"Baby, I'm pretty tired... it's late, and I've got work in the morning," Jesse said as he brushed my hair out of my face lightly. "Mind if I head upstairs and hit the sack?"
I smiled and kissed his cheek. "I think I'll live if you go to bed," I said
smiling. "Jesse..." I said quietly as I looked down.
"Yeah, Sadie?" he said eyeing me suspiciously. "What is it?"
I looked up at him, my frown turned to a smile. "Never mind, it's nothing," I sighed. "I love you."
Jesse grinned and got up off of the couch next to me. He pulled me up too, and into his arms. "God... I've missed that," he said as he held me close to him. He was hugging me so tight I felt like our hearts were trying to touch. "I love you, Sadie Elizabeth McDaniel's, with all my heart." With that, Jesse kissed my lips and walked up the steps. He paused at the top of the stairs, and turned to look at me.
'God,' I thought. 'He looks so happy... I'M so happy.' I smiled at him, and he turned and headed into the bedroom. I sat on the couch and sighed. "Nothing could ruin this night," I said out loud, to no one in particular.
"You got that one wrong," Dominic said as he entered the room. "Now that we're alone, we've got some things to discuss, Sadie."
"Not now, Dominic," I growled. "You said enough two years ago, FUCK OFF."
Dominic laughed a bit, but was taken back by what I'd said. "Sadie, you never were one to get big with me, so why start now?"
"Because it's your fault I was miserable the past two years. One, you lied to me... two, you were like my big brother, you took care of me, and then... well hey, you fucked me over. You deserve no respect from me, you're just a little man stuck in a big guy's body," I said angrily.
"Listen, you're just a little bitch. I helped tare Jesse away from you once, and I'll be damned if I won't do it again, watch what you say, Pumpkin, you don't know who the fuck you're messing with," he growled as he stepped towards me.
I stood up. "How about you tell me why you did that, anyway? I've been waiting two years, and I think right about now's a good time for a good fucking explanation," I challenged. I took a step towards Dominic. "Nic, you never were one to scare me... don't think for even one second you can start now."
"Sadie, let's take a little stroll outside shall we?" Dominic said as he opened the front door. "That wasn't a question that was a command."
"Since I ever took commands from your bald ass," I growled.
Dominic grabbed my arm and drug me outside, "I said let's go."
"Fine, ease up on that grip there, killer, I can walk," I said under my
breath.
Dominic threw me down on the curb, and stood in front of me. Acting as if I didn't care, I took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it. I took a long drag, and let it out slowly, trying to put the whole situation into a perspective into my head. "Now, why'd you come back... after two years? Why believe him now?"
I took another drag, letting his question sink into my head. I shook my head, "I knew in my heart he wouldn't have done that to me, and I figured out you were just being a dick. I figured, 'Hey, Dominic's done this before. He broke Mia and Brian up this way, why not me and Jesse?' I really hadn't thought you had a reason for it, but it was in the back of my mind the past two years. Being locked up for two years gives you a long time to think."
Dominic paced in front of me. He took my cigarette and took a drag, then dropped it to the street. He stomped it out slowly. "Sadie, you were never a good influence on my brother, Jesse..." Dominic stopped and got close to me. "You were more of a distraction then anything. He started losing races when you came around, he stopped winning me money," Dominic paused. "Tran started coming after him more, too. Why is that Sadie?"
My heart raced. 'Tran,' I thought. 'Why's he gotta bring up TRAN? Of all
fucking people.'
"Cat got your tongue, Sadie? Tran told me all about that little fling of yours you had when you and Jesse broke up the first time. I wonder what Jesse would think if I told him about that........." Dominic started walking towards the house. "I think I'll find out," he said as he walked up the
front steps.
"Dominic!" I shouted. "Stop... come back here, we're not done."
"We're done, and you and Jesse are about to be way over," he said with a grin as he opened the door.
A/N: I tried to make it longer, is that good? Haha. They'll get longer, I promise.
