Warnings: Minor Language, Insecurities
Masterlist
Insecurities get the best of people, but when dating Bradley Bradshaw he is always willing to remind his girl that he loves just as she is and wouldn’t change a thing.
Watching the tall blonde woman flirting with Bradley stung. It was common for both men and women alike to flirt with him. She couldn’t blame them. He was gorgeous, after all. But this girl looked like the type he used to go for at UVA, making her suddenly very insecure. She wore a tight-fitting bodycon dress that hugged her hourglass figure and ample chest and oozed confidence. She never had the confidence to wear something so bold, she always stuck to her favorite jeans and tees, and she rarely wore heels since she lacked the grace needed for them. She couldn’t help but wonder if maybe Bradley rather have a woman like the blonde. Come to think of it, she only ever saw him with blondes at UVA, never any brunette’s like her. She watched him laugh at something the woman said before he looked around the bar for something or someone rather. His eyes met hers, and he smiled. She turned towards the bar to order her usual diet soda, ensuring she didn’t keep watching the two.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and nearly jumped as she turned to see who it was, it was Bradley, who was smiling until he saw the look on her face.
“Honey, what’s wrong? What happened? Are you okay? Talk to me.” Tears welled in her eyes as she took a sip of her drink rather than responding to his question.
“Maybe you should go back to the woman in the gold dress.” He paused and looked at her in confusion.
“The woman in the gold dress…wait, honey, no, it’s not what you think. She was asking if I knew if you were single. I said sorry, but you weren’t, but being the wingman I am, I pointed her in Callie’s direction, as you can see over there.” Following where he was pointing, she did, in fact, see Callie and the blonde flirting in the corner. As if sensing them watching, Callie waved as she mouthed thank you to Bradley.
“Did you really think…oh sweetheart c’mere. Better yet, let’s get out of here.” He said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and waving at Penny to close their tabs.
Back at their house, he couldn’t help but hold her close as they curled up on the couch.
“You know I feel insecure sometimes too? I keep thinking one day you will find someone better, without a bunch of scars, and that has a family they can take you home to.” He said, she looked up at him in shock that he said he had such insecurities.
“I love your scars, Bradley! They are part of you! And you have a family! Are you forgetting we’ve been family since the beginning? You’ve been to every birthday and holiday! You were there for me when I needed you, and I’ve been there when you needed me too!” He smiled as he looked down at her. And she paused, realizing what he was doing. He was letting her know he understood she sometimes felt insecure. It was what made her human, but that didn’t mean she had to deal with insecurities alone, and like always, he encouraged her to speak up about how she felt.
“For the record, I rather have you in my sweatpants and hoodie any day over some gold dress, sweetheart.” She looked up at him with a smile and a small laugh. “I mean it; why do you think I always left my hoodies at your place? Do I love seeing you all dressed up? Sure, did I love you in that Wonder Woman costume back at UVA hell yeah, but my favorite is seeing you comfy in my clothes because you smile more, and when you think I’m not looking, I see you snuggle up in them and hug yourself. Sweetheart, you’re it for me. I don’t want anyone else. You’ve been my girl since day one and will always be my girl.” He said as he gently kissed her forehead before kissing her lips with a smile.
“You’re it for me, too, Bradley. I love you.” She whispered as she snuggled into him, wrapping her arms around him with a happy sigh.
“I love you too, sweetheart. And promise me, if you ever feel insecure again, you just talk to me, honey.” He said as he combed his fingers through her hair soothingly as he had always done since they were little.
“I promise.” She whispered against his chest as she squeezed him tightly in a loving hug.
“That’s my pretty girl.” He said smiling as he looked down at her lovingly.
