I Found Home... It's You

The Start of Something New

After the wedding, the Cuthbert's invited Bash, Mary, and Gilbert over for dinner. The ride back to Green Gables was fascinating. Anne seemed pretty excited for dinner with the newly wedded couple, and Gilbert (Wink wonk). The same happened on the ride back to the Blythe/Lacroix residence.

"Oh, Marilla, don't you think tonight will be ever so splendid?" Anne questioned letting her hair blow in the wind while standing on the wagon. She was very excited for tonight but didn't have a specific reason why. Was it the thought of marriage? Was it seeing Gilbert? Or was it just having company over that made her excited? We may never know. But she was excited to say the least. "Well, I suppose it will be a nice evening, Anne. Now, sit down before you catch your death." Anne sat down gazing at the scenery around her, awaiting the night to come.  

"Tonight will be very interesting, don't you think, Bash?" Gilbert said. "Well, I don't see why not, Blythe. Why do you think so?" Bash knowingly asked. Gilbert didn't know what to say without being made fun of. "Well, I- I don't know," Gilbert gulped. "Any encounter with Anne is known to be an intriguing experience." Bash skeptically looked at Gil and finally gave up. "Whatever you say, Blythe, we all know you're head over heels for her." Gilbert blushed at this. "Oh, Sebastian leave the poor boy alone." Mary shut Bash up. Gilbert decided to keep his mouth shut and enjoy thinking about what's to come. 

*************

After arriving home Anne and Marilla started dinner right away, and they happened to finish right on time. 'Knock Knock'  Anne ran to answer the door. "Good evening Bash, Mary, Gilbert, please, come in. " Anne greeted the guests. "Good evening to you too, Anne." Gilbert replied as he entered Green Gables. "Hello everyone." Marilla said as they were hanging up their coats. "Well hello, Ms. Cuthbert. Thank you for inviting us over for dinner." Bash said. "Blythe here, hasn't shut up about dinner since the service." Bash winked at Gilbert who shot daggers his way. "Well I suppose I should say the same." Bash gave Marilla a confused look. "Anne wouldn't stay quiet about it on the way here, and while we were preparing dinner." Anne and Gilbert both started to blush while Marilla and Bash had knowing grins on their faces. "Well," Mary interrupted the silence. "Shall we eat?" They all walked into the dining room.

"This meal is exquisite, Marilla." Stated Gilbert. "Why thank you, Gilbert. That is very kind." Gilbert smiled at Marilla. "If you like it so much," Started Marilla "I propose that you join us for dinner every Friday, if you would like." Bash smiled. "Of course, Mrs. Marilla, but we wouldn't want to intrude." "Oh you wouldn't be intruding at all, you're welcome anytime." Anne took the silence as a ticket for her to talk. "Let's toast to 'The start of something new'. " They all raised their glasses and toasted. They talked for a while about anything they all had a very engaging conversation about the future all talking about their aspirations in life and what's to come. Suddenly Anne felt someones eyes on her, she looked towards Gilbert and locked eyes with him. She started to get that fuzzy feeling in her stomach that always seem to come when Gilbert is near. They have been gazing into each others eyes, for what feels like years when they heard a loud 'cough'. They both jumped a little and set their gaze on Bash who was the source of the cough. They both looked around and saw Bash, Mary, and Marilla smiling at them like idiots. The two teens began to blush furiously and looked down at their food not willing to speak to anyone. "Haha, Oh, Blythe when will you stop being such a moke?" Bash soon started laughing hysterically. "Now, now, we all know that scene was quite amusing, but we should probably get going." Mary tried to calm Bash down. 

"Thank you for this lovely meal, Mrs. Cuthbert." Gilbert stood up, and Anne followed. "Here, let me take every ones dishes." She gathered up all of the dishes in her hands, falling while doing it. Gilbert grabbed Anne's arm to help her up. They both looked into each others eyes for a moment before looking down and gathering the dishes once again. They brought the dishes to the sink, Gilbert's hand brushed against Anne's. She looked up at his hazel eyes getting lost. They glared at each other for days, weeks? The two snapped out of it soon enough and walked towards the others. "Well, this was a lovely evening. Thank you, again Marilla." Bash acknowledge as he and Mary walked out the door. Marilla went to wash the dishes, while Matthew went to the barn. Anne and Gilbert walked to the door, "Goodbye, Anne. I'll see you at school on Monday." Gilbert said at the door. Anne wave at him once he got to the gate and shut the door. 

That was a night to remember.
