Sonny Munroe wiped something from her face as she prized her eyes open. She was just waking up.
She squinted at the sunlight which was pouring in through her pink flower-patterned curtains and yawned softly. She stretched out her legs in contentment and enjoyed the feeling of her cosy, comfortable bed. Something she didn't miss about Wisconsin was her bed- her old one was hard yet supposedly good for your back... Sonny preferred to have a comfy bed and an unhealthy spine.
The brunette smiled widely, exposing her white teeth as she began to remember the night before. Chad had hired out an entire movie theater for just the two of them to watch the new Twilight movie then taken her to her favourite restaurant to mark their anniversary. At first she had felt a bit guilty, as all she'd got for him was a home-made phone sock with 'CDC' and a little love heart knitted onto it, but he told her that her home-made gifts were just one of the many reasons why he liked her so much.
They went back to Sonny's place after for snacks and drinks. Chad had managed to get hold of some alcohol for them, but they had to be really careful nobody found out. Employees at Condor Studios could get fired for things like underage drinking... it didn't fit in with their child-friendly 'image'. Luckily, Sonny's mom was out for the night, not expected home 'til about 2 in the morning, so Sonny and Chad could have some time alone. Even a year into their relationship, the press still followed them everywhere, and fans often stopped and asked for their autographs or a picture. The only time they really got to themselves was when they were at Sonny's place and even then, her mum was 'supervising' most of the time... so this night was very special.
Sonny groaned at the slight headache she realised she had from the night before. She pushed her head down into her pillow then rolled onto her side. She felt like a weight had been lifted when she closed her eyes again and smirked as Chad's breath warmed her nose. He had-
Wait... Chad?
Sonny suddenly sprung into action.
"Oh good golly goosin' freakin' God!" she jumped out of bed and began pacing the room in a panic before running over to Chad, who was tangled in her Jonas Brothers bed covers, thumb in mouth and hair all over the place. She took hold of his shoulders and tried to gently wake him by shaking him slightly.
"No mommy, I don't wanna eat my vegetables." he mumbled. Sonny continued shaking but he still showed no sign of waking up apart from mumbling "Darn Randoms. So random... they're... so..." Sonny suddenly shook him violently. "RANDOM! S-s-s-Sonny?"
Sonny beside the bed flapping her arms pulling distressed faces.
"Sssh Chad, you'll wake my mom!"
"Wh-wh..." Chad rubbed his eyes and yawned. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Sonny was frantic. "I'm freakin' out!"
"Oh..." Chad was still half asleep. "Good..." he said. "What am I doing?"
"Well, it's morning... and you're in my bedroom... and my mom is in the room next door."
"Cool that's nice." Chad said and started to drift back to sleep, until it hit him and he woke up properly. "Oh no." he sat up and his blue eyes widened. "What do we do?"
"Well, we need to get you out... without my mom seeing... wait- I'll see if she's up."
Sonny left her room and Chad began to get dressed.
Dad Dylan Cooper is not going to be happy. He thought to himself.
A few minutes later, Sonny returned.
"Okay, my mom is completely out of it, and she's a heavy sleeper, so we should be alright. I think she had quite a bit to drink at her party last night so we probably don't need to worry if she checked on me sleeping and saw you because I think it will be quite easy to convince her that she's imagining things."
"Good! Your mom is scary at the best of times to be honest Sonny. I was not looking forward to getting 'the talk' from her!"
"My mom's not scary..." laughed Sonny.
"Have you seen her doing the polka?" exclaimed Chad.
"Yes, she watched that episode of Mackenzie Falls every Friday."
"Well, it is a good episode." Chad winked. "I must say I am a pretty good polka...rer."
Sonny giggled and stepped up to him. "You're pretty good at everything..." He smiled as she put her nose to his nose.
"You're not so bad yourself, m'lady." he replied. He leaned in to kiss her but she turned around and pulled him by the hand.
"We need to get you out of here Chad." she whispered.
"Yeah." he replied as they tiptoed together through Sonny's apartment. They stopped by the door and Sonny began to open it.
"You really going to let me leave without a kiss goodbye and a 'thank you' for last night?"
"Of course not." smiled Sonny. "Thank you." she put her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him in for a soft kiss. "Last night was amazing. The best ever. You're the best boyfriend ever."
"That's better." Chad said as he nuzzled into her neck. "See ya around, pretty girl."
Sonny giggled. They'd been together for a year but he still made her chuckle like a school girl every time he said something cute. She closed the door behind him and tiptoed back to her bedroom. She had such a bad migraine...
As Sonny began to recover from her hangover, more detailed memory of the night before started slowly forming in her brain.
Me and Chad were drinking... yeah... and we were laughing, yeah he was telling me the jokes they make at Mackenzie falls about Portlyn... and the pranks... and how before we were dating he used to write in his diary like, every time we spoke and how he used to get the urge to kiss me but push it to the back of his mind because he thought I hated him... yes and I said, I could never hate him... his eyes were just too blue and innocent, and then he told me my brown eyes were sexy... and I said, I'm not sexy, I'm just dorky and a bit of a goofball... and he said he said I was the sexiest goofball he'd ever met, and we left it at that... until about midnight when I said maybe he should leave soon, he told me he didn't want to go and we were quite drunk...
"Sonny!" a voice called from outside her room. "I've made pancakes, but we're out of syrup. Do you want me to run round the corner and get some? Or are you okay?"
"It's okay mom I'll eat them dry." Sonny said as she got out of bed for the second time that day. She groaned. She was still aching all over. She dragged herself to the kitchen.
"Morning hun'." said her mom. "How was your big date with Chad last night?"
"Oh, it was..." Sonny grinned and started on her huge pile of pancakes. "Good."
"That good huh? Someone texted me to say he hired out an entire movie theater just for you two. I really like that kid. Best guy you've dated. And a mighty fine actor."
"Hmm." Sonny agreed. She was secretly very pleased as she knew her mom wouldn't be saying these things if she had seen Chad in her bed last night. "He's a keeper." she smiled, as she stuffed her face with pancake.
"Honey, slow down with the eating. You'll have a food baby!"
Sonny placed her hand on her stomach.
"It'll be worth it!" she laughed.
She didn't yet realize that soon that kind of joke wouldn't be so funny.
