Anne sat in the bushy area of grass surrounding Barry's pond. With her, was the notebook Matthew and Marilla had given her for her 15th birthday, and also the pen Gilbert had scavenged for her. She loved the pen, not just because of the beautiful smooth green ink it produced, but mostly because of who gave it to her. Gilbert Blythe. Just thinking about him made her heart race. Lately her and Gilbert were spending more time with each other and getting closer. So close in fact, that Anne could actually feel herself falling hopelessly in love with him. Ooh, that was good she thought, and so it was written down.
Gilbert saddled Star, making sure his guitar was held firmly in place. He was making his way over to Barry's pond to make some music. Anne always said being at Barry's pond helped her think more clearly, so Gilbert was hoping for the same luck. Little did he know, he would have more luck than he ever dared to dream of.
About an hour or so into Anne's writing, she heard the beautiful strumming of a guitar and a gorgeous voice to match. The voice sounded very familiar to her, and she was completely entranced by the music, so much so, that she followed the music all the way to the owner of the voice. She was slightly shocked at who she found. "Gilbert?", she gasped, a smile gracing her face.
"Anne!", Gilbert replied, copying Anne's smile. He should have guessed Anne would be here. It was one of her favorite places in all of Avonlea, and it seemed she was doing some writing as well. Gilbert's eyes drifted down towards Anne's notebook and the pen in her hands. He smiled noticing the pen she was using, was the one he gave her.
Anne noticed the smile immediately, "what?" she asked curious as to what was making him smile all of a sudden. "The pen", he started "you actually use it". Anne smiled a soft smile. "Of course I use it. I love it. It's my favorite", Anne responded honestly. Gilbert's smile widened ( it that's even possible anymore at this point) " Say, Anne, you were writing down poetry, correct?", Gilbert asked, an idea popping into his head.
"Yeah", Anne replied confused "why?". "Well, I was just wondering if I could maybe use some of your poetry as lyrics for my song." "Oh, okay, um sure", Anne replied nervously, "but most of my poetry is romantic, so". "That's fine", Gilbert quickly assured her. "My song's actually romantic as well", explained Gilbert. Anne nodded as she handed him the notebook. Their eyes locked momentarily and Anne blushed, looking down. "Why don't you sit down and help me out here Anne?", Gilbert offered. And so she did. They worked on the song for what must have been hours, but felt like minutes. They were having so much fun together and loved being in each other's presence. When the song was finally finished, it went something like this:
A/n sorry guys I'm not that creative.
Gilbert sang the song a few times, with Anne swooning harder each time. She knew the song was for her, the way he looked at her while he sang, it just had to be, so why wouldn't he just tell her it was? By the the 5th time,Anne was beginning to get drowsy, so Gilbert leaned over and whispered "By the way, the song is for you", he said calmly. Anne smiled softly before responding "I know Gilbert". Gilbert smiled, his Anne was a smart girl. Gilbert wrapped his arm around her, and Anne snuggled her head into his chest, breathing in his scent. Gilbert kissed her forehead softly. "Good night, I love you Anne", he whispered thinking she was asleep. She was not. " I love you too Gilbert", Anne whispered softly. They lay in each other's arms as the sun set on Barry's pond.
"Oh how romantic", whispered Anne under her breath. Gilbert smiled. Oh, how romantic indeed.
FIN
