"Did you set your cousin on me like some fucking dog to make sure I wouldn't cheat on you!? Is that how little you trust me!? Because if it is maybe we really do need to talk about the future of our relationship."
Scarlett liked to spend a lot of time in bed, and that was where she was just then -- scrolling through her phone, reading funny tweets and trying to relax. Her small bubble of momentary ignorance of the outside world was shattered, however, when Ash burst into her room and began to shout. The whole thing had caught her off guard and for a second she just sat there, lounging on her bed and staring at Ash with a blank expression. She probably looked as if she wasnāt even listening, but her expression of calm began to morph into something between anger and disbelief as the words began to process.Ā āWhat the fuck.ā Her phone was discarded as she stood from the bed, to be at eye level with Ash though there was a good foot of space between the two of them.Ā āAre you being fucking serious right now? Weāre barely back to talking and youāre bursting into my room to scream at me about my fucking cousin and the future of our relationship?ā Scarlett could feel herself getting angrier as the seconds ticked by, and most of that came from the sudden intrusion and what exactly was being shouted at her. It felt like she and Ash had only just gotten back on track, and here they were again, back at square one.Ā
āFor your information, I didnāt ask Zelda to do anything. So right off the bat youāre fucking wrong. But you know what? Shit like this makes me not trust you. Why would it even cross your mind that my cousin is spying on you to see if youāre cheating if it wasnāt already in your fucking head? Why would you be thinking any of it in the first place?ā Scarlett advanced a step towards Ash, shaking her head.Ā āWe just made things right, Ash! Iām not trying to spy on you. And I did trust you, but now Iām wondering if I really should.ā Her arms moved to fold tightly across her chest, and she looked at Ash for a long moment before swallowing.Ā āIs this going to happen every time we make up? Is this just what things are going to be like? Because if it is then maybe youāre actually right. Maybe we need to talk about the future of our relationship. Or, apparently, the fucking lack of one.ā
