Chapter 9: The rest of our Lives



Lizzie sat under the tree with her head resting on Gordo's chest and his arms wrapped around her. She listened to his steady heartbeat and felt his chest rise and fall with his every breath that warmed her neck. For once in her life, everything felt right. She looked up at Gordo and saw that his eyes were closed, probably asleep. She looked down at his watch and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. *How long have we been here?* she thought to herself. She sat up and kissed Gordo gently on the lips. He began to kiss back and she knew he was awake so she pulled away slowly. "Hey, sleepy head," she said playing with his curls. "You know, I like your wake up calls," he joked yawning. She laughed and gave him another short kiss. "Come on, we have to go," she said standing up. "Why what time is it?" he asked also standing up. "Nine o'clock'," she answered. "Uh-oh," he said grabbing her hand as they started walking to her house.

They walked in silence until they got to her doorstep. "I'll see you later," he said kissing her cheek. "I love you," she answered wrapping her arms around his neck. "I love you too," he said taking her arms off his shoulders and instead putting her hands in his and giving her a quick kiss. Are you sure your parents won't get mad at you for being out so late with me?" he asked. She shook her head, "They don't even know we're together, remember?" she said pulling him into another kiss just as her parents opened the door. "They do now," he said taking a step far away from her.

Mrs. McGuire looked positivly thrilled while Mr. McGuire looked like he could kill Gordo. "Uh, hi, mom, dad," Lizzie said with a nervous smile, "I believe you know Gordo, my new boyfriend." Mrs. McGuire put a hand to her mouth and looked like she was fighting back tears. "Boyfriend?" asked Mr. McGuire angrily. "Come on, Sam. It was bound to happen sooner or later," she said trying to calm down her husband. "What?" Lizzie asked confused. "We could tell just by the way you two would look at eachother that you were in love," she explained, "and no matter what anybody says, its not impossible to love at fourteen."

"Thanks, Mom," Lizzie said thankfully. "Now say your good byes so Lizzie can come in," she said and she closed the door. "Sorry," Gordo said. "For what?" she asked wrappin her arms back around his neck. "For getting you in trouble," he answered putting his hands on her waist. "You didn't get me into trouble, I got myself into it. Well I better go. Love ya." she said sweetly. "I love you to," he answered giving her a short kiss then leaving.

Lizzie walked into the kitchen with a smile stamped all over her face. "Lizzie," her mom said, "My ~and~ your father are both very happy for you and Gordo." her mom said. "But, unfortunatly, we have to punish you for being late, so no seeing Gordo for a month outside of school." Lizzie could tell be the look on her face that it wasn't her mom's decision. "But that's not fair! And why a month? I was only late by a few minutes!" she said tears streaming her eyes. "I'm sorry," her mom said. Lizzie dashed up to her room and threw herself on her bed and cried, *It's not fair,* she thought.

She was lying there for about a half hour when she heard something at her window. She ran over to it and opened it only to see Gordo with a fist full of pebbles waving at her. She smiled waving back and carefully climbed down the tree next to her window. As soon as her feet hit the ground Gordo wrapped her in his arms. "I missed you," he said planting a kiss on her soft lips. "We've only been apart for like, an hour," she laughed returning the kiss. "You want to go out after school?" he asked looking deep into her eyes. "I can't. My parents grounded me from you for a month," she said gloomily, "and they'll be calling your parents anytime to I bet."

Gordo shrugged, "That's okay," he said. "What do you mean?" she asked confused. "Well the way I see it, our parents can only control our lives for so long, and once that period is over, we make our own descisions," he explained. Lizzie gave him a confused look, "And-"

"So, Lizzie, this is only a month out of our whole lives. Because Lizzie, we're going to spend the rest of our lives together, one month won't make a difference." he concluded. She smiled, "That's so sweet, Gordo," she said looking into his crystal blue eyes. They leaned in and kissed eachother lightly. They pulled apart and smiled at eachother. She sighed and rested her head on her chest and listened to his heart's steady beat. His words kept echoing in her mind, 'the rest of our lives together'. She could hardly wait.

The End. For good this time----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
