Hey! Well I am in Alabama still. This will be my third chapter here. Today
we went Deep Sea Fishing. I threw up three times. I don't like boats
anymore! I was glued to my boyfriends' arms for six hours except for the
times I threw up over the boat! Isn't that sweet? I didn't think he would
do that for me!
Enjoy!

Unexpected News
Gordo knocked on the McGuire's front door. It was ten thirty and he wanted to explain things to Lizzie.
Jo McGuire opened the door. "Oh hi Gordo! Lizzie is sleeping right now, but you can go up there if you want," she said opening the door wider.
"Thanks Mrs. McG," he said walking up the stairs. He quietly opened Lizzie's door. He didn't want to wake her if she was still sleeping. She was and Gordo thought she looked like an angel while she was asleep.
He kneeled at the side of the bed and just watched her. She opened her eyes slowly.
She opened her mouth to say something. "Shh," Gordo said. "I need to say a few things, ok?"
She nodded.
"Ok first of all, the whole Danny thing. I love you more than anything in the whole wide world. That is why I was so mad. I don't want anything to ever happen to you. This leads into the whole Stacy thing. I met her in Colorado when my parents made me go with them last year. She was the only person that I could really hang out with," he said stroking her hair.
"And I am supposed to believe that?" she said pushing his arm away.
"God damn it Lizzie! What do you want me to say?" he yelled.
"I want the truth Gordo!" she yelled back.
"Lizzie! I told you the truth! Why don't you believe me?" he shouted.
"I am afraid Gordo! I'm afraid!" she yelled with tears running down her cheeks.
"Baby, don't be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. I promise," he said climbing in the bed holding her. "I promise. I love you."
"I-I," she said sniffling and sobbing.
"Shh, I know baby, I know," he said caressing her cheek.
"Gordo! Is Lizzie asleep?" Jo McGuire yelled from the stairs.
"Yeah, do you want us to come down?" he asked leaving Lizzie on the bed and going to the door to talk to her.
"Yes, your parents are here and we have to talk to you," she said smiling.
"Uh, is this a good thing?" he said confused.
"Yes, it is!" she said going to the living room.
Gordo climbed back in the bed. He held Lizzie for five minutes. "Hey, I think we need to go downstairs," he asked still holding her.
"I don't want to, I am fine right here. And my stomach is filled with the butterflies!" she said sweetly.
Gordo laughed out loud. "Babe, I'll be there. No worries, k?" he said smiling.
"Err, you're a piece of work Gordon," she said trying to keep her mad face look real.
Gordo rolled his eyes and got out of the bed. He held his hand out for Lizzie. "Come on Babe."
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" she said. It was her turn to roll her eyes.
"Come here," Gordo said putting his arms around her waist. She put her arms around his neck.
He kissed her like she knew he would. Sweet, soft, nice-
"Are you guys coming?" Mrs. McGuire yelled.
Gordo laughed. "Every time," he whispered putting his forehead against Lizzie's. "Yeah, we will be right there."
He held out his hand and she grabbed it. "Do our parents know about us?" Lizzie asked looking up to Gordo's face while they were walking down the stairs.
"No, we can tell them later," he said dropping his hand from hers. She looked up at him and rolled her eyes.
"It doesn't mean we can't hold hands!" she said intertwining hers with his. "Hey Mom! Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Gordon! What's up?" she said yawning.
"Good Morning dear! Come into the living room, we have a surprise for you!" Jo said to her daughter and Gordo.
"I got the butterflies," she said whimpering.
Gordo smiled and kissed her forehead. "Its ok babe, I'm here."
They all sat down in the living room on the couches. Gordo and Lizzie sat next to each other on the love seat. He almost put his arm around her but he didn't want anything to look suspicious.
"Ok, shoot. Gordo and I have unfinished plans we have to take care of!" Lizzie said looking at Gordo and smiling.
"Ok, well the Gordon's and us, Matt included, are going to Alabama!" Jo said excitedly.
Lizzie looked puzzled. "What the hel-heck is in Alabama?" she asked not excited.
"Gulf Shores!" said Roberta Gordon.
"And what exactly is in Gulf Shores?" Gordo asked looking at Lizzie who had laid her head on his shoulder. He smiled.
"Beaches, malls, museums, and its right next to Florida," Jo said smiling. "We are leaving on Saturday and driving the whole day. It will take about thirty five hours to get there so we will be driving the whole day as well as Sunday. I am going to let you two have the Liberty, do you feel comfortable driving on your own?"
"Yeah, I'll drive cause Blondie over here might get us lost!" he said smiling and looking at Lizzie. She slapped his arm playfully.
"I would not get us lost, we just wouldn't know where we were, that's all! And Mom, you do realize this is Thursday right? We only have two days to pack!" she asked.
"Of course dear. The people from the condo just called and said they had an opening. So, you and Gordo do whatever you want to for about and hour and then come back here or the Gordon's to help each other pack," she said getting off the couch.
"Let's go Blondie. I have a feeling I know where you want to go!" Gordo said smiling.
"And how do you know that Mr. Gordon?" she asked smiling up at him.
"Just a wild guess! Come on, you have to go get changed," he said leading her up the stairs by her hand.
As soon as they got up to Lizzie's room Gordo pulled Lizzie to his waist and kissed her. She ran her hands through his hair. "So, what do you think about this whole thing?" he asked as she laid her head on his shoulder. They were still holding each other tightly.
"I dunno. I mean a whole- wait how long are we staying?" she asked.
"I am not sure, but I can finish your thought for you," he said kissing her forehead.
"I am sure you could! I will be ready in fifteen ok?" she asked him.
"Yeah, your fine. It wont take me long to pack so we can spend more time at the mall and more time on your packing, k?" he asked.
"Yuppers!" she said and saw Gordo smile.
"Did I ever tell you that I love you?" he asked.
"Oh, once or twice maybe, but you can tell me again!" she said rummaging in her closet for something to wear.
"I love you," he whispered wrapping his arms around her from the back.
"Mmm, I love you two," she said putting her hands on his. "Now, let me get something on and we can go to the mall."
Within twenty minutes they were in the car holding hands going to the mall. As soon as they got to the mall, Lizzie jumped out and told Gordo the plan.
"Swim Suit, tee shirts, shorts, jeans, and shoes!" she said bouncing and holding his hand. Gordo laughed and rolled his eyes as he opened the door to the mall.
They went into Pacific Sunwear and got a swimming suit that was magenta pink. They also got another one that was red with Hawaiian flowers on it. Gordo liked the pink one, since it was a string bikini. Lizzie laughed at his comment when he saw it on her. 'Whoa, you look-Whoa!'
"Ok, where to next Blondie?" Gordo asked holding her hand and the Pac Sun bag.
"Uhh, how about Murices? I can kill two birds in one stone there. Jeans and tees!" she said laughing.
Gordo endured two hours of shopping and looking at Lizzie in her new clothes.
"Ok, so now that you got everything, are we going to my house to pack or yours?" Gordo asked swinging his and her intertwined hands back and forth.
"Yours, you will be easier!" she said laughing.
Gordo put the bags in his trunk and headed off to his house.
