O-M-G... was all Lizzie could think. She cocked her head at Gordo, as if asking him if it was ok. This was so awkward. After that kiss with Nate, their first, Lizzie's lips still burned. She hadn't expected to kiss him, but after what he said, she just felt it was the perfect time. He was such a good kisser, that kiss and this dare made her insides scream. She had always wondered what it would be like to kiss Gordo, she realized. WHAT?! Where did they come from? Whatever, she wouldn't let Kate beat her like that. Before the game even started she had told her self she would answer every question and do every single dare that they threw at her. She had to show Nate and everyone she was brave enough to do this kind of stuff and not wimp out on it. Without another second of hesitation she looked into Gordo's eyes. She felt her eyes distinctively flutter close. She leaned in and put her hand on the back of Gordo's neck. She felt him slide his hand hesitantly behind her back. Their lips touched. She could feel sparks flying through her body into his and vice versa. He was such a good kisser. Lizzie's thought her insides were screaming before, but now every part of her body didn't want to break the kiss. It was only a 5 second kiss, as instructed by Kate. But Lizzie enjoyed every moment of it. It wasn't even a French kiss, it was just a plain old kiss… but it felt so good. She pulled back and looked at Miranda. She knew she must be sooo red right about now. But she didn't care one bit. Miranda was looking at Lizzie in shock; she obviously didn't think she would go through with it. Well that proved them wrong. Lizzie took a glance at Gordo who was just staring straight at his hands. She laughed. It was just a game, no reason for everyone to be so upset. They played for a little while longer. It was Lizzie's turn to ask. She asked Miranda and Miranda picked dare. Lizzie of course dared Miranda to kiss Shane. It wasn't their first kiss but Lizzie new it meant a lot to Miranda all the same. Miranda told Kate to kiss Larry, to as she put it "relive your first kiss". That got a big laugh out of everyone and it was a pretty awkward kiss. It was Kate's turn once again, which made everyone very uneasy.
"Gordo, truth or dare?" Kate smirked once again.
Gordo picked truth. Lizzie figured he was afraid of what of question Kate would come up with this time.
"Ok Gordo was Lizzie a good kisser, and did you enjoy it?" Kate started smirking, once, again! Her stupid smirk was getting on Lizzie's nerves. But she wanted to see what Gordo would say.
"Well" Gordo started "She is an uh... good kisser, from my experience, I wouldn't say I am the best judge though and well I ..." Nate interrupted Gordo…
"Sorry Kate only one question..." Nate smiled imitating Kate's bitchy smile.
Lizzie realized this was the cue to leave. Noticing Nate shift uncomfortably. She stood up and gathered her stuff.
"Well you guys it's getting late." Lizzie said glancing at her watch. "I better get home, you coming Nate... Gordo you coming too?" Lizzie asked him, to see if he was going to walk her home, like usual. She got two nods. So the three of them said goodbye to the rest of the group who continued playing. Lizzie, Nate and Gordo walked out the door and towards Nate's house which was first on the way home. Lizzie left Gordo waiting on the sidewalk and walked with Nate up to his front stoop. Nate looked down at Lizzie and smiled nervously.
"Well that got pretty intense back there huh?" He asked "Lizzie there is something else I wanted to ask you before tomorrow night"
"What, what is it Nate?" Lizzie smiled up at him.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Nate asked her shyly, looking her dead on in the eye.
Lizzie didn't answer him, she just stood on her tiptoes put her hands behind his head and kissed him. He put his hands gently on her waist and deepened the kiss. After what felt like forever, Lizzie pulled away. She gave Nate a hug and told him goodbye. He said he would pick her up at her house around 6:30, since the dance started at 8:00 and they were going to Mac and Bob's for dinner before the dance. She walked down his driveway and to the sidewalk where Gordo was waiting.
They didn't say anything to each other that rest of the way home. Lizzie hoped the stupid game of truth or dare and that "stupid" kiss was not the cause of the silence. It was good to know he thought she was a good kisser though. It was useful information. Gordo walked Lizzie to her door. She gave him a hug, and then just stood there looking at him. He really was good looking, she noticed. How come I never noticed that before?
"Hey, pretty hot and heavy over there on Nate's porch huh?" Gordo asked her smirking. It was almost the same question Nate had asked her about 5 minutes ago.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend." Lizzie told him, not meeting his eyes.
"Wow... that's…uh... wow... cool" Gordo stammered.
What was wrong with him? Couldn't he be a little bit more excited for her? Lizzie just smirked, right back at Gordo.
"You're just jealous, have you ever even kissed a girl before without it being in a game?" Lizzie asked him boldly.
"No, not really, only at like party's and stuff, and I am not jealous. Well unless you count the girl in 7th grade who used me, I don't" Gordo protested, obviously embarrassed.
Lizzie liked putting him on the spot like that.
"I am surprised you have not kissed Charissa yet, since we both know how fast she moves." Lizzie told him.
"Hey, come on Lizzie, you don't really know her. And how do you know all that stuff isn't rumors." Gordo asked her.
"Well is it?" Lizzie asked him looking into his eyes. They were deep brown and incredibly sexy looking under the moonlight. Whoa... stop the train….since when did I leave Nate town? Lizzie thought. I like Nate, I do, and I know I do. He is absolutely perfect. So why am I seeing Gordo in a different light all of a sudden.
Gordo looked right back at her then down at his feet.
" Well I don't know if it isn't, but even if it isn't, I don't like her because of that and I didn't ask her out because of that, I asked her out because I like her personality and believe it or not, she is actually a pretty intellectual person" Gordo responded, looking her straight in the eyes .
"Oh, sorry, I never thought you asked her out for that reason. I was just asking if you knew if the stuff are rumors or not" Lizzie felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Gordo told her he had to go because he had to pick up his pants which were being tailored early tomorrow morning. He told her he would meet her at her house at 6:30 since her, Nate, Miranda, Shane, and Gordo and of course the infamous Charissa would be going together. She walked into her house and closed the door. She leaned up against the door and closed her eyes. Lizzie inhaled deeply. She had never felt this conflicted before. She had all the feelings inside her for Nate, and now after tonight, she realized she might have feelings for Gordo just aching to come out too…
