Chapter 24 – Papa-paparazzi

SPOV:

I woke up early on Monday morning. It was a beautiful day. I opened my curtains to see sunshine and a perfect baby blue sky with not a cloud in sight. Some people say that sometimes the weather can reflect our moods, but at other times it could mock them. That day, it did both.

I was finally officially Chad's girlfriend and I was immensely happy. Nothing could bring me down!

I dressed with care that morning, wanting to make myself seem worthy of being the girlfriend of a TV star, conviniently forgetting that everyday I went to work as a TV star myself. I wore blue denim shorts, a pale blue vest top and silvery pumps. Over the top I wore a dark blue sleeveless cardigan that hung down to my thighs.

I decided to walk to work because it was such a nice day. As I was walking I received several texts.

Tawni: Get here quick, we need damage control. X

Well that was odd.

Chad: Morning Sonshine. How are you? You seen the news stories yet? X

Hmm…

Nico: Woah, Sonny. Why didn't you tell us you were married? X

Married? Hmm…must be a joke.

Zora: I knew it! Traitor.

Grady: Zora's probably already said this, but you are a traitor, you know. Sorry Sonny x

Okay, what was going on? I'm married, a traitor and no I haven't seen the news. I looked up from my pondering to see I was already at the gates of the studio. I walked through them, past the hidden pond I had once found, past the doorman and into set three. I headed straight for the prop house.

"Hello?" I called uncertainly.

"In here, Sonny." Tawni replied from inside the prop house. I walked in to find everyone gathered there, even Chad and his cast. I smiled at them all.

"What's going on?" I asked, perching myself on the arm of the sofa. I could feel the tension in the room.

"You've dressed today to match my eye colour." I looked down at my clothes and groaned. Everyone laughed.

"I didn't do it on purpose!" I growled. "So what's really going on?" I insisted, narrowing my eyes slightly at Chad who was still smirking.

"Why don't you tell us?" Zora's voice echoed from the vents.

"I have no clue what you're on about Zora!" I called up to her.

"Right, well, Sonny. Err there's been a bit of a situation with the news." Tawni began, cutting across Zora before we could really start to fight and to give me the details before Chad's smirk drove me insane.

"Like what?" I demanded.

"Like this." Nico explained, holding up a magazine. On the front page was a picture of Chad kissing my cheek. The one from Saturday night. He flicked the magazine open and showed me more pictures. There was one from our fake date, one from inside Chad's house on Saturday, one of us having lunch together last week, one of our hug Saturday night and the list went on and on. As my eyebrows rose higher, Chad's smirk grew more pronounced. Apparently he liked the world to think we'd secretly been dating. My mum was going to flip!

"Is it true?" Grady asked me. I slowly nodded after looking at Chad. Honesty was the best policy.

Immediately there was uproar from some of the cast, but smiles and cheers from other members.

"Wait, calm down. It was only true after Saturday night. How'd they find out so fast?" I asked.

"It appears that there have been photographers following you two everywhere." Nico said.

"I thought I heard a camera that night, but I thought I was imagining things. Actually I thought it was crickets." Chad said and shook his head, while I and the other lauged or groaned.

"Well, what's done is done. What do we do now?" Grady asked.

"We obviously need to head off the rumours as quickly as possible. One magazine is saying you're married." Tawni explained. I looked over at Nico, finally understanding his text and Chad's unreasonable smirk, which grew even biggger, if possible, at the mention of this rumour. Nico shrugged apologetically.

"We're not married." Chad explained before anyone could ask. Yet, I added mentally and then shook myself. He continued, "How about Sonny and I give an interview to Santiago. That way he can ask which rumours are true or not and we can explain." Chad suggested.

We all agreed and it was arranged as soon as possible.

…

Chad and I walked into the studio to cheers from the crowd. My hand was in Chad's. I was nervous about this interview.

We sat down close by each other and Chad kept hold of my hand.

"Hello, Sonny, Chad." Santiago greeted.

"Hello." We returned.

"Well let's get this show on the road then." He said and began his introduction after the audience had become quiet again.

"So, are the rumours true?" He asked.

"Which ones? There are rather a lot." Chad replied, smiling. He at least was relaxed.

"Well, are you two married?"

"No." We both replied. The crowd moaned mournfully.

"Well are you two dating, at least?"

"Yes, we are." Chad replied for us. I kept quiet.

"Aww." The crowd cheered.

"Are you two planning on getting married anytime soon?"

"Well, we're still quite young. Isn't it a little early for marriage?" Chad asked.

"Yes, well. Do you have any plans to get married in the future?" Santiago pressed.

"Well…maybe." My head snapped up at Chad's reply. Could my little day dream come true one day?

"Oooh!" Went the crowd. I blushed.

"Okay, moving on…Where did you first meet Chad, Sonny?" Crap, he wanted me to talk!

"Err, at a going away party for me, when I was ten and Chad was twelve?" My answer sounded like a question.

"Awww." Went the crowd.

"So you've known each other for a long time then?"

"We kind of lost contact for a while." I smiled weekly.

"So when was the reunion?" Santiago asked.

"When she was amazing enough to get onto SO Random!" Chad saved me.

The questions just went on and on.

Eventually Santiago let us go. Chad pulled me up by the hand that he was still holding. As soon as we were out of the building he spoke.

"Well that was fun." He pulled a face and so did I. It had lasted for ever! "How about we go get some coffee before we go do damage control with our family?" He asked. I agreed, only nodding my head because my mind was caught on the words 'our family.' Our family, he'd said. Not his and mine, but our.

Our family.

:) So how am I doing? I hope you're enjoying the story. Review and make me smile. Xxx
