"W-What did you say?" Gary stuttered, wanting to make sure what he heard was true.
Right then, Celeste's eyes were staring deep into his. "I want you."
She said it firmly, word for word.
This time, he heard her loud and clear but he couldn't mask the shock in his eyes. His mouth was agape as he stared at her blankly. It was as if he had forgotten how to move.
She knew she was acting quite boldly. Hence it might be abrupt for him.
It was natural for him to be shocked.

As the impulse grew stronger, Celeste reached out and started unbuttoning his clothes.
Her actions were like a bolt in the blue for Gary.

He was asking her if she minded his mistake with Janice that led to her getting pregnant.
Her body tense at his words.
That's right.
What was she doing?
