When Lizzie got home from work that day, she put Camille to bed because it was already past her bedtime. Lizzie wasn't tire yet, even though it was like 9 o'clock and she had work at 6 o'clock in the morning, well she doesn't have to be to work until 7 o'clock but she has to get ready, drop Camille off and go across town.
Lizzie was checking her e-mail when the phone started to ring; she didn't want Camille to wake up so she didn't even check the caller ID so she answered right away.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Lizzie don't hang up… just let's talk."
"Okay fine Gordo let's talk. What do you want to talk about, the fact that you went and cheated on me, you chose to hide the fact that you couldn't handle this whole baby thing at a young age?"
"Lizzie, I'm sorry about cheating on you. It's not that I couldn't handle it, I could."
"Gordo, you couldn't handle it just admit. You didn't have to stick with me because you got me pregnant, I could've lasted with being a single mother and I know that because look I'm doing it now, with my parent's help."
"I know I didn't have to stick with you but it was the right thing to do…"
"The right thing to do… thanks Gordo well it's nice to know the real reason why you stayed with me. Because it was the "right" thing to do."
"That's not what I meant."
"Well that's sure how it came out."
"I stuck with you because I love you, yes I messed up and I'm sorry and I know that you're not going to forgive me just yet."
"You're wrong I do forgive you but I just can't trust you yet. You said that you were trying to figure out you're real feelings for me, I'm wondering how do you feel? I know you say you love me but how do you feel?"
"I feel like I couldn't live with out you, I love you and Camille so much I miss you more then you know. All I want now more than anything is to be able to come home and spend time with you and Camille. You know what else I'd like to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Thanks Gordo I really needed to know that. And believe me I did need to hear that."
"Lizzie when will I be able to come home?"
"When I can trust you again. I got to go I have work in the morning."
"Okay, I love you Lizzie."
"I love you too Gordo."
Lizzie went to bed that night nearly in tears, because she missed Gordo she really did. She wanted him home so bad that she didn't have the words but she couldn't trust him yet. She knew that Gordo wanted to be with his daughter and he would be soon.
The next morning Lizzie woke up and got ready as usual, and dropped off Camille and got to work. When she got to work that day and Ethan wasn't in his office which was really unusual. But she got to her work, and did some research on becoming a realtor.
Like an hour later Ethan showed up and he didn't look as stressful as he usually did. He went up to Lizzie and asked if the paperwork was all filled out like it was supposed to be. And of course Lizzie told him that she had it all done.
"Lizzie?"
"Yeah Ethan?"
"Me and Miranda figured that you might have had something to do with why we went out last night because when we got there we asked each other about the notes and we found out that none of us wrote those. And we want to thank-you. It was the best night that we've had together in a long time."
"You're welcome, anything to help out two friends."
"I was wondering about something."
"What is that?"
"Why did you fix mine and Miranda's relationship but you're not fixing yours?"
"Because I don't know how to fix mine yet to be completely honest."
"Why, what happened?"
"Gordo cheated on me, while he was away at college."
"I can't believe that Gordon do that."
"Either can I."
"Yeah, so umm… I'm going to get back to work."
"Back?"
"Okay I'm going to go and work."
"Okay."
She continued her research for a place where she could go to a school to get a real estate license, but she couldn't be away from her daughter too much. She already had her father gone a lot; she didn't need her mother to be too. But Lizzie just came up with a great idea.
She walked into Ethan's office…
"Ethan?"
"Yeah."
"Umm… I was just thinking about what you said."
"And that is?"
"Why I fixed yours and Miranda's relationship instead of mine and Gordo's"
"And that is because?"
"I don't know but I was wondering if I could have the rest of the day off so I can try and fix it sort of."
"Sure. And by the way you did a great job on those forms."
"Thank you so much for both of those things. I'll be here tomorrow morning."
"Don't mention it, just good luck."
"Okay see ya."
She walked out the door and headed for her mom's house to go pick up Camille. She just kept thinking of things to do, and what to say.
She finally got to her mom's house to pick up Camille; she didn't have time to explain it to her mom. She just had to pick up Camille and get going and on her way.
She drove for 3 straight hours just to get to Gordo's apartment. She couldn't wait to get out of the car, she went to the backseat of her car and picked Camille up who was sleeping in her car seat.
Lizzie walked up to his apartment door and thought a minute before knocking on the door, she was going to walk away but the door was already opening. So Lizzie turned and looked to see who opened up the door, it wasn't Gordo it was some girl.
Lizzie couldn't but help think 'Oh my God not again…'
But she knew she couldn't jump to conclusions.
"Hey?"
"Hey umm… is David home?"
"Yeah, he's in his room. Would you like for me to get him?"
"Umm… sure after you answer one question for me?"
"Okay."
"What are you to David?"
"I am…"
