***Ch.5*** The Back Porch
"Mom can I go to Gordo's tonight?" I asked, pleading with my eyes.
"Honey, it's a school night," Mom replied, exasperated.
"Yeah, in my day we did homework on a Wednesday," Dad chimed in.
"But it's the end of the year! The teachers are just as sick of it all as we are. Besides, I'll
be home before 9," I protested, watching for a sign of giving in.
"Alright, but hurry back," Mom finally agreed. Yes! I ran upstairs to take a quick shower
for Gordo and fix myself all over again. I finished and began the short walk to Gordo's house,
attempting to not look as eager as I felt. I walked up the same steps I've walked a thousand times
before, but somehow it felt *different* this time. Gordo pulled open the door before I even had
the chance to ring his doorbell.
"Hey Lizzeles!" Gordo greeted, making fun of my screen name. Well, two can play that
game!
"Hola VideoGordo," I laughed. We walked through the house and sat down on the
Gordon's back porch. I love sitting on the porch during summer nights. We sat down on our
usual swinging bench, and began to talk.
"Lizzie, did you notice anything... the past couple years?" Gordo asked, keeping his deep
blue eyes averted.
"Like what?" I replied, exploding with curiosity.
"Come on, think about it. I've given clues various times because...well because....I was
too shy to come out and say that I liked you. I only just recently got up the courage when I wrote
in your yearbook," Gordo explained, still gazing at his Nikes. He's so cute when he's nervous!
"Like, the time you stayed with me when I couldn't go to Danny's pool party?" I
suggested, catching on.
"Right. And when you broke up with Ronnie? Who was there for you?" Gordo looked up
at me.
"You!" I laughed, giving him a hug. I never realized how good it felt to hug Gordo. This
tingling sensation rose up my spine when we touched. We broke apart.
"Gordo, you idiot!" I exclaimed. "I've been dropping clues too! For such a smart guy..." I
teased.
"What?" Gordo pondered.
"Why do you think I missed you so much when you went to high school? And why did I
almost break down in tears when you were dancing with Parker McKenzie? Although, I have to
admit, I didn't realize it until recently, either," I explained, gazing into those eyes. The bench
gently rocked back and forth.
"I didn't know you almost cried! I would dance with you over her any day," Gordo
assured me.
"You really mean that?" I asked, as the swinging bench came to a halt.
"Lizzie, will you go out with me?"

A/N: Thanks for all the nice reviews! Let me know if you would like me to continue!
What will Lizzie's reply be? What will Miranda think of all this? How will the McGuires react?
