The Lizzie Nightmares
The Ocean
"Lizzie!" I yelled from my car. Turning my head back in the direction of my apartment door, "Come on, I want to beat afternoon traffic." I waited in my car the engine running, as did the thoughts through my head.
After getting all of the luggage out of Lizzie's car and getting her settled in my room, we decided to go out for the day. She said she wouldn't mind where we went, but I had some ideas in mind so I told her to wear something pretty nice and I'd show her around town.
"Alright, okay, okay" said Lizzie hurriedly as she enter the car, her lips freshly glossed, her hair silky and her pursed hanging from one shoulder. She wore a white flowy skirt and a gray tight fitted tee that showed an arrow and said in bold white letters "I'm with stupid". Lizzie smiled looking up to me after buckling herself in, "Sorry for taking so long Gordo."
I shrugged, "Aw don't worry about it, you're a chick; it's normal." She laughed. I grinned looking at her t-shirt. I pointed to it, "You still have that thing?"
Lizzie looked down at her shirt, "Oh!" she laughed again, "Of course Gordo. You got it for me on my birthday a few years ago," she smiled brightly, "I love this shirt."
I smiled, "I'm glad McGuire. Anyway we got to get going." I turned on some tunes, shifted into gear and we cruised.
"I'm really excited to be starting school, how's it been for you since last year?" asked Lizzie taking another sip of her ice tea. We drove around and walked around the city awhile and then decided to stop for lunch. We sat outside the umbrella at our table blocking the heat of the blazing sun.
I felt a breeze and watch Lizzie as she brushed her cheek pulling back her hair. I shook my head, "It started out nice, I got kind of home sick the first few weeks…" I trailed off, "but it's been great. You'll enjoy it"
Lizzie smiled looking relived, "That's good to hear," she paused, "I know what you mean, about missing home. Well when you left, I missed you" she took my hand. Gently I closed the gap between our palms and held onto her hand tighter. She smiled.
I blushed and she quickly changed the subject, "How about your directing career, huh? Found a school you like or a place to work and get some practice?"
I smiled, I could talk on and on about this. And she could tell it made me happy and more comfortable talking about this; she just knew me. She still understood me and my "odd" ways. And I was glad.
"Well you see, besides working for my bachelors I wanted to starting taking some directing classes right away. They where really great and I was doing pretty well. I wanted to find a job on set or anything to get some experience, but I wasn't really having any luck. That sucked," I laughed, "but anyway one interview I went to I was sitting and waiting for them to call for me when this tall, lanky, pretty young looking guy with this crazy dark brown hair that's going every which way sits down next to me."
I looked to Lizzie and she smiled motioning for me to go on, "I didn't really think much of it until this guys strikes up a conversation out of the blue. And I'll tell ya this guy sure can ramble, we talked about everything from movies, school, skateboarding, his girl, family but you know? It was kind of nice. He said his name was Shawn Mayer. We continued talking until they called for me. I was about to get up when he asked if I was one of the guys wanting to intern or hang around their set for awhile."
Lizzie smiled, "I seeing where this is going," she laughed, "go on!"
"So I told him I was, and guess what? He is the assistant director for this big film they where getting ready to film. He said that I seemed smart had spunk." I paused and laughed, "Can you image me, spunk? Anyway he wanted me to come with him to meet the producer and director later. So he gave me his number and I've been working on set for about 4 months now."
Lizzie smile and squeezed my hand, "Oh Gordo! I'm so happy for you. Getting to do what you love,"
I smile and shook my head, "Thanks, but I'm still working my way up. I'm actually working on this story-" I stopped myself remembering about that story and notebook. But I continued on, "I don't know where I'm going with it. It is kind of strange but I like the idea."
"I can see it now, presenting a "Gordon Film"…and your name in lights!" Lizzie and I laughed.
"Oh no I don't think I could do acting. But hey are you interested in acting?" In high school had gotten really into theater. She was pretty good too. I didn't know how I'd forgotten about that until know.
Maybe because James was in theater. That must be it. Lizzie smiled and I sighed.
"I'd love to take some more classes!" she laughed, "Maybe I can be in your movie"
"That would be ironic," I thought. "You know actually that would be great." I said and smiled for her.
"I love this town Gordo, thank you so much for taking me around." Said Lizzie as we where walking towards the pier.
"No problem at all." I paused thinking about what I was doing. Oh hell. I love her. "Come here," I said taking her hand and led her to the beach.
"This is my favorite place in the whole city," I said softly.
Lizzie looked at me and gave a gentle smile. She walked closer to the water and sat down. I walked towards her, but stopped just behind her.
She tilted her head back looking up to the sky. "I love the ocean. So loud and dangerous, the sound of the rolling waves and it's still so peaceful and beautiful. One of my favorite in God's creation." She laughed a little and smile looking back at me. "Thank you for taking me here"
"I love it too. It's always reminded me of you." I sat down next to her. The sun was beginning to set and I knew it was going to be bad. My feelings where getting to me. She looked too damn gorgeous with the ocean blowing her hair and the sun shining down on her perfect face.
We sat there until the sun went completely down. She lay asleep on my shoulder and I put my arm over around her. This felt so good. I gazed at her face. Slowly, I inched towards her two lips. And I stopped, any move at all closer would be a regret. Suddenly I saw her eyes flutter open. She looked confused and I loved her. I titled her head down and kissed her forehead. She put her hands around my waist and I rest my head on hers.
"I'm glad to see you again Gordo…I-" she whispered.
"Me too sweetheart. ….You are my best friend" and I kissed her forehead once more.
And Lizzie was taken by surprise, but I failed to notice. She too, knew we where meant to be more than friends. She sighed held on to my waist tighter.
"Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again." I thought thinking of that story. "This must be a tragedy too."
