Pepper, have a drink with me.

How about lunch tomorrow?

[Pepper smiled gently and nodded.] I'd like that.

Great. [He empties his glass and heads back to the bar for another] Within the next few days, I'm probably going to be leaving town for a while. I thought we should have lunch before I go.

Do me a favour, call every now and again so I know you're alive. [Pepper was still nursing her drink. Unlike Face who seemed more in need, she was just drinking to be social.] We could make it breakfast, you know.

I guess I can check in. [He smiles and sets his glass down, walking over to stand in front of Pepper. He put his hands on her shoulders and lets his head fall to the side a little as he studies her] Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

[She met his gaze evenly, her expression growing more serious.] I didn't hear a 'yes.'

You're not accepting implications. Got it. [He smiles] Let's make it breakfast.

[she chuckled softly.] I'll accept them from now onward.

[He allows his hands to fall from her shoulders, down to her hips and he pulls her a little closer] What made you decide?

[Pepper stepped closer, draping her arms over his shoulders. She leaned in and pressed a soft, lingering kiss to his lips.] You were honest with me when you didn't have to be.

You deserved to know just what I was dragging you into. [He wraps his arms around her waist] You actually kissed me first.

I figured it was okay after inviting you to spend the night.

[He grins] And here I thought you just wanted me to come back early tomorrow morning.

[Oh, snap. Turnabout. Pepper grinned in kind.] You're not taking implications, I see.

[Remember, Pepper, Peck here knows a thing or two about a thing or two] No, sorry. It's direct, or nothing.

[She smiled pleasantly and canted her head to one side.] Shut up and sleep with me.

[He bites his bottom lip] Why can't more women be like you?

[Pepper pulled back slightly, letting her hands run along the length of his arms only to take his hands. Yes, Face, she's going to lead you away from the bar now.] Your life would be too boring if more women were like me.

[He's more than happy to be lead away from the bar. Well, he got one drink, at least] Right, because it's incredibly exciting having women fall into bed with me without much encouragement. With you it's more like a prize. And a surprise. I mean, I wouldn't have expected you to be so direct.

[She smiled thoughtfully, glancing over her shoulder to ensure she wasn't going to trip over anything as she walked.] I'm a business woman above all else, Face. There are two things it's taught me: always know what you want and always be direct with the big boys to get what you want.

[Don't worry, Pepper. Face won't let you trip over anything] Funny how the same things apply in my line of work, too.

Some things are just universal. [Good man! Pepper's just going to take him down that hallway there and through a door at the end of the hall to her room.]
