Thanks to all who reviewed!!! I don't even know what Gordo will get Lizzie
yet so I'll just come up with it when I write it. Enough of my useless
chatter....Oh, here comes the disclaimer...
Disclaimer: I own nothing I tell you! Nothing! I'm innocent!
Gordo
Oh jeez, what will I get her? It has to be something nice, something that shows how much I care for her. Well, I really care about her. Maybe I'll get Miranda to help me or something. I went upstairs to Miranda's room and lightly tapped her. "Gordo! What the hell?" she said sitting up. "I need to talk to you." I said sitting on the bed. " At five in the morning? Can't it wait? I was having a Brad Pitt fantasy." she said. "Ok, I'm going to pretend like I didn't hear that and explain what's going on." I said. "Ok, but if it's not important, you are dead." she said, fully awake now. "Ok, I haven't gotten Lizzie anything for Christmas and I need your help to pick out the perfect present." I mumbled slowly. " David Zephyr Gordon! Is that what you woke me up for? That is the sweetest most romantic thing I've ever heard!" she squealed. "Wow, thanks Miranda. So, what time do you want to get up so we can go get the present?" I asked fully relieved. "Who said anything about going in the morning? We can go right now." she said. "What? All the stores are closed." I said. "Well, I have connections. Besides, you get first grabs at getting things." she said. "Connections? Ok...um well then...let's go." I said, slightly confused.
* Half an hour later, Gordo's POV*
"Ok, here's what I'm thinking. You can get her a promise ring." Miranda said, while we were in the car. "How the hell are we going to get jewelry at this time of night? We aren't going to...you wouldn't.." " steal it? Hell no! I'm not that bad!" she said, finishing my sentence. "Remember my cousin Carlos? Well, he works at this jewelry store now. He owes me because I bailed him out of jail when he well, when he beat up the host of that lottery thing because he didn't win." Miranda said. About an hour later, we were there and I was picking out a ring. I found the perfect one. It had a heart and a key, kind of saying "you're the key to my heart" or something. I got our intitials carved into it and we left. By the time we got back, it was 7:30. Lizzie was awake and she looked very worried. Her parents had taken Matt and Lanny to soccer practice, so she was all by herself. She got up and ran up to us as we walked in. "Where were you guys?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips. "We were um...we...we" I couldn't tell her the truth without telling her that I had forgotten her present. Lizzie's eyes got huge when she thought she knew what happened. She ran and sat on the couch. "Where were you guys? You two weren't...ya know, were you?" she asked, a single tear streaming down her cheek. "NO, of course not! I'm with Ethan and you're with Gordo! We would never ever do that to you!" Miranda started screaming. "Well then, where were you? I want the total truth." she asked, sobbing uncontrollably. I walked up to her, touched her arm and said, " I wouldn't do that to you, Liz. I love you too much. You'll find out when we exchange our gifts, ok?" I asked her as she stopped crying. "Ok, it better be a good excuse." she said, giving me a hug. About six hours later, Miranda wrapped my present for Lizzie and gave it back to me. Lizzie was helping her mom fix dinner. My parents were going to get home pretty late because their plane got delayed so I was staying at Lizzie's house again. Miranda went downstairs to watch TV and I soon followed. Matt came down to join us and he started staring at Miranda really weird. I watched for a minute or two, when it hit me. He had a crush on her...again. I HAD to tell Lizzie. I got up and went to the kitchen. "Hey Liz, can I talk to you for a second.?" I asked as her mom eyed me suspiciously. "Um...ok sure." she said also unsure of what I would tell her. I led her to the living room to show her. She still didn't get it. I pulled her aside so Miranda and Matt couldn't hear. Our conversation went like this: L: So, what about that? They're just watching tv G: Oh...didn't you see the way Matt was looking at a certain someone? L: Wait...he doesn't...he...likes Miranda? G: bingo L: OMG! NO way! He likes my best friend? HAHA! I am soooo going to tease him. G: OK...so, you don't hate me about this morning?
L: Oh yeah that...well, you said you have a good excuse so I guess I don't hate you...yet. G: don't worry, you won't. I went to sit down again when Miranda got up. "Hey Gordo, tell Lizzie that I went to see Ethan, ok?" Miranda said, putting on her coat and scarf. I looked over at Matt who looked really, really jealous. *That guy is sooo jealous* I went to the kitchen to tell Lizzie.
*Miranda's POV*
I was driving to Ethan's house, hoping to surprise him. He had given me a key to his apartment so I went right up. I walked in and saw the worst thing I thought could happen. Ethan was making out with Kate. "What the fuck, Ethan? Why are you-WHAT THE HELL?" I screamed. "Miranda, uh-it's not what it looks like...um, Kate had something on her face and I was trying to get it off." "With your lips you asshole? Whatever, I'm out of here, oh and this relationship is OVER" I screamed while I ran out the door. I heard footsteps scrambling behind me. It was Kate. "Listen Miranda, I'm so sorry. Ethan had said that you two had broken up." she said. "He did what?" I asked calmly. "Yeah, and I broke up with him. I didn't know he was such a bastard." she said. "Well, anyways, I wanted to ask you and Lizzie and Gordo, but I'll tell you now. I was wondering if we could all be friends again." she said, while wiping away a tear from her eye. I could tell that she was serious. "Well...um...I guess I forgive you, but I can't speak for Lizzie and Gordo." I said while getting into my jeep. "Um, Miranda thank you! Oh...can I have a ride? Ethan drove me here." she said while leaning into the car. I let her in and we went back to Lizzie's house. When Lizzie saw who was with me, she grabbed my arm and pulled me away. "What is SHE doing here?" she asked. I told her the whole story and she gasped a few times and she gave me a hug. She forgave Kate and told Gordo, who unwillingly at first, did the same. I told Gordo to get his present for Lizzie. We were all sitting down, exchanging gifts, while Kate watched with tears in her eyes. I walked over to her. "I'm sorry we don't have anything for you, but well...we did just make up , ya know?" I told her. "No, it's not that, it's just that I forgot what good friends you were and I was really stupid for giving it all up for popularity." she stated. "Yeah, I know and we forgive you." I said while walking back to everyone.
* Gordo's POV*
After everyone exchanged gifts, Matt and Miranda and Kate were helping put everything out, as I lead Lizzie outside to give her the ring. "Ok, you said you had a great excuse for getting in with 3:00am." Lizzie said, sitting down on the swing. I sat next to her. "Yeah, I do...this." I said, getting out the box. She opened it and she had tears streaming down her cheeks. "You got me...a ring. It's beautiful." she said, giving me a hug. We then leaned in and kissed. It was a soft kiss that grew passionate. We got stopped when Jo told us that dinner was ready.
*Lizzie's POV* After everyone had gone home except for Gordo, who was staying again, I was about to go to bed when my mom stopped me. "So, why did you and Gordo go outside before dinner?" she asked me, sitting me down on the couch. "He was just giving me my present." I explained. "Well, what did he get you? Where is it?" she asked impatiently. I showed it to her. "Oh honey. Wow. That's so sweet. How nice...wow." Jo was at a loss of words. She went upstairs but before she got up she said, "He's a keeper, Lizzie." I smiled to myself as Matt came down. "She's right, ya know." he said. He went back upstairs. "Yeah...he sure is." I said to myself while going upstairs.
