Chapter 7

Lizzie was busy with reading through a book as she heard a short knock on her door, immediately she put the book away onto her nightstand right next to her bed and said: "Come in." Jo Mc Guire stepped into the room of her daughter and said: "Lizzie I have good news for you, me and your father talked about your punishment and we've come to the decision that you have learned your lesson and that you're not grounded anymore." Lizzie instantly had a very big grin on her face, got up from her bed, tightly hugged her mother and replied: "Thank you Mom, you're the best and that means a lot to me."

"Honey you're more than welcome and isn't Miranda finally coming back from Mexico City this Saturday?" Jo Mc Guire said and she knew how much her daughter must have missed her other best friend during the trip to Europe. Of course Lizzie had been counting down the days since her arrival back home that were left, till Miranda would be returning from her family vacation in Mexico and she surely couldn't wait to tell her everything that she had missed during her absence.

"Yes she does and I can't wait till she finally gets back, because I need to tell her everything that she has missed during her vacation." Lizzie finally replied with a big smile on her face and in her mind she was also already making planes for her and Gordo's first date as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Of course Miss Mc Guire was very well aware that her daughter was probably already making planes for her first date with Gordo she finally said: "Okay I guess I'll go now because I have to go shopping for some groceries." Then she turned around to leave her daughter's room and shortly after her mom had slowly closed the door, Lizzie immediately grabbed her telephone to dial Gordo's phone number. Gladly it didn't take very long for him to pick up the phone on the other end of the line and before he could say anything Lizzie blurted out excited: "I'm not grounded anymore Gordo! Isn't that fantastic news?" Gordo was a little bit surprised at first by this spontaneous happy outburst from his girlfriend but then he finally said: "That's very good news Lizzie and that means that we could go on our first date as a couple tonight."

Even if Gordo couldn't see it Lizzie couldn't help but smile because of the fact that they were thinking the same thing and as she composed herself she said: "I was thinking the same after my Mom told me the good news just a few minutes ago and we could eat together at this nice Italian Restaurant "Alfredo's" tonight if you want."

He didn't hesitate very long to answer and already was looking forward to their first official date: "That sounds really good to me, so I pick you up at seven okay?" While he was waiting for her reply he was already thinking about what to wear for their date tonight, of course he wanted to look extra nice for Lizzie and he surely wanted it to be a memorable night for both of them.

"Okay that's fine with me, I'll be ready then and I'm really looking forward to our date." Lizzie said and she couldn't help but feel a little bit like she was flying on Cloud Nine again, even if she really didn't ever imagine that she and Gordo would end up as a couple in the end.

"Good then I will see you later, bye Lizzie." Gordo said before he hung up and as Lizzie let herself fall back onto her bed she thought about what she would wear for the date with him tonight and of course this was a really special thing for her. Back at the Gordon's house Gordo begin to struggle with some mixed feelings about the date with the girl of his dreams, of course he was really looking forward to it but on the other hand he was already quite nervous because of the fact that he didn't want to screw anything up tonight.

It took quite a while for him to relax and as he had finally calmed down his nerves he went to his closet and looked for the perfect outfit for the first date with Lizzie tonight. Still in a very happy mood Lizzie went downstairs into the kitchen where she met her father, who immediately noticed that his daughter was smiling all the time and finally asked: "Hey Honey I just want to say how much happy I am for you and Gordo, because you two definitely make such a cute couple and I think that also speak for your mother when I say that I'll wish you two all the best for your future."

Lizzie hugged her dad shortly and said: "Thank you dad, I really appreciate that and because I have a date with Gordo tonight I need to figure out now what to wear." Sam Mc Guire was happy to hear that and that slight nervousness which he could clearly sense from his daughter reminded him of his first date with Jo back in his days at High School. He really had been nervous at first before his first date, but in the end it all turned out really well and they both did have the time of their life. He watched his daughter leave the kitchen after she had quickly drunk a glass of water to get back to her room and he surely was confident that those two would really have a good time tonight.

Meanwhile Gordo stood at his closet in his room and really had such a time choosing the right outfit for the date with Lizzie and he couldn't help but think: That really shouldn't be that hard to figure out because I'm not a girl after all. He finally decided on an outfit to wear: The dark blue shirt with a black jacket and matching jeans and as he looked at his outfit choice he was very satisfied with it. Back at the Mc Guire's house Lizzie had quite a hard time searching for the right outfit for the date, because she surely wanted the evening with Gordo to be perfect.
