Chad's POV

Wisconsin Hillbilly, how did that even manage to escape my mouth? I sat alone in the bedroom strumming on my guitar. It had been over an hour now since I left Sonny on that random street in London and I was starting to get worried.

There's no point in denying it now, Chad Dylan Cooper has feelings. He may only have feelings for himself and the bubbly brunette, but those feelings are there even when nobody thought it was possible.

"That was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception…"

I lay down on the bed throwing my guitar next to me; this isn't the Chad Dylan Cooper I'm used to, nobody is used to the cheesy guy that writes songs about his feelings.

This girl has done something to me and it scares me, she makes me laugh, heck I bet she could even make me cry! Ok I don't think we should go that far Chad.

"But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me"

Letting Sonny know how I feel is one thing, but the whole world finding out? I don't think I could cope, my reputation, my fans, what if she doesn't like me back? Ha, nobody can resist the CDC charm.

But Sonny's different from everyone else, sure she slips up every once and a while but she doesn't like me, she's embarrassed of me. Her words from today's events replayed over and over in my mind.

"I don't get stuff like this written about me. I'm embarrassed."

"Embarrassed of what, me?"

"Yes you Chad."

She tells me she's embarrassed of me and I come up with some lame comeback and saunter off. Clever Chad!

Urgh, I'm so stupid and she's taking too long to come back, I'm hungry but she won't be happy if I went to dinner without her.

"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's-"

That's when I was caught; I turned around to three knocks on the door frame. And there she was standing in the doorway with a smirk on her face. Here it comes Chad, get ready for the teasing.

"What brings you back so early Munroe?" I asked laying my guitar back to the side as she walked across the room towards me.

"What's with the sarcasm Cooper? You miss me?" She asked taking a seat beside me.

"N-no, I'm just hungry." Technically it was kind of true.

"Awh you were worried weren't you!" She cooed mockingly.

"Why would I be worried about you?" I snapped hoping to annoy her.

"Chad, don't try and make me angry, it's not going to work." She beamed but still smirking at the same time.

"Sonny just drop it ok?" I snapped again without thinking.

"Fine but I'll find out later." She edged.

"I said just drop it! Come on let's go eat." I shot up making my way to the living room.

I probably shouldn't have acted that way but she interrupted me, she didn't let me make my mind up to what I'm going to do. After an awkward silence down the elevator we arrived at the dining room.

"I'm sorry Mr. Cooper but the dining room is closing now, you know the times for food are 5 till 8pm, it is now 8:30." The doorman explained.

"Well what am I supposed to do to get some food around here?" I whined, nobody likes to see a hungry Chad.

"Chad we can just order a pizza or something." Sonny concluded. I agreed and we headed back up to the room.

-oo-------oo-

"Good call Munroe." I said patting my stomach as we watched an episode of 'Gladiators' – The only show we could seem to agree on.

"That was some good pizza… what do you want…to do now?" She said mid-yawn, it was now 10pm and we had a long day around London.

"I think someone needs their beauty sleep." I chuckled standing up and holding my hand out for her.

"I really hope someone isn't speaking in third person again." She eyed me as she took my hand and pulled herself up from the floor.

I let out a fake gasp then laughed. "No Sonny I was talking about you. But as we're on the subject I'm pretty tired myself!" I yawned and stretched my arms dramatically.

"Whatever Chad." She chuckled slapping my chest. "I'll go and get dressed, you can tidy up." She winked as she skipped out into the bedroom. Stupid cute.

-oo---------oo-

For about 20 minutes I tossed and turned trying to sleep however I could feel Sonny beside me and knowing she was still awake too I couldn't sleep one bit.

"…Chad..." Sonny whispered after another few minutes of silence.

"Mmhm." I mumbled and opened my eyes to see she was facing me.

"Are you awake?" This made me chuckle.

"Yes Sonny I'm awake." I could faintly see her toothy grin through the dark.

"Oh sorry, did I wake you up?" She bit her lip as she said this making me shiver.

"No, I was already awake, what's up?" I asked.

"The sky." She laughed at her own joke.

"You know Sonny; I love your unfunny jokes so much in the day so they are even funnier at night!" I tried to keep my sarcasm light to stop a repeat of today's events.

"You know Chad; your sarcasm gets old too!" I joined in as she laughed again at her own joke. My sarcasm never gets old.

We fell into a comfortable silence as I watched her close her eyes for a while; I couldn't take my gaze off of her. Just as I though she had fallen asleep…

"Chad." She whispered still with her eyes closed.

"Yeah?" I whispered still watching her face.

"I'm sorry, about earlier, I'm not embarrassed of you and I don't think any of those things I said." I wondered if she was dreaming but she opened her eyes to prove me wrong.

"Sonny you were right to say that, that's how the whole world sees me, that's how I want them to see me, it's not your fault." I replied staring into her eyes.

A small smile crept up onto her face. "Chad I know you're not like that, and so do you. So why do you want to keep up the reputation of 'Hollywood's Bad Boy'?"

Truthfully I've never really thought about it, no-one wants to be known as the bad guy. But that's just how things worked out, when I started out on Mackenzie Falls I was young, the press took advantage of what I said and twisted my words. Once I received this reputation it stuck with me, my agent said most girls like bad boys and to prove that point I look at all the fans I have today. They all love me because of the image I've been given, not for me and Sonny knew this.

"Because Sonny, the fans want this. They want me to be bad and without my fans I wouldn't be here today." I explained closing my eyes.

Sonny took my right hand in hers, playing with my fingers. "You see Chad, you don't need to be that way, you can change."

"It's not that easy. Wait, why do you care so much?" I asked. She took her hand out of my grasp and turned on her back to face the ceiling.

"Chad, you know I'm a caring person." She said turning her face away from me, trying to hide her face.

I slid closer towards her - taking her chin in my hand and turning her to face me. "Sonny look at me please."

Unwillingly she turned to face me. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I don't know." She said closing her eyes.

"What do you mean, you don't know?"

"Well, when I read those articles today what they wrote about you, it wasn't fair Chad! I know the real you, yeah you're vain and really big headed. But that's what makes you, you. Why don't you let people see that guy?" She asked, her innocent eyes looking up at me searching for an answer.

"I let you see him." I looked into her eyes and smiled.

"I guess that will do for now." She whispered, smiling back. "Goodnight Chad."

She reached over to my face and placed a kiss on my cheek, her lips lingered there for a moment then she turned around to go to sleep as I did the same.

The tingles remained on my cheek; even in my dreams.

A/N: I think. Chad is way OCC in this chapter and I used too many italics and it's pretty bad. I need some proper action instead of feelings all the time, don't you think? Please review, I think I need them because I need to know what I did wrong!!
