"Wow, that party was exhausting!" Lizzie said, sitting down on the couch next to Gordo.

"I still want to know how come everyone else knew that Larry was proposing except me." Gordo replied.

"Not everyone knew, just my mom and I. You're not totally out of the loop." She punched him lightly on the shoulder.

"But, still...I should have been told. I thought I was going to have a heart attack!"

"You? Think of how Miranda felt!" Lizzie laughed.

"She did look pretty stunned."

"Hey, I wonder what her and Larry are doing right now. I think I should call and find out. Maybe they want to go out for pizza!" Lizzie ran for the phone in the other room.

"Lizzie, I don't think that's a good id-" Before Gordo could finish, Lizzie had dialed Miranda's number. Gordo heard Lizzie's voice go from cheerful to embarrassed.

Lizzie came back in the room and once again plopped down next to Gordo. "You're right...not a good idea. They were, um, busy"

"As much as I love hearing that I'm right, you could have kept the last part to yourself!" Gordo winced.

"If I have to hear about it so do you."

"I wasn't the genius that decided to call them in the middle of their-eww I can't even say it." Gordo shuddered. Lizzie laughed, he looked so funny. "What are you laughing at?"

"You just looked so funny!" she giggled.

"So now I'm funny looking, McGuire?" he teased. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly. "I'm going to miss not having you in my arms all the time."

"Gordo, it's not like we're moving across country from each other! We'll be in the same city."

"I know, but it's not going to be the same. We'll be at least 20 minutes drive from each other. And of course, you'll have Kate to deal with."

Lizzie sighed. "It'll be ok, Gordo. I love you."

"I love you too Lizzie. I have something for you, that I've been wanting to give you for a long time. Actually, since sophomore year." He handed her a crinkled piece of paper. "Sorry, it's a little beat up. I've carried it with me for two years."

She took the paper from him. It looked strangely familiar to her. As she read it, tears began to fill her eyes.

**My Angel**

Stars in your eyes, Moon in your hair, Knowing that no matter what, You're always there.

Rose lip, cream skin, Soft to the touch, Perfect in every way. I love you so much.

*I love you Lizzie.*

"Gordo, why didn't you ever say anything before this summer?" she asked him.

"I never knew if you felt the same. I didn't want to be let down, and I didn't want you to hate me." Gordo looked at his shoes.

"What! I could never hate you." She took his hands and lead him up towards her bedroom. "In fact, I'll prove how much I don't hate you." She giggled.

"What about your parents?"

"Shh-They went to get a video, and knowing them, that should take at a least an hour." She laid down and posed seductively on the bed. She patted the bed and said, "Come join me."

"You don't have to ask me twice!" He said, happily joining her.

He pulled her close and inhaled her fresh smell. 'She smells like strawberries.' He looked into her eyes and then kissed her softly. 'God I love her so much.'

She touched his cheek softly and then ran her fingers through his unruly hair. She gently pulled his shirt over his head, and gently ran her fingers down his back. He shivered under her touch. He removed her shirt and began to massage her back.

"Mmm...that feels so good." She mumbled. He smiled, happy she was enjoying it. He kissed her back as he slowly massaged it, paying attention to every inch.

When she was totally relaxed, she pulled him onto the bed and returned the favor. She was gentle with her hands, and he moaned softly under her soft touch.

She was just reaching for the button on his jeans when she heard the front door open. "Shit, why now did they pick to agree on a movie so fast?"

"Do we really have to stop?" he pleaded.

"I think we had better."

"It's getting late, I should probably be heading home anyway." He gave her a pained look as he though about having to leave her.

"I know...and I don't want the parents getting suspicious. I'll walk you out." She intertwined her fingers with his and lead him to the front door. They shared a sweet kiss goodnight and he left. Lizzie changed and went to bed. She was worn out from all the excitement that day.
