The New...Everything
Chapter Four
"Hello? Mom?"
"Lizzie, honey? Is that you? I was getting so worried!"
"Sorry, Mom. I'm showing Gordo around."
"Who's Gordo, Lizzie?!" Jo McGuire was getting really worried for her little baby girl.
"Don't blow a gasket, Mom! He's new at school. He just moved here from Salem, Oregon. I'm showing him around. I hope that's okay."
"Yes! That's perfectly okay. You two have fun now! I'll see you when you get home. Bye, dear. Love you."
"Love you too, Mom," Lizzie ended the call on her cell phone. She turned to Gordo. "So, what would you like to do?"
Gordo was stunned, "You have such a great relationship with your Mom." Lizzie blushed. "No, really, Lizzie. You do."
"Well, thank you, I suppose. Now, onto more important matters. What would you like to do?"
Gordo pondered the endless possibilities. He wanted to pick just the right one, so he would get a good impression of the town. "Well, how does a movie sound?"
She looked at Gordo funnily. Out of all the fun things he could have chosen, he wanted to go see a movie? "Sounds fun to me. Oh, there's a new one out! Called 'Alex and Emma.' Oh, I heard it was amazing!"
Gordo thought she was crazy, "Lizzie, you do know that that somehow resembles a chick flick and that I am a guy, right?"
Lizzie smiled, "Please, Gordo? Next time we'll see what you want."
He smiled, "You mean, there'll be a next time?"
"But of course, silly!" she joked, trying to cover up the somewhat jumbled feelings she had for him. And she had only known him for day, and not even that long.
"Well, I suppose that if there'll be a next time, we could see 'Alex and Emma'."
Lizzie sqeauled with delight, "Oh my gosh! You're awesome!!!!!" She embraced him in a nice, tight, warm hug. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" she kepy repeating "Thank you" over and over again.
Gordo just smile, "You're quite welcome." They had been driving down the road a bit towards the theatre when Gordo had the most brillant idea, "Lizzie?"
"Yes, Gordo?"
"Could you maybe tell me a little bit about yourself?"
"Um, I suppose I could. Now, let's see. I was originally born in Jacksonville, Florida. I moved to Little Rock when I was three and lived there until I was about seven. Then, I moved here to Jackson. I am a natural blonde, which isn't always a good thing," she laughed. "I absolutely love to sing and write. My favorite fairy tale is the one about Thumbelina. She's everything I want to be, well, not her height though. I suppose that's about it. What about yourself?"
Gordo had to think. It'd been so long since he'd had to talk about himself. Normally, no one seemed to care enough to ask, "Well, let's see...you know that I'm from Oregon. I love photography or anything that has to do with a camera, and any type of camera for that matter. Maybe I could tape you singing or something one day."
"Um, sure. I guess that'd be okay. I mean, I've never let anyone here me sing."
"Not even your family or Miranda?"
"Nope, neither of them. You'd be the first."
"Well, that means the taping would have to be perfect then as well."
She smiled, "I supposed it'd have to be." A couple minutes passed, "Oh, look! Here we are!"
Gordo stared in disbelief, "THIS is a movie theatre?"
"Well, yeah!" she grabbed his hand and drug him to the ticket boothes. "Two for 'Alex and Emma,' please."
"Sure thing, Miss. That'll be $12," The ticket sales man smiled at Lizzie while she fumbled through her purse.
"Lizzie, I got it."
"Oh, no, Gordo. My treat. You're new in town. Let me."
"Too late."
The ticket sales man smiled and handed Gordo the tickets, "Here you are, sir. Enjoy your movie." It was now Gordo's turn to drag Lizzie. "He is one lucky guy," the sales man mumbled to himself.
