Sorry for the long awaited update. I guess it's hard for me to come to terms that I am almost finished with a story. It sounds weird, but it's true. Good news—I am so far surviving my first year of high school. I'm almost a sophomore---I guess that makes me a froshmore!! Haha—I love you guys.
Chapter Seven
Everlasting Bond
The next morning, Gordo woke up because he heard his cell phone ring. Most people had the latest model of cell phones, like Lizzie, who had a pink one that not only lit up, but also had creative sounds, like the screaming noise it made when someone sent her a text. That always amused Gordo. Gordo, however, had the simplest model there was and had no complaints. He looked over at Lizzie's bed and she didn't even stir, so he took the cell phone, answered it and took it in the bathroom.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Gordo?" It was Matt.
Gordo yawned, "Hmm? Yeah?"
"Did you get the tickets?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I was just wondering. What time do you think you'll be home?"
"I don't know. What time is it now?"
"A little bit after ten."
"Does Miranda suspect anything?"
"Nope. Not a thing."
"That's good to hear. I should probably call her and wish her a happy birthday. I didn't realize that it was so late."
"No!" Matt exclaimed, "I mean, she's probably sleeping."
"After ten? On her birthday?" Gordo asked, "No, Miranda is not like that at all!"
"Yeah, well, to tell you the truth…I already tried to call her, you know…to see if she wanted to go to breakfast with me…and we did…and now she's over here with me."
Gordo raised his eyebrow, not believing Matt's story, "Okay, first of all, why did you two have breakfast and second of all, if she was there, then why didn't you say so in the first place?"
"Well, we had breakfast because I knew that her two best friends were out of town so I decided to be nice, I would invite her and I didn't tell you in the first place because I thought you might think it was weird on account of Lizzie not being home and all."
"Well, it's a little strange. Where is she now?"
"She's in the den watching TV."
"How long is she going to be there with you?"
"I don't know. Until she wants to leave."
"Okay, whatever. Lizzie and I should be home around five."
"Okay, cool."
"Thanks for helping us out."
"Oh, it was no problem, Gordo."
The two hung up and Gordo exited the bathroom to find Lizzie slowly waking up and yawning, "Morning, sleepy," he said, as he crawled on her bed on top of the covers and watched Lizzie as she awakened.
Lizzie yawned and opened her eyes, "Morning," she looked at Gordo and wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled as she pulled his head down to her face and gave him a kiss on the mouth. When they pulled away a few seconds later, they caught sight of each other's eyes and kissed again, this time with more passion as they slipped their tongue into each other's mouths and Gordo's body fell on top of Lizzie. When they released for air, Gordo breathed on Lizzie's neck, "Lizzie, I love you so much," he whispered.
"I love you, too."
"I can't believe I ever let you get away."
"Oh, Gordo," she said, "let's not talk about that anymore, okay? Now, we should focus on the future."
Gordo took Lizzie's hand and held it at his own between their bodies and kissed her hand, "Whatever you say, Liz."
Lizzie smiled as they kissed once more and this went on for several minutes until Lizzie decided they should probably get ready for the day since checkout was at eleven. Lizzie hopped in the shower first as Gordo straightened up the room and then Gordo took a shower as Lizzie got ready for the day.
They checked out of the hotel once they were both ready and picked up some McDonalds breakfast on the road.
Matt told several lies when he was on the phone with Gordo. The first one was that Miranda spent the night with him. They didn't go out for breakfast and Miranda wasn't watching TV. Miranda was taking a shower. Of course he definitely made point to leave that out when he talked to Gordo.
Once Miranda got out of the shower and was dressed, she then went downstairs to watch TV while Matt took a shower and got ready for the day. She was set on some Lifetime Original Movie when Matt came down to join her on the sofa, "Had a good birthday so far?" he asked.
Miranda grinned as she looked at her boyfriend, "It's great."
"What do you want the most this year."
Miranda kissed her boyfriend hard on the mouth, "Matt," she said, once the kiss ended, "I think I have pretty much everything I could possibly want, including you."
Matt blushed so hard that his ears turned red and Miranda seemed amused my this and kissed him on the cheek, "So, what did you get me?"
"Ahhh," Matt said, holding up a finger, "that, my dear sweet Miranda, is a surprise. You'll have to wait until you get the rest of your gifts."
Miranda stuck out her tongue and proceeded to get up, "Where are you going?"
"Home."
Matt made puppy eyes and frowned, "Please stay," he pleaded.
"Matt," Miranda said, smiled, "It's my birthday! My family is waiting for me at home. I'll see you tonight at the party. I promise!"
"Okay," Matt said, "But I'll miss you."
"I'll call you if I get the chance," Miranda winked as she let herself out of the house. Once the door was closed, she leaned against it and sighed. She was in love with Matt.
Later that day, when she was at home, she was about to call Matt on her cell phone when she realized she had two new messages. She checked them and smiled. They were from Lizzie and Gordo, both to wish her a happy birthday. She was about to call Matt after hearing the messages when her mom knocked and entered her room, "Wow!" her mom said, walking in and sitting on Miranda's bed, "I cannot believe my little Miranda is seventeen today. You are growing up way too fast!"
Miranda smiled, "I know, mom. Isn't it wonderful?"
Her mom laughed, "What? Growing older? Ha! Wait till you are my age! Then you might not think it is so wonderful."
Miranda smiled and looked down, putting her cell phone on the nightstand, "Who were you calling?"
"Oh, no one," Miranda lied, "I was just checking my messages."
"Ahh," her mom said, "did a boy call you?"
Miranda looked up, a little shocked, "What?"
Her mom smiled, "Don't lie to me! I know you are always on your phone! I remember what it was like to be your age."
Miranda didn't say anything. She only looked down.
"Who is he?" Her mom asked.
"Mom! I never said it was a guy!"
"You never said it wasn't, either."
Miranda rolled her eyes and leaned back against her pillow.
"Are you in love?"
"I don't know," Miranda shrugged. She knew, alright, but she wasn't about to tell her mom.
"Oh, come on! When are we going to meet him?"
Miranda shrugged, "I don't know."
Whilst her mother was grilling Miranda, Matt was at his house watching TV and playing video games. Lizzie called him at some point of the day to make sure he hadn't started a fire and his parents, who thought Lizzie was staying with him, called and he told them that Lizzie was out with her friends. It was the truth.
Lizzie and Gordo stopped once for lunch once they were about one away from Hill Ridge. They stopped at Hardees and Lizzie, who had slept for most of the duration of the trip, put in one of her CD's in the car's CD player and they spent the rest of the time listening to music, like "Big Yellow Taxi," and Lizzie's personal favorite, a nice assortment of country.
Gordo put up with it and before they knew it, they pulled into Lizzie's house. They were early and were greeted by Matt when they went into the house. Lizzie and Gordo were holding hands, so Matt figured out what was going on and let them go work out decorations for the party in Lizzie's room. He was happy about this, though, knowing that this would probably put Lizzie in a good mood and knew that this would make it easier for Miranda and him to reveal themselves.
Lizzie was in for a real shocker, after all.
Yay! To be continued! I'll try and update as soon as possible, but can't make any promises. Please, though, if you get the chance, if you could review, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks and have a nice day. (I don't care when you are reading this!)
