Author Note: Gee! I didn't know people liked my story that much. I got 11 reviews. You guys are the best. Okay I promise that I will continue this story no matter what. Okay? Alright. So to celebrate, I'm going to give you another chapter. Oh and also Matt and Miranda are dating already, so just to give you the update. Don't worry there will be more interaction between the two of them, even if I do think they are the worst couple, no offense, but you'll see why both of them affect Gordo so please don't get mad if you don't like this couple.
It had been awhile after Abby's explosion in the classroom. Just like Lizzie said, she was grounded and wasn't allowed to go to any parties or anything. So she sat quietly in her room waiting for her punishment to be over.
Meanwhile with Lizzie, she had bigger problems to worry over than Abby's little fit. Abby had still not told the reason why she had pitched a fight at school. Lizzie suspected that the reason had to something with Carl being in jail, but she didn't know for sure. But, the reason why Lizzie did not worry about this was because she was going to have a dinner party at her house. She planned this a month ago before the 'accident' that she encountered with Gordo. So that meant that she would have to face Gordo at the dinner party, unless he didn't come.
The doorbell rang, at Lizzie snapped back to the present. She answered the door and there standing in the doorway was Miranda with a basket full of different assortments of food.
"You know that I don't really cook, so I bought some stuff from the nearby market. I bought mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, and more. Look through the stuff and if you don't want some of it then leave it in the basket," explained Miranda with a smile.
"Thanks," Lizzie said. "I really need your help."
"Don't you think this enough food?" asked Miranda.
"No I meant with Gordo," hissed Lizzie.
"Oh, now I see," smiled Miranda and Lizzie jerked her into the kitchen to talk. She took out all the food and laid it on the table with the rest of the foods that her neighbor brought in.
"Gordo is coming over any second and I am about to go mad…" blabbed Lizzie.
"Whoa, hold on Lizzie. I don't even know what you are talking about. What is happening between you and Gordo besides that you are too stupid enough to not admit your feelings for each other," Miranda told her.
Lizzie glared. "Miranda! You have been watching too many of those soap operas. I mean honestly, this is not how real life works. I don't know for sure if he likes me in that way or not," Lizzie said. "I sound like I'm in middle school again."
"So did he like kiss you or anything? Because that's how it sounds," she said.
"Yeah he did," nodded Lizzie. "It was the night that Carl had you know and he rescued me. Then he bent down to me and I don't know what came over me and I kissed him."
"You kissed him," repeated Miranda as she helped Lizzie with the dishes.
"Yes, I kissed him and the weird thing is that it actually felt good," Lizzie smiled.
"Well there is only one thing for you to do," said Miranda.
"What?" questioned Lizzie.
"Get a blanket under the stars and talk about the past. That's what I did with my boyfriend, but instead we went to a planetarium. It wasn't as much fun as the real stars, though," Miranda said.
"I'll think about it," said Lizzie.
"Wow! You actually agreed with one of my ideas," amazed Miranda.
"I said I would think about it, not do it," Lizzie snapped.
Miranda backed away with a smile and continued to help her out with the dishes. Once they were done with the setting up, Lizzie shoed off Abby and Michael upstairs. Then the guests starting to arrive, and one of those guests was Gordo. It appeared that he had tried to stay far away from Lizzie and vice versa.
Finally Miranda had come over to Lizzie and said, "I just told Gordo that you wanted to talk to him outside. There are blankets lying outside for the two of you. Bye Lizzie, great party! I'll go chat to Kate and Ethan while I'm at it."
"Miranda," shouted Lizzie, but she just waved her hand and completely ignored as if she were a flea.
Then to Lizzie's astonishment, Gordo had come up to her and cleared his voice. "So you wanted to see me."
"Yeah, maybe it would be better if we talked about this outside," suggested Lizzie.
Lizzie and Gordo strolled out the door with a curious Abby looking behind them. They both closed the door and laid on the ground a good distance apart. There were a few minutes of awkward silence before Gordo interrupted it.
"Remember when we were little and we always used to look up at the stars with Miranda. She was always the one who would point out the constellations while we talked about school. When she was little she always wanted to be an astronomer, but changed her mind later on."
"Yeah," laughed Lizzie. (A/N: I was about to type, giggled Lizzie, but then that would sound to cheesy.)
"No, what I remember was when you were dating Brooke and Miranda and I thought we had lost you. We thought that it wasn't the Three Musketeers anymore, but just the Two-Sad-Princesses-Who-Doesn't-Have-Their-Knight-In-Shining-Armor," explained Lizzie.
Gordo snorted. "Right, whatever."
"No Gordo, I mean you weren't exactly our knight in shining armor, but you did protect us, especially me," said Lizzie courteously. By then, Gordo and Lizzie were under the blankets and were close in proximity to each other.
"I wasn't anything like Ethan or the popular guys I was just¾ ."
"You were just Gordo, the one that Miranda and I always depended on. The one that was the closest to our knight in shining armor. Gordo, you didn't have to be popular, cool, or anything like that just to make us like you. We like you any way and that is the truth."
"Thanks, but I wasn't that great to you."
"Remember Rome, Ronnie, Kate, and there is so much more events that you helped me with. Sure Miranda was a great friend, but you were always there for me even when Miranda wasn't around."
"But¾ ."
"Plus, I always need a guys perspective on things."
"You like to interrupt."
"I guess I do and face it Gordo, you are the man of many wonders."
Did I just say that? I can't believe I just said that. That was supposed to be thought in my mind and not said out loud. I really do believe that I have changed into a 13-year-old, but in a 30-year-old's body, though Lizzie. (A/N: Haha, does this sound familiar? 13 Going On 30.)
"That was supposed to be thought in my mind," blushed Lizzie.
Gordo laughed at this and then the laughing ceased. Gordo looked at Lizzie and she turned to him. A nervous Gordo placed his hand on her cheek and then leaned in. Lizzie did the same so that their bodies were compressed into each other.
"Mom, I need help on this¾ ," Abby said as she entered out the back door to the patio where Gordo and Lizzie were basically on top of each other now.
"Okay, I can see that I have interrupted something," Abby giggled. (A/N: Okay, so I used the word giggled, whose going to punish me?)
"Nnno," hesitated Gordo. "I was just about to leave."
Gordo got up from where he was laying and exited the door leaving Lizzie on the ground and Abby at the doorway.
"Sure," whispered Abby as Gordo walked past her.
"So Mom, can I help you with anything?" asked Abby.
Lizzie stood their speechless because after all, wouldn't you be speechless after a best guy friend of yours almost kissed you?
Author Note: End of chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and there is more to come. Oh and also I have started this stupid little poll for people to answer some questions, and sometimes it might be advice aimed towards me. Okay so the question is directed to my best friend in the whole world who is starting a new high school. She has lots of friends that are girls, but she wants some friends that are guys. So any advice? Sorry just wanted to shoot that out. I couldn't help her with that question, so that is why I am asking you all. Thank you very much.
