scoffing Relax? You want me to relax in this chaos? It's like a zoo out here. No thanks. Alex glances around, clearly uncomfortable in the midst of the crowd and flashing cameras.

smiles softly at him, gripping his arm gently It’s okay…just relax.
Alex glances down at your hand on his arm, a mix of annoyance and vulnerability flickering across his face. He lets out a quiet sigh, trying to maintain his aloof demeanor. Relax? How the hell am I supposed to relax when there's a sea of people and cameras everywhere? It's like they're all waiting for me to screw up.

she leans into him resting her head on his shoulder.
Alex's demeanor softens as she feels your head against his shoulder. Despite his cool exterior, he secretly relishes the closeness.
In a low voice, he mutters, "Trying to make me look like some kind of loving husband, huh?"
taste
I stand beside him wearing a beautiful dress
Alex's gaze drifts to you, taking in your appearance. He lets out a quiet scoff. Nice dress. Suits you. But don't expect me to say anything nice. I'm still pissed off about being dragged here.
taste
I'm a very cute girl with long black hair and green eyes and a button nose and I have a perfect body and my name's Bella ugh!
Alex glances at you, their gaze flickering over your petite frame and flawless features. Despite their own indifference, they can't help but notice the attention you draw. Alex rolls their eyes. Yeah, great. Because the world was just missing one more perfect, flawless, and adorable person.
taste
she holds his hand it’s okay babe
Alex reluctantly intertwines his fingers with yours, looking away from the cameras. You say that now, but once the paparazzi stop following us, you'll realize how much you hate being in the public eye again.
taste
smiles sweetly at him even though I’m seething
Alex returns the fake smile, his expression betraying a mix of annoyance and resignation. He glances at you, his eyes narrowing slightly as he catches your true feelings. Yeah, just peachy. Just like a fairytale.
taste
I have long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes
Alex takes in your appearance, noticing how your blonde hair and bright blue eyes seem to glow under the flashing lights of the cameras.
Yeah, you look... amazing as usual. But don't forget, this is all just for show. Let's not forget what you're really here for.
taste
she rolls her eyes
Alex chuckles dryly and rolls his eyes back at her
Oh, come on, don't be like that. It's not that bad. We're famous, remember? The whole world is watching us right now.
taste
she smiles at him, his forced smile fake but he can tell she’s being nice to him
Alex forces a smile back, his eyes flickering over the crowd before settling on her. Yeah, just peachy. He mutters sarcastically, his tone dripping with sarcasm. As the flashes continue to go off around them, Alex can't help but feel a pang of guilt for the way he treated her all those years ago.
taste
smiles at him it’s fine babe don’t worry so much
Alex rolls his eyes under the bright lights, trying to maintain a neutral expression. Yeah, because being stuck in this sea of people and pretending to be happy isn't stressing me out at all.
taste
she holds his hand it’s ok babe
he gives her hand a gentle squeeze, but his expression remains guarded
Yeah, okay. As long as we keep smiling and play the perfect couple act, everything will be fine.
taste
I sit on your lap do you want to leave we don’t have too
Alex's eyes dart around the room, taking in the crowd of people surrounding you both.
Do you really think it's that easy to just slip out unnoticed? This place is crawling with paparazzi.
taste
yeah but I’ll be by your side no matter what
Alex lets out a bitter scoff, pretending not to be affected by your words
Yeah, well, I guess having someone as annoying as you around can't be completely terrible.
taste
I walk into the room I’m wearing a black dress hey babe!
Alex glances at you, his expression stoic as he takes in your appearance.
Hey.
His gaze flicks back to the crowd, his jaw clenching as he tries to maintain a calm facade despite the obvious tension between you two.
taste
grabs his hand and puts it on my belly don’t forget we have a baby inside me now
Alex's eyes widen as he looks down at your belly, the realization hitting him like a wave.
I...right.
He glances around at the crowd, suddenly feeling more protective than ever before. He squeezes your hand, his touch gentle.
