Something's gotta give
- Well, lets face it. Sadly for me, I don't own any of the characters from Lizzie McGuire and hello! I don't even own the title. Oh well.
Chapter 6
"So basically, that's what happened between me and Scott's father", Miranda said after summing up her whole ordeal.
"Oh--- he's such an ass", Matt said clenching his fist.
"Matt, look, it's over and done. I don't like lingering in the past. But I think its sweet of you to try and protect me like that", Miranda responded.
"Yeah, well, I'm glad it didn't work out with that guy. I mean, because you deserve better you know".
"Matt, you're not half bad. You've really grown a lot, from being a bratty little kid, to, well, a nice guy".
Matt couldn't help but smile. *She's so cute when she looks at me that way* But suddenly shook it away. *Wait! What am I thinking? This is Miranda were talking about. Miranda, my sister's best friend Miranda!*
"Matt? Are you okay?" Miranda asked, zapping Matt back to reality.
"Oh, sorry. Just got lost in your eyes. I mean --- do you want some pies? I'm... I'm kinda hungry and well I was thinking maybe you'd like to---"
"Hello? Anybody home?" a familiar voice yelled from the front door.
"Gordo?! What---what are you doing here?" Miranda cried out running towards Gordo, to Matt's disappointment.
"Well, it's nice to see you too Ms. Sanchez", Gordo replied.
"Sorry, I'm just kinda shocked that you're here, in Lizzie's house, with your baggage. Wait! Your not staying here are you?" a surprised Miranda asked, turning her head back and forth from Gordo to the top of the stairs.
"Sure I am. Mr. and Mrs. McGuire kindly offered for me to stay here till at least after the wedding", Gordo answered.
"Hold the phone! What wedding?" Miranda turned and eyed Matt suspiciously.
"I'm not getting married. Lanny is", Matt replied to what looked like Miranda's relief. "And you're invited. Plus we need help with the whole thing".
"Okay, now that that's sorted---" Miranda continued, "does Lizzie know your staying here?"
Gordo shook his head. "I don't know."
"Gordo, you know she hadn't gotten over that little problem with you, and--- " Miranda hesitated.
"Don't worry Miranda, I'll stay out of her way and she can stay out of mine", Gordo retorted.
"Trouble in paradise, eh Gordo?" Matt playfully asked.
Miranda tried to stifle a laugh, while Matt continued with his garish explanation. "Remember what I told you before you left for college? There's other fish in the sea. Smarter and better looking", Matt smiled.
Gordo was about to oppose to Matt's argument when Sam entered to room.
"Hey Gordo, thought I heard you there. I was wondering if you can help me here--- I know you've just arrived but I'm in a bit of a dilemma".
"Sure Mr. McGuire, what can I do ya for?" Gordo asked.
"Kate's father just called and asked if I can help with the setting up of the hall for your reunion, do you think maybe you could help? I mean being the director that you are and all."
"Well, I guess I've got some spare time on my hands".
"Great. And Matt, you have to come too", Mr. McGuire ordered.
"What?! Why?" asked a confused Matt.
"Well, so you can finish your explanation to me about fishes", Gordo replied, putting one arm on Matt's shoulder.
The guys left five minutes later, along with Lanny who they found in the kitchen helping Mrs. McGuire with a late lunch.
Five minutes after that Lizzie walked downstairs drying her hair with a towel, completely satisfied that the smell of the cola had vanished.
"Miranda I was wondering if you've got time to---" Lizzie stopped in her tracks.
"What was that Lizzie?" Miranda asked walking towards her stunned friend.
"What is this?" Lizzie asked.
*Oh no! Gordo you idiot, you forgot to put your luggage upstairs!* Miranda though. "Um, Luggage?"
"Yeah Miranda I can see their luggage but who's are they? Oh! Are you staying with us? Yes!--- Wait a sec, I recognize that one right there", Lizzie said eyes wide in alarm.
"Okay, fine Lizzie, its not like you won't notice. Gordo is staying here, with you guys till after the wedding", Miranda replied, ready to duck for cover.
"What? And when did my dear parents plan to tell me this? Where is he? Gosh, this is not happening! Emphasis on the not!" Lizzie panicked.
"Don't worry, he's not here. He's gone with your dad to the hall. You can relax for a few hours".
"A few hours? Oh, this is gonna be one of those days."
