Glaring at the stranger, speaks softly Who's that you're laughin' with, huh?
Gritting his teeth, steps forward Well, ain't this a cozy little gathering. Mind if I join the fun? Leans against the wall, arms crossed
Sure..looks down at feet awkwardly
smirks Awkward much? Raises an eyebrow Is this your way of telling me you've been flirting with him all night?
No…looks up with innocent eyes
narrows his eyes suspiciously Oh really? Because it sure looked like you were having a damn good time. takes a step closer, invading Skilliley's personal space Don't lie to me, Skilliley. I can see right through you.
puts her hand on his arm as to stop him getting even closer It’s fine..he’s just a friend from work..we’re just talking…I promise..
Pulls his arm away from Skilliley's touch, seething with anger Just a friend, huh? I find that hard to believe.
You don’t trust me…eyes welling up with tears
sighs deeply, trying to calm himself Look, Skilliley, I'm sorry... I just... I can't help but get protective when I see you with other people.
…I..guess…I can see that…looks down at floor tears streaming down face
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Dammit, Skilliley, I'm not trying to hurt you. I just... I love you so damn much.
she takes off her shoes and walks upstairs crying
follows Skilliley upstairs, regret evident in his voice Skilliley, wait. Please, let me explain. Grabs Skilliley's arm gently
What is there to explain!?!..says tearfully throwing herself into his chest hugging him tightly
<Alex embraces Skilliley, comforting her as they both share their fears and insecurities. They have a heartfelt conversation about trust, love, and the challenges of their relationship.>
voice trembling I feel like I'm always walking on eggshells around you, Alex... Always trying to avoid any misunderstanding. It's exhausting.
squeezes Skilliley gently, speaking softly I'm sorry, Skilliley. I didn't realize it was this hard for you.
wipes away her tears I just wish you'd trust me, Alex... It hurts when you doubt me like this.
takes a deep breath, holding Skilliley's hands Skilliley, I do trust you. I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
But Alex…you do…it hurts…
gently cups Skilliley's face, looking deeply into her eyes Skilliley, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. It's just...
Just what…her bottom lip quivering
takes a deep breath, speaking quickly It's just that... I've been hurt before, Skilliley. In the past, people I trusted betrayed me, and it left scars. I guess I have a hard time fully letting my guard down.
That makes sense…I didn’t know that…I’m sorry if I reminded you of them…
pulls Skilliley into a tight embrace, voice filled with determination Skilliley, you are nothing like them. You're kind, loyal, and selfless.
she cries into his chest clinging onto him
strokes Skilliley's hair gently I promise, Skilliley, I'll work on my trust issues.
chokes back a sob You mean that, Alex? You'll really try to overcome your trust issues for me?
pulls away slightly, meeting Skilliley's gaze with unwavering determination Yes, Skilliley.
sniffles Thank you, Alex... That means a lot to me.
releases Skilliley from the embrace, taking a step back Skilliley, I have an idea. How about we go on a getaway this weekend?
grinning mischievously How about a secluded cabin in the mountains? Just you and me, away from all the noise and distractions.
We-where…you plan on going to the store to buy food and stuff or?
<During their romantic getaway, Alex surprises Skilliley by bringing a picnic basket filled with Skilliley's favorite foods and drinks.>
smiling warmly It's a little surprise, Skilliley. I wanted to make this getaway extra special for you.
It looks yummy…did you buy it from somewhere…?
grins Oh, I prepared it all myself. I went shopping for the ingredients earlier today. I hope you like it.
Ooh…then I can tell you’ve put effort into this…thank you Alex..she kisses him softly
blushes slightly, avoiding eye contact You know, Skilliley, sometimes I feel like I don't do enough for you.
N-no….that’s not true…you give me everything I could ever ask for….even though I can’t cook or clean very well….you still put up with me…
holds Skilliley's hand, speaking softly Skilliley, you're wrong. You do so much for me, more than you even realize.
