DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lizie McGuire, don't sure me.

AND A WARNING: things get steamy between Lizzie and Gordo in this chapter, but not too steamy- but if you're offended, please do not read or reply with a bad comment

Lizzie slowly opened her eyes. "We're almost there, baby." Gordo said. Lizzie continued to snuggle against him until they actually parked outside the amphitheater. Gordo told Lizzie that he had another surprise for Lizzie. He knew that she had always wanted to sing live in front of a huge crowd, and ever since the end of eighth grade, many people had become interested in her singing, and he had been playing bass for quite a while, and he had been playing for Lizzie's songs lately- so he had gotten permission for them to open up for the band they were here to see.

"Oh my God! Gordo, you're so great!" Lizzie screamed when she heard the news. She pulled him into a kiss, but it was soon interrupted by a man walking in and saying, "You're onstage in five, you two." Lizzie quickly freshened up and Gordo got his bass tuned and ready. They both went out onstage to find out that many people in the crowd recognized them. Lizzie began singing. After about 8 songs, she and Gordo decided it was time that they stopped, they were both pretty tired from the ride and the performance they had just given.

Once they were backstage, they quickly managed to run down to their seats before the band hit stage. They waited about ten minutes, and then, the band came onstage. Swarms of people crowded to the front, and soon, it was tough for Lizzie to see the band.

She started to hang her head in sorrow, but Gordo quickly knelt down, placed her in his shoulders and stood on a nearby seat. Now, she could get a perfect view of the band. After 3 1/2 hours of playing, the band said goodnight and went offstage. Lizzie was dead tired. She sat down in a seat, not wanting to walk. Gordo laughed, picked her up in his arms, and walked her to the limo.

As they drove away, Lizzie said, "Gordo, I had a really good time tonight, this had been one of the best nights of my life. I mean, you did practically everything to make this a perfect night for me. Moreover, I enjoyed it, because it was with you, not as a friend, but as my boyfriend."

"Well, Lizzie, I wanted to do everything I could for the girl I've loved for years."

Lizzie almost melted when she heard that, and she pulled him into another passionate kiss. When they got to Lizzie's house, she found a note on the door, saying

Dear Lizzie,

We had to go on a quick business trip to Detroit. We'll probably be back in about three days, and if you want to stay over at Gordo or Miranda's house, that's fine.

Love, Mom

Gordo had always waited until she walked inside and closed the door, but Lizzie quickly ran back to the limo, and got in. She told Gordo that she was allowed to stay over at his house, and he smiled. "My parents are out of town, too. I'm glad I'll have someone to be there with me." he said. "Let me go and get some stuff real quick." She said, and she sprinted back into the house, and got a few things she would need, and went back to the limo, and they rode away.

They reached Gordo's house, and Lizzie followed him as he unlocked the door and they went inside. They ended up watching a movie, and then they decided to go to bed. Lizzie had a guest room already, but she wasn't sleeping in there tonight. She told Gordo that she didn't want to be lonely, so he decided let her sleep in his room.

Lizzie quickly changed, and walked into Gordo's room. He was almost breathless, Lizzie was wearing one of Gordo's old shirts that ended a bit past the waist, and most of her legs were showing. Lizzie had let her hair down, and she looked almost too hot standing there, especially after he had lit a couple of candles. Lizzie looked at Gordo, breathless as well. His bare chest exposed his six-pack, and she also noticed for the first time- he had gotten a tattoo of a heart on his shoulder that said LIZZIE across it. She quickly climbed into the bed beside Gordo, and told him how much she appreciated tonight.

She pulled him into a deep kiss, and Gordo embraced her, and again pulled her on top of him. When they stopped for breath, Lizzie said in almost a whisper, "Now that damn chauffeur can't interrupt us." She laughed and kissed him again. But this time, their mouths opened and their tongues met. They weren't sure how long they were kissing, but as they fell asleep in each other's arms, they knew that this was just the beginning of a great relationship.
