Chapter 10: Not Again!
"Lizzie!" called Gordo, grabbing his car keys. "Let's go!"
"Ok! I'll be right there." Lizzie replied. "I'm just going to call Miranda and let her know we're on our way."
"Hurry up!" exclaimed Gordo.
Lizzie dialed the number to Miranda's apartment as she finished getting ready. She and Gordo were supposed to meet Miranda her new boyfriend du jour at a new restaurant in town. She had met this one at the auditions for a commercial. His name was Cedric. The phone rang over and over until the machine finally kicked in.
"Hey! You've reached Miranda.and Lizzie! We aren't here right now, so leave us some love and we'll get back to you!" Miranda had left the message she and Lizzie had recorded when they shared the apartment for when Mrs. McGuire called. She still did not know that Lizzie and Gordo were living together. Lizzie was a little surprised that Miranda wasn't there. She was never one to be one time. Had she already left for the restaurant? Lizzie left a message just in case.
"Hey Miranda, it's me. Just calling to let you know that we're on our way. If you've left already, we'll see you there. If not, hurry up and finish getting ready! Bye!"
Lizzie grabbed her bag and ran out the door.
She met Gordo in the lobby of the building.
"Finally!' he exclaimed, as they walked into the parking garage.
"Shut up!" she yelled, playfully, as she hit him on the shoulder.
"So what's the forecast?" asked Gordo as they got into the car. "Are we looking at 10, 15 minutes late for Miss Sanchez?"
"Actually, she wasn't there." Replied Lizzie. "She must have left already."
"Wow! Miranda early? This is a miracle." Exclaimed Gordo. "I like this guy already."
Lizzie laughed. She didn't call and cancel or anything did she? It's weird that she wasn't there."
"Nope." Gordo replied. "The only call while you were out was your dressmaker. You have an appointment with her a week from today- next Saturday."
"Oh!" exclaimed Lizzie. "I forgot all about that! I have to call and cancel."
"How come?" asked Gordo.
"Miranda invited me over to help her work on a new dance routine for her auditions." Replied Lizzie.
"Well, you can reschedule that can't you? I mean, no offense, but I don't think a new dance routine will drastically improve Miranda's chances." Retorted Gordo.
"Oh Gordo! You are so stupid sometimes!" exclaimed Lizzie, very annoyed.
"What did I do know?" asked Gordo, defensively.
Lizzie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Obviously, she's having a surprise wedding shower for me. It's just a set up to get me over there."
"How'd you find out?" asked Gordo.
"I'm not stupid Gordo. And there's only a month to the wedding. It has to be next week." Lizzie reasoned.
"Right." Said Gordo, going along with it. "Well, try to act surprised. And you didn't hear it from me."
"Oh! I knew it!" squealed Lizzie. "Don't worry, I won't say a word!"
"OK." Agreed Gordo.
"Look." Said Lizzie. "Here's my surprised face!"
Gordo watched as Lizzie made an over exaggerated look of shock. He stifled a laugh. "I always said you'd make a great actress, McGuire."
Lizzie laughed. "You're just trying to butter me up."
"Oh yeah?" asked Gordo.
"Yeah." Replied Lizzie.
"Is it working?" he asked. He leaned over a kissed her.
"Gordo! Keep your eyes on the road!" she scolded.
"Ok." He agreed. "I want to set a good example for junior."
"Ew!" exclaimed Lizzie. "No way are you referring to our child as junior!"
Gordo laughed. "Ok, what do I call him then?"
"Him?" Lizzie asked. "You're so sure it's a him?"
"Ok.what do I call it?" he asked.
"How about just 'the baby' for right now." She suggested. "Until we discuss names."
"Ok." He agreed. "Well, I hope the baby is ready to meet its possible future uncle."
"Gordo!" exclaimed Lizzie. "She's only been seeing him a week. And now he's our baby's possible future uncle?"
"Hey, I didn't say it was definite." He remarked.
"I hope not." She replied. "Can you imagine having an uncle Cedric? Ew!"
They both laughed. They arrived at the restaurant a few minutes later.
"Here we go!" exclaimed Gordo, sarcastically.
"Gordo." Scolded Lizzie. "You have to promise you'll be nice to this one. No matter what he's like."
"I'm always nice." Retorted Gordo, giving Lizzie a kiss on the nose. "Except when I'm not." He added, grinning mischievously.
The restaurant was located in a hotel, so they had to take an elevator to the floor. When they reached the correct one, Gordo pushed in front of Lizzie, and wouldn't let her out.
"Gordo! Come on!" she protested. "We need to get out."
"Just a sec." He told her. He stepped behind her and put his hands over her eyes.
"Gordo!" she exclaimed, trying to pry his hands off her. "You are being foolish!"
Gordo led her off the elevator and into the restaurant, where a huge group of women, led by Miranda, was standing, waiting. Giggles erupted.
"You ready?" asked Gordo.
"For what?" asked Lizzie, annoyed.
"For this!" exclaimed Miranda.
Gordo let go off Lizzie.
"Surprise!!!!!" screamed all the voices.
