Something you may not know about me is that I am a country girl at heart. So this morning when I couldn't sleep and couldn't find anything good to watch, I turned on CMT and watched some music videos. It got to one of Kenny Chesney's music videos for a song I somehow hadn't heard yet called Come Over. And somehow this plot bunny got a hold of me and this came out. So I don't know how good it is but I kinda like it. Hope you do too! Also only Andrea is mine.
You can say we're done the way you always do
Cause it's easier to lie to me than yourself
Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say
We're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else
Kenny Chesney – Come Over
Pepper's friend Andrea sighed as she looked at her over their lunch. "Pepper, why do you put up with him? I thought you were going to quit after the Expo."
Pepper rolled her eyes. "I told you, I changed my mind. And really he's started helping the CEO stuff. We sharing the duties. I never really intended to quit, I was just stressed. It was easier to lie to him and tell him I was leaving then admitting to myself that I didn't want to go anywhere. Plus you'll remember that I had just nearly got blown up."
It was Andrea's turn to roll her eyes. "Honestly Pepper, that's another reason to go! You almost got blown up! What if next time you're not as lucky? On another note, he's a total playboy. What are you going to do if he cheats on you? I don't want to see you get hurt. You two are bad for each other."
The man in question was Tony Stark. After the Expo disaster and the kiss on the roof they started dancing. Now nearly five months later, one attack on New York City and beginning the move in process, Pepper's friends were still convinced that he was going to drop her like a hot potato. Andrea was just the next one in line to try to talk Pepper out it. It was a little insulting to the both of them really.
Pepper was silent as she sipped on her drink. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Andrea and sighed. "You know what? You're right. We are bad for each other. Bu-"
Andrea interrupted before Pepper could say anything else. "At least you realize it Pepper. Do you want some help getting your stuff? You haven't moved too much in have you?" Andrea smiled sadly. She felt awful for Pepper but glad that she had seen the light before the relationship had gone any farther.
There was a hint of a smile in Pepper's eyes. "No, but Tony is helping me move the rest in after lunch." She laughed at the confusion in her friend's eyes. "You didn't let me finish what I was going to say. Yes, we may be bad for each other." She said as she picked up her purse and got ready to go. "But what no one realizes is that we aren't good for anyone else either."
So there it is. I might be able to add more to it later, but it felt right to stop it there. I don't know why that song makes me think of them but even without that it's quickly becoming one of my favorite songs. Let me know what you think! *Star*
