CHAPTER-7

"Oh god I don't think I can take one more step." Gordo moaned as he fell down in his seat at the family table "My feet feel like their about to fall off" Smiling up at Lizzie who had followed off from the dance floor Gordo shook his head at her "Hon I sure hope you don't want to dance anymore tonight?"

"Oh and why's that?" Lizzie replied with her eyebrows raised.

"Well because I'm dead on my feet." said Gordo looking down at his shoes "And I don't think I can even walk on this things anymore. And dancing on them is most definitely out."

"Gees don't tell me you're wore out and giving up already?" Lizzie asked with a playful smirk on her face "I mean if a little dancing has already wore you out than that sure doesn't give me high hopes for our honeymoon later ."

"Ha ha woman. You know you're not as funny as you think you are."Gordo rolled his eyes."For starters I've been on my feet all day helping with getting the wedding ready. Not to mention being in the wedding...and you know what forget about it and come here!" Gordo reached over to grab a laughing Lizzie and pulled her down into his lap. Wrapping his arms around her Gordo than proceeded to give Lizzie a very serious kiss. The kiss continued until a clearing of the throat made the newly married couple realize they weren't alone at the table anymore.

"Hey Miranda." Lizzie giggled at her friend from where she was sitting in Gordo's lap "Are you having fun?"

"Oh yeah loads of it." Miranda lied through her teeth as she sat down.

"Uh-huh" smiled Gordo not convinced by Miranda's lie one bit "Than how come you've been walking around here all day looking like you've been sucking on a lemon?"

Miranda shot Gordo a hard look because she knew that he knew why she was upset.HER man was around here some where running around with another woman!

And it's all your fault, a part of Miranda's mind yelled at her.

If you would have just put your foot down and just said HELL NO when all this Matt and Melina wedding date stuff started than he would have been here with you.

But no you just had to have your precious little secret.

Oh shut the hell up, Miranda silently yelled at the rebellious part of her brain.

"David be nice" Lizzie admonished him before turning to look at her friend "Miranda I know what's got you so upset."

"You do?" came the same question from Gordo and Miranda.

"Yes Miranda I do." Lizzie nodded "And I just want you to know that I fully understand."

Oh thank god! This might not be as bad as I thought when I tell her about me and Matt!

"Yeah Miranda I know." Lizzie smiled sympathatlicly at her friend "You're just a little upset because you didn't bring a date for the wedding."

Ok still as bad as I thought, Miranda thought as she shared a look with Gordo who looked like he was having a hard time holding in his laughter.

"And Miranda I'm so sorry that I couldn't get Larry to be your date for the wedding." Lizzie frowned "I mean I would have sworn he would have jumped at the chance when I asked him to be your date."

"Wait you asked Larry to be my date?" exclaimed Miranda.

"Well yeah" Lizzie nodded"But who knew that he and Veruca had gotten so close over the last year or two? I sure didn't."

Lizzie,Gordo and Miranda all looked out on the dance floor to see the before mentioned couple dancing very close to one another.

"Hey guys" came a familiar voice close by.

Miranda was grateful when Lizzie's attention was taken off her as Jo and Sam made their way over to the table their hands loaded down with plates of food.

"Got enough to eat there dad?" Lizzie laughed as she watched her father start to dig into one of the many plates he had sitting in front of him.

"Well hon the way I see it, since I'm paying for all of this I should at least get my moneys worth out of it." Sam paused in between bites to smile at his daughter.

"And anyway" frowned Jo "Just what are you guys doing sitting around here by yourselves? You should all be out there on the dance floor having fun."

"Well we're not because Gordo's a wimp and won't dance with me anymore." Lizzie pouted.

"Sorry but I'm a lover not a dancer." Gordo shrugged his shoulders in surrender.

That got a laugh from everyone at the table and even Miranda almost smiled at that one, almost.

"Got room here for one more?"

Once again everyone looked up and this time it was Matt that they saw standing at the table.

"Hey Matty!" Jo smiled at her son "Where's Melina?"

Matt smiled a little as he sat down at the end of the table right next to Miranda. His smile growing even more when he heard Miranda growl at the mention of Melina's name "Oh she'll be here in a second."

And just as the words left his mouth and just as a new song started playing over the speakers Melina materialized close to Matt.

"Matt they're playing our song." said Melina as she tilted her head up toward the speakers that lined the ceiling before looking back at Matt with a smile spreading across her face.

"You do remember OUR song don't you?"

In actuallity Matt had no idea what this song was or who sang it but Melinas order a few minutes ago started running through his head.

And when I do you need to just play along with me.

Nodding his head Matt returned Melina's smile "Of course I do. How could you think I'd ever forget it?"

"Dance with me please?" Melina asked as she gave Matt a very flirty look and held out her hand to him."That is if no one here has a problem with that?"

Melina glanced around the table and stopped briefly to make eye contact with Miranda. But all Miranda did was give Melina a glare. And when she didn't say anything right away Melina let Matt take her hand and she than proceeded to lead him toward the dance floor "Come on sexy lets go have some fun."

Now Gordo was many things but one of them was not stupid. In fact his IQ points was without a doubt higher than anyone else at the table. So he knew something was defentaly up. He had noticed how Melina had held her gaze on Miranda when she asked if anyone had a problem with Matt dancing with her. Putting his brain skills to work Gordo could only come up with one plausible hypothesis.

Melina has found out about Matt and Miranda and she was up to something!

Knowing that whatever Melina had planned would be very devious and knowing that when the show finally went down it would be out on the dance floor,Gordo pushed Lizzie up off his lap and grabbed her hand." Come on hon I want to dance some more!"

"But...but..." Lizzie sputtered as Gordo dragged her out on the dance floor "I thought you said your feet was hurting and you were to tired to dance with me anymore?"

"I changed my mind." said Gordo before he and Lizzie were out on the dance floor.

"What do you say hon,want to show this young kids that we still have it?" Sam asked as he put his fork down and held out his hand out to his wife.

"I would love to dear." Sam smiled as she took her husbands hand and the two of them left Miranda all alone at the table and she was growing madder by the second.

"Our song huh?" Matt smirked once he and Melina were out on the dance floor and out of earshot of Miranda.

Laughing Melina pulled Matt a little closer to her "It was something to show to Miranda that you and I still have a... connection you might say. Plus it's something to help move along those jealous feelings in her."

"Miranda in a jealous mood?" Matt shook his head "That doesn't sound real safe."

"No it's not." Melina smiled at her friend "But jealousy can be one hell of an eye opener, Matt. It can make you put everything aside and fight for what's yours."

"And this is supposed to make Miranda do that? Fight for me that is?"

"Well if she cares for you like you say she does,than this should work out fine." Melina whispered into Matt's ear doing it just so Miranda could see how close she was getting to Matt out on the dance floor. And speaking of which Melina took a casual look over and saw that Miranda was indeed watching them like a hawk and she wasn't looking very happy.

"Now we make this look good." said Melina as she pulled Matt closer to her and than molded her body into his. She than started to let her hands do some very interesting roaming in some very intimate areas.

Ok this is going to be interesting if it doesn't get me killed first, Matt thought as Melina's hands got closer to his ass.

"Oh and Matt just for the record I do remember the little talk we had about us just being friends. So I want you to know I'm doing this to help you get Miranda back. And I also want you to know that I'll get no pleasure out of it." than a mischievous grin spread across Melina's face "Well I might get a little pleasure out of it."

"Out of wha..." was all Matt got out before Melina pulled him down to her so she could give him a very passionate kiss.

The last thing Miranda could remember seeing before she was up and heading toward the dance floor was RED!
