Chapter Seven: Flowers - "Flowers are the number one way to express appreciation, aside from loving your partner for who they are, say the old school romantics. It's true; only the best follow tradition..."

X x

Disgusting. That's what he was. James was utterly diabolical! To just leave her for Tawni and all because he figured that he couldn't have her! He was like a baby; he couldn't have something so he automatically caused trouble and threw a large tantrum until he got whatever he wanted. He just did it with slightly more class than a toddler did and actually had the guts to portray such childish, idiotic behaviour. Well, no matter how "classy" it was, he had no right! Girls' hearts were not toys and that's the number one rule about a girls emotions. The one rule that he didn't understand and so flaunted his idiocy to every girl he met.

As much as she tried to convince herself that it didn't bother her, Sonny was upset. She couldn't shake the thought that she had believed his stupid act and hadn't listened to Tawni. Even though she had broken up with him last night - up close, no less! - with the aid of her blonde haired friend, Tawni, it still ached to think that once, she had completely trusted such a player with her precious feelings. How could she have been so dense?

She sat in a fluffy chair, blanket and cup of orange juice in hand as she moped silently. She just wished that there was something - or someone - who cared enough to make the pain go away. Even if only for a little while. She would even kill for an arguement with her favourite jerk, Chad Dylan Cooper, otherwise known as "CDC"

Chad.

Did she want him to come to her? Or was she just deluded because of the pain in her chest? She couldn't quite tell, but she had a firm belief in the pit of her stomach that she wanted an everyday arguement with him. She wanted to say the words and now that she had thought about it for a fraction of a second, she realised something important. That with James, her familiarity was limited. She wouldn't be able to argue with him much, less he wanted to leave her. The fact that she wouldn't be able to argue for the heck of it made her feel trapped; like she was being controlled to be someone that she wasn't and Sonny didn't like that at all. She felt that if she wasn't being who she was, then what was the point of being in a relationship? The partner that you have chosen (or that has chosen you if you wanted to be really cheesy) should love you for who you are, hence why her and James didn't work. Besides, he only wanted her because he felt that he couldn't have her; he wanted to defy limitations and that was it.

What she wouldn't do for -

"Hey! CDC's knocking here!" She heard from the other side of the door and she scolded herself for suddenly perking up at the sound of his voice.

Chad.

"Alright, alright! Geez, I'm coming!" Sonny exclaimed, exasperated, whilst flailing her arms around. She silently thanked whatever was up there that there was a door between her display and Chad; she would have had some explaining to do if he were to see her little arm spasm just then.

"Well hurry up." He retorted arrogantly, and she rolled her eyes. Same old, ignorant Chad right there. Well, at least one thing was still normal.

She reached the door and tugged it open to reveal a simply dressed Chad. Khaki pants with a black jacket, a simple white t-shirt peeking out from his open zip. His hands were shoved carelessly behind his back as he stared at Sonny with those same brilliant blue eyes, a slight kink of the eyebrow as he raised it at her curiously. She shrugged and gestured for him to come in. He narrowed his eyes slightly in speculation and then walked in, being careful to keep his front to her at all times. She frowned inquisitively and then tried to grab him to turn him around.

"What'cha got there Chad?" She questioned in a fake sweet voice, blinking cutely at him through her thick eyelashes. She even reached down to fiddle with a piece of her hair and she watched his sturdy expression falter breifly, though it was about a brief second before he regained his composire and simply smirked at her.

"Nothin'" He replied, feigning a gentle tone whilst gazing steadily at her. Her expression fell and she looked at him, hoping that he would take pity on her and just let her into his little secret.

"Come on Chad! Please?" She begged, feeling her mind slip away from the hurt of the whole James fiasco and onto the handsome blonde in front of her. This could well be the normality that she needed to get over James quickly and efficiently and so she welcomed it with welcome arms. Though it was unusual to see Chad with his hands behind his back. What was he hiding?

"Sorry Munroe." He stated with a mischevious grin, backing away from her as she took a tiny step forward, trying to see behind his broad shoulders. "You think that's going to work?" Chad added when he saw what she was trying to do, scoffing loudly. She gained a pout and then fell serious in an instant.

"Chad. Show me what it is." She ordered, staring at him defiantly.

"Why do you want to know so bad?" He enquired, trotting towards a table so that it could rest between them when she continued to follow him. He glanced at her from across the table, a shifty looking smile looming around on his face proudly. He felt his heart beat slightly quicker as the chase grew a little, the pair jogging around it, Sonny making frezical grabs for him, whilst he dodged her attempts effotlessly.

"Sonny, stop it!" He chuckled, still opposite her, even after all that effort on her behalf, a Chad-like grin on his face. His eyes scrutinized her carefully as her eyes lowered deviously, most definitely devising a plan in a blink of his bright blue eyes.

"Nope! For all I know, you could have something harmful to So Random!." She commented swiftly, taking her turn to smirk. That was her reason that would have to satisfy her for now, for she couldn't risk telling him that she secretly, wrongly, enjoyed his company, no matter what they were doing. She would do anything with him so long as she could spend time with him, but she wasn't prepared to explain that to him. Not yet.

"Oh please, I, the star of Mackezie Falls might I add, came all the way over here just to jeprodize your only filming camera." He retorted sarcastically, even adding a mock pout for good measures!

"How did you know we only had one?" Sonny breathed, squinting her eyes so that they looked suspicious.

"Pfft, you expect me to believe that the Randoms have the money to own more than one camera when they have such a crummy show? Please!" Chad remarked rudely, shoving one arm into his pocket whilst one remained tightly behind his back. Sonny swore that she spotted some green, but she couldn't be sure...

"Chad, you're just jealous 'cause our only working camera is better than all of your tacky cameras put together." Sonny snidely responded with a voice dripping with both sarcasm and venom. Chad lowered his eyes in a glare, obviously insulted. She grinned inwardly; she had damaged his ego now. He would definitely be easier to get to now!

"Tacky? I spent well over two hundred for just one of those cameras, thank you!" He spat, his glare hardening scarily. Only, it didn't scare Sonny; it excited her. She could feel her stomach performing a series of acrobatical antics and she could feel the rush of adrenalin pump through her veins devilishly.

"You mean your secretary spent that much. Or was it your mommy?" Sonny continued to tease, making a face that screamed false contemplation. Chad shuddered with anger. What was wrong with him? Usually he would have handed it to her by now and then left. Could it be that... He enjoyed her like this? Sometimes being the lead role all the time was both a little boring and tiring and it was exhilerating to be the one to receive, though he was receving nothing but her unsually responsive tounge as it spat insults and comebacks at him as if she had been the one for his role all along. 'Twas a funny little thing they had going on there!

"...Don't you bring my mommy into this!" He commanded, pointing at her with the hand that had been behind his back, revealing a single bright yellow daffodil. Immediately noticing, Chad stopped dead, and then rushed it back behind him, looking at anything and everything apart from Sonny.

"Chad, why have you got flowers?" Sonny curiously enquired, peering at him with now innocent eyes and he grimaced upon being so clumsy as to make such a careless mistake. He cursed quietly and looked at the floor, but his sarcasm simply wouldnl't just stop now.

"A." He corrected. However, Sonny didn't understand and tilted her head slightly in confusion as she said: "Huh?"

"A. It's a flower." He explained and Sonny blinked, and then nodded in recognition, a bright smile gracing her face comically. Then, she gained a smug countenance and placed her hands on her hips, taunting him silently.

"So, why do you have a flower?" She stated, emphasising the word "a" with a smug smirk.

"Why do you keep asking me questions?" He replied uneasily, glancing to the left and then to the right of him in an untrustworthy fashion. Sonny's smirk only grew as she watched his growing nerve. She had, although his face said that she hadn't, noticed the faint, barely audioble quiver in his voice and the brief hesitation before he answered her.

"Because you're not answering any of them." She answered, finality oozing within her tone as she watched him fiddle with his jacket pocket apprehensively. "So, Cooper?" She added, grinning hugely.

"Alright, fine. I-I was bringing it to you." He confessed truthfully, practically spilling his heart out to her. He watched her closely, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"Why Chad?" She questioned, whilst taking a small, insecure step towards him. He didn't move but his body twitched slightly as she neared him. He watched her closely, narrowing his eyes briefly in speculation.

"Because I..." He began, but then trailed off into a bunch of incoherent mumbles. Sonny raised a brow cautiously.

"What?" She asked.

"I heard about the break up. You can't be feeling too great about it." He stated, regaining his confidence in the blink of an idea, in the flash of a light. As quick as lightening, he shoved a small smile onto his face and pulled the single flower from behind his back, offering it gently, only two of his fingers holding it daintily, unlike the confident fist that he always carried his trusty scripts with. It was so unlike him and yet, so sweet of him and Sonny could feel her heart melt right there and then.

"Chad, I-I had no idea." She breathed, looking at the flower with tender eyes, instantly feeling guilty for doubting him. His smile grew bigger by a fraction and he pushed it further forwards. Sonny looked at just how fragile it looked in his careful fingertips and she took it slowly, brushing his hand with hers. The way the petals folded back and seemed to glow in the bright light of her dressing room. It's pleasant aroma and it's healthy stature, she could tell that he had taken the time to actually choose a good one for her and that immediately flattered her. He didn't seem to be the one to give things other than fake lies when someone commented on his show and how good it was. But this - this was completely different and Sonny loved every second of it!

"Well, I guess, I can leave now, hmm?" He suggested, gesturing with his head towards the door, a serene smile on his face. A genuine smile. And Sonny returned it shamelessly.

"You could, or, you could stay. It's up to you." She offered softly, looking down at the floor with unsure eyes. He grinned at seeing her so uncomfortable underneath of his eyes; felt good to be in the power again!

"I'd stay. I really would but, I'm needed on my set." Chad muttered mournfully, shrugging slightly as if to say that he wasn't particularly bothered about it, but his voice betrayed him as it shivered slightly.

"Right, I understand. Hey, Chad?" She whispered and he looked up to see her in front of him. Then the funniest feeling attacked his chest as she placed her lips tenderly on his and closed her eyes, putting a single hand to his chest softly. Sonny had kissed him, and ever so gently at that! Once he got over the initial shock from it, he slowly returned her "attention" with the same loving nature. It was a slow, passionate kiss in which pent up feelings were released and "i-may-like-you-a-little"'s were confessed with care.

As soon as it had started, she pulled away with a soft, final peck. He opened his eyes, feeling dazed, but pleasantly dazed. It was an alien feeling that was brewing ndeniabley in his stomach and he watched as she walked to the door, opening it quietly.

"They need you." She said, a minute pang of disappointement hidden within her velet-like voice. Chad frowned, and then nodded, realising he had no other didn't want to leave her, he really didn't, but he couldn't just abandon his life as it was. Knowing this and boundaries in mind, he walked a placed a small kiss to her cheek in which she blushed in response to.

"Take care of yourself Munroe. See you... Whenever." He rasped in her ear and she giggled, the feeling tickely yet warm. He smiled at her a final time and then walked off into the depths of the coridoor. She watched his every step until he disappeared from view completely, and then she let out a strangled sigh, one that she had been holding for a while now.

So, not all boys were jerks?
