A/N: Wow! 40 reviews in 5 days! You guys are making me feel so wanted!
Haha! As long as you keep reading, I'll keep writing! So enjoy this chapter
and keep reviewing!
Random Side Note: Absolutely nothing to do with the story, but for those of you who are into new music and new artists, I highly recommend checking out Lucy Woodward if you haven't already. Her song "Dumb Girls" is incredible! I can't stop listening to it! I kind of wanted to work it into a fanfic, but it doesn't really work with any of my current ones. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to stray from my typical G/L plots! Anyway, now that I'm done rambling, onto the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lizzie McGuire.
A Summer of Changes
Chapter 11: Perfect
Gordo and Lizzie intently watched the movie. About halfway through Matt Damon's character met up with the villain of the movie, making for a pretty suspenseful scene. Gordo looked over at Lizzie, knowing how easily frightened she was. He watched as she squinted and covered her hands with her eyes.
"Its almost over." He leaned over and whispered.
"I know." She replied, a little shakily.
Gordo turned forward again and continued to watch the movie, which was actually pretty good. He was just grabbing a handful of popcorn and thinking about how Matt Damon wasn't all that bad of an actor, when he heard a scream from next to him. He glanced up at the screen quickly, and noticed a dead body had come into play. Next thing he knew, Lizzie was leaning into his shoulder.
A little alarmed, but not at all disappointed, Gordo tried to comfort her. "It's ok Lizzie, it's just a movie." He rubbed her arm.
Lizzie, realizing what she had done, looked up at Gordo. She was horrified! Had she actually done that, leaned into him? Usually she and Miranda were the ones cowering with each other, while Gordo poked fun of them for being wimps. What was she thinking?
"Oh, right." She replied, trying to recover. "I'm being silly." She straightened up, and returned to her original position.
"Don't worry about it." Gordo told her, reassuringly. "These are really good special effects. They almost scare me." He thought about it for a minute. "And if you get freaked out again, you know where to find my shoulder." He half smiled at her.
Lizzie laughed nervously. "Thanks." That smile. Why, after 16 years of seeing him almost every day, was she just noticing what an incredible smile he had?
She tried to refocus on the movie, but her mind kept wandering. She kept revisiting what it had felt like to bee in Gordo's arms. So safe, and warm. She felt so comfortable, like it was meant to be.
Next to her, Gordo was equally distracted. He marveled at how natural everything seemed. And she had initiated it. He had been patiently waiting for some sign since junior high. For once, he was beginning to feel that his unrequited feelings toward Lizzie weren't so unrequited.
They somehow made it through the rest of the movie, but not without their hands bumping twice, while reaching for popcorn. Each time they both tried to laugh it off, but both knew they were in for something more.
After, they exited the movie theater, and got into the car.
"So, what'd you think?" asked Gordo.
"I thought it was really good." Lizzie remarked. "And Matt Damon is really cute for an older guy!"
Gordo laughed. "Well, I was surprised. I thought it was pretty good. Not Spielberg caliber, but decent all the same."
Lizzie laughed. "Yeah." She agreed.
"And the company was especially great." He smiled over at her.
"You think?" she asked, going along with it.
"Isn't that what I said?" he remarked.
Lizzie laughed. "Well, I have to agree with you there Mr. Gordon."
Gordo laughed, and looked over at Lizzie. Her golden hair was blowing every which way, her face was lit up with her trademark smile. Gordo couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her for a best friend. Even if that's all they were for the moment.
Lizzie felt him looking at her. She suddenly grew self-conscious. Why? It was Gordo, not Ethan. Why did she care so much about how she looked?
"What, do I have something on my face?" she asked.
Gordo shook his head. "Nah. You're perfect."
Now that sounded familiar.
TBC!
