Chapter Six
~*~Gordo~*~
He really wanted to kiss Lizzie when she left, but he knew that would be wrong. He would have also liked to come inside to talk to Matt and Mr. And Mrs. McGuire, but he supposed that he had a whole month ahead of him.
He was looking forward to the next day where he would see Lizzie again. He realized that there were some sparks left, but also that Lizzie was not using them. He still had time. He still wanted to marry her.
~~The Next Day~~
McGuire House
Lizzie: Thank you so much for doing this, Matt.
Matt: No problem. Jeremy and I are going to have fun. What time is Gordo going to meet you?
Lizzie: Oh, about that.Gordo called earlier and he is going to pick me up here. Luckily, Jeremy is sleeping, so when he comes, I will open the door before he rings the bell. Got it?
Matt: It seems to me like you are trying to hide Jeremy from him.
Lizzie: That is not true. I just don't want to rush into things.
Just then, she heard a car pull up. She opened the door. Matt crept up behind her as she stood at the door. Gordo exited the car and walked toward the door.
Gordo: Hey, Lizzie! Hey Matt! How is life?
Matt: Same as it was yesterday when we talked.
Lizzie nudged Matt.
Lizzie: You don't have to be rude.
Gordo: Oh, that's okay. I am used to it. Ready to go Lizzie?
Lizzie: Yep.
Gordo: Is Matt coming, too?
Lizzie: Matt? No. Why?
Gordo: Well why is he here?
Matt: Oh, I came by to pick something up from Lizzie. I will be leaving once I get it.
Gordo: Okay. Well, it was nice seeing you. I will see you later!
Matt: I hope.
Matt smiled, and went back inside the house. Gordo escorted Lizzie to the car, and led her to the passenger side, and opened the door for her.
Lizzie: Sorry about Matt.
Gordo: Oh, that's okay. He hasn't changed much, has he?
Lizzie: Actually he is a very nice person when he wants to be.
Gordo: He-he. Aren't we all?
Lizzie: I guess.
Gordo: Well I suppose Miranda will be surprised to see us together as friends again.
Shot. Lizzie forgot to call Miranda and tell her she wasn't bringing Jeremy.
Lizzie: You didn't call her to tell her?
Gordo: Well, no. I figured she would enjoy the surprise.
Lizzie: She could go into labor any minute!
Gordo: Sorry! Geeze! At least we would be there with her all the way.
"Or until 2:30," Lizzie thought.
They reached the Long's (Josh and Miranda's last name) house ten minutes later. Lizzie let herself out of the care, and hurried inside to see Miranda.
Gordo: Hold on, we can go in together.
Lizzie: I am so excited. I cannot believe Miranda is going to be a mother!
Gordo: Neither can I.
Lizzie walked ahead of Gordo, and the door was open, so she let herself in, followed by Gordo. Lizzie found a very pregnant Miranda on the couch, and when she saw Lizzie, she did not even try to get up.
Miranda: Lizzie! Where is.
Just then, Miranda saw Gordo. She looked like she was about to faint.
Miranda: Gordo! What a surprise! How did this happen?
Lizzie: Well, Gordo ran into Matt yesterday, and so we had dinner together last night, and we decided we would visit you together.
Miranda looked at Lizzie curiously. Lizzie shook her head, and Miranda seemingly understood.
Miranda: Neat! (Yelling to Josh who was in another room) Josh, honey, Lizzie and Gordo are here!
Josh: Together?
Miranda: Yep.
Josh walked into the room with a wrapped present in his hand. It was wrapped wrapping paper with dinosaur print.
Josh: This is for.
Miranda interrupted.
Miranda: This gift is for you, Lizzie. Happy Birthday.
Josh looked at Miranda, and wished he never brought the present in because the look Miranda gave him made him realize that Gordo did not know he was a father. Meanwhile, Gordo looked at everyone like they were nuts.
Lizzie: Thank you.
Gordo: Don't you think that wrapping paper is a little juvenile?
Miranda: Sorry, it was the only wrapping paper I had.
Lizzie: It is fine. Thank you.
Gordo: (jokingly) Hey! What about my birthday?
That comment drew in a nervous laugh from everyone.
Lizzie, Miranda, Gordo, and Josh talked for a long time about life and what was going on in everyone's life. They had a good time, and before she knew it, she realized she was running late, and had five minutes before Matt was going to be mad.
Lizzie: Miranda, I am so sorry but I have to go. I will definitely call you soon, though.
Gordo looked at Lizzie, and then got up from where he was sitting.
Gordo: I guess that means I have to go, too. I am your ride home.
Lizzie: Sorry.
Miranda: Well, I will call you tonight.
Lizzie: Okay! Bye!
Gordo: Bye!
Josh and Miranda: Bye!
Lizzie ran to the car, and Gordo followed.
Gordo: What is the rush?
Lizzie: I promised someone I would meet him at 2:30 that is all.
Gordo: Oh.
"Does she have a date?" Gordo thought.
Just then Lizzie's cell phone rang. She looked at the screen, and saw it was Matt.
Lizzie: Hey! Sorry I know I am running late. I am on my way home.
(Gordo cannot hear Matt on the other line)
Matt: Well, just hurry up. What took you so long?
Lizzie: I was talking to Miranda and Josh. (Sarcastically) Remember them?
Matt: Ha-ha very funny.
Lizzie: Listen, I will see you in a few. Thank you so much!
Matt: You are welcome, get home!
Lizzie hung up the phone.
Gordo: Who was that?
Lizzie: Matt.
She said that without thinking.
Gordo looked at her skeptically.
Gordo: Is he still at your house?
Lizzie: No, why?
Gordo: Well you said you would see him in a few.
Lizzie: Were you listening to the conversation?
Gordo: Maybe. It is kind of hard not to in a car with two people.
Lizzie: Fine.
Gordo pulled up to the house. He started to get out.
Lizzie: What are you doing?
Gordo: Can I come in? I want to talk to you.
Lizzie: Can it wait? I said I have to meet someone.
Gordo: Fine. I will call you later today.
Lizzie: Okay. Bye!
Lizzie ran to the door, and five seconds later Gordo saw Matt come out and get into his own car.
"Lizzie is trying to hide something from me," He thought.
Gordo started to drive to his house. Halfway there, he realized that Lizzie left her birthday gift in the car. It was still wrapped. Gordo figured he would see her and give it to her then.
When Gordo came home, he took the gift inside, and could not help but wonder what it was. It might give him a clue as to what is going on. The temptation got the better of him, and he decided to see what it was. "Her birthday is not for another eight months," He thought to himself.
Gordo carefully unwrapped the present, and inside was a box. He looked at the box, and contemplated whether or not he should open the box. He decided he would. He slowly opened the box, only to find that inside the box was a silver double picture frame. He then saw that there were two pictures already inserted into the frame. The first one was a baby girl. Right away, Gordo recognized the picture. It was a picture of Lizzie. The next picture was of a baby boy. He didn't recognize the baby, but he thought he looked familiar. "Hmm. It must be Miranda in a picture that looks like a boy," Gordo thought. He carefully wrapped the present back up in the same paper, and put it in a safe place.
~~Lizzie's House~~
Lizzie: Hey Jeremy! How was Uncle Matt?
Jeremy: Matt is my friend.
Lizzie: Really? Cool! What did you do?
Jeremy: Bambi!
Lizzie: You watched Bambi? Cool!
Just then, the phone rang. It was Jo McGuire.
Jo: Hey, Lizzie! How was your day? Did you see Miranda?
Lizzie: Yes, I did.
Jo: Listen, do you have any plans for Jeremy tonight?
Lizzie: No, I guess we were going to watch a movie or something together.
Jo: Well, can I borrow him for the evening? A friend of mine is having a get together, and her grandson, who is four, will be there. I thought it might be fun if they met each other.
Lizzie: Okay, sure that sounds great!
Jo: Thank you so much! I will pick him up at six and the party should be over by eleven. Daddy is coming with me.
Lizzie: That sounds fine!
She hung up the phone.
Lizzie: I sure haven't seen you in a long time, Jeremy! We will talk later, okay?
Jeremy nodded. He was eating goldfish out of a plastic bag.
Six rolled around, and Jo took Jeremy for the night. Lizzie fixed herself a frozen dinner and was about to get comfortable on the couch to watch some TV, when the doorbell rang.
Lizzie: Coming! (Yelled)
Lizzie got up and walked to the door and answered it. On the other side was Gordo.
Lizzie: Gordo! What a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here?
Gordo held out the present.
Gordo: You left this in the car.
Lizzie: Oh! Thanks! Here, why don't you come in?
Gordo walked in and closed the door behind him.
Gordo: Where is everyone?
Lizzie: They went out for the evening.
Gordo: What were you planning on doing tonight?
Lizzie: Well, I was about to watch a DVD. You are welcome to join me.
Gordo: Sure. What were you planning on watching?
Lizzie: I don't know. You can help me pick it out. I am going to pop some popcorn. Just go into the living room and start looking at what you think you want to watch.
Gordo: Okay.
Gordo walked into the living room and looked at the selections. He found it odd that most of the DVD's were Disney movies, but he finally found one he thought would be good, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." He opened the DVD player, and saw that "Bambi" was in the machine. "Weird," he thought to himself. "Very weird."
Gordo: Lizzie! The movie is ready!
Lizzie walked into the living room and sat next to Gordo.
Lizzie: The Temple of Doom. I haven't seen that in a while.
Gordo: I know. You were too busy watching Bambi.
Lizzie laughed nervously.
Gordo was having a lot of trouble concentrating on the movie, and so was Lizzie. Lizzie looked over at Gordo a few times, and when he looked at her, she turned away.
One time, they caught eye contact, and instead of looking away, Gordo started to lean in, and slowly he went to kiss her. Lizzie knew she should not, but something about him made her want to kiss him, so she kissed him back. When they broke apart, it was because Lizzie did not think it was right.
Gordo: Sorry. I could not resist. You just look wonderful and you haven't changed at all since I saw you six years ago.
Lizzie smiled.
Lizzie: Its not that, its just that I..
Their eyes contacted each other again. Lizzie looked deeply into his blue eyes, and couldn't resist from stopping. She leaned in and kissed him, and he kissed back.
"The sparks are still there," he thought. "Should I take things farther or should I live by the moment? I am not sure I remember how to do this anymore. I haven't kissed anyone in four years, let alone had sex. Is this right, or is this too early?" All these things were going through Gordo's head while he was kissing her.
"Do I want to do this?" Lizzie thought. "He doesn't know about Jeremy, and before we restart a relationship, I think he should at least know about Jeremy. Maybe I should not let him do anything except kiss me. We haven't even been on a date. Maybe I should just see what he does."
They were making out for several minutes, and Gordo was slowly guiding his hand up her shirt, when all of the sudden, the phone started to ring.
Lizzie snapped out of her perfect world and got up to answer the phone.
Lizzie: Hello?
It was Miranda.
Lizzie: Hey, can I call you back? I am busy right now. He is fine. I will call you back. Bye!
Lizzie came back into the living room and sat down. Gordo turned off the TV while she was away. Gordo smiled.
Gordo: Now where were we?
He leaned in as if he was going to kiss her, but Lizzie pulled away.
Lizzie: I do not think this is such a good idea, Gordo. Maybe you should leave.
Gordo looked hurt, but he could tell that she was no longer in the mood for romance.
Gordo: Are you sure?
Lizzie: Positive.
Gordo: Okay. Can we go out tomorrow?
The next day was Jeremy's birthday.
Lizzie: You better not. I will call you soon though.
Lizzie led Gordo out the door, and as soon as she left, she started to cry. She wanted Gordo so much now, but she knew that she shouldn't get emotionally attached to him if he didn't know the truth.
~Gordo~
Gordo walked out the door. He was disappointed and wanted to talk to Lizzie. He knew Lizzie was hiding something, but he wasn't sure what. "She must be dating someone seriously, and the baby in the picture is him," He thought. "I will get to the bottom of this."
