A/N- Heehee Update much? I think not. I am trying to work this story out in my head and thinking of what direction I want it to go in.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lizzie McGuire

Chapter Six

Lizzie walked into her apartment and put her stuff down. She took a long bath and thought about the day. She could not believe she had to work with Gordo. She was dreading every confrontation and every word. She hated how things were left off with her and him before the confrontation. She hated how she liked Ethan and lied to Gordo all because of Ethan. Gordo probably hated Ethan. Oh, wait, Gordo was engaged himself. She was probably beautiful and perfect for Gordo.

After she got out of the bath, she got dressed in casual clothes and waited for Ethan to come. A few minutes after seven, she heard a knock on the door. It was Ethan with the pizza.

"Hey, Liz! So, what movie are we watching?" Ethan said as he walked into the apartment.

"I thought we would watch 'Bambi.'"

"Bambi? Nice. That is the one with the deer, right?"

"Yep."

"Cool! I love Thumper!"

Lizzie smiled.

A few minutes later, they sat down at the dining room table and ate the pizza, as they were eating the pizza, Lizzie decided she would tell him. This is no big deal, right?

"So, uh, how was your day, Ethan?"

"Aw, Liz! How sweet of you to ask! My day was pretty good. I missed you, though, babe. What about you?"

"Well," Lizzie started. What was she going to say next? "I, uh, have a new assignment for an advertisement that should keep me busy for the next few months."

"Really? Cool. New shoe?"

"Yeah, as a matter of fact, we also have a new director for the advertisers."

"Oh?" Ethan said as took another slice of pizza.

"Yeah. In fact, you will never believe who the director is."

"Steven Spielberg?" Ethan guessed.

"No."

"Then whom?"

"David Gordon," Lizzie mumbled unclearly.

"David Gordon? How do I know that name?" Ethan said as he thought about this. "Gordo?"

"Uh-huh."

"No way! That is so strange."

"Uh-huh."

"Have you seen him yet?"

"Yeah. I saw him today. In fact, I am supposed to see him everyday to work on the advertisement."

"And you can't get out of it?" Ethan asked.

"No. But it doesn't matter. Everything will be on a business level. It will be like we just met, in fact."

"Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie! If there is one thing I have learned as a businessman, it is this: business always becomes personal," Ethan said.

"Well, this will be as businesslike as possible."

Ethan smiled, "Okay, babe. Just don't develop a crush on him or something. Who knows, maybe you can invite him to our wedding if things go well between the two of you."

"Don't count your blessings."

"Why? Is he still mad about you or something?"

"No, I don't think so. I just think things would be sort of awkward."

"Yeah, I guess that is understandable. But, just promise me you won't fall for him and this is going to be hard for you, but dress as unattractively as possible everyday when you see him."

Lizzie smiled. "I will try."

"Okay," Ethan said as he got up and took both of their plates. "Let's start the movie."

"Okay."
