Dinner For Two
Chapter 2: The Truth
"You know, I'm not so tired after all," He stalled. "I'm gonna get something to drink." He got up and went to the kitchen to think of something to say to her. He fiddled around looking for something to eat in the kitchen cabinet when he spotted a bag of chips. Lizzie aggravated by his stalling got up and marched off to the kitchen. She looked at Gordo from behind with her left brow arched. Gordo got the feeling that he was being watched and turned around. "H- Hey Lizzie," he said nervously, "You want a chip?" "Gordo!" Lizzie whispered loudly. "What are you doing? I asked you a question, and then you just walk away?" She looked at him and she started to tear. Gordo noticed and felt bad. "Lizzie, why are you crying?" "Why am I crying? Why do you think I'm crying? I ask you if you have feelings for me, and then you stutter, walk off to the kitchen, and pretend like nothing ever happened!" She exclaimed. "I-I'm really sor-" Gordo was about to say something but got cut off by Lizzie.
"Wait, I need to tell you something first. Gordo, I know we're best friends, and we've known each other ever since we were in diapers, and that since we are best friends, we can't be anything more. But I can't help it. I want it to be something more! I started having feelings for you ever since you did all that stuff at the end of Eight grade, and I fell in love with you. And now, I feel really stupid because I know you will never feel that way about me, because we're only "Best Friends"" Lizzie rambled, quoting the words "Best Friends" with her fingers. (Ala Dr. Evil) Gordo just stood there, gazing at Lizzie, dazed and confused. 'Lizzie likes me?' He thought. 'She likes me? Wow. Wait, I should tell her how I feel. It's only fair. And now's not the time to choke.' "Lizzie, look at me," Gordo said softly, taking his hand and softly pulling up Lizzie's chin, so that her eyes were looking at his. "I feel the same way. I just never had the guts to tell you how I felt. I have liked you for so long, and never got the chance to tell you, because I figured that you would never like me. Good Old Gordo, Your trusty best friend. I always thought I would always just come in as second place while you lusted over Ethan Craft, or the next pretty face that came along. But now, I guess, I should let you know how I really feel. And now that it's all out, I feel so much better." They looked at each other, and Lizzie started to cry all over again. "Lizzie, why are you crying?" Gordo asked her. "Because, Because I'm so happy that you told me that! I have been waiting to hear you say those words for so long!" Gordo smiled at Lizzie, and Lizzie smiled back. "So what does that make us?" He asked. "Friend? Friends with benefits? Fr-" Lizzie cut him off yet again, but not with words. With her own two lips. Lizzie kissed him, yet again, but longer than the one in Rome. It meant so much more. More than they ever felt before. "Gordo," Lizzie started. "Yeah, Lizzie?" "I want to be your girlfriend. And I want you to be my boyfriend. And I know it's too early for me to say this, but we have known each other our whole lives, and I think it's a good enough time to tell you." "Lizzie, I would be more than happy to be called your boyfriend, and you can tell me anything." He smiled. "David Zephyr Gordon, I love you. From the bottom of my heart, I really and truly love you." She proclaimed. "Elizabeth Brooke McGuire, I love you, too. More than I have ever loved anyone in my life." They both looked at each other and smiled. They kissed yet again. "Gordo?" "Yeah?" "Are you done eating your chips? 'Cuz I really am tired." Lizzie joked. Gordo laughed and put the chips away. The two walked over the couch where they were supposed to already be sleeping in. Gordo gave her one last kiss, but then, it turned out to be a full on make-out session in the dark. "Lizzie, we better hit the sack now, before your parents start coming down here and find us kissing." Gordo said. "Eh, good idea. But not before I give you a good night kiss." Lizzie said kissing him on the lips. "Good night." She told him. "'Night, Beautiful."
The next morning, Gordo woke up with Lizzie's head lying on his shoulder. He smiled and tried to go back to sleep, but the sweet strawberry scent of Lizzie's golden blonde hair that was shining from the California sunshine kept him awake. He kissed her on the forehead and she slowly woke up groggily. "Morning, Gorgeous." He said. "Hey, Cutie." Lizzie said. They both looked at each other and gazed at the face of the person they loved without saying a word. "Need to brush your teeth, huh?" Gordo asked. "Definitely! Wouldn't want you to die from the horrible stench of my morning breath!" Lizzie laughed as she got up. "Same here, I'll go with you." They walked up the stairs together and Lizzie grabbed an extra toothbrush from the medicine cabinet and handed it to Gordo. "Thanks." Gordo mumbled, still obviously tired. "You're welcome." Lizzie smirked. The couple brushed their teeth and kept looking at each other through the mirror. "Hey, Liz. You got some gunk on your face." Gordo teased. "Hey! You got some gunk on your face, too!" Lizzie laughed. They both kept brushing their teeth until Matt walked in. "Something's," Matt started. "Wrong." He finished. "Wh-What do you mean, different?" Asked Lizzie. "Nothing," He paused. "Yet." Lizzie groaned, obviously ticked off by her annoying little brother and went to her room where Gordo followed her. Immediately after she closed the door, she grabbed Gordo by the shirt and kissed him passionately. "I've been waiting for that." He smiled. "Me too." Lizzie giggled. They smiled at each other for a while, yet again. "So, what do you want to do today?" Lizzie asked. "Anything, really. As long as it's with you." "You are too sweet, Gordo!" She kissed him again and went to her closet to grab a towel. "How about we call everyone after we both take a shower." She told him. Gordo looked at her smiling. "Ew! Separately!" She squealed, laughing. "Oh, damn, I thought I had something going there." Gordo said sarcastically. "Oh, you dirty perv!" Lizzie said jokingly. "You know I'm only kidding." Gordo said with seriousness. "Of course, see ya in ten!" "Ten? Are you serious? You take forever in that shower, I'll be lucky if I even get a drop of hot water when you're done." "Ha Ha, very funny." She kissed him on the lips and took off for the shower. * * * * * * * * * At Kate's House * * * * * * * * * *
"Alright, guys, here's our plan. We tell Gordo and Lizzie that I'm planning a fancy dinner party here at my house. They both have to get dressed in really nice clothes and we tell them that all six of us will be there. But when they get here, it will only be the two of them." Kate said to the other three who were involved.
"Kate! This plan is brilliant! It will totally get those two to realize they are perfect for each other!" Miranda said joyfully.
"I Know!" Kate squealed. "Here are our roles. I am the cook; I'll be making whatever they like on my menu. Ethan can be the waiter, Larry can be the maitre'd, and Miranda, you could play romantic music on your violin."
"This is gonna be perfect!" Miranda said, and both of the girls squealed, yet again. "Operation: Lizzie and Gordo is underway!"
"Wait," Ethan cut in. "If we're not doctors, why are we going to be operating on them?"
The three of them looked at Ethan, and Larry chuckled.
"Heh, Craft."
"Why do you guys always look at me like that? " Ethan asked.
The two girls burst out laughing and Kate kissed him on the cheek.
