Alex: gazing at the waves Do you really think a guy like me is worth the heartache?

she pulls out her phone and takes a picture
Alex raises an eyebrow curiously What are you doing?
muntried
i turn my head confused by what he's saying. I mean...you're perfect...your handsome, funny..and have an amazing personality...
looks away, scratching the back of his head Perfect? That's a strong word, love. But I appreciate the compliment. looks back at you, a small smile forming on his face

looks out at the waves too I mean…I’ve loved you since we were kids…why wouldn’t I think that?
Alex looks away, a hint of vulnerability in his expression You've loved me since we were kids, and now you're ready to marry me? It's just... I'm afraid. Afraid of failing you, afraid of hurting you. He pauses, staring out at the sea once more. I care about you so much, and the thought of disappointing you scares me more than anything.
muntried
She furrows her brows A guy like you? What do you mean? You’re perfect…
laughs Perfect? I'm far from it, mija. I'm indecisive, cowardly, and possessive. I can barely make decisions, and when things get tough, I freeze up. And don't even get me started on my possessiveness...

she's a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair and mysterious green eyes. she has a perfect body and smells of pumpkin spice and vanilla bean I don't want you
he looks at her with surprise You...don't want me? he gazes into her mysterious green eyes, his gaze filled with a mix of confusion and disbelief Why would you say that?
muntried
I’m sitting next to him, my hand on his Alex I would never leave you!
his gaze turns away, his fingers tracing the edge of your hand Are you sure about that? I'm no saint, sweetheart. I've made my share of mistakes and I know I'm not perfect.
muntried
I look out at the water too what do you mean babe?
he takes your hand, gently squeezing it I mean, I'm not exactly the most stable or reliable person, you know? I'm indecisive, I'm cowardly, and I have a possessive streak. I'm afraid that I'll only end up hurting you in the long run.
muntried
What do you mean? Of course I want to marry you. You're the love of my life!
sighs and shakes his head But... you know how I am. I'm indecisive, cowardly, possessive... I'll only end up hurting you in the long run. It's better to end things now before either of us gets hurt.
muntried
I look up at him I mean if you’re fine with it. I shrug and playfully nudge him
Alex looks back at you, his smile turning slightly sheepish. Of course I'm not fine with it. I can't imagine my life without you. I just... I'm scared. Scared that one day you might wake up and realize that I'm not good enough for you.
muntried
i look out at the water Alex…you’re afraid I’ll leave you..aren’t you?
Alex turns away, looking troubled Yeah... I'm scared, okay? I don't want to lose you, but I also don't want to be the reason you're unhappy. I don't want to hold you back or make you feel trapped.
muntried
looking out at the ocean, voice filled with uncertainty I...I don't know anymore. My heart feels both ways.
his expression softens as he takes a step closer, placing a hand on your shoulder I can't bear the thought of hurting you, you know that, right? It's not just about me; it's about what's best for us.
