REALLY SORRY!!!! READ ON!! I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON CHAPTERS 3 AND 4 BY THE
WAY. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!
David Gordon flashed his all too famous grin to his best friend Lizzie. He laughed as he saw how surprised she was seeing him behind the door. After junior high, Gordo suddenly had growth spurt and grew a good five inches taller than that of Lizzie. Sure, he was not taller than Ethan Craft, but hey, he did bulked up and looked less geeky than he was back then.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to give your best friend a hug?" he asked and outstretched his arms.
Lizzie froze then blinked. It really was him! he was wearing this crisp navy blue button down polo. His curly brown hair was still the same (think 1st season of Lizzie--Author). She jumped up and down and squealed and Gordo had to cover his ears to prevent his eardrums from bursting. Lizzie then gave Gordo a tight hug. He hugged her back and she could hear him chuckle. They let go and Lizzie let Gordo in.
"What a nice surprise Gordo, thank you! I'm really glad you're back." She smiled at him
"Yeah, me too. You know I wouldn't miss Miranda's wedding for the world. Besides, how can the wedding go on without the best man?" he coughed jokingly.
"Yeah, right" Lizzie joked. "So, where are you planning to stay?" she asked.
"That was what I was planning on telling you, do you know why I came in two days before my supposed flight?" he told her with a hint of "something came up and it's good" tone.
Lizzie thought for a moment. "No, why? Tell me!" she tugged on his shirt, waiting for whatever that reason was. She knew it was something good.
"Well, I was offered to direct this commercial and you know where the location is?" he grinned almost sounding like a game show host unveiling the correct answer to the contestant.
She stopped and thought for awhile. No. wait. OH MY GOD!!! She thought."Oh my God!!!! Here in New York!! That's fabulous!!!!" she hugged him tight. Gordo was gonna be based here for a long time. Oh joy! Wow! It has been a while since the three amigos were together on the same place and state.
"I already bought an apartment just five blocks away, I wanted to tell you as soon as I knew, but I wanted to surprise both you and Miranda, so. I arrived about 2 hours ago, I took a bath then went straight here." he said. We both laughed. Lizzie felt good inside. It was nice to be spending time with Gordon again. If ever there was one person who really makes her feel special without being involved with her romantically, it was Gordo. Sure he had a crush on her before, but she knew that whether he likes her that way or not, Gordo would still treat her the same way.
She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back then continued to proceed to the kitchen and open the fridge for food. Same old Gordo she thought. She followed him and sat on the counter as he gathered some ingredients and put them on the sink.
"What are you doing?" Lizzie asked. She was curious, what was this guy up to? Is he gonna-wait, he's gonna cook? "Actually I'm gonna eat these all raw. Of course McGuire I'm gonna cook, you're looking at the world's most amazing fettuccine Bolognese cook himself." He beamed/
"You? Cook? Since when?" she chuckled and look at him in disbelief.
"shucks, I'm hurt!" he joked placing his hand on his chest. "Ok, fine, whatever you say, but if you get to taste this you'd be asking for more. No, scratch that, you'd be begging for more" he said.
Lizzie laughed. "Oh really? Just make sure of that, 'cause if you don't you'll be banned from my kitchen." She warned. "want me to help?"
"no. I can handle this" he assured her while chopping on onions. "Just watch and learn" he winked.
Lizzie watched from the counter as Gordo chopped and sautéed onions and boiled the fettuccine noodles. "So, tell me about Jake, when am I gonna meet him?" he looked at her while mixing the sauce.
Lizzie thought for a moment. "uh, well. I guess at Miranda's wedding. He's invited, although he had not confirmed yet if he's gonna come." She told him
"oh, ok. So how is he Lizzie? Do you know when he's going to..you know." He hinted at her about the proposing thing. He covered the stove and sat next to the stool next to her by the counter.
"Propose?" she laughed. Gordo thinks it's still a sensitive topic to her, it still was but she tries to keep herself from not thinking about it too much to no avail.
"Well" she continued. "I don't know when, sometimes I think he has no plans of doing so. sometimes I feel like I'm not the type of woman guys want to marry you know? I feel like I'm gonna end up a spinster, like I'm gonna be cold and alone for the rest of my life and with Miranda getting married, people keep on pestering if Jake already popped the question.. it's just hard to answer them since you know you really want it more than they do. I want to get married before I hit 30. I know it's shallow but it's like every girl's dream Gordo." She said softly.
"Lizzie." he comforted. "You're only 26, you got so much time to be proposed to and to meet and date people. You're the type of girl guys go for to make their wife. You're special and beautiful inside and out. Don't ever, EVER think you're not good enough, ok?" he stressed.
Lizzie nodded. She was touched. Gordo really has his way of making her feel good inside like she was the most beautiful girl in the world and she loved her best friend for that, any girl would be lucky to have him, he was just so sweet.
"Thanks Gordo, you really know how to give me some ego boost." She said holding his hand. "I feel like my head's swelling already" she joked.
"Yeah, no problem." He laughed. "Oh, I think the sauce is almost done." He stood up and went to the stove, mix it a little and turned the stove off.
"Ok, I'll set up the table. Miranda will be here in a while. Boy will she be surprised or what." She exclaimed.
"Yeah. I can't wait. Lizzie?" Gordo called on her.
She stopped and looked at him. "Yeah Gordo." She asked
"I was just thinking but it's kind of ridiculous. Maybe at the eve of your 30th birthday if you're still not married, I'll marry you." He said.
"that is if you're still single by then Mr. Gordon!" she reminded him.
"Yeah I know. Maybe since we grew up together maybe we can afford to grow old together too, right?" he said.
"Yeah, maybe. Are you serious?" she knitted her brow as she was beginning to put the plates in place.
Gordo wiped his hands with the kitchen towel and carried the bowl of fettuccine alfredo to the table. "Nah.. forget it, it was a silly proposition." He smiled
Lizzie laughed. "It's clear that you're just hungry Gordo! Let's eat! I'm starving!" she sat down and dunked her fork on the spaghetti and put them in her plate.
She never felt this good in a long time indeed.
