As Gordo and Lizzie were untangling themselves from one another and
straightening out their clothing, Miranda was asking question after
question.
"Oh my gosh, how did this happen? Lizzie, did you tell Gordo? Or Gordo, did you tell Lizzie? How did this happen? Did you guys have the best day?" Miranda asked in rapid-fire progression.
"Whoa, Miranda, slow down," Gordo said.
"I need to know what happened!" Miranda said.
Lizzie explained how they'd been caught holding hands with each other, by Kate; and that after that the whole thing just came out.
"So, are you like dating now?" Miranda asked.
"Not really. We're just going to take things slow and see what happens. We're not going to make a commitment right now," Lizzie explained.
"Okay, no commitments, but do you have rules?" Miranda asked.
"What do you mean by rules?" Gordo asked.
"Well, even if you're just seeing each other and not going out or dating, there should be rules. Like, are you allowed to see other people while you're seeing each other? Or, is it a given that you will have a date on Friday nights? You know, stuff like that," Miranda said.
"I guess I never really thought about it," Gordo said.
"Me neither, but I know I don't want to see anyone else and I'd be upset if Gordo did," Lizzie said.
"I agree, no seeing other people," Gordo said, "As for dates being a given, we always hang out anyway, what else would either of us being doing?"
"Good point, I don't think we need to worry about that one," Lizzie said.
"I have one," Miranda said, "If you were previously part of a group of three and two of those people started dating, you are not allowed to ditch the third person."
"Miranda, we would not let that happen," Lizzie said.
"Yeah, we might want time alone every once in a while, but you are our best friend, we want to hang out with you too," Gordo said reassuringly.
The three went down to the den to watch movies. After the first movie Gordo had fallen asleep. Lizzie and Miranda decided to have a little girl talk and went out and sat on the patio.
"This seems like the weirdest thing to ask, but, is Gordo a good kisser?" Miranda asked.
"Yes," Lizzie said.
"Care to expand on that answer?" Miranda asked dryly.
"Well, if it seemed weird for you to ask me about it, it also seems weird for me to talk to you about it because it's not like it's some outside person I'm seeing and kissing, it's Gordo. But, I can tell you," Lizzie said, "He is a good kisser, but more than that I think is just the awesome chemistry between us. Kissing him is different than anyone else I've ever kissed before. There is more of a tingle or a spark. We could hardly keep our lips off each other at the park today."
"Okay, I did not need to know that last part," Miranda said with a semi- disgusted look.
"Sorry," Lizzie said and giggled, "I am so glad that I took your advice and just went for it. I am so happy and excited about what happened."
"I am really happy for you guys. I just wish that I had someone now. Watching the two of you together just makes me realize that much more that I am single," Miranda said and sighed.
"Miranda, you'll find someone. Just be patient," Lizzie said.
Miranda decided to call it a night and said good-bye to Lizzie. Gordo was still asleep on the couch; Lizzie carefully leaned over him and kissed him softly on the lips. Gordo's eyes flew open and then softened when he saw it was Lizzie who had woken him up.
"Hey, did I fall asleep?" Gordo asked groggily.
"Yeah, we finished the first movie. Miranda chatted for a while out on the patio and she just went home," Lizzie explained.
"Do you want me to go home too," Gordo asked.
"No, you don't have to," Lizzie replied, "Let's go up to my room."
Lizzie pushed the door most of the way shut and sat down on the bed. Gordo sat next to her and started to lean in for a kiss when Lizzie stopped him.
"Let's just talk for a little while first," Lizzie said.
"Sure, what about?" Gordo asked sounding slightly wounded.
"Miranda. She's excited for us to finally be together, I think she has been trying to get us together for a long time. But, now that we are together, it just really reminds her that she has no one and it makes her sad. She is worried that we are going to forget to include her," Lizzie said.
"So, what do we do?" Gordo asked.
"Well, we need to be sure that she always feels included. But, I think we need to try set Miranda up with someone. Got any ideas?" Lizzie asked.
Gordo sat pondering the idea for a few minutes and said, "I'll have to get back to you on that one. That could be fun though. If Miranda starting seeing someone we could all double date," Gordo said,
"Don't you like being alone with me?" Lizzie asked coyly.
"Of course, I'm just saying that it would be fun. Do not underestimate the amount of enjoyment I get out of being alone with you," Gordo said as he pulled Lizzie closer to him.
The two were innocently kissing on the bed when Jo walked by the room. She's gotten out of bed for a drink of water. While she was slightly surprised by what she was seeing, she was happy. She had always thought Gordo was such a nice young man and she'd always hoped that someday the two of them would get together. It had been obvious to her for years that they were meant for each other. Jo smiled and continued back to her room. She'd have to lay down some rules for Lizzie about having boys in her room, but this time she would let it slide.
About an hour later, Gordo finally decided to go home. But with all the stops the two made to make out some more on the way to the front door, it was a half an hour later before he finally got going.
"Good-night Lizzie," Gordo said sweetly.
"Good-night Gordo," Lizzie said, slightly breathlessly.
As Gordo backed out of the driveway and Lizzie waved to him, she thought, "This really was the best day ever!"
"Oh my gosh, how did this happen? Lizzie, did you tell Gordo? Or Gordo, did you tell Lizzie? How did this happen? Did you guys have the best day?" Miranda asked in rapid-fire progression.
"Whoa, Miranda, slow down," Gordo said.
