" Come on, Miranda! We've only been going out for a couple of months!"
Lizzie cried as giggles filled her ears.
" I know...I was just making sure you were listening to me, mentioning you and Hayden doing ungodly things sure got your attention."
Miranda noticed that only breathing could be heard now and then used it as her chance to jump in. " Whats up, Liz? Even all the way from Flordia I can see you twirling your hair nervously and biting your lip to hell."
Miranda had flown to Flordia with her family to visit some relatives for the summer which drove them both crazy. Lizzie's fingers froze in mid-twirl as smile flashed across her face. How could she be so so easily read by her friends?
" Im just worried...thats all. Gordo has been really distant lately, I just hope I didn't do anything to upset him."
Miranda started to laugh at that, " No shit, Liz. Youre being naive...don't you think that it hurts him to watch you with Hayden?"
Ouch, talk about not beating around the bush.
" Why would it? When I talked to you guys about me and Hayden getting together you both gave me your blessings." She explained with disbeleif.
" Lizzie...sometimes you're so clueless it's not even funny...look I have to get off the phone, I get to go to some lame Museum.." She faked enthusiasm.
" Okay...see ya.." She muttered, taking Mirandas words into thought.
" Ciao babe," Miranda hung up the phone with a grin, " you have no clue.." ~~~~~~~~~
Lizzie sat infront of her mirror as she perfected her look, lifting up her delicate hands she fluffed her long spiraled curls a little then searched for her light pink lipgloss. Hazel eyes swept over her reflection. She had decided to wear some form fitting denim jeans, a dark blue baby-tee and her Converse low-tops. Lizzie wanted to make their five month anniversary dinner as comfortable and memorable as possible. She wanted everything to be perfect.
A knock interrupted her busy hands that pulled this and tugged at that..
knock..knock..
" Matt! Can you get the door! Hayden is going to be here any minute!" She called impatiently and searched for her purse.
...knock.." Matt!" She yelled again..knock..
" Ugh! Nevermind!" Lizzie exclaimed as she marched down the stairs and swung open the door to see a very wide eyed Gordo infront of her.
" Hey...uh...," Gordo choked out uneasily as his eyes traveled across her face and down her body...she looked so amazing it took his breath away, why did she have to be so damn pretty? Oh, and not to mention those eyes..He gripped the object in his hand tighter as if it could give him strength, " Um...I brought the movie, you had the popcorn and snacks, right?"
" Huh?" She asked dumbfoundly.
"..Movie night...Friday night...you said just bring the movie and you could get the rest..."
" Oh my gosh!" Realization hit as her cheeks flushed a crimsion shade. " Im so sorry but you see...today I made plans to have dinner at Haydens because it was our five month anniversary and it completely slipped my mind! Im so sorry, Gordo, I swear I'll make it up to you!"
" Oh.." He breathed. " thats fine...wait...you know what. It's not fine. Lizzie Im beginning to wonder if you're actually trying to forget all about our friendship or its just coming naturally."
After that being said he turned around and left...it wasn't the fact she forgot, its because she has been doing that alot lately. If Hayden made her so happy she could have him. He could find someone new, he didn't need her...did he?
~~~~~~~~~~
Lizzie's inner core stung as if he stuck a knife in it and gave it a brutal twist. She was so shocked she almost missed the man standing infront of her commenting on how she looked.
" Liz...yo? Come on, we're going to be late." He said as he took her hand and led her to his beat up Chevi.
" Yeah...sure, lets go."
~~~~~~~
During dinner at 'Jerrys' Lizzie picked at her food as Hayden went on about some football game...honestly she didnt even know, she wasn't even paying attention. Her mind kept reeling back to what Gordo had said. She didn't want to hurt him, if only she could talk to him to explain herself. The last thing in the world she wanted was Gordo angry with her.
" Lizzie, whats up with you tonight?" Hayden asked her firmly as she sipped on her glass of juice.
Looking up for one of the first times since they sat down and ordered she gave Hayden a confused glance.
" You've been so out there tonight, whats up?" He repeated himself.
" Me amd Gordo just got into an argument...Im just worried."
" Forget about the little shit, you have me."
" He's my best friend." She said with disbelief. Where did he get off?
" I thought I was your best friend."
Lizzie didn't know how to respond to that and obviously he noticed because he had the look of pure control in his eyes as he paid the bill and pulled her up by her hand.
" Come on, lets go back to my house, I can make you forget all about Frodo." Hayden said seductively.
" Gordo." She corrected.
" Whatever...come on, baby." He kissed her neck.
She didn't know how it happened, her head was spinning from all of the events taking place. The last thing she remembered was she was on her way out of the resturant, Haydens hand on her lower back and her vision fading to black.
So much for a memorable night.
