Joe: What moments are you talking about that Scott wasn't there for? I'm lost.
Chapter 15: Bonding
Lizzie walked into her house dazed to say the least. The night had been more than she expected. She was just planning on some good wholesome fun with her two best friends, instead she got a confession of love. A confession she wasn't expecting. Truths were revealed. Scott hadn't made the CD, Gordo had. Gordo.
'So, where do I go from here? Is it Scott I want or Gordo? I think I get somewhere and I'm back where I started. When Gordo uncovered himself tonight, and when we were caught in that trance, wow. I don't even know where to begin. But, it's Gordo. My lifelong best friend. The guy that I've complained about all my boy troubles from the moment I realized Cooties weren't so horrible and maybe I wanted to catch them. I can't believe he stood by watching, listening, and liking me in secret. It's too overwhelming. I don't know if I want to risk anything with him, it's scary and a path that is difficult to navigate down. I mean, best friend to boyfriend? Can we do it? Can we make it? What if we break up, will he still be my best friend? It's hard to stay friends after a breakup. Do I take the risk with Gordo or be safe with Scott? I've never been one to take risks,' to say Lizzie's mind was thinking a mile a minute was an understatement. She was starting to get a headache as she made it to her room.
"Lizzie? Can I come in?" came a voice from outside her door accompanied by a slight knock.
"Yeah, I guess." Matt slowly entered.
"Can we talk?" He looked serious.
"Take a seat, little man," honestly he wasn't too little anymore. Puberty had hit Matt hard, making him taller than his sister.
"Thanks," he replied sitting on the edge of her bed.
"What's on your mind?" Lizzie inquired.
"Melina."
"Ah, Melina. Yes, what would you like to know?"
"Well, you know, I'm only 13, kinda new at this whole dating thing and," he was cut off
"You want to date Melina?"
"Yeah, I do," Matt admitted.
"And you're having trouble figuring out a way to confess your attraction to your best friend yet still keep her as a best friend and possibly more?" Lizzie asked all too familiar with the situation.
"Have much experience here, sis?" Matt laughed.
"You could say, it's my recent forte of knowledge."
"Gordo finally did it, huh?"
"How does everyone EXCEPT me know everything about how Gordo feels?"
"I hate to break it to you, well, no, I don't, but that boy, he's got it bad. He wants you, he more than wants you. He quite possibly is in love with you," Matt couldn't have been more honest.
"In love with me? I don't know about that. I'll tell you this though Matt, as for you and Melina. You're young, take a chance."
"Maybe you should practice what you preach."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm working on it," Lizzie said as she reached for the ringing phone. Matt exited.
"Hello?" Lizzie said.
"Lizzie? About earlier, can we just, can we talk?" Gordo's weary voice spoke
"Gordo, we are talking."
"I mean, in person."
"Yeah, I guess. Why don't you swing by and we can talk?"
"Alright, I'll be there soon."
"OK." Just as soon as she placed the phone back, it rang again. "Hello?"
"Lizzie! Oh. My. God. You will not believe me when I tell you!" Miranda screamed
"Try me Miranda."
"Larry and I are going out later tonight!"
"That's awesome. What happened?"
"I called him and we met at the park. I told him that I liked him still too. He was surprised. But, nonetheless, he asked me out. Then, we swung on the swings, talking. It was so great. The best part has yet to come: he kissed me! Granted, we kissed back after 8th when we had our little thing, only once, but this time, it was indescribable." Miranda raved.
Lizzie couldn't help but feel utter joy for her friend, even if she never knew about a prior kiss. "Aw. So, what are you two lovebirds doing tonight?"
"I'm not sure. I've already seen a movie today. Maybe we'll just pick up some food. We'll see. Oh, that's my other line. Mind if we hang up?"
"No. It's fine with me. I'm expecting company."
"Company?" Miranda questioned with new interest.
"Yes, Gordo if you must know. We'll discuss this later, you have another call. Bye."
"Fine. Bye." Miranda clicked off.
Matt came barging in. "Lizzie!"
"Whoa. Hi there."
"She said yes. She actually said yes!" Matt beamed.
"OK, either you asked Melina out or Mom said yes to you coming in here like a baffling fool," Lizzie reasoned.
"Well, former rather than the latter."
"Miss Melina whatever-her-last-name-is and Mr. Matt McGuire dating. How cute." Lizzie mused
"Gracias. By the way, your own caller has come," Matt's Spanish-speaking alter-ego left.
"Is that supposed to mean Gordo is here?!" Lizzie yelled as Gordo entered her room. "Oh."
"Hi," he started, waving.
"Hi," she meekly responded.
"About earlier....." Gordo said taking a seat on her bed.
A/N: Sorry! I had to leave you off somewhere. Maybe I should do Miranda and Larry next so you have to wait even longer! Hmm. Review!
