Chapter 23
CPOV
Well isn't this just great! My own brother chooses a film I hate over a film we both love, and now I have to sit through it. This properly isn't even about the film; he's just being a horrible brother. And what's up with Portlyn? Why's she suddenly best friends with Sonny? Ever since Sonny joined So Random, Portlyn's hated her. Okay, I need to calm down and clear my head. I'll go for a shower. It always calms me down and I need to look and smell perfect for Sonny later. Umm, did I really just say that?
SPOV
YES! I can't believe Brad chose 27 Dresses over Fast and Furious. But I don't think he did it for the film, I think he just did it to annoy Chad. But anyway, I've got to get ready, I'm spending the whole night with Chad, so I've got to look good. What did I just say?
PPOV (Portlyn)
What's Brad up to? This wasn't what we agreed. Just as I thought this, Brad walked into the living room with popcorn, soda and chips. "What are you doing Brad, why 27 Dresses when Sonny failed at convincing you?" I asked him. His face broke out in to a huge grin. "Well Portlyn 27 Dresses is a chick flick, and what usually happens when a boy and girl watch a chick flick?" he asked in reply. I thought for a minute, not sure where this will lead. "The boy puts his arm around the girl, the girls head usually ends up on the boys shoulder, sometimes she's crying…" "ohhhhhhh," he smiled as he realised I'd worked out what he was doing "Sonny and Chad are gonna have a classic boyfriend-girlfriend moment, so it will get them closer to admitting they like each other." It's brilliant. I always knew Brad was the smart Cooper. "Exactly, you're a bit slow today Portlyn, especially since it your idea to get them together. Because I don't really care, they don't go out, Chad always talks about Sonny, they do go out Chad will still always talk about Sonny, so either way, Chad will talk about Sonny." Just as he finished talking, Lilly walked in. "You and Rosie staying for movie night?" Brad asked her. She thought for a minute. "Is Sonny staying?"
"Yeah" Brad replied. She thought for another minute. "Is Chad staying?" Brad rolled his eyes.
"Obviously." Lilly thought for yet another minute, and then she answered with a "Nope.", popping the p, before walking out of the room with one of the bowls of chips. But before me and Brad could carry on with our conversation, we heard people at the top of the stairs, so I sat down while Brad went to put the DVD in the TV.
CPOV
Okay, I've had a shower, blown dry my amazing hair, and put on the aftershave that Sonny likes (I know this because whenever I wear it at the studio she seems to breath in deep when she's round me) so I'm all ready to impress Sonny. As I reached the top of the stairs I saw her coming out of my room, I mean her and Portlyn's room. When she saw me a huge smile broke out on her face. "Happy to see me?" I asked with a smirk when she reached me. She let out a little laugh before replying with "No, just seeing you reminded me that Brad chose my film over yours." Before skipping down the stairs. I rolled my eyes before following her. When we walked into the living room we saw Brad and Portlyn sitting at either end of the couch watching the trailers on the DVD. This meant that me and Sonny had to sit in the middle of them, next to each other. Sonny went to sit next to Portlyn, picking up the purple blanket on the way. This meant I had to sit next to Brad, yay. I picked up the blue blanket and reluctantly sat down next to Brad. It got to the main menu on the DVD, so Portlyn turned off the lights with the remote while Brad press play with another remote. This is gonna be a really long night.
SPOV
Well this is awkward. Sitting next to Chad, at his house, with his brother the other side of him. But why does it feel so awkward? I've sat next to him loads of times before, so what's the problem now. Tammy walked in through the door and jumped straight up on to my lap and curled up against me. We were over halfway through the film by now and I was having to fight to keep my eyes open. I leant my head to the side and found Chad's shoulder and rested my head on it. Then I felt his arm round my shoulders, so I curled up against him, closed my eyes and felt sleep overcome me.
CPOV
Why does this feel so right?! My arm round Sonny's shoulders, her head resting on my shoulder, her curled up against me while she's asleep, she usually can't stand to be around me, let alone THIS close to me. But I can't deny the fact that I'm loving this. I really wish I could stay like this forever. Well, that is if I didn't have to sit through 27 Dresses. At least it's over now. "Well, I'm going to bed, but what are we gonna do about Sonny?" Portlyn asked, standing up. Brad looked at Sonny and thought for a minute before saying "We could always wake her and say she needs to go up stairs?"
"NO! It's not fair on her if we do that!" I blurted out. Why do I care so much? "Then what do you suggest we do?" Brad asked, looking a bit shocked. He ain't the only one. "Umm, I'll carry her up," I stood up, being careful not to wake her, slid one arm behind he knee's, the other around her back and gently lifted her. She is lighter than I expected, but that isn't surprising with her delicate frame. "Portlyn, can you go ahead so that you can open the door for me please?" I asked, making my way towards the stairs. Portlyn did a little, fairy-like run so that she was ahead of me and started to go up the stairs, with me behind her and Brad following me. When we got to the bedroom door, Portlyn opened it and reached for the light switch. "No, it make wake her." I whispered, worried that if I talk any louder I'LL wake her. So instead Portlyn opened the door as wide as possible to let as much light in and as soon as I was in the bedroom, Brad turned the landing light on to it's brightest, so that we had as much light as we could coming through the doorway. I walked over to Sonny's bed, where Portlyn had already turned down the sheets. While I was tucking Sonny in, Portlyn grabbed her pyjamas and went into the en suite and brad headed to his room. I looked down to her face. I didn't think it was possible but she looks so much more beautiful while sleeping. Before I recognised that I'd moved, my fingers had reached out to Sonny and I was gently stoking her face with my knuckles. I pulled my hand back and headed for the door. Once I was out the room, I silently pulled the door to and headed to my own.
