A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. And, I must warn you; I'll be starting school in a couple weeks, so I may only be able to update once a week. But who knows? I may have finished this by then. Oh, and you should check out my new one-shot. I think it's okay for a first. I will also be starting another multi-chapter soon, so look out for that! Anyway, without further or due, here is my fifth chap-tah! Though it's definitely not my best, I hope you enjoy it just the same.(:

P.S. I keep forgetting the disclaimer, so…

Chapter 5: That Darn Chad-Charm

Chad awoke the next morning with only two things on his mind: Sonny. And that kiss. That sweet, intense, passionate, sensual, delicious kiss Sonny had planted on him left Chad craving for more.

But not just more kissing. More Sonny. She was smart, funny, bright, unique, and just so darn cute. Everything about Sonny drew Chad to her. This was the most insane, powerful attraction he'd ever felt. Chad sighed as he started his car and took out his cell phone. After all, he had to do something about this.

~*~

Just as Sonny unrolled the curling iron from her last strand of now perfectly spiraled hair, she heard a "Moo" coming from the other side of the room. Darting over to her bed, Sonny slid her hands under the covers and clutched her cow-covered phone. Her stomach flip-flopped when she saw the caller's name. Chad.

"H-hi?" was all Sonny could manage.

"You don't always answer your phone that way, do you?" Chad joked on the other line.

Sonny was suddenly her self again. "Is there any particular reason you called, Chad?"

"Actually," Chad said, hesitating. "I was wondering if you needed a ride to work…"

Sonny couldn't stop her self from beaming at Chad's response. She was ecstatic he was offering her a ride, but she decided to play it cool. "Sure, yeah. I guess," Sonny said, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.

"Fine," Chad retorted.

"Fine."

"Good."

"Good."

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"So, I'll be there in ten," Chad concluded.

After texting a very please Tawni that she no longer needed a lift, Sonny slicked on her favorite plum lip gloss and spritzed herself with a lovely, but natural smelling, perfume. She really wanted to impress Chad, but she wasn't sure why. It might have had to do something with that amazing kiss they'd shared the previous night. Sonny could not get it out of her head. She kept telling herself that it was just because it was her first kiss, but deep down Sonny knew that wasn't it. It was because it had been with Chad.

Sonny grabbed her purse just in time to peek out the window and see Chad's car pull up into her driveway.

When Chad briefly noticed Sonny slip out her front door, he had to do a double take.

Sonny's hair was in her usual curls, but some of them were gently clipped back so that only a few delicate spirals were loose around her face. She was also wearing black leggings and a long, flowing, spaghetti strapped, turquoise blouse that made her brown eyes glow, even more that usual.

Sonny couldn't help but smirk with satisfaction when she saw Chad's expression through the car window; his tongue was practically hanging out of his mouth. She guessed the extra care she'd put into getting ready that morning might work to her advantage.

Maybe I can milk this for a little while… Sonny thought deviously.

"Hey Chad," Sonny said, batting her eyelashes as she opened his car door and plopped onto the seat.

Chad gulped and forced his eyes to look straight ahead so he could back out of the driveway. "Hey, Sonny."

"It was really sweet of you to offer me a ride," She said, placing her hand on Chad's free one.

Chills ran up and down his body. Is she flirting with me? "N-no problem." Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't DO nervous.

"Yeah…I was pleasantly surprised when I got your call," Sonny sighed, deciding to drop her flirtatious act. It was too much work.

Chad also breathed a sigh, but it was out of relief, rather than frustration. Good. She was acting normal again. Now maybe I can actually get some words to come out of my mouth.

"Well you know, there is a specific reason I'm giving you a ride. I was really hoping we could talk…about last night."

"L-last night?" Sonny stuttered, though she knew exactly what Chad was talking about.

"Yes." Chad replied, in a very matter of fact manner. "And I think you know when I'm going with this, don't you?"

"Yeah…" Sonny admitted. "The…the kiss…"

"Was incredible," Chad finished.

Sonny's cheeks became flushed as her mouth spread into a small smile. "It…was?"

"Yeah…" Chad said looking confused and embarrassed. "Y-you didn't think so?"

"No, no…I did," Sonny assured him. "I just wasn't sure you thought so."

"Well, I did," Chad said, smiling beautifully. "So, uh…what now?" He'd just pulled into Condor Studios' parking lot.

They sat in the car for about a minute until Sonny finally broke the silence.

She simply shrugged as she pushed the car door open. "S-sorry Chad, but I…I don't want to be late. We film live today. Thanks again for the ride…see ya."

Chad's jaw dropped as he watched her hurry off into the studio. Had he just been…rejected? No, no, no, no, no. This just wouldn't do. He knew that kiss was more than just a kiss- and he knew Sonny felt it too.

Time to put the charm on overdrive, Chad thought, hopping out of his convertible. Because Chad Dylan Cooper always got what he wanted. And more than anything, Chad Dylan Cooper wanted Sonny Monroe.

Sonny tried to hide the dreary expression that overtook her face as she entered So Random!'s prop house. She felt horrible; Sonny Monroe had just totally blown off Chad Dylan Cooper. Normally, this would have thrilled her, but he didn't deserve it this time. Sonny was upset because…because she liked Chad. She liked Chad a lot. And that really scared her. How on Earth could she have a romantic relationship with Chad Dylan Cooper? First of all, Chad was her show's biggest enemy. She could never do that to her cast mates, and best friends. Second of all, he was a Hollywood bad-boy who had a rep for breaking hearts. Sonny was not about to date another James Conroy. Though something inside her told her Chad was different, Sonny ignored it. She needed to focus on work anyway.

~*~

Sonny was relieved when it was time for lunch break. Instead of eating with her friends, she decided to grab a sandwich and take a walk to her special spot for some alone time.

As Sonny strolled down the empty (Or, so she thought) hallway that led to one of the studio exits, she had the strange notion that she was being followed. Creepy, Sonny observed mentally.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard some very obvious footsteps directly behind her. Instead of turning around, Sonny quickened her pace. She knew who her little stalker was, and she really wasn't in the mood for small talk, banter, an interrogation, or whatever it was Chad wanted.

Right as Sonny reached the exit door, Chad rushed over and stood in front of it, blocking her way out.

Sonny used all her strength to push past him and move him out of the way, but Chad was, unfortunately, a lot stronger than he looked.

"Chad, please let me by," Sonny demanded, trying to stay calm.

"Oh, I will," Chad replied with a smirk. "As soon as you talk to me…for at least five minutes." He figured that would be enough time to persuade Sonny to go out with him.

"F-fine. Five m-minutes," Sonny stammered. It's not like she could go anywhere anyway. Chad had her completely cornered.

When he looked into Sonny's eyes, his determined expression softened. "Have dinner with me tonight, please?" Chad pleaded gently.

Sonny wanted, more than anything, to say yes, to grab him, kiss him, and never let go, but she knew she couldn't. Things were just too…complicated.

"Chad, I…" Sonny's words and thoughts were halted by Chad's soft lips that collided with hers. Sonny's immediate reaction was to push him away, but she became awfully distracted, and instead, pulled Chad closer, wrapping her arms around his neck while his hands flowed though her hair.

Sonny was unable to conceal a small smile as Chad pulled away.

"I knew it," He taunted. "You want me!"

"Ugh. Puh-lease. You kissed me," Sonny scoffed.

"Did I Sonny, did I really?"

She glared at him.

"Oh-kay. So, I did. But you kissed back," Chad responded smugly.

Sonny was at a loss for words. He was right. She'd kissed back, and she'd enjoyed every second of it. "Fine, hotshot. You win," Sonny chimed. "I like you- more than I should. AND I want you. But you want me too."

"So then it's settled!" Chad grinned widely. "I'll pick you up at eight." He winked and strutted off.

Sonny still stood in the corner, speechless. After all, she did have a date with Chad Dylan Cooper, and this one was 100% real.

A/N: So, what did you think? I know, it's not the best, but that's because it's sort of a filler, besides Chad asking Sonny out. Anyway, you know what to do guys. If you review, I post the next chapter up tonight.(:

Press that lovely button. You know you wanna! =D
