My Fair Lady 2

~Chapter 13~

We walked down the silent streets, seeing our path easily by light of the street lamps. The night seemed to absorb any sound. I looked over at Lizzie. She was bathed in the moonlight. And again, her skin was as pale and smooth as porcelain, and her hair was a flowing river of gold, streaming over her shoulders, cascading down her back. My heart thudded against my ribs, making my throat constrict and my breath come short; making it clear just how much I needed her.

I bit my lip, desperately trying to ward off the overwhelming desire to kiss her. I reached for her hand. She looked up at me and smiled, and took a small step closer. I smiled, too.

Soon we were at the park. Lizzie saw the swings and bolted.

"Gordo, come on!"

Like I said before, about the running—off I went. I caught up, only out of breath because of her, and followed her to the swings. She hopped onto the nearest one.

"Push me, Gordo!"

I sighed dramatically, but came up behind her obediently and pushed her.

After a few minutes, I hopped onto the other swing, and was soon swinging just as high as she was.

"Hey, look!" she said. "We're married!" And we were. Our swings were moving exactly together.

We looked at each other and smiled.

And then we cracked up. We jumped off the swings and lay next to each other on the ground, sighing and laughing.

Lizzie sat up and looked at me. "Hey, Gordo."

I looked up. "Yeah?"

She hit me and cried, "You're it!" And she took off. I took a few seconds to gather my wits and then sprinted after her. This night excursion was becoming quite a workout.

As we chased after each other, dancing in the moonlight. Our laughter blending and ringing into the night, I felt my heart swelling.

"Gotcha," I cried triumphantly, lunging at her.

She yelped and squealed as we landed on the ground, rolling together over and over down the grassy hill. Aside from slight nausea, all I could think of was how close I was to Lizzie.

Woooo…settle, Gordo. Settle.

A Note: Huh. Well, sorry about that. I swear this chapter was so much longer than that. I guess not. This means, unfortunately for you all, that the next chapter is gonna be way short. But I'm still writing, and hopefully the chapters will start getting longer again.

Keep readin' and reviewin'!

Luv y'all,
