Chapter 3

After a week of preparing, Lizzie, Gordo, and the rest of the gang were preparing to go to the most romantic place in the world. Paris, France.

"Oh, Gordo," Lizzie squealed at the thought of going to France, "I've always wanted to go to France! And I'm glad it's with you!"

"Thanks Lizzie." Gordo replied.

A voice rang out over the intercom at the airport, "NOW BOARDING, FLIGHT 103 TO PARIS."

"Hey! That's us Gordo!" Lizzie turned around and hugged her mom and dad, who had become alright with Lizzie going place by herself.

"Be careful honey." Jo McGuire shouted at her daughter as she left for the plane.

"I will mom." Lizzie turned around and waved to her family as she set off to the terminal, which her plane was located.

Her and Gordo made their way to the plane, where they showed their tickets to the stewardess, and took their seats.

*****

It was a really long flight to Paris, so Gordo and Lizzie had a lot of time to talk about different things.

After two hours or so of talking about their childhood past, they got to talking about more present issues.

"So, Gordo, what's going on today?" Lizzie asked him.

"Well. um. nothing really." Gordo looked down as he spoke, hiding something from Lizzie.

"C'mon Gordo. You can tell me anything. please?" She asked.

"Well. yeah." He sighed, and prepared for the dive, "Lizzie, listen. For a while, I've had some mixed feelings towards you."

"Are you mad at me? Why? What'd I do?" She stammered, wondering why her best friend was mad at her.

"No, no, no, no. I'm not mad at you at all! Try the opposite." Gordo blushed.

"G-Gordo."

"You see, I really, really like you, but I feel that if I asked you out or something, it'd ruin our perfect friendship. And I'm not sure if I want to take that risk." Gordo's face went bright red as he spilled his feeling for Lizzie all over the floor.

"Well. Gordo, if you want, that's a risk I'm willing to take." She leaned over, and kissed Gordo. Not secretively, but out in the open, where everyone could see them, even Kate.

Kate glanced suddenly over to Lizzie and Gordo's seat, to see if they were talking about her, when she saw them locked in a passionate kiss. She sneered at Lizzie's luck, and glanced at Ethan, who was sitting next to her, eyes focused on the two.

"Hey, Ethan, how come we never kissed like that? Ever?!" Kate yelled at Ethan. He just sat there with a blank look on his face. Kate sighed, and decided to go to sleep.

Lizzie slid back from Gordo, as his eyes opened, "Listen Gordo," she began, "if this was any day a while ago, I probably wouldn't have done that. But it isn't. I really discovered something that day in Rome. something inside. deep down. a sudden, passion. I've kept it inside for two years, and I want to tell you everything now that I can. I really, really, like you Gordo." Lizzie finished. He sat stunned by the words Lizzie just said.

"W-Well. u-um. okay. Don't you think it's a little sudden?" Gordo asked her.

"Yeah, but I just had to tell you. I can't keep it inside forever." She answered.

"Well then, um, Lizzie, would you. maybe, like to go out with me?" Gordo asked.

Both of them thought it was sudden, but they felt that they had to express their feelings to each other there and now. Lizzie thought about it for a second, and then replied.

"I'd be honored to go out with you Gordo." She asked.

"Well. um. thanks." Gordo blushed wildly, as did Lizzie.

"Gordo?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Thanks. Thanks a lot." She said.

"For what?" Gordo questioned.

"For just being there. For me. Forever." Lizzie thanked him.

"No problem McGuire." Gordo replied as Lizzie laid her head on his shoulder, and went to sleep for the long flight to the city of romance.
