The Perfect Night-Chapter 3
*Hola- I love you guys. . .thanks for reviewing so much. This is by far the most reviews I've ever gotten in such a small period of time.
Gordo pulled his truck up to the edge of the field. He had told Lizzie to shut her eyes about two minutes ago but he could tell she was dying to know where they were. Gordo shut off the ignition, hopped out and ran around to the passenger side. He opened the door and pulled Lizzie who still had her eyes closed.
"Okay, open!" Gordo smiled at as Lizzie opened her eyes and then frowned in disappointment.
"A field?" Lizzie asked.
"Yes, but that's not the surprise. Come here." Gordo grabbed Lizzie's hand and took off running through the tall grass.
"Gordo! Where are we going?" Lizzie squealed as she tried to keep up with him. But of course she was in heels.
"You'll see." Gordo laughed as they continued to run. They slowed to a stop by a big oak tree and Gordo sat down. Lizzie just stood there.
"Care to sit?" Gordo asked her motioning towards the ground.
"Um. . .These are $40 pants." Lizzie smiled. She had been so stupid to wear her Vorcachie pants with a red halter top.
"Okay then sit here." Gordo pulled Lizzie's hand and she sat down on his lap and leaned back against the tree. He felt her bare skin from her back against his cheek.
"Gordo? Why did you bring me here?" Lizzie turned her head to look at him.
"What time is it?" Gordo asked.
"It's 7:14 but that didn't answer. . ." Gordo cut her off.
"Look. . ." Lizzie turned her head back. She saw the sun setting behind the hills.
"Gordo it's beautiful." They stared at it for a while. Both enjoying each other's company and not really sure what to make of it. Clouds started to build up behind them. Lizzie looked at her watch again. 7:53. Long after the sun had gone down. They'd been sitting there for a while.
"Gordo, we'd better get back. It looks like its about to rain." Lizzie moved from his warm embrace and shivered.
"Here." Gordo pulled his hoodie over his head and tossed it to her. She slipped it on, taking in the smell of his cologne.
"Thanks." They set out towards the car, walking slowly, not wanting there night to end. Before they were halfway there, a raindrop hit Gordo. He turned to look at Lizzie and she acknowledged that she'd felt one too. Then it let loose. It started pouring rain. Gordo grabbed Lizzie's hand and they made a dash for the car.
"AH!" Lizzie cried.
"What?" Gordo turned back.
"I slipped!" Lizzie sat up from her position on the ground. "My pants are soaked. So is your sweatshirt. Sorry!"
"It's okay, just keep it." Gordo held out his hand to help her up. Lizzie grabbed it but instead of getting up she pulled him down on top of her.
"I'm too lucky to have a friend like you." Lizzie whispered. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Water dripped off Gordo's face and on to hers.
"The strange thing is we are friends." Gordo smiled.
"Don't you want to be more?" Lizzie asked seductively.
"More than anything." Gordo answered. He leaned his lips into hers and the rest of the world melted away. Their fireworks lit up the night sky. Gordo pulled away and searched Lizzie's face for validation. She smiled. He stood up and pulled her to her feet. Then he picked her up in his arms and twirled her around. She laughed and when he finally put her down she stared up into his eyes. "I can't believe I hadn't seen this all along." She thought.
"So what happened?" Miranda asked her eagerly.
"We went to a field and watched the sunset. Then it started raining so we were trying to run to the car, but I slipped and fell and he tried to help me up but I pulled him on top of me and we kissed." Lizzie rolled over on her bed.
"EEK! Girl! You and Gordo! I never would have thought!" The two girls squealed.
"Yea, we are going to the fair tonight. Do you and Eric want to come along?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah that sounds like fun!" Eric was Miranda's boyfriend. They'd be going out since freshman year.
"Okay lemme call Gordo and I'll tell him and you call Eric and ask if he wants to go. Then call me back."
"Okay, bye Lizzie." They hung up and Lizzie picked up the receiver and dialed Gordo's number.
Gordo: Hello? Lizzie: Hey! Gordo: Hey beautiful. "HOW SWEET!" Lizzie thought in her head. Lizzie: Do you think it would be okay if Miranda and Eric went with us to the fair tonight? Gordo: That sounds like a lot of fun! Lizzie: Yeah, I thought so too! So I'll call them back and tell them? Gordo: Sounds great. Lizzie: Okay. . .Well bye. Gordo: Bye. . .
"What do you want to ride?" Gordo ask Lizzie. Lizzie looked around.
"Um, I'm not really much of a ride person." Lizzie admitted sheepishly.
"How about a really slow one? Please?" Gordo looked at her with a puppy dog look.
"Ugh. Okay! What ride?" Lizzie entwined her fingers with his.
"How about the Ferris Wheel?"
"NO! I'm scarred of heights!"
"Come on Lizzie! I'll be right there beside you! I wouldn't let anything happen to you." Gordo turned to face her and kissed her hands softly. "I promise."
"Okay, I'll go." Lizzie gave in and they made their way towards the Ferris wheel. Miranda and Eric had gone on the Kamikaze and Eric had gotten sick so they were in the bathroom. They reached the entrance of the wheel and paid their admission. The attendant sat them in their on gondola and set them on their way. Gordo could tell Lizzie was getting nervous, as they got higher. He put his arm around her should and she snuggled up next to him.
"Just don't look down." Gordo recommended. They made several circles and then they stopped at the top.
"GORDO!" Lizzie cried out. She clung to him.
"Lizzie, its okay." Gordo held her head in between his hands. "Look, you can see the firework show!"
"It's really pretty from up here." Lizzie said relaxing a little bit.
"You are really pretty." Lizzie looked at him and smiled. "Lizzie, I know its kinda sudden and I know you are still upset about Ryan, but do you think you'd ever consider going to Prom with me?" Gordo asked her nervously. Lizzie giggled.
"Yes, I think I'd consider it." Gordo sighed with relief. It was the Fireworks finale section. And as their lips met, bright lights lit up the sky.
-hey sorry if this chapter was a little spread out. It wasn't as well put as my others but you know. . .I've got some really good ideas for the next chapters. Until then-I'm out.
