A phone rang breaking the awkwardness between the group of new and old friends. Lizzie was the first to react as everyone else seemed too interested in the extreme weirdness between Kate and Gordo.

"I'll get it," Lizzie said mostly to herself as she hurried to pick up the phone. "Hello?"

"Lizzie?" the voice asked.

"Yes, who is this?" she responded a bit startled by the unknown caller.

"Andrea, David's girlfriend," Andrea waited eagerly for the bubbly blonde to respond.

"Hey Andrea, how are you?"

"I could be better, but I need your help for something."

"Okay…" Lizzie was a bit confused. The way they parted didn't exactly leave them in favors, but she was willing to rectify the situation to at least be friends with the girl.

"See I think David's become bored with me, and I really love him. I can't lose him Lizzie, I just can't!" she began to cry ever so slightly and Lizzie picked up the tone in her voice.

"Oh Andrea, don't cry. He can't be getting bored with you, he loves you." She said strongly although she was quite unsure by Gordo's earlier response on the subject of Andrea.

"I know, but I just want to make him want me- so I was thinking of surprising him and coming to Parker's wedding- if that's alright," she said between sobs.

"Of course, we offered you an invitation and we're disappointed when Gordo arrived without you," Lizzie said honestly.

"Well okay, so I'm getting on a flight in a few hours, so don't tell David. I want to surprise him!" she said a bit more cheerfully.

"Of course, I can't wait," she said and was met with a dial tone.

Lizzie shook her head at the phone and made a mental note to hurt Gordo for being such an asshole to his girlfriend. Then without further ado, walked up beside said friend and put a comforting arm on his shoulder.

"So enough awkwardness, let's have a drink- a toast!" Lizzie said excitedly as she rummaged through the cupboards for some sort of alcohol. Finding a mostly full bottle of vodka, not exactly her favourite, she poured everyone a shot and they took them happily.

"To a marriage, an engagement, old friends, and new ones!" Miranda shouted and they downed their shots instantly.

"Uh so, Gordo, I don't think we've met, I'm Logan," reaching his hand forward, Gordo grabbed it reluctantly.

"Lizzie has told me nothing about you," Gordo said with a sneer- with maybe even a hint of jealously attached.

"Oh, funny, I hear stories about you all the time," Logan gave him a friendly smile and walked towards Lizzie putting a loving arm around her shoulders, quickly joining her conversation with Lance and Miranda.

Gordo mentally kicked himself for being such an asshole. Why was he still getting jealous over Lizzie's boyfriends? It'd been like a year and a half of not being with her and they were just becoming friends again. Idiot! He looked up in time to see Kate sauntering over to him casually, not making anything awkward.

"Hey," she said cheerfully.

"Hello Kate," he replied as he took a big gulp of the scotch he had acquired just moments before.

"Are we going to do this all week or are you at least going to talk to me like we're friends?" she asked accusingly as she stole the drink from him and took her own gulp from the cup.

"Shh, Kate, I don't want them to know what we do-it's not…" he paused looking for the right word.

"Healthy? Sane? Proper? Gordo like? What?" she raised her voice slightly.

"I'm dating Andrea- we both know that, but I can't get out of it. I can't hurt her," he replied honestly and took back the empty glass to refill it.

"But you can hurt me?" Kate looked deep into his saddened eyes. He paused staring at her and looked for a moment like he was going to cry.

"I don't ever want to hurt you- I just don't know how to not hurt her," Gordo stopped pouring his drink and turned to look at Kate's face. She was beautiful, he had to admit. Her hair was still golden blonde and her blue eyes sparkled when she was angry or happy. She was slim, yet not too thin and wore a lot of bright clothes still. She looked like an older, more sophisticated version of her junior high self.

"Gordo, I know when we made this…umm…arrangement, that's all it was. But now, I just, I want it to be more," she pleaded with him which was extremely rare for the hot headed bombshell that he knew and loved as Kate Saunders.

"You do? I mean, I do too, it's just let's just keep going and I'll break up with Andrea as soon as I see her, I promise," he said reassuringly and took a big risk, by kissing her neck softly and pulling away slowly.

"Gordo, be careful. The last thing we need is someone on our case right now," Kate whispered.

"I know but your neck was so inviting," a smirk flashed across his face and he moved away from Kate to go talk to Parker and Ethan.

Kate watched him slip away- he wasn't the same Gordo from junior high that was definitely for sure. Through high school he'd grown up- he was still the smart, geeky film nerd, but he had more friends and played baseball. He also grew to be six feet tall and quite muscular. Tough he never use to be into the Neanderthal type man look, he had certainly filled out nicely! She smiled and touched the spot on her neck he had kissed- another thing she loved about him was the way he kissed. He always made her warm from the slightest touch. She shook from her day dreams. Since when did Gordo make her melt?

Andrea was getting quite anxious as the taxi neared Lizzie's apartment building. She was just a tad nervous that David would be mad after being so adamant of her staying away. Still, she wanted to see him and the only way to do that was to fly across the country to see him. The sky was still bright because of the time change and Andrea smiled as a beam of sunlight hit her face.

She paid the driver and took her bags up into the building, ever step closer to Gordo. She reached the familiar apartment door and knocked suddenly waiting for it to be opened, by none other than a pretty blonde woman.

"Hello," Kate said looking at Andrea's bags and trying to place her.

"Is Lizzie here?" she asked trying to look in.

"Yeah, Lizzie," she called and opened the door wider to let the woman in.

"Andrea, hi," Lizzie greeted the woman causing Kate to jump and Gordo to look at the door.

"Hey, I just decided to come to the wedding- I really wanted to be here," she said looking towards Parker and Ethan who smiled happily in return.

"We're glad you could make it," Parker replied and gave her a soft hug as she approached.

Gordo was still frozen in place- he couldn't believe that Andrea was here. He really couldn't believe that Kate was here. Most of all he couldn't believe that Andrea and Kate were now here together- in the same room staying in the same place. Oh this was definitely going to get interesting!
