Dinner For Two Chapter 4
"That's a great plan, Lizzie, but I don't really know if we can pull this off. I mean, I'm not exactly great at acting. I'm more of a behind-the- camera person. And you know you're not much of a Julia Roberts, either." Gordo said to his new girlfriend.
"Well, we will just have to try. I know they mean well for trying to hook us up. It's just going to be really funny playing around with them." Lizzie giggled.
"Yeah. All right. I'll try and act. For you." Gordo said, smiling. Lizzie smiled, too.
"Okay, when I see them listening in on us, we'll start." Lizzie notified him.
Gordo nodded, and they started with their plan.
-------Inside Kate's House-------
"Okay, their food is finally done. It tastes really good, too. I should be a chef one day." Kate smiled at her three friends.
"Ooh, let me try." Larry begged.
"Well, I only have one dish for all 4 of us, and the other two are for Lizzie and Gordo. So we'll have to share." Kate told them.
They all sagged their shoulders and pouted. They looked at Kate with their puppy dog eyes, and begged without saying a word.
"Do you know how long it takes to make at least one of these?" Kate yelled.
"Fine." Miranda said.
"Good, Ethan, go bring these to them," Kate started and she saw Ethan staring at the food and licking his lips. "And don't you dare take a bite out of them!"
"Aw! Alright. I'll be right back." Ethan said and left to serve their dinners.
-------Outside------
"Here's your dinner." Ethan said. "Enjoy." He mumbled.
"Thanks, Ethan." They both said.
Lizzie nodded towards Gordo and they smiled at each other as Ethan walked away.
"GORDO!" Lizzie shouted.
"What's your problem, McGuire? Why are you making this such a big deal?" Gordo questioned.
"A big deal? This is a big deal. You can't just sit there, all nonchalant, and tell me this!" Lizzie announced.
"Well, I just did. And if you have problem with it, then I guess that we shouldn't be friends anymore."
"FINE!" Lizzie yelled.
"FINE." He yelled back.
They both sat there and acted irritated and annoyed by each other. They secretly smiled at each other, since the other four couldn't see their faces clearly.
Back into the Sander's household, Kate and Miranda were standing inside and looking out from Kate's glass sliding doors, and instantly became worried and apprehensive about what had just happened. They both looked at each other with concerned faces.
"What the hell just happened?" They both asked each other, not taking their eyes off of Lizzie and Gordo.
"I thought everything was going smoothly. What are they arguing about?" Kate asked herself and Miranda.
"I have no idea what is going on. What happened?" Miranda questioned.
"They look so mad at each other. Their arms are crossed and their both slumping in their chairs. I wanted them to fall in love with each other, not hate each other!" Kate complained.
"I know. Do you think we should talk to them? You know, cool them off, and get them to tell us what's going on?" Miranda suggested.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. And maybe we can get them to forgive each other for whatever just happened." Kate answered.
Kate took 2 pieces of paper and wrote something down on both of them. She grabbed a silver tray and looked around for Ethan. She walked to the living room, and caught Ethan watching a cooking show, she grabbed his shirt, and dragged him to the kitchen.
"Whoa, dude. What's going on? I was like, watching some guy eating eels." Ethan complained.
"Ugh," Kate groaned, obviously disgusted. "Ethan, bring these up to Lizzie and Gordo. Give the one that's labeled LIZZIE to Lizzie, and the one that's labeled GORDO to Gordo. Got that?" Kate asked.
"Yeah. I'll be right back." Ethan said and walked off to give the couple their notes. "To Miss Lizzie, and to Mister Gor-don." Ethan handed them their notes.
Lizzie looked up at Ethan confused and opened the note. She read it and smiled as Ethan walked off.
"Our plan is going well. I'll be right back." She whispered to Gordo.
Lizzie pretended to angrily stalk off to the Sander's garden, where she was told to meet Kate. Gordo read his note and looked around and found Miranda walking up to him just as Lizzie was out of sight. Miranda sat down in Lizzie's chair and looked at Gordo.
"What's going on over here?" Miranda asked.
"What do you mean, What's going on? Wait, were you listening to Lizzie and me argue?" Gordo asked.
"Of course, Gordo! Why are you guys arguing?" Miranda asked.
"It's none of your business, Miranda. Just butt out of it." Gordo said as he looked away.
Miranda became confused and tried to figure out what was happening.
-------the sander's garden-------- "Lizzie, what happened there?" Kate said to Lizzie as Lizzie turned around and found Kate looking at her.
"What's going on? I'll tell you what's going on. You and my other so-called friends set me up with that jerk! What were you guys thinking? Why did you do this to me?" Lizzie protested. "Why are you calling Gordo a jerk? I thought he was your friend? Your best friend?" Kate asked confused.
"Yeah, before. Now, because of you guys, we're enemies. So, I guess this is a thank you. I don't need that jerk in my life anymore." Lizzie started to walk away, but Kate gently grabbed her arm.
"Lizzie. I'm sorry." Kate said as she stared at the ground.
"Sorry about what? What do you think you guys were doing tonight, anyway?" Lizzie asked.
"Well. It's a long story."
"Tell me!" Lizzie demanded.
"All right!" Kate said furiously. "Me and Miranda decided that you two are obviously perfect for each other, and we were trying to set you two up because we knew that you couldn't do it yourself. So we planned this big date for you two and wanted to set the romantic mood, so that you two can finally admit to each other how you really and truly feel." Kate blurted out.
Lizzie looked at her emotionally and walked away.
