Authors Note: THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED! SERIOUSLY - I was BLOWN away! :D You guys make my day... and, er, night. :D
---Just to let you guys know, I've never really written an 'M' rated story, but if the story heads in that direction, I might end up changing it. It won't be that bad I don't think. I'll let you know if the scenes are too scandalous. :D Let me know if changing the rating would make anyone mad. :D---
Sonny sighed tiredly as she slid into the yellow taxi seat. Chad let out a sigh as well, and leaned his head against the back of the seat.
"Where to?" The cab driver asked, clearly more tired and annoyed than he should be.
Chad gave him the directions, then let his eyes close slightly. Sonny grinned and let her head lean on Chad's shoulder.
Ever since she had first put her head on his shoulder, she'd always wanted to do it again. With a ten minute drive ahead of them, Sonny marveled in the comfort of his shoulder.
Chad slowly let his arm wrap around her back, pulling her closer to him in the process, which made Sonny feel even more protected.
For some reason, Chad's arms were much stronger than she initially thought they were, and having them around her made her stomach flutter.
"Sonny?" He whispered.
She groaned and mumbled, "What?"
"We're at the hotel." He grinned and helped her out of the cab. They walked slowly into the hotel and over to the elevator.
Sonny rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up better as they waited for the elevator to go up to their floor. She turned to Chad with a smirk, "So we're friends, huh?"
Chad blushed slightly and shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno… I guess we are… aren't we?"
"Yeah, I think we are Chad." Sonny whispered, "We got along enough to sleep in the same bed."
Chad let out a laugh at that, and the elevator doors opened with a ding.
They walked to the door, Chad unlocked it, and then locked the door behind them. After helping Sonny out of her pea coat, Chad picked up his cell phone.
"How does pizza sound?"
"It sounds amazing right now." Sonny grinned, "Mm… and chicken wings."
Chad grinned and stepped into the kitchen to make the call for delivery. Sonny hung up their coats and made her way into the living room, she then put away all the pillows and blankets Chad had left out, and rummaged through the DVD case to find a good movie.
"It'll be here in 30 minutes." Chad exclaimed as he walked into the room, and flopped down on the couch. His eyebrows rose when Sonny let out a laugh, "What's so funny?"
"They have all 5 seasons of Mackenzie Falls in DVD." Sonny giggled.
Chad let out a laugh himself, and then sighed, "I'm already sick of that show."
"Well anyone who has been on a TV show for over 5 seasons gets sick of it." Sonny sympathized and added another DVD to the small pile by her feet.
Chad snickered, "Transformers?"
Sonny spun around and pointed her finger at him accusingly, "Excuse me? It's one of my favorite movies!"
"Ok ok!" Chad held his hands up in surrender, "What else do you have?"
Sonny read through titles, and they finally decided on watching Transformers - after Sonny had begged.
The doorbell dinged and Chad ran to it, money in hand, to get the pizza. They laid out the pizza and wings on the coffee table before filling plates with the food.
Sonny sat close enough to Chad for their legs to be touching, but just touching each other. When the movie was halfway through, Chad ended up putting his plate on the table, while Sonny's was sitting next to her on the couch.
Unconsciously, Sonny's head leaned back against Chad's shoulder again. Chad couldn't help but smile, and slid his arm around her shoulder. When the movie ended, Chad didn't move, afraid to wake Sonny- who had fallen asleep after a few minutes on Chad's shoulder.
He let out a quiet sigh and moved slightly to turn off the TV before scooping her up in his arms. Chad carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed, debating whether or not to wake her up.
After one look at her peaceful face, he decided he couldn't wake her up, and instead climbed in bed with her.
Right before he was about to fall asleep, he could hear Sonny whispering in her sleep.
"…Chad…" His eyes widened and he leaned over closer to her, to try to listen to what she was saying. "… So strong…"
Chad chuckled at that and fell asleep listening to her whisper his name every so often.
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
Sonny's eyes fluttered open slowly, and she took a deep breath. Her eyes widened when the air around her was filled with the scent of Chad.
Her heart started racing when she realized her pillow smelled like Chad, because it was Chad. His chest rose and fell softly with each breath, and made Sonny feel tired again. She closed her eyes and soon fell back to sleep.
An hour later she woke up in the bed, but was back on her pillow, and Chad was nowhere to be found.
She looked around the entire suite and started panicking, "Chad?!?"
His coat was still on the hook and his shoes were still near the door, yet he wasn't anywhere.
"Chad!" She exclaimed and raced back to the bedroom.
"What?" He opened the bathroom door, toothbrush in his mouth, and towel around his waist.
She sighed and looked at the ceiling, "Oh thank God you're Ok!" She lowered her gaze and then noticed that he was completely shirtless for the first time in front of her, "I… I thought y-you were… l-lost."
Her eyes traveled up and down his muscled torso, and she had a hard time keeping her jaw from dropping.
Chad smiled at how horrible she was at hiding the fact that she was staring at him, "I just got out of the shower a few minutes ago."
Sonny shook her head and looked up at his face, "Uh… right. Well, I'll just… make breakfast." She turned around regretfully and left the room slowly.
Chad grinned as he watched her walk away before shutting himself in the bathroom again.
As Sonny poured bowls of cereal out for them, she frowned at how stupid she must have looked. Her eyes sparkled as she came up with the best plan for revenge, and she waited patiently for Chad to come to the table.
"Good morning Sunshine." He grinned and sat at his place at the table.
"Good morning Cooper." Sonny grinned back.
Chad narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched her eat her cereal, knowing that she was planning something. "Anyways. I was wondering if you wanted to go out to the city today. Do a little sight seeing?"
"Oh yes!" She grinned and jumped in her seat, "I can't wait to go to times square! Oh, and the empire state building! Or-"
Chad rolled his eyes, "We'll map it all out once you're dressed and ready."
Sonny nodded and looked down at her clothes, which were the same clothes she wore yesterday, "I fell asleep during the movie didn't I?"
"Yeah you did." Chad mumbled, and she thought that he was blushing.
"I… I had the weirdest dream though." Sonny put on a fake confused face as she started her revenge, "I had woken up after sleeping on your chest, and you were actually holding me to you."
"T-that's some dream you had, S-Sonny." Chad put on a smile.
Sonny frowned, "But it just felt so real."
"W-well… you know what they say about d-dreams!"
"Actually, I really don't Chad. Care to enlighten me?" Sonny smirked and laid her cereal aside to look at him fully.
Chad blushed, "Well… OK, so it wasn't a dream. It was real. I didn't just pick up your body and lay it on mine though!"
"I don't know if I can believe that Chad. You're certainly strong enough to pick me up." Sonny giggled.
He smirked, "Yeah. Well the part where you started moaning my name in your sleep had nothing to do with me."
"I did not!" Sonny's jaw dropped, and her cheeks turned pink.
"Oh but you did." Chad chuckled and used a high pitched voice to mimic her, "Oh Chad! You're sooo strong Chad!"
Sonny rolled her eyes, "In your dreams Cooper."
"Technically, not mine, but yours Monroe." Chad grinned and picked up his cereal bowl, leaving her in the dinning room with her mouth agape.
