Take 6

(a.k.a)

A date with destiny, a phone call with fate.

Sonny was freaking out. What in the world would she wear on her date with Joe tonight? She had no idea where they were going, how they were getting there, and she didn't want to be overdressed if it was casual, or underdressed if it was formal -and he was refusing to give any hints away!
Instead of her outfit, she focused on her hair. She dried and curled it slightly. Next was her make-up. This part she relished in. Sonny carefully applied her foundation, blush and whatnot but when it came to do her eyes, she stalled, dramatic eye, or non-dramatic eye? She decided on just smudging grey eye shadow near her lash line, dramatising it slightly by going over it in black kohl liner. She just swept nude lipstick on her lips before looking at the clock. It was ten to eight. Joe was coming at eight. Sonny searched every item of clothing she had and in the end, wore black converse, black tights and a red and cream plaid dress. The clock struck eight and there was a knock at her door, he'd been waiting outside… how sweet... She opened it to find Joe looking gorgeous in a navy shirt and dark skinny jeans with converse.

"Hi" Sonny greeted shyly.

"You look… wow…" Was all Joe managed to say as he nervously ran a hand through his curly hair.

"Thanks. You too"

"So… Sonny, you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be"

"Well then, let's go"

Sonny and Joe left the hotel and walked down the street chatting about work. Surprisingly no one took photos. Sonny kept wondering where they were going, and after badgering Joe with questions he finally pointed across the street to an amazing looking restaurant.

"Really?" Sonny asked, slightly excited.

"Really"

The date was great, Joe was the perfect gentleman and was fantastic company. They talked mostly about music and movies.

Afterwards, they walked back to the hotel. As they neared their hotel, Joe said quietly,

"I had a great time tonight, Sonny"

"Me too, Joe. You were the perfect date"

He blushed under the streetlamp, and Sonny smiled. Joe stopped walking then and took Sonny's hand in his.

"What is it Joe?"

"Sonny, I need to know something"

"Sure, anything"

"The first day of shooting… was that you kissing me… or was it Halyn?"

Sonny looked into his brown eyes, "It was Halyn, in the beginning. But for the most part, it was me, Joe"

"Right answer" He joked, smiling slightly. Slowly he leaned in and Sonny stepped closer to him.

"I don't usually kiss on the first date" Sonny murmured.

"I don't usually play by the rules" He smiled sweetly, "My middle name is Danger you know!" He added while wrapping his arms around her slim waist and pulling her slowly towards him.

"You might have mentioned that before" Sonny whispered when his mouth was only a breath away from hers.

"I'm going to kiss you now" He said softly, smiling all the while.

His lips met hers. And they were blissfully immersed in the kiss. Sonny wrapped her arms around Joe's neck and pulled him closer while he pressed her against him. While kissing him, Sonny was happy, and felt a bit protected. Everything melted away. Joe was all she could feel, all she could smell, and all she could taste, but all she could think about was…
Joe had never had a kiss like it. Sonny made him so complete, and he had no idea why. He felt inexpressively happier as he felt her smile through the entire kiss. He had never thought it possible to smile and kiss at the same time, but Sonny doing it against his lips, felt like the most natural thing in the world.

"I've wanted to do that for so long" Joe whispered happily when the kiss ended.

"Same here" Sonny smiled, they leaned against each others forehead for awhile, each drinking the other in with their eyes. Then a taxi drove by and all they heard was,

"WOO! SONNY AND JOE! JONNY! JONNY!"

Looking around, they saw Kevin with his head sticking out of the taxi window screaming at them and waving a banner that read: TEAM JONNY. Nick was laughing hysterically in the seat next to him.

"GUYS! LEAVE!" Joe shouted at his brothers. Cackling like mad Kevin ordered the driver to leave. Sonny couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, that was unexpected" She smirked.

"Come on" Joe said softly, as he took her hand, "I'll walk you back"

Together, they walked into the hotel and when Sonny reached her room, Joe pulled her back in for another kiss.

"So" Joe said looking at her.

"Joe, what is this? I mean, is it going to go anywhere besides a whole lot of awkwardness tomorrow?"

"Sonny, how about we-" Joe started to say.

Sonny's phone mooed and she searched for it in her bag, she found it. Her screen read- One New Message: Chad D Cooper.

Time seemed to stop for Sonny. Her heart rate went through the roof when she saw Chad's name but she called it anger at his not texting her all day. Looking up at Joe she vaguely remembered him saying something.

"Joe, could we… take it slow? I know the kiss tonight was the opposite of slow, but it's just-"

"Sure, I don't rush into full on relationships on the first night you know"

"No, I meant the relationship thing. Could we not.. date straight away? A few more, like get-to-know-you dates and then something? It's just we're co stars and I don't want this to be another… Chad/Sophia, or, Adam Brody/Rachel Bilson thing… I want to be sure it can work before committing to a relationship,. I'm sorry. It probably might sound a bit-"

"Sonny, whatever makes you happy, makes me happy" Joe said grinning.

"Good. I like you being happy"

"Great. Because I like you being happy more" He leaned in and kissed her again. It was a sweet goodnight kiss.

"Goodnight Joe"

"Goodnight Sonny"

She closed her door and sighed happily, but then Chad's text entered her mind and she opened it to see what it said.

So I know I 4got to text today…
But technically, I couldn't.
Just texting to apologise even though you're probably asleep. -CDC

His text was as cryptic as Chad himself could be. What had me meant by 'I couldn't', and why the sweet text even though he thought she was sleeping? Sonny changed into her pj's, washed off her make up and sat down on her bed to reply.

What's this? An unnecessary apology from CDC?
In am in shock! And as u can probably guess… I am awake!
Got any ideas on what can be my midnight snack? -SM

Sonny lay on her bed, smiling to herself. She had been on a date with Joe Jonas, and he wanted to date her!… So what was her problem? Why didn't she want to date him straight away? Because it wasn't his kissing. He was a great kisser. It was-

She was dragged from her thoughts by her phone mooing. She quickly registered it wasn't a text and so dived to reach it before the call rang out.

"Hello?" She asked breathlessly.

"Hey Sonny"

"Chad?" Sonny panted, trying to catch her breath.

"The one and only! I'm too tired to text, up for a chat?"

She laughed, "Yep, I sure am"

"Why aren't you asleep Sonny? Are you exercising or what? You sound out of breath"

"I was eh… getting ready for bed after talking to Joe"

"What? The Joan-ass is there with you? And you're out of breath?!" Chad's voice was reaching a new level of hysteria.

"No. Chad, NO! I said goodnight to Joe and was getting ready for bed in my own room- alone, when you called. Joe isn't here you weirdo"

"Touchy subject?" He mocked, secretly relieved beyond what should be deemed normal, "No, but seriously, it's what? Ten past midnight and you're up, and still perky? What's wrong with you Monroe?!"

"Yes, it is ten past twelve, good knowledge of the time difference"

"I try"

"You want to know a secret Chad?"

"You have to ask? Seriously, spill already"

Sonny was about to launch into a tirade about the entirety of her Jonas date, but instead said, "I think Joe might like me"

"Joe who?"

"Jonas"

"Right… Joan-ass… Are you sure?" Chad asked after a short silence.

"YES. And stop calling him Joan-ass"

"Sheesh, always the diva, Monroe"

"Chad this is serious"

"How serious?"

"He tried to ask me to be his girlfriend, I think"

Sonny was sure she heard him choking, but after a few seconds, he said, "I'm sorry, I thought you just said he tried ask you to be his girlfriend?"

"I did say that. Because that's what he said"

"Oh... What did you say? And how did he only try?"

"I sort of… maybe… said no and asked to go slow and… not to date for awhile, that was AFTER your text interrupted his question"

Chad laughed, "Really?"

"Well, yes. Because… I like him but… I don't want to screw it up"

"Really? Sonny Monroe in a love triangle?"

"Triangle? There's only me and Joe involved, its like… a love… line?"

"Oh yeah… it's a love line then" Chad said, seeming sort of distant, "It'd be better if it were a triangle"

"Really? Why would a love triangle be better?"

"To… eh… make him prove how much he likes you. It'd be good for him to have some competition in a department other than selling music. Stupid Joan-ass"

"Chad, he's the only guy besides James who's shown interest in me, there is no one else to be in your fantasy love triangle!"

"Sonny, you obviously don't google or youtube yourself. There are guys proclaiming their undying love for you daily"

Laughing Sonny said, "At least I know you google and youtube me"

Chad swallowed awkwardly, "Yeah…" Think! Think! You're Chad Dylan Cooper! Think of a comeback or an excuse! "I only youtubed and googled you to… see how well my egg salad video is doing" What a crap excuse, seriously, the EGG SALAD video?!

"Oh… well… good for you"

"Yeah, props to me" Chad muttered sadly. There was silence on the phone, with each person lost in their own thoughts.

"What makes you think it's a love triangle anyway? I don't love Joe or anything" Sonny suddenly said.

She doesn't love him! She doesn't love him! "Well, maybe if there was a third person you might love them" Chad whispered hoarsely… this conversation was getting too close to comfort for him, "I mean… throw in… Shia laBeouf or… Brad Pitt… or even that traitor Zac Efron… then there'd be love"

Sonny laughed, "Or Jason Dolley"

"Who?"

"He's this blonde, blue eyed actor for the Disney Channel, and I just find him so… cute"

"Blonde… blue eyed… actor?!" Chad asked sarcastically. Oh My God! That's me! She likes a copy of me! I must make plans… she can never meet this Doll man…

"Yeah" Sonny laughed, "Guess I've no chance with someone like that. Anyway, more about you. I'm shocked you went this long being so selfless… how is life on planet Chad?"

"Life is good. I got my teeth whitened today"

"Oh really? To what shade?" Sonny mocked.

"Ha Ha. They're actually very nice now"

"Chad, your teeth were nice before you had them whitened"

"Yeah, well, now there nicer!"

"Oh, have you heard the new song by-"

"Sonny, sweet naïve, innocent Sonny, this is Chad time like you said. We talk, about Chad Dylan Cooper and only Chad Dylan Cooper"

"Right, whatever"

"So today, I was trying to decide what colour highlight to add to my hair. It can't be too blonde, because that would be sort of, Britney Spears fake, you know?!"

"Yeah, what about-"

"So then I asked the question on my Twitter, which by the way, I have one million followers, can you believe that?"

"Really? Wow, so I was thinking-"

"Sonny, are YOU DEAF? This is Chad Dylan Cooper time, I talk about me, and YOU LISTEN!"

Sonny suddenly found herself wanting Joe. He wouldn't have interrupted her, quieted her or been so arrogant. So she interrupted Chad's rambling, "I've got to go"

"What, why?"

"I've to go see Joe" She said bitingly.

"But it's nearly one in the morning, what do you want to see him for?"

"He's good company, and he listens and talks to me"

"And?"

"And I'm going. Goodnight Chad"

"Goodnight-" Sonny hung up before he could finish, "Love you" He whispered to the dial tone that seconds ago had held Sonny's voice. "No! I don't... I mean…" I can't… L-word her… that would be totally wrong, and un-CDC like! Shit, I was a jackass to her wasn't I? Chad asked himself internally.

-

Sonny nervously knocked on his door. She waited anxiously for him to open the door, hoping he hadn't been asleep.

"Sonny?" He asked, eyebrows raised. He was in a sweat pants and shirtless. And his hair was mussed up.

"Hi, Hunter" Was all she managed before the tears escaped.

Hunter brought her into his room, laid her on the chair, and hugged her, "What's up? You can't show up at my door like this and not give a reason why" He said, while gently patting her back.

"It's everything" Sonny sobbed, "Joe. Chad. It's too much"

"Hey, hey, come here" He said and comfortingly hugged her, "It's ok. Just talk to me about it and we can get through it"

"I don't even know why I'm upset. I mean… I went out with Joe tonight"

"Didn't you do that yesterday?"

"Yeah, that was as friends though"

"And tonight… wasn't?"

"No. But it was great. Like a really nice, sweet, perfect date"

"Was there a kiss?" Hunter asked, nudging Sonny in the ribs.

Despite her sadness, she smiled, "I don't kiss and tell"

"Oh you and Amanda would be dangerous if ye ever talked" He laughed.

"Well… I told him I wanted no relationship at the moment. But, Hunter, if I really didn't want one, then I wouldn't have kissed him. I mean it takes two to kiss, you know? He wasn't the only one doing it. So I don't even know what I want with Joe. Then Chad called and we were talking for ages. And he was going on about triangles and lines and love and… teeth and hair"

"You have the strangest friends, you know that?"

Sonny smiled, "Yeah. But then we started talking about him because the whole conversation had been about me, but then he was just so pompous and arrogant, and self-righteous and-"

"I get it" Hunter interrupted jokingly.

"Yeah, well see, that's Chad, he always acts that way. I don't know why I find it all so frustrating"

"Sonny, look at me" Hunter said firmly. Sonny faced him.

"What?"

"It's simple. Joe's here, and wants to be with you. Chad's in LA and lord knows what he wants with you"

Sonny blinked. He was right. It really was that simple. Joe was here, with her, and he wanted her, part of Sonny wanted him too. Chad wasn't here, and she was unsure of where they now stood. Her decision was made… for the most part. She would choose Joe. She'd tell him... soon.

"Hunter?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I crash here tonight?"

"Sure… let me just get my stuff"

"Why?"

"I'll take the sofa"

"No, I meant I'll take the sofa"

"Sonny, you're distraught, you're in no emotional state for a night on a chair"

"Well so what! Hunter, a pillow and a blanket and I'll be as peaceful as a baby"

"No"

"Stop being stubborn. We're both tired. Just let me sleep here"

Hunter looked at his friend, "Fine. You win. But it's only because you're the stubborn one" He muttered while handing her a blanket and pillow, "Night Sonny" He said as he fell onto his bed and turned off the lights.

"Night Hunt"

Before Sonny fell asleep she felt compelled to apologise. Chad always was Chad and he made no excuses, Sonny wanted him to forget their sort of fight, so she pulled out her phone and quickly sent a text message.

Chad, I'm sorry. For being such a… diva awhile ago…
I'm really sorry. I was tired, and I want us to be like we were …but for u not to frustrate me so much!!
I have a song I'd like you to listen to… the melody is amazing…
Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales -it's my favourite.
Sorry for totally overreacting again, forgive me and my diva antics? - SM

Sonny's eyes drooped closed, and her breathing slowed, but then her phone vibrated. Quickly she looked at her screen, it read One New Message: Chad D Cooper.

Wish it wasn't so late so that I could call you again…
But it is, so it's all gonna b said in a text.
Thanks for the recommendation, but that song is already my favourite!
It's most played on my iPod, good taste Monroe!;)
You don't need to be forgiven, it was all me. I'm the one who's sorry.
You were just trying to have a normal conversation and I went all Chad Dylan Cooper on you… instead of just being Chad.
So… maybe tomorrow we can talk again? And… go back to normal? Possibly? If you'd like? That b okay w/ you? -CDC

Sonny smiled. Really smiled. Chad was such a… puzzle. Nearly an hour ago she was both angry and upset with him, now she was smiling like a fool at his genuinely sweet text. She typed fast.

Whoa, long text! Well, tomorrow we should talk about music then!
How about we both agree to b sorry?!
And yes, Chad, or CDC whoever's there, that is just FINE with me! -SM

Sonny was grinning now, and immediately another text came through from Chad.

Fine!

She text back within seconds.

Fine!

Chad text back straight away.

Good!

She was nearly asleep now so sent.

Good!
Sorry to b a buzz kill but I'm sooo tired.
Talk tomorrow.
Don't let the bed bugs bite, Chad! -SM

"Turn off your phone" Hunter suddenly shouted.

"What?"

"I can see the light from your phone with my eyes closed, Sonny"

"Oh, sorry, Hunt. I'm finished now"

"K, night. Say goodnight to Chad Jonas, or Joe Dylan Cooper, or whoever it is... that your texting" Hunter mumbled. Seconds later he was snoring.

Sonny fell asleep before she could read Chad's reply message, but at least she'd have it in the morning. Tomorrow seemed like it was going to be a pretty great day…


authors note: wow, so Sonny has decided. Joe it is… for now… chapter 6 up and loaded! Let me know what you think! FOR ALL YOU DIEHARD CHANNY: give joe a break, he deserved his kiss with sonny... right??
So I figured out my problem, I must stop watching demi/joe youtube videos… so I watched a few new episodes of SWAC (by the way: episodes 15 and 16 are on you tube. One is bad enough quality and one is in Spanish w/English subtitles, but they're still up!) but then I watched a few demi/joe… and my mind is back in the plot… but which plot?! You'll have to wait and see!
Just wondering… does the Hunter/Sonny friendship annoy you? Should it be more Sonny and her Joe/Chad?!
Ok, so nearly everyone wants Channy… but… a few of you really want a bit of Joe mixed in… In the next chapter it all goes topsy turvy!
So I don't know if the characters were exactly themselves in this… but it's what had to be done! All back to normal for tomorrow… I hear it's going to be a great day…! ;)
