He smiled and shook his head, splashing some water to her âHaha very funnyâŚâ he relaxed a little. âI do understand. I know itâs not the same but I feel insecure about Noah too⌠heâs still there and he still wants you backâ he did his best not to sound petty. A bitter taste in his throat whenever he remembered how Vikkiâs ex insisted in contacting her.
He could feel her frustration rolling out of her so he move a little closer, reaching to caress her leg âIâll do everything in my power to help you ease that feeling. Iâll work hard everyday so you can feel how much I love you and how much you mean to meâ he promised.
âSince day one Iâve always worried about you feeling like a replacement and just like you I feel lost on how to change that⌠itâs one of the reasons why I havenât asked you to marry me because fuck! I do want you to. You really have no idea but I want to do it when Iâm sure youâll know youâre the only one for me. Always and forever.â
âNoah is a leech.â Vikki was also frustrated about that too, she looked away from him when he moved close again and caressed her thighs that way. âYou already do, Alex.â She looked back at him. âYouâre an amazing person and dad, I feel very lucky to have you in my life, which is why my feelings are so stupid.âÂ
Grunting in frustration, she suddenly looked back at him at his words. âWhat?â Vikki didnât even know what to say to that. âReel back... are you proposing to me naked in the tub, Alex?â She needed to know what he was trying to do here.
