A Thing Called Love
Chapter 6
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
Smile - Uncle Kracker
The words played over and over in her head. He loved her. Chad Dylan Cooper actually loved her.
That was enough for her to give up the fear of what her castmates thought. What his thought. What anyone thought.
He didn't care about what other people thought anymore. He was letting go.
She had to let go.
And somewhere on the inside, she knew her love for him was growing by the second.
She broke into nervous laughter. She couldn't stop giggling.
Chad stared at her as if she'd just lost it.
He didn't understand why she was laughing. This wasn't funny.
Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't joke about stuff like this. How can Sonny take this as a joke?
"I'm not joking Sonny. I'm serious." he said solemnly. It hurt him that she wasn't taking him seriously.
Sonny noticed how hurt he looked.
"Chad, thank you. I'm sorry I'm laughing it's just...no one's ever told me that before. It kind of caught me off guard." she smiled and took his hand. "Come on, let's go. Are you going to take me to eat? I'm hungry."
Chad sighed and forced a smile. She didn't say she loved him back.
"Alright, let's go."
He took her to an expensive restaurant. It was one of the most well known in LA. Chad knew Sonny probably never even heard of the restaurant before.
It was cute how clueless she was.
After they ate, they continued on their date.
"Are we there yet?" she asked
"Just about." he smiled ignoring her lack of patience.
Within minutes they reached a place Sonny had never seen before. Her eyes widened in amazement.
It looked so beautiful.
"Wow. It's so...beautiful." Sonny said slowly.
"I know you are."
Sonny blushed and smiled at her feet. She wasn't used to him complimenting someone other than himself. He took her hand and led her in.
"So what's this place called again?" she asked
"Stanley Park." he smiled at her. It was one of the most romantic parks in LA, though not that many people knew about it as it was more remote.
Sonny nodded and continued to gaze at the beautiful scenery. The tall green trees, the lush green meadows.
"C'mon." he led her to a small station that read
RENTALS
Before "RENTALS" there was another word but it was too hard for Sonny to make out.
"What size shoes are you, Sonny?" he asked
"What? Oh, um seven. Size seven." she smiled awkwardly.
"One seven and one nine" he smiled at the old man standing on behind the counter. His white hair was lined with silver and grey and his dark skin sagged. He smiled a toothy grin at them and opened a door to room. He disappeared inside for a moment.
When he returned he held two pairs of rollerblades.
"We're rollerblading? Chad! Why didn't you tell me? I don't know how to rollerblade!" she exclaimed.
"I can always teach you." he put an arm around her as his other arm payed for the rollerblades.
"You very smart young man." he winked at him mischeviously and took the money laughing.
Chad smiled at the old guy and took off his flip flops. Sonny took off her flats. They handed it to the man who kept it for them temporarily.
As they walked away Sonny whispered to Chad.
"That guy was weird...and why'd he call you smart?" she asked, doubtfully.
"Sonny, isn't it obvious that I'm smart? I am Chad Dylan Cooper after all."
"Pfft." she smiled at him and rolled her eyes. Some things never changed.
They stopped at a bench and they put on their rollerblades. Walking barefoot felt kinda weird.
Chad stood up and did a few turns smirking at her. Sonny stood up steadying herself on the handle of the bench. She tried to rollerblade but within seconds of staying balanced, she slipped and fell.
She had a mini heartattack until Chad sped over and caught her in his arms. They were inches apart. She could hear Chad's heartbeat and stared into his deep blue eyes. Her panting slowed though he could feel her warm breath against his skin.
He set her upright.
"Let's try this again."
She swallowed and nodded. Not sure what to think of that moment.
Half and hour later, Sonny finally managed to rollerblade thanks to Chad's incredible teaching ability and they were gliding through the forest-like park talking, laughing, and appreciating the quiet peacefulness of the park.
"This is so incredible Chad." she smiled at him "Thank you."
He shrugged and exhaled. The fresh air of the park cleansed his lungs from the dust and pollution of the city.
Being here with Sonny just felt so right. He felt less tense. Sonny made him feel more himself.
A person he used to be emerged whenever he was with Sonny like this. A person who used to be, before the whole Hollywood thing.
He held her hand the whole time but she was the first to break the grasp when she pulled out a camera.
"Let's take some pictures!" she wanted these memories to last forever, considering something this perfect hardly ever lasted. Chad smiled at her.
"Sure why not. I am quite photogenic." he smirked and made a girly pose.
"OH MY GOD, that's hilarious. Do another one!" she urged him and he didn't mind. Seeing her smile made his heart skip a beat. He rollerbladed to her and snatched the camera away.
"My turn." he smiled and started snapping picture of Sonny. She stuck out her tongue at him and laughed.
Then he held the camera in front of them and took a pictures together. He kissed her for one of them.
"Follow me." he handed back her camera and she followed while taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. The sun shone brightly and she turned off the flash.
In minutes they were in front of a small ice cream shack. She grinned. They approached the lady working in the ice cream shack.
"I'd like a cookies and cream cone. Two scoops. And one mint chocolate chip in a cup. Three Scoops." he smiled at the lady who asked for an autogragh. After he gave it to her, she decided to give them the ice cream for free.
"How did you know I liked mint chocolate chip ice cream in a cone?" she asked him suspiciously.
"Lucky guess." he shrugged. He remembered asking Lucy when she visited.
"Mmm. Dish ish good" Sonny said mouth full of icecream.
He laughed and wiped her cheek. Sonny was such a messy eater.
"So, what do you think of this date Sonshine?" he asked smugly. He knew she liked it. Why wouldn't she?
Did he just call me Sonshine? WOW. That's weird.. she thought.
She giggled. "Yeah it's not bad."
The sat down against this mini cliff made of stone with sand just a few meters below their feet. As she finished the last bit of her ice cream, Chad took of his roller blades and urged Sonny to do the same.
She was surprised. This date was so unpredictable.
Chad took her hand and carefully led her down the extremely steep steps of the mini cliff. She almost slipped, but he held her steady. Then he let go of her hand and jumped the last few steps.
She looked nervously down at him.
"I'm scared. This looks kinda dangerous." Not to mention the gross looking brown-ish green-ish purple-ish moss growing on the side.
"It'll be fine Sonny. Don't you trust me?" he reached out a hand. He looked into her eyes. If she didn't trust him...well, he'd feel pretty dumped on.
It took her a minute but Chad's hand was still there and he was waiting as patient as ever. She grabbed his hand and jumped.
"Ahh." she landed on the sand and Chad pulled her into a hug. It wasn't that bad. He smiled into her hair again and felt the warmth of her body moving into him. She trusted him. That made him happy.
They walked hand in hand along the mini beach. The sun reflected of the deep blue colour of the ocean. It reminded her of Chad's eyes.
The waves crashed into the shore. He bent down and flipped some water onto Sonny.
"Hey!" she exclaimed and soon they were running around in the sand as the warm summer waves splashed them carelessly. Sonny managed to get back at Chad. He laughed at wrapped his arms around Sonny. Spinning her up in the air, they tumbled on to the heated, moist sand.
Sonny leaned up(if that's possible)and gave him a peck of the cheek. He smiled mischieviously at her and bent down.
He kissed her softly and slowly.
The sun was setting. Sonny sat up and Chad lay his head on her lap. He looked up into her eyes and laughed when she looked down at him and her wet hair tickled his face. A few drops of water slid from her hair on to his face and trickled down his neck.
He pushed himself up and put an arm around her pulling her closer to him.
This moment was so perfect. The sun setting and the waves rolling.
His hands cupped her face and he kissed her neckline. Slowing he moved his kiss up to her jaw and she bent back. He bit gently on her lip and kissed her. Slowly, softly, passionately.
So this was the thing people felt in movies. This was how Mackenzie felt about Chloe.
So this was the crazy indescribable thing called love.
He liked it.
So did she.
Some moments can break us. Some moments can make us. And some moments can change out lives forever. These moments changed their lives forever.
Nothing would ever be the way it used to be.
Not now, not ever again.
