Chapter Two: Squeaky Phone Call
Author Notes: Oh my gosh, wow thank you all so much for the reviews, 5 from the first chapter. So here's thanx to:
Beama – glad you're enjoying it so far, I agree there aren't enough M/Gs and Miranda is better than Lizzie! Rock on LaLaine!!!
Espanachick() – thank you for such a nice review! Glad to see you're still here, you've always given me good reviews. I'm not saying if it's a M/G yet, don't wanna give too much away! Thnx for the comment on my other story, I'm going to go for the shortened version then work mainly on this ff and 'You Wish'.
Baby-Angel aka Lala – It's nice to see you again too. Is Lizzie jealous?? Ooh and as I said before I'm not giving anything away yet!
Brie() – Gracias! I'm updating soon as you asked, I hope it does become one of your favourite stories!
Love-angel-89 – how do you know it's a M/G?? hehe thanks for your review, I always try to be different! Thanks for your review for 'You Wish' too, I will try and update ASAP.
Well on with the show, it's mainly a phone call (as you can probably guess from the title) but I haven't figured out how to get rid of gaps between lines so you'll have to put up with it for now!
Keep r&ring! And enjoy!
Bekks xxxxx
Miranda didn't hear from either of her amigos until a very excited phone call two evenings later.
(L-Lizzie, M-Miranda, G-Gordo, I dunno why I bother putting that, it's pretty obvious!)
M- Hola!
L- Hey babe!
G- Howdy!
M- So what's with the urgency? Mi mamá said something about lots of squeaky voices!
G- Well we both have some big news.
M- You're getting married!
G- Ha! Like that'd happen! Anyway my news is big but I dunno about Liz she wouldn't tell me until you were on the convo!
M- Aw bless, go on then Liz you spill first!
L- Okay prepare yourselves!
M&G- Prepared!
L- Okay I gotta call last night..
M- Yeah?
L- And it was the people from my record company and they were asking if I would go back to Rome to do some recording for them, possibly even do an album!!
M- ¡hala! I'm so happy for you!
G- Good one Liz! So why have they only just phoned? You made your debut nearly a year ago now!
L- I know, I thought that too but then I asked around and found out why…. The 'rents!! My mom answered the phone when they first phoned me and said that I couldn't do anything until the summer because of starting High School and all.
M- Fair enough! So when are you going
L- They want me there in a week!
G- What? But our holiday!
L- You were serious about that? I thought it was just a crazy fantasy thing!
M- Liz that's mean, Gordo's planned all this out; it's really going to happen.
G- Thanks Miranda, that's what my big news was about! I phoned to tell you that my aunt is not going to be at the villa when we go and she'll pay us to house-sit!
M- Oh my Gosh! That is so cool! There must be a catch!
G- There is… we have to go in three days!
L- This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Anyway you two can go without me.
M- Oh come on Liz, you sulk if I look at Gordo, you'll flip if I go on holiday alone with him.
L- Yeah but I think I can trust my boyfriend not to try anything stupid.
M- What and you can't trust me?
L- I dunno, you're just so jealous all the time, it's Ronnie all over again. You'll probably hit on Gordo to make me jealous.
M- Me? Jealous? Whatever McGuire.
L- Don't call me that!
M- I'll call you what I like! Perra!
L- Ooh Spanish words, ooh I'm scared!
G- Okay you two, break it up!! Forget the holiday if it's going to cause this fuss.
L&M- Shut up Gordo!
G- Fine! (click)
L- Thanks Miranda!
M- It's okay!
L- I'm going to Rome. I don't care what you do, Gordo would never dream of trying it on with someone like you.
M- Hmm yeah he wouldn't be able to cope with the huge step up from his present girlfriend.
L- Whatever! (click)
Throwing her phone across the room onto her bed, Miranda sat back in her chair with her face in her hands. Rage swept across her but she couldn't help feel slightly pleased with the fact she'd beaten Lizzie in an argument and let out a laugh that didn't belong to her. However that argument had forced her to snap at Gordo, who was probably not speaking to her now. Determined to make it up with Gordo and annoy Lizzie further still Miranda set off downstairs to ask her parents for permission to go to the villa, if Gordo would still invite her!
