Lizzie walked quickly, her steps like that of an angry tiger locked in its cage. "I can't believe he'd call and hang up, while right in front of my house!" she let out a muffled growl of frustration and tossed her head back then stopped and took a deep breath. She turned towards Gordo who'd listened to her endless ranting for the past couple blocks. When he stopped and looked at her puzzled, she reached out and picked up his hand. "Thank you."
"For what?" he asked, confusion written across his face.
Lizzie let out a small laugh, knowing her moods must be taking him for a ride wilder than a roller coaster. "For coming with me tonight."
"No problem," he smiled, giving her hand a quick squeeze.
Lizzie smiled at him and changed the topic to the dance until they arrived at the theatre still hand in hand. "What do you want to see? Something with lots of alien guts, or a movie about cars?"
Gordo smiled as he carefully studied the movies and their show times. Lizzie smiled to herself and promised herself that no matter how awful the movie he picked was she would smile, because not only was he being nice enough in going with her, but he always let her pick the movies, and she'd drug him to countless 'chick flicks.'
"How about the new Kate Hudson movie?" he asked, tilting his head and looking at her.
Lizzie turned her head slightly and tried to hide the smile tugging at her lips, she couldn't wait to see that movie. "But that's a 'chick flick,' Mr. Gordon."
He smiled and squeezed her hand. "I know, and it what you really want to see. So I want to see it too."
Lizzie let out a happy squeal as she threw her arms around his neck and repeated thank you several times. She bought his ticket before he could pay then he bought her popcorn before she could stop him at the concession stands. As they made their way inside the theatre, Lizzie felt an tingle in her sense. Everything seemed so exciting, she just wanted to burst into giggle. Why, she wasn't quite sure yet, but as she sat down next to him in the theatre, she instantly grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers. Gordo glanced over at her and smiled. Lizzie returned the smile.
The movie was a wonderful break from the hell she'd been living in the last couple of days and she was completely in awe of the movie.
"It was just so incredibly great. So romantic. It's nice to think that there is a Prince Charming out there," she smiled. Her eyes danced up to the star lit sky. The sky a clear blue velvet with rhinestones glimmering in the moonlight.
She felt like she was flying because they were at her house in no time. She leaned back against the picket fence and smiled at him. "I had a wonderful night, Mr. Gordon." She laughed and looked down at her feet then back up out of the corner of her eyes.
Gordo gently placed a hand under her chin and titled her head back up. "I'm glad you did."
"I love being with you, because then, everything seems okay, and it doesn't matter what's going on, because I'm with you, and I'm safe," she stated softly.
"You're always safe with me, you know that," he answered.
Lizzie reached out and grabbed both of his hands. She smiled as he looked at her. "Is that a promise?"
"It's a promise."
She stepped closer and slid her arms around his neck. She leaned up and gently pulled his head towards hers until their lips met.
Gordo didn't move, he didn't even seem to breathe. With a soft sigh, Lizzie stepped back and smiled at him. She wasn't sure what the no response meant, but she would smile, not matter what.
Suddenly, Gordo put his arm around her waist and pulled her against him. He kissed her back, and the world faded away.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands toying with the curls on his head. She did not want this to end. This was too close to perfection, and if it ended she'd be pushed back into reality.
He broke kiss first and when he finally, slowly, opened his eyes, a smile tugged at his lips though he tried to be serious.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow at school?"
Lizzie smiled. "I hope so."
Gordo nodded, his expression showing that he clearly did not want to leave, but his logical side was telling him it was time. "Okay, bye Lizzie."
"Bye," she grinned, walking quickly up and letting herself into the house. She leaned back against the door and let out an overexcited squeal. She'd just kissed Gordo, and he'd kissed her back!
"How was the movie," her mother called from the living room.
Lizzie mounted the stairs and paused considering how to explain. "Wonderful." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Did you like?! Pretty please, read and review! And in good faith that you will review, a preview of what's coming up next:
