The Deal

by Sarah J. Brooks

  “I’m going to come to graduation tomorrow,” Harris said as he let his hand stroke Liz’s hair and her bare back.

  Liz lifted up her head and looked at Harrison. As much as she desperately wanted him to be there, she couldn’t risk him coming and Bella coming. Bella would know something was up as soon as she saw Harrison was there.

  “I don’t think it is a good idea. Bella is coming.” Liz said.

  “I want to see you get your diploma. You worked so hard.”

  “You are so sweet. I know you want to be there. But it’s not the right time. I’ll be fine without you there. Just knowing that you want to come is good enough for me.”

  Harrison decided this wasn’t an argument he wanted to have. He wanted Liz to have her special day and have it be exactly how she pictured it. If that meant he didn’t come, then he wouldn’t push her. But he did want to be there for her. Harrison wanted to see her face as she walked across the stage and finally got the degree she had worked so hard to earn.

  Chapter 1

  The morning of her graduation, Liz woke up in the arms of the man she loved. Well, she had not told him yet that she loved him, but she knew in her heart she did.

  They spent a lovely breakfast together, and Liz kissed Harrison goodbye as she headed off to her graduation. She sent a text message to Bella so they could meet up before the ceremony, but she never received a message back.

  Unfortunately for a couple hours before the ceremony Liz and the other graduates had to practice the order for receiving their diplomas and all the other specifics for the ceremony. Liz sent one last text to Bella that she would just meet up with her after the ceremony.

  During rehearsal, Liz couldn’t help but think that this day would forever be something she remembered. She tried to take in every moment, and she looked around at her fellow graduates. Liz felt so much older than everyone throughout her entire time in college, but as she looked around there were people from all different age groups getting their diplomas.

  Liz finally felt like her life was getting started. Not only was it getting started, she felt happier than she had ever remembered feeling in her past. She had a great guy and a great life going for her. Not only did she finally get the man of her dreams, but she also was about to have the job of her dreams and the life she had always dreamed of.

  Then Liz remembered that Bella still didn’t know about her father and Liz being together. Liz decided that after the graduation she would just tell Bella. Liz wanted to be happy with Harrison and Bella would just have to be alright with it.

  Bella left her dorm room and headed toward the graduation a little early. There was one stop she had to make before she got to graduation, and it was about to start within the hour. Bella had been thinking a lot about her life lately. She had watched her best friend fight so hard for this chance to graduate from college. It inspired Bella to work harder.

  After Bella made her stop, she arrived at the graduation with only a few minutes to spare. She glanced at her phone and saw the text from Liz that she wanted to meet up after the ceremony, and then Bella turned her phone off as requested by the head of the graduation ceremony.

  Liz wasn’t the type of person that got emotional but on that day it was something different. Liz had finally made it. After five long years of working and struggling, Liz had graduated from college.

  She closed her eyes and sent a prayer up to her mother whom she knew had been watching out for her all of these years. Liz wanted her mother there more than anything else she could imagine, but Liz still felt a sense of happiness in her life.

  Life was good for Liz.

  In fact, Liz didn’t cry at her graduation or even when her name was called out by the announcer. Liz instead threw her arms up in the air with a scream of delight. She had done it. She had graduated from college.

  The audience clapped as they enjoyed Liz’s high level of excitement. Most of the people who had received their diplomas before and after Liz had been so boring; it was fun to see someone truly excited about their graduation.

  When the ceremony was over Liz took off looking for Bella. They had to leave their cell phones in lockers, so Liz didn’t really know where to meet up with Bella. She walked around the auditorium for what felt like an hour before finally running into Bella.

  “Oh my god! You are a college graduate!” Bella screamed as she ran up to Liz.

  “I know can you even believe it?” Liz said.

  Liz was in shock. She really couldn’t believe her life as a college student was finally over. The long hours of working and studying had finally paid off. Now she could move forward with the rest of her dreams. Liz couldn’t wait to get a job in marketing and finally have the happiness she had always wanted. But there was one last thing she needed to do.

  “Bella, I have something to tell you,” Liz said as she instantly changed the mood from celebratory to somber.

  “Wait. Before you say whatever it is you want to say. I have a surprise for you.” Bella left Liz standing there for what seemed like an eternity.

  Liz looked after where Bella had gone, but there were so many people in the stadium that she didn’t really know where Bella had gone. Liz continued to stand in the midst of all the commotion and waited for Bella to come back.

  “I brought this for you,” Bella said as she moved through the crowd holding her father’s hand.

  Liz didn’t know what to think. She looked at Bella and then to Harrison. They were both smiling. Liz was confused. Why was Harrison there? Why did Bella bring him? She just stood there looking at them with a blank stare on her face.

  “I know you two want to be together. Life is too short for two people who care about each other not to be together.” Bella said as she took her father’s hand and put Liz and him together.

  “What? I don’t know what to say.” Liz said as she continued to stare at them.

  “Bella and I talked. I explained to her that you are important to me. You make me happy, and I think I make you happy. I explained that I love you.” Harrison said as he pulled Liz’s hand up to his lips and kissed it.

  “Oh my god,” Liz said as she looked at two of her favorite people in the entire world.

  Harrison grabbed her and dipped her down into a dramatic kiss.

  “We are your family now. You will always have us both in your life.” Harrison said with a smile.

  Liz couldn’t help but wrap her arms around both of them. Life did indeed seem perfect and that day would always be remembered as the start of her happily ever after ending that she had dreamed about all throughout her childhood.

  Chapter 2

  Harrison grabbed Liz by the legs and pulled her down on top of his face. He let his tongue explore her while she held onto the coffee table for balance.

  Liz loved the feeling of Harrison’s lips. She could spend the whole day having orgasms from him and never want to stop. She let her hips move in rhythm with Harrison’s tongue. When he moved faster, she matched his speed with her hips.

  Soon she couldn’t stop herself from moaning. Loud moans that she knew would drive Harrison crazy.

  She leaned over and unzipped his suit pants while he kept licking her. She wasn’t about to let herself orgasm without playing with Harrison a little.

  Liz pulled him out of his pants and slid her lips tight around his cock. Relentlessly she moved up and down as she timed her hip motion and mouth motion just right. Soon she could feel Harrison building up to explode. So she let herself cum on his tongue.

  Harrison felt Liz tighten her body as the orgasm he gave her sent shivers through her. He moved quickly and lifted her up. He placed her onto the chair and slid on top of her. At first she tried to push him off. She had just had an orgasm, her whole body still shivered with that delight. But Harrison slid deep inside of her.


  Thrusting hard he could feel Liz tighten her grip on his back. Her nails digging in as another orgasm swept through her.

  “Oh fuck,” Liz screamed as Harrison kept moving deep inside of her.

  “Did you want me to stop?” Harrison said slightly out of breath. And with no intention of actually stopping.

  “No,” Liz said. “Don’t Stop.”

  Harrison slowed down and stopped his thrusting.

  “Oh, you don’t want me to stop?” He teased.

  “Fuck me. Now!” Liz said as she pulled him hard with her fingers still holding onto his back.

  Harrison could feel her nails driving into his skin. The sharp pain sent an urge of ecstasy through him and he let his hip thrust into Liz again.

  “You do always get what you want,” Harrison said as he leaned down and kissed Liz.

  For the next few minutes, Harrison moved inside of Liz and enjoyed her moans. He tried not to cum but eventually his body gave in and succumb to her sexy naked moans.

  They lay on the giant living room chair for the rest of the night. Cuddled up under a blanket with Liz nestled on Harrison’s chest. As the sun rose, Liz got up and started packing her things for her trip. She showered and had three large suitcases sitting by the front door before Harrison realized what was going on.

  “What are you doing? He said as he stood up in shock.

  “I’m leaving for my trip silly.” Liz smiled.

  “Wait… What? You leave today?” Harrison looked shocked.

  “Yes. I have to get to the airport by noon.”

  “I didn’t think you would have to leave so soon.”

  “Me either. But it’s alright. I’m so excited.” Liz smiled and walked over to Harrison, who stood naked in the living room.

  Harrison wanted to be excited for Liz, but he really wasn’t ready for her to leave. He thought he was going to have a couple weeks to get used to the idea or at least a couple days. This was moving too quickly for him.

  “Um. Well, let me get dressed. I’ll take you.” Harrison said as he headed down to the bedroom.

  “No. I think we should just say our goodbyes now. I’d like to arrive on my own. I don’t want my new partner to think I need a chauffeur to drop me off.”

  Harrison looked hurt that Liz didn’t want him to come to the airport.

  “Um. Well, I’m your boyfriend, not a chauffeur.”

  “You know what I mean. I want to be independent. A business woman. You know?” Liz wrapped her arms around Harrison and kissed him.

  She let her lips stay on his. She could feel him getting excited the longer they kissed. Liz knew she would need to leave now or she would be caught up in a morning of love making and miss her flight.

  “You are a business woman. You don’t need to prove it.” Harrison said as he pressed Liz up against the wall.

  He let his kiss get deeper and pressed his hard cock into her. He wasn’t about to let her just leave. Harrison wanted her to stay. Well even just for a few more minutes. But he would be fine if she never left for Australia, of course he wouldn’t tell Liz that. For Liz, he would be supportive of her and her dreams. Even if he hated the idea.

  “I better go. I want to get there in enough time to get checked in.” Liz pushed herself away from Harrison.

  The urge to stay there in that apartment with him for the rest of the day could quickly overcome her and she knew that.

  “I’ll come visit you. Would that be alright?” Harrison said.

  “Yes! I’d love that.”

  “You are going to do great.” Harrison relegated himself to trying to be supportive. He knew Liz wanted this for herself and he wouldn’t be the person to crush her dreams.

  “We can Skype. I bet a little sexy Skype session will be just what the doctor ordered.” Liz said as she looked down at Harrison’s rock hard cock.

  “That is not what the doctor ordered. But it will have to do.” He laughed.

  The door buzzed and Liz went to answer it.

  Harrison quickly slipped a pair of pants on and then returned to the living room. The bellman was loading Liz’s bags up on a trolley.

  “I’ll see you downstairs Miss.” He said as he turned down the hallway.

  Liz grabbed her purse and jacket and stood at the door.

  “I’m going to miss you like crazy Mr. Wellington,” Liz said as tears started to fill her eyes.

  “I’m going to miss you too Liz.” Harrison grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her.

  Liz stayed curled up in his arms. She was scared to go off to Australia. It was exciting, but so scary to be leaving Harrison and make her way to a whole different country. Liz felt so overwhelmed. Life was moving so fast.

  “I’ll call you when I get there.”

  “You better. Or I’ll just fly out there and see you tomorrow.” Harrison kissed Liz one last time and walked her to the elevator.

  As the door to the elevator shut Harrison couldn’t help but worry about Liz. She suddenly seemed so vulnerable to him. He worried if she would be able to handle this new job or if she would have to leave and return home early.

  Chapter 3

  Liz headed to the airport and dried her eyes. She wasn’t exactly sad to be leaving Harrison, it was exciting to be going on the trip, but she was nervous.

  Traveling out of the country, working on a major campaign, it was all new and exciting. She felt like the tears were more out of fear than out of sadness. Liz stood watching as the cab driver unloaded her bags.

  The airline attendant quickly came over and helped Liz with her things and she followed him to the curb side check in. At the counter was her co-worker Ricardo, who had almost finished his check in.

  “I’d love to be a woman and have everyone at my beck and call,” he joked.

  “Well, then you’d need to carry these boulders around all the time too.” Liz joked as she grabbed her boobs.

  Ricardo and Liz had not worked together formally before, but they always sat near each other during the weekly meeting. Ricardo was a funny man and he liked to joke and keep things fun, Liz felt like she became much more of a jokester when she was around him.

  At 5’10 inches, tall Ricardo had the look of a Spanish heartthrob. He was just twenty-nine years old and had been a rock star at their firm. Ricardo had landed this client in Australia and was the one who picked who got to go with him. Several people submitted their portfolios, but he picked Liz.

  As they got in line for security Ricardo whispered,

  “Hope your boulder holder doesn’t have an underwire.”

  Then he disappeared into the security line.

  Liz panicked. Yes, her bra had an underwire. Oh no! What would happen? She had never been on an international flight and only on a couple domestic flights. Her mind whirled with thoughts of the TSA officer patting her down or pulling her aside.

  She reached under her shirt and unbuckled her bra. Sliding it off of her arms and then pulled it off and put it in the security bin. Liz wasn’t about to get tackled by a TSA agent.

  Liz breezed through the security line and then went to grab her things off of the conveyor belt. Ricardo stood there shaking his head. The TSA agent looked at Liz and shook his head also. They both had a grin on their face.

  “Liz, I was joking!” Ricardo said as he looked at her bra in the gray bin.

  Liz turned every shade of red imaginable. Then she punched Ricardo in the arm.

  “Don’t do that! Oh my gosh. I can’t believe you.”

  Liz grabbed her things and shoved them all into her purse. Then quickly took off down the walkway toward their gate.

  Ricardo caught up to her quickly but still couldn’t stop laughing at how seriously Liz had taken his joke.

  “I’m sorry Liz. I didn’t think you would take me seriously.”

  “I’ve never flown internationally. I didn’t know what would happen.”

  Liz couldn’t help but smile though. It
had been pretty funny and she had to admit if it had happened to someone else she would have laughed.

  “I’ll buy you a drink. It will help you calm down before we are in a jet filled airplane and flying over water for thirteen hours.”

  “Geesh stop trying to freak me out!” Liz said as she stopped right in the middle of the hallway.

  “Oh come on. I’m joking. We will be fine.”

  “I’ll take you up on that drink though.” Liz smiled.

  When it came time to board the plan, Liz felt great. She had finished off two strawberry daiquiris and the thought of flying over the ocean not longer felt horrible. She was actually excited to get into her first class seat and relax.

  “Have you ever flown in first class before?” Ricardo asked.

  “Yes. But it was a short flight. Nothing like these seats.” Liz said as she played around with her reclining seat.

  She let the seat fully recline and turned into a bed and then moved it back into the upright position. She played with the television in front of her and opened and closed all the little compartments around her.

  “Can I offer you some champagne?” The stewardess asked Liz.

  “Of course, that would be great,” Liz said as she got situated in her seat.

  “I think you are going to enjoy this flight more than you thought.” Ricardo laughed.

  Ricardo was very comfortable in his first class seat. Liz could tell he was an experienced international traveler. He put his things away and didn’t feel a need to explore every aspect of the seat and its surrounding areas.

  “Mmmm yes. I am.” Liz said as the stewardess brought her the champagne.

  It was hard for Liz to sleep during the flight because she was so excited. The trip was more than she had hoped for and the free champagne, movies, and snacks made her feel like a teenager.

  As most of the other passengers in first class fell asleep, Liz continued to enjoy her overnight party. She ate tons of junk food and watched all the latest movies that she had meant to catch up on but was too busy with work.
