Chapter 4
Gordo's POV
Okay, I admit it. I kissed Lizzie, my best friend.
I leaned in and leaned in and then....
SHE leaned in!?
Lizzie McGuire actually leaned in to kiss me, David Gordon?
Wow.
Mm..I wonder what kind of lipgloss she's wearing. Her lips taste like vanilla or something.
We both pulled apart and stood there staring at each other.
I blinked.
Lizzie blinked.
"Uh...." I stammered.
"Yeah," Lizzie said.
"Okay," I said.
We stood there for what seemed an eternity. Suddenly, Lizzie began to giggle.
"What's so funny?" I asked her.
"It's just that...." Lizzie tried to say between fits of laughter.
It's just that...?" I asked.
"Well it's just that...." Lizzie stopped laughing and said rather calmly, "I had fun kissing you, Gordo."
She blushed violently.
"Really?" I said slowly.
She nodded.
"Uh...." I stuttered, "Thanks."
"You're welcome," Lizzie said.
After a while Lizzie said, "Fine! just admit it!"
"Admit what?" I asked.
"That I suck at kissing!" Lizzie buried her face in her hands.
I pulled her hands back.
"Lizzie, you're a great kisser," I assured her.
"Thanks, Gordo."
"So," Lizzie began, "Who leaned in first?"
"I don't know," I said.
"Okay, then."
Lizzie pulled out a tube of ChapStick and was about to put some on when I said, "Uh, could I borrow some?"
She raised an eyebrow at me and said, "Why would you need ChapStick?"
"Guys wear it, too Lizzie, or else they're lips would be cracked like hell."
"Sure, you could use some, Gordo!" Lizzie smiled.
I was going to grab the tube but she pulled it back.
"If you succeed to snatch it from me."
This is gonna be easy, I thought.
I tried to grab it from her but she managed to pull it away and shove it into the back pocket of her jeans.
Great. I'm not gonna touch Lizzie's.....you know what I'm talking about! She would think I'm trying to.....how should I say this....get some?
Anyway.
"Fine, you win," I said, "So...who's this guy you like?"
"Gordo! For God sakes, if you can't get a clue then I won't tell you!"
"Fine," I said.
Should I tell her the truth? Shoud I tell her I like her? She'l probably laugh at me.....but that was before we kissed.
"Lizzie," I said before I could stop myself, "I....like you. As more than a friend."
Lizzie stared at me for a minute, then smiled.
"I like you too, Gordo."
I've waited fifteen years to hear those words from Lizzie McGuire.....I never thought she'd say them.
Lizzie was blushing again.
"Uh...." Lizzie said, "...What time is it?"
"Ten to three," I said after looking at my watch, "I have to go home soon."
"You could go now, if you want, but you don't have to, I don't hate you or anything, Gordo...."
"Yeah," I said.
So we walked downstairs and right before I opened the door, I stopped and turned to Lizzie.
"Uh...Lizzie. Do you, uh, like, wanna be my girlfriend?"
