Chapter 9: A Kiss
~Sonny's POV
"Chloe wants to get back with you is not sudden. She loves you, Chad." I assured him. To be honest, I was a tad bit jealous.
"Sonny, I don't want to get back with her. She hurt you, and I care about you, you know?" Chad sighed and flipped his hair.
"You care about me?" I asked a little surprised. I've met football players before, and they're mean.
"Of course." Chad smiled.
I blushed a little, but I can't help it! "Thanks. But Chad! J-just tell her how you feel."
"You know what I feel, Munroe?" Chad turned around to face me. "I'm in love with someone else."
I felt my face drop. I didn't know who Chad was in love with, but as long as he's happy and away from Chloe, it's fine. "Then tell Chloe. She'll probably understand."
"Yeah, good idea!" Chad exclaimed. I saw a flashing light bulb above his head. No, that's my imagination. I nodded my head and fake smiled. This was going to be a long and strange friendship.
"Good." I said in a weak and 'convincing' tone.
"You ok?" Chad asked me.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I assured him.
Chad shook my head. "No you're not." He put his hands on my arms. "Look, I promise that there will be no more love interactions between me and Chloe."
I put on a light smile, but I didn't look into his blue eyes, or I'll just melt. "Chad, that's awfully sweet of you to promise that."
"Say no more." Chad smirked.
~Sunday (Sonny's POV)
I woke up to a rainy winter day. Wow, it's already noon. What time did I sleep last night? It was freezing, and since my mom was staying at home, we decided to have lunch at a restaurant together with Tawni, Portlyn, Nico, and Grady. I invited them, and they said yes as fast as possible. I've only known them for less than a week, and I love them!About 30 minutes later, I was all showered up, fresh breathed, and I put on a maroon t-shirt with a guitar on it, faded jeans, and socks. I love wearing socks inside the house! Oh, and my hair was frizzy and curly. That's the way I like it!
I slid down the spiral staircase that led to the living room. My mom was on a big green ball. Apparently, she's doing her daily exercise. I personally think it's disgusting. "Sonny!" She noticed me while she was doing her lifts.
"Mom! You're doing leg lifts again! I'll just go outside." I put on my most 'There's Nothing Weird Going On Right Now!' voice while I told her that.
"Sure! I'll be waiting after I finish!" Then, my mom continued to do her leg lifts.
I felt a barf coming up, but I must hold it. I grabbed a granola bar and ran out the door as fast as I can before she tones her rear end. I slipped on my sneakers and ran down the steps. You know, since Chad and Chance visited my home yesterday, I feel like I should pay them a visit. I ran to his house's porch as fast as I could to avoid getting even colder than I am right now.
When I rang the doorbell, Coach Cooper answered the door with a bucket of chicken wings. "Sonny! Come on, get inside child!"
I nodded and walked in his cinnamon-scented home. "Thanks, Coach. Wow, are you making a cinnamon treat or something?"
"I actually am. It's a new recipe. Try one of my cinnamon fingers!" We went to the kitchen and there were a lot of baked goods instead of just the cinnamon fingers. I took a cinnamon finger and took a bite. It was crunchy, warm, and it just melts in your mouth. Basically, it was the most amazing cookie I've had in years.
"I'm in heaven, Coach." I complimented him.
"I'm flattered, kid." He patted my back.
Aw man! I finished my cookie. "May I have some more, please?" I politely asked him.
"Have as many as you want. One more pan of cookies and I'm back to my easy fit jeans!" Coach Cooper dramatically said. I smiled and took a few more cookies.
About 2 minutes later, Chance and Chad came downstairs and seemed surprised I was here eating their dad's cookies. "Hi boys." I greeted them through all the cookies I was consuming.
Chad smiled. "Hey Sonny. Wha-what brings you here?" Chad asked while taking some cookies.
I shrugged. "Well, I decided to drop by here and pay you a visit. Oh, and Chance, too. But because of these awesome cinnamon fingers, I came for another reason. Why, do you not want me here?"
"No, no! Of course I want you here." Chad replied.
"Nice save." I swept my hair to get a good look at his eyes. Gosh, they are amazing.
"Thanks." Chad replied smirking. "You're looking at my eyes. Why?"
I scoffed. "Psh, no reason!" Chad gave me the look. "Ok, I think they're cute. Sorry if that seems awkward to you."
"It's not awkward. It's cute, kinda like you, Munroe." Aww, Chad complimented me again! "So what are you doing?"
I smiled and crossed my arms. "I'm going to Pizza Palace Buffet with my mom and friends."
"I love that place. They have the best spinach-alfredo pizza." Chad seemed fond of their pizza.
I laughed a little. "Right, right. So what are you doing today?"
"I'm just going to hang out with my family. Maybe tonight we-" Chad's cell phone rang. I rolled my eyes, because EVERYONE knows who is calling.
~Chad's POV
"Excuse me, Sonny." I went out of the kitchen and into the dining room that smells like Chance's hair, which smelled pretty much like watermelon.
I looked at the caller ID, and it was Chloe. I took a deep breath and answered. "What?"
"Chad, it's Chloe!" Chloe said in a horny voice.
"Ugh, stop talking like that." I groaned.
"Why?" Chloe sounded appalled.
"Psh, various reasons why." I replied.
"Look, just one kiss and one drink and I'll be out of your life. I swear." Chloe said.
"I'm not kissing you, and I'm not drinking." I told her. I glanced out the doorway and saw Sonny and Chance watching TV, and dad was reading a sports magazine with his iPod on. I bet it's on high volume.
"I swear I'll be out of your life in a second. Just one kiss." Chloe said in a flirty, unattractive voice.
"NO, I'M NOT KISSING YOU AND I'M NOT DRINKING!" I yelled so loud that Sonny and Chance heard. My dad was still dancing to his iPod. Thank God he didn't hear. I hung up and smiled nervously.
Sonny got up from the couch, walked over to where I am, and shut the door. "What is all this about kissing and drinking, Chad?"
I shook my head. "Nothing. Look, I'm not kissing her. I'd rather kiss someone else." I smirked attractively.
Sonny's frown turned even worse. "Oh. You promise you'll kiss her rather than Chloe?"
"Of course. You know I want to kiss that girl right now." I assured her. Sonny sighed, and it didn't seem like a relief sigh. She must obviously think I'm in love with someone else. I'm in love with her!
"Ok. I'm glad. Anyways, I have to go." Sonny put a fake smile on her face and headed for the door. I followed behind her.
"Sonny, wait." I tried to stop her before she closed the door.
"Bye Chad." Sonny was really sad, obviously. She closed the door behind her, and watched as she ran back to her house. I have to assure her I'm in love with her.
~1 Hour Later (Chad's POV)
I'll regret this later, but I called Chloe to meet me at Pizza Palace Buffet. Of course, she's bringing some of her nutty, anorexic friends. I was supposed to meet them in 13 minutes, so I hopped in my convertible and got the heck out of my house. Chance wanted to go, but his puppy eyes don't win me over! Well, sometimes they do. I told him that it was going to get pretty crazy if he came, so he went to the movies with my dad instead.
--Moments Later
When I pulled up at the spot, I saw a pink car with Chloe and her friends in it. I rolled my eyes and called over them. Of course, Chloe was the first one to notice me, and she ran to hug me. It's funny how she could run in heels like that.
"Chloe, please get off me." I patted her back lightly and pulled away.
~With Sonny, Sonny's mom, Tawni, Portlyn, Nico, and Grady (Sonny's POV)
Chad was right! They do serve the best spinach-alfredo pizza! I munched on my slice and talked with everyone, and later, we're going to play in the arcade!
"Ok, so when I was young, I saw the yummiest-looking pea soup! When I tried it, I found out it was spinach from the drain in my sink from two weeks ago with other rotten food!" Grady told all of us. Everyone burst up with laughter, including me. That was priceless!
"Sonny, your turn to tell a story!" Tawni exclaimed. Everyone gave their attention to me, and their pizzas, of course. I had to think of one quick before my mom tells another one of those baby stories.
"Well, I was in this karaoke party back in Wisconsin, and I sang a song I wrote myself. When it was my turn to perform, I got stage fright because I thought my song was lame." I started off.
Everyone was shocked. I don't know why. "Sing some part of it for us!" Portlyn insisted.
"B-b-bu-but-" I stuttered.
My mom playfully rolled her eyes. "Come on, baby girl. Surely you remember the lyrics." She pepped me.
I sighed and smiled. "Well, if you insist." I cleared my throat. "This is the chorus."
My world is falling apart
But I know who you are
If you believe you'll find your wish
Upon a star
This is love
Please don't go away
No not today
Because everything isn't right
No everything's not right
I sighed. "So what do you guys think?" I asked everyone at the table. After that, a round of applause was given to me from everyone in the restaurant! Wow, I should probably sing softer.
Portlyn smiled intensely at me. "Sonny, you have an amazing voice!"
"That's my girl!" My mom joined in.
"You're fabulous!" Tawni commented.
"Agreed!" Nico and Grady exclaimed in unison.
Then, the clapping was all gone. "Thanks everyone!" I yelled to the whole restaurant. I got up from my chair to get more pizza. When I went to grab a plate, I saw Chad, Chloe, and a bunch of skinny girls. "Hey!"
Chad noticed me and smirked. "Sonny, hi!"
I chuckled. "What are you guys doing here?"
Chloe scoffed. "I'm here on a date with Chad."
I smiled. "It doesn't seem like it with all your friends."
"Shut up!" Chloe remarked. My 'I'm Trying To Be Nice' smile disappeared. "It doesn't matter. I'm still on a date with my Chad." I looked at Chad who had an 'I'm Sorry' face. I smiled and gave him a 'Don't Worry About It' face. "So get lost, Munroe. I'm on a quest to date Chad and eat…carbs."
I shrugged. "And I'm still on my quest to get spinach-alfredo pizza." I turned around and rolled my eyes. I'm glad all that was over.
~30 Minutes Later (Sonny's POV)
"Come on, Nico! You can do it!" I pepped him up while he was playing skee ball. "Be the ball, be the ball."
Nico sighed and gained focus. "I am the ball." He rolled the ball and it landed in the 2400 hole, the highest in this situation. "Yes!" Nico and I high-fived. Then, the machine gave Nico 100 tickets! "Papa wants a yo-yo!" Nico said.
I chuckled and saw Chad coming over here with a few quarters. I walked towards him with crossed arms. "So Chad."
Chad turned around and seemed pleasant to see me. "Hey Sonny!"
"How's everything going, Chad?" I asked him.
Chad shrugged. "It's going well except for the fact that Chloe and her awful friends refuse to eat pizza. They're sticking to the salad bar. How's everything going for you?"
"Oh, we're having loads of fun! And about the little talk at your house earlier, I'm sorry for just leaving like that." I softly spoke to him.
"It's ok. I just feel a little bad that you misunderstood something." Chad replied.
I was confused. "What did I misunderstand? That promise? Are you still keeping it?"
"Yes, I'm still keeping the promise. But no, that's not it. It's about the girl I'm in love with. The truth is that-" Chad was interrupted by Chloe.
"Chad, I am hungry, and they do not serve low-fat pizza here. Because of that, I want you to come back to the table and entertain me and my friends." Chloe demanded. I rolled my eyes as she dragged Chad back to the table.
I sighed and went to Tawni and Portlyn who were trying to beat each other at virtual tag. So far, Tawni was winning. "Eat laser shots, you animal!" Tawni yelled.
"Not until I win back what's mine, and that's my AMMO!" Portlyn responded.
Now that was cute. I went back to our table. Of course, I wanted some more pizza. I'm still not full, haha! I went to the buffet and grabbed about as much macaroni and cheese pizza I could get. They were out of spinach-alfredo.
~Chad's POV
"Chloe, I can't." She wanted me to kiss her.
"Just a peck, Chad. Then we'll stop bothering you." Chloe reassured me.
"I made a promise to Sonny." I told Chloe who was too stubborn to understand my feelings for her.
"Who cares about Sonny?" Chloe harshly remarked.
I sighed. "Just one peck."
"Good." Chloe smirked. We leaned in at about the same time, and I pecked her lips lightly. When I was about to pull away, she put her arms around my neck, pushed my head towards her head, and started making out with me. I could've pulled away, but her stupid friends were behind me, and if I even tried to get out of her arms, they would push me back.
~Sonny's POV
Ok, I was done getting all that pie goodness. I turned around to walk back to my table, but what I saw was devastating. No, it was not Nico dancing, but it was Chad kissing Chloe. I felt an arrow go through my heart.
"He promised." I whispered to myself with sadness.
Aww. Poor Sonny :(
