonny giggled quietly. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes to look at Sonny, her cheeks just as red.

Something inside him was growing, and he felt a need for Sonny he had never experienced before. He had to concentrate hard not to let himself get himself into a situation that would defiantly be weird, for both of them.

But fate had other plans as Sonny's hands landed on his chest and she locked eyes with him. His jaw clenched as his breath hitched and his eyes filled with lust.

Sonny's eyes fought to stay open, as her insides lit on fire. She wanted so badly to lean down and kiss him, for his hands that were on her hips to move up her torso.

"Alright, that's a wrap."

Sonny jumped and quickly stood up, her cheeks flaming red as she tried to steady her breathing. Chad bit his lip when she jumped in surprise and fought to keep himself from reacting to how her body had pushed onto his own.

Sonny watched as he stood up slowly, his eyes shut tight, and smirked. She walked over to him and let her hands rest on his chest, Chad's eyes snapped open.

"Too intense for you Chad?" She whispered, and waited for his reaction.

Chad let out a frustrated sigh, "Sonny I-"

"We have an interview to go to!" Sonny exclaimed, looking at her cell phone, before dragging Chad to the exit of the park.

Chad let out a breath of air he didn't know he was holding in, thanking god that Sonny had stopped him before he continued his sentence. He was caught up in lust, and was about to tell Sonny he was in love with her.

He had been ignoring it for too long, and although he was nervous to admit it, he knew that it wouldn't be long before he had to tell Sonny what he felt.

.:.:.:.:.:.

Don't hate me for not letting them kiss. It's coming soon, this was the breaking point for Chad. He knows he loves her, and he's going to tell her very very soon :D

And Also kiss her.

Review please :D
