A/N: Oh all three stories in one day. Am I good or what? After this, I'm working on something by piacere. Please review and thanks for the reviews. They were encouraging, because I felt like the chapter was sort of lame. Oh, and as for Matt and Miranda getting together, not likely. Sorry.

Chapter Ten
Lizzie took all this in that Gordo was telling her and didn't know what to think. It was a little weird hearing all this, but putting it together in her brain started to make everything make sense again.
"So," Gordo went on, "After all that and finally having you as mine, Harvard seems unlikely."
Lizzie laughed, as tears streamed down her face. Hearing all this was a little weird, but she had to admit that it was all touching in a weird way. This was touching, right? He was giving up Harvard to be with her. That's what she wanted, right.
"Wait," Lizzie said, "Don't you want to go to Harvard?"
Gordo shrugged, "Not if it means giving you up."
Lizzie sighed. She knew she had to do the right thing and tell him, as much as she didn't want him to go, that he should go. She didn't want to get in the way of anything, "Gordo, it's been your dream. I want you to go."
"Only if you'll go with me," he said.
"What?" Lizzie said.
"Only if you go with me," he said, "Otherwise, Harvard is out of the question."
Lizzie squinted at Gordo, "What are you trying to say?"
Gordo shrugged. Now he was getting nervous, "Lizzie, I didn't use to be, but I am now a believer in thinking that things happen for a reason. I know we've only been going out for a few short months, but that's enough to conclude that you are the love of my life."
"G-Gordo," Lizzie said, looking into his eyes, "Are you saying we should get married?"
"Only if you want to, Lizzie," Gordo said.
There, you have it. Gordo had just proposed to Lizzie.
"I don't know what to say," Lizzie said.
"Would you think about it?"
"Gordo," Lizzie said, shaking her head, "I just don't know if I'm up for that. I mean, we are only eighteen. Do you really think that's a good idea. I mean, the engagement would have to be at least four years."
Gordo sighed and shook his head, "Don't worry. I wouldn't expect to get married right away. Actually, there is something I do want to ask you about."
"What is that?" Lizzie asked.
"Well, no matter where we go to college, I think we should not break up. I mean, I think we should stick together."
"Yeah," Lizzie said, "and I don't think we should deal with marriage until after college," Lizzie said, wrapping her arms around Gordo and pulling him into a kiss.
"What can I say?" Gordo said, looking into Lizzie's eyes after breaking the kiss, "I acted on impulse."
Lizzie smiled, "I love you, too, Gordo."
"I'll never leave you Lizzie. It's you I want more than anything in the world."
Lizzie sighed, "And it's your happiness that I want more than anything."
Gordo hugged Lizzie.
"What do your parents think about you going to Harvard?"
"They want me to go, of course," Gordo said.
"Gordo," Lizzie said, "Do what makes you happy."
Gordo sighed, "Okay. If you say so," and a smile grew on his face, "but don't blame me if I drop out and come back to find you."
"No need to find me, Gordo," Lizzie said, "I'll probably be closer to you than you think."
"You know," Gordo said, "It's times like these where I wish we could get married."
Lizzie giggled, "Why?"
"Because," Gordo said, leaning closer to Lizzie, "then we could do what married people do." Gordo leaned in and tickled Lizzie, causing her to laugh at the feeling. After he stopped because she begged him to, Lizzie smiled and Gordo said, "One day we'll get married. You'll see."
Lizzie nodded her head, "In time, Gordo. Just give it time."
They both smiled, looking forward to the future. They might not completely be together, but in their hearts, they would always be together forever.
Gordo left and Miranda entered, "Geese, it took you long enough," she said, "Did Gordo tie you up or something?"
Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Oh, Miranda. If only you knew what it was like to be in love."
Little did Lizzie know, though, was that Miranda knew exactly what it was like to be in love. Exactly.
