Gordo's POV
Sweat was pouring down my face. My arms were getting heavy, but I kept puching. Jab, right hook, left hook, upercut, over and over. I was inturupted by the ring of the phone. I made my way out of the garage/gym. I had made it after I got fed up with being so skinny. I answered it. It was Miranda."Where the hell are you?! You were supposed to be here a half hour ago." I had totally lost track of time. Today Miranda, Lizzie and I were leaving to go stay at my uncle's beach house for a week. "Sorry, I'm leaving right now." I ran in to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I was done I went into my room. I got dressed in some old jeans and a baggy black long sleeved shirt. I grabbed my suitcase and the cooler and loaded them into my car. Then I headed out to pick up Lizzie and Miranda. I had been thinking about Lizzie a lot lately. I badly wanted to be with her, but was afraid of what sould happen if she didn't feel the same way. It could result in the end of a 16 year friendship. I was hoping that this week would help me figure it all out.
I pulled into Miranda's driveway. I walked up and knocked on the door. Miranda answered. She was dressed in a black tanktop and and short jean shorts." Hi Gordo." she said giving me a hug. She seemed to be in a good mood. I figured she was just excited about the trip."Can you help me with these bags?" She had four suitcases. "You know were only going camping for a week." I said jokingly. She let out a small laugh and walked out to the car with the smallest suitcase. I grabbed the other three. We loaded them into the car and headed towards Lizzie's house.
When we got to Lizzie's house Miranda and I both went up and knocked on her door. She answered in her pink bathrobe."I just need to get dressed and then I'll be ready." she said. "You guys can wait down here." Miranda and I went into the living room while Lizzie went up to her room. We sat down on the couch. Miranda kept looking at me like she had something she wanted to say. "What is it?" I eventually said. "Gordo......I.....have you ever....." She stopped and just looked at me. I tried to read her face. Then she leaned over and kissed me. I didn't know if I should stop it or just go with it. Before I could do anything I heard Lizzie coming downstairs and Miranda jumped off me. I didn't know what to do. I looked over at Lizzie. She hadn't seen us. Then I looked at Miranda. She gave me a quick smile then looked at lizzie and said," Are you ready?" "Yeah, can you help me with my bags Gordo?" I got up and picked up her bags without saying anything. I was still thinking about Miranda. We headed out to the car. I tried to forget about it for now. Afterall, I was supposed to be thinking about Lizzie.
On the drive to the beach Lizzie rode in front and Miranda sat in the back. Lizzie had put in some pop cd, and was singing along with it. I kept looking back at Miranda in my mirror. She was looking out the window. We got to the beach house late that night. It had five bedrooms and four bathrooms. It was right on the on the beach. In the garage I found some seadoos. We unloaded the car and got settled in. I needed to find a way to get alone with Miranda so we could talk. "I'm gonna run to the store and get some food. Do you guys want to come?" I said. "Yeah. I'll come." Miranda said with a smile. "I think I'll stay here and go to sleep." Lizzie said with a yawn. She was so beautiful.
Before going to the store we decided to stop and go for a walk on the beach. It was a very romantic setting. The beach was being lit by the moonlight. I looked at Miranda. Over the last few years she had grown into a woman. Her hair was blowing in the wind. She looked at me. "Gordo, I'm sorry about today. I just couldn't go another day without letting you know that I had feelings for you." Her eyes were so beautiful. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. I couldn't tell her that it was Lizzie I wanted and not her. After all she was still my best friend. Instead I just put my arm around her and gave her a kiss. She looked at me and smiled. I would have to tell her some other time. Right now she was to happy, and I didn't want to ruin this perfect moment.
