On The Edge Of A Golden World: Anne Boleyn Lives On

Getting Back

Anne's P.O.V

"Two weeks. We've been married for two months and he still visit that whore's bed." My sister jumps as I toss my brush into the wall behind her. She quicky turns her head to see the damages then shifts back around around. "Anne, you know he is waiting for you to give in. You've made it your mission to push him away. His majesty only seeks to make amends." She places both her hands on my shoulders and playfully shakes me. "You are the only one who stands in the way of your happiness." I break into a small smile, pushing her off me. "Alright, already."

She falls into her chair laughing. "You know I am right." And perhaos she is, but still I wish to make him beg for my forgiveness. "If I give in, he wins." Mary denies my prediction. "This is not a game of win or lose, little sister. You must weigh your outcomes; keeping your pride and recieving nothing or taking a risk and maybe..maybe having everything." Not agreeing or disagreeing I move behind her. "When did you become so wise, Mary?" She shrugs. "Sometime between my banishment and being cut off from our family, I learned the true meaning of love." Now it's my turn to break out into laughter. 

-------------------------------------------------

I embrace Henry's body as my head lands on his chest after our heated love making. Henry, surprised that I did not leave his bed as soon as we finished, kept his hands at his side. I lift up my chin, facing him. "Do you not wish to hold me, Henry?" Henry giving me a quizzled look, wraps his arms around me. I waste no snuggling into them. I feel an awkward silence fall between us. He removes his arms and quickly  moves to leave the bed. I pull the sheets around my naked body, standing up to confront him. "Where are you going?" 

He turns on his heel, dressed in only his trousers. "Why are you doing this?" I act  as if I am clueless to what he means. "Do not act as if you do not know what I am speaking of, Anne. Stupidity does not suit you." I cross my arms over my sheet covered chest. "Do you not want to spend time with me?" Henry places his shirt over his head and onto his body. "Anne, you are the one who did not wish for there to be any intimacy between us. Now all of a sudden, you have changed your mind." 

I stalk over to his side of the bed, dragging the sheets with me. Placing my hands on his cheeks I pull him into a sloppy kiss. He reciprocates the emotion, but pulls away. "What is this?" I huff still unable to verbally give in. "Henry, I am tired of fighting. I only wish for peace. We will not produce a child if I am always so tense." He agrees with my observation. "So then you will stop protesting my advances." I nod wrapping my arms around his neck. "Will you sen that women away from court?" He nods his head, placing his forehead against mine. Before he can kiss me, I place a finger on his lips. "Not until you exile your mistress." He groans, rolling his eyes. "I will need at least a day to make preparations." I shrug my shoulders, not caring. "I will be waiting for you, after..." I brin my lips to his, giving him a quick kiss before returning my finger to his lips. "Only a little while longer, my love."
