Love You, Hate You, Miss You (Sequel to I'll Fight For You)

Chapter Twenty-One

Sadie's P.O.V.

I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. I looked over at Soda and he was still sleeping. I tried to get out of bed without waking him up.

I thought I was successful. I had almost reached the door when Soda said, "Sadie? Where are you going?"

"Just downstairs would you like to join me?" I asked.

"I'd join you anywhere you go" he said smirking.

"Well then come on now. I'm hungry and ya better be making me some breakfast." I told him.

"Alright I'll make you what ever you want."

I laughed. "Hey why are laughing."

"You and I both know you can't cook to save your life!" I teased.

"Hey I can make toast!"

"Okay then on our anniversary I'm expecting a nice romantic toast dinner!" I declared.

"Done!"

We laughed all the way downstairs.

"What's so funny you two?" Darry asked.

"You're brother said he's going to make me toast for our anniversary!" I laughed.

"Oh my. Sodapop Curtis you better take this pretty lady out for a proper dinner on your anniversary ya hear?" He said.

"Oh don't worry I'll take care of her forever and always." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and rubbing his nose against mine.

Just then Daren walked out of the shower. He was wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. I looked at him.

"Um Daren I think you need to put some clothes on because I really shouldn't be seeing what I am right now." I said.

"Right uh I'll go do that." He said then turned around and went back into the bathroom to get dressed.

"Well that was awkward." Ponyboy said.

"Just a little." I replied.

He came back out of the bathroom a few minutes later wearing jeans and a tight white t-shirt. His hair was perfectly greased and he started putting on his shoes.

"Thanks for letting my stay here last night. Means a lot." He said getting up off the couch. He slung his bag over his shoulder and started for the door.

"I'll see ya around sis. You too guys it was nice meeting you. And hey Soda, you treat my sister right ya hear?" He said.

"Oh don't worry I take care of her, but not as much as she takes care of me." Soda replied kissing my cheek. "And hey man, I'm sorry about last night. That wasn't really who I am. I was just really tired and there's a lot of stuff goin on right now so-"

"Hey man don't sweat it. I'm sure you're a great guy. I mean why else would my sister marry you? She's got quite the eye for jerks and wouldn't marry one." He reassured.

He shook Sodas hand then turned to Darry and Ponyboy and shook theirs too. "Again it was nice meeting you and thank you for everything." He smiled.

"It was nice meeting you too." Darry and Pony said together.

"Be safe and if you need anything you know where to find me." I said then gave him a hug.

"Thanks Sade. I love you."

"Love you too little bro. See ya around."

He waved one last goodbye and left.

"So Soda, how 'bout some of that amazing toast you keep bragging about." I said.
