A Whole New Year

by TiaTodd

It is customary for couples to kiss at the beginning of a new year. In this case, however, Sonny and Chad aren't exactly a couple...yet. If you don't like reading in first person, consider this a warning.

21. NEW STORY Sonny, It's Cold Outside

This is a fraction of my newest story, completely unrelated to my previous one as far as the relationship between Channy. With this one I PROMISE to stay more in character! Please enjoy "Sonny, It's Cold Outside".

"Oh well, I don t know you re my friend and it s the Christmas season, so, you know." Why had I gone down there? I checked my phone. It was nearly nine. "Oh, well, I d better go, Chad. Thanks for the...the hot chocolate."

"Oh, so soon?" He got up as I collected my things. "But we were having an actual conversation!"

I pulled my hood up and pushed my glasses on, reaching for the door handle, and turning around to look at Chad. "It s getting pretty late. My mom will be wondering where I am. Besides, I ll come back tomorrow!"

"But Sonny!" he called as I stepped out the door. "It's it s cold outside."

What kind of excuse was that? "I've got a sweatshirt, Chad. I ll be just fine. I ll see you tomorrow."
