" Hey honey, I am going out to get the kids some ice cream, do you want any," asked Carl?
Lizzie just kept on glaring at the necklace that she received from Gordo and slowly shook her head. She didn't want anything to cheer her up than her own Gordo to embrace her in his arms and comfort her from all evil like he used to.
" I also might run a few more errands so I probably won't be back until later on," he said again.
" Carl, it's Christmas Eve, why did you have to wait until tonight to go out? I mean the children and I were eager with anticipation because we were going to sing Christmas carols tonight. Do you not want to participate in family activities anymore? It seems all you care about these days is about you, your friends, your job, and partially the children," responded Lizzie.
" Honey I am just going to go on a few errands, I mean we are running low on groceries ever since you made that wonderful dinner and the toilet is flushing properly so I am going to get some cleaner for that," explained Carl.
Lizzie was too tired to argue and she didn't know that Carl wasn't going to do anything like that. Because really the children were already stuffed from Christmas dinner, the refrigerator was stocked with different assortments of food, and the toilet was flushing properly. The only reason he wanted to get out of the house because he was going to see another who was far more prettier than Lizzie.
Carl hurriedly got out of his car and put the car in drive mode. He sped off to the nearest bar where he was going to meet Cheryl, his boss. But not only was she his boss, but she was also his girlfriend. But Carl didn't know that someone else was in the bar that was spying on him.
As soon as Carl got to the bar, he closed the car door and did a slight jog over to the bar since he was running late because of all the presents that the children had to open up. He saw a pretty lady with a black dress and everything and her beautiful brown hair rested on her shoulders.
" Hey Cheryl," greeted Carl as he kissed her on the cheek.
" Hello honey, how you are doing and why are you running so late," questioned the pretty lady?
" Oh you know, my mother wanted me to help clean the kitchen from Christmas Eve dinner and you know she is my mother, but it was my mistake for you having to wait so long."
" It's fine, you always know that family comes first in my priorities."
Carl put on a fake grin and nodded his head while she was saying this. Now, family really wasn't Carl's first priority because if it was, he would be spending valuable time with his family like every other normal family did.
Gordo decided to go to a nearby bar to get a Coke or something because he was very parched. He didn't personally drink because he never personally liked alcohol. It just didn't fill his want like a Coke did. As soon as he opened the door he saw Carl, Lizzie's husband, talking to a pretty woman. He quickly ducked behind an old gentlemen who was drinking whisky and having a jolly old time.
Now Gordo wasn't a big fan of spying, but when he needed to know some information about other people that would harm his friends or family, he would definitely take his chance. So as he was squatting behind this gentlemen, he was listening to Carl's conversation with this women.
" So Carl, who is the women you love the most," asked the lady to Carl?
" You are honey, and I haven't seen a finer women than you. You have the personality that a man would love and I am so lucky to spend my whole life with you because you are my sunshine," Carl said.
" Oh you are a doll Carl."
This is sickening, thought Gordo. Not only is he a cheater and a liar, but he is a horrible poet. I mean what kind of man would say this stuff. I have to tell Lizzie, but she probably won't believe me. I mean she has known me longer than this man, but I still don't want to take the chance. But I have to tell Lizzie, because not only would it hurt Lizzie, but it would hurt the twins too. I have got to leave before I hear anymore of this mushy, gushy, gross stuff from a business man.
Gordo left the building and he knew were he was going to go. Not Lizzie's, not his house, not his parents, but Miranda, because she always had the answers to everything. He hopped in his car and sped off to her house.
Gordo slammed shut the car door and walked to Miranda's door and rang the doorbell. Now Gordo did care about Miranda's feelings, but this was a major crisis for Lizzie's future would be in his hands.
Miranda opened the door with a tired, but pissed face and asked in her tired voice that Gordo had know for so long, " What are you doing here?"
" I have something important to tell you," Gordo told her.
Miranda dragged Gordo in and pushed him on the couch while she prepared Gordo and herself some hot tea. After Miranda was done preparing the tea, she sat down on the couch next to Gordo and started to sip her tea.
" Gordo what is so important that you have to tell me ON Christmas Eve at exactly 11:01 PM. This has to be very important to wake me up at such a ridiculous time. What did you meet a new girl who is better than Lizzie? You figured out that your dog can talk, or did you realize your specialty for knitting," Miranda asked sarcastically?
" Okay I will never in my life meet a prettier, or better girl than Lizzie, and you know that for a fact. But, what I have to tell you is very important. As I was driving around town, and don't ask me why, because I don't do that very often. But as I was driving around town, I saw a bar and decided to get a Coke and I tell you I rarely ever go to bars.."
" Okay Gordon, just get to the point," snapped Miranda.
" Well I entered the bar and there I saw Lizzie's husband, Carl, talking to this really good-looking lady and they didn't seem like they were talking business because I actually heard their conversation. I don't spy, but this was an important situation so I had to spy for Lizzie's sake. I heard both of them talking mushy to both each other and I saw them kiss."
Miranda's expression on her face was wiped off and she put on a new worried expression on her face. She is always looking out for her friends like Gordo is, and whenever it comes to her friends she will believe anything they say and she knew that Gordo was not telling a lie.
" Gordo, for some strange reason I believe you because I know you would never make up something like that. Oh Gordo, what are we going to do," asked Miranda?
" That's what I came over here for," Gordo said.
Well I wanted to hurry and update a chapter because I will be gone for a month in North Carolina and I won't be able to update up there because we don't have internet access. So here is my last chapter for about a month, so give me a lot of reviews and I will be sure why I get back to have many many updates on my chapters. YaY!
