A/N: Wow…I don't even know where to begin. First off, I'm extremely sorry for the delay. Secondly, you guys rock! The response from everyone was mind-blowing! If you didn't notice, I edited this story so that the only plotline is about the 7 Minutes in Heaven and no longer the living next door to each other. I just didn't know where I was headed with that storyline, so I'm sorry if any of you are disappointed. This fic should be resolved in about 2 or 3 chapters.

She tried to ignore him. The keyword though was tried.

Every time Sonny went to get a snack at the cafeteria, he would be there eating his stupid filet mignon with a bib. Every time she headed to Marshall's office to talk about a new sketch, she would see him talking to that Portlyn girl down the hall. She even bumped into Chad's double when she was trying to practice her lines behind a random sound stage. It was like she couldn't get away from him.

It's not like she wasn't already thinking about his smile and his gentle lips and his soft hands and his strong arms and…darn it! She was doing it again! She was so utterly pathetic. Even when Chad wasn't anywhere near her, she was still thinking about him.

She sighed heavily. Why was someone completely wrong for her feel so inexplicably good?

She saw him on her way to the prop house a few days later. "Sonny, I'm glad I caught you," he greeted.

"Chad?" Sonny wrinkled her eyebrows, not sure of what to say.

"Look, I know you don't like me and all, but I think we should talk about what happened."

"Uhh…"

"Over dinner tonight," he continued.

"What?" She looked at him like he had a dozen heads. Was this a joke?

"7:00? Your place?"

"You're serious? You don't even know where I live…"

"Wear something fancy," he added. She was too stunned to speak. Was Chad asking her out on a real date?

"Chad, I think you misunder-," she tried, before she heard his cell vibrate. He glanced down at it.

"Okay, great! I have to get going, but I'll see you then," he nodded, before running off in the other direction. Had Chad just asked her out? Had she just wordlessly accepted?

What the hell just happened here?

When her mother opened the door that night and told her that Chad Dylan Cooper was standing outside with a bouquet of roses, she literally fell back on her chair. When the fits of laughter subsided, she realized that Chad was impeccably dressed in a button-down and khakis, peering over her like she had gone nuts. And he was in fact, really holding a bouquet of roses.

"Why aren't you dressed? The restaurant will cancel the reservation in 30 minutes if we're not there," he informed, looking down at her. She stared back at him in shock at the realization that this morning's conversation really did take place and he really had meant it.

"I didn't think you were serious," she responded, getting off the floor. She tried to fix her hair quickly and pulled down at her sweatshirt suddenly feeling underdressed.

"Why wouldn't I be serious?" She thought she saw a flash of hurt sweep over his features, but it was gone in an instant.

"I never said yes," Sonny pointed out.

"You never said no," he easily countered.

"That's not how asking out someone works. There has to be an agreement between both parties."

"Did you – oh goodness. I never meant this as a date date," he said, beginning to laugh.

"You didn't?" Okay, now she was just confused. What was with his clothes?

"I told you I just wanted to talk." He was now laughing even more hysterically. She might say that it was contrived and fake, but with Chad, she couldn't tell.

"So why the roses?" She raised her eyebrows in doubt.

"It's my gift to you. It's the least I could do for being such a jerk. How much was the cab fare back?" He began to take out his wallet, until her hands shoved it away.

"Uhh, that's okay. You don't have to do anything. Thank you," she said awkwardly, taking the roses from his other hand instead.

"So you really just wanted to talk?"

"Yeah," he shrugged, looking at the floor. She bit her lip. She had a feeling deep down that he was lying, but she wasn't going to call him out on it.

"Okay…you didn't have to go through all this trouble," she said, starting to feel a little guilty now that she realized his reservations and attire was for nothing. She couldn't possibly get ready and have them get there in time.

"It's okay," he offered a smile.

"I'm sorry about that. For everything" There was a long pause, and her stomach fell at the thought he wasn't going to respond back.

"I'm sorry for the party. I just…I become someone else when all eyes are on me," he started finally. She looked into his eyes and she could tell that he meant it.

"I should get going then," Chad continued.

"Didn't you want to get dinner or something?" The words flew out of her mouth before she had the chance to filter them, and she mentally kicked herself at her idiocy. She was making it too easy for him.

"Are you offering?" he smirked, lifting an eyebrow. There was that infamous inner playboy coming out again.

"No, nevermind. Have a nice night, Chad," Sonny waved off, going to the door to let him out.

He just grinned at her as she closed the door on him.

She bumped into him the next day at the studio as she was rushing to get back to the stage. She had forgotten her hat and it took forever to find it.

To say that she's surprised to literally run into Chad's body is putting it mildly. Mackenzie Falls wasn't remotely near the So Random! stage and she knew that they shot their scenes around the same time.

"Chad!" Her voice was muffled through his Mackenzie Falls uniform and she immediately stumbled backwards, falling ungracefully to the floor.

"Sonny," he greeted, offering his hand to help her up. She took it and she lifted herself up.

"Sorry, but I'm late for rehearsal," she said hurriedly. He nodded, and she realized that he hadn't let go of her hand.

"Chad? Can you…?" she trailed off, motioning towards his grip on her hand.

"Oh," he laughed nervously, letting go of her hand. But as she turned to leave, he grabbed her arm, turned her around and kissed her out of nowhere.

And it was just as electric and passionate as the first one. She had wanted to stop him, to interrupt him, but when he swept his tongue over her lips and rubbed circles into the palm of her hand, she was already long gone. She didn't want to think about how wrong this was or how bad he was for her. All she knew was that she just wanted to taste more of him and close the gap between them.

He pulled away abruptly and she staggered backwards at the sudden lack of contact.

"Okay, so I'll see you later," he said quickly, a look of bewilderment gracing his features as if he didn't plan on the kiss at all. Her face was still burning and her lips were on fire. She couldn't shake his image out of her mind. But before she could say anything, he was moving quickly in the other direction.

She looked at his retreating form, confusion and shock written all over her own face. What was going on between them? On minute they were yelling at each other, the next they were kissing like two lovebirds who couldn't keep their hands off each other. Her phone jolted her out of her thoughts. She looked down at her phone.

Where r u? - Tawni

Great. Now she was really late for rehearsal. As if she would be able to concentrate on the show anyway.

Rehearsal gave her some time to think, and she decided that she was going to be mad at him. Who the hell runs away from a kiss without an explanation?

"You can't just run off like that!" Sonny burst into Chad's dressing room.

"I didn't run off, and you could have easily caught up to me," Chad said, unfazed.

"You knew I was on my way to rehearsal!"

"Why would I know what you So Random! people do?"

"Why was I wearing my 'Check It Out Girls' costume?"

"Were you wearing a costume? I couldn't tell." Chad said, uninterested.

"Chad!" Sonny interrupted impatiently, throwing her hands into the air.

"Sonny!" he mimicked. She just huffed.

"Why did you kiss me?" Sonny settled down.

"Why did you let me?" he shrugged.

"Argh! I now remember why I didn't talk to you before. It's all coming back to me now! You're a jerk who won't give a straightforward answer like a normal human being!"

"Changing subjects, huh? Is this your way of telling me that you let me kiss you because you wanted me to?"

"No! What? No! How did you get that crazy idea in your head? You must be out of you mind!"

"Are you sure? Cause that sounds a lot like denial to me…"

"I was merely disgusted by the idea of me wanting you to kiss you that I got carried away with my reply. Trust me. I did…do not want you to kiss me, and I will never ever let it happen again."

"Right…" Chad crossed his arms, listening to her amusedly.

"I was just in shock, that's all. I was just walking down the hallway, trying to get to the set, when bam…you come and place your lips on mine. I mean, how is a girl supposed to act?"

"Well, for starters, you could try to not kiss me and push me away if you were so disgusted, as you say," Chad pointed out.

"I was thrown off!" Sonny insisted.

"Of course, you were. It's not everyday Chad Dylan Cooper graces his presence in front of you regular people."

"Exactly!" Sonny nodded her head, not even trying to instigate a fight over his obvious disregard for so-called regular people.

"But if you were so disgusted, as you say, why are you here asking why I kissed you and not, say ripping my head off for trying to in the first place?"

"Wait, what?"

"You came in here demanding answers, meaning you yourself are having doubts about what you're feeling or what you're supposed to be feeling," he said simply.

"Uhhh…" Sonny stumbled back a bit. Since when did Chad begin to sound smart?

"It's okay. Just admit it. You find me irresistible. Don't worry. They all do," Chad went on.

"Wait a second there. Robert Pattinson and Johnny Depp are irresistible. You are like a thousand – wait, a trillion notches down from those guys."

"Are you saying I'm not irresistible?" Chad shrieked in a fairly high-pitched manner. Sonny almost burst out laughing at the girly noise of his response.

"Of course not. Only boys would yelp like that," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Chad made a noise of disagreement, but didn't let that comment faze him. He suddenly leaned into her, his face hovering merely inches away from hers. Her eyes widened.

"Wh-what are you…?" she asked, her voice hoarse. She felt her heart palpitate in anticipation and before she could think about what her body was doing, she extended her neck up to him and fluttered her eyes closed. He smirked a little at the sight of her and instead of kissing her like she expected him to, he moved his lips to her ear.

"Fine. Then you just have to admit that you totally want to kiss this irresistible man."

When her eyes opened in shock, he was already halfway out the door, his laughs echoing down the halls.

She slapped her hand on her forehead. He was a bipolar jerk, and she wanted him! What the hell was wrong with her?
