"Hi Lizzie" Miranda greeted her... "I was getting worried, you weren't coming."
Lizzie glanced at her watch. "Miranda, I am only 5 minutes late" She told her friend as they walked arm in arm into the carnival. Lizzie spotted him before Miranda had. Shane, waved Miranda over, obviously, Nate hadn't told him. Miranda hesitated, and then looked at Lizzie. Lizzie nodded at her and Miranda started walking over to Shane. "Are you coming?" She asked.
"Nah, I think I'll walk around a little and take in the rest of the carnival, I'll catch up with you later ok?" She waved goodbye at Miranda and headed off towards the rides. She needed to do something fast to get her mind off of Nate, and Gordo. She knew she had made a clear mistake by not dumping Nate immediately for Gordo. She had tried to deny to herself how much she had liked kissing him, and being held in his arms. When he had kissed her it felt like she would collapse. She liked that feeling, as strangely as that sounded. She knew Gordo was here somewhere, she had heard him telling his other friends, and he would be here. He's here somewhere Lizzie. She walked past the dunking booth, and saw Principal Green sitting there, egging on students to hit the target. Lizzie walked slowly up to the booth, and gave the tender a dollar in exchange for 1 ball. She aimed for Mrs. Green and BAM. Lizzie smiled and jumped up and down.
"Nice shot Elizabeth" Mrs. Green commented, shaking her head to get the water out of her ears.
Lizzie just smiled and walked on. So this is what it feels like to be alone, I better get used to it. Lizzie thought sadly. She felt a tap on her back and turned around.
"I was hoping you would be here…" Gordo said shyly. Lizzie could only smile. "How long have you been here?" He asked her, not breaking eye contact.
Lizzie smiled at him and looked into his eyes. "I got here with Miranda about a half hour ago... and well she went off with Shane."
"Oh, well," Gordo started. "Its getting dark, I think it's about time for the usual right?"
Lizzie knew what Gordo was referring to. Ever since they were little Gordo and Lizzie had rode the Ferris wheel at every carnival, when it started getting dark. It was a tradition, Lizzie was glad they didn't break the tradition because of the recent events.
" Stop standing there with your mouth hanging open… we're gonna miss it" Gordo grabbed her hand and pulled her all the way up to the Ferris wheel, giving the man two tickets, before Lizzie could stop him to give him hers. He sat down on one side of the seat and she sat on the other.
"You're right. We would have almost missed it" Lizzie told him, excitedly. Every year at the high school's annual carnival, Lizzie and Gordo would race out to the Ferris wheel. It was a goal of theirs to be sitting on top when the lights came on from all the rides. And just as predicted, there they came one every year, they were always on time. They hadn't missed one not yet. Well, one time, Gordo had his tonsils out and Lizzie came over to his house and sat with him, with the blinds open and they watched the lights come on together. The lights always felt like home. Lizzie looked over at Gordo. He was smiling at her. Gordo scooted over to sit beside her.
"Lizzie I know... you don't feel the same way about me. But you're my best friend. And" Gordo hesitated. Lizzie had to urge him to go on.
"Gordo... tell me" Lizzie pushed. He was now sitting so close to her she could smell his... She didn't know what it was. His Gordo smell. It was wonderful.
"Lizzie... I love you" He said with one breathe.
"Gordo... You know I love you to…We will always be friends." She smiled at him… This wasn't what she was hoping he would say.
Gordo grabbed her shoulders gently and gave her a little shake. "No Lizzie, that's now what I mean, I mean…I'm in love with you. As in I want something more than friendship" Gordo told her with clarity. "But I know you have Nate, and I know you don't feel the same way, so I am willing to push my feelings aside, for as long as you want. Even forever" He told her, with a sad look in his eyes. He had been willing to put his happiness away in order for hers. He was still holding onto her shoulders. It was now or never. She leaned forward quickly, and kissed Gordo forcefully, trying to express the way she felt without saying a word. He didn't let go of her shoulders. He kissed her back at first uncertainly, well that was expected, and he didn't know what had happened with Nate. He still hadn't let go of her shoulders. Lizzie kept kissing him, reached around and put his hands around her back. She slowly ran her hands in his hair. She pulled back a little and smiled, her lips still touching his.
He was out of breathe when he spoke. "Lizzie I ... I'm confused..." His face was only inches from hers, her hands still in his hair and his still on her back. He was breathing heavily and Lizzie could feel his heart beating.
"What's there to be confused about...? I love you..." She smiled… "Sorry... I'm in love with you" She kissed him even more passionately and this time he didn't hesitate. He pulled back and kissed her along her neck, then pulled away and frowned…
"What about Nate?" He asked sadly.
"Well, the truth..." Lizzie continued to tell him all about what had happened... Gordo's face got redder and redder. He looked really upset. By the time Lizzie had finished, Gordo looked like he wanted to take Nate out.
"What an ass hole... I'm going to..." Gordo started. Lizzie put a finger to his lips...
"Shh…..worry about that later..." She slowly kissed him…she slowly opened her eyes the same time as Gordo did... and as predicted. The lights came on, and Lizzie knew she was home. As for Nate, she knew Gordo would take care of him for her….
