Why was this even happening? Sonny thought dreading the very idea of what she was about to endure in this exact moment. Sure, Sonny had gotten over the bitterness she previously had towards this night, and she managed to actually have some fun with some of the things they it was a Friday night and there were a million things Sonny would rather be doing right now. Most of them included just her and a certain three named blonde heartthrob.

They've already played many lame games and watched even lamer movies and yet they all still sat there, waiting to get on with the next… "activity". What was the next activity you ask? Well it's quite simply really.

Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Yes, they all sunk that low. Sonny didn't even know people still played this stupid game! She sat on the floor with about twenty-five other teens and glared at the dim-witted girl who suggested this God forsaken game. She was petite with short, black, spiky hair. She was pretty, in a cute kind of way. Sonny considered that she might have recognized her from Hoosier Girl. She was unbelievably hyper and even more exuberant then Sonny, There has to be something wrong with her, Sonny thought. Who enjoyed the thought of being locked in a room for seven minutes with someone they might not even know!

Once everyone's names was written out and put into a bowl, the excitement and nervousness built up in the room, it made Sonny sick. Her eyes traveled over to Chad, who was sitting with the other Mackenzie Falls cast. Her eye caught his when she noticed he was gazing at her too. She smiled sorrowly and he grinned back, trying to make it genuine. They both quickly averted their attention to the small girl in front, about to read off the first two names.

She cleared her throat and spoke in a very soprano, girlish voice. "Okay before I pick who the first two lucky people are I'm gonna go over the rules. The rules -which are only two- are that if you feel extremely uncomfortable with the person who was choose with you or you just don't want to play at all, just say so and you don't have to go in and the other on is absolutely no forcing and no sexing." A few people laughed but she continued in a serious manner, "Just because there is a bed in there it doesn't mean we have to use it, or want to see what is going on in there seven minutes later!" She reached in the bowl of names and pulled out two. "The first two people are Nico and… oh, me." She blushed and looked over at Nico. He looked pleased and he got up, they made their way to the closet.

This happened multiple times with people Sonny didn't know and she frankly didn't care. The most exciting part of the whole game was when Marta and Skyler both got pulled out of the bowl. Both of them being from Mackenzie Falls, they thought it was gross and made a big fuss about it, and how they could never like each other like that. Sonny was getting tired and thought she finally got her wish when the girl talked to Tawni briefly, then announced that this was the last round.

She stuck her hand deep in the bowl and swished it around a few times then plucked out two names. She smiled and cleared her throat for the last time, "Chad and Sonny."

There were gasps and snickers; everyone was staring at the two to see their expression. Chad had his signature smirk and was looking at Sonny with sparkling eyes whereas Sonny was wide eyed.

They both got up from their seats on the ground and went over to the closet; Chad sauntering and Sonny reluctantly trudging over. The girl followed then and said, "Remember the rules!"

Sonny nodded and Chad popped the 'p' on, "Yup!"

Tawni unexpectedly showed up behind the pixie-like girl and winked. "Have fun!"

Then the door shut, making the closet -or more like small room- black. Pitch black.

Sonny was confused by the excited look on Tawni's face and didn't realize that Chad was moving closer to her. She could just about hear Chad smirk when he spoke. "Well isn't this just convenient."

Sonny let out a giggle right before Chad's lips silenced her own. "A whole - seven - minutes," Chad said between kisses against her lips.

A thought occurred to Sonny and she stopped abruptly. "What if someone walks in on us?"

"No one will," Chad mumbled, going back to kiss her again.

Sonny pushed him back. "But what if they do? Or what if we're really obvious when we come out?"

Chad rolled his eyes, "We won't be."

"But what if we are!"

"You need to stop worrying so much! All I want you do is kiss you right now and you're making it very difficult!" Chad sighed.

Sonny smirked. "Did I hear a hit of forcing in there?"

"No, of course not! Never," Chad smiled.

Sonny grinned back, "Oh, okay."

She reached up, about to kiss him when Chad said, "Whoa wait there! I wouldn't want to make you do anything you don't want to do!"

Sony pulled him down to her level. "I think I'll manage."

She placed her lips on his own and pulled away again almost immediately, jumping a little in her spot.

Chad sighed. "What is it now?

Sonny suddenly frowned. "I think Tawni likes you…"

"What? Sonny, if that's suppose to be funny it's the dumbest joke I've ever heard."

She didn't smile. "I'm serious, she told me herself."

"Maybe she just said it so you would stop bothering her at Tyler, if you think she likes someone then you can't hook her up with someone else."

Huh, that's a good point, Sonny thought. She was incredibly surprise it came out from Chad's mouth.

"It could be, but I don't think so… she seemed really sincere, she even ask if I liked you just incase."

Chad rolled his eyes. "Now Sonny, I know this is hard for you to comprehend but not every girl in the world is in love with me, most of them are, but not all. Now every girl thinks I'm gorgeous, but that's really a different story." Sonny was about to speak but Chad kept talking. "Tawni is one of the few who are not in love with me. I know this as a fact and I am positive she doesn't like me that way."

Sonny didn't respond and Chad lifted her chin up with his finger. "Sonny? What are you thinking?"

Sonny drew away from his touch because it didn't let her think straight. She started pacing around the large closet, mumbling to herself quietly.

Chad watched her with amused eyes. Maybe she's crazy… he thought logically. It would explain a lot. He turned back to see Sonny sitting on the carpet against a wall; her knees were up with her chin resting on them.

Chad peered at her doubtfully but she asked a question before he could.

"What if Tawni knows?"

"Knows what?" Chad asked mindlessly.

"About us. Not necessary about us dating… but about us liking each other?" She gasped, "What if she knew before we even did?"

Chad rolled his eyes at her dramatics. "And how would she know that? She doesn't care enough to even worry about that stuff."

"You would be surprised at the amount of things Tawni picks up on."

"Hmmm, well I doubt it. Why does that have anything to do with her supposedly liking me anyway? "

"Because… maybe she thought that if I thought someone was after you, the guy I like, then I would cave and tell her everything just so she wouldn't go out with you."

"Interesting theory…" Chad mused. "But if she knew you liked me then why would she try in set you up with Tyler."

"I'm not sure, I'm still trying to figure that out," Sonny complained and then was quiet for a moment, thinking. "Perhaps… she thought it would make you jealous."

Chad laughed and Sonny's eyes snapped up at him questionably. "Sorry," he chuckled, "you said 'perhaps'."

Sonny rolled her eyes. He was such a kid sometimes, she thought.

"What?" he replied innocently, "It's just nobody says perhaps anymore… actually, I don't think they did ever…"

"Can we focus?"

"On what?" Chad asked seriously.

Sonny huffed. "I don't know… Maybe, maybe we should reconsider this whole thing…"

"What 'whole thing'?"

"Us - our… relationship," Sonny looked up at Chad.

"Wait, what? You think we should break up because of a stupid Tawni conflict?" he asked incredulously.

"No! No, not break up! I mean the secret part of our… relationship."

"Hmmm, so you think we should just tell everyone?"

"Well, not necessarily everyone… just Tawni for sure, and maybe-"

"Not Nico and Grady!" Chad told her quickly, terror flashing across his features.

Sonny couldn't hold back a smile. "Why? You afraid they'll beat you up?"

"Pfft, psh - no," he said seriously. "I just don't think they should be, you know, one of our top choices…"

"Well then Chad, pry tell, who do you think should be one of our top choices?" She grinned.

"I don't know, Tawni I guess, and… I just don't know! It doesn't even matter right now! And you want to know why it doesn't matter?" His wild face suddenly turned soft, "because I'm in a dark closet with the most beautiful girl in the world playing seven minutes in heaven and I want to kiss her so bad."

Sonny melted at his words and her face broke out into an impossibly large smile. She covered her lips with his own and then began melting from not only his previous words, but him kissing back as well. He pulled her up by her arms, causing her to stand and lean against the wall behind her, making Chad lean into her further as well.

There was the time when they needed air desperately and broke apart reluctantly. Chad ran his lips along her cheekbone, determined to not let his lips leave her skin.

"Hmmm... I like what you're wearing..." Chad murmured into Sonny's hair.

Sonny smiled. "Thanks, Tawni picked it out for me. It's all her's. She claimed that I have to look good tonight for Tyler."

Chad gave her a look that said, And why are you telling me this?This caused Sonny to chuckle quietly and continue on, "So then I told her -for the millionth time- that I don't like Tyler like that so she insisted that I should look good for you… which then lead to her confession about liking you…"

"Yes, which just further proves my point that she's only told you that in hopes that you'd confide in her about me."

"Where is all this coming from?"

"I have my moments."

Sonny looked at him with a straight face. "No, you don't."

Chad furrowed his brow. "Yeah, I do! You admitted that I'm sweet sometimes!"

Sonny snorted but grinned. "Yes… I suppose." Chad's face lit up and she paused, looking at him sternly. "Sometimes," she clarified.

There was a knock on the door. "One more minute!"

Sonny gasped and tried to stop Chad so she could… organize herself. "We still have sixty seconds," was all he muttered.

She pushed harder against his chest, noticing how his chest was toned. She unconsciously ran her hands over it and quickly shook her head and tried to focus. She pushed harder, all the while eagerly kissing him back still; he finally gave in and backed away from her. She pulled down her shirt which had ridden up when she was set free and she smoothed down her hair. She began taking deep breaths in and out, her heart was pounding. She glanced over at Chad and noticed he appeared perfect as ever, minus the swollen, cherry red lips. Sonny thought that her lips probably looked the same.

Chad whispered while smirking, "That was the best seven minutes I've ever spent with someone in a closet."

Sonny's already smile grew, "Me too." She walked over to him and planted a quick kiss on his lips. When she drew back she had a raised eyebrow and a questioning look on her face. "How many times have you been in a closet with someone?"

"Does it really matter? You were the best."

Sonny rolled her eyes and went over to sit on the bed to look casual. Chad followed her lead and sat beside her, leaving quite the distances between them.

As if on cue the door swung open and light poured in. Everyone was peering in with eager looks on their faces. Sonny thought this is what it must feel like for a baby in a cradle.

Tawni was the first to speak up, "Well, well, well what do we have here? Aren't we just the best actors ever?"

Sonny laughed humorlessly, "We're not acting."

Tawni nodded, "Hmhmm, sure. I'll have a little talk with you after in our dressing room."

Sonny rolled her eyes and didn't reply.
