Chapter 6- All but Perfect Proposal
Lizzie showered and washed and dried her hair. She did her make up and pulled on a pair of jeans and a green sweater from Old Navy. She slipped on her Birkenstocks and stepped out onto the balcony. She guessed it was about 40 degrees outside. In California that would have been extremely cold for April, but for New York it must be pretty normal. She grabbed a jacket and went downstairs and out the door. She took a cab to the Empire State Building and took the elevator to the top. She looked around for Gordo and checked her watch. 5:55. For once she was early. Lizzie walked to the edge and looked over the railing. The surrounding buildings looked like toys and cars looked like ants. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she jumped.
"Whoa. Relax. It's me baby." Gordo wrapped his arms around her waist. She nuzzled into his shoulder.
"God, I thought somebody was going to push me off." Lizzie moaned and then laughed at her stupidity.
"Come here, I need to talk to you." Gordo pulled her over to a nearby bench and sat down next to her. "I know this might be kind of fast since we've only been together for a week, but we've known each other our whole lives. . .I seriously think everyone has a soul mate planned out for them before they are born. . .you know someone they are supposed to spend the rest of their lives with, I'm lucky enough to have known mine my ENTIRE life not just the rest of it. Lizzie, will you please make me the happiest man in the entire world and marry me?" Gordo got down on one knee and pulled at a tiny gold ring with a small petite diamond on the top.
"Awe. . .how cute!! Gordon is proposing to McGuire!" Gordo closed his eyes fearing the worst. He knew who that voice belonged to. Ethan Craft turned around from the railing smiling. Lizzie let out a small whimper and Gordo turned around to face him.
"What do you want Craft? I just want to be left alone! We want to be left alone." Gordo stood still as Ethan walked slowly toward him.
"I can't just leave you alone. I want to because you guys used to be my friends, but I have other friends now, and those friends are very angry with you two." Ethan gave them a devious smile. "Now, there is somebody I need you to see, and maybe you'll change your mind about coming with me." Ethan snapped his fingers and two men and one woman came out from around the corner. The female had long raven hair and Lizzie recognized her immediately as Miranda.
"MIRANDA!!" Lizzie screamed. Gordo's mouth dropped open. The men pushed Miranda up on to ledge. She let out an ear-piercing scream.
"If you don't come with us. . Miranda here will plummet to her death." Ethan laughed manically.
"NO!" Lizzie lunged for her friend but the men held her back.
"Lizzie, calm down sweetie." Gordo grabbed Lizzie and wiped her tears. "This is about me. Not you." He hugged her and walked past her. "What do you want from me?"
"We need you back in Hilldridge. We found your car before anyone else did, therefore nobody knows where the two of you are. We picked up on you leaving from the airport. Two tickets to New York, then we figured Blondie here went with you so we hightailed it to her house, found her note to her family, figured we need some collateral to get you back here, that's were Miranda plays in." Ethan got up close to Gordo's face.
"Fine, I'll come back. Just leave Lizzie and Miranda alone." Gordo stared into his enemy's eyes. Ethan snapped and Miranda was removed from the ledge. The men grabbed Gordo and pushed him into the elevator. "I love you Lizzie!" He yelled just as the doors closed and then he was gone. Lizzie glanced at the bench where they were sitting when he proposed to her and there the ring lay cold and forgotten on the hard cement.
