It was somewhere around midmorning and Miranda was sitting at her kitchen table drinking some coffee and reading the paper. It had been two days since Gordo and Lizzie reunion that night at the restaurant and Miranda was nothing but ecstatic. Not only had Gordo and Lizzie been getting along since that night but the two of them have been practically spending every waking moment of their days together. Just last night the three of them had rented a crap load of movies and ate a ton of junk food while watching them. They all had a lot of fun and it made them feel like kids again.Miranda couldn't help but notice how Lizzie was practically holding onto Gordo for dear life through the whole horror movie that Gordo had picked for them to watch.
Hearing Lizzie laughter coming down the stairs Miranda looked up and smiled when she saw her blonde best friend coming down the steps. Miranda watched also as an embarrassed looking Gordo came into sight and followed Lizzie down the stairs.Gordo had managed to get himself dressed and was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a nice black sweater.Lizzie on the other hand was still wearing her sweat pants and her favorite sleep shirt. The one that had the words 'Why Yes Blondes Do Have More Fun' written across it. Once again noticing Gordo embarrassment and how hard Lizzie was laughing, Miranda interest was peaked.
"Oh God Gordo please tell me you're making this up?!" Lizzie said letting out a snort that sounded something like a person who couldn't breath because they were laughing so hard. In fact that was what Lizzie was actually doing. She was laughing so hard tears were running down her cheeks.
"See I knew I shouldn't have told you that story!" said David frowning and pointing a finger at Lizzie "Because I knew if I did all you'd do was start laughing and make fun of me!"
"I am sorry Gordo." said Lizzie still laughing "Just the thought of you on stage and dancing......" Finally it was to much for Lizzie as she fell down on the kitchen table chair, laid her head down on the table and begin to laugh uncontrollably.
"What the hell has you laughing so much McGuire?" asked Miranda her interested definitely perked now after hearing the words stage and dancing.
"Gordo.....stripper.....worked......in Vegas!" Lizzie spit out between laughs only raising her head up from the table for a second to say the words.
"DAVID GORDON!!" Miranda shouted her jaw on the floor and her eyes went wide open in shock "You worked as a stripper?!"
"NO, YES, NO!" said David shaking his head with red touching his cheeks "It's a long story and it's no way like the way it sounds."
"Ok first off the answer to whether or not you were a stripper is either yes or no, not both." said Miranda "And second if you didn't work as a stripper than how come your blushing as red as an apple?"
Dear God I am blushing!, thought David as he felt the heat on his face. I'm an undercover cop who sees and deals with things that would make most people in this world sick. So why is it that when I'm with these two women I start blushing like some naive Sunday school teacher.
"Alright mister!" said Miranda motioning for Gordo to sit down next to her "If you didn't work as a stripper than why did Lizzie just say you did?"
"Look it's very simple and so not what you think." said David while sitting down at the table and fighting the urge to bang his head against the table "Back in Vegas we suspected a strip club of supplying cocaine out on the street but were never able to catch them doing it. We never saw anything with surveillance nor were we able to set up a buy from them in hopes of busting them. So for a time we were stumped on how to get the goods on them. That was until my Captain decided to try to get a man inside the club and since the club was looking for a new dancer at the time he thought that would be the best way to get a man inside."
"And?" asked Miranda probing Gordo on with his story. She so wanted to know because she could see Lizzie out of the corner of her eye and the girl was still laughing.
"And" sighed David "Since Rodney and I are the two most uhhhhh...." David stopped for a second to find the best way to say it"....best in shape men on our team the Captain made us go and try out for the stripper part. They hired Rodney for the job but yes I did have to get up on stage and uhhhh...move my stuff you might say for the audition."
Miranda had just taken a sip of her coffee and almost choked on it when she heard the dreaded R word. David now was the one laughing as Miranda had to take a second to catch her breath before saying "RODNEY!! That knuckle dragging Neanderthal that you call a partner worked as a stripper?!"
"Yep he was the one they hired. But he never actually got on stage and danced, because he found where they hid the drugs first." said David who than got a wicked glint in his eyes "But Miranda I'm sure that if you'd like him too Rodney wouldn't mind putting on a private show just for you."
This time it was Gordo who got to laugh when Miranda was the one starting to turn red.
"WHAT?!" shouted Miranda shaking her head "I think I'd rather become a chaste nun than have anything even remotely sexual with that moron!"
Uh huh David thought to himself knowing better but didn't say it outloud. Miranda my old pal I do believe you do protest to much.
But it was neither Gordo or Miranda who was the one who spoke and put their foot in their mouth while doing it. That honor was left just to Lizzie.
"Gordo as a stripper now that's just to funny." said Lizzie "I'd have like to have seen that."
Both Miranda and David turned in their seats to look at her with smirks on their faces.
"Oh really?" both David and Miranda said at the same time.
Now Lizzie was the one turning beat red from embarrassment. Lizzie slapped her hands over her mouth and mumbled through them."Oh my God please tell me I didn't just say that out loud?"
"You sure did girlfriend." laughed Miranda noticing how Gordo was again looking embarrassed after Lizzie comment. So I guess Mister I'm So Over Her might not be so over her as he thinks he is. Miranda was now starting to get more and more happy about this situation the three of them were now in.
"So Miranda what are you and Lizzie planning for today?" asked David in a desperate attempt to change the subject off him.
"Well, I took sometime off from work and I hoped that the three of us could just hang out and do stuff together like we use to do as kids." said Miranda.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." said Lizzie looking at Gordo with a silent plea that he would join them and do it because he wanted to go not because she wanted him too.
"Sure you guys can count me in." said David getting a smile from both women after saying it.
"Alright but before we do anything or go anywhere I need to take a quick shower first." said Lizzie as she jumped up from the table and started upstairs for the bathroom.
Miranda smiled as she noticed how Gordo watched Lizzie as she went all the way up the stairs."Gordo." said Miranda but not getting his attention "Gordo!" said Miranda waving her hand in his face causing him to swing around to face her.
"What Sanchez?"
"I was just wondering where do you think we should go today?" said Miranda still smiling.
"This is yours and Lizzie town Miranda." said David shrugging his shoulders "I don't care where we go or what we do."
"Ok but before we do anything today I do need to swing by the county jail and drop these divorce papers off on Kevin ass." said Miranda opening up her ever present briefcase and pulling out a legal folder full of papers.
"Oh no" said David taken the folder from Miranda and letting loose with a big smile that held no humor in it what so ever "You must let me have the pleasure of doing that.I was planning on having a long talk with our friend Mr.Tyler anyway."
"Gordo" said Miranda warningly knowing what Gordo was now capable of when he was mad at someone.
"Don't worry Miranda I won't kill him, maim him or anything bad like that." said David as he got up and headed back for the door. "Well maybe I won't maim him to much." said David as he stopped at the door to put on his coat "You and Lizzie meet me in about an hour at that new huge mall that you drug me to the last time I was here. I'll be there waiting for you in front of the shoe store for I know that's where you two will want to go first." David opened the door and turned to look back at Miranda still with that no happiness smile on his face "I'll be along shortly after I drop this papers off to my old pal Kevin.And than after I do that I'm going to have a nice man to man talk with him."
"Oh hell" muttered Miranda as she watched Gordo shut the door, get in his car and start down the road.
