Four Reasons to Come

by Sarah J. Brooks

  Bella wanted to know the answer, but then again she wasn’t sure she was really prepared for the truth.

  Chapter 8

  Bella tried to make an effort to run into Liz at school, but she just could not find her. Finally on the day before graduation Liz had just finished up her last final and Bella caught up to her near the dining hall.

  “Liz!” Bella screamed as she waved her arms in the air to get Liz’s attention.

  At first Liz didn’t think that Bella was talking to her, she looked around behind her to see if there was anyone else there. Of course, there was not. Liz walked over to Bella.

  “Hey, Bella. How are you?” Liz said.

  It seemed odd to Liz that Bella was not mad at her. For the last several weeks, Liz had thought for sure Bella was pissed off. But here they stood acting like everything was perfectly fine without a care in the world. Liz was relieved that they could move forward from the fight they had.

  “Liz. I’m so glad to run into you. Are you excited about graduation?” Bella smiled and gave Liz a big bear hug.

  “Yeah. I can’t believe I actually made it. I’m kind of in shock.”

  “Who all is coming to graduation? Friends from home, your Aunt, your Grandma? Bella said with excitement. It was pretty darn exciting that Liz had finally graduated from college after she had spent the last five years working her ass off.

  “Nah, no one is coming.” Liz tried not to sound too pathetic as she said this.

  But it was the truth; Liz did not have anyone that would show up for her graduation. In fact, there weren’t too many people in her family that even called to check up on her. When they did, it was around her birthday or Christmas, and that was about it.

  It was at that moment that Bella realized something that she had never truly understood before, Liz really didn’t have a family. Yeah, technically she had people that were her family. But Liz did not have a single person that would put aside their day to day life for one day and support Liz as she graduated from college.

  Bella couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of sadness. Liz was literally alone in this world. She had tried to explain this to Bella many times and although Bella thought she understood it.

  It wasn’t until Liz said that not a single person from her family would be showing up at her college graduation; it hit Bella. Liz was stronger than Bella had realized.

  Bella knew that there was always a core group of at least a dozen family members that would show up at anything she did. Birthday parties, graduations and even a silly dance class she took her freshman year. The recital for her dance class was filled with her entire family.

  “Well, I’ll be there!” Bella said with a smile. “I mean if you are alright with that?”

  “Yeah. Of course.”

  “You’re looking really good Liz. You look happy.” Bella said.

  She had been trying to figure out what it was about Liz that looked different. Although she couldn’t pinpoint what it was, she certainly knew that Liz looked happier than she normally did.

  “Ah, probably just because I’m graduating. It’s pretty exciting.” Liz thought about trying to tell Bella about her and Harrison, but she didn’t want to ruin the moment.

  Plus Liz really wanted to have Bella there at her graduation. It would be nice to have her best friend there as she walked across the stage to get her diploma.

  “Yeah, it’s crazy exciting!” Bella said with her usual high level of excitement. “Do you have a boyfriend now?” Bella asked.

  Liz instantly froze. She didn’t want to answer the question, and she wanted to get away without totally lying to Bella. Liz tried to think of something she could say that wouldn’t be a lie.

  “Well, I better get going. I’ll see you tomorrow at graduation.” Liz hugged Bella, and a total sense of relief filled her body. It felt so good to have made up with Bella.

  Although from talking to Bella it seemed that maybe they had not been fighting like Liz had thought. But whatever had been going on, Liz was excited Bella would be at her graduation. This was going to be one of the best days of her life.

  Liz went back to her apartment and gathered up her things before she headed over to Harrison’s house.

  Harrison had been planning a romantic dinner to celebrate Liz’s graduation, and she couldn’t get over there fast enough. She wanted to relax and enjoy the night before her big day tomorrow.

  Chapter 9

  Liz was amazed at how romantic Harrison had become over the last few weeks. She looked forward to spending time with him. They talked and cuddled. They watched television and sometimes just lay in bed together. And, of course, they made love, often.

  Liz and Harrison were official a couple. They spent more time together than they did apart. His assistant had decided to retire, and Liz worked with him full-time. Although she wanted to move into marketing when she got her degree, she didn’t want to leave Harrison. But Harrison encouraged her to follow her dreams. He wanted her to find her dream job, and that made Liz love him even more than before. He was willing to let her go if it would make her happy.

  Of course Liz could find plenty of marketing jobs in New York, and she wouldn’t have to go far away from Harrison.

  That night they ate dinner and made plans for their future. Liz wanted to find an awesome job in marketing where she could really follow her dreams. Harrison playfully tried to convince her to try out the marketing team at his law firm, although he knew she needed to move onto a new job that she really loved.

  Midway through dinner Harrison got up suddenly from the table and grabbed Liz. He carried her in his arms to the bedroom.

  “I’m so happy,” Liz said as she looked into Harrison’s eyes.

  Only a few months ago she had been a shy college girl who couldn’t even look at Harrison. Anxiety had consumed her and feeling like she wasn’t worthy of having a man as kind and handsome as Harrison.

  But Liz realized that she was worthy of this man. She was worthy of having the happiness she had always dreamed of having. Life felt perfect. Well almost perfect. There was still the big looming concern over Bella and how she would react to finding out that Liz and Harrison were together. But Liz didn’t want to think about that, she would deal with it another day.

  “I’m happy too Liz,” Harrison said as he threw her down onto the bed.

  “Oh, you look happy,” Liz said as she eyed his hard cock as it pressed up against his pants. “Little Harrison looks happy too.” Liz joked.

  “Little? Oh no, you did not just say that.”

  “I did.” Liz laughed.

  Harrison threw his shirt at Liz and then took off his pants. He stood there naked. His hard throbbing cock stood at attention.

  “You can’t tell me this is small.” Harrison had a look of concern on his face.

  “Oh, I think you will need to bring it a little closer.” Liz continued.

  Harrison knelt on the bed and brought himself up to Liz’s head. He let his cock hang only inches away from her face.

  “How about now?” He asked.

  “I think I’m going to have to put it in my mouth. I mean to get a true feeling of its size.” Liz said as she wrapped her lips around Harrison.

  His body reacted by getting harder. He loved the feeling of Liz’s lips wrapped around him. It was hard for him not to instantly explode in her mouth.

  He only let Liz suck on him for a short period of time before you grabbed her again and made quick work of getting her out of her clothes. Soon he had her sitting on top of his cock. It was by far his favorite position with Liz.

  Harrison loved to watch her body riding up and down on his cock. He loved to watch her face as the excitement built up inside of her. She moved harder and faster as the orgasm took control of her body. Soon she let out a scream of delight and collapsed onto Harrison’s chest.

  It felt good to be so comfortable with each other. To feel totally able to let go and enjoy the cardinal satisfaction of being together.

  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.
