Sonny POV

I saw Chad pull out his phone and look at the screen in horror. What could possibly have warranted that reaction? We were supposed to be having a good time. He snapped out of it before saying, "We have to go now or we are going to be late!"

He started hurrying to pack up. Late for what we weren't… That's when it hit me. I have a doctor's appointment. If I was late my mom was sure to have my head. She said she didn't want me to miss it and when she says something she means business. I started helping him clean up, but he already was mostly done by the time I got my act together.

He lifted me up and hurried to get me into the boat going back later to pick up the towels and basket. "Are you ready Sonshine? I promise we will make it back on time or my name isn't Chad Dylan Cooper."

"Well then I hope we get back on time because if you were no longer Chad Dylan Cooper you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. You would have to much time not having to say your name every few seconds," I said smiling trying to get him to slow down just to breathe.

I don't know why he cares so much anyway, it's not like it is his doctors appointment or his mom that he would have to contend with. He smiled at me acknowledging my attempt, but the flexing and tensing of his muscles did not slow. It was impressive because I never knew he was so in shape for an Olympic rowing team. We got to the docks in record time. Gone was any awkwardness about how to get up to the dock. I stood with my hands on his shoulders and he lifted me up to sit on the dock from where he was standing on the middle seat. Then, he passed up the basket and with just a hop he got in position to pull himself up to the dock. When he tied the boat, he helped me up and gave me my crutches that were still on the dock.

We made our way as fast as we could to the car though he was not impatient and allowed me to go only as fast as I could. He obviously didn't want me to get hurt again and now that we were back on land he seemed confident we could get back on time. We reached the car and got in swiftly. All of our moves were coordinated without the need for verbal communication. We could already feel out what the other was going to do as if we could read each others mind.

Chad POV

Really Chad, you have one responsibility today, watch the time and make sure Sonny gets home for her appointment on time, and you almost blow it. We got out of there so fast I really hope Sonny didn't mind to much the speed at which we traveled. She really needs to go to the doctors though it is the most important thing for her to get better again. There will be time for us later. Not that I'm saying there will be an us or even that I want there to be one. Not to mention, I didn't want to seem irresponsible to her mother. It would make a bad impression and I really wanted to be on her good side if only because I really, really like Sonny and do not want any ill feelings to come between us.

We moved so fluidly together she knew just the small movements that needed to be done to get through everything quickly. Like when we got back to the dock she stood without me having to tell her. Sometimes I honestly believe we can read each others minds. We compliment each other. We work perfectly even through from the outside it seems like we are completely different and shouldn't work well.

Sitting here now driving the car to her house, I can't help but hope someday she realizes she likes me as much as I like her. Not that would tell her. Chad does not fall for girls they fall for him. It lessens heartbreak, for me anyway. Deep in my thought I was instantly taken back to reality when I felt a hand in mine. I looked down for a second and saw her hand with mine. It was unexpected to say the least and perfect at the same time. It was like the two hands belonged together and were made for each other. I could fell the softness and warmth of her hand before looking up into her eyes which was a mistake because I was still driving.

I heard the blaring of car horns and put my focus on the road again before she spoke, "Chad, thank you for caring so much about getting me home on time because I am positive that if it weren't for we would still be trying to get back."

She gave my hand a little squeeze. I could only glance in her direction for fear that I would once again lose myself in her eyes which is a really bad idea on the road. She leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I felt the tingling sensation long after her lips left. The blaring of car horns returned causing her to giggle. Pull yourself together Chad you are driving. Do you want to lose yourself now and get in an accident? No. So focus, breath, and get a grip she is just a girl. SHE IS NOT JUST A GIRL SHE IS SONNY! I pulled myself together and was happy to see we were outside her apartment still hand in hand, but no longer in danger of my driving. I looked to the clock 3:25 just in time. Chad and Sonny: 1; Universe: 0.

Sonny POV

We got there just a bit early which was surprising considering we started out late. Chad said, "Stay here Sonny. I will go up to tell your mom you are ready so you don't have to go up and down the stairs. Okay?"

"Yah sure sounds good."

At that he hopped out saying, "Be right back," before making his way to the sidewalk and going out of sight up the stairs.

A couple of minutes later he came down with my mom in tow. He came to my door and opened it before reaching to the backseat and pulling out my crutches. I got up and hopped onto the sidewalk before he closed the door. He followed me to my mom's car where it was parked down the street.

"Sonny?" Chad said from where he stood beside me.

"Yah," I said looking over to him.

"I really hope the doctor says you will be fine soon. I really am sorry again."

"Chad I…"

"I know you told me not to say it again, but I went for about a day without apologizing," he stopped in thought. "At least I think I didn't I could be wrong."

"Thanks Chad for everything. I'll see you tomorrow alright?" I asked as he opened my mom's car door for me.

"You can bet on it," he said while taking my crutches when I sat down. He opened the door and put them on the back seat.

"Bye Chad," I said with a wave before he closed the door.

I watched him as he stood on the sidewalk as we drove out of sight. I was lost in my thoughts before my mother finally brought me back, "So how was your day?"

What could possibly be an appropriate answer for that? Perfect, amazing all these words seemed cheap in comparison to what I actually felt. All day with Chad, talking, laughing, and watching dolphins it was… "Indescribable." I finally decided that the only way to adequately describe it was, oddly enough, to not even try because there are no words in the English language that are good enough for the feelings that the day brought to my heart.

Chad POV

Watching Sonny ride off without me, I knew I wanted to be in that car with her but that was not an option. This was something she had to do with her mom. Not a friend or coworker or whatever she I am to her. I would just have to hear about it tomorrow. I went home and got a shower to get the salty ocean mist out of my hair.

Every thought I had was of her even though I tried to focus on other things. When I got dressed, I went to my room to try to do some homework from the past few days, but it was useless. I went down to dinner with my family which could have taken my mind off her if my mom hadn't asked, "So, what have you been up to the past couple of days? You haven't been home since Thursday for more than ten minutes. I thought you moved to Europe without telling me."

"Mom you're overreacting. Sonny's mom said she called both nights when I fell asleep on the couch, and I called you yesterday while I was at work to talk."

"So how are things going with Sonny now that you follow her around every waking hour of the day," my mom asked with a smirk.

She probably can tell how much I like Sonny. I talk about her sometimes and my actions the past few days probably only fueled her suspicions. My mom should have been a detective instead of a novelist; she never misses anything. My dad chimed in trying to save me from the direction this conversation was going, "So how was work son?"

Happy for the chance at an alternate conversation, I quickly jumped in, "Not bad. We got done another episode yesterday and as you know we don't work on Saturdays, so I mostly hung out with Sonny today."

Genius, you had an out and you just bring it full circle. You idiot think before you speak. You are really not helping the cause, and keep Sonny out of your mind for now or just control yourself. Why is that so difficult? "Is Sonny coming over Chad? Huh, huh?" my little sister Lily asked eagerly. She loves So Random which I don't completely understand, but her favorite cast member is Sonny which I could completely agree with. The kid had good taste in that department at least. What can I say she is my little sister some of my genius had to rub off on her eventually right?

"She's not coming today. Maybe I'll see if she wants to come by to see you on Monday after work. It all depends on how her doctor's appointment goes."

"Well I would personally love to meet her. Wouldn't you honey?" my mom asked dad.

"Yah sure it would be great," he said sincerely but with nothing additional to say. One of the best things about my dad is he keeps it simple and to the point whereas my mom can go on forever about details.

I went up to my room and eventually fell asleep listening to one of my favorite CDs. As I drifted into unconsciousness my thoughts went once again to Sonny with no hope of being suppressed any longer.
