It's been forever, huh? I'm really sorry for keeping you guys waiting, I feel horrible. Again, I know what it's like to wait forever for someone to update. It's January 30th, now, and the site isn't working for me. Is it working for you guys? I was going to update all my other stories but then it said there was some sort of error. :( Well I'm just going to continue to write and we'll see when the site starts to work for me, then. Thanks for all the reviews and I'm can't say how sorry I am for not updating soon!

Her hands were tangled in my hair, and my arms still around her waist, pulling her close. Relief washed through me, never resting to let me pull in a breath. She had me caught, and I didn't think. I didn't think about how this would work, I didn't think about how she would respond- she was kissing me back, wasn't she?- I didn't think about her so called plan. I let my need take over and kissed her passionately, longingly, and even if it was my imagination, I was overjoyed she responded with the same enthusiasm. It least I was thinking it that way, or at was really happening.

Either way, the past two weeks were part of the past. That was then, this is now. And having Sonny in my arms was the greatest thing I could ever ask to have at this very moment. Because of my practice of excluding her from my thoughts, my body tensed for the pain. I smiled into the kiss at the fact that I could think her name, say her name...it was my own little heaven. And I was loving it.

This time, Sonny (my heart leapt) didn't pull back. It's been less than a minute, but it was the best seconds of my entire life, and it always will be for my very long life.

Reminding myself that I had all the time in the world was comforting and a tad exhilarating. I had forever, and so did Sonny.

That's when I realized what I wanted. I wanted Sonny, of course...but I want to spend my life with her. Forever and ever in my arms, and never letting go. Having her by my side, it gave me tingles.

My heart was racing at this realization and the kiss that needed to last longer. It was crashing against my ribs, and the way Sonny giggled reminded me she could hear it. My hand moved up to stroke her hair, and the way it felt to run my fingers through it was amazing. I needed to know she was here, right here, and this wasn't a dream.

Before I could go too far, Sonny took me out of dreamland. She pulled back only to put her head on my chest and pull her hands down from hair to rest on my heart. I wrapped both arms around her then. If she was going to cut it short, I was never letting go. We stayed for a few minutes in that position: her leaning into me as she smiled at my erratic heart, and I holding her like my life depended on it. It felt so right to have her close, and those horrid two weeks meant nothing. This was happening. I had done it.

After about ten minutes, her weight shifted. The last thing I wanted was to ruin this perfect moment and talk about what we absolutely needed to talk about, but I guess it was necessity. I sighed, pulling my arms back with much regret as she stepped back.

I could only see her hair, for her head was bowed. I couldn't see what she was doing: smiling, crying...I didn't know. But when she looked up, I saw she as doing both. Seeing her face made my stomach jolt with happiness. It was a health hazard to be away from her so long. I bit my lip and just studied her again.

Of course, my memory of her was perfect as it'll every be, but now she actually did look different. The feel around her was different. Her face drooped a bit, like she had been miserable just like me. This made me feel even better than before just to know that she had still wanted me. Her eyes weren't as lively or curious as they were before, they were just sort of there. Looking sad and bored. But, when she looked up and met my eyes, they flashed with life and happiness. I was sure mine did the same.

I decided I should say something.

"Hi." I smiled at my choice of words...word.

She raised her eyebrows and laughed, her shoulders shaking. Hearing it...it made me feel so alive. I loved it.

"Hello." She smiled at me, but then bit her lip. Before I could say anything else, she continued. "We need a new plan."

"Yeah," I agreed quickly.

"Well..." She looked away, and my heart dropped a bit. Was she about to defy me? "I don't mean to..." She sighs, looking up to meet my eyes and my heart now leaps. She smirked. "I don't know about...the pack."

How many starts of realization were going to hit me today? Despite that, it hit again. The wolves. My pack. Sonny would be destroyed sooner or later. That thought had my fists clenching and a growl escape my lips. She stepped closer tome and wraps her hands around my fists, and my hands immediately loosen to hold hers. It was something we'd never really done before- holding hands. I stared at her forever, completely forgetting about what I was supposed to be debating.

"Chad."

"What? Yeah?" I asked, disoriented.

She shook her head, and now a flash of something else hit her eyes. Longing...?

Then she advanced me slowly, putting one hand on my cheek and another on my neck. I shivered, but not because of her cold touch, because of the feelings that coursed through me. She obviously thought it was because of her, so she began to move back. I quickly snatched her hands and pressed them against my skin, loving the way it felt to her so close to me. Sonny stared, surprised at my actions. Before she could do anything else though, I leaned down and began to kiss her.

She gasped in the kiss, I could feel her breath on my cheek. It was surprisingly gentle and sweet. I didn't know I was capable of such a thing. It wasn't a fiery kiss of longing, it was a loving kiss. And it even surprised me.

When I pulled back, thinking that she would disapprove of this someway, she even leaned in closer to continue. I leaned back, a little shocked I as the one to resist, and she leaned.

Sonny took a deep breath and looked up at me.

"There's something I've been wanting to tell you," She begins.

I remember what I told her in the forest. I loved her. And when she had walked away...my heart had shattered into a million pieces. Was this about to change? Was it about something else? What was she going to say?

Sonny looks down and bites her lip, wringing her hands together. I take a deep breath in through my nose, and her cinnamon smell filled my lungs. I couldn't keep myself from acting like the first time I did- in the rain. That day was the best day of my life. I moved toward her and pressed my cheek to her hair, hearing her unnecessary intake of breath. I pushed her against the wall gently, my body pressing against hers. I took deep breaths in through my nose, loving the way she was now not fighting me. even if she was, I wouldn't care. My hand moved up to her face, striking her cheek, giving me goose bumps. My heart was now almost calmed, but this position had it beating erratically once again.

I felt her hand move up to her own cheek, and she placed her hand over mine. I came own and leaned my forehead against hers. This is by far the best moment, ever, in my life.

"I love you, Chad." She barely whispers. I could hardly make out the words, but boy did I. If my heart was even beating all before, it wasn't like it was now.

I heard her chuckle. "You better calm down so I can hear your response." She looks up, and behind that smile, I see her fright. She looks beyond scared to say that. I didn't like that.

"Sonny," I moved even closer than possible, my face would probably press up against hers if I got any nearer. Her eyes were so hypnotizing in a way unknown to me, I couldn't pull my own away. She had me wrapped around her finger so easily.

And I loved it.

"Sonny," I started again quietly. Her hand tightens on my hand as I gaze into her eyes, and I smirk. She smiles guiltily, but then my expression becomes serious. "I love you, too."

"Good." She said, mockingly serious.

"Good." I smile.

"Fine!"

"Fi-!"

Sonny had crushed her lips against mine. This kiss was full of longing, but then she unexpectedly stopped it short. I looked at her curiously as she abruptly moved back.

"What?" I ask.

She puts a finger, and I smirk as she outlines my lips.

"Do you hear that?" She said as quietly as possible.

I had been so zoned in on her I hadn't even thought about anything like that. Now I listened intently, and I heard definitely heard something.

"It's probably just someone getting up to go to work." I shrug.

She shakes her head, taking a step back, and I realize she's being very serious. I long to pull her back close, but I was becoming scared at her unnatural tense position.

"Someone's coming. Hide!" She pushed me away.

I stared at her bewildered, hearing the same thing she was. "I'm not hiding! Have you forgotten what I am?"

"I can't forget anything," She stated.

"So I've heard..." I trail off, hearing something much to close to the house.

Sonny takes a deep breath through her nose, and a could almost hear a pang of realization hit her. That showed on her face, then curiosity.

"What is it?" I'm clueless.

"I know that smell..." She smiles, and walks out of the room.

I follow her out of the waterfall room to the front of the house. We were in the room that was all white with splashes of blue. She opens the curtains to the house, and gasps.

"Sonny, what's going on?"

"Ssh,"

I watch her as, five seconds later, the doorbell rings.

She flings the door open to reveal the last thing I would ever want to see on her doorstep.

Sonny smiles wide.

"Collin!"
