Chapter 3- Crazy Nights…and Day

Sonny said good bye to Leo at the steps of her resort. He was in a different hotel and just happened to come to her restaurant that day. Fate huh? She took the elevator, elated and too tired to walk. It was almost twelve-thirty. She was having so much just goofing around that she didn't noticed the time. He made her have fun and she liked it. She liked it so much that she agreed to go out with him the next night. They would meet for dinner in his restaurant resort.

She opened the door to the room. It was pitch black but she didn't bother turning on the light. She groped her way to the bed, forgetting the tiny detail that Chad might actually be in it. She took of her boats, then her pants and slipped on some shorts from her suitcase next to her, and then took of her shirt and kept on the tank top under it. With that, she climbed into the bed and put the covers over her head. She fell asleep easily, reflecting on the odd events of the day.

Sonny woke with a start the next morning. She had an odd dream but she felt it pass as she felt the warm California sun on her face as she did every morning when she woke up on the So Random set. She was excited for a new day of props and sketches. She stretched her arms across the bed so she could get out of the bed and be awake. To her dismay, her arm hit something in the process. She slowly turned her head to see what it was, hoping it was the bed post, even though she knew it was much softer than any wooded object.

"Thanks, Sonny, for hitting me and waking me up and climbing into bed with me last night." Chad said with sarcasm smothering his voice. She realized the dream she thought she had was true. She really did run away from So Random and she really was 'shacking up' with Chad Dylan Cooper. Whoa! Weird!

She smiled a big, hearty smile at him. He couldn't stay mad at her now. She got out of bed and decided to make them some breakfast. "What do you want to eat?" she asked, kindly.

"Well, we could go downstairs to the continental breakfast." He offered

"And risk me getting seen by your friends, no thanks." She said shortly

"Ok." He said trying to accommodate to her. He was being oddly nice to her this morning, considering the awkwardness of waking up next to your enemy, yet the same girl he spent the whole night worrying about. "What time did you get in last night?" he asked, trying not to sound worried.

"Around one. It was so much fun. I'm going out with him again tonight at seven!" She said, smiling.

"Ok." He said, trying not to sound sad. 'What are you doing the rest of the day?" he asked.

"hmmm…nothing. Why?"

"We could hang out?" he said, trying to sound as careless as possible.

She seemed to consider this for a moment, so as not to sound too eager. "Sure. Why not?"

Chad smiled. Sonny returned the smile. They shared this quiet little happiness for a moment. They stared at each other until they were revved out of their fantasies of the other as a loud knock came at the door.

"Chad? Chad! Open the door! Chad, are you awake? Come'on Chad. I can see the light on. There is NO way I'm letting you take all day again." Portlyn's voice yelled through the door. The two faces starring each other, once happy and loving, now became scared and unsure.

---"Hide in the bathroom!" Chad mouthed, pointing towards the bathroom.

"No!" she mouthed. "The pantry!" She gave a thumbs up to Chad just as she turned, walked into the pantry and lightly closed the door. Chad hid her suitcase under the bed and sauntered to the door, pretending to be tired.

"What is it, Portlyn? I was sleeping." He said, angry.

"Right." She said, with a half grin, as if she wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth. She walked in through the entire room while Chad stood by the front door waiting for her, amused. As she finished checking the kitchen and bedroom (not even thinking to look under the bed), she turned into the bathroom and checked the shower. Then she moved awkwardly and embarrassed to stand next to Chad. "Well. Um. We are going down to breakfast now. So, um, come if you want. See you soon." She didn't even look at Chad as she walked out the door and closed it behind her.

A second later, Chad opened the pantry. As the door opened, Sonny popped out, laughing hysterically.

"How is this funny, Munroe?" he asked, surprised.

"I don't know. But it definitely is." She giggled sweetly

"Easy for you to say. You wouldn't get killed if the enemy was found in your room."

Sonny stopped to ponder this. "No I definitely would. It's just funny to watch you." She began to giggle again as Chad starred opened mouthed at her. He began to laugh too and they stood there for about five minutes, laughing already at the nearly horrific events of the day.

When they were able to regain their self control, Sonny made some Pop Tarts for the pair as Chad set up the table in their beautiful balcony. He even brought the television outside so they could spend the day outside. Sonny did not object. She brought out some orange juice and their food. They ate in comfortable silence as Chad flipped through the channels. For the morning hours, he settled on Good Morning America. After Sonny finished her breakfast, she changed into her two-piece bathing suit and tanned on the balcony. Chad tried to refrain from looking at Sonny's beautiful body that he never really took notice to before. She was curvy yet skinny and beautiful. And he could not stop looking at her, even as she fell asleep, letting the sun color her back. To keep from looking, he flipped to a channel that contained reruns of his show.

When Sonny woke up to flip over, this looked nothing more than a conceited boy watching himself act when he really knew it was just to keep his mind focused off of how beautiful she looked and how much he really wanted to kiss her, just to hold her. Sonny the Run away seemed to now have an appeal all her own that he would never have noticed at the Studio.

At about three o'clock, she put clothes over her suit and watched Chad's show with him. Sonny laughed as the episode came on where she constantly interrupted his shooting, even though it didn't show here. And then she laughed even harder at the episode where he had to say, "So Random's on; it's my favorite show." And surprisingly to her, Chad laughed as well.

"I loved watching you say that, Chad. It was so funny!" she giggled

"I can see that. I still can't believe you tricked me into believing your ankle was hurt." He reminisced

"Well, I told you, us Chuckle City stars can act." She said as she dragged her finger across his chin as she got up to go to the kitchen. She brought out a box of CheezIts as he shook off the tingling he felt from her finger.

She took some crackers from the box and offered him some with a winning smile on her face.

The two continued to remain silent watching his reruns, with an occasional scene repetition from Chad. At a commercial, Sonny decided to ask him the question she had been wondering the whole day. "Do you really see me as the enemy, Chad?"

So yea…Chapter 3….love it? Hate it? Want more? Leme know!
