Authors note: Ok I'm back, only to finish this last chapter though. Tell me what you think.


Only time could tell. It had been one day since Lizzie had given Gordo his choices. Lizzie had been nervous, and felt selfish saying it to him, but she had to do what she had to do. Miranda agreed with her decision. There, on her bed, she sat, starring at her phone to ring. But it didn't. Inside she felt jittery. Did she really want Gordo? She was always told they were meant to be. That scared her. She didn't want to know the future. She didn't want to already be marked as territory.

However, she did know what she knew today,here,now. She knew she had an empty, cold, lonely place in her heart that she needed warmed up. She knew that her fingers had spaces between them to be filled with another persons fingers. And she wanted, yet needed those set of fingers to be Gordo's. When she gave him that kiss, it set off every emotion she had for him and made her realise that she didn't want anybody else. Gordo was the only guy so far that made her feel different; special,wanted, and loved. She knew that he loved her as a best friend.

But she hoped that he could love her as his girlfriend. She grew impatient waiting on his call. Not to mention that he didn't even say he would call. 'Maybe I wasn't his choice,' She thought. That was all it took and soon she was letting her emotions get the best of her. She slowly reached up and wiped away a tear that made it's way down her cheek.

Then the phone rang. Hurridly she answered it but only to find that it was Miranda. Not sounding her blonde,bubbily self, Miranda sensed something was wrong.

"Expecting it to be Gordo?" The hispanice girl implied.

"N-no.." Lizzie snarled. She knew Miranda knew she was lieing though.

"Yeah, right Lizzie! You're not a very good liar,"

As Lizzie was about to argue, her mom called her down the stairs. Seeking relief, Lizzie explained to Miranda that she had to go and hung up the phone. Lizzie opened her door and walked out.

"Yeah mom, what did you need?" She chirped not wanting her mom to think something was up.

"Oh, um Gordo's here to see you, he's in the livingroom waiting hun," Joe stated while giving Lizzie a tray full of cookies and milk. "Here ya go, thought you'd two like a treat," She said while shewing Lizzie off to the next destination.

Lizzie mumbled under her breath when she saw Gordo. She wasn't expecting him over. She found Gordo sitting on the couch looking at his hands. She quickly ran her fingers througb her hair and smoothed out her clothes.

"H-hey!" She stumbled while sitting down the tray. "My mom sent these,"

Gordo looked up, reached for a cookie and smiled. "Hey McGuire,"

"So.." Lizzie said while flopping down on the couch.

"So.." Gordo mocked.

Lizzie looked away from him. "You came for a reason, d-didn't you?" She slowly asked.

Gordo winced. "Y-Yeah,"

When Lizzie was silent, he continued. "Lizzie, you look beautiful," He whispered, not sure if that was the right thing to say.

Lizzie jerked her head over at him and coughed. "No..I-I don't" She said while examining herself. Gordo launched over at her and gently turned her face towards him.

"Don't ever say that. Lizzie, here I sit, looking at you. Yes you have no make-up on, so what that your hair is messy, and who cares that you're wearing sweats and a tank top. You've never looked prettier in my eyes," He said as a matter of factly.

Lizzie swallowed her tears. "Thanks Gordo. That's really sweet,"

Taking the next opportunity, Gordo chose to speek again.

"Lizzie, I came to tell you that.." Gordo paused while taking her hands in his own. But let go when he felt Lizzie jump. "That I phoned Parker and told her that it was over." He said while looking seriously at Lizzie. "Lizzie I want to be with you. I feel myself when I'm with you. You give me the feeling that everything is going to be okay. And I need that. Lizzie I need you. Lizzie I...I l-love you"

Lizzie smiled. She gently grabbed his hands and brought her mouth up to Gordo's ears.

"I love you too David" She whispered.

Gordo cupped her chin in his hands and she leaned away from his ear. They looked eachother in the eyes until they no longer could stand it and leant in to give eachother a passionate kiss.

Not far away, a very happy Joe McGuire smiled as she knew that later on in the future she would be helping Lizzie plan her wedding with the man she was meant to be with.

The End!!!
