Chapter 14: First Kiss

Monday 9:28 A.M.

Gordo POV

I changed into my swimsuit, too. Then I met Lizzie by the waterfall. And when I saw her, I almost fainted. This time, she was wearing a bikini, not a swimsuit. And let me tell you, she looked hotter than hot.

"Hey." I said.

She smiled wickedly. "Since you're still alive, that means I can do this." She pushed me into the lake.

It was built upside down. The water was deep in the beginning, but then by the time you reached the waterfall, the water was only about a foot high. So I almost drowned when she pushed me in so unexpectedly.

"What are trying to do?" I said, floating up. "Kill me?"

"Something like that." She did a cannonball into the water.

"Race you to he waterfall." I challenged, getting a head start.

"Hey, no fair!" She started swimming, too.

We both reached the waterfall at the same time, and stood up in the middle of it. The water poured onto my face. I gathered up all my courage. I was going to do it.

I was never over Lizzie.

I was denying that I was in love.

And I was going to tell her that.

Lizzie POV

I found this moment so romantic. I was going to tell him now. It was the perfect time. Under a waterfall. He'd have to take it. I didn't care about the other girl. Gordo had to know my feeling for him sooner or later. And I decided sooner was better than later, when it was too late.

"I have to tell you something." We said at the same exact time.

"You go first."

"No, you!"

I started giggling. I could practically read his mind.

"Okay, on the count of three, we both say what we want to." Gordo said. "One... two... three..."

"I LOVE YOU!" We both screamed.

Animated Lizzie: Whoa, didn't see that one coming.

This was insane. Was he playing a trick on me, or was he serious?

"What?" I asked. "What about that other girl?"

"What other girl?"

"The one you told me about when we were playing Truth or Dare." I said.

Animated Lizzie: Duh! What other one?

"Oh, her. Well, here's a big surprise for you, Lizzie." He smiled so brightly that it made my heart skip a beat. "That girl was you."

My eyes widened. "N-no way..."

He nodded "Yes way. But what about that guy you told me about? You know, cute, nice, smart..."

"That was you!" I exclaimed.

"But I was jealous!"

"Me too!"

We were both jealous of ourselves. It was so funny.

We started laughing.

"I tried to forget you. I said to myself, 'Lizzie never listens to me or cares about me'. But it didn't work. I knew you did care, and I wouldn't admit it. I was denying my love for you. I don't know how this happened, but it's-"

I interrupted his blabbering by a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, closed my eyes, and leaned forward. He leaned forward, too

And then we shared our first kiss under the waterfall.

Gordo POV

I tightened my arms around her waist. This was the moment I had been waiting for. I pressed my lips harder against hers. It felt so good. I didn't want to ever let go of her. It made me feel safe, and that no one in the world could hurt me. The water poured onto us, but it didn't spilt us up.

I never knew an entire life of her squealing and whining over other guys would be worth it for this one kiss.

A/N: Isn't it just great?
