Title: Getting To Know The Real Chad

Chapter: 2

Disclaimer: If I owned SWAC, this would become an episode. Do I own SWAC? Take that as a no.

After grabbing a cab and arriving at their hotel, both Chad and Sonny went up to the main desk to get their key cards. Chad had taken Sonny's bag for her, and was wheeling both suitcases up to the desk.

Sonny stopped dead in her tracks before she could get to the counter, and Chad had to break an arm to stop one of the suitcases from running her over. "Hold on a second… did Marshall book another room for you?"

"Oh god. I forgot to tell him!" Chad exclaimed, slapping his hand across his eyes dramatically.

"Really Chad?" Sonny mumbled as she walked up to the desk.

"Good evening miss." A man at the desk smiled, "What room are you staying in?"

"We're staying in room 206." Sonny said, after reading the note Marshall had taped to her ticket. As the person at the desk went to go grab the key-cards, a teenager wheeled a carousel over to Sonny.

"May I take your bags to your room?" He smiled at Sonny, and took her bags from Chad without waiting for an answer. He smirked at how she blushed, and opened his mouth to ask what her name was when Chad stepped in.

"Here's mine as well. We're staying in the same suite." He exclaimed, practically knocking the guy over with his suitcase.

"Right away sir." The teenager fled, reluctantly, from the couple to take the bags to their room.

Sonny frowned and grabbed the key cards, "What was that?"

Chad looked down at the ground, and followed the weaving designs in the carpet with his eyes, "I… um…"

She tapped her foot, which made Chad look up, startled. He sighed, "I don't think I have to explain. You saw the way he was looking at you."

"He was looking at me like I was a guest at this hotel, Chad."

"Sonny, you know full well that he was looking at you like he was going to invite you to his own suite to spend the night."

She groaned and left him standing in the same spot as she marched to the elevator. He hurried behind her, and just made it inside the cab. She angrily pushed the button for the floor they were staying on, and crossed her arms over her cheest.

"I'm sorry I blew your chance with him Sonny, if that's why you're mad." Chad mumbled from beside her.

Her eyes widened, and she turned to the actor beside her with guilt at the sight of his sad eyes.

"I'm not mad at you for that Chad." She rolled her eyes, "He wasn't even cute. I was upset that you wouldn't tell me why you did that for me."

"Well…"

"It's fine Chad." She mumbled as the door clicked open. They walked to the end of the hall and entered the suite they would be sharing for the next few weeks.

The gold walls and marble floors sparkled from the light cast from the open windows. Plush carpets, Leather furniture, and Gold Accents were scattered around the whole suite.

Sonny walked through the open rooms with awe, and inspected each door to find that there was only one bedroom, and one bathroom. But the fact that both the bed and the tub were big enough to fit over 8 people in them at one time was what made her jaw drop.

"Whoa, this is better than my own apartment." Chad whispered as he too looked around each room.

Sonny bit her lip as she walked to the opposite corner of the room and flung herself at the huge bed, giggling as she sunk into a sea of ruby sheets and pillows.

"Allison Monroe, you continue to amaze me." He chuckled to himself and jumped onto the bed after her.

Sonny laid on her side and propped her head up on her hand, "You've never called me Allison before."

Chad frowned, "It's your name though."

"I know. I'm just used to Sonny." She giggled, "But I like the way you say my real name."

"I do have a way with people."

She threw a pillow at his face, "Shut up."

After talking for a few more minutes, the rumbling of Chad's stomach acted like an alarm clock. They both raced to the kitchen to see what food was there.

"Hm… We could have macaroni and cheese." Sonny pondered as she held up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese.

"Psh. Macaroni and cheese from the box is too easy to make." Sonny raised her eyebrow as Chad started placing different ingredients on the island. "It tastes way better if it's homemade."

Sonny giggled, "Chad Dylan Cooper knows how to cook?"

He shrugged as his cheeks started to blush, "Yeah, my mom taught me."

"Aw, Chad, that's so sweet." She smiled and sat down in a stool across the island from him.

Chad rolled his eyes, "I guess I'm making this all by myself then?"

"Oh!" Sonny jumped off the stool and scooted next to him, "Put me to work Sergeant Cooper."

While he was chuckling, Chad tossed a bag of lettuce and a bowl over to Sonny "Chop up the tomatoes, carrots, and grab the croutons. Then put them in with the lettuce."

Sonny did what she was told, and snuck a few glances at Chad as he prepared the Macaroni and Cheese.

After finishing the salad, she set it on the table in the little dinning room, and set up the plates and silverware.

"All ready." She exclaimed as she walked into the kitchen to see how Chad was doing with his task.

He glanced over at the oven, "About 10 minutes left. Have a seat Monroe."

She took a seat and rested her arm on the island, balancing her head in her hand, "So…"

"So…" Chad chuckled and leaned on the island as well, "When is your first interview?"

Sonny tossed her hair over her shoulder, "Tomorrow at 3."

"Ellen?"

"How did you know?" She let out giggle.

Chad smirked, "Were doing the interview together, I guess."

"Oh great." She muttered and heaved a dramatic sigh.

"And here I thought you were beginning to like me." Chad exclaimed, pretending to wipe away tears, "You just broke my heart Sonny."

Sonny grinned, "Thanks."

"You're really not as 'sunny' as most people think you are." Chad explained and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

She nodded, "Well, you're really not as rude as most people think you are."

"Yeah. I've got quite the rep. But hey, it wasn't my fault."

Sonny frowned, "Really?"

"Really." Chad looked down at his hands, "I was new on the set, and they tricked me into looking bad in interviews. And ever since then, people have an expectation that I'm a jerk. I got tired of trying to change their minds, and stopped being nice."

"Aw. Chad, that's so sad." Sonny reached out and put her hand on his shoulder comfortingly, "I… I never really knew why you were mean… but I could tell that it wasn't the real you."

He let out a sad laugh, "Yeah, you're the only one who knows that." His eyes looked up to catch hers and he gave her a small smile, "But I'm glad it's you that gets to see the real me."

Sonny nodded, and just when Chad opened his mouth to say something, the timer went off.

He pulled the Macaroni and Cheese out of the oven, and brought it to the table. They both sat down to eat, and Sonny found herself practically moaning at how good it tasted.

"Chad, this is delicious." Sonny grinned, "I didn't know what I was missing!"

He shrugged, playing it cool as he tried to hide the blush that grew on his cheeks, "It's nothing."

Sonny rolled her eyes, "Sure it is Chad. This is the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had in my life, and I'm in love with macaroni and cheese."

"Well that must be a great relationship."

She giggled, "Don't be smart Chad."

"I can if I want to."
