Chapter 10. With You
The sunrise found Lizzie awake. She had been unable to sleep for a long time. Half awake, she got up and grabbed Isabella's Cd. It had only two songs, so she started to listen to them. The first was a remake of 'Take My Breath Away'. She loved that song.
"Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
My love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
My love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion
In this foolish lovers game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
My love
Take my breath away
Take my breath away"
"Wow… that was great," she muttered. "No wonder she's such a huge pop star…" her stereo kept on, and played the next song.
"The real me is a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world, like I was super girl
The real me used to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately I've been jaded life got so complicated
I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what it feels like
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you, with you, with you
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
Cuz I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what love feels right
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you
Come and take me
Love you save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself
With you
With you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now (Baby as I do now)
Now that I'm with you"
She heard some bumps in her window and looked down. Gordo was standing there, looking at her. She waved and flushed when she realized she was in an old, long lavender shirt and black shorts.
"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked. She nodded. "C'mon, I'll help you with the ladder"
"Wait! I need to change!" she said.
"You look breathtaking! Come down!" she blushed more and did what he told her to. He helped her and she jumped to the grass, falling into his arms.
'Great landing!' they both thought. He smiled and helped her up.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"To the park," he replied. She squealed and he covered her mouth with his hand.
"Gordo, I can't go to the park looking like this!" she protested.
"You want me to tell you again how beautiful you look?" he teased, trying to look her in the eye.
"…maybe…" she whispered, looking down and smiling.
"You're stunning. There's nothing better than the real Lizzie," he stated. She flushed more and squeezed his hand.
"When did you wake up? You're fully clothed!" she said, trying to change the subject (but secretly happy).
"I… I couldn't sleep. And you look great," he repeated. "Besides, you were already up when I got to your house"
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep either…" she admitted. "Let's go to the swings!" they ran to their favorite ones. They had engraved 'Lizzie Gordo 4ever' in them. She looked up to the sky. "Look, Gordo! It's beautiful!"
"Yes," he said, looking at her. "you are" She looked at him and smiled. Their hands touched and he squeezed hers. She looked down, then at his eyes. They both leaned in and kissed softly. When they pulled apart, she looked down, flushed. "Pear… with pineapple" She smiled.
"Have you kissed that many girls, Mr. Gordon?" she teased, twirling one blonde lock.
"Not one I enjoyed as much as you," he replied. She blushed more, then smiled at him. "It was kinda lazy, though" she opened her mouth in shock, placed her hand on his head, caressing his black curls, and gave him a long, deep kiss, that left him without breath.
"How was that one?" he shook his head, she sat in his lap and placed both her hands in his cheeks. The kiss was longer, deeper and left him gasping for air. "And how 'bout that?" He nodded, she went back to her swing.
"Frenchy…" he said. "I liked it"
"Gordo…" she said after a while, while they were resting in the grass, her head on his chest. "What time is it?"
"It's almost eight" she got up quickly. "What?"
"Omigosh… Isabella and Miranda are coming by at 8.30!" He walked her home.
"I'll see you at the show?" she nodded and started to climb the ladder. He turned to leave, but she went back down and gave him one last, sweet kiss. He smiled, she smiled back and got in her room.
End of chapter.
"The time is right, your perfume fills my head,
the stars get red and oh the night's so blue.
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying somethin' stupid like 'I love you'"
AN: Thanx to hotchic12 (I think Lizzie was confused herself) and to LGFever (she helped me writing this chapter).
AN2: Well, I guess we can say he didn't 'spoil it all' this time!
