Part 2/2

Rated PG

L/G, Miranda interaction

Author's Note: Takes place after Rome. I'm still not so confident about how I characterized Gordo and Lizzie in this chapter, so feedback is WANTED, NEEDED and CRAVED!

~Thanks to me, jessica black, tic-tac, lizzie-fan, keeponwritin, who reviewed this fic, and to everyone else who has reviewed my other fics!

Summary: Three friends are together again, but something's a little different about two of them.

"So did you sleep well?" Lizzie asked as she unzipped a big black bag.

"Yeah, but I remember waking up and you and Miranda were still outside--- how long were you two out there?"

"I don't even know." Lizzie chuckled. "We had a lot of catching up to do."

"So I guess it's safe to assume she knows about what happened on the rooftop?" Gordo slipped in casually as he started a pile of clothes on Lizzie's bed.

"Yeah." Lizzie replied. "I just wanted to---well, she wanted to know everything---and she noticed something---"

"Lizzie, I understand. I'm the other amigo, remember? I know how you two work." Gordo said, causing Lizzie's face to relax in relief.

"I just didn't want to think I was---I don't know. I just didn't want you to think I was saying anything bad or anything." Lizzie said, opening her closet.

"I know you wouldn't---and I don't think that we even kissed long enough for you to tell if I was a good kisser of not." Gordo teased.

"Well, I never knew you thought you were a good kisser." Lizzie replied, slightly embarrassed.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me."

"Whatever, Gordo. I've known you my whole life."

"Well, when you were dating Ronny, I was really jealous of him."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Gordo said matter-of-factly. "And the only reason I wanted to win the stupid mystery game was to impress you."

"I know." Lizzie confessed.

"You do?"

"Kate told me that apparently everyone at school knew you had a thing for me but me."

"Wow. I didn't think I was that obvious."

"I think I was pretty slow on the uptake."

"Hey, Lizzie?" Gordo asked as she turned to hang up a shirt in her closet.

"Yeah?" She replied, turning around.

Gordo smiled slightly as he tilted her face a little and kissed her a little longer and harder than any other time.

"So, when you call Miranda to tell her about what happened, are you going to tell her I'm a good kisser or not?" Gordo asked as he pulled away and Lizzie smiled.

"Funny, Gordo." Lizzie said, hitting him with a pillow.

"I've been working on it." He said, bumping her with his hip, then leaning to kiss Lizzie again.
