AN/ I'm back!!!!!!!!! Enjoy this chapter! D
Lizzie smiled as she finished her pancakes and omelet.
She took a big swallow of orange juice and pushed her chair back from the table, as she stood up with her plate and glass in hand.
"I'm done. Thanks, mom" she said giving her mom an extra tight squeeze as she was leaving the room.
She pounded up the stairs, skipping a few steps on her way to her room.
She grabbed her purple phone and punched in the number that was so familiar to her that she could dial without a glance at the buttons.
Lizzie contemplated pulling out the instruction booklet for her telephone and putting her best friend/new love interest, on speed dial.
Animated Lizzie:
How come I haven't done that before now?
"Hello." Gordo said into the phone.
Lizzie grinned at the sound of his voice, "Hey, Gordo. Sorry I had to get off so abruptly. My mom wanted help with breakfast."
"No problem. But, what were you saying before you got off?"
"Umm, 'duty calls?" she asked nervously.
She felt her hands turning clammy, as she comprehended what he was talking about.
"No, before that. You were saying how you didn't want to have Ethan under the mistletoe with you at your party. And you were about to tell me who you were hoping would be under it with you." Gordo said.
She could here the slight desperation in his voice.
"Umm…oh that! Forget that!" Lizzie said her insides feeling twisted as tears formed behind her eyes.
Animated Lizzie:
Why can't I just tell him? Tell him!
She opened her mouth to speak, but the words refused to leave her throat.
She could feel her mouth forming the words 'You, Gordo! You! I want to be under the mistletoe with you!
But still the words wouldn't come out.
"Lizzie, are you all right?" Gordo asked when he heard a small squeak coming from her end.
Lizze gave up on forming the words into audible sentences and closing her mouth, nodded her head.
"Lizzie?" Gordo was starting to get worried.
She suddenly realized that Gordo couldn't see her and put together a string of words, "I'm fine, Gordo. Really. I'm gonna go now. I'll talk to you later. Bye." She hung up without giving him a chance to reply.
But Gordo could hear the strains of tearful sadness in her voice and he hung up his phone and sighed.
There was something going with his best friend and he was going to find out what it was!
AN/ Hey, I know the length is so short and I'm sorry for that, but this is just kind of a chapter to get me back into my writing groove. I kind of fell out of it for a while, but I'm back on track and will try to give you another update, if not by tomorrow, then at least by Friday. So just a reminder, please keep your reviews clean and cussing free! Thanks! Have a great day and remember to SMILE! D
