P.S: I don't own anything!

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

Honey, Honey- ABBA, 1974

Maria and Georg had been dating for a month now, getting close to the end of the school year. Georg had taken Maria on countless dates and shown her the wonders of having a courtship with someone.

Now she was being guided by Georg- with a blind fold over her eyes-to a 'surprise destination' as Georg claimed. This could be anywhere, even the thought of it made her dizzy!

"Are you ready?" she heard Georg's baritone voice behind her, she simply nodded.

He slowly took the blindfold off. When she opened her eyes, what she saw was breathtaking.

In front of her stood a gazebo, decorated with lights.

"Georg..." she turned around to face him. Then she mustered up all her love and placed a kiss on his lips before pulling away which made a smack sound, "This is wonderful, thank you."

"What did I do to deserve this?" he looked out behind the bush to see Hede give him a thumbs up, smiling widely at the scene in front of her.

"Everything!"

Maria wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest as she whispered,

"Thank you for opening my eyes to this new and wonderful world of love that I've been yearning for since I was a child."

Georg looked at the scar on Maria's arm, remembering when Maria opened up to him about her childhood, her parents, her uncle, everything.

She continued, "Thank you for listening to me when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for being my friend, my boyfriend."

Georg used his finger to lift her chin so he could see her face, her eyes were filled with tears- not just any tears, happy tears.

"Thank you." her voice cracked, the whisper was almost inaudible. "There's no other place in this world where I rather would be."

Georg wanted to thank her for that, but he was speechless. No words came out of his mouth, instead he pulled her into a hug.

As they pulled away, Maria started singing,

"The way that you kiss goodnight,
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing!"

Georg had heard her sing a few times before they started their courtship, but just now was he realizing how angelic her voice was.

He joined in, "I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high."

"But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be."

"So, that's where you got that from!"

"Whatever are you talking about?" Maria raised an eyebrow playfully, acting like she hadn't said the line: 'There's no other place in this world where I rather would be' in her emotional 'speech' to Georg. Georg gave her a pointed look, "Fine, I admit it! It is a good line though."

Laying down on the grass, the both of them look up at the stars as they chat the night away.

A/N: Another chapter done! I loved writing this chapter and I hope you enjoyed reading it as I enjoyed writing it! Also, adjustments are added in the first chapter- 505. Just very tiny adjustments since I read it over again. Feel free to give feedback and review and I'm always open to criticism!
