Chapter 11 - How Does He Know?

Lizzie was flustered, Gordo had just told her that he loved her. She had thought he had liked her for a long time, ever since Kate had told her so a few years ago, but Love? What is Love really? "And what makes him think he knows what it is?" she asked out loud in half answer to her own question.

"What what is?" Sergei asked. Lizzie had forgotten that he was still in the room, when Gordo had started talking to her, she lost her ability to focus on anything other then him, there was nothing else in the world except Gordo and what he had to say.

"Oh.. Sorry Sergei I forgot you were here, I was talking to myself."

"I see Miss McGuire, if you are all right, I'll take my leave of you for now to give you time alone. Are you ok?"

Lizzie smiled, "Yes Sergei, I'm fine, thank you."

"Just doing my job miss," he answered with a bow and then left her alone with her thoughts.

After a few minutes, she started talking to herself again.

"What makes him think he knows what Love is?" she asked out loud again.

"I don't know, but I'm really confused," her animated alter-ego answered in her head.

"How am I supposed to answer that, I mean it was so romantic, what answer could I possibly give?"

"Did I just say Gordo was romantic?"

She thought back on his words, "I like you a lot, no, more then that, I love you Lizzie McGuire, I love you more then life itself, and after all this time, I have to know, did you ever feel anything for me?"

"Of course I did, of course I do" she answered back the memory of his words.

"Oh sure, now that he isn't in the room I can answer instead of just standing here looking like a statue."

"Does he really love me?"

"Yes! I can be really dense sometimes! I mean come on, he said 'For you McGuire, I will wait all of eternity,' that was so sweet."

"But, do I love him?"

"...."

Lizzie thought back through her memories of Gordo, for her entire life, Gordo has always been there. Every time something would happen and the trio would start fighting, wasn't Gordo always on her side? "Yes." Every time Lizzie had been dumped by some guy she liked, was it not Gordo who was always there to comfort her? "Yes." Whenever she had some crazy scheme, wouldn't Gordo always try to help her out, even when he thought it was stupid? "Always." Lizzie was more confused then she had ever been in her entire life, but she had come to grips with the fact that Yes, Gordo did love her. So she stopped thinking of the past, and started thinking of the future, she tried to imagine her future with every boy she had ever gone out with, but she couldn't.

Every future she could come up with in her mind, Gordo was there. There was no future with anyone, even Frankie who was the only one who had not hurt her in the past. She had said it that same day, she couldn't see a future with Frankie, the only future she could see was Gordo. She didn't wait another second, she burst out the door and looked around, but she realized she wasn't sure which door Gordo had come out of earlier, so she ran back into her room and phoned the front desk.

"Front Desk," came a male voice with a french accent.

"Um, Hi, this is Lizzie McGuire, I know this is probably against your policy, but I need to know what room David Gordon is staying in."

"Of course Miss McGuire, it normally is against our policy but your parents and his had made sure that he had the room close to yours, so I'm sure it will be ok, he is right across the hallway from you, turn right when you exit your door and it is the first door on the left."

"Thank you," she said and hung up, she bolted back out the door again and ran to Gordo's door and started knocking vigorously, Gordo appeared a few moments later.

Gordo smiled brightly when he saw her standing in the hall, no matter what she had to say, he was happy just seeing her face, although he was concerned, she still looked flustered. "Hello Lizzie." he said.

"I Love you too David."
