I, David Gordon

Chapter 4

aha, now here we go...

DISCLAIMER- I own diddly-squat, but thanks for the reviews...

A/N- sorry this took so long, I've been under alot of stress lately.

Gordo walked into the Digital Bean, where he was meeting Miranda... she wasn't there yet. He wondered where she could be. He took a seat at a three seater table, mostly out of pure habit.

A giggle came from across the room, a familiar giggle.

"Ethan, you are so funny!" It was Lizzie. He was on the verge of walking up to meet them, when suddenly.... lip-lock attack! Ach! They knew HOW TO KISS?!

"Gordo," he told himself, "Don't be so naive, they've been dating for the past two months... of course they can kiss." He went around the corner and put his back against it, "What's wrong with me? This is LIZZIE! I've known her all my life! And I cannot be jealous of Ethan Craft! It's just... not right."

"Hey Gordo." Miranda. Thank God! Just the person he needed to talk to!

"Miranda! We need to talk."

"What are we?" she mused, "Breaking up?"

"I'm being serious!"

"Oh okay, come on, we'll take a seat." She sort of grimaced. A Gordo talk could mean anything, and probably something that she couldn't handle.

"It's about Lizzie," he said almost whispering, "I think I'm jealous of Ethan Craft."

"WHAT?!"

"Sh!"

"Sorry..."

"I saw them kissing, and then, there was this feeling, like, my heart was sinking lower and lower, and then fell through my feet and shattered on the floor... it was really embarrassing too. I think I started talking to myself..."

"Yeah. you did." She smiled. Her smile, Gordo thought, quite randomly, was even more beautiful than Lizzie's... 'snap out of it Gordo! No! no! don't lean in!' his conscience screamed, but suddenly, he wasn't thinking about Lizzie, or how beautiful she was, it was just him and Miranda, and Lizzie had left them over a month ago... then he realized that their lips were touching... 'Gordo! Stop it!' screamed the annoying conscience, once again, 'No...' he thought, 'I think I like this alot more than Lizzie... Whoa! what was that? wait! Was that her tongue? Ugh... no, er... this is kinda nice, I've never done this before...' He slowly slid his own tongue into her mouth also... 'Odd sensation,' he thought, 'yet nice.'

"Gordo! Miranda!" Lizzie's soprano voice suddenly broke up what would be classified as 'a makeout session' had it lasted any longer, "WHAT are you DOING?!" She asked shrilly, the entire Digital Bean went silent.

Miranda pushed her hair behind her ear... "Kissing I guess."

"Well, I saw that." Lizzie said coldly.

"Lizzie, we're entitled to have some romance in our lives also!" Gordo shouted, 'Whoops, that one slipped out didn't it?' his conscience mused, 'I told you not to, but did you listen?'

Miranda looked absolutely horrified, got up, and ran out. Lizzie did so also. Gordo was left alone, after his strange ten minutes in the Digital Bean.

Gordo picked up his phone and quickly dialed Miranda Sanchez's number.

Ring, Ring, "Hello?"

"Hello, Mrs. Sanchez? It's Gordo, Can I speak to Miranda?"

"Yes, hold on..."

"What do you want?" Came Miranda's voice over the phone.

"I want to say I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Kissing you."

"Oh. That. Why are you sorry?"

"Because... it got Lizzie mad at you?" He offered, actually, he DID wonder why he'd apologized for it, he had actually enjoyed it.

"Yeah, I called her, she said she's okay with it, but I think she's mad at you more."

"Why?" He asked, appalled.

"Because you started it."

"Well, you didn't exactly jump back." Hitting himself on the head, he expected a snappy answer or a 'click' from the other side, but only giggling.

"Yeah, well, why should I?"

"Because we're friends and you want it to stay that way?"

"What if I don't want it to stay that way? You know, I started the whole... tongue thing."

"Yeah. you did. new sensation for me."

She laughed, "You wouldn't mind if I did it again would you?"

"No... Actually, I would love if you did it again." Suddenly he forgot all about being jealous of Ethan Craft and Lizzie, this was a new feeling for him, someone liked him for him. I mean, he and Claire had dated, but he had always had the sneaking suspicion that she only needed help in science.

"Well, maybe I'll meet you later? At the Digital Bean?"

"Yeah. Five minutes okay?" She laughed again.

"I need to get dressed Gordo. An hour. See you then."

Click.

He sighed. Miranda? He hadn't even thought about it before, she was pretty, and nice, and he HAD had a crush on her a while back.

Click.

and off he went.

***

News travelled fast that Miranda and Gordo were dating now. Lizzie was still pissed at Gordo a bit, but she seemed to be civil about it. Gordo HAD noticed that she and Ethan made out alot more in front of him lately however. It was sorta like revenge, he supposed though.

A/N- I'm done for now. haha, weren't expecting that were you?
