Sonny woke up in the morning to find that Chad wasn't in the bed next to her. Her eyebrows raised in suspicion and confusion and she got out of bed quickly to walk to the kitchen.
He was sitting at the island on a barstool, his head in his hands, and there was a box of doughnuts next to him. At the sound of her footsteps on the tile, he turned around to lock eyes with her.
"Are you ok?" Chad asked, standing up from the stool to put his arms around her.
"Yeah, Chad, I'm fine." She smiled, "I just needed to get my frustration out of my system."
"You do realize what those pictures will do, don't you?"
She frowned and shook her head, "Um… yeah, people will know we're dating."
"That's not all!" Chad exclaimed and sat back down on the barstool, "I knew I would regret the reputation I have someday. And now I do."
"Chad, this wasn't your f-"
"It was!" Chad frowned, "They follow me everywhere, trying to find a picture of me with my next girl, and that girl is now you. So now everyone is going to think I'm still the sweetest guy in the world - and now you're basically a slut all because I kissed you."
Sonny shook her head, "They wouldn't say that. It was just a kiss for crying out loud! We weren't doing anything wrong."
Chad bit his lip angrily and passed her a newspaper.
She gave him a confused look before bringing her eyes down to the newspaper.
"Sonny Monroe, is She Really as Sweet as We Think She is?"
Sonny let out a forced chuckle at the title and mumbled, "It doesn't say I'm a slut, Chad."
"You have to read the whole article."
Sonny read the rest of the front page, and turned to the next section to continue when another picture made her jaw drop. She should've known that there would be pictures of them sleeping in the same bed, but the way the photo was taken, it looked like both of them were completely naked underneath the blankets.
"What the-"
"I know." Chad groaned and combed his hands though his hair angrily, "And yet you see, they hardly talk about me at all. And throughout the whole article they're hinting that it was all you, and nothing about me."
Sonny frowned, "They think I raped you?!"
Chad let out a small chuckle, "They think you would have to rape me for the sweet Chad Dylan Cooper to have sex with you. Clearly, the fact that I'm just as much - or possibly more - attracted to you, as you are to me… didn't cross their minds."
"My mother is going to freak out." Sonny threw the newspaper on the table, "She thinks we're friends, and I didn't tell her about us dating."
Chad gave her a small smile, "I think your mother will be only a small part of the problem."
"Oh god!" Sonny exclaimed, her hands wove through her hair, "Our shows are going to see it! My old friends… your parents!"
"What's so bad about my parents knowing?" Chad muttered, stumbling slightly on the word 'parents.'
"Well… I thought I could meet them…" Sonny whispered, looking down at the floor, "That's usually the custom, right?… Now they think-"
Chad shook his head and interrupted, "My parents hate me, so you could do anything and still not be as bad as I am."
Sonny looked up from the ground and walked over to him, putting her hands on his chest, "Chad?" Her voice was a small whisper.
His eyes moved up to meet hers, "You wouldn't want to know them."
"But I do." Sonny frowned, "You've met my parents at one point or another."
"Yes, but you have parents that love you." Chad explained, looking back down at his shoes.
Sonny let out a sigh, "Chad, can't we talk about this?"
"No." He muttered, "I… I just can't."
Her hands on his chest slid up behind his shoulders, and she pulled herself closer to give him a hug. "I love you, Chad. I want to help, but it's fine if you don't feel like talking about it with me."
Chad slowly let his arms rest on her back, and closed his eyes as he hugged her back. She pulled away slightly to look into his eyes, "You… you don't blame this on yourself… do you?"
He dropped his arms and gave her a quick nod, "Who else would be to blame?"
"Chad, look at me." He looked her in the eyes, "I. Love. You."
"As I love you."
Sonny sighed, "That's not what I'm saying. I love you, and you can't blame everything on yourself. A relationship is made with two people, not just one."
"I know-"
"No, you don't, because you still blame yourself." Sonny groaned, "Chad, the only ones who should feel guilty are the people who took the pictures."
He nodded, "But-"
"No Buts." Sonny let out a chuckle, "I don't care if people saw us kissing, I would do anything, Chad, to keep you. I love you, and a few pictures and articles isn't going to change anything."
He gave her a small smile, "I did look pretty sexy in the last photo."
"It was photo-shopped Chad."
He shook his head, "No, that was all Chad. I don't wear a shirt, remember, they just photo-shopped the straps of your tank top off of you."
She looked down at the picture, "Huh… you're right."
"I always am."
"I beg to differ." Sonny muttered and rolled her eyes, "Please don't tell me we have an interview today."
Chad shook his head, "We don't. But we do have an autograph session."
"Where is that?"
"I don't really know. I think we're going to-" His cell phone rang in his pocket and he answered it quickly. After stepping out of the kitchen to continue his call, Sonny reached for the box of doughnuts and grabbed one, eating it quickly.
Chad walked back in to see that Sonny had taken his chair, and he gave her a smirk, "Excuse me, Monroe?"
"Something wrong?" She giggled from the chair, swinging her legs while she ate her doughnut.
He looked down at her chocolate covered fingers, "You ate the best doughnut!"
"Hey, you had the chance. You know I can't resist chocolate frosting." Sonny smiled and put her finger in the frosting, offering him some.
Chad stepped closer and licked the frosting of her pointer finger, she bit her lip as he pulled away. Sonny dipped her finger back on the doughnut to pick up more frosting, which Chad took his time licking off her finger again.
"Mm, chocolate and Sonny." Chad smirked at her and leaned forward to connect their lips.
Sonny smiled into the kiss, and set her doughnut down on the counter, putting her arms around his neck. Chad pulled her closer, and deepened their kiss. Just as he was about to bring his hand up to her hair, he pulled away quickly.
Sonny's breath came out in gasps, "What's… wrong?"
"I don't know if… there's still a camera in here." Chad explained, and looked around the room, "We need to get the hotel staff to look up here."
He gave her one last peck on her lips before grabbing their card key and walking to the door, "Get ready for the autograph session, we have to leave in two hours, I'll be back soon."
Sonny nodded and listened for the door to click closed. When she turned towards the counter, her doughnut was no where in sight.
Why that sneaky little jerk!
"Chad." She muttered and stormed to the bathroom.
--
The second Sonny stepped through the hotel door later that night, after hours of signing things for her fans, her cellphone started ringing.
She let out a sigh and answered it, "Hello?"
"Allison Monroe." Her mother exclaimed, her voice stern, "What exactly is the meaning of those pictures?!"
"Mom I-"
"Just because you're away to NYC without me doesn't mean you can go around sleeping with boys!" Mrs. Monroe exclaimed, "You better have a good explanation before your father gets a hold of today's paper."
Sonny sighed, "Mom, Chad and I weren't sleeping together." She frowned, "Well… we were, in literal means. But we weren't having sex."
"Then why are you both shirtless under those blankets?" Her mother questioned, her voice still accusing.
"Because there's such thing as photo-shopping these days." Sonny replied, sarcastically.
"Don't use that tone of voice on me." Mrs. Monroe grumbled, then let out a sigh, "I know I shouldn't have just accused you, Sonny. You're my little girl, you wouldn't do something like that at the age of 16."
Sonny laughed, "Do you hear what you're saying?"
"What?"
"I'm sixteen, mom, I'm not a little girl anymore." Sonny let out another little laugh, "There are girls that get pregnant at the age of 13. I'm sixteen and I just had my first kiss a few days ago… which was broad-casted on national television."
Her mother was silent for a moment, and Sonny could hear her playing with the cord on the phone. "I'm sorry Sonny. I know it's cliché but I just can't think of you as anything but my little girl. Your father is worse, and when he sees these pictures, he's going to need some convincing not to hunt Chad down."
"I love you both." Sonny bit her lip, "But I'm in love with Chad. And it will really upset me if dad doesn't like him, all because of a rumor."
"I'll talk to him sweetie." Mrs. Monroe smiled, "But you might want to warn Chad."
Sonny giggled, "He'll charm dad into liking him anyway."
"I'm sure he will." Mrs. Monroe let out a laugh, "He looks pretty built in this photo, it's not hard to see why girls like him so much."
"Mom!" Sonny's jaw dropped, "Did you just call my boyfriend 'built'?"
"Goodbye Sonny." Her mother chuckled and hung up.
Chad walked into the living room with a shocked look on his face, "Did I hear that your mother was checking me out?"
"Oh God." Sonny rolled her eyes as Chad stepped closer to her.
"Do you think I've got an awesome bod?" He smirked and put his hand on her hips.
Sonny blushed, "Of course n-" Chad gave her a look, "You don't need the extra ego boost, especially from your girlfriend."
Chad frowned, "I'm not fishing for comments, I just want to know."
"Fine!" Sonny exclaimed and threw her hands up in the air in surrender, "Yes, I think you have an 'awesome bod.'"
"Alright!" Chad did a victory dance, "Sonny thinks I'm hot!"
"I never said that honey." She rolled her eyes.
Chad sighed and teased, "It was implied baby."
She giggled and leaned forward to give him a short kiss, her eyes shone as she pulled away, and her arms wrapped around his body to give him a hug.
"You did talk to the hotel staff about the cameras, right?"
Chad nodded, "They found two hidden cameras while we were at our autograph session, and they're only putting trusted staff in our room from now on."
"Good." Sonny let out a sigh of relief and pulled away to give him another, more passionate kiss. "Now we can finally kiss without being watched."
He smirked, "We can kiss whenever you want, however you want, and as long as you want."
She giggled and leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "Good, because I want to make up for lost time."
Chad smirked and dropped his head to her neck where he started to slowly trail kisses up to her jaw. He gave her a lopsided grin, "And just for the record, baby, you have a pretty amazing bod yourself."
With a embarrassed giggle from Sonny, Chad grabbed her around the waist and walked backwards into the nearest wall, starting to put all his efforts into kissing a certain brunette's soft lips.
