I don't own Sonny.

Frost

"Sonny," he replied with a smile. His eyes were searching hers intently. "I just want to do this the right way."

His eyes were dancing now, alight with a million emotions she couldn't decipher.

"And what way would that be?"

There was silence for a moment. But finally, he spoke loud and clear.

"Sonny, I want you to be my girlfriend."

Sonny stood silent in shock for a moment or two. Chad was smiling, but it was a slightly worried smile.

"What did you just say?"

He laughed quietly as he opened the door for her.

"I said I want you to be my girlfriend."

Even though she had heard him, her mind could not understand.

"It's a simple yes or no question Munroe," he said tensely.

They had now stopped in the hallway and he took her hand in his. She turned to face him. After a moment he advanced closer and her body immediately tensed up but she still managed to smile.

"Come now Munroe," he said lifting her chin with his index finger making her look straight into his perfect blue eyes. "I'm waiting for your answer," he said quietly while letting his other hand gently tuck a lose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Uhh," she stammered nervously. She felt like her tongue had swelled to three times its normal size. She wanted nothing more than to say yes and to kiss those tempting lips which looked so soft and sweet, but her whole body seemed frozen. She took a deep breath as she tried to make herself concentrate.

"Get away from him this moment!" Portlyn's voice said coldly.

Chad sighed in frustration as he pulled away and faced Portlyn.

"I was just asking Sonny to go out with me Portlyn," he said bluntly. "And your little schemes didn't stop me."

"Oh whatever do you mean my darling Chad?"

"I mean the way you reported us, the way you've been following us all that crap!"

"How did you get past Zora?" Sonny suddenly was able to speak again but Chad seemed further frustrated by this.

"I saw her following me, she's not as stealthy as she makes you believe, and so I confronted her about it, threatened her a little bit, and she spilled."

"Zora wouldn't ever do that!" Sonny defended.

"Oh really, because she squealed like a little pig when I threatened to tell you all her little secret, she took the bait and let me know everything I needed to know."

"How did you know where we were going?"

"I've been having you followed you dimwit. Do you think by only one person?"

Chad suddenly smiled.

"What is so funny Cooper?" Portlyn asked, venom dripping from every syllable.

"Portlyn, I like Sonny," he admitted rather bluntly, with the slightest hint of red tinting his cheeks.

Portlyn's face was suddenly twisted hideously in fury and rage.

"You had to go and be straightforward didn't you?" Sonny asked as she shifted uncomfortably under the ice cold glare of Portlyn.

Suddenly Portlyn turned to face Chad.

"This is not over," she spat coldly in his face. She turned back to Sonny. "I'm going to get you funny girl, just wait."

Sonny's eyes grew wide and her breathing became ragged and heavy. Chad then stepped between her and Portlyn stretching out his arms, protecting her from Portlyn. And finally with a huff, Portlyn turned on her Stiletto heels and marched quickly down the hallway. Sonny sighed, letting her head fall back in relief. Chad turned around so he was facing her again.

"Oh my," she whispered.

"It's okay Sonny," he said outstretching his arm to her. "I'll walk you to your dressing room."

She felt like she had a million questions for Chad, but she knew that she'd have to give him an answer first. She was thinking of something to say as they entered into her dressing room and she closed the door.

"Chad, about your question," she started quietly, but he placed a finger gently on her lips.

"Sonny, it's okay, you can give me your answer when you are ready."

"Chad!" She exclaimed warmly. "That is so sweet, and so unlike you."

"Like I told you, I have my moments," he said softly. "Now I would keep this door locked if I were you, Portlyn wasn't kidding. She'll find a way to get to you, and she's got a pretty good right hook, I should know."

"Oh, okay," she said, now even more frightened then she was before.

"I'd also have someone with you at all times, if possible," he said. "Of course I would prefer that it was mwuah, but any old person will do," he smiled as he advanced closer again. His warm palm was resting gently across her cheek. Her blood was starting to boil; her head was starting to feel woozy. She was certain that her temperature had just shot up to about 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

"Chad," she squeaked.

"Hm?" He quietly hummed as he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His lips were so close again; seriously this boy was trying to murder her!

"I-I capt wink," she stuttered.

"Huh?" He said as he gently ran his ring and pinky fingers across her cheekbone as light as a feather.

"She said she can't think," Zora was standing in the middle of the room with her arms crossed over her chest.

Chad groaned.

"Can't a guy ever get some luck?"

Zora frowned. "Would you please give me and Miss goo- goo eyes some time here?"

He dug his hands in his pockets with a shrug. "Sure," he mumbled.

"Bye bye," Zora said as Chad stepped into the hallway. He flashed a warm smile at Sony and waved. Then Zora slammed the door in his face.

"Okay Sonny, I need to talk to you."

But Sonny stood staring at the door longingly like the ice cream man had just driven away without giving her a chance to buy her favorite flavor.

"Sonny!" Zora cried waving her hands in front of Sonny's face. "Lover boy is gone now so I really need you to concentrate!"

Slowly she smiled at Zora.

"Sorry," she mumbled. "He sort of has this mind numbing effect on me, annoying really."

"Look Miss Hot lips, I don't want to hear about it, I just ate."

"Wait, I thought you were all for this thing!" She exclaimed, frustrated.

"I was until Portlyn decided to throw me in the back of her limo tied up."

"What do you mean? She said you told her you were following her because she threatened you."

"Oh," Zora reddened in anger. "Did she really now? That EVIL…" Sonny couldn't hear the rest because it was all muttered beneath her breath. She started pacing back and forth, when she stopped facing away from Sonny she shouted, "If she thinks she can lock me up and pretend she didn't do anything well she's wrong! She must now face the undying wrath of Zora!"

"Whoa! Zora calm down! Tell me what happened."

Zora turned quickly, her brow covered in sweat and her face locked in a deep scowl.

"She saw me following her, that little freak, and she told her body guards. They came and tied me up and threw me in the back of the limo. She made me tell you what you said on the phone."

"Whoa," Sonny gasped as she sat down on the couch.

"Yeah, this is no ordinary girl we are dealing with here; she's the daughter of the devil. She's worse than Dakota, and that's sayin' something!"

"Yeah, that is saying something," Sonny agreed as she buried her face in her hands. "What am I going to do?"

"You have to tell Chad you don't like him Sonny," Zora said. "I can't outwit this girl; she's too good for me."

"No!" Sonny shouted, much louder than she had anticipated, and Zora just stood there and blinked, clearly dumbfounded.

"Whoa," she finally whispered quietly. "You weren't kidding were you Sonny? You REALLY like him, don't you?"

"Yes," she answered.

Zora sighed and sat down on the couch next to her.

"Well, I can't promise anything Sonny, her body guards know who I am now. But I can try to protect you. And I really think you should at least let the other guys know, I mean this girl is evil and she's trying to destroy you. They are your friends; I think they'll back you up."

"NO!" Sonny shouted. "They can't know, they'll hate me," she murmured quietly.

"Okay then, but like I said I can't promise anything, we're going up against evilllll here."

Sonny actually laughed and lifted her head out of her hands.

"But if I get thrown into the back of a limo one more time, we're done," Zora added firmly. And Sonny shook her head in agreement.

"See you later Sonny," Zora said as she walked out of the room with a smile on her face.

Sonny sighed as she fell back against the couch, letting her hair fall down in her face. The question Chad had asked her, still running through her head.

She had thought she knew her answer, but now she was second guessing it. She had been through so much all ready, was she really ready for more? But at the same time, she really liked Chad, she really cared about him. He made her blood boil in a way no one else could. It made her want to forget every single reservation that she had and just throw herself at him.

But Portlyn was unforgiving and her heart was colder than a winter in Wisconsin. So how could she, Sonny Munroe possibly keep the frost at bay?

She knew if she said yes, it would only be a matter of time before she found out….. So, what she was going to do?

Next time on Star,

Her high heels were clicking furiously as she ran across the stage, tears flying from her face.

"Portlyn please, no!"

"You are going down Munroe, TODAY!"
