Fred and Diana walked into Orchard Slope arm in arm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Once the door was closed behind the pair Gilbert turned to Anne and extended his hand.
"Shall we my lady?" He said with a playful little bow.
"Of course kind sir." She said with a curtsie and accepted his hand.
"Who should we tell first? My parents or Marilla and Matthew?" He asked.
"I don't know. You probably want to tell your parents, but I want so desperately to run to tell Marilla and Matthew at this moment." Anne said thoughtfully.
"Whatever my Anne wants I want." He said. he leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"You're sure?" She grabbed his other hand and looked deeply into his eyes.
"Of course Anne." He said.
"Alright." She dropped his right hand and they walked down the red dirt paths toward Green Gables.
Gilbert looked over at Anne. Her golden-red hairs was in a half up tied with a velvet green ribbon, her curls falling gently over her shoulders and cascading down her back, her dress was a sea foam green which brought out the curves of her body, her eyes were glazed over, and a dreamy look dawned her features.
"Carrots." He whispered in her ear and tug a small bit of her hairs. She didn't turn, but a light pink blush crept up onto her cheeks.
He turned his head forward and they walked contentedly on.
Anne waited until she was sure he was focused ahead completely to turn her head and study him. A cap rested smartly on his brown curly haired head, his hazel eyes twinkled with joy, his mouth had a slight smile, he wore a crisp white collar shirt with a brown knitted vest and cackie colored pants. He was so different from the boy she had hated three years ago and yet, still very much that wickedly teasing boy deep down.
"We just have one more end then we'll be one door away to telling them." She said aloud
" Yup. You are sure you want this?" He said uneasily.
"Of course. I like you like that. I never felt like this before." She said honestly.
"What do you feel like around me?" Gilbert asked searching his eyes.
"Like... I'm closer to being perfectly happy." She answered with shining eyes.
"Then lets go in." He said. They had not stopped walking during there conversation and presently found themselves at the front of Green Gables' kitchen door.
Amazing, I only intended for this to be a one-shot and here we are at chapter six. With many chapters to go.
