Ok I know I'm updating like --everyday, but that usually doesn't happen with me. I am in love with this story basically! :D i don't know if I can upload tomorrow though, so don't hate me if there isn't a new chapter. :P

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, 88 so far -- whoa. :D

Sonny woke up the next morning to the sound of Chad taking a shower. This time, she didn't freak out, and instead started getting her stuff around for the photo shoot she was going to.

She picked out her red plaid tunic shirt and black skinny jeans, with a pair of black ankle boots. She sighed and sat on the bed, waiting for Chad to get out of the bathroom.

Her eyes widened when he walked out, fully clothed, and hair dried not even three minutes later.

"How did you…?" Sonny exclaimed.

Chad laughed, "Thought I would take a few hours, huh?"

"Well, your hair is always perfect." Sonny mumbled, defended herself.

He blushed, "It's just the way my hair is, Allison."

Sonny rolled her eyes and grabbed her clothes, "Well then you really are naturally perfect then."

"I get it from my parents." Chad replied, his tone slightly bitter.

Sonny turned around and looked him in the eye, "You don't like your parents?"

Chad sighed and sat down on the bed, his eyes dropped to the floor, "No. My parents don't like me."

"Why?" Sonny exclaimed, her voice full of concern. Her eyes widened seconds later, "I-I didn't mean to intrude. I'm really sorry Chad, you know things just come out of my mouth and I can't stop it. It's just something I was born with and-"

"Babbling must be another 'chuckle city' thing." Chad chuckled, "Just take your shower Sonny."

She nodded and made her way to the bathroom. As she turned on the shower, she realized that Chad hadn't answered her question.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

"No, I'm not letting you g-"

Chad rolled his eyes, "No one says no to Chad Dylan Cooper, Sonny. Haven't you learned your lesson already?"

"Chad, you're not going with me!" Sonny exclaimed, for possibly the thousandth time that morning.

"Yes, I really am." Chad smirked, "Why would you let down the person who made you French toast for breakfast?"

Sonny's shoulders dropped and she let out a defeated sigh, "Just don't get in the way."

Chad did a little victory dance, which made Sonny start laughing. She pulled him out the door and into the elevator at the end of the hall.

"Just think if we had to use the stairs everyday." Chad let out a whistle, "We'd have to walk 24 flights of stairs? I don't think so."

Sonny put a hand over her ears to block him out and waited for the elevator doors to open. They walked out of the hotel, into a cab, and arrived at the building where Sonny would have her photo-shoot.

"Stay there." Sonny pointed to a chair in the front room, where the backdrop for the photo-shoot could be seen.

Chad put his hands up in mock surrender, "Don't tell me what to-"

"I'll make you go back to the hotel! I swear Chad Dylan Cooper you are the most-" Sonny turned around quickly as someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"We have to get you though hair and make up miss." A petite woman exclaimed nervously, clearly afraid Sonny would lash out at her how she did at Chad.

Sonny nodded and followed the woman to a small room, turning around briefly to give Chad a quick glare when he exclaimed, "Diva!" In a sing song voice.

Chad rolled his eyes as he reached over to the coffee table and flipped through a magazine. He smirked as he counted how many pictures and articles of Mackenzie Falls were on the pages.

And how many So Random was not in.

Chad let out a laugh and put the magazine back, as he was picking up a new one, he saw Sonny walk onto the backdrop for the photo-shoot out of the corner of his eye. She was wearing a black dress and pink heels, which matched a thin pink belt on her waist. Her hair was down, as usual, and Chad's eyes were immediately drawn to her curls. His hands ached to reach out and run his fingers through her hair.

Oh God, why can't I stop thinking about her?!

"Alright. Sonny Monroe's first photo-shoot for our magazine." The photographer smiled as he attached a lens to his high tech camera. He walked out to her, and said something that Chad couldn't hear before walking back behind his camera.

"Go ahead, we'll start with some of you standing." The camera clicked as Sonny put a big smile on her face. Chad watched as she posed like a pro and then she sat down in a chair an assistant brought out to her.

The photographer clicked away, capturing every pose she gave to him, and frowned when his memory card went full. "Ok, wardrobe change while I grab a new card and fix the tripod.

Sonny danced off into a dressing room and emerged with a yellow T-shirt, green skirt, and floral blazer on. She sat down for the next pictures and kicked her shoes off for the last few.

"One more wardrobe change then we're done."

Chad looked at his watch, amazed at how an hour had gone by so quickly and turned back down at the magazine in his lap. He got caught up in an article about Sonny being on So Random and didn't notice Sonny as she walked up to him.

Sonny finished up the photo-shoot and caught Chad looking at another magazine as she put on her coat.

"Ready to go Cooper?"

Chad jumped and let out a laugh, "Warnings are always nice Monroe."

"But then that would mean giving you an advantage." Sonny giggled as he narrowed his eyes at her.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

They arrived back at the hotel and Chad went into the bedroom to talk to his director on the phone about interviews coming up.

Sonny sighed and turned on the TV, turning it to a station that sometimes showed So Random re-runs.

She was hoping that So Random was on, and let out a groan when the Mackenzie Fall's intro showed up onscreen. After deciding to watch it, she grabbed a bowl of popcorn from the kitchen and sat down to watch her first episode of Mackenzie Falls.

Fifteen minutes later, when Chad opened the door to the bedroom and walked into the living room he had to hold back his laughter. Instead, a cocky smile spread on his face as he watched Sonny stare at the TV.

Her eyes were wide, and she was leaning forward unconsciously, and it looked like she was about to cry.

Chad snuck up beside her and sat down on her left side, putting his arm on the back of the couch - and coincidentally around her shoulders.

"Oh God!" Sonny exclaimed and jumped, popcorn flying everywhere, "Chad! A warning would be nice!"

Chad tilted his head to the side and smiled, "Aw, but that would mean giving you an advantage Monroe."

"Don't use my own words!" Sonny narrowed her eyes at him

He glared back, "Don't use MY own words then."

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Sonny clenched her jaw, "Good."

"Good." Chad rolled his eyes.

"Fine!"

"Fine!" He stood up, ending the argument. Sonny huffed and picked up the popcorn on the floor. She was shocked when Chad bent down to help her, and put the bowl in between them.

Chad let out a long sigh, "Well I always knew there would be a day like this."

"A day like what?"

"A day when the amazing Chad Dylan Cooper was going to give Sonny Monroe a heartfelt apology." Chad chuckled, and Sonny blushed. "I really am sorry Sonny. I didn't mean to scare you so much."

Sonny smiled and picked up the last popcorn piece, "Apology accepted." She looked down at her feet and mumbled, "I'm sorry for using your words."

"Apology not accepted." Chad grinned as he sat back down on the couch.

She sent him a confused look, which turned into a glare as she walked over to the kitchen with her now uneatable popcorn. After placing it on the counter, a pair of hands grabbed her hips and flipped her around.

"I meant that you didn't need to apologize Sonny." Chad whispered, his eyes sad, "I used your words too."

"Yeah, but I started it." Sonny looked down at her shoes.

Chad tipped her chin up with his right hand and looked deep in her eyes, "You don't need to apologize for me being a jerk. I just can't turn it off sometimes, it's like I can't find the switch."

Sonny let out a nervous giggle and he continued, "I'm really trying Sonny. I'm trying to bring out the real me. But I'm still obnoxious arrogant Chad Dylan Cooper." He rolled his eyes, "Ambassador of Jerkaslovakia."

She let out a louder giggle and he dropped his hand, and took a step away. "I'm speechless Chad. I don't know what to say."

Chad ignored the voice inside his head screaming to kiss her, practically yelling at himself for still not having control of his hormones around Sonny. He smiled and quickly took another route.

"I say - let's finish that episode of Mackenzie Falls!" Chad exclaimed and raced back to the couch. Sonny giggled as she followed him, and found herself getting back into the show quickly.

Okay, not entirely sure how to spell 'jerkaslovakia' so I took a random guess. :D

Review please, It makes me smile! :D
