Chapter 46 - So, What Do You Say?

Chad's POV

Well… that didn't go as planned.

Something tells me that was the total wrong move. Sure, Sonny seemed fine with it, but her Mom… why didn't I listen to my natural insecurities that said that her Mom would hate this? Stupid, stupid, stupid…

Now the air in the room is awkward, clumsy, and I'm to blame. Why did I have to listen to my cast? If I hadn't have done that, I wouldn't be in this situation now. Ugh, note to self – never listen to my cast mates again. Never again. Never, ever, ever, ever again.

And I'm pretty sure the Munroe's hate me now. Connie particularly, and everyone else, most likely. Especially Uncle Stu, coz he's Connie's brother and very protective, according to what Sonny told me.

I'm dead to this family. Dead. Maybe even to Sonny. Maybe she just went out to the kitchen where her Mom told her to run away and never come back, to avoid me forever. And maybe Sonny listened and has gone. Damn it.

I then hear the click of a door and look over to see Sonny walk in with a weak smile on her face, and I feel my lips twist into a smile and my cheeks turn a slightly embarrassing shade of pink. I suddenly feel so nervous, but happy to see Sonny didn't escape my proposal through the back door.

"So… Sonny? What do you say?" I ask, because even though she's smiling, she's still not giving away her answer. For one of the first times in me and Sonny history, I'm actually clueless of what she's gonna say. And I'm slightly worried she'll say no.

Sonny opens her mouth to say something. She looks into the corner of the room, where I know her Mom is now standing. She nods at her, which makes my stomach twist in worry, before turning back to me.

"I- I say…" She sighs, before breaking out into a smile. She says something else that sounds like "Yes", but out of shock and nerves I can't hear it that well.

"W-what?" I stutter, and she grin, chuckling.

"Yes." She says. At that second, my hands go shaky, and I'm sure my eyes well up with tears. I blink them back though, because I should be happy. And I am!

"Yes, yes, a million times yes!" Sonny is saying, before she flings herself at me, giggling gleefully. It's that moment when I realise what's really happening. My girlfriend, the girl I love the most in the world, my Sonshine… she's now my fiancée. I don't know how, but I'm now laughing. I pick Sonny up bridal style, planting a kiss on her lips, suddenly feeling totally refreshed and ecstatic and just glad to be alive.

It's finally sinking in. Sonny Munroe… is my fiancée? It's almost too good to be true. This is what I've wanted for years…and it's finally happening.

I look around the room for other's reactions. Stu and Lisa seem happy – confused and a little suspicious, but happy. Willow, the younger kid, looks kind of confused at what's happening, and the older girl, Emma, is looking at us like we're one of those adorable romance movies. And then there's Connie. I look over at her in the corner of the room to see her frowning slightly. Thing is, she's frowning at me. She then notices that I'm looking at her and sighs.

"Look after her." She mouths to me.

"I will." I mouth back. At this, she loosens up, before a smile quietly creeps up on her lips. She nods approvingly, and I suddenly feel relaxed. Huh. Maybe Connie's gonna be fine with this marriage. At least, I hope. I smile at her and look back to my beautiful girlfriend… fiancée, who is grinning like crazy. But with the teeth-baring grin, the slightly teary eyes, the bright-red cheeks… she still manages to look like an angel. And a beautiful one, at that. My beautiful angel.

"Hooray for Sonny and Chad!" A voice suddenly cries out, and Sonny and I lift our heads and look around to see Connie grinning, clapping. The uproar spreads across the room – sure, there are only five other people in here besides me and Sonny, but everyone is smiling, congratulating us. I turn to Sonny with a grin, before noticing the ring, still lying in the velvet box on the dinner table. I pick it up, flashing it to Sonny, before winking at her.

"May I?" I ask, and she nods, grinning her stunning trademark grin. So I slip the ring delicately onto her finger. The light suddenly catches the biggest diamond and Sonny giggles, holding out her hand and scanning the ring, studying it. She smirks at me.

"Yep," She says, "Very expensive, I can tell."

I shrug, "Only the best for Mrs Allison Sonny Cooper."

She grins, chuckling sweetly, before I plant one more kiss onto her strawberry-tasting lips. I pull away after a few seconds, cuddling her gently.

"I love you, Sonny." I whisper, and I feel the simple smile form.

"I love you too." She replies softly, "And I always will. I promise"

"Me too," I say, "Promise."

Sonny's POV

A few hours later, Chad and I are the only ones still awake. Everyone else has already gone to bed, but Chad and I are so hyped that we decided to try and pull an all-nighter. Right now, it's 1:25am, and we're watching some really ancient, unbelievably cheesy rom-com that we came across while channel surfing. Two half-full hot cocoa mugs sit on the coffee table in front of us, and Chad and I are cuddling – his arm is around my back and my head is resting on his chest. It's really comfy, and I feel secure and protected in his arms. Earlier, we were watching a really scary movie – my first scary movie. I was terrified, but I didn't care. I had Chad to protect me.

This whole thing only sunk in after a few minutes of it really happening. Chad proposed, as in, marriage. And I said yes. I am now engaged… to be married. I never knew what that would feel like, and I always wanted to know. It makes me feel in love and happy and confused and beautiful and my head is spinning so fast with so many emotions that I don't know whether to start laughing like an idiot or crying tears of joy into my boyfriend's – fiancé's – shirt.

So, instead, I'm just sat on the sofa of my living room, bickering with Chad about this crazy relationship the people in the movie are having.

"Just propose, man!" Chad screams at the TV, and I hold in a giggle.

"But what will her family say?" I ask.

"To hell with her family!" Chad yells. I giggle. He always gets so worked up about this kind of thing. Chad, my fiancé, the romance nut. "He should take it from me – the girl freaking loves you, get over your fears and do it! Don't keep the lady waiting!"

I just burst out laughing at this. "Rich!" I wink, "You sure kept me waiting."

"For two years." He shrugs defensively, and I laugh.

"For my whole life." I say, brushing my lips against his cheek. I'm now so close to him, I can feel his warm breath on my face. "It's okay, though," I grin, "You're here now."

"Yup," He says, "And I'm never gonna go away."

"I know." I whisper, before he leans in once more for a kiss. I kiss him back, wrapping my arms around him as he runs his fingers through my hair. We probably would've gone further, had Willow not walked into the room at that moment to get a glass of water. We pull away in shock, and look at her with innocent smiles.

Busted.

Willow heads back to her room, leaving us to look at each other and explode laughing in amusement.

"Close call…" Chad says as I wipe a tear of laughter from my eye, wrapping my arms around him and settling back down to watch the movie. Somewhere between that moment and the end of the movie, I find myself falling asleep on the sofa, with Chad as my pillow and dreams of being a blushing bride one day.

It's finally happening. I am finally engaged to the man I love. And it's the most amazing feeling in the world.

Chad's POV

Well, the whole "all-nighter" thing didn't work out, coz Sonny and I fell asleep. I blame that movie – it was boring. That, and the fact that being snuggled up with your fiancée is the most comforting and tranquil thing in the world. No lie.

I wake up the next morning to see Sonny's little cousins sat on the other couch, watching us like we're some comedy show.

"Finally, you're awake!" Emma moans, "I've been wanting that seat for ages!"

I roll my eyes, before noticing that Sonny is lying on my Chabs. I smirk. She looks so beautiful and peaceful-looking when she sleeps – with her brunette hair sprawled across her face delicately, and that smile that says "I'm dreaming and I'm enjoying it"… she just looks like a sleeping angel.

I then feel a vibration in my stomach that sounds like a bear, and I realise I'm hungry. Well, I should be. I haven't eaten since 7 last night and it's now… noon. Wow. Talk about sleeping in.

I get up, trying not to disturb Sonny's slumber (and fail, because afterwards she looks a little uncomfortable), before striding into the kitchen to get a little snack. I then notice that Connie and Lisa are in here already, Connie making sandwiches, presumably for lunch and Lisa sat on the breakfast table, drinking a coffee. Damn, I wish I had a coffee. I could really use the wake-up call right now.

"Morning, Chad!" Connie chirps, smiling as I take an apple from the fruit bowl. "Did you sleep well?"

"Uh… yeah." I mumble, rubbing my eyes. Whether it's at the fact I have sleep dust in them or the confusion at Connie's kind tone when she was so hostile to me and Sonny getting married yesterday (Sonny told me about it last night), I don't know.

"Good, good!" She grins, which almost makes me laugh. It's strange to hear that word said twice and not be followed by a fine, fine (me and Sonny reference. Cue cheesy I-just-made-a-joke wink). "Would you like a sandwich or something?"

"Um… no thanks." I say with a forced smile at her kindness. Why is she being so nice when she apparently hated the idea of me and Sonny getting married last night? Beats me.

"Okay then." She says, walking up to me, before lowering her voice a little, "I'm sorry about how I acted last night." She whispers, "I had an experience a little like yours and Sonny's when I was younger, but it didn't turn out to well…"

I blink. She must've got engaged as young as we have…

"I know it won't turn out bad for you two though." She says, "Just… make sure you take care of her."

"I will." I smile, "Promise."

Connie nods approvingly, smiling, and I head back into the living room, where Sonny is still fast asleep.

"I miss my pillow…" She mumbles in her sleep, and I laugh, sitting back on the couch and placing her head on my stomach.

"I'm ba-ack!" I say, and I see her smile in her deep slumber.

"Hello again, pillow." She murmurs, making me and the two cousins in the room burst out laughing.

"Can we draw on her face?" Emma asks with pleading eyes, and I smirk.

"As much as I'd love to… I don't think Sonny or her boss would appreciate random squiggles on her face when she walked into work later."

Oh crap…

Work! I look over to the clock, which says 12:11pm. Damn it. We're over two hours late!

I shake Sonny in an effort to wake her up. "Stop shaking me, pillow." She murmurs, before coming round, looking up at me with a smile. "Mornin', future husband." She coos.

"Mornin', soon-to-be wife," I say, "Problem – we're late for work."

Sonny's eyes open wide, "How late?"

"Like, if we don't get there in 15 seconds, we might get fired."

Sonny gulps, getting up, "Crap…"

We spend the next ten minutes running around like headless chickens (weird saying), luckily arriving at Condor Studios at 12:30pm, when So Random go on lunch break on a Tuesday. Marshall is very suspicious of us, but we explain that we slept in and he forgives us without another word. Tawni eyes us suspiciously though.

"Did you guys sleep together or something?" She asks, and both Sonny and I pull a face. Ew, no! Sonny and me are still totally innocent! We haven't, you know, once! Sonny explains this to Tawni, who smirks.

"Is there something different about you?" She asks Sonny, scanning her, and we both shrug. Probably the fact that she is now an engaged woman. And that I'm an engaged man. We don't tell Tawni that. We decided last night not to tell anyone about this whole thing, not yet. We'll announce it when we're ready.

At that moment, Sonny's phone buzzes. She takes it out of her pocket, scans the screen, before her eyes widen. Whether this is good or bad, I don't really know.

"What was it?" I ask as she puts her phone back in her pocket.

"Apparently that Mackenzie Falls episode was a hit…" She says, "And they want me to become a regular character."

THEY IS ENGAGED! *blows party blower*. I know, like, EVERYONE wanted that, considering I had about 13 reviews full of "SAY YES SAY YES!" There you go, those people! ;)

Yeah... apologies for the shortness, but the "yes" made up for it, right?

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEMI LOVATO! :D

Review for more! :D
