HEY! SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER OUT! IT'S BEEN HARDER WITH SCHOOL STARTING! ENJOY!
Chapter 6: Making UpA few hours after Gordo and Adam had "gotten into it", everything seemed normal. But there were some small misdemeanors.
Lizzie wasn't talking to Gordo, Miranda wasn't even looking at Adam and kept giving Gordo the evil eye, Adam wasn't talking to anyone but Lizzie and Gordo wasn't talking to anyone.
Oh, this is the best birthday ever! Lizzie thought sarcastically.
As she replayed the events in her head she knew that she should have just accepted the ring. But she also knew that Gordo wanted more than she was willing to offer to him. He wanted more than friendship. Lizzie also knew that if she had accepted the ring it would have angered Adam.
By the end of the night, Lizzie hadn't spoken two words to Gordo; She knew that their life long friendship couldn't be ruined over this!
Lizzie followed him outside when she saw him get up to leave.
"Gordo! Please stop and listen to me!" Lizzie was panting from following him.
Gordo turned around and when he did it made Lizzie's heard ache. He looked betrayed and hurt. Like and abandoned puppy dog.
"I think you have said enough Lizzie. Now if you will excuse me I want to get away from all the deceit!" He turned away.
"Gordo please! I know that you like me! I am sorry, for a long time I liked you too! But you never made a move and no one can wait forever. Then Adam came and he makes me happy! Don't I deserve to be happy Gordo? I don't want all this to ruin our friendship. Please Gordo, I am trying to continue my life as normal as possible and I need you in it." She looked at him hopefully. I really do need him. She thought.
"And Adam? You need him too?" Gordo still looked angry.
"Yes! I need you both, just in different ways. Please trust and support my decisions!"
"Lizzie, how can I do that when every word you say breaks me up inside?" Gordo stared down at her and said, "I need you Lizzie. What happened to the way things were before?"
Lizzie had tears in her eyes. She started to look angry as she spat out, "I don't know Gordo! Why don't you find the drunk driver that killed my parents and ask him?!" She spun around and ran back into the house. Asshole! She thought.
Dammit! Gordo thought. I am such an insensitive prick!
Lizzie stormed into the house and ran past everyone up to her room. She started throwing all her stuff back into the boxes that she had originally taken them out of when she first moved in.
She was so focused on throwing all her stuff into the boxes she didn't even hear someone knock on the door. Next thing she knew she was crying in Adams arms.
"Shh baby. Don't cry. I am so sorry about earlier. I couldn't stand him putting either of us down. I was so wrong though. Honey," He looked at her, "If you want the friendship ring, take it. He only wants to be friends." He caressed her cheek lovingly.
"Oh Adam you don't understand! He wants us to be more than friends. I know he does." She looked up at him.
He smiled at her. She is so beautiful. "No he doesn't. Not now Liz, we talked about it and he told me that he wants to be friends. He said he understands you're happy with me."
"Adam, I'm glad he told you all of this but it would have been nice if he would have told me!" She snapped.
Man her mood sure can change! He thought.
"No! Don't get the wrong idea! He wanted to come and talk but I said I wanted to talk to you first. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am and that Gordo and I are going to try to be friends. Now he can add what he wants." He got up and kissed her on the cheek. Then he disappeared. Minutes later Gordo replaced him.
"Lizzie," He began, "I am so sorry for everything I have said so far tonight. Nothing has come out right. You mean the world to me and I would love to be your friend. So if you would please," He pulled out the ring, "accept my friendship."
She took the ring and slid it down her right hand ring finger so that her wedding finger was still open.
"Of course Gordo! You're the best friends I could have!" She hugged him and got a wave of mixed feelings that she quickly pushed out of her mind. I have Adam! She reminded herself. She started towards the door. "Come on! The parties still here!" She grabbed his hand and drug him down.
The next day was a big one! Miranda and Lizzie were moving into Lizzie's old house and they had recruited Adam and Gordo to help them. Miranda had called Josh also. He was coming later.
In all the commotion the past two weeks Lizzie had forgotten that the bank was supposed to call. In fact, She hadn't really thought about any of the money, But on that chosen day, right after Josh arrived, the bank called and set up and appointment so Lizzie could fill out all of the paperwork.
After and hour long discussion about the money and how each increment would be, Lizzie hung up realizing that she would be getting $2 million when she went to her appointment. She decided she would need to give Mr. Casteel a call soon.
The moving day was stressful, fun and emotional for Lizzie, every time things got stressed Adam would calm her down.
After a while they got bored and decided to play hide and seek. Everyone was made clear to stay out of Lizzie's parent's bedroom.
They played rock, paper, scissors to see who would go first and it turned out Adam did.
Lizzie decided to hide in an easy place. She wanted Adam to find her. It would be fun for them to search alone together. She hid in the upstairs bathroom bathtub. But not before whispering to Adam where she could be found!
Of course Adam found her first.
"Why Miss McGuire, if I'm not mistaken, I think you wanted me to find you!" He laughed.
"Moi?" She pointed to herself for emphasis. "I think not! I will have you know I searched long and hard for a good hiding spot" She kept darting her eyes to make it obvious she was lying.
"I know your lying! Do you know what the punishment for lying is?! His eyes were sparkling and before she got a word out he started tickling her. He knew all her ticklish spots.
All of the sudden he stopped and pulled her close to kiss her.
His tongue glided along her teeth as if asking for entrance. She opened her mouth greedily and they got into a hot and heavy make out session. All thoughts of hide and seek out of their minds!
