Chapter 45: Killing Scarlett
"It had nothing to do with you, okay?! I just couldn't trust myself not to fall in love with you afterwards…. I am barely keeping myself from falling for you even though you've electrocuted me, stapled my hand to paper, locked me outside your apartment and doesn't bother learning my daughter's name"
Pepper had no idea he felt that way at all.
"What are you saying, Asher?"
"I am saying it is so easy to hate you yet I don't hate you, Pepper. I can go as far as to say that I care about you. So no sex, alright?"
"Fine, since we are confessing embarrassing things to each other. I didn't just punch you because of the cameras. I hate that you kissed miss - I am so perky and can bake delicious pie - and it wouldn't be the most horrible thing in the world if you and the kid came back home to stay. Talking about the devil, where is…."
Asher looked at her and raised both eyebrows like he was daring her to remember her name.
