He smiled and shook his head, splashing some water to her “Haha very funny…” he relaxed a little. “I do understand. I know it’s not the same but I feel insecure about Noah too… he’s still there and he still wants you back” he did his best not to sound petty. A bitter taste in his throat whenever he remembered how Vikki’s 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 “I’ll do everything in my power to help you ease that feeling. I’ll work hard everyday so you can feel how much I love you and how much you mean to me” he promised.
“Since day one I’ve always worried about you feeling like a replacement and just like you I feel lost on how to change that… it’s one of the reasons why I haven’t asked you to marry me because fuck! I do want you to. You really have no idea but I want to do it when I’m sure you’ll know you’re the only one for me. Always and forever.”
“Noah is a leech.” Vikki was also frustrated about that too, she looked away from him when he moved close again and caressed her thighs that way. “You already do, Alex.” She looked back at him. “You’re an amazing person and dad, I feel very lucky to have you in my life, which is why my feelings are so stupid.”Â
Grunting in frustration, she suddenly looked back at him at his words. “What?” Vikki didn’t even know what to say to that. “Reel back... are you proposing to me naked in the tub, Alex?” She needed to know what he was trying to do here.
