Chapter Nine
A week later, Lizzie and Gordo's project was becoming more and more clear. They each had a few ideas and exchanged them with each other.
Two weeks later, they were taking a vacation from work, and doing their own thing. Gordo was working on a script while Lizzie caught up with sleeping and worked on her wedding.
One day, Lizzie was going to have lunch with Ethan, and she walked into his office with some take-out. Unfortunately, she walked in on Ethan and another woman making out.
"Ethan!" Lizzie screamed.
Ethan jumped up and looked at Lizzie, "Lizzie!"
Lizzie glared at him, "What's going on here?"
"Who is she?" the other woman asked.
"She's uh. . ." Ethan said.
"I am his fiancée!" Lizzie said.
The woman's eyes widened, "What! Ethan! You never told me you were engaged!"
Ethan was speechless.
"Well, Ethan, I really thought you loved me!" Lizzie said.
"Lizzie!" Ethan cried.
"Ethan, I am sorry, but I can't marry a cheater!" Lizzie said and she threw the food at him and stormed out of his office.
Lizzie angrily walked to her car; half hoping that Ethan would run after her saying they weren't making out, but that didn't happen. As soon as Lizzie got into her car, and sat there with her head buried in the steering wheel. She was crying.
How could Ethan do this to her? Was she just not good enough for him?
~*~*~*~*~
Gordo was in his apartment, working on a screen play for a movie he was writing. This was his first attempt at writing a script, but he liked the story line.
It was called, "The Winner Takes it All," and it was about a girl, Laura, and a boy, Daniel, who had been best friends all their life. Daniel and Laura even grew up and ended up dating each other at one point. Laura cheated on Daniel, however, with Ian, and Daniel and Laura had lost contact. A few years later, Daniel and Laura ran into each other, and Laura was engaged to Ian. Laura and Daniel had to work together on a project, and somehow, Laura would fall in love with Daniel again and they would live happily ever after.
It was autobiographical in a sense, all except the ending. Gordo could only hope that Lizzie felt the same way he did.
As much as Gordo always thought he hated Lizzie after what she did to him, once he saw him, he couldn't find it in his heart to hate her. He never could. In fact, he was falling back in love with her.
Gordo was writing it when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Gordo?" Lizzie's voice answered, weakly.
"Lizzie?" Gordo said, sounding worried, "Are you okay?"
"C-can I come over?"
"Sure," Gordo answered.
"I'll be right over," Lizzie said.
Lizzie hung up the phone. Gordo wondered and worried about Lizzie. Was she okay.
A few minutes later, Gordo greeted a sobbing Lizzie at his door. He let her come in and they sat on his couch.
"Can I get you anything?" Gordo asked, "Coffee? Water? Some beer perhaps?" he joked, but Lizzie didn't laugh.
"No thanks."
"What's the matter?"
Lizzie sniffed, "It's Ethan."
"What about Ethan?"
"Ethan has been cheating on me," Lizzie said.
"Aw, Lizzie. I'm sorry," Gordo said, but he wasn't really all that sorry. He was only sorry that Lizzie had to go through all that pain.
"I feel so worthless. Was I just not good enough for him?" Lizzie said, through her sobs.
Gordo knew how she felt. He had been through the same thoughts when Lizzie did this to him, "Of course you are good enough for him. In fact, you are too good for him," he said and he rubbed her shoulder.
"I thought Ethan and I would last forever," Lizzie said.
"Well, if its any consolation, I thought you and I would last forever," Gordo said. He didn't really think about it before he said it. It just came out.
Lizzie realized what he was saying and that she did the same thing to him in the past, "I guess this is some sort of touché for you me or something."
"I didn't mean it like that," Gordo said, "I just meant that forever sometimes isn't as long as you hoped."
Lizzie called down a little, "I guess. I just didn't have any idea that he was cheating. He never had any hints or anything."
"Lizzie, don't feel bad about this. He is the one who should be feeling bad. Ethan doesn't deserve you."
"Yeah, but I feel so worthless. I mean, I don't know if I will ever get married."
"I don't know about that," Gordo reasoned. He hoped to be the groom.
"Yeah, but who would want to marry me?"
"A lot of people would love to marry you, Lizzie."
Lizzie looked up at Gordo, "You think so?"
"Of course."
Lizzie smiled, "Thanks, Gordo. Your fiancée one lucky girl."
Suddenly, Gordo wished he hadn't lied about that, "Um, well, actually, I'm not engaged."
"What?" Lizzie said, "I thought you said you were engaged!"
"Well," Gordo said, as he blushed, "I made it up."
Lizzie said nothing.
"I'm sorry, Lizzie. It was just that your life seemed so perfect compared to mine."
"Well, now it isn't," Lizzie said.
Gordo smiled, "yeah, but given the situation, I don't feel too good about it."
"Yeah," Lizzie said, "Neither do I. I hate Ethan."
"Join the club."
Lizzie laughed, and looked at Gordo. She searched his eyes, which were looking at her. Suddenly, she felt attracted to Gordo, like she used to when they were dating. In fact, ever since she saw him, she felt like she had some sort of crush on him that would be harmless because they were both in strong relationships. Now, however, it was becoming clear that she liked him.
She leaned in, hesitantly, but when Gordo leaned in as well, she didn't stop, and slowly, their lips touched, and they kissed for a few seconds.
Gordo, who was confused, pulled away, "Lizzie, we shouldn't do this."
"Why not?" Lizzie said, feeling even more rejected.
Gordo looked at her, and could tell that she felt hurt, "It's just not right. You are vulnerable right now."
Lizzie shook her head, "No, Gordo, I know exactly what I am doing." With that, she leaned back in, and Gordo went with it again.
As their lips touched again, it felt like electricity was going through both of their bodies. The kiss deepened and Gordo pulled Lizzie closer to him. Lizzie didn't stop Gordo when he slipped his tongue in her mouth. Gordo pulled Lizzie on top of him, with her left hand on his chest, and right hand in his hair. They kissed, both not really knowing what was happening, but neither of them wanting to stop. Both entangled with their own problems and issues, let go in these passionate moments.
Both of them were aware that what they were doing was wrong, and something that would complicate them professionally, but since neither of them pulled away, they continued to make out.
They didn't do anything except make out, but it was something that would alter their friendship.
