A/N: Hay! Thanks for the reviews. One thing is that for the last question, one of the options was seeing Elizabeth hanging out in the mansion, when I really meant Jane. Sorry about that.

Chapter Twenty

"Come on, Gordo," Lizzie said, frustrated as she frantically looked for her shoes, "We're going to be late for the production meeting."

"What do you want me to do? I don't know where your shoes are!"

Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Gordo! Don't just sit there! You could help me look for them!"

"Fine," Gordo said, getting up from the bed and mumbling a few curse words as he looked under the bed and around the room, "What do they look like?"

"They're sandals."

"Didn't you bring, like, twenty other pairs of shoes?"

"Yeah, but that's not the point. Those are the only shoes that go with this outfit," Lizzie said.

Okay, so maybe she was stalling a little bit, as it didn't really matter what her shoes looked like, but she was in the mood to be aggravated over something.

Gordo sighed, "Lizzie, just find some other shoes to wear. We're already five minutes late!"

Lizzie huffed, "Fine," she said, "but if I can't find these shoes, you are going to buy me a new pair," she said, as she headed for the door.

Gordo rolled his eyes, but decided to refrain from arguing, "Fine, I'll get you new shoes."

Lizzie smiled frustrated as she held the door open and waited for Gordo to lead the way. Gordo managed to keep up with Lizzie as she stomped her way to the mansion. When they got there, it was obvious that everyone else was waiting for them. "What took you so long?" Greg asked.

"Sorry, sir," Lizzie said, "I couldn't find my shoes."

"It's okay," Greg said, "Now, its been over thirty six hours since our last meeting, so we have a few changes we would like to make. First of all, I've looked over the footage and I think Tory and Daniel have great physical chemistry. They complement each other with their looks and style. Unfortunately, I haven't really seen enough physical chemistry between the two of you to make me believe that you could like each other."

Lizzie gulped, wanting to glance over at Gordo to see how he reacted but at the same time, not wanting to deal with that, "So, anyway, I don't think it would hurt if the other two couples commented on how good they looked together and if possibly Tory and Daniel could respond to that with a little public display of affection, that would be great." The other couples nodded their head as if this were no big deal.

"Now, as for the other two couples, you are doing a pretty good job as far as what you're expected to do, but if their was a little more tension between Elizabeth and James, but just enough so there is room for revelations and forgiveness tomorrow. Also, Mary and George, I'm not asking for you to fight or have a flat out brawl, but if Mary could exhibit a little annoyance with George tonight, I think people would realize that you two aren't as perfect as you seem to be on the camera."

Mary and George agreed to this and so did Elizabeth and James, but before they were released for dinner, Greg had to add one more thing, "Now that Jane and Thomas are gone, there is room for one of the couples to stay in the mansion. Not tonight, but tomorrow, there will be some type of competition for it. Also, don't forget that there is a hot tub behind the mansion that would love some company. Other than that, dinner should be downstairs and I will see you tomorrow at nine sharp."

Everyone left and headed for dinner. Dinner was pretty uneventful as Lizzie was trying to plot the night out with Gordo and Gordo was sort of doing the same. The conversation between the other two couples might has well have been Greek to Lizzie and Gordo.

After dinner, Elizabeth suggested that they go outside and hang out and have a few drinks. They agreed and before they knew it, they were all out there having a good time. Elizabeth was sitting on James' lap, sort of leading the conversation as Mary and George were sitting in their own chairs, but holding hands. Lizzie and Gordo were sharing a bench.

"So," Elizabeth said, pointing at Lizzie an Gordo, "Did you two know that you look amazing together?"

Lizzie blushed, even though she knew she had it coming, "Really? You think?"

Elizabeth nodded, "Uh-huh," she said, "Like, seriously, If I looked like you, Tory, I'd be all over someone like Daniel because not only is he hot but I'm pretty sure he'd make me feel hot."

Lizzie laughed, realizing that Elizabeth was a little drunk. She smiled, "Thank you."

"Don't you agree with me, Mary?" Elizabeth said, "I mean, we are all pretty good looking people, but, like you and me don't look nearly as good standing next to Daniel as Tory does. I mean...Damn!"

Mary nodded, sipping her Bloody Mary, "You two do look really good together," she said to Tory.

It was then that Gordo, not knowing if this was stupid or smart, decided to pt his arm around Lizzie. Lizzie shifted slightly, but tried to hide it with a smile.

Elizabeth stood up, "Okay, well, I have a proposal. Why don't we all go get changed and meet back at the hot tub in, like, ten minutes? Come on, Jamie, you can help me pick out a bathing suit."

Elizabeth and James left, followed by Mary and George, and then after quickly glancing at each other awkwardly, Lizzie and Gordo got up as well.

Ten minutes later, they were all in the hot tub. Lizzie was wearing a baby blue bikini and Gordo was wearing blue boxers and they were the last couple to come in and when they noticed that the girls were sitting on the guys' laps, they decided that's what they'd do. This made Gordo feel slightly nervous, knowing that he could potentially become excited if he wasn't careful, but he didn't know what else to do. Lizzie sat on his lap and he put his arms around her waist as they joined in on the conversation. Less than ten minutes later, however, Mary and George excused themselves, after having a slight "argument." This left them with Elizabeth and James, who had shifted their attention to themselves, leaving Lizzie and Gordo to deal with each other.

Lizzie turned to Gordo and after taking in a breath leaned in and gave him a small kiss, and then, for the heck of it, added a giggle as she leaned back in and she shared another, longer kiss. As the kiss grew deeper, they both seemed to forget what was really going on as Gordo pulled Lizzie closer to him and they seemed to feel a little more comfortable tongue tied than they did a few nights before. They didn't know exactly how much time had passed as they sat there in passion. Lizzie didn't even let it become awkward when she could feel Gordo's excitement in his bathing suit. She just let it happen, hoping that Gordo would somehow get the idea that she was open to falling in love with him again.

When they parted for air, they realized that they were the only ones there. Gordo cleared his throat, as he still held her pretty tightly in his arms on his lap, "Maybe we should go in our room."

"Yeah," Lizzie said, looking from Gordo's lips to his eyes. She didn't want to stop kissing him, as her feelings for him were becoming more intense. She forgot what it felt like to kiss someone she was in love with. She slowly stood up and got out of the tub and Gordo followed. After drying off for a short time, they started back for the hut.

When they got there, they got dressed and ready for bed. Neither of them could stop thinking about their time in the hot tub. Maybe the feelings they were having were mutual.

It was just something else to sleep on that night before they would wake up for another, hopefully less exciting day.

But then Gordo thought about the host, Ryan. What was up with Lizzie and him earlier that day? Was that planned?
