Now for Gilbert and Anne to talk.

"Anne, I think we need to talk," Gilbert said when he caught up to Anne in the park.

"I'm sorry, Gil, but I'm late for class. Let's talk later," Anne replied to Gilbert while standing and turning to walk away.

Gilbert grabbed her hand to stop her and turned her back to face him. "You and I both know that your first class doesn't start until 10. I even have class before you."

"Good point, why aren't you there? You don't want to fall behind with exams right around the corner." Anne was trying to change the subject as she needed more time to think and she was distracted with the feel of Gilbert's hand on hers. It was warm and their hands fit perfectly but yet she felt goose bumps on her arms; just like last night when he first touched her. "And, I may not have class right now, but I do need to study," Anne continued. While Anne was saying all this, she was staring anywhere but Gilbert's eyes as she was afraid to look into them.

Gilbert took a step closer and moved her chin so he could look into her eyes. "Forget about school for right now, Anne. Don't run away," Gilbert whispered.

Anne was lost in his hazel eyes and the feel of his hand on her cheek that when Gilbert leaned in, Anne met him half way and their lips met.

This kiss had just as much passion, maybe even more than that kiss last night. Anne found herself letting go of the hand that she was still holding and wrapped it around Gilbert's neck along with her other hand to bring him closer. If that was even possible as Anne could already feel his stomach muscles against her own.

Gilbert angled Anne's head to deepen the kiss and once Anne felt his tongue against hers, she surprised herself by groaning into his mouth.

They never noticed the people walking by and starring and some were quite disgusted at such a public display of affection. The only thing Gilbert and Anne were focused on was each other.

They broke apart after a couple of minutes to catch their breath. Gilbert leaned in and kissed under her ear which made Anne squirm and whispered, "I love you, Anne."

This made Anne freeze and pull away. "What did you say?"

While looking into each other's eyes, Gilbert repeated, "I love you, Anne. Ever since I met you. And now I know you love me too…"

"Wait," Anne covered his mouth with her hand to stop him. "I never said that. We're just good friends."

"What about last night and just now? Didn't you feel anything?"

"I….I" Anne started saying before her phone vibrated saying she had a text message so she pulled it out of her pocket and saw a text message from Phil saying "Where are you? I've been wait for 10 minutes."

Anne just then remembered that she was supposed to meet Phil. "I got to go. I'm supposed to be studying with Phil and now I'm late." Anne started backing away from Gilbert. "Let's talk later."

"But, Anne wait…" Gilbert said trying to stop her.

Anne walked back to him and kissed his cheek before walking quickly down the path, shouting, "I'll see you tonight."

Gilbert smiled as he watched Anne walk away. That kiss on the cheek had given him some hope and she never said that she didn't love him. He knew in his heart that she loved him and he would get her to admit it. He was still smiling as he walked to the class that he was already late for.

I'm sorry the chapters are short but I think I make it up by updating often. Thanks for the reviews as it makes me want to write more. Hopefully will update again this week.
