A Summer of Changes
Chapter 8:
"So," asked Gordo, after the mothers had left. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know." Replied Lizzie. "What do you want to do?"
"I asked you first." Gordo pointed out.
"No fair." Lizzie stuck her tongue out at him.
Gordo laughed. "You are so immature."
"Nuh uh." Retorted Lizzie. "You're too mature."
"Well, I am older you know." Remarked Gordo, knowing it would annoy her.
"By 7 months!" she protested. "In two weeks, I'll be 16 too."
"I know." He said. "I was just kidding."
"Well, I don't really want to mini golf." Offered Lizzie.
"Me either." Gordo agreed. "10 bucks says the parents will pass that off as some type of family bonding activity at some point in time."
"Yeah." Lizzie laughed. "Probably."
"Which brings us back to the original question." Quipped Gordo. "What do you want to do?"
"I dunno." Lizzie replied, resignedly.
"Well, lets discuss our options." Gordo decided. "Shopping is a no, mini- golf is a no, fishing is a no. We could go swimming.
Lizzie thought for a minute. "Ok." She agreed. "Just let me go change into my suit."
"Meet you at the dock in 10." Gordo replied.
With that, they were off to their respective bedrooms. Lizzie changed into her Hawaiian-print tankini and applied some sun block. She slipped into a pair of flip-flops, grabbed her sunglasses, a book, and a towel and headed down stairs. When she reached the backyard she noticed Gordo was already down there. Absentmindedly, she ran her hands through her hair to make it look neat. But why? It was just Gordo - right?
"I was beginning to think you stood me up." Joked Gordo when she finally reached the dock.
"Sorry, I had to put sun block on." She replied.
"Oh! Thanks for reminding me!" he exclaimed, as he jumped up to find the bottle. "I almost forgot." Gordo began to apply the lotion to his face and arms. He then proceeded to remove his tee-shirt.
Lizzie stared in awe. She had seen Gordo without a shirt a million times before, but she had never really paid any attention. She studied his arms and his stomach. He was no longer a scrawny little kid. He had muscle. She also noticed how tall he had gotten. She used to have a good 2 inches on him, but now he seemed half a foot taller than her.
"Hey McGuire." He called, snapping her out of her daze. "You mind doing my back?" he tossed her the bottle.
"Sure. No problem." She responded. She squirted some sun block into her hand and rubbed it into his back. More muscle. Since when was Gordo such a hottie?
"Thanks." He replied when she was finished. He noticed the look on her face. "Is something wrong?"
"No. Nothing." She answered quickly. Yeah right, she thought to herself. You, Lizzie McGuire are falling for your best friend. But everything is peachy.
After about half an hour of reading their respective books, the pair decided to try out the new jet-skis Gordo's uncle had bought. After they suited up into life jackets, Gordo started the engine on one of them.
"You ready for this?" he asked her.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She replied, somewhat nervously.
They got onto the jet-ski and took off across the lake. The sensation was like something Lizzie had never known. They were skimming the top, wind was blowing her hair, water splashing her face. She felt like she was flying. Gordo sped up and Lizzie grabbed onto him even tighter. He glanced back at her and smiled. He liked her holding him tight. He wanted to do the same right back.
"You ready McGuire?" he shouted, as he revved up even more. The ski shot across the lake like a bullet.
"Careful Gordo!" Lizzie screamed from behind. "Don't go so fast!"
"I won't let anything happen to you." He assured her.
And he didn't.
After they got sick of the jet-ski, they returned to the dock and dried out in the sun. After a while, Lizzie needed to cool off again.
"I'm going in." she announced.
"Ok." Replied Gordo.
Lizzie ran into the lake, the water was freezing! It felt really good on her parched skin. She swam out a little further, glancing at the island in the middle of the lake. She was just admiring the sparkles the sun was making on the water when she felt something grab her ankle.
"Ah!" she screamed, kicking. She was convinced that some lake monster had grabbed hold of her and was going to eat her for lunch.
Then, a wet mop of dark, curly hair surfaced. Gordo started laughing.
"Gordo! That was so not funny!" she exclaimed. "I thought that you were the Lochness monster or something."
"Lizzie, the Lochness monster lives in Scotland." He pointed out.
"Still!" she exclaimed. "That was very mean." She splashed at him.
"No you didn't!" he yelled, and splashed her right back. This resulted in a massive war of trying to blind the other person with sheets of water. Lizzie and Gordo were laughing hysterically.
Gordo paused for a moment to look at her. Her hair was soaking wet, falling out of its neat ponytail. Her eyes were twinkling once again in the summer sun. God she was beautiful.
Lizzie noticed Gordo's silent, and stopped laughing herself. She noticed he was staring at her. Why? Did she have something in her teeth?
No. That wasn't it. He was looking into her eyes. She returned the favor. She gazed into his deep, chocolate colored eyes. She could get lost in them. They both just stared.
Neither was entirely sure about what was supposed to happen next. But both had an idea, and both hoped the other had the same idea.
Slowly, and a little unsurely, Gordo leaned in. Lizzie followed. He raised his hand to touch her cheek, their eyes closed and their lips met. Softly at first, but when they both realized it, the kiss deepened. Lizzie ran her fingers through Gordo's sopping hair. He took her face in both his hands, and it got even more intense. Lizzie had no idea what she was doing, and was completely shocked when she felt Gordo's tongue enter into her mouth. He expected her to pull back, but she didn't. She just kept kissing him.
They finally broke it, and both looked as though they had been shot by a stun gun.
"Wow." Was all Gordo could say.
Lizzie, on the other hand, couldn't say anything. A million things were rushing through her head. She could not believe what had just happened. She had no idea. All she knew was that she didn't want it to stop.
She finally found words. "Um, I think maybe we should um, go inside."
"Definitely." Agreed Gordo. The both ran back to the house.
TBC!!!!!!
