I do not own Lizzie McGuire (everyone stay away from Hilary thought cause
she is mine)
Chapter 6- Sam Talks to Gordo
Sam McGuire began what was to be a very long conversation with David Gordon, "Gordo, I have known you all your life and I see you as often as I see my own children. What I'm trying to say is, I consider you to be my other son."
He does what?! Gordo was taken aback by this but finally responded with, "Wow I feel really honored, thanks Mr. McGuire. That means a lot to me really."
Sam smiled and forged on, "I know it does and I also know that you really don't have any male influences in your life you can talk to with your dad staying so busy all the time."
Gordo had no idea where he was going or what to say
"I just want to make sure you know that you can come to me about anything you need help with. All you have to do is ask." Sam finished.
That's great to know and everything but, "Mr. McGuire why are you telling me this now?" Gordo inquired not sure what was going on.
"Because you are going through I big change in your life right now." Sam answered in a matter of fact tone.
"High school?" Gordo responded hoping that's what he meant.
Sam was undaunted, "Well that to, but I think you know what I'm really talking about."
Gordo simply gave Sam a look that said, 'not a clue.'
"Your relationship with Lizzie is changing, we all see it."
See it?! "See it?!" Gordo asked curious, annoyed, and confused all at the same time. Sam became almost flustered before stopping himself so he could make his point. "David, do you honestly believe I don't see the way you look at Lizzie?" Sam asked in a tone that suggested that he didn't particularly want Gordo to answer the question.
Gordo starting playing dumb, "The way I what?"
Sam smiled to himself before he answered, "David you look at her the same way I look at Jo."
Gordo was still playing dumb, "Which is?"
Sam thought about what he wanted to say, then continued, "When you look at her you have this look in your eyes that's says: I'll give up anything and everything in this world me just as long as I am here with her everything is ok. You hang on her every word, her every move, and every time her eyes blink. Her opinion of you means everything to you."
"How do you know that?" Gordo asked admitting out loud to himself and to Sam that he was exactly right.
"Because Jo has the same effect on me. Its called love David." Sam answered in a very empathetic tone.
Gordo looked at Sam, sighed and let down his guard, "I need some advice."
"Sure David, go ahead." Sam replied assured he was getting through to Gordo.
Here we go... "I'm scared. I'm scared she won't want to risk losing what we have. I'm scared she will assume she only loves me as a friend. Scared she will get too confused, or things will get too awkward and we will lose what we have. I'm scared I will mess up some how. I'm afraid I will make a wrong move, say the wrong thing, move too fast or move to slow.
After the awards, she kissed me...and I don't know why yet. I've been having conversations about mine and Lizzie's feelings and our relationship with Mrs. McGuire, Miranda, and now you. I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do. I'm not used to be so confused like this." Gordo finished relieved to get that off his chest.
"Finished?" Sam inquired.
"Yeah," Gordo answered plainly.
"Feel better?" Sam asked although he knew the answer.
"Yes, a little" Gordo replied honestly.
Sam prepared his advice in his head and started, "David, for now stop trying to understand everything. The answers will come to you. Trust your heart and trust Lizzie. Don't over analyze things. Be honest, you yourself and to her. And don't ever be afraid, things like this have a way of working themselves out. If it's meant to be, it will happen."
Gordo looked down then looked at Sam and he smiled. He understood everything he had just told him. Sam gave him a knowing smile back.
"Thank you," Gordo managed in a simple grateful tone.
"You're welcome, now lets go see what where Matt wandered off too." Sam replied as he turned to see where his youngest son had gone off too.
