The Perfect Night-Chapter 7
-Hey! So sorry it took me so long to update. Here we go. HOLD ON TIGHT!-
"Lizzie!" Miranda squealed from across the parking lot.
"Hey! You look cute!" Lizzie exclaimed. Miranda twirled around. She was wearing a long red skirt that hugged her hips with a white tube top and platforms.
"Thanks! So do you!" Miranda replied. They chattered on about clothes and makeup.
"They get so worked up about what they look like." Eric commented to Gordo.
"Tell me about it. It takes Lizzie almost 2 hours to get ready for school each day." Gordo answered. They walked side by side behind their girlfriends towards the entrance of the club.
"Has anyone been to this club before?" Miranda asked.
"No."
"No."
"Yes." Gordo answered. Lizzie turned around.
"Really? You didn't tell me that! When?" Lizzie grabbed his hands and smiled up at him.
"A few weeks ago, with Emily. No big deal." Gordo smiled back at her.
"Oh." Lizzie frowned and turned back around. The idea of him dancing with that stiff Emily was hard for her to picture. The gang came towards the door and they checked their ID's. Since they were only eighteen they put a stamp on their hands signaling that they couldn't drink. The music was fast and room was dark. People were crammed from corner to corner and only a small area was open that wasn't part of the dance floor. This area was packed with couches that occupied couples making out.
"Let's dance Eric!" Miranda dragged her boyfriend out in the middle of the dance floor.
"Do you want to see what's up there?" Gordo asked pointing to the open area above the dance floor.
"Sure." Lizzie answered dryly. She couldn't get rid of the image of Gordo and Emily there together. They walked up a staircase. There were video games and pool tables and a karaoke contest.
"GORDO! LET'S KARAOKE!" Lizzie squealed, her mood brightening, as she jumped up and down.
"Lizzie. . ." Gordo started.
"Please?" She gave him the sad face and knew she had already won him over.
"Okay! Okay! But I can't sing so be prepared." Gordo answered laughing and they went over to the books lying on a table to select a song. When they finally agreed on a duet, they signed their names to a sheet and sat down to watch the other performers. The winners won reservations for 2 rooms at the Renaissance, a fancy hotel. "Okay up next . . .Gordo and Lizzie. They will be singing Where is the Love? by Black eyed peas!" There was scattered applause as they stepped onto the stage.
"What's wrong with the world mama, people living like they got no mama's" Lizzie sang this part.
"I think the whole world is addicted to the drama, only attracted to things that bring you trauma." Gordo sang this. Lizzie looked at him with astonishment. She didn't think he could sing like that. They sang the whole song together, alternating parts, and at the end, the whole audience was cheering for them. Gordo stole a glance at Lizzie and her face was lit up with joy. He loved her so much. While the judges went to tally the results, Gordo and Lizzie hopped off the stage to go talk to Miranda and Eric who had snuck in the back and saw the whole performance.
"What's so funny?" Lizzie asked offensively as she approached the snickering couple.
"You guys!" Miranda said through her laughter.
"What?" Lizzie complained.
"You guys are very Sonny and Cher. Did you know that?" Miranda and Eric burst out laughing again and then Gordo joined them.
"It's not funny! We were good!" Lizzie crossed her arms and stuck out her bottom lip.
"Lizzie. Come on. I sounded horrible. I just did it for fun." Gordo placed his arm around her waist. "It's not like we are actually going to win."
"THE WINNERS ARE LIZZIE AND GORDO WITH THEIR PREFORMANCE OF WHERE IS THE LOVE!"
"I told you we were good!" Lizzie said triumphantly as Gordo, Eric and Miranda's mouths dropped open. When she had gotten the envelope with the hotel information, they decided to get something to drink. They walked over to the bar to order.
"I'll have beer." Eric ordered. The other three stared at him in surprise. But when the beer was handed to him without them even noticing his stamp, Miranda also ordered a glass.
"Lizzie. What do you want?" Gordo looked at her waiting for her to decide.
"I'll have a glass of beer." Lizzie said without meeting his gaze. She received it and sipped it slowly. Gordo ordered a glass of Dr. Pepper. It was close to midnight when they decided to go home. Miranda and Eric had only had one glass. Lizzie had had five. Now she was staggering around on their way out to the car.
"Bye Eric! Bye. . (burp) Miranda!" Lizzie said laughing at herself in a drunken way.
"Come on we're going home." Gordo said getting in the driver's seat. Lizzie opened her door and threw up. Gordo shook his head and drove towards his house. He wasn't going to take Lizzie home and let her get in trouble with her parents. He dialed Miranda's cell phone on his cell phone.
"Hey Miranda, call Lizzie's parents and tell them she is sleeping over at your house." Gordo requested.
"Okay but won't they want to know why Lizzie isn't calling them?" Miranda inquired.
"Yeah, just tell them she is on the phone with somebody and didn't want it to get any later before she called them."
"Okay. You two have fun!" Miranda giggled.
"Shut up." Gordo hung up and drove the rest of the way to his house. Lizzie had fallen asleep against the window. Gordo went around to her side and unbuckled her and picked her to carry her inside.
"Where am I?" Lizzie asked waking up.
"You are at my house." Gordo said smiling as he laid her on his bed.
"Oh okay." Lizzie said snuggling up against him with her head on his chest. Gordo tucked his arm around her.
"Good night Lizzie."
"I love you Gordo."
"I love you too." Gordo sighed with relief. He finally had the girl of his dreams.
-Hey! So sorry it took me so long to update. Here we go. HOLD ON TIGHT!-
