Acting Out: Chapter 15
Waking up the following morning; Sonny was glad that she could recall the events of the previous night, unlike the time that they slept together in Vegas.
Sonny Monroe had slept with Chad Dylan Cooper for a second time; this time however, they were both fully aware of what was happening.
They both wanted it.
Sonny was in Chad's arms, the sheets covering their naked bodies, her hair strewn out over the both of them.
She had never felt so happy; it was like nothing else in the world mattered as she laid in her husband's arms. Sure, they didn't get married out of love but that's all Sonny could feel for him now.
She watched him sleep, looking up at him from the comfort of his arms and she wondered how they had finally ended up like this.
They had known each other for years now and had grown up together over the years. They weren't just kids anymore, they were adults. They were more mature; they had both grown and become successful actors.
She studied him and smiled at how his blonde hair fell over his face slightly; she reached up carefully to move it out of his face, being gentle so she wouldn't wake him up.
He was gorgeous; there was no doubt about that.
Sonny was captivated by him and couldn't tear her eyes off him as he slept.
He really was charming, endearing and amazing. She really could see why so many girls threw themselves at him when given the chance.
She felt so happy that she was with him, that she belonged to him.
With a smile on her face, she wondered what the future would have in store for them. They were together now weren't they? Would they just stay married and continue to date in a sense, or would they break up and just date each other again in the public eye? Sonny had no idea.
It wasn't too long later that he woke up; letting out a yawn.
"Morning." She greeted him.
He rubbed his eyes with his hand before wrapping it around Sonny again, "Morning." He murmured, kissing her lips softly.
She eased into the kiss instantly; he was by far, way too intoxicating for his own good.
Sonny smiled widely at him, "Last night was...wow." She breathed out once Chad pulled away from the kiss, her lips lingering on his.
"Yeah, I'm glad we can remember it this time."
Sonny laughed, knowing that he was referring to them sleeping together in Vegas on the night they got drunkenly married.
She began absentmindedly tracing circles on his bare chest with her fingertips and couldn't help but be honest with him, "You were my first I hope you know."
"And your second." Chad teased, a grin on his face.
"Shut up." Sonny giggled as her husband kissed her forehead lightly.
"Being serious though, Sonny," He said, kissing the tip of her nose swiftly, "You were my first too."
"Chad Dylan Cooper, lady's man is a virgin?" Sonny asked in astonishment, looking into his blue eyes, a surprised smile on her face.
"Was a virgin." He corrected his wife, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks.
"I never would have thought you still would be." The brunette confessed, "I mean, I knew you were when we used to date but I thought since then you would have slept with someone as you have been linked with a lot of girls since you went out with me."
"I have morals; I didn't want to sleep with just anyone. It had to be with someone special, someone who means a lot to me." He explained.
"I mean a lot to you?"
Chad nodded and let go of Sonny slightly to roll onto his side to face her, "Most definitely."
She smiled happily and felt so content. Things between them finally seemed perfect.
"Can we just lay here like this for a while? I doubt my mother will be up and my Grandma won't come in knowing we are in here together." Sonny whispered.
"Of course, I'll stay here for as long as you want me to." He promised her.
She moved in closer to him and he placed his hand on her bare lower back, caressing it softly with his thumb.
She felt guilty; he really was a great guy and she had been making everything difficult over the course of their marriage, all because she wanted an extra season of 'So Random'.
"I'm sorry for all the games I've been playing, for trying to make you look bad in front of Mr Condor." She apologised.
"I'm sorry too; you weren't the only one who was trying to get an extra season of your show." He said gently.
"What do we do about that?" Sonny asked, referring to the extra season for their shows that was up for grabs.
"We tell Mr Condor we don't want it." Chad suggested a few seconds later.
"Really?" Sonny asked in shock, "You really would tell him you don't want an extra season?
The actor nodded and Sonny responded by pressing her lips against his, placing her hands on his chest as Chad eased into the kiss.
She felt so close to him and didn't want to leave his warm embrace, she was in pure bliss.
Sonny loved him so much; he had been a big part of her life ever since she was sixteen years old and now she realised that she couldn't live without him anymore. She was so thankful that she got a second chance at their relationship.
They belonged together, she could see that now.
"Sonshine." Chad murmured into her mouth, pulling away and trailing kisses down her neck, suckling on her collarbone.
Sonny kept her eyes closed and grinned at the nickname, knowing he wasn't messing around by calling her by it this time.
"Chad." She moaned softly.
He returned his mouth to hers and propped himself on top of her, making sure as to not break the kiss.
Sonny placed her hands on either side of his face, pulling away only slightly.
"I love you." She whispered, opening her eyes to look at her husband.
His eyes snapped open and he looked at her in amazement.
"Sonny..." He trailed off, completely taken back at what she had said.
Sonny looked up at him curiously, wondering why he trailed off and wondered why he wouldn't say anything else.
Chad sighed but didn't say anything; he returned his lips to Sonny's as if she said nothing at all.
Sonny pulled away after giving in for only a slight second and looked at him in astonishment, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Sonny, please don't make a big deal out of this." He spoke, looking into the brunette's brown eyes, "Can we just live in the moment and enjoy ourselves?" He questioned her, brushing a hand through her sprawled out hair.
"So what, is this like a one night stand for you?" Sonny questioned him, on the verge of tears still.
"We are married Sonny. It's not like I will leave you, I want to be with you still."
"What, because you have to because we are married?" Sonny asked with a tear falling down her cheek, as she got out from under Chad, grabbing a sheet and wrapping it around herself.
Chad got up and quickly put on his boxer shorts hurriedly.
"No, it's not like that Sonny. Can we just go back to how we were a moment ago?"
"What, with you on top of me?" Sonny snapped as she ran her hand through her hair in frustration, trying to decide what she was going to do.
"No...well yes." The blonde corrected himself.
Sonny shook her head in disgust and grabbed her suitcase that was on the other side of the room; shoving all her belongings in frantically, not bothering to do a good job.
"What are you doing?" He asked her, confused.
"I'm packing." Sonny replied, dejectedly.
"I can see that. But why?"
"I'm leaving. I'm going home." She responded, not bothering to look him in the eyes. She knew it would hurt even more to look into them.
"Our flight isn't until tonight." Chad pointed out.
"I'll get an earlier one. I'm Sonny Monroe after all." She said. She didn't believe in using her fame to her advantage most the time but she couldn't care less at the moment.
"Stay and talk things through with me." Chad pleaded with her as she grabbed some jeans and a shirt, getting dressed into them as quickly as she could, not caring that Chad was watching. He saw enough off her the night before and quite frankly, she couldn't care what he saw of her now.
"No, I've said what I wanted to say." She told him, putting on a jacket and some shoes.
"Sonny, please." He begged her, grabbing her arm gently.
She got caught in his gaze for a moment and she was right, it hurt even more. His eyes were sparkling, even through his concern for her.
Sonny eventually shook his hand off her arm and zipped up her suitcase, grabbing her handbag in the process.
"I love you, Chad...That's all I'm going to say." She said through her tears, not daring to meet his eyes again.
She grabbed her things and opened the bedroom door and as she was about to step out, Chad tried to stop her again.
"Sonny, please don't go. Please, stay." Chad pleaded with her again, making Sonny stop for just a moment.
"I'm going to take my Grandma's car to the airport. She has a spare key, so take her with you when you get your flight back tonight...please don't follow me. Just let me go." She said the last part adamantly.
With that, Sonny left; the tears streaming down her face. They only fell harder with every step she took as she headed down the stairs.
She grabbed her Grandma's keys when she got downstairs and was thankful that no one else was up to try and stop her from leaving, to see her in her current state.
Rushing out to her Grandma's car; Sonny quickly threw her bags in and put some sunnies on to hide her tear-stricken eyes.
She cried the whole way to the airport, the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
She couldn't believe that after having such a great weekend together, that things could turn so bad in a blink of an eye.
Sonny reflected back to when they were younger and dating.
Chad never once said to her that he loved her back then. Now it was worst though as she had said it to him whilst married to him and he didn't reciprocate the feelings at all. He was too concerned with having her naked underneath him.
It wasn't hard for her to get a flight home, she only had to wait half an hour and soon enough she was on her way to LA. Being famous did have its advantages sometimes.
She loved Chad, yet he still didn't love her even after all this time and after all they had gone through together.
Sonny loved him more than she ever thought she possibly could have.
...
He was stupid; completely stupid.
Chad watched her leave and when she was gone; he shut the front door quietly as to not awaken Sonny's mum or grandmother. He had followed her downstairs and stopped, seeing her drive away.
He returned up to their room and he flopped down on the bed letting out a heavy sigh.
What had he done?
Chad closed his eyes and held his face in his hands.
She had told him not to go after her; she was adamant that he stay and he couldn't blame her.
He had acted like such a moron all because he couldn't handle it properly when she told him that she loved him.
He had majorly screwed up.
Sonny would never forgive him; Chad knew this.
He knew that she would hate him forever now.
