The next day, Gordo had off again. He wondered how Miranda was doing. MREs
for lunch did not sound too good. Gordo had always imagined himself playing
the big role in his relationship. But in this one, Miranda was. It was
weird. Gordo called Miranda on her cell.
"Ring, Ring"
"Hello?"
"Hey, Miranda, it's me."
"Oh, hey what's going on?"
"Nothing, just wondering how your lunch is going."
"Oh, Gordo, you're going to have to speak up."
"Where are you?"
"Burger King"
"What are you doing there? I thought you had to eat MREs"
"We did, but then they turned out bad so the colonel let us go to Burger King."
"Why didn't you call me? We could have had lunch together!"
"Gordo, chill. I'm eating with some of my buds. As you can tell. But don't worry; there will be plenty of times when you will be eating lunch with me AND, to make it up to you, I will cook you a good Mexican meal. I'm going to come over to your house tonight to start it ok."
"Ok, Miranda, I trust you."
"Do you think I can spend the night?"
"Yeah, sure, gladly"
"Ok. Oo, Gordo, I have to vamoose, we're getting ready to leave and I'm not done yet!"
"Ok, I'll see you tonight."
"Alright sweetie. I miss you and I love you much. Adios mi amore."
(in the background) "Aye, Listen to Mrs. Gordito! Kiss kiss!!" yelled Guerro
"GUERRO!!!!" yelled Miranda.
"Bye Miranda." He laughed
He hung up and thought. He had had this predicament with Miranda before. When he never trusted her. Her friends seemed really nice. It made him want to join the army. He couldn't wait for tonight when Miranda would be all his.
~~~~Later that night~~~~
"Ok, Gordo, do you have the meat I asked for?"
"Right here"
Gordo loved the fact that Miranda knew how to cook. It was something all guys looked for in a woman. Not only did she cook, but also she cooked good food. Recipes that had been passed down in her family for decades were the kind she used.
"Ok, Gordo, while this cooks, we can watch a movie or whatever you want to do."
They both decided that they would watch Maid In Manhattan. Gordo liked it because it was a love movie and this would mean that there was a calm atmosphere. Miranda liked it because she liked Jennifer Lopez. Miranda and Gordo were sitting on the couch, snuggling with each other until the movie ended.
"You know, Miranda, know that we are about to get married, we have to start thinking about things."
"Like what?"
"Well, if we are going to stay in my house or move to a new one. Just stuff like that."
"Yeah, I know. It makes you want to go back to being a kid again."
"That too Miranda."
"What?"
"Miranda, you are always so beautiful and I can never help but think about what I could do to you so I could please you. Ever since middle school, I could only imagine what would happen if one day you and I became more than just friends. What we would do when we were alone and what the outcome would be."
"Are you saying what I think you are saying?"
"What do you think I am saying?"
"I think," she said in a soft romantic voice, "that you want to kiss me, mi Gordito"
"I do."
"Well, you don't have to ask."
He started to kiss her, first soft then a little more passionately. She kissed back wrapping her arms around his neck. Both of them were pretty wrapped up in their own world when suddenly the doorbell rang.
"I'll get that," said Miranda, "I'm a little more clothed than you." She pulled on a shirt and some sweat pants while Gordo was still lying on the couch. Miranda opened the door surprised to see that it had been raining hard. AND, to find a soaking wet Ethan. His eyes were full of concern."
"Ethan? Here come in. Let me get you a towel."
"Thank you."
"So why are you here? It's kind of late."
"I know, its just Lizzie and I got in a fight and well, she kicked me out. I couldn't use my car because the keys were inside the house and well, she wouldn't even let me get close to the house so I had to walk all the way to Gordon's house."
"Oh my gosh, here Ethan, sit down tell me everything that happened."
Ethan stepped inside and soon saw Gordo lying on the couch. "Oh," he smiled evilly, "did I interrupt something?"
Miranda blushed. "Way to go Gordon!" he said.
"Alright, Ethan, what happened between you and Lizzie?" said Miranda.
Gordo seemed interested too.
"Well, I had just got home from work and I asked Lizzie what was for dinner. She told me 'I don't know maybe you should try cooking a meal this evening like I do every night and I wonder what would happen if I could actually be lazy tonight.' So I was like 'Lizzie, what's wrong?" and she was like 'YOU! YOU ARE THE PROBLEM ETHAN! YOU COME HOME FROM WORK AND ALL YOU DO IS SIT YOUR LAZY ASS DOWN WHILE I DO EVERYTHING!' So I tried to tell her that I was sorry if she thought that, but have you seen our grass? I do all that! So then I decided that it wasn't helping much to argue. Then I was like 'you know Liz, you're right. I will help out more. Especially when the baby comes.' Then she got all red in the face and started to cry. So I went over to hug her and she beat me up." He reveled the bruises he had on his chest. "Then she told me to get the hell out of her house and that I could never come back and when the baby was born that I couldn't be there to see it and that I should stay out of the babies life. But then it seemed that every time I mentioned something about the baby, she started to cry more. I hope she is okay."
"Ouch, she sounds kind of peeved. Well, I think that I will take a lot of time off. It's getting close to that time when you either use it or lose it so I think I will use it. That means I can spend more time at Gordo's and I can talk to Lizzie and find out what is wrong."
"I like it when you stay with me. It ends up in a lot of "us" time." Said Gordo
"Yeah, well, I'm going to move in with you."
He got excited and sat up. "You are?!"
"Yup. I thought I was being selfish. Besides, your house is so much bigger and closer to Lizzie and Ethan."
"Yo, Gordon, can I crash here or a bit until I find out what happened with Lizzie? Please. I will be as unnoticeable as possible."
"Agh, I suppose so. But this means no more fun at night Miranda." He smiled.
"That's ok Gordo. We will have a whole lifetime to have fun."
"Right, well at least you all have each other. Lizzie hates me right now."
"Don't worry Ethan, I remember in middle school when I used to like Lizzie, there were days when it seemed she liked me and days when she seemed to hate me. I think it's PMS." Said Gordo.
"Ah, that wonderful time of the month huh?"
"Yeah, I'm sure Miranda knows a lot about it." They both smiled.
"Shut up! Let Lizzie be for a little. GOD, sometimes you guys are pretty whack too."
~~~~During Miranda's time off~~~~
Miranda decided to go and talk to Lizzie. Something was obviously very seriously wrong. Miranda wanted to get to the bottom of it too. Miranda had a brand new car. Since she had saved up a bit and got a pay raise, she gave her Jeep to Gordo. He was very thankful. Now Miranda had an even older car. It was a low rider Impala. She liked it a lot. She also had a nice paint job. On the hood was a picture of Aztec warriors and Aztec temples/ pyramids. Then, on the back was her name. She pulled into Lizzie's driveway and went up to the door. She knocked and Lizzie answered.
"I thought you were Ethan."
"Nope, just me Miranda. Mind if I come in Liz. We haven't talked in so long and well, we need to catch up."
"I agree Miranda. Come in."
Lizzie's mood sure seemed to be pretty good. Miranda wondered why Lizzie was so pissed at Ethan. The girls talked about what was going on lately and what they were planning to do in the future.
"So, Lizzie, the other night, Ethan came to our house and was in a pretty crappy mood. He said something about you kicking him out?"
"Ahh, will he just let it be between me and him. Why does he have to involve everyone else!?"
"Liz, it's ok, but what happened. Something about him being lazy and not being able to see the baby?"
Just then Lizzie started to cry. Not like a tear here and a tear there but like water works.
"Omg, Lizzie, what's wrong?"
"Ok, first here's what happened. I was a little pissed because all he does is work all day. How do I know he's not doing something else?"
"Lizzie, you know he would never do that. He's changed."
"I know, so then he left and I felt bad afterwards. But then I was like man, I hope he disobeys me and comes to see the baby."
"I know he would love to Liz."
"But then…I…I felt… I felt this sharp pain….and," she was starting to mumble and cry at the same time. "Then I fell….and then…more pain…blood." There was a long silence in which Miranda was trying to put the words together and comfort Lizzie. Somehow, she couldn't piece them together. Lizzie was crying hysterically now.
"Lizzie, tell me what's wrong. Lizzie, just for one minute, stop crying and tell me."
"Miranda!" she sobbed, "I think I lost it!"
It took awhile for this to click in Miranda's head. Then it came.
"No, Lizzie, have you gone to the doctor yet?"
"No"
"Ok, I'm gonna schedule you an appointment and then we will see.'
"Your such a good friend Miranda."
"It's no problem Liz."
"Please don't tell Ethan yet. Please. He has gone through so much with me yelling at him and all and I don't want him to be even more stressed."
"Ok, Liz. But you do know that if it ends up for the worst, you have to tell him."
"I know, but you will be there with me right?"
"If you want me to."
"Thank you soo much Miranda."
"Anytime"
A/N: Pretty bad huh? Well, should she lose it or no? Up to you all! Peace!
"Ring, Ring"
"Hello?"
"Hey, Miranda, it's me."
"Oh, hey what's going on?"
"Nothing, just wondering how your lunch is going."
