"Anthony?" Okay, that at least made some sense to her, she figured, and she never would've thought that was the reason Anthony would get the panties. She smiled a little shyly and kissed Henry, hands in his hair just the way she liked it, and licked her lips as she pulled back from him.
"I don't want a vacation or gifts or anything." She lost her smile a little once she saw how upset Henry was because of her. "I... I want you. I've always wanted you, I've..." She'd messed things up again, but she wouldn't cry about it. That was the worst thing to do with Henry, Gabriella had learned, because he just seemed to give in when she did it. She didn't want him to give in like that.
"I want you. I want to marry you. I want," deep breath, " to have kids with you someday even." Gabriella took the magazine out of his hand and threw it away angrily. "But right now I just want you to... want me the way you used to. The way you used to try and seduce me, the way..." This was coming out all wrong. She sighed and chewed her lip nervously.
"You're upset. And you hold everything back from me, almost all the time. Don't. Please. Don't... don't hold back anymore, even if you're upset or angry... especially if you're upset or angry at me. Please?" She kissed his neck and whispered nervously into his ear, "It's okay. I want you to, Henry... please? Stay angry at me and just..." This sounded so bad! "... fuck it all away or something."
