Chapter 13:
Lizzie and Gordo finished their pizza and left the Pizza Palace. For the millionth time that week they got into Lizzie's Jeep and drove back to the McGuires'.
"You want me to pop some popcorn?" asked Lizzie.
"Sure." Gordo replied. "I'll get the DVD ready."
"Ok." Agreed Lizzie, walking into the kitchen to get the food.
She returned with a bowl of popcorn and two cokes. She set them down on the coffee table and joined Gordo on the couch.
"You're sure you want to go through with this?" asked Gordo, as he hit "play" on the remote control.
"Yep." Replied Lizzie. "No turning back now!"
She shut off the lights as the opening titles played. The movie was pretty predictable. Serial killer escapes prison, assumes new identity as a college student. Serial killer gets antsy after a few months. Serial killer murders 2 college girls and flees the scene. Hot teen heartthrob vows to protect wimpy damsel-in-distress girlfriend. Hot teen heartthrob goes after killer. Lizzie made it to that point, about halfway through the movie until she started freaking out.
"No! Don't go in there! The killer is in there!" she yelled at the screen.
"Lizzie." Whispered Gordo. "This might come as a shock to you, but the people in the movie can't hear you."
"Shut up Gordo!" she remarked, as she punched him on the shoulder. "No! Don't stab him!" She winced and shrieked as the killer plunged a knife into the heartthrob. She slowly uncovered her eyes, only to reveal a scene of the killer holding a blood soaked knife, laughing evilly. She screamed once more, and turned into Gordo's arm.
"It's ok." He mused, as he put his arm around her. "It's only a movie."
"I know, but you were right, it's scaring me." She admitted.
"I'm right here." He said, trying to comfort her. "I won't let any crazed serial killers near you." He rubbed her arm and returned his attention to the movie. As bad as it was, there were a few cool shots.
Lizzie snuggled closer to him. She liked how it felt to be in his arms. Safe and warm. She wished she could tell him that.
Gordo glanced at Lizzie. He liked that he made her feel safe. He liked being her protector. If only she knew.
Lizzie managed to watch the end of the movie. It was a cliffhanger, with plenty of opportunity for an equally bloody sequel. They watched as the last title faded off the screen. Neither of them wanted to end whatever it was going on between them. Lizzie got up however. She turned on the lights, and tried to break the awkward silence.
"So," she attempted. "Wanna watch another movie?"
"I guess." Replied Gordo, unsure of what else to say.
Lizzie walked over to the cabinet where the McGuires' kept their DVD collection. She looked at all the titles, and tried to pick one. She grabbed Vesuvius, the Ben Affleck movie they had once tried to sneak into.
"Wait." Gordo said, a little unsure of what he was about to do. "Don't put it in yet."
"What's wrong?" asked Lizzie.
"Nothing's wrong. There's something I've been wanting to tell you." He remarked.
"Me too." Responded Lizzie quietly.
"Gordo, I." "Lizzie, I." They both started at the same time.
"Go ahead." She told him.
"Ever since I got back, before then even, I've had a few things on my mind." He began. "And what's been happening lately has just convinced me that I need to tell you."
"Ok." Replied Lizzie.
"Lizzie, I don't know if you feel the same way, or if this is totally going to freak you out, but I like you. Like you, like you." He admitted. "I guess I always have, but it was too cliché, boy best friend falls for girl best friend. I thought if I didn't act on it, I'd forget about it and move on. But I can't."
Lizzie looked shocked, but happy.
"You really feel this way?" she asked.
"Yeah." He replied. "But you probably think I'm crazy, and that I've ruined our friendship. I understand if you do."
"Well Gordo, you better reassess your ESP." she said, as she walked toward him. "Because you are completely wrong about that."
"I am?" he asked.
"Yeah." She replied, shyly. "I never wanted to say anything either. I thought it'd ruin our friendship and I didn't want that. Since we were little, I've kept my mouth shut. But, I guess now's the time. I like you too, Gordo. Like you, like you."
"Wow." Was all he could say.
"Yeah." She agreed. "So what now?"
"This, I think." He answered.
He moved his face closer to hers. He took her chin in his hand and lifted her lips to his. He leaned in and they kissed.
TBC!!
