So this one was inspired by an update of Anne's on twitter which is mentioned in the story

Enjoy! (That's not a demand more a suggestion)

I look out the hospital window. The first day since we've been together, it rains... and I have to be stuck in the hospital! I sigh slightly, this is going to be my life! The tweet runs through my brain.

Also, kissing in the rain is really nice. Just saying.

I want to! I want to kiss her desperately and repeatedly in the rain! And I can't! My phone buzzes in my pocket.

Anne: It's raining ;)

I feel myself rise a moment.

I text back.

Gilbert: I know.

Anne: just saying (-}{-)

A smile plays on my lips. She knows how to get a rise out of me.

Throughout the day on a regular basis I receive more text messages getting flirter and flirter as the day went on. By the time we wrapped up for the day, I hot footed out of the hospital and broke into a run to my car, I'm not even kidding you... I didn't want to kiss her... I NEEDED to!

I'm willing my car to drive faster then it should despite the heavy rain. ... I'm the insane guy who's speeding up. I reach the outskirts of Avonlea as the rain starts to ease.

"No! " I call out loud "No no no no!" I continue, there's still a light drizzle as I knock on the door at Green gables . By the time Mrs Lynde ends her (what seems like an hours) lecture I'm positively itching to see Anne and kiss her. Then she appears at the door. Mrs Lynde finally leaves I pull her into the yard and pull her in close. I reach so our lips are inches apart where she slides her finger to my lips.

"it's not raining anymore." She whispers with a flirting smile she kisses my cheek "better luck next time! " she teases as she goes inside without as much as a good nights kiss!

She'll drive me to insanity!

It wasn't even due to rain! It was for the middle of the summer even a really hot day, beautiful blue skies, not a cloud among them, no one bothered with wearing a jacket to church that day, the village church yard was a sea of white and light coloured shirts. I was one of the few even who had bothered with a tie. So why when church was called inside did the heavens form together? it went very dark very quickly... and the pastor closed the doors just as the heavens opened and heavy drops fell from the sky.

You've got to be kidding me! I think to myself as the rain pounded against the window. What's the likelihood!

I almost subconsciously looked over to Anne who's looking back biting her bottom lip trying to avoid the smug grin on her face from appearing. I pull out my phone as it buzzed

Anne: (rain)

I grin.

Gilbert: I know!

I glance at her as she received the text her face smirked then typed something, I look again to my phone

Anne: ;)

I looked over to her the same smile now fixed on her face as she fained interest in the sermon.

"Gilbert Blythe for heavens sake put your phone away and listen to the sermon!" My mother chastises me.

I put away my phone and sit impatiently in the pew for a few minutes, i must have been fidgeting or something because my mother whispered again "what is wrong with you?!"

"I need to go to the bathroom." I lie trying to get up.

"then for gods sake Gilbert hold it you aren't five anymore!"

Serves me right I thought I shouldn't be lying in a church.

I looked to Anne who looked back with a smile but a quizzical look on her face.

It was her fault! I think defensely. It had been her idea to kiss in the rain, it really REALLY made me want to kiss her! Especially since I know if Anne knew kissing in the rain was nice was because she had done it with Roy... and if there was one thing i want to do... its to trump Royal Gardner in the boyfriend category!

She did have to look beautiful too. She had on the dress she wore the day he saved her from the lake with a pair of thick tights on underneath and some black ankle boots her hair in a side plait.

It would be so easy to slide my hands round her long auburn hair it had been a little darker when it was wet. Gorgeously red! I could untangle her red hair from its plait letting it and her get wetter and wetter and letting her dress cling to her again like it did that day! Yes i had tried to be a gentleman that day of course i had tried... but one thing was for sure... i had NOTICED her! Today could be the day i got to touch her while wet. The idea of her lips sliding easier into mine... Oh Goodness! French kissing with Anne in the rain!

The end of the sermon snapped me out of my ever increasingly exotic daydreams... (again Sunday in church... not the most appropriate place to have daydreams like that!) I quickly exit trying to catch-up with Anne through the crowds of people.

I grab her hand and wordlessly pulled her out the door and round the side of the building Anne laughing beside me the rain still coming down heavily.

I slid in close to her and cupped her face, as i did just as quickly as the rain started it stopped all at once, the sun breaking through the black clouds which had filled the sky the last hour just as our lips were about to meet. We hovered as we realised it had stopped raining.

"Oh come on!" i sigh and laugh in frustration.

Anne laugh with me. "Third time lucky!" She whispered and kissed me on the cheek she walked away. "see you later."

Picnics by far were their favourite kind of date together. Sometimes they were formal with a blanket and basket and picnic foods... Sometimes it was a quick nip to the bakery and lazily eating sausage rolls and fairy cakes in the bare grass. Today it was the first kind. They had found a tree by the lake Gilbert's back was resting against it as he sat up. Anne's head was resting on his lap as he stroked through her long hair. His eyes closed enjoying the sun on his face.

"what are you thinking of Anne?" he asked her.

She sighed lightly as if coming out a pleasant dream "I'm still so blissfully happy Gil, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."

He grinned satisfied. "you're telling me!" agreeing with her.

"we've been together two whole months!" Anne smiled. "I was miserable with..." She trailed sadly.

Gilbert shrugged. "it happens when you're with the wrong person." He said thoughtfully. "doesn't have to be anything wrong with them par say..." he trailed.

"have you ever been miserable in a relationship before?" she asked him.

He chuckled quietly. "never been in a relationship this long to find out."

She opened her eyes. "you must have had a girlfriend longer than this before!"

"Why 'must' I have?" he asked.

"because you're Gilbert!" she exclaimed. "everyone wanted you!"

He teased "Why thank you!" he shook his head "I didn't want everyone or anyone..." he told her. "I didn't only dated a few girls, called two my girlfriend."

"I can't believe one of them was Josie!" Anne teased.

" give me a break I was fourteen and the concept of dating without someone being a 'girlfriend' wasn't a concept yet, it was only a week!" he observed. "plus there are worse people I could have dated."

She smiled, "a weak excuse!"

"I wasn't ever miserable though. Kind of enjoyed dating without being serious or any expectations for a while." He reflected. "then I met you." He sighed "it's all I wanted."

Anne shook her head "so you dated Ruby?... formed Rubert? Hot topic online?" Anne teased.

Gilbert laughed. "it wasn't like I deliberately thought she was a replacement. Ruby had always been sweet and fun but we both knew it wasn't going to work." Gilbert sighed "I think she knew my heart was else where." He reflected.

"with her 'interview'?" Anne smiled.

Gilbert groaned "was it that obvious what she was getting at?"

Anne laughed. "it wasn't obvious what you thought." She said with a hint of melancholy.

He grinned "I thought I'd already made a big enough fool out of myself... wearing my heart on my sleeve."

They sat silently for a minute.

"it wasn't always obvious. At least not to me." She said sadly.

He sighed. "Well you know me better now." He observed.

"I've re watched some of them you know... since your accident I mean some of those days I just needed your presence it wasn't until I watched it again I saw the way you had looked at me... I should have seen it ... I should have known... Then I made the mistake of watching after..." She trailed. "that's what made me think you had moved on... you wouldn't even look at me!"

He smiled "I was heartbroken Anne. It hurt..."

"I know." She said sadly. "I can't believe what I did to you... I really had no idea..."

He laughed. "I'm over it." He said smugly.

She laughed softly. "I'm glad I could make it up to you."

They both looked up as they felt water drip. They saw the clouds begin to form and the rain become regular from the skies.

Anne laughed.

"yes! Finally!" Gilbert exclaimed.

"we should..." Anne started getting up.

"No!" he said pulling her back to him. He held her close and stroked her face...

its going to happen its going to happen! His mind chanted before he captured his lips with hers.

Anne couldn't believe the difference the man could make in kissing in the rain. With Roy it had been really nice... had it been the romance rather than the person she was kissing? Because kissing Roy in the rain had NOT had this effect her! She was tingling everywhere her senses heighten as his hand slid down her back drawing her closer to him she shivered in delight.

He pulled back as her delight caused her to physically gasp! He grinned as he realised it wasn't an uncomfortable gasp but a pleasurable one. He pulled her back in for more kisses the rain dripping down their faces made it so much easier for him to slide his tongue to her mouth tapping her lips gently with it to see if she would allow access, his delight increased as she allowed it, it was his turn to shiver in delight as she brought her weight on top of him lying him on the picnic blanket.

"is this a good idea Anne?" he whispered.

She giggled before she kissed him again.

He smiled into her and turned them so they were lying side by side. Neither one of them knew how long they were lying there, but both knew they were breathless by the time they came back up for air.

"Anne we should really go for cover we could catch cold and I won't be able to go back in the lab if I have a cold." He whispered practically. She grinned and kissed him again before they pulled each other up gathered up everything and used the picnic blanket as a umbrella from the rest of the rain as they ran back to Blythe farm.

"Anne! Gilbert!" Mrs Blythe exclaimed ad the two lovers ran inside the house dripping wet. "what happened?!"

"we got caught in the rain." Gilbert said with a laugh and a wink to his girlfriend.

"Gilbert get some towels, Anne go up to the shower get warmed up I'll put on the kettle for some coffee? Tea?" she asked them.

He didn't have to wait long for Anne to come out the shower her clothes currently in the tumble dryer drying off he offered her a pair of shorts of his to wear and a t shirt while she waited for her clothes to dry and offered her a hairbrush to brush her hair.

Anne went to his room and changed into the clothes. Yes they were big on her but they were Gilbert's clothes she smelt them deeply. They smelt of him... of apples and peppermints and him! She found his lettermans jacket hanging off the end of the bed and put it on snuggling into it as she waited for him to come out the bathroom.

In the shower Gilbert's grin was full, his lips still tingling from their watery encounter... she had laid on top of him! It wasn't as if it hadn't happened before but she was so wet, his hands had got to play through the damp auburn hair... He had got to kiss her hotly in the cold rain! The shower although warm only worked as a reminder of the feeling of rain washing over him as they had lay in the rain making out... in the rain!

He soon came out the shower dried himself off and got changed before he went back to his room slid on the bed beside Anne and kissed her again.

"So?" he asked her

"So?" she reflected.

"How was it?" he whispered kissing her again.

She smiled. "Not bad!" she laughed.

He chuckled and looked at her "not bad?! Not bad!"

She laughed again then looked to him seriously. "intense." She told him.

"that it was!" he observed. "Anne?"

She knew the unasked question. "mmmm... you are a ... indescribable kisser." She whispered looking in his eyes. "I didn't think it would feel quite as strong as it did." She whispered. He smiled and kissed her again. "and I think I'm scandalously falling in love with you." She giggled "the best boyfriend in the world... but Shhhh" She joked "don't tell the others they'll want you for themselves." She paused for a moment " and you?"

"I think..." he told her "that I am the luckiest man alive." He concluded romantically.
