AUTHORS NOTE: Hey, first off, thanks for all the reviews I've been getting.
The response has been great! Second, I hope this chapter won't be to
confusing or hard to read. I go back and forth between Lizzie's p.o.v. and
Gordo's p.o.v much more often than I did in the other 3 chapters. Ok, on w/
the story.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
"What's up?" Asks Gordo.
Lizzie can see him blushing, but doesn't mention it. She looks into his eyes and feels like she could just get lost in them. She has never felt this way about someone before. Even when it came to Ethan. All looks, no personality. And that's what made it so different about Gordo. He was pretty cute actually. His smile. His eyes. And of course. His great personality. Such a sweet guy. Suddenly, she realized that she had been staring at Gordo, not saying a thing for a good few moments. She quickly averted her eyes.
"Listen, uh. Gordo." She stammered.
She tried to find the right words. But.they just wouldn't come out. Telling Gordo how she felt was going to be harder than she thought. And, as bad as she wanted to be with him, she was also a little afraid of tarnishing their long friendship. What was she to do? How was she going to tell him? She wanted Gordo more than anything right now. She wanted his lips against hers. His hands entwined with hers. She felt really lightheaded.
"Yeah Lizzie?"
Gordo chimed in, bringing Lizzie back to reality. She quickly came up with something.
"Hey, you wanna go to the Digital Bean?" Asked Lizzie.
"Well, we go to the digital bean all the time. Why don't we do something else for a change?"
Something else? She had an idea of something else she wanted to do for a change. The image of Gordo kissing Lizzie from her dream flashed in her head for a split second.
"It sure is hot out today." Said Lizzie.
What? Where did that come from? Wherever it came from, it sure seemed like a stupid thing to say.
"Well, why don't we go down to the lake today?" Asked Gordo.
Lizzie's eyes lit up. This was a great chance for her to show him how she felt. She agreed and told him that she would be back in an hour, ready to go. Gordo shut the door. She sighed, and started walking home. She practically melted looking into his eyes. What bathing suit was she going to where? Should she do her hair again? It is just going to get messed up anyway. But she wanted him to see how pretty she could be. She ran home, feeling so happy.
GORDO'S P.O.V.
Wow. He wasn't expecting to suddenly come up with that suggestion. Going to the lake? Gordo just didn't want to go to the Digital Bean again. Now he couldn't wait to see her again. Only an hour right? 10 minutes went by, and it started to feel like 10 hours. Yep. This was going to be such a long hour. He quickly rushed into the shower. Even though he was just going to get messed up again, he had to look good for her. Even if he wasn't sure if Lizzie liked him back.
He got out of the shower, and put his swim trunks and a shirt on. He looked at the clock. 25 more minutes. Ugh! This was killing him. Every second away from Lizzie felt like an eternity. But, they get to go swimming in the lake together, so the wait will be well worth it. Just like at the beach, the lake was another opportunity for Gordo to feel the heat of Lizzie brushing up against him underwater.
25 minutes finally go by, and there is a knock at the door. He opened it, and saw Lizzie, looking absolutely beautiful, wearing a pink bikini top, and blue shorts, her golden blond hair slightly blowing in the wind.
"Ready to go Gordo?" Asked Lizzie.
"Y-Yeah. Let's go." Stuttered Gordo.
As they walked to the lake, he realized not a word was escaping their mouths. He looked over at Lizzie, and felt that fluttery feeling in his stomach again.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
Why wasn't he saying anything? Why wasn't SHE saying anything? Usually when they went to the lake there was plenty of chatter. Of course, whenever they went to the lake Miranda was with them. So then of course there is going to be a lot of talking. She saw the lake up ahead. The sun made the lake shimmer, but a few gray clouds were beginning to form.
Oh no! What if it rains? No. She can't be pessimistic about something like this. She has to tell Gordo how she feels before it's too late. Because, what if she doesn't tell him soon? And another girl enters the equation and Gordo doesn't have those feelings toward her anymore? She couldn't stand thinking about that prospect, so she decided to get it out of her mind. She challenged Gordo to a race to the lake up ahead.
"Your on McGuire!" Said Gordo.
He went bolting ahead, and she started to run. He was winning, partly because he was faster, and mostly because Lizzie wanted him to win. Gordo did a little victory dance that made Lizzie laugh.
GORDO'S P.O.V.
He loved Lizzie's laugh. A warm feeling went over him whenever he heard her giggle. Especially when it's something that he said, that made her laugh. They jumped into the lake and began a splash war. They laughed and kept this small water battle up for a good 10 minutes. Gordo stopping from time to time to admire Lizzie's beauty. However, the usual glimmer of sunlight in her hair was not present. He looked up into the sky and saw the clouds were looming overhead. He didn't think much of them, but just in case, he moved the towels, and beach bag Lizzie brought, underneath the covered picnic area, onto one of the tables.
Gordo went back into the water, and.Lizzie was gone. He looked around and didn't see her anywhere. Oh no, did she leave? Did the looming rain scare her off? Suddenly, a hand clasped around his leg, and pulled him under. It was Lizzie, underneath the water. She bolted up and swam away.
"Oh, you're going down McGuire!" Said Gordo jokingly.
Lizzie stopped up ahead suddenly. Gordo wondered why, but was soon answered as he felt a raindrop hit his shoulder.
END P.O.V.
Soon, that small drop became a drizzle. The two of them decided to get out of the lake and start home. But before they could even do that, the small drizzle became a downpour. They ran under the covered area to get out of the rain. They looked at one another and immediately had a feeling of warmth throughout their bodies as they gazed into each other's eyes.
