Acting Out: Chapter 10

"Chad, I've missed you so much!" His mother exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug.

"I've missed you too." The actor responded as his mother let go of him so he could give his father a quick hug.

"And Sonny dear, you are looking quite beautiful."

"Thanks, Julia." Sonny said, hugging his mum also.

"It's been a while." His dad commented.

"It has." Sonny agreed as they all re-sat down at their table.

Sonny knew his parents; they had met the last time they dated.

"So tell us how this all started, how you two got back together." His mum instructed them once their meals had arrived to their tables.

He looked over at Sonny who gladly answered, "We caught up one night for dinner after filming all day and things kinds of escalated from there. The feelings were still there, it was undeniable."

"I can't believe you got married and we weren't invited." His dad sighed.

"It was just us really." Chad defended himself, not wanting to hurt his parents.

Dinner went on and Chad could tell Sonny was completely at ease with his parents.

"Why don't you come back for some coffee at our place?" Sonny proposed once they all finished desert.

"Why of course. We'd love to." His mum instantly agreed.

Sonny and Chad were waiting for the valet to bring out Chad's car for them and the paparazzi were out watching them again.

Chad was a little caught off-guard when Sonny wrapped her arms around his neck rather affectionately.

The Hollywood heartthrob didn't hesitate in pressing his lips against his starlet's forehead, fully knowing that it would be caught on camera.

He grinned as Sonny lowered her arms, wrapping them around his middle as she rested her head on his chest.

It wasn't until the valet brought out his car, that Sonny let go off him. For some strange reason, Chad felt disappointed as soon as she did.

He opened the car door for Sonny and helped her in the car before getting into it himself and beginning to drive home.

"Thank you for doing this...even if you did go behind my back and arrange dinner with my parents."

"You're welcome." The actress giggled as Chad carefully manoeuvred his car out onto the road so he wouldn't hit any paparazzi.

He glanced over at her occasionally as they drove through the streets of Hollywood, making their way back home.

Chad's parents somehow didn't beat the pair back to the apartment, so Chad quickly dragged Sonny upstairs knowing that his parents would be there at any moment.

Sure enough, within a minute of them being upstairs, Chad's parents knocked on the front door.

"Come in." Chad called out, instantly wrapping his arms around Sonny from behind and leaning down to kiss her neck softly.

"Save that for when we leave." His father laughed, coming in and spotting the two.

Sonny let out a giggle and excused herself, "I'm just going to go freshen up. I'll be right back."

Chad watched her walk off down the hall into the bathroom, her dark hair shining under the light.

"Chad." He was snapped out of his little trance by his mother, a smile planted on her face, "You really do love her...I've never seen you look so happy."

"Yeah, I do..." He trailed off, not so sure as to why he agreed to it immediately.

...

"You know, you should have a huge Hollywood wedding as well." The brunette's mother-in-law proposed as they drank their coffee.

Sonny set her cup down on the coffee table and let out a smile, "I think that would be a good idea. That is if you are up to it." She said to her husband.

"Of course I am, although we shouldn't plan anything until our shows are wrapped up for the season."

Sonny nodded, that would buy them some time. When their shows did finish for the season, they would just come up with an excuse to put it off longer, until the six months were up so they could get a divorce.

"We couldn't be at the first wedding. But I think the second one will make up for it as long as you do promise us grandchildren one day."

Sonny fought back a giggle as Chad almost choked on the sip of coffee he had in his mouth.

"One day we may have children, when the time is right." The brunette said, amused at Chad's reaction.

"Don't let your careers get in the way," Her father-in-law advised them, setting down his own cup of coffee, "We do want grandchildren before you two are forty."

Sonny felt the corners of her lips curl up, turning into a wider smile.

The thought of having kids one day made her happy, she loved kids and couldn't wait to have them one day when she was in a real marriage.

"Sure, dad." Chad replied, giving Sonny a smile.

Sonny felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, she swore she felt a little nervous yet couldn't quite understand why.

After Chad's parent's left, Sonny didn't hesitate in unzipping her dress as she made her way to the bedroom with Chad hot at her heels.

"Need help?" Chad asked, referring to her getting her dress off.

Sonny rolled her eyes playfully at him in response, grabbing her pyjamas and walking into the bathroom to get changed in private.

She still had that feeling in the bottom of her stomach.

...

On Sunday, Chad was woken up by Sonny at a more reasonable hour.

"You and I have that movie premiere in a few days. I need to go shopping for a dress."

"Why do you need me?" He yawned.

"You and me out and about will look good."

"Okay." He relented, yawning again.

"Get up and get dressed." Sonny instructed him, throwing a pair of jeans at him as she laughed.

Chad did as he was told and got up, grinning as he caught Sonny checking him out.

"Do I need to put on a shirt so you stop staring at me?" He teased, slipping the aforementioned jeans on.

He swore she blushed as she looked away. This just made the 'Mackenzie Falls' actor smile.

As they drove to the store Sonny wanted to go to, Chad got out his iPod, connecting it to the sound system.

"You never plug your iPod in." Sonny observed.

"Yeah, well I feel like listening to one song in particular."

Sonny gave him a quizzical look and he smiled as the song he wanted played through the speakers.

"I can make the rain stop if I wanna,
Just like my attitude
I can take my laptop record a snapshot
And change your point of view"

"This is my song." Sonny laughed. She had performed it a few years earlier on 'So Random' and had recorded it due to her fans wanting a studio version of the song.

"It is."

"I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so open hearted
I know I've got a long way to go but I
I'm just getting started

I'm over my head, and I know it, I know it
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm going to try
Cause I'm living the dream and I know it, I know it
I'm trying my best not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time."

"I don't know why you didn't pursue a music career, you easily could have." Chad pointed out.

Sonny shrugged her shoulders, "I love music, but acting is my main passion."

"I go where life takes me, but some days it makes me want to change my direction
Sometimes it gets lonely, but I know that it's only a matter of my perception
I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so open hearted
I know I've got a long way to go but I
I'm just getting started

And baby there is nothing like this moment
To just be real and let the truth be spoken
Whatever broke I can make it unbroken
Turn the lead in my hand and the stars stand golden
Just try more love, if I try more love then I'll find
Myself and time."

Sonny began singing along, so Chad decided to sing too, making Sonny laugh a lot as he tried.

"I'm over my head, and I know it, I know it
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm going to try

I'll find myself in time,
I know I'll find myself in time"

"You have an amazing voice." Sonny teased him.

"Shut up." Chad replied light-heartedly, making her laugh.

...

A few days later, Chad was mightily surprised to find Sonny still asleep when she usually would have been up exercising.

He woke up glad that he gotten an extra hour to sleep in for once.

Being a celebrity really could be tough at times, especially being so busy, yet he wouldn't have it any other way.

He loved his job; it really did mean the world to him.

Looking at the time on his cell phone he went over to his sleeping wife, he had to wake her up, otherwise they would be late to the studio.

"Sonny." He said, shaking her gently, "Wake up."

She stirred slightly and he shook her again.

"Chad?" She asked in a daze, letting out a yawn.

"Good morning, we are going to be late if you don't wake up and get ready.

She nodded and rubbed her eyes, sitting upright.

"I guess I should make you breakfast." She said, giving him a small smile.

By lunch time, Chad was starving and was looking forward to seeing Sonny for their usual 'lunch date'.

He made his way to her dressing room, bumping into her just outside Tawni's door.

"Hey, you ready for lunch?"

"Yeah." She replied, looking up at him with a smile on her face.

"You look nice today by the way." Chad complimented her as she shut the dressing room door behind her.

"Thanks," She grinned, happily, "You don't look too bad yourself."

Chad smiled, gazing into her eyes for a brief moment.

Sonny took a step forward and Chad backed her against the wall gently, his arms on either side of her.

His body was pressed up closed to hers; he could feel her breath on him and couldn't resist pushing a strand of hair out of her face, leaving his hand on the side of her face.

There were people walking by, they both knew it.

Chad leant down, bringing Sonny's face to his, as he closed his eyes.

"Well what do we have here?"

Sonny turned her head away and Chad opened his eyes to see who Sonny was looking at.

There before the two actors stood the fourteen year old daughter of the owner of the studio.

Dakota Condor was not someone to mess with.
