Chapter 7 Not 'Gordo' again
David woke up the next morning with a headache. He was still unsure about what would happen at the interview but he hadn't changed his mind he was still going.
"Sleep well?" asked Mrs. Gordon as he entered the kitchen dressed for the morning but still half asleep.
"Yeah, nice to sleep in my old bed again" he answered
"I've got breakfast ready if you want some?"
"Actually I was going to go around town and go out to eat then I need to take care of some business"
"Oh well call us before you get back"
"Okay mom" he headed for the door
"So how long will you-"
"Mom, I will come home"
"Yes Gordo, I know"
'Not that again' he thought. He still hadn't gotten used to that name. "So don't worry" he opened the front door.
"Gordo honey-"
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Could you please........not call me Gordo". She didn't answer so he went along and closed the door.
He went around town stopped at a restaurant and got breakfast. Now he was driving to the address on the crumpled piece of paper Ethan had given him. His could feel his heat beat as he turned into a drive way. He sat in the car so quietly he could heard the sounds of the tires turning on the pavement. He opened the car door and grabbed a small notebook and recorder before shutting it. Just like any other interview, right? Wrong; he looked into the eyes that met his as a familiar looking blonde opened to door the house.
~~~So how was this chapter??huh?? okay okay so the chapter isn't over I just wanted to freak you out haha....didn't work huh? Oh well keep reading!!~~~~
"I'm David from New York Paper. From my sources I found that you are the women who wrote this mystery love story?" Said David quickly, after a long silence.
"Gordo...." Said the women under her breath
"What was that?"
"Nothing I just" she looked away.
'No don't do that' the thought as her eyes turned away from his. He couldn't help himself now he had to ask, those eyes he knew them he had to ask "Could I get you're name?"
"um....yea........ yes.....I mean, it's Lizzie McGuire"
'No, you can do this to me it can't be' Gordo said to himself
"....Excuse me but wa....what did you say your last name was?" She bit her lower lip as if hoping for something. She looked back into his eyes.
"Gordon"
"You're not....... I mean.....Gordo?"
Gordo could deny this coincidence any longer it really was her he could tell. You could never forget a face like hers. "Yeah, yeah Liz it's, it's me"
Her mouth was open partly and her eyes grew big. "Gordo, I don't know what to say, I mean come in" she opened the held the door open to him.
"So......" she said after the both were seated in her living room.
"Well Lizzie it is you, isn't it?"
"Yeah Gordo-"
"Lizzie, do you mind not calling me Gordo?"
"......oh, um okay, David." There was silence between them for a few short seconds. "I don't know what to say......except I'm sorry, I didn't mean for us to-"
"I'm sorry too. Lizzie I did want us end up like this either. If it were up to me we would still be best friends but I guess........"
"It wasn't meant to be" They both looked down as if thinking the same thing
"Well where do I start I-"
"Gor- er.....David? Not to interrupt or anything but why are you here?"
He had completely forgotten about the story. After seeing Lizzie........Lizzie if this was the address Lizzie must be. 'So she was writing about? Me?' No it couldn't be but things made sense that way I mean those thing in the story were awful familiar....and. Suddenly Ethan's words popped in his head again 'Maybe you'll run into a friend'. He knew, Ethan knew but he had said he didn't know her name- he oh yeah he suddenly remembered.....
"Well do you know her name?"
"Yeah......" Ethan smiled and said ".....I know the address and listen...............'
Ethan did know who the author was. That's why-
"David?" said Lizzie after Gordo hadn't spoken in a while.
"Oh sorry I was just realizing...."
"Oh" Lizzie blushed
"I came here for an interview with the author of that story, like I was saying"
"Well I guess you found her"
'So she really IS the author' Since when did things have to get so complicated. "Yeah, I guess I did"
"Well then I guess you're wondering why I-"
"No Lizzie you don't have to tell me I understand if you-"
"David, I think you need to know"
David took a deep breath and clasped his hands together and laid them in his lap as she motioned him to sit on the couch in the room.
"Well...first of all Go-David, it was you. You are my..... you are the one I was talking about in the story. I guess I was trying to get though all this. Not that I wasn't over it" she laughed nervously "I just all of a sudden felt a need to write it; I can't explain it I just did. And David?"
"...yeah?"
"I meant it. Every single word. I'm just sorry I made that mistake, I wish things could have ended up differently ya know?"
"Yeah, I do. I've missed you Liz. I understand"
Lizzie blushed "Yeah, but still this is kind of embarrassing"
"Well it is for me too I mean I haven't gotten over you either. I still lo- " he stopped himself, he was moving to fast. "I mean, you were very special in my life. I didn't want to lose you"
He was playing it safe. More than ever did he just want to wrap her up in his arms and kiss her lips. But he couldn't. She looked somewhat different now her face looked nervous but at the same time very serious and clam. He hair was grown out and her messy curls hung in her face. She looked older and he could tell by her eyes she was both stronger and wiser than before. But she was still as beautiful as he had remembered and he could tell her heart hadn't changed; she was like a dream. So now he had to be careful he didn't want to regret. He didn't know how she felt about all this and he promised himself that if anything they would at least become friends again he didn't want to lose her again now that he found her.
"I didn't want to lose you either" she said. They slowly inched towards one another until they came into a hug.
Lizzie felt a tear fall from her face "Oh Gordo, you don't know how wonderful it is to see you, I've really missed you"
'Please don't call me that you're killing me inside'--"I'm sorry Lizzie I didn't mean what I said that night, I'm sorry I hurt you I didn't mean it, I confused I do lov, I care about you Lizzie"
They finally parted from their hug. Lizzie smiled as she wiped away some tears
"Just one question Liz"
"What?" she answered
"Do you really think I'm cute as hell?"
Lizzie blushed, but then he grinned and they both burst out laughing.
"So" said Lizzie with a smile. "Do you think there's a chance for us" she said half joking half hoping.
"eh......" said David "No"
"Me either" They laughed again "But we can be friends right?"
"Yeah, friends" said David trying hard not to sound disappointed. He had wished for them to become something more but Lizzie was in his life again and he was happy for that.
They began talking, telling each other what each of them had been doing the past couple of years filling one another in on what has happened the in their lives apart from one another.
"So Melania and EHTAN got together?" said Lizzie to David. They had been talking for the past couple of hours. She had forgotten how easy it was to talk to him.
"You sound disappointed McGuire you still wish you were with him?" said David. Things had loosed up between them now. He found it easier to speak without stuttering or repeating words. He felt the rush again the one he got when he was with Lizzie. The one that made him feel like everything was right.
"OH NO! I'm just surprised. Matt would be too, but not jealous he's got his own girl now"
"Oh really, who?"
"Her name's Lilly. She's so sweet, really Gordo. I'm glad for him but I don't know, Matt always seemed so slimy to me and she's so seems so sweet. I don't know, I guess opposites attract"
"Yeah I guess"-
"Oh Gordo I totally forgot about you're interview! Or do you want to do it right now?"
"No, I gotta get home anyway maybe tomorrow, besides it'll give me an excuse to see you again"
"Gordo! You don't need an excuse to see me! Remember I miss you. I really hope we can keep in touch after you go back to New York"
"Oh yeah, that place"
"Don't you like where you live, your job?"
"Well it's okay but I never really had a passion for being a reporter like I did directing"
"Well Gordo whatever you decide to do you'll be great I mean it you can do anything i believe you can"
He smiled "Thanks Liz"
"You're welcome Gordo......Oh my gosh I've been calling you Gordo haven't I? I'm sorry, but why the change in the name....I thought you liked Gordo?"
"I did, I mean you're the one who first called me Gordo........as well as the last one....."
"Oh...well do you mind if I still call you Gordo? You don't seem like a David you're a Gordo, my Gordo" She blushed after she realized what she said
"So I guess I better be going"
"Yeah...yeah, well I'll see ya tomorrow"
"Yeah, tomorrow" he smiled. 'Gordo again' he thought. He didn't know what it was but something about that name made he hurt again it made him think what could've been.
~The flowers that you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about what could've been
Makes me want to cry
The sweet words you whispered
Didn't mean a thing
I guess our song is over
As we begin to sing
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday of my life
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never know what could've been
On a cold and lonely night~
~~~~~~~Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I wrote this chapter a while ago but I wasn't sure if I wanted to make some changes. Anyway how was it? Good I hope that last part was some lyrics some a song by Mandy Moore called "What could've been". And actually I've never heard the song but I came across the lyrics and loved them. I have a couple of her cd's and I checked on the one's I don't have and that song isn't on them. The song isn't on any of her cd's so if you heard the song tell me cuz I really want to hear it!! Anyways if you guys review a lot I'll try harder to update sonner and get more chapters written okay? Well later!
