Chapter 14
Beautiful
Chad's Point Of View
It had been about a month since Ashley and I broke up. I was back to normal but for some reason now that I was single, it made me happy. And the weird part is that happiness would come when I would be around Sonny. It was probably because I didn't have to see Ashley hurt Sonny anymore. Clarissa was already back at her home so Sonny was sometimes sad. Since Clarissa was gone, Sonny and I didn't have that much reason to hang out which disappointed me.
We were both single also on Valentine's Day which was about 2 weeks ago.
At 9 in the morning I woke up realizing that for the first time on Valentine's Day, I didn't have a date. I looked to my phone and flipped through my endless contacts.
Ashley – NO!
Candy – She probably still hates me for ditching her…
Chloe- Too quiet…
… Portlyon – Too clingy
Trevor – He's probably making out with some girl
Sonny
I saw Sonny's name and stopped. She was probably all alone as well so we could probably hang out.
Sonny's POV (Continued memory)
Slipping into my bunny shoes, I took a short shower leaving my hair all puffy. I didn't even bother brushing since what was the point, I had no boyfriend to pretty myself up for? Usually I would have Lucy to be there for me on lonely Valentine's Day but she was all the way in Wisconsin.
Dragging my slow feet across the floor I grabbed the TV remote, and started flipping through channels.
Romance…
Romance…
News about Valentine day romances…
More romance movies…
Charlie Brown Romance…
UGH! Everything was about romance, what about those sad lonely souls that were single on Valentine's day! Now I would pay to watch that show!
This day was going to be great! It's a joy to be some cheated on, lonely girl that has no life and nobody to date on Valentine's Day and was stuck watching some stinking romances, showing her how not all romances are like the ones on the TV! I must be blessed!
As I walked to the kitchen to pop some popcorn, my door bell rang.
I wonder who was here at this time?
Slowly walking to the door, I opened it to reveal a Chad Dylan Cooper (Very rare species, sometimes annoying, sometimes fun.)
He was holding a grocery bag and a bouquet of flowers in his other hand.
His eyes trailed down to see my clothes. I looked down and saw my milk and cow pajamas. The red hint on my cheeks immediately came.
"Nice PJ's…" He chuckled so I looked up and tilted my head as in a "Why are you here?" way. He then changed the topic and spoke.
"The great Chad Dylan Cooper for once doesn't have a date, so I guess his best friend will have to be the one to hang out with him…" He smirked and I pretended to scowl.
"Why, what a pleasure it is to have the great Chad actually want to be with me." I rolled my eyes but opened the door even more so he could come in.
"You know a simple, will you be my valentine would be SO MUCH MORE comforting for a lonely soul like me." I mumbled.
"Hey, you're not lonely, you have me! You're blessed with such luck." Here we go with the blessed part again.
"Oh joy!" I sarcastically remarked as he walked into my kitchen and laid the flowers on my counter.
"Hey! You want me to leave, because I can take my candy and flowers with me!" He yelled smirking but I stopped him and pushed him into the kitchen.
"I want my candy." I smirked at him and he rolled his eyes.
He grabbed 2 bowls from the pantry and started pouring heart candies with Valentines written on them.
"So what movie we watching?" Chad asked pointing to the open TV.
"Nothing good is on there…" Chad's eyes light up and I exactly knew what he was going to say but I remarked before he could talk.
"NOT THE CHAD DYLAN COOPER MOVIE!"
Chad's face fell.
"I've watched that like 50 times because of you, not again, please…" I begged as Chad scowled and then slowly nodded like a little boy.
"Fine…"
"Fine…" I mumbled back.
"Good…"
"Good…"
"So…"
"So…"
"So…"
"Okay, not this again!" I yelled and just grabbed the bowls out of his hands and carried them to the living room.
That evening had actually been pretty fun, as much fun as I would have with Lucy. We watched some comedy movies to lighten up the mood. Chad even did some funny dance to cheer me up. It was good to have Chad with me but it also made me realize that this was all I could be to Chad. Nothing more, and I hope nothing less. Still I had to suck it up and be happy that at least I could be his best friend. If we did date, there would too many rumors and we would never get a moment of piece. Since we already hang out sometimes rumors have already started and it might get even more serious.
We would pass each other in the halls so we would wave "hi" to each other, sometimes stop and have a small conversation, then walk away…
Josh continued to purposely walk by me with Ursula. Every time his eyes would connect with mine, my body would freeze. Don't get the wrong idea, I don't like him anymore. But just seeing the plain image of him in front of me, made me shiver on the inside, sometimes cry… since I never really realized how much he hurt me….
These times Chad wasn't there for me much. Ursula would sometimes whisper mean things about me usually close to me with her friends so I could hear. I obviously chose to ignore it, since that was all I could do.
Chad's P.O.V
As the days go by, I keep thinking. My heart seems to ache a lot these days but the problem is that the more I talk to Sonny, see Sonny or do anything related to Sonny, it hurt more. My conclusion is always that it's because I miss her since I have no one to talk anymore. But my answers seem to be denied by my heart. When I see her, I feel more than just friendship.
I tried to deny that it was just some hallucination because of all my work so I decided to ignore her for some time. But the aching seems to get worse.
Finally today this morning I realized that this isn't just some hallucination… it was something much different… I felt more deep feelings for Sonny.
I knew it was crazy! I knew it was stupid! But when I put all the puzzle pieces together, I see that its true. I didn't just like her now like that but even before.
When I was around her, I was comfortable; I was happy… which is like friendship. But I have had friends before and the feelings for Sonny were more. I cared more about her more than I did with my friends, I wanted to be with her more, I wanted to make her happy more, I wanted… I wanted her… like I wanted her… to myself… and only myself…
Yesterday I dreamt about kissing her, and that was the turning point…
But there was a problem… I didn't know if she felt that way about me… and I was too afraid of losing our friendship if she rejected me.
Even though I had thought about this, the stupid part was that I was, right now… standing in front of her house.
Adrenaline was pumping through me… my hands were sweaty and shaking… and just the mere idea of seeing her, made my heart go faster than the speed of light. I was positive that I liked her more than a best friend… and I just couldn't help to want her so badly. Even if I tried to turn around and drive away, my heart pushed me forward.
This girl was really something, to make the great Chad Dylan Cooper crazy. But it was true; she wasn't just some ordinary girl. She wasn't some pretty girl that I would date for a little while then break up with. She was someone that was purely beautiful in her own way, something that made me go crazy for her.
As I climbed upstairs and walked to the door, it did feel like I was on cloud nine but at the same time it felt like there was 100 pounds of weight distributed on me. Slowly bringing up my finger to press the door bell, made my heart pound. When I touched the cold, small circle button, sparks were sent through my body. As I would turn around and try to walk away, my heart seemed to be pushing me forward once again and I could just leave.
The door creaked open and I immediately spun around to face Sonny. She was in her regular clothes which was good, because if I saw her in those PJ's like at Valentine's Day, I think my heart would literally jump out since she was so cute in them.
"Hey Chad, what brings you here?" She smiled her flashing smile and I started to stutter a little.
"Um… well… I thought that… since we haven't hung out lately… maybe we should…" I wasn't looking up since I knew I would go crazy so I looked down to the burgundy mat in front of the door.
"Yea… we haven't hung out… okay…" She slowly spoke, maybe a little confused at my declaration.
I slowly looked up to see her opening the door fully open so I could walk in. Step by step I walked in and she led me into the living room. By the couch, her guitar was leaning on to the table.
"You were playing?" I pointed to the guitar and she nodded.
"I was bored and decided to write a new song." She added grabbing the guitar as we sat down on the couch.
"Did you think of one?" I asked taking the guitar from her and started strumming some strings.
"No, I was about to, but you just came…" She said in a low whisper.
"Oh… sorry!" My heart was going crazy but it was starting to calm down as I sat down by her and talked.
"No, it's okay… Do you know how to play?" She smiled towards me.
"Here and there. Maybe I can give you some inspiration. I do know one song though, perfectly…" It was a small song that I loved when I was around 13-14. At the time I was famous but I had also wanted a perfect girl for me. That was the time I wanted to date but after hearing that song, I didn't want just any girl for great me. Eventually I couldn't find one, and became a heartbreaker.
Slowly starting the tune, I sang and strummed.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I didn't look to Sonny but started to play the fast rhythm again a little more than started the singing again.
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul…
Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon let's try
I continued to sing the chorus and then started to sing in a different tune.
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
….Your beautiful soul, yeah….
I put the guitar down and looked to Sonny. The lyrics repeated in my head again and I realized that the song perfectly my wanting for Sonny… I had been waiting for this girl since I was little because of this song, and realizing that she right in front of me, made my so happy.
Sonny smiled really brightly and started clapping and a sudden urge came over me. I grabbed her hands which she was clapping with and held mines over hers. My gaze on her chocolate brown eyes made her jump a little.
"Chad…?" She whispered slowly but I stopped her and went in for the bait.
I collided my lips on hers and kissed her deeply, and longingly. When I felt like she was going to push away, she didn't, she kissed back, with the same longing feeling.
Our lips were in synchronization as she took her hands out of mines and wrapped them around my neck. I took the opportunity to wrap my arms around her waist.
The feeling of kissing this beautiful woman made my heart want to jump out. I didn't care about the future, I didn't care about the past… all I cared about was the present… right now. I wasn't thinking nor transmitting anything through my brain since it seemed to be completely shut off, kissing her was the only thing I wanted to do.
She grabbed my closer to her and I gladly accepted.
