Thanks for all the reviews! This one is going to be longer I promise!
Lizzie was sitting on her bed hugging her knees to her chin. Gordo had wanted to tell her something earlier but Miranda had interrupted. Sure, she was glad to see Miranda, but she couldn't help wondering what Gordo had really wanted to say. She jumped slightly as her cell phone beeped beside her. She picked it up and read the message:
Liz, meet me outside my house in 10 mins! Gordo
Lizzie picked up her discarded jacket and put it on. She quickly told her mom she was going to Gordo's and then was on her way. As she walked through the familiar streets she wondered what Gordo was up to. She eventually reached Gordo's house and saw him sitting on the bench in his garden. He stood up as soon as he saw her.
"Hi." He said quickly.
"Hey! So what's up?" Lizzie asked curiously.
"Take a seat McGuire, I think you might need it when you hear what I'm going to say." Gordo said.
Lizzie followed his instructions and sat down on the bench. He didn't sit down beside her but paced up and down in front of her.
"Lizzie, we've been friends since like forever." Gordo started off.
"Yeah..since we were one day old!" Lizzie continued for him.
"Yeah, well you know I'd do anything for you…" Gordo said.
"What about Miranda?" Lizzie asked.
At this stage Gordo sat down suddenly.
"I wouldn't do just anything for Miranda…but you…" Gordo trailed off.
It was Lizzie's turn to feel nervous now.
"What are you trying to say Gordo?" Lizzie asked.
Gordo was just about to reply when somebody walked up his driveway.
"Hey Gordo!" Parker said, smiling at Lizzie also.
"You want me to leave Gordo?" Lizzie asked.
"Parker, this is a bad time.." Gordo started.
"You look as if you're about to tell her you love her or something!" Parker laughed.
Gordo's face immediately fell and Lizzie noticed. She stood up to defend Gordo.
"So what if he was? Is there a problem with that?" Lizzie asked.
Gordo's eyes opened wide in amazement.
"Maybe I was just about to tell him I love him before I was rudely interrupted." Lizzie added as an afterthought.
Lizzie noticed Gordo turning red. Parker turned and left quickly obviously embarrassed.
"Liz, did you mean what you just said?" Gordo asked nervously.
Lizzie looked down at her hands.
FLASHBACK
6 year olds Lizzie and Gordo held hands as they watched a wedding come from the church.
"I'm going to be the girl, you can be the boy!" Lizzie told Gordo.
They acted out the wedding and proclaimed there "love" for each other.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Well?" Gordo prompted her.
Lizzie turned round and faced Gordo. She kissed him gently on the cheek and then stood up.
