He loved her with all of his heart but he was never too sure what she wanted. They had shared that kiss in Rome, and a few more kisses since, but they still had no official title behind them. Lizzie always told him she was too afraid of ruining their relationship. Also, Lizzie enjoyed the fact that he was the ONLY boy ever allowed to be in her room with the door closed and she didn't want to violate her parents trust like that. She had made all of this known to him and it did nothing but frustrate him. He knew she had feelings back, whether they were of love or not he couldn't say. He did know for certain he would make it his goal this year to make her his.
He realized it was kind of weird for him to stand there not saying anything so he cleared his throat. Lizzie turned suddenly and turned scarlet. "Oh my God! Gordo! What are you doing in here?" She realized the door was still open. "Quick, close the door before my parents walk by and see this!" He shut the door quickly, releaved she wasn't kicking him out. He smiled at her. "Sorry Liz. Your parents just told me to head up here. I didn't know you were, um, you know, compromised."
Lizzie watched him stutter and try to find an excuse. She had seen him walk in but decided to tease him a bit. She had decided the night before to take things to the next level with Gordo, both physically and emotionally. Though she knew she wasn't ready to say those 3 certain words, she was ready to be his girlfriend. She smiled and stood up. "Gordo, it's ok. I am wearing a robe." He gulped. She saw this and smiled. She knew it wasn't JUST a robe. It was silk, which meant it clung to her body in a very sexy way. She could see in his eyes he knew this too. She suddenly realized how intimate this was getting, and she didn't want it this way. "Now, would you kindly wait outside while I get ready?" He nodded and quickly ducked out.
Once outside her room he started to breath again. "I can't believe I just saw that." He was amazed. he had seen her in a bikini, gone swimming, hugged her, even kissed her sweet lips, but never had he felt so turned on by her. It was all he could do to not rip that robe off and taste every inch of her body. Once he felt he had stabilized his breath and his heart, he headed downstairs where the McGuires were having breakfast.
After about 15 minutes Lizzie appeared downstairs. She had on a knee length, skin tight, jean skirt, some sexy black stiletos, and a black lace shirt. Her hair looked adorable, and her eyes were lined with a thick black liner. She looked amazing. Lizzies mom noticed it first. She couldn't believe how grown up her daughter looked, but she didn't want to censor her. The clothes WERE a bit tighter then she liked but atleast she wasnt showing major skin. Mr. McGuires reaction was entirely different. "Lizzie. Go. Change. Now." was all he could spit out. Lizzie started to protest and her mom spoke up. "Sam, drop it. She looks fine." Lizzie smiled and hugged them both goodbye.
"Come on Gordo. High schools awaitin!" He followed her outside and she started to laugh. "God! Did you see my dad FREAK out! My bad if I finally got boobs!" Gordo couldn't even respond. He couldn't be friendly-Gordo anymore. He was now boyfriend Gordo in his head.
They both waited at the bus stop for Miranda. While they were waiting Gordo busied himself with making sure he had everything he needed. As he worked Lizzie watched and examined him. He had grown up so much over the summer. He had shot up 4 inches, and it looked so amazing on him. He had gotten a job as an assitant for the local TV station, and the job required lots of heavy lifting and running errands. He was filling out and looked amazing. He also had adopted a personal style of his own, thanks to Lizzie, and he looked so amazing.
He finished and looked up at Lizzie who hurriedly started talking about what she was expecting from the day. He was amazed by her. Her hair was perfect, her makeup was perfect, her clothes were perfect, her body was perfect. She was perfect. He noticed as her shirt rode up she had a new belly button ring. He tickled her belly button when he saw it. "Has your mom seen it yet?" Lizzie laughed. "No. Shes gonna FLIP if she ever sees it."
He suddenly had the urge to kiss her, right here, in public. He wanted the world to know how he felt about her. She saw it coming and qucikly turned her head, so he hit her cheek, but then she did something surpising: she grabbed his hand, strung her fingers in his, and squeezed his hand tightly. They both felt extreamly uncomfortable and wern't quite sure how to transition into a new conversation. Thankfully, Miranda showed up at that very moment. They both quickly dropped hands.
"Lizzie you look AMAZING!" Lizzie and Miranda hugged. "Are you kidding! You look fabulous!" The laughed and began talking hurridly about the first day ahead of them. The bus arrived and they all got on. Lizzie and Gordo sat next to one another and Miranda sat in a seat in front of them next to a VERY attractive guy. Miranda shot Lizzie an "Oh My God! Look at him!" look then introduced herself to the guy. Lizzie nudged Gordo. "Look! Miranda totaly is talking to that guy on her own!" Gordo grinned. "Guess this school year is really going to be different.
