"Finally, summer vacation," Lizzie thought to herself, as she changed into
her bathing suit. School had ended earlier that day. It was going to be the
best summer ever! Her parents had put in a pool earlier that spring and it
meant that she, Gordo and Miranda no longer had to go to the overcrowded
public beach or pool to swim. Gordo had gotten his license in time for
summer and best of all; Matthew was leaving tonight for summer camp! Lizzie
shuddered to think of the trouble Matthew could get into at summer camp,
but she was just glad that he'd be out of her hair all summer long!
Lizzie was combing her long blonde hair into a ponytail when Miranda burst into her room and flopped down on the bed. Miranda had been about to start ranting about their finals when she noticed that Lizzie was wearing a bikini. "Hello! I thought you, like myself, weren't allowed to wear a bikini yet!" Miranda screeched.
"Well, my mom decided it was okay this year, since I'm almost 16," Lizzie explained.
Miranda sighed and answered, "You are so lucky!" Under her breath she added, "Gordo's not going to be able to take his eyes off you!" If Lizzie heard Miranda's comment she pretended that she didn't.
Miranda didn't understand how Lizzie could be so blind to how Gordo felt about her. She also didn't understand how Gordo thought that no one could see how he felt about Lizzie. It was so obvious! Lately she'd noticed that Lizzie would get that same glazed look over Gordo that Gordo got over Lizzie. Miranda hoped the two of them would figure it out already and take the plunge! But maybe if it took too long she would have to start doing some creative match making. This thought made Miranda smile. She wished that Gordo would hurry up and get here; Miranda knew that Gordo's eyes would pop out of his head when he saw what Lizzie was wearing. It was a pink and orange tie-dyed bikini. It was actually fairly conservative as far as bikinis went, but it still showed more of Lizzie's naked flesh than Gordo had ever seen at one time.
Although Gordo only lived a few blocks away he had driven over. As a new driver, it was still a novelty to be able to drive somewhere. Plus, maybe the three of them would want to go somewhere later. As Gordo climbed the stairs to Lizzie's room he was thinking about everything he and the girls would be able to do this summer now that he had wheels. All thoughts about his car were banished from his mind when he saw what Lizzie was wearing. He'd of course seen Lizzie in a bathing suit before, but this was not the same! A bikini! A bikini that showed off all the new curves she'd developed since last summer! Gordo could feel that his jaw was hanging open and that he had broken out in a sweat. Miranda noticed Gordo standing in the door and the priceless expression on his face. Lizzie was applying sunscreen to her long legs and hadn't noticed yet that Gordo was there. Finally when she had finished she looked up and said with one of her killer smiles, "Hey Gordo!"
"H-hey, Lizzie!" Gordo managed.
"Are you alright Gordo? You seem out of breath." Lizzie asked. Miranda snickered and Gordo blushed. "I'm fine, I just ran up the stairs too fast in this heat."
"Well, that is why we are going swimming," Lizzie said excitedly.
The three went down to the pool and prepared to take the first dip in the McGuire pool. As Miranda and Gordo stripped down to their swimming suits, Lizzie sat near by on a lounge chair, her eyes riveted on Gordo. "He has really filled out since last summer," Lizzie thought, "Look at those muscular arms!" As Lizzie drank in the sight Gordo offered, Gordo was trying not to look at Lizzie, he was worried about how else he might embarrass himself. Miranda watched the two excitedly; she had been waiting to set them up for a long time.
Once they got in the pool and started horsing around, things seemed to be more normal. It was back to the three amigos just having a good time together. Well, almost. While neither Gordo nor Lizzie could ignore their raging hormones, they got things under control enough to act semi-normally around each other. They played tag, pickle in the middle, Marco Polo and all the other water games they could think of. Miranda noticed though that Gordo and Lizzie seemed to be avoiding touching or getting too close to each other; interesting, she thought. Several hours later they were all swam out and were sitting in lounge chairs around the pool deciding what to do that night.
Finally they decided on the drive-in. It was the perfect plan since it was their first night of summer and one of them could drive. Miranda thought about ditching so Gordo and Lizzie could be alone together, but decided that the drive-in sounded like too much fun to miss. She would find other ways to throw them together.
The three separated to get ready for the evening. Lizzie had showered and was trying to decide what to wear. She really wanted to wear this new skirt she got, but thought she might be more comfortable in just some shorts. She decided to call Miranda and see what she was wearing.
"Hello?" Miranda answered.
"Hey, it's Lizzie. What are you going to wear tonight?" Lizzie asked.
"Shorts and a tee-shirt. Why, what are you wearing?" Miranda asked.
"Well, I was thinking shorts too, but I got this new skirt and I wanted to wear that. But if you're wearing shorts, I will too." Lizzie said.
"We're going to be sitting in a car for hours, don't you think a skirt would be uncomfortable?" Miranda asked.
Yeah, but it's so cute!" Lizzie said.
"Who are you trying to impress?" Miranda asked with a grin on her face, she understood what Lizzie's motive was.
Flustered, Lizzie answered, "No one really. I just thought it would look nice, but if you think shorts are a better plan, I will go with that."
"Shorts are better, even if you won't look quite as cute." Miranda said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Okay, thanks Miranda. I've gotta finish getting ready to go," Lizzie said.
Miranda hung up and smiled at herself in the mirror, this was going to be more fun that she thought. Lizzie had it worse for Gordo that she originally thought. Her phone rang again and she assumed it was Lizzie calling back to convince her that the skirt was a good idea. "Lizzie, just wear the shorts!" Miranda said as she answered the phone.
"What?" Gordo said.
"Sorry Gordo, I thought you were Lizzie calling back. Do you need help with your wardrobe too?" Miranda asked with a giggle.
"Um, no, I was just going to wear shorts, isn't that okay?" Gordo asked confused.
"That's fine. What do you need?" Miranda asked.
"Can you bring some blankets? I think we'll sit in the hatch-back part of the car to watch the movie." Gordo said.
"Sure. I'll see you in a little bit. You better pick me up first, Lizzie needs more time to get ready." Miranda said.
On the ride over to the drive in Miranda let Lizzie sit in the front seat. Amused, Miranda watched as Lizzie and Gordo continuously snuck looks at each other. When they accidentally looked at the same time both would blush and quickly look away. How were they both so blind about what was going on? Miranda couldn't understand it. She decided it was time to make them both squirm a little bit.
"So, I'm thinking about having a party later this summer where dates are mandatory? Who do you guys think you'll bring?" Miranda grilled.
Besides the radio, the car was silent. Miranda could see both Gordo and Lizzie visibly panicking. Feeling particularly evil, Miranda added, "Of course if neither of you have dates, you could always come together." Gordo and Lizzie both looked at each other, blushed and quickly turned away.
"Finally, the drive-in," Gordo said as he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that now Miranda could stop grilling them.
