I arrived at Gordo's apartment about an hour after we hung up the phone. I
felt like I had just walked over one hundred blocks, seeing as I didn't
have enough to pay for a taxi. The entire way there I was thinking of
different schemes to get Gordo back, and take him away from that vicious
Kate. He knew he was supposed to be with me, he just didn't want to admit
it. When I got there I probably looked terrible, but I was so excited at
the thought of seeing him again that I didn't care.
The doorman buzzed me in and I went up to his 12th floor apartment. I knocked on the door and the door was opened by a woman who looked familiar.
"Lizzie! Oh my GOD you look soo gorgeous! Please, come in! I'm sure you're excited to see David after all these years!"
All I could do was stare at her very pregnant belly."Yeah..um..uh..con- congratulations," I stammered wisely.
Kate looked confused and then suddenly patted her stomach. "Thank you! It's twins! I think that it's a girl and a boy but David is convinced that it is two girls. I'm not sure though. Please, please come in let's get you all set up on the couch bed."
I had so many questions I wanted to ask. Like why did Gordo marry Kate? Why was Kate being so nice to me? Why did she keep calling Gordo David? Well, I kind of knew the answer to that question but the name still sounded foreign to me.
But before any of these questions were answered I was unpacking my things, looking through wedding albums, and helping to prepare drinks when Gordo came in.
"Sorry, honey, filming ran overtime today!" He walked over and kissed Kate on the cheek and turned to look at me. "Lizzie."
"Hey, Gordo." I walked over and awkwardly stood there and then suddenly gave him a hug. Kate apparently had given up her jealous nature and instead put her hands over her heart.
"I love seeing old friends reunite!" She said. "It's sad we weren't all friends in highschool, though!" I turned and looked at her like she was insane but then I remembered that this woman had married my best friend, was about to give birth to his children, and was providing me with a home until I got on my feet so I just smiled and nodded.
Later that night, as I got into the hot shower for the first time in about 3 days, I started thinking about how my plans were never going to work. After eating dinner and looking at wedding albums and not to mention Kate's tummy, I knew that Gordo and Kate were somehow happy together.
Slowly I sat down in the shower and put my head to my knees. I don't know whether it was tears or water that ran down my face at that point but I'm sure that it was at least a little of both.
