Dreaming Of You

~Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star that, somewhere, you are

Thinking of me, too~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lizzie flipped through her 8th grade yearbook, savoring the memories. She looked at the picture of her, Miranda, and Gordo and smiled. She just wished that Miranda was here now to help her sort through her feelings for Gordo.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gordo. Anytime his name was mentioned, or she saw him, or she even talked to him, fantasies of the two of them together would come into her head. She wanted to be woth him more than anything. She would give anything to feel his lips on hers, to hear him tell her he loves her. The shrill ring of the telephone brought her out of her daydream.

"Hello?" Lizzie answered.

"Hey Lizzie--it's me," came the reply.

"Gordo! Hey!" Lizze started getting nervous. 'Should I tell him?' she thought.

"Umm....Lizzie...can I come over?" Gordo asked. "I really need to talk to you."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Wonder if you ever see me, and I

Wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes, would you see what's inside?

Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close; but, so far

All I have are dreams of you

So I wait for the day and the courage to say

How much I love you

Yes, I do~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ummm.....sure Gordo," Lizze replied.

"Ok, I'll be there in five minutes," Gordo replied.

"Ok, bye."

"Bye," Gordo hung up, nervous. Was he about to do the right thing?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The doorbell rang, shaking Lizzie from her thoughts. 'What's so important?' she wondered. A minute later, Gordo appeared at her bedroom door. They locked eyes, and no words were spoken. Within that instant, they knew what the other was feeling. Gordo walked over to where she was standing and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, slowly bringing him closer to her. They stared into one another's eyes for another second until Gordo broke their trance with a passionate kiss. When they finally broke away, Gordo looked at Lizzie, his eyes dancing.

"I love you," he whispered, his eyes never leaving hers. Her smile got bigger as she heard what she had always wanted to hear.

"I love you, too."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I still can't believe that you came up to me

And said, "I love you."

I love you, too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight

Til tomorrow and for all of my life

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly~
