A/N- Sorry it's been a while since I've updated this. To make up for it here's an extra long chapter w/ some Channy in it :)

Also, I'm really sorry that I haven't responded to all of my reviews- I've had trouble keeping up with it lately. However, I totally appreciate you all.

Enjoy! ~Carrie


CHAD'S POV

Alright, so I finally realized that I was jealous of Sonny and Caleb, mostly because I wanted her to be with me.

However, I felt that I only had two choices.

Choice number one: Be supportive of Sonny because she's happy and at least still have her as a friend, or whatever she is… as long as she's in my life.

Choice number two: Show my jealousy; then Sonny would probably hate me and be out of my life.

So of course I went for the first one. Sure it wasn't much fun seeing her with Caleb. I used to look forward to lunch because it was my time to mess with Sonny, but now I dreaded it.

Luckily Caleb wouldn't be on So Random much longer. Sure, he'd still be dating Sonny, but at least he wouldn't be at the studio all of the time. Then at work, I could have her to myself.

On the plus side, Sonny was coming to Chloe's play tomorrow night; and I know that she only had one ticket.

--

I went to the yogurt machine in desperate need of a pick me up. Things were pretty much back to normal; I just wish Sonny's relationship wasn't flaunted in front of my face. But she didn't know it bothered me, and I wouldn't ever tell her.

It's not like I love her or anything- I'll get over her eventually.

As I stood in line, I felt a light poke in my back. I turned around annoyed, but softened once I realized it was Sonny.

"Hey Chad," she greeted sweetly. It was nice hearing her say my name with no haste in her voice.

"Hey," I replied smirking.

"Let me guess… chocolate?" she smiled, gesturing to the machine.

"How'd you know?"

"Well I remember when you stole my yogurt, that's what you got. You always get chocolate."

"Oh, so you pay attention to what I eat?" I teased cockily.

"Oh yeah almighty Chad, that's what I do," she answered sarcastically. "So you like chocolate fro-yo, but not candy?"

"I like chocolate, I just prefer sour candy." It was obvious that she was just trying to find something to talk about, but at least we were speaking to each other.

"Oh, I guess to match your attitude," she spouted. Normally that would start an argument, but I knew she was just teasing. I was started to learn how to read her a little bit.

"Funny Monroe," I glared. I'm sure she knew I wasn't really mad.

"Well, I have to stop by tonight, so maybe I'll see you then."

"What are you stopping by for?" I asked. Not that I didn't want her to come by, but I was curious.

"I need to bring Chloe's chicken costume by. I got our wardrobe lady to make her one," she smiled her toothy grin.

She was so cute I almost couldn't stand it.

"Okay, well maybe I'll see you then," I replied coolly, rejoining Portlyn at the table.

--

"You two seem to be doing better," Portlyn spoke.

"Yeah, we're okay now," I said slurping a bit of my fro-yo.

"Did you tell her that you like her?"

"No, she has a boyfriend."

"So? She has a right to know."

"Well now is not the time. I finally got her to speak to me again; I don't want her to edge me out again."

"Well that makes sense," Portlyn agreed, dropping the subject. Now maybe she'd shut her mouth and eat her lobster.


SONNY'S POV

Today was our final rehearsal for next week's show. Tomorrow is Saturday, so we would actually film it on Monday.

I was kind of nervous about kissing Caleb on television. Not that I didn't like the kiss, but I just wasn't used to stuff like that being publicized.

--

Rehearsals went great; we kissed a few times, and I finally was actually looking forward to the world seeing Caleb and I as a couple.

"So, do you want to hang out for a while?" Caleb asked, as we headed out of the studio that evening.

"Sure, maybe we can grab some dinner. Then I have to go drop off Chloe's costume to her."

"Okay cool, I told the guys I'd meet up with them later anyway," he smiled, opening the car door for me.

--

We went to this local Mexican restaurant called Antonio's; they have out-of-this-world salsa. Caleb liked it alright, but I thought it was great. Then again, it's one of my favorite local spots to hit. It's nothing fancy, but the food is good comfort.

Caleb and I talked a lot. I learned some little quirks about him. I like our relationship because we have fun together, and we totally like each other, but we can still have separate lives as well.

Once I had an ex-boyfriend in Wisconsin that was way too clingy, therefore I don't put up with that anymore. But Caleb was sweet, and very smart. I was a little sad that his time on So Random was almost over, but I knew I'd still be seeing plenty of him.

--

Caleb drove me back to my car; still in the studio parking lot.

"So you're going out with the guys tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah, Jacob is having a few of us over; we'll probably play Guitar Hero or something." I couldn't help but laugh; Caleb was so cool, but sometimes he could be so lame.

"Well thanks, for dinner," I said, embracing him in a hug.

"You're welcome," he said shyly. "Um, Sonny, I really like you. And if you're not ready to kiss me tonight, I understand. But I'd like too," he admitted, blushing.

I leaned over to him, placing a soft kiss on his lips. I'd be lying if I said there weren't any sparks there. "See you later Caleb," I said softly, exiting his car and returning to mine.

"I'll call you!" I heard him say happily. He waited until my car started and drove off.

I smiled the whole way over to the Cooper residence.


CHAD'S POV

The doorbell rang, and I was hoping that it was Sonny. But I couldn't seem too eager, so I let my mom answer the door. I felt kind of pathetic as I sat on the couch in the living room waiting a proper amount of time before 'realizing' she was here. I was feeling less and less like Chad Dylan Cooper.

I quietly pretended to watch tv as I slyly eavesdropped.

"Hi Sonny," my mother greeted her with a hug. Well that's kind of weird; my mom has never greeted any of my other girlfriends with a hug… not that Sonny was my girlfriend. I just hope my family doesn't get to attached to her.

"Sonny!" Chloe cheered running over to engulf Sonny in a hug. Sonny scooped her up and carried her over to one of the kitchen barstools, sitting her down. She took a backpack off of her back and pulled something out of it.

"I brought something for you," she said, holding up something bright and yellow. "Here's your chicken costume," she smiled, holding it over to Chloe. "Just like Nico and Grady's."

"Thanks Sonny, I love it!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around Sonny's neck.

"You're welcome," Sonny replied, returning the hug.

"That was so thoughtful of you Sonny," my mother responded. "Would you like to stay for dinner?"

In one way I wanted her to say yes, but then again no might be better. I wanted to see her, but I just didn't want any of my feelings accidentally leaking to her.

"Oh, I don't think Chad would be very happy if I stayed," she declined. "But thank you for the offer."

I couldn't believe Sonny thought I didn't want her here. Okay, so I could believe it.

"Well Chad's in the living room, why don't you just go ask him?" I heard mom say.

Alright Chad, preparation time. Just be cool.

I could hear Sonny's heels clicking on the wooden floor. I acted like I was so in to some stupid show on the history channel that I didn't notice her presence.

"Hey Chad," she greeted sweetly.

"Hey," I deadpanned. Had to act like I didn't care- right?

She took a spot next to me on the couch. "So, um, your mom invited me to dinner. Would you care if I stayed?"

I looked in to her big brown eyes, trying not to melt. "I don't care."

"Do you mean you don't care if I stay?"

"Whatever you want," I waved my hand, flipping through the channels.

"Well if you don't want me here I'll leave," she said, genuinely looking a little hurt.

"You can stay," I said, giving her a simple smile.

I wanted to ask about her and Caleb and why she wasn't with him on a Friday night, but I didn't want to seem jealous. Even though I clearly was.

--

"So Chloe, are you excited about your play?" Sonny asked anxiously. Even she was excited about it. Her cuteness just made it harder to push her away.

"So excited! I'm so glad that you and Chaddy will be there." I couldn't help but blush a bit.

"So Sonny, anything new on the set of So Random? My dad asked.

"Oh yeah, we're filming a new episode on Monday," she droned on about that Bachelor sketch. I kind of caught bits and pieces, but I tuned in when I heard her say, "I'm still really embarrassed that I have to kiss Caleb on national tv."

"Who's Caleb?" Chloe asked.

"That's her boyfriend," I groaned, rolling my eyes. I tried to hold it back, but just couldn't. Hopefully Sonny didn't notice.

"But I want Chaddy to be your boyfriend!" Chloe whined.

I nearly choked on my salmon.

"I'm sorry Chloe, but we're just friends," Sonny smiled. Well, at least she said friends.

"Okay," Chloe pouted, but quickly got over it and continued rambling on about her play.

Kids say the darndest things.

"So that kiss was just a sketch?" I whispered to Sonny, trying to keep everyone else from hearing.

"Yeah," she answered sheepishly, her face brightening pink.

Okay, well that makes me feel a little bit better.

--

I retreated to my room after I finished eating. It was just too awkward after Chloe's remark.

I decided it was time to update my blog.

CDC here- what it do?

Hey fans, I just wanted to apologize about my last temporary blog. Sonny and I are okay again; I just had a really bad day. I was a jerk to her.

Anyway, don't forget, there's a new episode of Mackenzie Falls, next Wednesday, so be sure to watch.

Today we filmed our Thanksgiving episode; it's a real tear jerker.

Thanks for your support, Chad

So it was a boring blog, but it sufficed. I was about to post when I heard a gentle tap on my doorframe. I looked up and my eyes met with Sonny's.

"Can I come in?"

I nodded. "Sorry about Chloe's outburst at dinner. She's just crazy about you."

"Oh that's okay," Sonny smiled. She walked over to me and leaned over me like she had several nights ago.

"Updating the blog again?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Anything juicy?"

"No."

"You didn't bash me again, did you?" I could feel her breath on me.

"No, Sonny, I told you I wouldn't again. It was stupid of me in the first place."

"I know; it was stupid. But that's okay," she said, playfully ruffling my hair.

I leaned back a bit, meeting her gaze upside down. "You did not just mess up Chad Dylan Cooper's hair," I said, attempting to smooth it down.

"Well maybe I did, what are you gonna do about it?" she teased.

"This!" I said, tugging her hair band out of her long, perky ponytail. Her hair cascaded down in a messy waterfall. But it was still pretty.

"Chad!" she whined, attempting to take it out of my hand.

I continued sitting in my computer chair, hiding it in one hand, then the other, and behind my back. She grabbed my hand and tried to pry it open. I loved teasing her; at least this way I got a little contact.

She finally pulled my fist apart only to realize that her hair band was not in it.

"C'mon!" she begged. "Please Chad! My hair is a mess!" she said, covering her head with her hands.

"It's not that bad," I taunted. "Do you really want this back?" I asked, waving the hair band in her face.

"Yes I do!"

"Really Sonny, really?"

She reached her hand out, but poor clumsy Sonny lost her balance, tripped over the wheel of my computer chair, and landed smack dab in my lap. Not that I minded.

I could feel my face blushing. "Ha!" she exclaimed, facing me and taking the hair band from my hand.

I could feel my face getting redder, but she seemed unfazed. She pulled her hair back up in a high ponytail. "Ah, Much better!" she breathed, still not noticing that she was sitting on me.

I couldn't help it; I couldn't just sit there." I brushed away a strand of hair out of her face and put it behind her ear. "You missed a piece."

She stared in to my eyes for just a moment, but I felt something in that gaze. Now Sonny was blushing too, finally realizing that she was still on me.

"Ohmigosh Chad, I'm so sorry," she said, suddenly rising off of me. But oh how I wanted her to stay there.

"So can I write something in your blog again?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Again? Don't you have your own blog?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I want to write something in your's."

"I guess Monroe," I said coolly.

I faced the computer screen as she leaned over me, typing. I could smell her sweet perfume. Not sure what it was, but I liked it.

Hey everyone, Sonny here again. I just want to clear the air and say that everything is cool between CDC and me. Maybe even better than before. Just had to say that.

Love , Sonny Monroe

P.S. Chad's really not that bad of a guy, once you give him a chance. Oh and So Random rocks!

"Oh I'm not that bad, huh?" I joked playfully.

"Yeah, not that bad."

"So I'm kind of bad?" I smirked.

"Yeah you are," she winked, ruffling my hair one more time. "Well it's getting kind of late, so I'd better go."

"Oh okay, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the play?" I asked hopefully.

"Definitely," she smiled. For a second there I thought that just maybe she was flirting. But she couldn't be, she has a boyfriend.

--

"Bye Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, bye Chloe!" Sonny shouted before heading out the door. My parents hollered bye to her, but Chloe was already upstairs asleep.

"Bye Chad," she said hastily as always, but then gave me a little smile before walking out the door.

I returned it with a wink and closed the door. I put my back against it and slid all the way to the floor.

What was I to do?

I just need to get over her. If only I could find a way…
