Thanks for the reviews guys! It's real encouraging!
I don't own anything except Jason.
GORDO'S POV
I just looked at Lizzie's and Miranda's face as they were looking at Jason in complete shock. I only asked him that question so he can divert some of the attention off of me. Truth being told, I'm still amazed at that kiss Miranda and I shared. I mean it was intense! Her lips were so soft, and her waist fit perfectly in my arms. I'm really beginning to believe that Miranda is my true love. The first time I kissed Lizzie, it felt nothing like this.
"Um, hey guys, am I the only one still here" said Jason breaking the silence.
"Ah, I'm here, I just can't believe what I just heard. You want to date Lizzie" said Miranda.
"Well yeah! That was what Gordo asked me right! If I could date anyone right now it would be Lizzie" said Jason.
"And Gordo you don't have a problem with that" asked Miranda diverting the attention right back to me.
I looked around at everyone. I think Lizzie was still in shock about the whole conversation.
"Well no. Look me and Lizzie are not together anymore and that means we are free to date anyone we choose. Plus Jason already asked would I have a problem with him asking Lizzie out and I said no" I said kinda in a confident way.
"So you don't care that Jason is your best guy bud. And your best guy bud wants to date you ex. And that doesn't bother you" questioned Miranda.
"For the last time, I don't have a problem with Jason wanting to date Lizzie" I said kinda of annoyed.
"Well do you have a problem with Lizzie wanting to date Jason" asked Miranda.
"MIRANDA" yelled Lizzie. "You're weren't supposed to say anything yet!" yelled Lizzie again.
"I'm sorry Lizzie, I didn't meant to spill anything" said Miranda apologetically.
"Wait a minute! You want to date me back!" yelled Jason with this humongous smile on his face.
"Well yeah I sorta, kinda, have a crush on you. But you weren't supposed to know yet" said Lizzie eyeing Miranda.
Miranda mouthed sorry again. I wonder why she was asking all these questions earlier.
"Um Gordo, you never answered Miranda's question" said Lizzie.
"What was it again" I said looking confused.
"Do you have a problem with me wanting to date Jason" she said.
"Lizzie if I don't have a problem with Jason wanting to date you then why would I have a problem with you wanting to date him. Lizzie we said we had to let each other go and we knew that we would start liking other people and eventually were going to want to start dating them" I said giving Miranda a quick glance. "I'm cool with the two of you wanting to date one another, really!" I said.
"Gordo, are you sure, because I don't want to mess up our friendship by me dating your best friend bud. Gordo I want us to stay friends and to be able to talk to you...." Said Lizzie.
"Lizzie, Lizzie, just chill" I said. Then I gave her a look of reassurance that I was telling the truth.
"Okay, Gordo I believe you" she said smiling.
"Look, Lizzie I asked Gordo about asking you out on a date knowing everything about you guys history. And at first he was shocked but he genuinely said that he was cool with it. Lizzie I really like you but if you're not cool with us dating then I will drop the whole thing" said Jason.
"NO Jason. I like you but I think we should talk about this in private, if Miranda and Gordo does not mind" said Lizzie giving us a hint.
"Ah Miranda, I think that's our cue" I said.
"Oh, yeah. Um, here I come Gordo" she said obviously thinking about something.
Miranda and I went into the hallway straight into the kitchen. Miranda just sat there on the stool for a while fumbling around with her fingers. There was this real awkward silence that I didn't enjoy too much. The one thing that I enjoyed a lot was the kiss we shared. Honestly I don't think Miranda realizes how beautiful she is; inside and out.
"Gordo do you want something to drink" Miranda said nervously breaking the silence.
"Um, sure. Thanks" I said. I sat there just watching her prepare the drinks. Miranda has all the qualities that any man would look for to be their true love. She obviously beautiful, even though she has a tough outer shell she can be very sensitive once she let's you in, she's charismatic, she strong when she needs to be, she's everything I want. She has every quality Lizzie has but it's magnified. Miranda was never afraid to be herself, all through middle school she dressed differently and wore her hair in different styles, and I don't think she cared much what other people thought. Or she never really let on that she cared. I think that I am falling for Ms. Sanchez slowly but surely. I honestly have never felt this way about any of the girls I've dated. Not Terri, Brooke, or Lizzie. These feelings are scary but yet they are liberating.
"Earth to Gordo, here's your juice" said Miranda waving her hand in front of my face.
"Oh, thanks" I said.
"You know this night has been sorta weird. I mean we went from playing Truth or Dare to the dating service in there" said Miranda laughing.
"I know what you mean" I said laughing myself.
"Gordo are you really cool with them two dating" she asked a little seriously.
"Yeah, I really am cool" I said.
"Why? I know I have been asking a lot of questions, and I don't mean to probe, but I thought you really loved Lizzie" she asked.
"Well I do and I did". Let me explain. I still love Lizzie as my best friend but I'm not in love with her as my girlfriend anymore" I said.
"What made you change your mind in a couple of days" she asked.
"You did actually. You made me see that although I loved Lizzie a lot she wasn't the end all to my love life. A good friend of mine made me realize that out there in the dark world there is a beautiful princess waiting for me. And I plan on giving her my love with all my heart and I know she's going to accept it from me by her actions and the way that she looks at me. She's going to deserve everything that I do for her out of love because she is just that special. Miranda she is going to be my true love and I know that when I find her we were meant to be" I said.
"You realized all that from me. Wow I really give good advice" she said laughing.
"Yes you do. Do you remember when you gave advice to Matt" I said smiling.
"Yeah he ended up having this huge crush on me. I guess my advice has that effect on little kids" she said laughing. "It's not just little kids Miranda" I said not thinking before I spoke. Where the hell did that come from!
"What do you mean Gordo" she said looking at me not totally surprised.
"How about I show you". And with that I moved closer to Miranda and grabbed her into my arms.
"Gordo what are you doing" she asked kinda of shocked.
"I'm acting on my feelings" I said. Then I began to kiss her. Surprisingly she didn't move back. She accepted my kiss with open arms. I relished in how soft her lips were, and how sweet her tongue taste. I felt her put her arms around my waist and kiss me with passion that let me know not to stop. I smelled that sweet smell of rose petals and I was totally lost. I knew that I had found my true love, and to think she was right there all along. I stopped kissing her sweet lips and kissed her neck, God she was so soft and beautiful. I heard a little soft moan escape from her mouth. After I kissed her neck I went for her lips again.. but she pushed me away abruptly. And just like that I was thrown out of my trance.
"Gordo we can't do this!" Miranda said out of breath.
"Why not Miranda! It felt right" I said more like pleaded.
"Because Gordo, we just can't" she said looking scared.
"Miranda I don't understand. I know you felt it, or else you would not have kissed me that way. I've seen the little glances that you were giving me these last couple of days because I gave you the same looks. Miranda I know this is just not teenage hormones talking, this is the real deal" I pleaded.
"Gordo this is not right, even though it felt right we can't do this, I can't hurt Lizzie that way" she said with her voice trembling a little.
"What do you mean by hurt Lizzie" I said obviously confused.
"Look Gordo, Lizzie noticed the looks we were giving one another today and she asked me did I like you and I lied to her and said I didn't because she reacted like she was kinda jealous. And she told me that she sorta freaked out because she thought that I liked you and that you liked me. Gordo it's obvious to me that she is not over you and I can't mess up our friendship like that" she said in one breath on the verge of tears.
I looked at this beautiful specimen in front of me totally freaked out. I saw a tear escaping her right eye and I went to her and wiped it away. I gathered her up in my arms and held her tight and told her to listen.
"Miranda I think I am falling for you. Matter of fact I know I am falling for you. I told you it's over between Lizzie and me. What ever unresolved feelings she has for me is her problem. I am not going to let this good thing pass me by because I don't know when another opportunity like this will come around. I want you and I know deep and your heart you want me too. Or else you would not be reacting the way you are right now. Miranda don't be scared to love me because I will never hurt you, ever. And I'm not afraid to put my heart out their for you to love. I want you to know these things, I don't want you to be afraid, I am here for you and there is no doubt in my mind that you are my true love" I said very calmly.
For a while Miranda just let me hold her. I think she was taking everything I said to heart. She moved back from me and looked at me. She gave me the look that I have been waiting for, the look of love. Her brown eyes danced around with excitement and fear at the same time. She looked at me for awhile and then looked off to the side and sighed.
"What's on your mind" I asked.
"Gordo, I hear everything you are saying but it doesn't provide me with much solace. It's just that everything is moving really fast and I haven't had time to think. I know that what I feel is true but I also know that every action and decision has a consequence and right now I'm just unsure of what those consequences are" she said looking pitiful.
"Miranda what do you feel" I asked.
"I feel like I'm falling in love. I feel like I am getting every thing I have ever wanted. Every time I look into your eyes, they pierce my very soul. And when I'm in your arms I feel safe, like you would protect me from anything that you could. And when we kissed it felt magical, it made my heart melt. It had so much passion that I was left breathless. Gordo you take my breath away, you unlocked feelings that I have locked inside of me years ago" she said.
"Wait a minute, you liked or loved me in middle school" I asked.
"Gordo I have had a crush on you since like 5th grade. I always pretended like I had a huge crush on Ethan Craft because I was to embarrassed to tell Lizzie, then I noticed you started to like her, so I gave up on telling you anything and then when you guys kissed in Rome that sealed my fate and love for you" she said.
"Oh" is all I could muster up.
"Listen Gordo, I just need time to think things through. I have to talk to Lizzie about my feelings for you because she made me pinky swear that if I ever started liking you I would tell her" she said.
"Okay but talk to her soon Miranda because I don't think I can hold back from wanting to be with you" I said. "I know Gordo and I feel the same way but this has to be handled first" she said.
I grabbed Miranda back into my arms and held her. She cradled up to me like a baby. I caressed her back to calm her nerves and to let her know that I would always be there for her. Then I took my hand and caressed the side of her face and I took my finger and rubbed her beautiful soft lips. I kissed her again, I couldn't help my self. It was a quick kiss but it got my point across. She held on tight to me and we swayed back in forth. I picked her head up off my chest.
"Hurry and make up your mind on what to do my love" I said then gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"Okay, I promise I will" she said smiling.
"Maybe we should go check on Jason and Lizzie" I said releasing her from my tight grip.
"Yeah maybe I can talk to Lizzie tonight and tell her what happened" I said.
"Tell me what!" said Lizzie
Miranda and I was so caught up in our love fest that we didn't hear Lizzie and Jason walk into to kitchen.
