Ok, sorry for not getting this out sooner. I am leaving for vacation Monday!! Which means, I'll update again tonight, just to leave the story off at a good place before I leave. Then when I return, I'll mix things up a bit. :D

So, here's the next chapter. Just wrote some of it this morning, which is why I could't update last night.

.:.:.:.:.

Chad bit his lip as him and Sonny stood in the wings of the set of their next interview. Sonny was babbling on and on, clearly not nervous at all, and Chad stood awkwardly next to her pretending to listen.

Now he's the one that was nervous, not for the show of course, but how he was going to tell Sonny how he felt.

His hands were shaking, and he stuffed them into his pockets, looking down at the floor nervously.

"Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?!" Sonny exclaimed, hitting him playfully in the shoulder.

"Uh…"

She frowned, "Don't answer that. I already know the answer."

"Sonny-" Chad put his hand on her arm.

Sonny shrugged his hand off her arm and narrowed her eyes, "I know Chad, you don't have to go into the whole 'I'm Chad Dylan Cooper, I can choose who I want to listen to' thing."

Chad sighed and looked up at the ceiling, before mumbling, "I wasn't going to say that."

Sonny's eyes widened at the sad tone to his voice, and put her hand on his neck, pulling his head down to look at her, "Chad… I'm sorry, what's wrong?"

"I just…" He shook his head, "I just don't know what to do! I'm so confused."

She let out a chuckle, "All you have to do is talk about yourself, remember?"

Chad opened his mouth to say that wasn't what he was worried about, when a stage crew member pushed them onto set.

"Welcome the two stars from Condor Studio's, Sonny Monroe and Chad Dylan Cooper!"

They smiled at the audience and sat down together on the small love seat next to the hostess.

"Good Afternoon, we're glad to have you on the show!"

"We're happy to be here." Sonny grinned, and Chad nodded.

The interviewer smiled, "Alright to get down to business, you probably already know what we're going to ask."

Sonny frowned, "No."

Chad rolled his eyes, "You mean, about the pictures?"

"Of course the pictures, and the gossip!" The audience laughed along with the interviewer.

Chad put on a fake smile, "What exactly do you want to know?"

"Are you two a couple now?" The interviewer smiled excitedly, "I know everyone is hoping the answer is yes, you're the cutest couple out there! You even beat Zanessa."

Sonny let out a small giggle, "Zanessa?… wow, that's… great."

"So… is this the case?"

"Um, no." Sonny smiled, "We're just friends."

The audience seemed to all disagree with their sad sighs. The interviewer spoke up, "then how do you explain the hand holding?"

"Can't friends hold hands?" Chad asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I guess." The interviewer frowned, "Alright, next question is coming form the audience."

A man came out onto the set with a large box in his arms, and the interviewer picked out a slip of paper, "Marissa?"

A young girl stood up excitedly and walked to the aisle where there was a microphone waiting for her, "Hey guys!"

"Hey." Sonny and Chad said at the same time.

"For my question, I want to ask…" She thought for a second, "Have you ever been in love?"

Sonny blushed and shook her head, "No. Not yet anyways."

The girl turned to Chad who's mouth was open, "Um… well, yes I am."

"So you're in love right now?!" The girl exclaimed, excitedly, and Sonny turned to Chad with wide eyes.

He let out a chuckle, "One question only."

The girl frowned and went back to her seat. After another name was called, a teenager walked over to the microphone.

"Ok, so my question is, who is your celebrity crush?"

Both Chad and Sonny blushed. Sonny spoke up, "Um.. What kind of celebrity crush are you talking about?"

"You know!" The girl smiled, "The actor that you're extremely attracted to, and have a crush on."

Sonny nodded slowly, "Well… uh, you first Chad."

"No, I insist, ladies first Monroe."

She tuned to him with a forced smile, "Chad, I would like you to go first."

"Well… my celebrity crush would have to be…" Chad shrugged, "Sonny Monroe."

The audience gasped at the news, and turned to see that Sonny's jaw had dropped.

"Really?" She whispered, "I really am?"

"Of course, Sonny." Chad smiled.

The teenager grinned, "Who's your celebrity crush then?"

Sonny grinned at Chad, "It's Chad Dylan Cooper."

The entire audience was filled with happy smiles. Another girl came up to the mic, "My question is, what's your favorite thing about New York City so far?"

"Definitely Central Park." Sonny grinned.

"Although it took us decades to get to the top, I'd have to say the Empire State Building look out deck." Chad said as he leaned back in the chair, putting his arm across the back of it.

"Alright, enough questions from the audience," The interviewer smiled into the camera, "We have only a few minutes left, and I have one more question for both of you."

"Go ahead." Chad motioned for her to continue.

"According to the newspaper article, you're both staying in the same room. Is this true?"

Sonny blushed, "Yes, but we're actually staying in a big suite. It has two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living room in it."

The interviewer nodded, "So there you have it, Although we haven't proved Channy is for real yet, we're on the road to success."

Chad and Sonny blushed as they waved to their fans and then walked off set.

"Boy, I don't think I've ever lied on National Television before." Sonny exclaimed as they grabbed their coats.

Chad chuckled, "It's fine. No one besides you and me know about the suite."

"I'm just a little nervous about lying, that's all." Sonny smiled and they walked out onto the sidewalk to hail a cab.

"Take a shot." Chad grinned and pushed Sonny forward. She raised her hand and two taxi's pulled up on the side for her, Chad gave her an impressed smile as they slid into the nearest one and gave directions for the hotel.

.:.:.:.:.:.

When they finally got back to the hotel, Sonny ran off towards the bathroom to take a shower and get changed, Chad took a pack of spaghetti noodles and a sauce can out of the cupboards. He set them on the counter, along with the right pans and put the water on to boil.

He knew it wouldn't be ready until Sonny got out of the shower, and he was going to take a shower right after she was done. So he waited in the bedroom with his clothes in hand, for her to finish.

Sonny opened the door and stepped out with only a small towel wrapped around her body, and jumped when she saw Chad sitting on the bed.

She blushed, "I.. I thought you were-"

"Sorry." Chad gave her a smile as he hurried into the bathroom. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes for a second, trying to get the image of her in a towel out of his head.

When he opened his eyes and started taking his shirt off, he noticed Sonny's clothes piled in the opposite corner. His eyes widened at the sight of her dark purple lace bra, and he bit his lip to stifle a groan.

She literally will be the death of me.

He tore his eyes away, the fantasies of how the bra would look on Sonny vanished from his head, and he stepped into the shower.

Sonny stirred the noodles in the pan slowly, her mind elsewhere. She already realized that all her clothes were still laying in the bathroom, and hoped to got that Chad didn't notice.

The shower turned off from the bathroom, and she hurried to finish setting the plates out on the table. The spaghettiwas finished soon, and she drained it in the sink. After laying out the bowls of noodles and sauce on the table, she waited patiently by the stove.

Chad emerged from the bathroom, shaking his hair in a towel, and caught sigh of Sonny. She waited for his reaction as he stepped out of the bedroom, and smiled when his eyes widened at the smell of the meal.

"This is great Sonny." He smiled, as they both sat down to eat.

"Thanks." Sonny gave him a genuine smile, trying to look under the surface t see if he had noticed her clothes. She knew that her bra was on top, and cursed herself for forgetting her clothes when she had on her sexiest piece of underwear.

Chad smirked as he watched her stare, and let out a chuckle. "What's up, Monroe?"

"Nothing." She smirked back.

"You know what?" He gave her a sly grin, "I'm sure that color purple looks amazing on you."

Sonny's cheeks turned crimson red.

Yep. He noticed.

.:.:.:.:.:.

Lol, okay, I hope you liked this chapter! :D I really want to get the kiss out there before I leave, but some other idea's are popping into my head. While I mess around with them, just know that the kiss will come soon.

Everyone knows they're going to kiss at somepoint, so why not make it completely out of no where?! :D Just kidding.

Let me know what you think!
