Hi guys! Yes, I know, I haven't updated in a while. But here is the next chapter. This has a little Alex/Sonny in it. Enjoy... :)

Alex and I sat in my dressing room on beanbags, laughing together as we played a game of scrabble. He kept making up new words and adding them to the game.

"Argle is not a word, Alex!" I shouted, giggling loudly as I slapped him on the arm. He grinned, "It's in my personal dictionary. So, that means it's a word."

I raised my eyebrows, little laughs still escaping my mouth, "Okay then, Mr I-know-everything, what does it mean? And I want an example of where you'd use it."

His face scrunched up in thought and suddenly he smiled, "An argle is a beautiful woman who makes men, like myself, fall for them easily. And the example would be… Sonny is an argle."

I blushed and stared at the scrabble board, refusing to meet his eyes, "You really think I'm beautiful?" I asked him quietly.

He reached over and pulled my chin up to look into my eyes, "Yes." He replied sincerely, adding on, "Was that the only thing you picked up on?"

Answering my confused look he took hold of my hand and said, "You've probably already figured this out, but I like you Sonny. I want to be more than friends."

"But Chad…" I whispered, the pain rushing through me again.

"I know, and I'm gonna wait for you Sonny. You take all the time you need to get over him and I'll be here." He answered, brushing a hair away from my eyes.

I opened my mouth to reply but a knock on my side door interrupted. I gave Alex an apologetic smile and stood to answer the door.

With a grin on my face, I wrenched open the door to find Chad standing there looking lost and hopeless, "Sonny.." He choked out.

My smile vanished almost instantly, "What do you want, Chad? Don't you think you've hurt me enough?" I snapped, making Alex shout out, "Who is it?"

Without answering, I opened the door wider so Alex could see who was stood there. He glared at Chad, looking him up and down, "What's he doing here?"

"I don't know," I paused and looked back at Chad, "Care to explain why you're here, after it's obvious I don't want to see you again."

He breathed heavily, "Look, Sonny, I know that you don't believe me, but I swear I did nothing with Kaylee. Yes, I've met her before, but she was a waitress working at the hotel."

I frowned, getting more confused by the minute. I didn't know whether I should've believed him or not, "Why should I trust you?" I asked him.

"Because I love you, and I know that deep down, you still love me too. Wait…Alex was there at the hotel where I met Kaylee, I saw you." Chad said urgently to Alex.

Alex was suddenly next to me, frowning, as if trying to remember the memory, "No. I wasn't. Don't try and use me to cover up your dirty little secret." He snarled.

"No," Chad said more confidently, "You were there. I saw you. In fact…" He paused to laugh humourlessly, "You were the one doing stuff with Kaylee. On a sun bed."

Alex's jaw twitched, "How dare you pin your mistakes on me! I was never there at the hotel, I don't even know who this Kaylee chick is!" He shouted, his fists tightening.

I put a hand on Alex's chest, "Don't. He's not worth it." I said, as his fists slowly unclenched. "Sonny, please-" Chad tried again.

"No. Cheating on me was stupid and wrong, but blaming your petty little mistakes on someone else is low. Even for you, Chad." I answered, slamming the door shut.

"I'm sorry about him, Sonny." Alex said, gazing at me while stroking my cheek softly with his thumb.

I looked up at his sincere, green eyes and smiled sadly, "You know maybe you're right. Maybe being with you will help me get over Chad."I suggested.

"Right about what? And you're with me right now, is it helping?" Alex said, his eyebrows dropping in a frown.

"No," I paused to hold his hand nervously, "I mean, us…being together." The corners of his mouth turned up, "You really want to do this?" He asked hopefully.

I bit my lip and thought for a few moments. "Yes." I nodded certainly.

After I'd thought about it, I'd realised that Alex made me happy and I forgot about Chad when I was with him, so it was worth a shot.

He grinned and hugged me close, "I won't let you down, Sonny." For once in the past few days, I felt happy.

Okay, so hope you liked? Anyway, I've wrote the next chapter already, so that should be up soon.

Question for you guys... What do you think about the whole Alex/Sonny thing? Tell me in a review, I'd really like to hear from you.
