Chapter 2
"So what do you want to do?" Lizzie asked me.
"Oh, um," I stuttered. I don't know how about kiss you. I'm not sure, what sounds like fun to you?"
"I heard there is a documentary on," Lizzie suggested. "I know how much you like those." There's Lizzie for you, always trying to please people.
"Ok, sounds good to me," I said. She walked into the kitchen to make popcorn and I went and sat on the couch. Once the popcorn was doe she brought it over in a big green bowl. She positioned herself on the couch next to me and turned on the tv. Switching it to the right channel, we found out it didn't start for another half an hour.
"Oh well, we'll just have to wait," she said.
"Yeah, I guess so," I agreed. Just at that moment we saw a flash of lightning and heard thunder rolling above. Soon after, we heard a light pattering on the roof. Soon it began raining furiously. The rain got so violent, it knocked down the power line and the lights and tv flickered, then turned off. Lizzie's eyes widened. "Great, this is just perfect. The night I get home, a summer storm hits and knocks at the power," I said to the dark.
"Well, I guess we should get a couple candles and a flashlight," Lizzie said.
"God idea," I said decidedly. "I'll go get them. You stay here I'll be right back." Walking out of the room I thought, this is just what I need. It was hard enough not to do anything stupid with the power, but now, the lights are off and we're lighting candles. Wonderful. I gathered the candles, matches, and flashlights bumping into everything as I went. I walked back into the living room and sat down next to Lizzie again. I attempted to strike a match but to no avail, I was shaking and not from being cold. Eventually, I did light it. I turned and looked at Lizzie, she was s beautiful.
"Uh, Gordo… why are you looking at me like that?" Lizzie said sounding nervous.
"Looking at you like what?"
"Like that," she said sounding even more so. I looked away. "Gordo, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," I said, noticing how stunning she appeared with the candlelight flickering on her skin. "Okay, there is something," I said giving in.
"What is it Gordo?" she wasn't sounding nervous anymore, just worried about me.
"I, I was just noticing how amazingly attractive you are." Stupid Gordo!
"What?" Lizzie said taken aback. "Gordo, hold on. I thought you said you didn't like me that way."
"Do you still like me?" Wait a minute! Just stop talking before you wreck a friendship, my mind screeched at me.
"Yeah, I do," she said looking down and blushing.
"Well, see over the summer I…" I said trailing off. "Over the summer I found out I really do like you," I said my secrecy coming undone.
She smiled and leaned in. Then she whispered, "let's do something about it." Our lips met and electricity shooting through me.
"Wow," I breathed.
"Definitely wow," she agreed.
TBC, I repeat TBC! This is not the end yet. There is much more to come!
