-1Sorry it's taken me so long to get the next chapter up! Hope you enjoy.

Recap: Lizzie has been grounded for the summer after her escapade in Rome. Gordo finally admitted his feelings to Lizzie and she told him she liked him too. They started going out, even though Lizzie couldn't leave the house Gordo still made the effort to come and see her. After a misunderstanding Lizzie and Gordo split up but eventually kissed and made up after Lizzie publicly declared she loved Gordo and she'd stuffed up. On returning home Lizzie found her parents and Matt out of town and a note telling her she was staying at Gordo's. Lizzie and Gordo spent the evening playing games and just spending time with each other. They broke and vase and cleaned up the bits.

Gordo and Lizzie flopped down on the sofa after they had finished clearing up the vase.

"So I guess no more of that game then?" Lizzie said smiling.

"No, I think it's safer if we don't. Anyway what do you want to do now?" Gordo asked playing with a curl of his hair.

"Internet? I want to see if Miranda's online. I haven't talked to her in ages!" Lizzie said, standing up.

Gordo nodded in agreement and stood up and followed her up to her room. Lizzie switched on her computer. As it loaded she pulled over another chair for Gordo. She logged onto her messenger and smiled as she saw Miranda was online.

Lizzie: Heya Miranda!

Miranda: Lizzie! How are you I haven't spoken to you in AGES! I'm getting so bored here without you and Gordo.

Lizzie: I'm great thanks. We're pretty bored here too.

Gordo playfully hit Lizzie on the arm.

"Well sorry, if I'm too boring for you!" Gordo said.

Miranda: So how's Gordo?

Lizzie: He's great! I think…well he's in a huff with me actually. He's here too. Because I said we were bored he's in a huff cause he's taking it personally.

Miranda has sent you an invitation to start a video message.

You have accepted the invitation.

Lizzie grinned as her best friend appeared on the screen. Miranda too smiled as she saw Gordo and Lizzie appear.

"Stop huffing with Lizzie, Gordo!" Miranda said, trying to be stern but laughing.

"Ok, ok. I'm not in a huff anymore. She just hurt my feelings. I felt she was implying that I was boring." Gordo said unfolding his arms.

"I didn't mean that, silly." Lizzie said laughing.

"Anyway we have to go, my mother should be here soon." Gordo said, looking at his watch.

"Why, where are you too going at like…11 o'clock?" Miranda asked.

"My house. Lizzie's staying over." Gordo said, moving his head from view on the web cam so he could wink at Lizzie.

Lizzie and Gordo burst out laughing as they watched Miranda's face drop.

"Calm down Miranda. I'm staying over because my parents are out of town and Mrs Gordon very kindly offered me her spare room." Lizzie said.

"Ohhhh." Miranda said smirking.

After they had said their goodbyes, Lizzie switched off the computer.

"Gordo, you do realise it's 10.30 and your mom won't be here for like…." Lizzie said.

"….30 minutes. I know. I just wanted you to myself for a bit. I have to tell you something." Gordo said, taking Lizzie by the hand and pulling her gently over to her bed.

"What is it?" Lizzie asked.

Gordo looked at his hands.

"It's pretty serious, so prepare yourself." Gordo said, twisting a curl of his hair.

Oh no, he's dumping me. thought Lizzie to herself.
