Secrets Between Us
Chapter 9
He Squeezed Her Hand
Saturday rolled around quick and soon Lizzie and Gordo were in the Jeep Liberty listening to the radio. Lizzie was having a good time munching on her wavy Lays while Gordo was concentrating on the road.
"Gordo, my parents have their turn signal on, are we going to turn into that gas station?" she asked nibbling on her chip.
"We are now," Gordo said pulling into the BP. "We don't need gas, we are almost full, but do you want something to drink?"
"Yeah just a soda. I will come in though cause I need to stretch," she said rolling up her bag of Lays and putting them on the floor. She stepped out of the car onto the parking lot. Gordo had come around and walked her into the gas station. They went back to the drink coolers and got two sodas. Gordo grabbed some gum and put the three things on the counter.
"Five sixty-seven please," the lady said at the counter said.
"Crap, I only have four bucks in my pocket. Do you got anything Liz?" he asked.
"Nope, I am living off of Dad's money, sorry!" she said pulling at her empty pockets.
"Ok, be right back," Gordo said running out of the gas station and getting into the Jeep.
Lizzie stood at the counter and sighed.
"Your brothers hot. Are you guys from around here?" the girl at the counter asked.
"Uhh, no we are on our way to Gulf Shores and he is not my brother, he's my boyfriend," Lizzie told her with a fake smile and rolling her eyes.
"Damn right I am your boyfriend! The one and only!" Gordo said throwing a ten down on the counter and kissing Lizzie on the forehead.
"Well that is certainly cute now isn't it!" said the girl rolling her eyes. Before giving Gordo the change, she took out a piece of paper and wrote some numbers down on it. "Here is my number if you and Blondie don't work out! And I am Ashlee by the way. And here's your change," she said smiling sweetly.
Gordo took the paper and the change. He jammed the change into his pocket and threw the paper into the garbage can on his way out.
Lizzie got into the Liberty and slammed the door. She crossed her arms and looked out the window. She sighed.
"Baby what did you want me to do? Its not like I could just leave the paper on the counter!" he said backing out after the McGuire's.
"Don't call me that," she said still looking out the window.
Gordo sighed. "Ok, whatever. I don't care if Blondie is mad at me for eighteen hours in a car. I think I might just go and find Ashlee and we can hang out," Gordo said knowing it would make Lizzie snap.
Lizzie pulled out her phone from her purse. She dialed a number and held it to her ear.
"Hi, is there room in your car for me?" she asked sounding aggravated. "Ok we will, thanks," she said closing her phone and putting it back in her purse.
"Turn wherever my parents turn into," she said still looking out the window. She wouldn't dare to look at Gordo.
"So, your gonna spend eighteen hours in car with Matt?" he said pulling into the new gas station.
"I never said the whole time," she said grabbing her purse and slamming the door.
Gordo put his head on the steering wheel. "Why the hell does this always happen to me!" he yelled.
He drove out of the parking lot following the McGuire's van. He could see Lizzie scooting as far away as possible from Matt. He could see her pull out her phone. He got ready for the call but never got it. He slammed the steering wheel.
Gordo's phone rang. It interrupted his thoughts about what a jerk he was being to Lizzie.
"Hello," he said into the phone.
"Hey, why did Lizzie get out of your guises car?" Roberta Gordon asked.
"Oh, she's just mad at me. Give her an hour in the car with Matt and she will be back in the Jeep with me!" Gordo laughed.
"Ok, just making sure everything was ok, see ya later!" she said to Gordo.
"Bye," he said closing his phone.
Gordo set his phone in the cup holder and turned the music up. He needed something to get his mind off of Lizzie. He saw Lizzie sleeping and could see Matt trying to torture her. 'Thank God for cell phones!' Gordo thought. He dialed Matt's number.
"Hello?" Matt said into the phone.
"Matt, I can see everything you are doing to Lizzie, so I would stop if I were you, k?" he said.
"Who is thi-?"
It was to late. Gordo had closed his phone.
His phone rang again. "Hello?" he said almost wanting to throw his phone out the window.
"Follow my parents," Lizzie said but then hanging up.
'At least she talked to me,' Gordo thought pulling into the Best Western Hotel. He pulled up next to the van and unlocked the doors so Lizzie could get in.
She opened the door and threw her purse on the ground. She slammed the door and looked out the window.
"Have fun with Matt?" he asked enthusiastically.
"Shut up," she said giving him a dirty look.
"Whatever you say Babe," he said running his hands through her hair. She pushed him away.
"Why don't you call Ashlee? Maybe you could hang out" she said rolling her eyes.
"Because I have a girlfriend, at least I think I do!" he said turning up the music.
She turned it off.
"Ok, Liz, I am done with your bitchy attitude. You either get happy or you get in someone else's car. This is supposed to be fun not miserable, k?" he said getting into the next lane.
She rolled her eyes and fell asleep on the arm rest.
Four hours rolled around with no gas or drinks so they pulled into a local gas station. Lizzie was still sleeping. Gordo rubbed her arm, "Liz, we are at a gas station, get up if you want." He then slammed the door and went to pump the gas.
Lizzie got out of the car and got money from her parents for the gas.
"Here," she said while shoving the twenty dollar bill towards Gordo. He took it and went inside and got a coke. He paid and came out.
Lizzie got inside the car and took Gordo's hand in hers. "Gordo?" she asked.
"Hmm," he said still having their hands intertwined.
"I'm sorry," she said with a nervous look on her face.
Gordo didn't say anything but he squeezed Lizzie's hand. She smiled.
