PinkPrincess – Thanks for the offer. My spanish is horrible so I use an online translator, but I know that it isn't 100 accurate. Another reason why I put the english translation too. I have a question for you on another story I'm writing but I'm not sure about your email address. Do you still use the address that's in your profile?
A/N – "Thoughts"
Chapter 10 – Turnabout Is Fairplay
Miranda laid on her stomach ontop of her bed and was flipping through a Sports Illustrated. Her head was propped up with one hand and her other hand was absentmindedly playing with Gordo's hair as he sat on the floor next to the bed brainstorming ideas for his next project. For Miranda, playing with Gordo's hair had become a weird but additive way to calm herself.
It had been about two months since the birthday incident and tomorrow was Miranda's birthday but they had agreed that nothing would happen beyond a little making out.
Closing the magazine, Miranda straightened her arm and laid her head down. "Gordo," she softly called as she wrapped one of his curls around her finger.
"Hmm," he said without looking up from his notepad.
With a small smile, she tugged at his hair causing Gordo to wince slightly. Looking over his shoulder, he gave her an irritated look.
"What are you getting me for my birthday?" she asked sweetly.
Gordo's face softened and he tried not to laugh, "I'm not telling you. You'll get it tomorrow."
Shifting her position, she slid her hands down Gordo's neck and into the collar of his shirt, and carefully balancing herself on the edge of the bed, she started to kiss his ear. "Please," she whispered.
Gordo growled softly, "I hate it when you do this."
Miranda giggled as she started kissing down his cheek and then to his lips. Gordo reached a hand up and gently held the back of Miranda's head, helping support it.
A cough from the doorway interrupted them. Breaking away, Miranda rolled over and sat up and Gordo moved so he was now kneeling next to the bed.
Mrs. Sanchez stood in the doorway watching them, trying very hard to suppress a smile and remain in mom mode. "Lizzie called. She'll be over in a hour to pick you up to go shopping."
Miranda looked confused for a moment, "The phone rang?"
Mrs. Sanchez smirked, "Yes it did. You were probably a little too distracted to notice," she said sarcastically. "Just remember the rules," she said as she walked away.
When they had first started going out, both parents had set down rules for the new couple. For Gordo, they were the same rules he had gotten with Lizzie. No being in the house alone with each other, bedroom doors must remain open, etc. But after the birthday incident, the rules had become more strict and they came under more scrutiny. It seemed like every few minutes a parent was passing by when they were in the other's house, even at the McGuires.
"You're lucky," Miranda said to Gordo with an evil smile. Gordo just grinned at her.
"You going prom shopping?" Gordo asked as he put his notebook into his bookbag.
"Yea."
"I thought you had everything?" Gordo asked standing up.
"I do but Lizzie is freaking out about her shoes," Miranda said while rolling her eyes. "I'm not just going with a date, he's my boyfriend now. Everything has to be perfect," Miranda said as she tried to mimic Lizzie.
"Was she like this when she dated me?"
Miranda rolled her eyes, "Worse."
Gordo laughed at her and Miranda grinned up at him. "Must be nice already having a date this time," Gordo teased.
"Defiantly," Miranda shot back. "He's the perfect guy. My date is gonna be a hundred times better than any little whore you bribed into being your date," she said laughing softly.
"Please. My date could be a model and will blow yours out of the water." By now they were both cracking up.
"If she's so beautiful, I feel sorry for her having to lower herself to going with someone like you."
"That's it," Gordo said and dove ontop of Miranda. Miranda tried her best to wiggle free but Gordo had her pinned and as he started tickling her, Miranda started laughing hysterically and tried to tickle him back.
Another cough from the doorway interrupted them again. Both looked up to see Mr. Sanchez glaring at them, or specifically at Gordo.
As Gordo rolled off and Mr. Sanchez walked away, they started laughing again. "I don't think he likes me anymore," Gordo joked.
"Well you did try to sleep with his little girl."
"You tried to seduce me."
Miranda arched an eyebrow, "Tried?" she said sarcastically. "Baby, I had you eating out of my hand." Turning, Miranda looked at the time on her alarm clock, "Damn. I gotta get ready." Jumping off the bed, Miranda started to walk towards the bathroom, "I'll be right back." Gordo nodded and sat down at her desk.
Miranda's cell phone started going off and from halfway down the hall, Miranda yelled back, "Gordo! Can you answer that please."
"Sure," he yelled back. Picking up the small purple phone, "Hello."
"Hello. This is the Regents Hotel and I'm looking for a Mrs. Miranda Sanchez," a female voice said on the other end.
Gordo looked out the window confused for a moment, "Why is a hotel calling for Miranda." "She's unavailable at the moment, can I take a message," he said.
"Yes. We just wanted to let her know that we were able to get the room she requested."
Gordo was now really curious and decided to play along. "Oh yes. This is her boyfriend." "Miranda's planning a surprise for prom night," he thought with a smile. Then an idea suddenly hit him, "I'd like to make a special request for the room."
"Of course," As Gordo made his request, the hotel was more than happy to do it.
"Thank you. Oh and one more thing. I'd like it to be a surprise, so if you could, can you call back in like five minutes with the same message, just leave out me and the surprise."
"Certainly sir."
"Thank you. Goodbye," Gordo said as he hung up the phone.
A minute later Miranda walked into the room, "Who was it?"
Gordo shrugged and told her, "Wrong number." Walking over, he kissed her, "I'll talk to ya later. Have fun."
"I should have the rest of the prom details by tonight. I call ya later," Miranda said and then kissed him again, "Bye Gordo."
As Gordo walked down the hall and reached the stairs, he heard Miranda's cell phone go off again. Smiling to himself, he started walking down the stairs. "I shall have my revenge," he joked to himself with a laugh as he walked out of the house.
