All I want for Christmas is You-Chapter 5
SNOW!
*Goo. I thank all of your for you suggestions. . .but I'd really like to get her something besides jewelry. I get her something like that every year. Anyways. This story MIGHT not be done before Christmas. I'm planning on writing 2 chapters today but I got grounded from the computer for 2 days so I'm behind. That's cutting it short. So I vow to you I will try. And if not, I will carry the story over to after Christmas, maybe even New Years.
December 24th-Christmas Eve.
Lizzie woke up to the sound of laughter of little kids outside. She rolled out of bed, pulled her robe on and tightly around her. She pulled open the blinds and her mouth dropped open. The entire neighborhood was covered with a fresh blanket of snow. There couldn't be more than 2 inches on the ground, but it was enough to stand back and look at. Lizzie jumped over onto the lump on Miranda's bed.
"We are going to have a white Christmas!" Lizzie exclaimed bouncing up and down.
"Go away." Miranda rolled over towards the wall.
"Miranda!" Lizzie tickled underneath her chin. "Wake up!"
"No! If I wake up it means Matt isn't going to be here." Lizzie rolled her eyes and jumped off her friend. If she was going to be in a bad mood she didn't want to be around her.
"Come and get me when you are in a better mood. Enjoy it Miranda! This is our first white Christmas ever!" Lizzie ran out of her room and knocked on Gordo's door. When he didn't answer she poked her head inside. There was a lump under the covers with a mass of curly brown hair peeking out. Lizzie took a running leap and landing next to him. "Wake up! Wake up! We have a white Christmas!" Lizzie shook him repeatedly.
"Uuuugh." Gordo groaned loudly and turned to face her pushing his head out from beneath the blankets. "When are you going to get over this 'get up early' phase?" He ruffled her hair.
"Never. I'm a morning person." She mocked him by ruffling his hair. Gordo shrugged and smiled at her.
"Now what's this you say about a white Christmas?" Lizzie got off the bed and pulled up the blinds. Gordo's eyes got wide.
"Isn't it exciting?? I'm going to the mall in a little bit and when I get back we're going to play in the snow okay?" She asked bending down over him and kissing his forehead.
"Only if you do that again." Gordo smiled as she kissed his forehead for the second time. "Even better than the first time." He pushed her off of him and pulled the covers back over his head. She started tickling him through the blankets. He retaliated by sitting up and pushing her on to her back and pinning her wrists down with his hands to where he was straddling her. He stared down into her eyes. "Do you give?" Lizzie, being the stubborn girl she is, shook her head no. Gordo tilted his head down and their lips were about to meet when there was a loud scream coming from downstairs. Gordo and Lizzie sprang apart and ran downstairs.
"What's wrong Miranda?" Jo asked throwing open the front door.
"THOSE KIDS HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH A SNOWBALL!" Miranda continued to brush snow out of her hair. Jo, Lizzie and Gordo began to chuckle lightly until they were laughing hysterically. "It's not funny! I just wanted the newspaper! How would you like it if it happened to you?" She picked up a handful of snow form the porch step and threw it hitting Lizzie on the shoulder.
"HEY!" Lizzie screamed running out the door. She tackled her best friend but she shoved Lizzie's face down in the snow. "Miranda!!" Lizzie screamed furiously. Miranda ran back inside the house locking the door behind her. Lizzie pounded on the door. "LET ME IN!" Soon the door swung open and revealed Gordo. Lizzie lunged forward trying to get past him put he put his hands on her hips and held her back. "EEEEEER!" Lizzie squealed. She breathed heavily for a second calming down. She was suddenly aware of how cold it was. "I'm freezing!" Lizzie stepped in calmly and shut the door. She went to it down by the fire. Miranda soon joined them with 3 cups of hot chocolate.
"I really got to get to the mall. It closes at 6:00 today because its Christmas Eve." Lizzie looked nervously at the clock.
"I'll go with you Lizzie." Miranda offered.
"Someone's in a better mood."
"Yeah, I just figured. . .If he isn't here, I don't have to embarrass myself."
"What are we talking about?" Gordo asked obviously confused.
"Nothing. Come on Miranda, lets go change." Lizzie grabbed her friend and hurried upstairs. Gordo pulled on some shoes and a coat and shoveled the driveway so the girls could get their cars out.
"We'll be back by noon." Lizzie and Miranda had finally reached the car and were backing out of the driveway.
"Okay. Maybe after you guys get back we can start the dinner for your mom." Gordo leaned down on the driver's side window.
"Yeah, She's really swamped. I figure she'll probably be at the grocery store until three."
"Come on Lizzie! Roll up the window, it's cold!" Miranda hit her on the arm.
"We have to go."
"Okay." Gordo kissed her forehead. Lizzie smiled reluctantly and rolled up the window. She pulled out and headed towards the mall.
"You guys are so cute!" Miranda squealed. Lizzie sighed. "What?"
"We'll it's just that. . .we aren't really 'together'. I mean we are still just friends who like each other more than friends." Lizzie gripped the steering wheel glancing from the road to Miranda from time to time.
"You know you have him! Why does it matter if it is official or not?" Miranda asked kicking the heater up to full blast.
"Because. . .Like just now, before I left I wished I could have kissed him. Like really kissed him not just him kissing me on the forehead." Lizzie sighed in frustration.
"Just be patient." Miranda instructed as they turned into the mall. "So I'm guess you want to know why I wanted to come along?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"I've decided to chip in on his watch. If Matt was here, and I need extra money, and you had the money to spare, you'd help me out. So I guess I'll help you out." Lizzie slammed on the brakes and threw her arms around Miranda's neck.
"You are the best!" Lizzie said pulling into a parking space.
"I know I try. Now let's go get that watch!"
*I know this was short and boring. . .but the next chapter which I'm writing as soon as I post this one is going to be the BEST*
SNOW!
