When I Met You | CHONI |

Chapter 22

The weeks fell into months and the couple had a solid routine, with school, their friends and each other, they were happy. Things had been quiet lately which Cheryl was grateful for, her parents had disowned her and she couldn't have been happier. She still saw her brother and he'd come to the trailer for movie nights or just to relax with his sister and Toni.

They were in their senior year now and things were getting pretty serious regarding their futures, everyone was trying to figure out what they wanted to do with their life's. They hadn't had much time to enjoy being teenagers lately but Veronica was hosting a party at La Bonne Nuit tonight and the whole school was looking forward to it. Cheryl and Toni was currently getting ready in their bedroom. Cheryl had opted for a elegant red dress with heels and Toni had chosen a simple black dress with her hair pinned up, they both looked amazing.

'Ready babe?' Toni asked.

'I'm ready, you look so beautiful' Cheryl kissed her date.

'So do you Cher, lets go'. Toni pulled Cheryl to their ride. 

'Ladies' Reggie opened the door to let the couple downstairs to the party.

'Wow this is amazing Ronnie' Toni smiled. 

'My favorite power couple, you both look beautiful, free drinks for you both all night, enjoy' Veronica hugged them both as she went to greet her other guests. 

'Here' Toni said passing Cheryl a drink.

'Thanks babe' Cheryl kissed Toni's cheek, they met up with their friends Archie, Betty, Jason, Sweetpea and Fangs who were all stood by the bar. The drinks were flowing and everyone was getting  little tipsy.

'I love this song' Cheryl shouted 'come on' she grabbed the girls and headed towards the dance floor. They danced to the next few songs, spinning each other around, laughing and dancing like maniacs. The music slowed and Toni pulled Cheryl towards her, they held each other close, swaying to the music. 'You're so beautiful Cheryl, you're the most amazing person I've ever met and i couldn't imagine my life without you' she paused 'Cheryl I love you'.

Cheryl froze they hadn't said those words to each other yet, she still believed she couldn't be loved. She looked into Toni's eyes 'I love you Toni Topaz'. They kissed still swaying to the music. Their friends looked on from the side of the dance floor grateful the girls had found each other.

'Shit it can't be' Fangs said as he slapped Sweetpea in the chest.

'Dude, what the hell' he turned his head to the direction that Fangs was looking 'what the fuck' he whispered.

'Fangs, Sweetpea it's been a while' the smaller blonde haired girl pulled them into a hug 'where's Toni, I've missed her' she asked scanning the room. 

Just as she said that Toni approached the boys Cheryl's arm wrapped around her, they were brightly smiling, they were both on cloud nine.

'Hey Fangs who's this' Toni asked, the girls back to her so she couldn't see her face. The girl turned around and was now face to face with Toni. 

'Winter' Toni said confused 'what are you doing here?'

'Toni I've missed you' Winter said pulling the girl into a hug, while shooting a glare at Cheryl, Cheryl raised a eyebrow.

As the girls pulled out of the hug Cheryl cleared her throat 'aren't you gonna introduced us babe' she wasn't about to be intimidated and she wasn't going to accept this girl flirting with her girlfriend.

'Of course babe, Winter this is my girlfriend Cheryl and Cheryl this is my ex girlfriend Winter'.

'Shit' Cheryl thought, this was Toni's previous girlfriend, the one who had to leave town. Cheryl was pulled from her thoughts by the girl speaking.

'Not exes by choice though right Toni' she smirked at Toni again 'and a redhead, I'm surprised I thought blondes were your type'.

The boys took a step back knowing that the girls were going to be butting heads any minute now.

'Excuse me?' Cheryl stepped forward, the audacity of this girl trying to hit on her girlfriend right in front of her face.

Toni wrapped her arm around Cheryl's waist knowing this could turn sour any minute if not nipped in the bud. 'Cheryl's definitely my type' she said to Winter smiling. Cheryl looked Toni's ex in the eyes a victorious smirk on her face.

'Interesting' Winter said now completely ignoring Cheryl's presence 'How about a catch up Toni? It's been a while, we could grab dinner at Pops some time, as friends of course' Winter smiled still ignoring Cheryl.

'Erm yeah sounds good' Toni replied.

'Great I'll text you, I still have your number' Winter pulled her ex lover into a hug and then left the bar, smirking as she passed Cheryl. 

Cheryl was fuming, she stormed off to the bathroom, past all their friends who just witnessed the whole thing. 'Shit Toni you better go get your girl' Sweetpea said patting Toni on the shoulder. Toni rushed after Cheryl not 100% sure of what just happened, she was in shock. The group of friends looked at each other in disbelief 'I can't believe Toni's ex just showed up like that' Betty said. 'She's capable of a lot more than that' Sweetpea said looking at Fangs.
