It's Your Turn To Win
Summary: "It's your turn to win." Those words remained etched into Lizzie's mind. Now, with another murder mystery party approaching, Lizzie's determined to show Gordo that the feelings for one another are mutual.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Lizzie McGuire characters. All of them were created by Disney. The idea is mine at least I've never seen another story with my exact plot nor am I willing to search through 60 some pages for any story of this nature. Therefore, I'm claiming this idea as mine own.
Author's Note: TONS OF FLUFF!!!!
Thousands of stars already scattered the sky, burning brightly over the darkened city. A comforting breeze swept through the abandoned neighborhood casting a hypnotic spell on all who dwell there. Taking note of the current situation, Gordo quickly retreated back inside to grab a candle as a source of light. Cautiously he set it on the corner of the porch and finally rose to look at the face of his best friend.
"Well we did it! Together! Congratulations and thank you old chap!" Lizzie's cheerful tone indicated that she was indeed over the whole Kate trying to kill her thing. A faint flicker of light from the candle highlighted the right side of her face.
"Congratulations to you too! I mean I never could have done it without you by my side nor would I have it any other way. You were amazing! Not that you're ever not amazing, I mean you're always wonderful." Gordo barely stumbled through his words. He had to change the topic quickly before she suspected anything. "Sorry I had to surprise you about the whole Kate trying to kill you detail but I didn't want you to dwell on it during the entire party." Lizzie's eyes started to well up with tears again at the mention of her death.
'Oh no, what have I done?' Gordo thought to himself, 'Here I am trying to tell my best friend who I have known since I was a baby that I love her and instead I make her cry! Quick do something!'
"Lizzie I'm so sorry. Please don't cry. It was just a game. It's not like Kate would have really killed you, heck she didn't even know her character was the murderer."
"I know that it wasn't real and to be honest I have no idea why I'm so emotional about it. I guess it's just kind of eerie to find out you should dead, even if it is make believe." Lizzie's tears had slowed down but her voice continued to shake.
"Lizzie look at me." With that Lizzie stopped sobbing and looked into Gordo's gorgeous blue eyes. She felt like she was under his spell and whatever he wanted she would do. "Lizzie listen to me. Nothing will ever happen to you as long as I'm here. I refuse to let even a single strand of your golden hair to be damaged by anyone. I'm always going to be here for you McGuire whether you like it or not. I'm never going to leave your side. Sorry to break it to you but you're stuck with me."
Lizzie's face immediately brightened up and she launched herself at Gordo, nearly knocking him down. Gordo could honestly feel his face turn blue from lack of oxygen but it didn't matter. Lizzie was in his arms and all was right in the world. He gladly embraced her back and couldn't help but get a whiff of her cucumber melon shampoo.
Lizzie's tear streaked face looked up at Gordo's while she asked, "Do you really mean it?"
"Of course I do Lizzie; I would never lie to you. I would rather be sent to my grave then see you hurt emotionally or physically. I would do anything for you just to make you happy. You mean the world to me and I can't even imagine my life without you." This was it. It was now or never. "Lizzie I.," but he was interrupted by Lizzie.
"Gordo?" Lizzie asked innocently.
"What?" Gordo kept his voice low to hide the disappointment that he just lost his chance.
Suddenly a soft pressure was applied to his lips causing his eyes to instinctively close. It happened so fast Gordo couldn't even comprehend what was going on but he knew whatever it was, it was giving him the greatest feeling of joy he had ever felt before. All too soon the pressure was released and Gordo suddenly realized how short of breath he was, but for some reason it didn't matter. If he was comprehending the situation right, which at the time seemed highly unlikely, his best friend Lizzie McGuire, the girl he was madly in love with, had just kissed him. Gordo's mind raced, contemplating all the reasons why it must not be true that she had just kissed him. He was Gordo, the best friend, the doormat, the guy in her life that was always preceded by her father and the infamous Ethan Craft, the person always told "Not helping Gordo!" whenever he screwed up, the short, last resort date to dances. Why on Earth would Lizzie McGuire have kissed him? There was no logical explanation whatsoever and yet his lips told him otherwise.
Gordo's hour-long pause caused Lizzie to blush feverishly. Had she made a mistake by kissing him? Her heart told her to do it and so she followed through. She didn't regret the kiss one bit. It was the most amazing kiss she had ever receive even despite the fact that Gordo wasn't exactly expecting it. All the kisses in her history were second rate compared to Gordo's. Something about kissing him just felt right in a way that words couldn't describe. As strange as it might be, Lizzie almost had this feeling that that was her purpose on earth; to be with Gordo, not only as his friend but as his girlfriend and someday his wife. She knew that there would never be another person that she could care so deeply about and yet she risked her entire friendship with that one kiss.
Lizzie just couldn't take anymore of the silence and finally found her voice, "Gordo I'm so sorry. Just forget anything ever happened. I'll talk to you tomorrow." And with that Lizzie frantically raced toward the street, tears once again forming in her eyes. But just before she made it to the sidewalk, an arm gently spun her around, and almost immediately her mouth was met with that of her best friend's. The kiss seemed even more surreal than the first one and both participants enjoyed every second of it. When the kiss finally ended, Gordo was the first to speak.
"Lizzie I don't want to forget that it ever happened. I know you might not feel the same as me but it's time I finally said this. I want to be the one who gets referred to as Lizzie's boyfriend. I want to be the one who is always there to catch you. I want to be the one who spends every waking moment with you. Lizzie I love you."
For the third time that night, salty tears streamed down her face, this time however they were signs of joy. "David Gordon the only thing I love more than you is the thought of being your girlfriend."
Gordo's eyes sparkled like a young child's at Christmas and he slowly pulled Lizzie into a long, passionate kiss, marking the first of many to come under their official title of girlfriend and boyfriend.
As they pulled apart, Lizzie whispered, "It's our turn to win."
Author's Note: I warned ya there'd be a lot of fluff. What can I say? It's sickening but I love it. I'm a helpless romantic. I know it's been long enough huh? I mean I told you guys like five months ago not to worry this chapter would be up soon and look how that turned out. I'm reallyyyyyyyyy sorry about the delay but life has been unusually hectic over the past months and somewhere along the line this story got pushed aside but I hope it was worth the wait. I hope I didn't lose too many of my loyal readers but then again new readers are always welcome!!! Several ideas have floated through my mind as to what to do with this story and in the end it'll probably come down to you guys, the reviewers. Here are the three possible scenarios:
I continue on with this story by adding more chapters. I have heard this request from several people but my only hesitation is that I don't know where to take it from here. Of course I am always open for suggestions.
I continue on with this story through the use of a sequel which then gives me the option of fast forwarding to a time in the future. Once again, though, I am a little stuck on some promising ideas for the plot.
I create several new stories each one having no relationship to each other but acting as sequels to the Lizzie McGuire episodes similar to this. For example, this was a sequel to the episode "Clueless". My next story, should I choose to go this route, would probably be a sequel to "Bye, Bye, Hillridge Junior High". Most likely my story would describe them graduating high school (under the assumption that this story never took place). This is perhaps the scenario that I have been able to brainstorm the most ideas.
Of course there is nothing preventing me from doing all three scenarios. Review, give me some feedback and opinions and hopefully the next time I make a post on fanfiction will be much sooner than 5 months after my promise. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
