Chapter Nine

:.:.:.:.:

So, here I am in Sonny, and Tawni's dressing room. With a pacing Tawni walking around the room, trying to figure out what to do with me. Yes, I went to Tawni for help. Who else would I go for that is close to Sonny? Definitely not that weirdo who crawls in the vents, or any of the guys that's on her show.

I told Tawni everything, and everything I'm feeling for Sonny. She didn't seem to mind at all. She seemed, happy?

Anyways, she keeps pacing back in fourth. If I didn't know any better, I would of thought the carpet beneath her would have a big hole through it. She kept muttering things, I couldn't make-out.

"Okay, let me get this straight...you sneak around the studios to kiss her, and, you just now feel these feelings?" She asked starring at me.

"Uh yeah, pretty much." I said shrugging.

"Oh. My. Gosh. Chad Dylan Cooper is in love!" She said smiling like a maniac.

In love? Whoa, back it up. I couldn't possibly be in love with Sonny Munroe. I mean, sure she has beautiful, soft, long, precious hair. And, a perfect curvy body, and maybe she smells very sweet, like a sweet strawberry. Her laugh, wow her laugh, it's just perfect. She laughs so freely. Oh, and her smile. That smile is one-of-a-kind. Her teeth are like little pearls that shine as bright as the sun, to match her sunny personality, and that sunny name of hers. Maybe it is love.

I Chad Dylan Cooper love, Sonny Munroe.

That's not to bad to say at all. It makes me shiver to think about the thought of saying it to her. Not in a bad way, but a good way.

"Hello? Chad? Oh this is hopeless you need to concentrate!" Tawni said throwing her hands in the air. Sure Tawni can be a airhead sometimes but, when it comes to romance, she is a genius.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" I asked snapping back to reality.

"I said, we need to do something that will blow Sonny away." She said.

"Duh! Why do you think I came to you for help?" I said, as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Okay, whatever. Now, first you need to ask her on a date. The date has to be the most wonderful date in the world. It can't be forgotten. It has to be a girl's fairytale date, with her prince taking her on it. It has to be-" Tawni didn't finish because, I cut her off.

"Okay, I get it. It has to be romantic, and unforgettable." I said summing it up.

"Right. Now, I have the perfect way to help you out." Tawni said walking towards me smiling.

"Here's what you will do..." She said starting off with the plan.

0o0o0o0o0

I can't believe I'm going through with this. Tawni gave me some option plans to follow through with but, I pretty much set up the whole date. So, Tawni only deserves partial credit.

I'm wearing a dark blue shirt, with a black jacket, and dark blue jeans with black shoes. Tawni told me Sonny loves seeing me wear blue because, it brings out my eyes. Tawnitold me I should ask Sonny out by going to her house. She said she would get Sonny dressed, and ready for me. So, I allowed her to work on Sonnys image.

So, here I am in front of the girl I loves' door. I'm so nervous for some reason. I hope she doesn't just open the door up in my face, laugh at me, and slam it. I decided to take a chance, and I rang her doorbell.

"Coming!" I heard her yell. I stood there, fixing my jacket, and hair. Then, she opened up the door, and looked absolutely stunning.

She was wearing, a strapless dress that ended a few inches above her knees. The dress was white, with big blue flowers on it. She also had blue flat shoes to match it. The blue coloring matched my blue shirt.

I was completely speechless, and Sonny just stood there with a confused look on her face. I cleared my throat, for an attempt to talk.

"Hey Sonny." I managed to get out.

"Hey Chad, not trying to be mean but, why are you here?" She said confused. Ah, the moment of truth.

I stood up straight, looked her in the eyes to ask her out.

"Well, I was wondering if you, would go out with me tonight, on a date?" I asked gulping loud after I said it.

Her face soften, and she looked me in the eyes, and sensed my nervousness.

"Well, you did come all the way out here to ask me so, sure." She said smiling. I let out a breath that I had been holding in. Sure I asked plenty of girls out but, Sonny is different. She is like no other girl. She's a good different. A different I'm madly attracted to.

"Let me just get my purse, and we can go." She said walking into her house to get her purse. I just stood there, with my hands in my pockets. She came back a minute later with her purse. She stepped out of her apartment, locked her door, and followed me to my car. I opened the door for her then, walked to my side to start the car.

"Wow, I like this Chad. He is so caring, and sweet." Sonny said smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile too.

"Only for someone special." I said, starting the car.

"So, where are we going?" She asked.

"It's a surprise." I told her smoothly.

"Fine, be that way." She said crossing her arms.

"Fine, I will be that way." I said smirking at her immaturity.

"Good." She muttered.

"Good." I said still smirking.

I headed off to the beach where our date would be held.

:.:.:.:.:

Okay, so I'm sitting in Chad's car waiting for our date to begin. Tawni came over my house earlier, and made me pretty, she said something special was going to happen. So, I guess by special, she meant Chad.

Chad pulled up, at a deserted beach.

"Uh Chad, why isn't anyone else here?" I asked him. He didn't answer, he got out of the car, and came over to my side, and opened the door for me.

"You'll see, just follow me, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself." He said smiling.

I didn't say anything else. He took my hand into his, and there went another bolt of tingles through my body. I didn't pull away. He just smiled down at me, and I returned it.

We started to walk down the beach, while talking, and laughing. Then, a half-an-hour later Chad took me to a pier, that was in the deep side of the ocean, and there was a boat tied to it.

"Okay, so I know you told me you hated boats but, I promise you, you'll love this." He told me leading me towards the boat. I hated boat's because, when I first got on one, the ocean was so bad, and had so many waves it made the boat flip on my mom, and I.

"Are you sure Chad?" I asked quietly.

"Trust me Sonny, I'll always protect you." He said looking into my eyes.

After he said that, I believed him. I got in the boat slowly, and Chad followed behind.

The boat was big enough so, you could walk around in it. There was no one to steer the boat so, I turned to look at Chad confused.

"Chad? Who's going to steer the boat?" I asked him.

"Me, silly." He said chuckling. I was shocked. Chad Dylan Cooper knows how to steer a boat.

"Wow, I hope you keep up on your word, that you will always protect me." I said, walking to a bench that was off to the side of the boat.

Chad steered the boat out into the ocean. It was nighttime so, the only thing you could see was the boat's dimmed lighting along the side, and the moonlight. It was pretty romantic.

After ten minutes, we were far enough away from the pier that we could barely see it. So, Chad caused the boat to stop, and tied it to a stick that was sticking out of the water. Then, he came over, and sat next to me.

"So, how do you like it? Are you still afraid?" He asked me. Of course I was afraid, why wouldn't I be.

"Uh, no." I said with my denial high-pitched voice.

"Relax Sonny, I promise you everything will be okay." Chad said wrapping his arms around my shoulders. All my sudden worries went away after he pulled me close to him. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I guess." I said softly, breathing in his familiar scent.

After we sat there for a few more minutes, Chad's watch let out a light beep to signal something. Chad let go of me, and looked at his watch. I felt cold without his arm around me.

"Okay Sonny, come with me." Chad said taking my hand, and walking to the other side of the boat. We both sat down on the bench, that was cold from the night-air. He put his arm back around me, and pulled me close.

"Now, look up." He told me softly. I looked up, and saw a night-sky but, suddenly there was a loud whistle sound, and a big fireworks went off in the sky. Then, multiple fireworks went off, with each color of the rainbow in them. I was in a dazed starring at them.

"Chad, it's beautiful." I said softly.

"Wait, there is more," He told me. I was confused but, soon enough a huge firework went off, and it was absolutely breath-taking.

It was yellow, shaped like a sun, and had Sonny written in it. I was holding back a tear begging to fall. I don't know why I wanted to cry but, it was something no guy has ever done for me.

"Chad," I managed to say but, he put his finger on my lips, and smiled at me.

"Time for talking is over." He said. Then, he brought his lips down to mine but, before he could his phone rang loudly. He sighed loudly, and wipped his phone out quickly.

"What?!" He said harshly to the person on the other line.

"Excuse me," He said walking away to take the call.

Moments later, my phone rang as well. I got it out to answer the call.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Sonny? It's your mother. Where are you? It's eleven pm, and your not home. I got home earlier today, and you weren't here! Where are you young lady?!" My mom asked harshly.

"I'm sorry mom, just hanging out with a friend." I told her.

"Well, get you butt home. I want to spend some time with my daughter." She said.

"I'll be home soon. Bye." I said sighing. I didn't let her return the bye because, I turned my phone off. I was angry, I can't even finish my date.

Chad returned next to my side with a smile on his face.

"Sorry for the interruption. Listen Sonny, I have to tell you something important." Chad said nervously.

"I'm sorry Chad, I have to get home. My mom was freaking out when she came home, and found me not there." I told him.

He let out a sad sigh, and went back over to the steering wheel.

"It's okay, what can you do, they're parents." He said quietly.

Chad went back to the pier, tied the boat, and helped me out. We both walked back to his car, and he drove me home.

He walked me to my door, and we both turned to look at each other.

"I really had a good time Chad. I'm really sorry I had to cut it short." I told him looking at my feet. He put his hand under my chin, and pulled my face up so, I looked into his eyes.

"Don't worry yourself Sonny, I had a great time too. Don't worry about it." He told me starring into my eyes.

"So, what did you want to tell me earlier on the boat?" I asked him.

"Oh uh, I'll just tell you tomorrow." He said quickly.

"Oh okay, well goodnight." I said smiling at him.

"Goodnight." He said bringing his lips down to mine but, then the door flew open, right before he could kiss me.

"Sonny Munroe! You get your butt in this house! You were out with a boy half the night? I told you to behave yourself but, do you listen? No." My mom said freaking out.

"Mom calm down. I went on a date with Chad. Please stop worrying." I told her.

"Alright but, get to bed it's after twelve now." Mom mom said calming down.

I mouthed Chad goodnight, and went to my room.

I laid on my bed, to relive the night. I can honestly say, that was the best date of my life. But, I thought about something that bothered me.

What was so important that Chad wanted to tell me, that made him nervous? There's one thing that Chad Dylan Cooper does not feel, and that's nervousness.
