Author Notes: I can't believe some people actually like my author notes. Wow, isn't that weird. Anyway, school starts next Monday. I don't want to go to school, I only want to go to school to see my friends and to see who has changed over the summer. Change is a big part in my life right now, especially since I am going to be in the eighth grade next year.
Another A/N: VERY IMPORTANT! THIS CHAPTER IS WHEN GORDO THINKS ABOUT THE MOMENT. THIS IS THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, Okay stupid joke.
Gordo was sprawled out on the floor thinking about the things that were going on now. He couldn't stop think about Elizabeth McGuire, the only girl he had truly loved. She was the first one he had kissed, the first friend that he had, the first one who shared that very particular moment with him. It all began sixteen years ago...
Gordo and Lizzie were on the rooftop of the hotel that they stayed in Rome. They began to talk until there was awkward silence, when Lizzie said, "Gordo?"
"Yeah," he replied looking at Lizzie.
She leaned over to kiss him on the lips and they stood there for a couple of seconds.
"Thanks," muttered a delighted Gordo.
"Your welcome," she responded with a smile on her face.
"Yeah. So, um, want to get back to that party before we get into any more trouble?"
Lizzie nodded with a grin on her face and they both headed back towards the party, but they didn't know what was going to take place next day. It was going to be very difficult for them tomorrow.
The next morning, Gordo woke up with a blurry memory. He realized that he was happy last night, but he didn't know why. He remembered Lizzie and something on the rooftop. Oh! of course, he was just kissed by the famous Lizzie McGuire nonetheless. And now today, he was supposed to face her. Would they just be friends or more?
He got up and changed, for this was their last day in Rome and who knows what will happen.
His thoughts were interrupted by Ethan, "Dude, what were you doing with Liz-zay upstairs on the rooftop."
"Ethan, it was nothing but just pure friendly talk, nothing happened up there," replied a frustrated Gordo.
"Oh really, so the conversation or the kiss didn't mean anything to you," replied a sour voice from behind him. There stood his pride and joy, Lizzie.
"No, I meant..." tried to explain Gordo.
"Dude, you kissed her. Right on, man," said Ethan excitedly, punching a fist in the air.
"Ethan, shut up," snapped Lizzie.
Ethan backed off and said, "I'll give you two alone time."
After Ethan was gone, Lizzie turned to Gordo and asked, "Did you really mean what you said?"
"No, of course not, I mean I don't want Ethan to know about—."
"Okay so now you are ashamed of me, that makes me feel great. So now you don't like me and are ashamed of me. Just great!"
"I love you, Lizzie. Don't you get it, I'm just a—."
"A fool, a prat, do you want me to go on. I highly doubt that you love me. Prove to me that you are true, tell me how you really feel," demanded Lizzie who was just about near to tears.
Gordo grabbed Lizzie by the shoulders and pressed his lips hard up against her lips. Lizzie grabbed the back of Gordo's neck and deepened the kiss. He reluctantly pulled away and said, "That Lizzie is how I feel."
An astonished Lizzie just stood there motionless and with nothing to say at all.
"Do you have anything to say," asked Gordo weakly?
Lizzie just stood there with no sign of living in her body. She was still trying to get over the fact that her best friend had kissed her and that it wasn't her who kissed him. She wanted to say that she felt the same way, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
"Okay, I guess you don't feel the same way. Go off and frolic with another guy, of course I'm not the guy. So go," Gordo said as he tried to shoo her out of his room.
Lizzie finally got back to reality and she just listened to Gordo's last part of the sentence and became furious. She didn't hear the part before that, so she took it the wrong way and started to scream at him.
"I can't believe you want me to go away, right after what you did to me. I was about to say that I feel the same way, but not anymore. I think of nothing of you than more than a friend. And that kiss that I gave you on the rooftop, was a complete mistake, all it was, was a thank you kiss," Lizzie stammered.
"Is that how you feel," shouted Gordo when she started to head towards the door.
But before she could answer him, she slammed the door on him.
"No, that's not how I feel," Lizzie said slouching against the door that she just slammed with tears streaming down her face.
Meanwhile in Lizzie's room, all day she spent her last day of Rome sulking, but mostly crying. Kate and even Ethan tried to cheer her up and get them back together, but not even that worked.
Lizzie finally heard a knock on the door and opened the door. There standing in the hallway was Gordo.
Lizzie flung herself on him and said, "I didn't mean any of that stuff I said."
"Me too," agreed Gordo.
After the embrace Gordo spoke up and said, "Friends, McGuire?"
"Best Friends," said Lizzie as she shook his hand in agreement.
Even though that Lizzie and Gordo seemed happy, they really weren't. Both of them wanted to be more than friends. They both loved each other very much and didn't know what to do about it, because they didn't have a book called What If You Fall in Love With Your Best Guy Friend.
Thirty-year-old Gordo shook his head at the moment that become very vague to him over the news. He did admit his feelings toward her, but then quickly covered it up with an excuse that he just thought of her as a best friend. He was such a chicken and now that Lizzie was divorced from that jerk, he still hadn't told her how he felt.
That was the moment, the moment that could of held their future. But he blew that opportunity, just because he was a coward and also because of his stupidity too. The moment was gone, and that moment would never be forgotten, even though it caused him pain to think about it. Moments like those, even if they were painful, could never, ever be forgotten.
