Chapter 4:
*3 Weeks Later*
The steady stream of sunlight woke Gordo early. Normally, he would have been annoyed at not being able to sleep in on a Saturday, but this morning he didn't mind. Maybe it was the beautiful New York morning, or the beautiful sight of Lizzie sleeping peacefully next to him, but at the moment, all was right in Gordo's world. He silently crept out of the master bedroom, so as not to wake her up. She was meeting Miranda at 10:00 to go for yet another wedding dress fitting. Gordo marveled at the massive detail that went into planning a wedding. That's why he had let Miranda and Lizzie take over. He knew they'd have a ball doing it, plus it took some pressure off of him. His only job was to pick up the tuxes the day before. He was pretty sure he could handle that.
Gordo wandered into the guest bedroom, and opened the closet. Lizzie had completely taken over the shoe rack in their closet, leaving Gordo to resort to storing his own footwear someplace else. He grabbed his sneakers and laced them up. He wrote a note to Lizzie, then headed out towards Central Park.
15 minutes later, Lizzie awoke. She yawned and stretched. Her sleepy daze was quickly put to rest by a wave of sickness that came over her. She groaned, holding her stomach. She was starving! So hungry, in fact, that she felt sick. She managed to get herself to the kitchen, and get herself a bagel and cream cheese. She ate it, and felt a little better. She was going to refill her orange juice glass when she noticed a note on the fridge.
Good Morning Sunshine!
Went for a run. I'm stopping at the store. If you need anything, I have my cell phone. I'll be back soon. I love you!
Gordo
Lizzie smiled at how lucky she was to have found the perfect guy. Her soulmate. Her happy thought was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"Hello?" she answered.
"I thought you'd be up." Replied the voice on the other end.
"Morning sweetie." She said.
"I'm at the grocery store right now, do we need anything?" asked Gordo.
"Oh yeah! We need ice cream!" exclaimed Lizzie.
"We do?" asked Gordo. "I just bought two gallons 3 days ago!"
"I know, but Miranda and I made sundaes that night you were out, and I had some yesterday." She replied.
"Ok, I'll grab some." He told her. "Anything else?"
"Nah that should do it." Lizzie remarked. "I gotta go take a shower, I'm meeting Miranda in 25 minutes!"
"Ok." He replied. "Love ya."
"Love you more!" She exclaimed, as she hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Lizzie and Miranda were at the Bridal Shop. Lizzie was pulling the dress over her head, while Miranda watched, a little envious.
"You are so lucky!" she exclaimed. "I wish I was getting married."
"Aww, you will someday." Replied Lizzie, as she finished zipping up the dress. It was strapless, with a corset-style bodice, and a flowing skirt and train.
"Lizzie, you look like a princess!" exclaimed Miranda.
Lizzie beamed. "You really do!" remarked the Anna, the tailor. "How does it feel?"
"Pretty good." Replied Lizzie. "It's a little tight through here." She remarked, motioning towards her torso area.
"Well, it was fine the last time." Replied Anna. "It's supposed to be form fitting, but not too uncomfortable."
"Maybe we should lay off the sundaes, huh Lizzie?" laughed Miranda.
"Probably!" agreed Lizzie.
"No, I must have taken it in too much." Said Anna, looking more closely at it. "Not a problem, I can let it out a bit more. No one would be the wiser." She winked at Lizzie.
"My lips are sealed." Laughed Miranda.
"Ok, but no more junkfood till after the wedding!" Lizzie laughed.
Meanwhile, Gordo had returned from his morning errands, and was getting the mail from the apartment building. He brought it upstairs, and began leafing through it as he entered the kitchen. Bills, catalogs, and a few late wedding replies.
He opened one of the wedding replies, and read the name. Kate Saunders. After much debate, Lizzie had decided to invite her to be the bigger person. All through high school, Kate had remained a snob, but Lizzie had it in her heart to look beyond that and recall happier days when they were friends. She had expected to receive a negative reply, so Gordo was shocked when he saw a check next to Miss Kate Saunders and guest will attend. He was even more shocked when he saw the name written next to "and guest".
Lizzie was not going to be happy.
