The Lemonade Stand

Chapter 3

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

"You know what I want?" Lizzie asked, while trying to tie the halter strap on her bikini.

"What?" Gordo responded. Lizzie's bikini had a pink top with a brown flower on the right side and a brown bottom with a pink hibiscus flower on the back. She was gorgeous in it and Gordo felt his arms ache to hold her.

"For eyes in the back on my head! That way I could tell if this was tied or not." She laughed a bit and stomped her foot against the pool deck.

They had been outside for two hours, splashing in the pool and goofing around with Katie. The little girl had loved being tickled and grabbed from under water and they were having a blast when Anna and Madeleine tapped on the gate.

"Katie and Maddie have to go to Lily's for her birthday party and I wan to go play soccer with Matt. Can we?" Anna Gordon had her hair down with a headband and Madeleine was already dressed for the party, a wrapped gift clutched in her small hand. Katie hoisted her soaking wet self out of the pool and joined the triple pout.

Gordo nodded and helped Lizzie out of the pool.

"Go change!" he nudged Katie towards the door and she and Maddie made a beeline for the stairs. Anna stayed put. "You too!" Gordo nodded towards the door.

"That's okay! I'm already dressed!" was Anna's response to her brother.

Gordo looked at her, "Anna, you are wearing a bra and soccer shorts. I wouldn't mind but you are going to play soccer with a boy. I have told you a million times. No Dating Till You Are 50!"

Anna scowled at her brother before grinning wickedly. "Well fine I'll put a shirt on but I bet he wont and by the time I come home I wont either and I can let you think of why!"

Gordo turned red, "Anna, please! Just put a shirt on, I don't care who's! Please!"

She shook her head, "No!"

Gordo took a deep breath when he felt a small hand on his shoulder; he turned to find Lizzie looking at him with large, caring eyes.

"She's right you know!" Lizzie nodded at Anna, "My brother never wears a shirt when he plays soccer, and you don't need to worry! He's dating Melina already!" Gordo's resolve fell away.

"Okay Anna! You can go like that!" his little sister smiled and walked past him towards Lizzie,

"Thanks Lizzie!" she smiled and hugged the blonde girl before whispering in her ear. "I told you he likes you!" Lizzie rolled her eyes, "and didn't Matt and Melina break up?" Anna continued in hushed tones.

"Yeah, about a week ago but Gordo doesn't know that!" they two girls giggled before Anna went back inside

????????An hour later????????

"You want to watch a movie?" Gordo asked Lizzie, they were sitting on the living room floor after completing two puzzles.

The small blonde nodded and sat up to stretch, "What movie should we watch?"

Gordo inched closer to her and leaned back against the couch. "I dunno, what's your favorite movie?"

"Promise you won't laugh?" Lizzie giggled slightly, blushing under his intense stare.

"Promise!" Gordo looped her pinkie finger around his and shook. "there now you can tell!" he laughed.

Lizzie felt her strength give way and she blushed. "I like the Princess Bride the best, it's all about. . ."

"True love?" Gordo finished her sentence for her and Lizzie again felt her cheeks redden.

"Maybe," she stood and brushed her shorts off, determinedly looking anywhere except at the sprawling teenager.

"That's my favorite too," Gordo said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Lizzie turned too stare at her new friend and their eyes locked.

"Really?" she questioned, letting her gaze linger on Gordo's eyes.

"Would I lie to you?" Gordo's stood also, his face turned down towards her.

"I don't know, would you?" he took a step closer and Lizzie felt her stomach turn.

"Does the Earth revolve around the sun?"

Gordo's eyes sparkled with laughter. She was so close he could reach out and touch her and make it look like an accident. A lock of golden hair fell into her eyes and Gordo automatically reached up and brushed it back behind her ear. Leaning in towards her, he gently pressed his lips to hers.

Lizzie responded immediately, kissing him back with more force than he expected. Their kiss deepened and Gordo carefully brought his hands to rest on her waist. He slowly ran his tongue along her bottom lip and was surprised when she let him into her mouth. Lizzie brought her arms up to tangle in his curly mane of hair and she leaned back onto the couch.

One of Gordo's hands left her waist and began to gently slide along the side of her body. The other hand slipped under the bottom of her shirt and rested on Lizzie's belly. Gordo could feel the warmth of her flesh against his skin and she arched her back into his caress.

The couple pulled apart for a breath of air. Gordo leaned back in just as they heard the front door open. Springing apart, the two teenagers found themselves face to face with Anna Gordon, a soccer ball rested on her hip and her face was flushed from the exercise.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything!" Anna mocked noticing the tension between her brother and her neighbor.

Lizzie stood blushing while Gordo stammered for an excuse.

"I'd better go!" The golden-haired girl made a dash for the door

"So, did you tell her yet?" Anna asked once she heard the door shut.

Gordo shook his head, "I just met her Anna, it's too soon," he took the stairs two at a time and slammed the door to his room.

The small brunette girl grinned devilishly. Grabbing the phone from the kitchen, she dialed one of the few numbers she knew.

"Hello, Miranda? This is Anna Gordon. I need your help!"
