Alex: squinting at the waves Damn, babe, how'd I mess up so bad? Can we fix this shit?
Beamed
I laugh softly
grabs Beemed's hand tightly I can't stand seeing you doubt me like this. I messed up, okay? But I'm begging you, give me a chance to make it right.
Beamed
I know you’re trying your best, I love you and I’m just having a hard time finding reasons to trust you again.
stands up abruptly, frustration evident in his voice Love? You think love is gonna cut it? You think just saying "I love you" erases what happened?
Beamed
No, I just want you to explain.
paces back and forth, agitated Explain? You want me to fucking explain? Fine!
Beamed
I watch him carefully, hoping he will come around
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, babe, I messed up. I let my own pain and insecurities cloud my judgment.
Beamed
I nod I just didn’t expect you to throw me down like that…
runs a hand through his hair, frustration clear on his face Yeah, well, I didn't expect to find myself in that situation either. But damn it, Beamed, I'm human too.
Beamed
Why did you throw me down? I ask softly
stops pacing, eyes filled with regret I... I was scared, alright? Scared of losing you, scared of being vulnerable and getting hurt.
Beamed
It’s ok, but maybe next time just talk to me.
softens his gaze, steps closer to Beamed You're right. I should have communicated better. I promise, from now on, I'll talk to you, no matter how tough things get.
Beamed
I hug him gently
pulls away from the hug, determination in his eyes Look, Beamed, I know I've made mistakes, but I'm committed to fixing them.
Beamed
Do you really?
grabs Beemed's shoulders firmly Damn right, I do. I'm gonna prove to you every day that I'm worthy of your trust.
Beamed
Ok then. Let’s start with a clean slate. I smile, putting my arm around him as we walk
As Alex and Beemed start rebuilding their relationship, they work on communication and trust, facing challenges and growing closer along the way.
Beamed
So, what are we gonna do today, babe?
grinning Well, how about we hit up that new seafood joint downtown? They've got a killer lobster dish that'll blow your mind.
Beamed
Ooo, I love seafood!
starts the car and revs the engine Alright, buckle up, baby. We're about to embark on a culinary adventure!
Beamed
I smile as we drive off
pulls up to the seafood restaurant and parks the car Alright, babe, we're here.
Beamed
I look outside, excitedly Oh, I can't wait to try that lobster!
steps out of the car and opens the door for Beemed, smirking Here we go, ladies first. After you, my seafood queen.
Beamed
I step out, smiling Thanks, hot stuff. You always know how to treat a girl right.
grabs Beemed's hand and leads them towards the entrance Damn straight, babe.
Beamed
We sit down and they bring us a huge lobster each
grinning Fuck yeah! Get ready for one hell of a seafood party, Beemed! whips out a napkin and wipes his mouth
Beamed
I pick up my utensils, ready to dive into the lobster
grabs his own utensils and starts cracking open the lobster Alright, babe, watch and learn.
Beamed
I start eating This is so good!
raises an eyebrow, smirking Told you, babe! This shit's finger-lickin' good! But listen, there's something else I gotta say.
Beamed
What’s up?
leans in closer, voice dropping to a low, serious tone Look, Beemed, I need to tell you something.
