Because I couldn't resist!

There was certain things Gilbert Blythe was desperate to do once he started dated Anne Shirley.

1) He wanted to kiss her. Not just kiss her, but kiss her like no one else ever had or ever could. Turns out this was easier then expected. She had told her friends he was a "great kisser" which had made him smile no end, especially after how gentle he had been on their first kiss. On the way back from the park he had asked Anne directly " am I a better kisser then Roy?" Anne had snorted a laugh. " of course you are!" She has told him. She went on to explain everything had felt forced with Roy, nothing came naturally. When Gilbert had first kissed her she expected it to be similar but had tingled everywhere with the lightest touch of his lips. Once they had become more familiar with each others kisses (which hadn't been long) they were (Anne's exact words) "incredible" that's right ladies and gentlemen! They had 'incredible' kisses!

2) He wanted to take her on as many dates as possible! Spend as much time as humanly possible with her. At first it had been a little difficult. Anne had found his exam schedule and had chased each one of the lecturers explaining why he wouldn't be in the exams and asked for them to reschedule the exams for Gilbert. The three lectures had agreed and had agreed to contact Gilbert directly. When the first contacted him on the Monday morning he had been confused how they knew exactly. "a pretty little redheaded chased me across campus, I assumed she was a girlfriend." He had looked up at Anne sitting across from him and looked at her in amazement. " she is." He said with a smile. " she is my girlfriend." Once he hung up on the lecturer he had reached across and kissed her thoroughly. So thoroughly she had been speechless for a few minutes. His affection despite his belief (that it couldn't have increased) did so that day. He wanted to date her more! How was it humanly possible to love someone so much?! So dates were often short or exam based, she didn't seem to mind, she wanted to be with him... just wanted to be around him... that was enough... Wednesday into Thursday had been a very brief reprieve (when they had made the video) by Thursday afternoon Gilbert was across campus sitting an exam.

3) He wanted to be the doting boyfriend. He couldn't buy her as many gifts as Roy could, he wasn't able to write poetry or post arty videos with it, but he knew, he could love her (a good sight more and truer then Roy in his opinion).

4) He wanted her in his lettermans jacket! He'd been trying to get her in it since he rescued her from that lake! That day had born a dream which refused to be fulfilled! Near on two years it took to get it on her! " but it's not even cold" she objected. He didn't care! He wanted it on her. High school girls wanted nothing more then be in their boyfriends jacket. He had often looked at his own sadly, like it had been missing out on the experience of being wrapped round a girls body keeping her warm. He didn't want to give out to anyone, he wanted to give it to Anne! It's why he had insisted... and she had looked gorgeous in it! Finally the high school Gilbert beamed inside of him!

There were a few more... future dreams... He wanted to play guitar for her in the moonlight her looking down from a balcony... that would take time... He would need to learn guitar... He could play piano... sort of. Enough to impress most girls... never Anne though, nothing would impress Anne easily. He wanted to one day propose to her. He wanted... to (again with the old man language...!) make love with her! Not particularly in that order but hey, if he had to wait that long he would... He could... He LOVED Anne! He knew he shouldn't feel it that quickly or easily or early in their relationship! But in truth, the right girl... damn he didn't mind admitting to himself he wanted to marry her one day! But there was a few more romantic gestures he could fulfil...

One of which he was fulfilling tonight. One of the advantages of being captain of the freshman soccer team was he had the key to the college stadium for practices!

Meet me at the soccer stadium 7:30pm entrance one. He sent to Anne. He was pleased when he found an old boombox with a CD player in it. He could record some of his mp3s onto a CD. He smiled as he decided to make it purely cheesy! Anne pretends not to love it but her eyes would give her away

He hoped he had the balance of fun and complete sop right... and cheese! He smiled to himself. It had to be perfect... everything had to be perfect for her.

What is Gilbert Blythe up to? Anne wondered to herself. She knew there were no soccer games on this late in the season. She had been to a lot of the games to cheer Gilbert on. Even when they hadn't been talking, she didn't tell anyone of course she had sneaked in at the beginning of the game to watch then left as the final whistle was blown. She knew now why of course. At the time she had justified she missed Gilbert, even watching him was preferable to not seeing him at all... even if it was off session in the cold soccer stadium. She missed him! She knew now why she couldn't take her eyes off him, why she had longed to run to him and hug him close, even when he was all hot and sweaty! She had never pictured herself to be one of those girls who swooned at soccer players... but Gilbert wasn't... He was deeper then all that! Part of her wished... in high school... God! They were perfect for each other! Who wouldn't want Gilbert Blythe! She felt the buzz if her phone so she pulled it out and read the text message.

Come inside use the side entrance and come on to the pitch Gil x

She looked at her phone in disbelief. What was he up to?! She turned and did as directed. As she came to the ramp onto the pitch she noticed on the floor lighting the way to the pitch were tea light candles lit. It surprised her some how, though she knew it shouldn't. She heard in the distance the sound of music which was too localised to be coming from the speakers inside the stadium she made it into the pitch she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to find her boyfriend with a single rose in his hand which he slid into the top of her long red braid which came over her shoulder. She smiled biting her bottom lip. He took off his lettermans jacket and put it round her, he took her by the hand and led her to the section of the soccer field he had surrounded with tea lights and candles she noticed the music coming from the boombox she saw a picnic basket beside it. He held her close and started to dance with her. Something inside of Anne giggled.

He smiled " I know it's very..." He trailed, had this been a stupid dream?

"80s movies." She smiled. " is that where you got all your moves from?" she teased.

" apparently... raised by them." He said as they laughed together.

She looked at him. " you are so cheesy." She laughed.

" but you like it?" he asked her with a grin.

Anne looked around her eyes were lit beautifully he could tell she did like it before she teased out "hmmmm?..." He caught her lips in his as they kissed they stood still together while they kissed. " I've got to immortalise this!" She said pulling out her phone.

" oh Instagram?" he asked.

" no." She said playing with her phone getting the camera up. "our very own personal album." She smiled. " just for me and you."

He looked to her and kissed her squarely on the lips, he heard the familiar clicking noise of a picture being taken. He was somehow turned on by the fact Anne wanted to immortalise their kisses! He looked to her then simultaneously turned and smiled at the camera. The same dorky smile he was sure hasn't left him for almost two weeks. She turned and took pictures of the tea lights and the boom box and picnic basket. " more later." She smiled. "I just want to enjoy this." She said hugging into his chest she felt his arms encircle her. She never felt safer or loved more in her life, except of course when she reflected... whenever she was with Gilbert.

Picnic blanket spread underneath them, what was the dance floor now was their picnic spot. You could tell they had eaten. plastic plates on the edge of the blanket with left over fruits deli meats chips and pastries. In the plastic flutes was the best sparkling wine Gilbert could afford. They lay on the picnic blanket their hands clasped together the music still playing in the background on repeat behind them. He loved... He loved that he knew Roy had taken her to the most expensive restaurants in town, probably wined her on more expensive alcohol, yet she blushed she looked at him like he was worth a thousand Roy Gardner's! He told her this, he couldn't help but tell her.

" it doesn't matter about what wine we drink." She whispered, " or the fancy food." She hugged into his chest. " it matters that it's you." She planted a kiss on his jaw. " and the wine is just as nice as anything Roy ever wined and dined me on." She paused and played with the buttons on his shirt. " and you aren't worth a thousand Roy's." She said quietly. " you're worth incalculable numbers of Roy's to me."

Wow! And he had thought he was being the romantic one!

They were careful to clean up after themselves putting all evidence every tea light and candle packed away in the picnic basket Gilbert carried the boom box it was heavier Anne carried the picnic basket. Gilbert was careful to lock everything up. Their arm's stayed securely around each other. They made their way back up to Gilbert's room he took the CD out put it in a plastic cover and handed to Anne. " our first mix tape." He said with a grin.

" you are so cheesy!" She laughed taking the CD from him and smiling down at it.

They stayed wrapped in each other while they made their way back to Anne's dorms.

"I love our dates." Anne told him gently at the doors of her dorms.

" and me." He said with a smirk. She laughed and looked at him. "I can't quite believe it yet."

"is that why you keep saying it?" she asked him.

" repeat and learn, repeat and learn." He told her closing his eyes as if memorizing it.

She laughed "you sound like Mr Phillips."

They paused for a moment gazing into the others eyes. "last night in Toronto for while." He said to her kissing her forehead.

"a lot has changed since our first night here." She said stroking his shirt again. "I broke your heart." She whispered.

He sighed. "Anne don't keep blaming yourself, especially when you know I don't blame you. I can't blame you. You pieced my heart back together almost two weeks ago." He reminded her. "and it's been the best almost two weeks of my life." He reached down and kissed her passionately. Much like he had when they had been lying on the soccer pitch for the majority of the night. They pulled back gently to catch breath.

"Thank you." Anne whispered to him. "Thank you for loving me so much."

He grinned gently "my pleasure." He whispered to her Anne blushing red. He pulled back a little more "so I'll call round here about 1ish. Gives us plenty of time to get to the airport. Head home."

"Oh I miss Avonlea!" she told him expressively. "Oh and Marilla and Rachel and the twins! Oh can we go to the lake of shining water and have a real picnic there Gil? You and me..." she was trailing into her dream world as Gilbert watched her eyes they seemed to have stars in them. Her dream world it seemed now included him! He had always wanted to be there with her... now he could be.

"as you wish." He said kissing her hand. He gently moved away walking down the path.

"Gil, your jacket" she called realising she still had it on.

He turned round and started to walk backwards he grinned "keep it the night." He smiled "you can give me it back tomorrow ." She smiled and blew him a kiss which he fake caught and held to his heart looking like he was swooning. She laughed as he walked away still watching her. "night Anne. Love you." He said casually.

Anne put the jacket on the back of her chair to start with. She changed into get pyjamas (forgetting about the single rose she had in her hair) she looked over at the jacket again. She picked it up and wrapped it round herself smelling it deeply she took the CD and put it into her old CD player. She lay on her bed listened to the music she knew the jacket smelt of Gilbert. She snuggled down and soon fell asleep. With only one thought on her mind.

Gilbert Blythe really was her soulmate.
