Roswell Fanatics

Part 11

After breakfast, Zan accompanied Liz and Shawna to the furniture store Michael had recommended.
“Ok, if you don’t like that one, how about this one?” Liz moved on to the next sofa.
“Hmm. I don’t know.” Zan inspects the sofa and launches himself on it. After flopping around on it a few times, he gets back up. “That’s the one.” He smiles his approval.

“Why should you have so much say in this? It is her furniture.” Shawna grumbled.
“’Cause I’s gonna be stayin’ ova a lot.” He grinned and bumped sides with Liz.
“Well, so am I. You don’t see me telling her what to buy.” She crossed her arms and huffed.
“Awe, I think she’s jealous.” Zan laughed. “Don’t worry, she’ll still need a gal around, too much of me and she’ll go crazy.”

Once all the furniture was bought and scheduled to arrive the next day, Zan offered to take them to lunch wherein Shawna declined.
“Awe, why?” Zan pretended to be upset.
“I have to get back before they realize I’ve been missing from the academy. I’ll come by tomorrow, or I’ll call you. Bye.” Shawna waved them off as she climbed on the bus.
“I guess it’s just you and me.” Zan smiled at Liz and took her hand.
“I guess so.”

~*~

Michael grunted in frustration as he worked under the latest car. It was still early and he was already covered in oil.
“Hey, ahoy down there, space boy.” He heard Maria’s voice cheerfully greet.
“Hey Ria, what can I help you with?” He looked back to see her feet from under the car.
“Well, first you can come out from under that jalopy. Here, I bought food.”

Michael rolled out from under the car and wiped his face on an already dirty rag. He noticed Maria was waiting for a hug.
“I’d hug you, but I’d get you dirty.” He smiled and noticed her shrug.
“I don’t care. Now come over here and give momma some sugar.” She outstretched her arms and pulled him into a big hug.
“See I got you dirty.” Michael sighed and tried to clean a spot he’d left on her.
“Don’t worry about it. I like it dirty sometimes.” She winked and started laughing.

“So, what ya bring me?” He rubbed his palms together and hungrily eyed the brown paper bag.
“Well, a certain artery clogging food consisting of dough, a disgusting amount of melted cheese and various toppings.” She reached into the bag and pulled out a small container with two huge slices of pizza.

Michael snatched the slices away and immediately went on eating them.
“I knew there was a reason I loved you.” Michael said with his mouth stuffed. It took him a while to figure out what he’d blurted out. His eyes went wide and he turned to Maria.
“It’s ok Mike, it’s the pizza talking.” She winked at him and smiled.

~*~

“So where did you get the job at?” Zan asked as he took another bite of his burger.
“Uh, I can’t remember the name of it. Maria didn’t give me enough time to check the place out.”
They finished their burgers quietly and decided to walk around.

Liz caught him staring at her a couple of times.
“What? Do I have part of my burger on my face? Some ketchup maybe?” Liz asked feeling her face for any signs of left over food. Zan laughed, removing her hands from her face.
“There’s nothin’ on your face. I was just…I guess trying to see how much you’ve changed.”

Liz blushed slightly, and tucked a strand of hair behind her hair as she always did.
“So? Anything different?” Liz stopped and made a little turn.
“Lots of stuff.” Zan grins and places a hand around her waist leading her along.
“Like what?”
“Well two of the more prominent changes lie in that small excuse for a shirt you wearin’.” He pointed to her top and laughed as she gasped. “What? You asked.”

“What else?” She asked after getting over his first comment.
“Well, also that tight little ass back there.”
“Ok, what else?”
“Um…” Zan stopped and looked her over up and down. Liz could only stand there and try not to laugh. “I’s guess…you’re hair is even more beautiful, if that’s even possible.” He laughed and saw her blush. “Ok, what ‘bout me?” Zan spread his arms and turned around.

“Well, let me see.” Liz smiled and tapped her finger on her chin. “I guess, your hair. A lot longer and spikier. You’re taller, and more built. And your accent. What’s up with that?”
“Hey what’s wrong wit how I talk?” Zan feigned hurt.
“There’s nothing wrong with it. I like it. Makes you sound all rough neck and all.” She winked.
“I am rough neck girl. I’s thought you knew.” He laughed and picked her up, tossing her on his shoulder.

~*~

“So, you want to sleep over again? I’s don’t like you sleepin’ on some no good mattress.” Zan asked as they stepped into his apartment.
“Oh and your mattress is so much better huh?” Liz giggled as she settled unto the couch.
“Haven’t had any complaints yet.” Zan regretted saying it as soon as the words left his mouth.

Liz looked away from him, biting her lip. He could notice that she understood the implied statement.
“So, have you had many on that mattress of yours?” She asked, staring at the carpet.
“Uh…it’s. I’m sorry Liz, I didn’t mean it like that.” He tried to explain.
“You’re not a virgin?” She asked already knowing the answer. Zan simply shook his head and sighed. The atmosphere suddenly tense and uncomfortable.

“You still are?” He asked and mentally kicked himself the second time in less than five minutes.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but yes. I haven’t had sex. Heck I haven’t even had a boyfriend.” She sighed and crossed her arms. She felt hurt. She thought he’d wait for her. She had.

“None of them meant anything Liz. They were just flings. I never got serious with anyone. I was waiting for you.” Zan tried to explain. He tried to get closer, but she would scoot away.
“No you didn’t Zan. I waited for you. I held out hope. You went out and fucked who knows how many sluts. Maybe I was just being naïve thinking you’d actually wait for me, care about me. But hey, what do I know? I’m just some stupid little girl who still holds on to the idea of true love. I’m just some fucking girl who thought you’d love me. How stupid could I be huh?” She stood up, tears streaming down her face, hurt, angry and confused.

“How can you say that Liz? Of course I care about you. Damn it Liz. You have no idea. You want me to stand here and tell you that no matter how many chicks I “fucked”, the only person I thought about was you? How each and every time I would scream out your name? Liz, I went to sleep thinking about you and woke up from a dream about you. You can ask anyone, how many times they’d walk in on me dreaming about you. How many times I’ve ran through crowded halls, markets, clubs, thinking I saw you only to find out it wasn’t. Fuck Liz, how can you say all those things? I love you!” He shouted, feeling his own eyes start to well with tears. He angrily wiped them away and turned away from her.

“Hey guys what’s up?” Alex walked in carrying bags of groceries. He looked between them and could feel the emotion hitting him in waves. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Zan hissed and stormed out of the apartment without even looking back.
“Liz?” Alex looked at her, crying and broken.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” She sniffed and walked out herself.

Alex simply put the bags on the counter trying to figure out what had happened.

~*~

“Hey chica. How was your…day?” Maria walked into Liz’s apartment to find her crying on the floor. “What’s wrong girl?” She rushed to her side and pulled her into her arms.
“Nothing. I’m just being stupid.” Liz tried to control her tears.
“Look I know I haven’t known you for a long time, but I already know that you are not stupid. So spill. What happened?”

“It’s just….just…Zan, Zan isn’t a virgin.”
“Yeah. Oh.” Maria gasped in realization. “Sorry. But to his defense, not that it can excuse him, it wasn’t many and, well…he really loves you. I should know. I was the one who had to meet up with the girls after, hearing them complain about him saying some other girl’s name. Your name.”

“I don’t know if that’s supposed to make me feel better.” Liz sighed and cupped her face in her hands.
“I know it’s hard chica. But you have to cut him some slack. He suffered just as much as you did. He lost you and was sent to some terrible boarding school. He’d been alone for so long. When Michael met up with him, he was a wreck. Practically on the streets, carrying only a duffle bag with clothes. He’s had it rough.” Maria sighed and placed a kiss on Liz’s cheek. “Take it from someone older, guys mess up. It’s up to us women to help them along.”

“Thank you Maria. You’re a great friend.” Liz smiled and wiped her eyes.
“No problem. I should really get my own talk show. Or at least write a book.” They both laughed.

tbc...

Hotness Alert!
lol



Part 12

“Buddy? Yo Zan, food’s here.” Michael called out through the locked door. Zan had been locked in his room all day. Only coming out to use the bathroom. “Come on man. I know you’re hungry.”
“What is it?” He heard Zan’s soft voice.
“Mexican. From your favorite place.” Michael waited patiently and finally Zan opened the door. “You look like hell.” He commented and Zan smiled slightly.
“Feel like hell.”

Michael led him out to the living room where everyone was already eating. Even Liz.

Zan’s eyes widened when he saw her. He certainly didn’t expect to see her there.
“What do ya want?” Michael asked him as he rummaged through the food containers.
“Burrito.” Zan mumbled in replied, only occasionally glancing over at Liz as he sat on the floor.
“Zan why don’t you come sit over here?” Maria patted on the couch she shared with Liz.
“Uh…I…I’s ok here.” Zan stuttered, not wanting to look up.”
“Awe come on Zan. Sit.” He looked up at Liz’s voice and saw her smile.
“You sure?” He asked as he got up and walked over. She nodded and moved aside giving him room.

“So, we cool?” He asked uncertainly as he sat down.
“Yeah. We’re cool.” She smiled.
“Still friends?”
“Best friends.” She grinned wider and bumped his side.

~*~

The room was lit by the flicker of the TV screen.
Alex laid on his stomach with his face cradled in his hands, with Maria settled next to him. Michael sat on his recliner watching the two with a smile.

Zan and Liz settled on the couch. Zan laying behind her, both on their sides, propping himself up on his elbow. He could see over the top of Liz’s head. She had her right hand under her head and her left resting on her hip.
“You comfortable?” She whispered to him.
“Yeah. You?” He whispered back into her ear, watching her slightly shiver. He smiled and leaned closer against her body.

~*~

“Should we wake them up?” Alex whispered not wanting to wake up the couple on the couch.
“Nah, leave them there.” Maria smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “Good night.”
“Hey what about me?” Michael protested and held his hand over his chest in hurt. Maria giggled and kissed him good night as well.

~*~

Sometime throughout the night Liz had shifted. She now faced Zan. Their breaths mingled and arms ended up around one another. She cuddled closer needing to feel more of the delicious warmth that engulfed her.

Zan moaned as something brushed against his lower region. It nudged between his legs and settled there as something else draped itself around his waist. He could feel something warm and soft in his arms and he pulled it closer. A soft moan sounded against his throat and hummed through his body. His blooming erection strained further in his jeans.

“Mmm.” Liz purred as the warmth splayed out across her back, rubbing and caressing. She buried closer, her left leg wrapping tighter around whatever it was she draped it over. Something edged closer to her center and she desperately drew it nearer. Her lips were parted allowing the hot air to enter her lungs, feeling puffs hit her face.

Zan’s hands traveled along what his mind now registered as skin. Hot, smooth skin. Skin that moved and stretched under his palms. The legs that tangled with his drew him closer. Jeans rubbing against jeans. His legs rubbing between the legs of the person who copied his moves. He could hear the feminine whimpers and feel her breath on him. Small hands scratched at his back, bunching the material of his shirt. He mimicked her, moving his hands under her shirt. No one had yet to fully wake.

“More.” Liz whimpered feeling the ache within her grow until tears streamed down her face. This dream felt so real. She could hear the male sounds and feel his rough hands under her shirt, his leg pressing against her core. She pulled him closer, frantically wanting to feel more and more. “Please.”

Zan slowly opened his eyes, needing to prove that it was no dream. It was hard to see in the darkness of the room, but he didn’t need to see to know who it was. Her throaty pleas gave her away. It was Liz. He could see the glimmering tears slide down her face by the street light that shone through the window. He leaned in kissing her eyelids before following the wet trail down to her lips. Entry was not hard since her lips were already parted. His tongue slid along hers earning him another moan.

“Liz. Lizzie bear. Wake up. Please.” He whispered against her lips. He wanted to have her there with him. “Liz.”

Slowly but surely, Liz opened her eyes to find another pair looking back at her. She was scared at first but then remembered all she had been feeling. It had been Zan all along. She smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

“Liz? You…you ok with…this?” He whispered hoarsely. His hands had found the strap of her bra and were now unconsciously working at it. He felt her nod and once again their lips fused. Her body clung to his tighter and she was desperately riding his leg. “You hurtin’ babe?” She nodded and whimpered helplessly. “Want me to help you?” He asked, his lips just touching hers.
“Please.” She pleaded, her breaths coming out labored. “Help me Zan. It’s hurts so much.”

“OK babe.” He smiled and kissed her lips. One hand left her back and slid down to the waistband of her jeans. “Lay back.” He told her and slid over so she lay under him on her back. He sat up, smiling as she moaned in protest, quickly forgotten as his hands worked on her fly. She lifted her hips as he pulled the material down.

Zan moved back down against her bringing one hand up to her cheek while the other slowly inched under the panties.
“But…still on.” She tried to explain but he kissed her again, smiling as he looked into her eyes.
“Yeah. They stay on or I will lose it.” He winked as he reached her moist curls. He shook his head when he felt her face heat with a blush. “If you want me to stop, just say it.” He whispered.
“No. Don’t stop, please. Don’t stop.” She bucked under him as a skilled digit slipped within her folds. “Don’t stop.”

“I won’t.” He promised and pushed deeper, letting his thumb work on her sensitive nub. He couldn’t believe just how hot and slick she was. He’d never thought his little Lizzie bear could ever be so responsive. A little too responsive, he smiled as her hips desperately bucked and her moans increased in volume. He decided to kiss her to keep her moans from waking up anyone else.

Liz couldn’t believe anything could feel that good. She was glad he was kissing her now because she was sure she would be screaming right about now. She felt him insert another finger and pump into her faster. It was like he was reading her mind. And just like that, he lightly pinched her bundle of tight nerves, allowing her to find that sought after release. A rainbow of colors exploded behind her eyes and her legs trapped his hand where it was, and tightening her arms around his neck.
“Better?” He asked as he drew back.
“Mmm…hmm.” She nodded. “Thank you.”
“Thank you.” He sighed. “Can I have my hand back now?” He laughed. She sighed and loosened her legs enough for him to extract his hands, to her disappointment. “Thank you.” He smiled and kissed her forehead.

He reached down and raised her jeans back into place and fixed her fly. He eased back in besides her, turning her on her side facing him again. “You’re so beautiful.” He sighed and ran his fingers through her damp locks. “So fucking beautiful.” He kissed her once more before cuddling and closing his eyes.

Liz waited until his breathing settled into a steady rhythm. He looked so sweet when he was sleeping, but the image of him hovering over her as he worked his magic was going to be forever burnt into her brain. She leaned in pressing her lips against his. His arms instinctively wrapped tighter around her.
“I love you.” She whispered, knowing he wouldn’t hear her.

“I love you too.” He moaned back, back it was obvious he was still sleeping.

TBC...

Glad you guys are so far enjoying it.
And don't worry touched by an alian, part 20 will be here in no time lol


Part 13

When Liz woke up she was surprised to find herself alone on the couch. Was it all just another dream. But it was so real. She frowned as stretched out like a cat.
“Hey there sleeping beauty.” Maria’s voice fully woke her up.
“Hi Maria.” She smiled and sat up.
“Zan went out just five minutes ago if you’re wondering where he is. Said he got to get something.” Maria told her knowing she wondered where he was.

“Thanks. What time is it?” Liz stood up and made her way over to Maria.
“It’s just a little past eleven. What time are you supposed to be at work today. You do start today right?”
“Oh yes! I have to be there at twelve. I almost forgot.”

“Hello ladies.” Alex stepped out of his room, hair all disheveled, sleep still resting in his eyes.
“Good morning Alex.” They chirped together.
“Well. If Zan comes back soon let me know, if not tell him I had to leave for work.” Liz waved and rushed to her apartment.

“So what do you think happened here last night?” Alex motioned over to the couch.
“Oh, something happened. That’s all I know. Zan was in an extra happy mood this morning and when she woke up she looked like if she was missing her lover. I don’t think they…you know, but they did something.” Maria clarified. “And on that note, I’m off. I told my mom I’d visit her today. Can you believe that. On my day off I have to spend at home.” She sighed and put her glass down in the sink. She waved Alex bye and left.

~*~

Zan came into the apartment and immediately scanned for Liz.
“Ya just missed her pal.” He heard Alex say from the small kitchen. “She just left for work ten minutes ago.”
“Damn. I’s forgot. Speaking of, I have to be at work right about now too. Look if Liz gets here before I do give her this ok? Bye.” He set the small bag on the counter and sprinted off.

Alex peeked into the bag and smiled. Inside lay a small brown teddy bear. But something else caught his eye. He reached in and pulled out a small box. Alex almost choked on his laughter as he looked at the condom box. ‘For extended pleasure for Her’ He was sure Zan didn’t mean to give that to her so he went and placed them in Zan’s dresser.

~*~

“Zan, my new assistant manager, you’re late.” George said as Zan ran in.
“I know, I’m sorry. I had something real important to do in the morning and I lost track of time. But I’s here and ready. What do I have to do?”

“Well, first I’d like to introduce you to our newest waitress. She’s at table three let me take you to her.” George smiled slyly. Zan didn’t have a chance to question him as he walked ahead. “Liz let me introduce you to your boss.”
“But I thought you were my boss.” She smiled.
“I am but this is my new assistant manager.” He stepped aside to reveal Zan.
“Zan?”

“Liz? You…you’re the new waitress?.” He looked at her and then at George. “Let me guess. Maria?”
George laughed and nodded.
“She brought Liz in a couple of days ago. She had told me her plan before, but that’s not why I hired her. She was well prepared and I can tell she’s going to be a great edition here. Well, now that the introductions are over with, I’m off. Good luck Zan. Liz.”

“Well, this is a surprise.” Liz smiled brightly as she cleared the table. So Zan was her boss. This could prove to be interesting, she thought to herself. “So, what happened to you this morning?” She peeked over to still find him behind her. She leaned a little further as she wiped the table. “I woke up and you were gone.”

“Uh, yeah. I went out to buy something.” He followed her as she carried the dirty dishes to the back.
“For me?” She grinned. She was loving this. Zan was trailing behind her like a little puppy. He looked so cute.
“Maybe. Sorry for just leaving but I wanted it to be a surprise. So when do you get off?”
“Didn’t I already do that last night?” She asked innocently and watched as Zan stared wide-eyed at her. “I’m off at six. How about you?”
“I close. Assistant Managers have to stay. But hey I can’t complain. The money’s good.” He grinned. “Um, looks like table four needs some service.” He pointed over as a group settled into the table.
“Got it boss.” She winked and sauntered off.

~*~

Zan found himself gawking helplessly as Liz worked. He couldn’t concentrate on the paperwork on the desk. He would sneak out and make rounds around the restaurant floor, talking to the patrons and looking at Liz. The red skirt of her uniform clung to her hips and thighs, and inched ever so as she walked and bent. Her black blouse allowed a peek at a measurable amount of cleavage. But the sexiest thing was the way the high heels made her legs look. He loved her legs.

~*~

She could feel his eyes on her. It sent chills down her spine to know that he was watching her move from table to table, bending over to retrieve dishes and tips. Even leaning over to allow a better view.

She would sneak a little peek at him herself. His black slack pants fit him perfectly, and his black button down shirt gave him that sexy sophisticated look. Even as the top three buttons were undone revealing his white shirt beneath, he still looked clean cut. He walked around talking to customers and then disappearing back into his office. She would sigh as he left only to perk back up a couple of minutes later when he resurfaced.

~*~

Clearing her last table and collected her tip, Liz was relieved that her shift was done. She untied her small apron and went to the back. She sat down on the small sofa and took off her shoes, massaging them.
“Some of the other girls bring extra shoes.” She looked up to find Zan leaning against the door frame. His sleeves were rolled up, and more buttons were undone.
“I’ll take that into consideration. My feet are killing me.”
“Here let me help.” He walked over and sat beside her on the sofa.
“I thought you already did that.” She winked and smiled, letting him reach down and place her feet on his lap.

“I’m very good with my hands.” Zan smiled and commenced massaging her sore feet. He watched as her eyes drifted shut and a smile played on her face.
“Very good.” She moaned and sighed.
“I…I uh…better get back to work.” He abruptly shoved her feet down and stood up.
“But…” She looked up at him and noticed his flushed face, and the very apparent bulge in his slacks. “Let me help you.” She stood up and walked towards him only to have him back up.
“Liz, please. Just go home now.” He pleaded and rushed into his office.

Liz didn’t know what had happened. One minute things were ok, and the next Zan is springing up and running away from her. Was it something she said, did wrong? Sadly, she put her shoes back on and left out the back way.

~*~

Zan landed in his chair hard. He needed air, lots of air. Who knew giving a foot massage could be so erotic. But it was. Seeing Liz enjoy his touch so freely, just did it for him. But instead of giving in to the pleasure he found himself backing off. He read the look of hurt and disappointment clear on her face, but he still turned away.

It was almost painful to sit, his pants felt too restrictive. Oh if he could only go back out there and drag her into the office to have his way with her. But he cared about her too much to have her first time be like that. Urgent and hurried along. He wanted her first time to be special, not like his. He wanted everything to be perfect.

~*~

Alex heard footsteps going down the hall and he snuck a peek. Seeing that it was Liz he quickly snatched the bag Zan left and ran over.
“Liz! Wait Zan left this for you.” Alex jogged up to her and handed her the bag.
“Uh, thanks Alex.” She smiled and looked in the bag. “Awe.” She sighed and pulled out the teddy bear. It was so soft and cuddly. Brown with a red ribbon around its neck.
“If you want, I’m cooking tonight. It’ll all be ready in about an hour.”
“Thanks. I’ll be there later.”

She waited until Alex was back in his own apartment before entering hers. Setting everything aside she carried the bear into her room. She set it down on her newly set bed and smiled wickedly. She popped a CD into her stereo and turned back to the bear. As the music pumped she started undressing to the rhythm. In her mind’s eye the bear turned into Zan, watching her strip.

She laughed to herself as she swayed before the plush animal. She took off her bra and tossed it to the bear, knocking it over. “Oh Zan, can’t handle that?” She giggled and skipped into the bathroom.

TBC...

Part 14

Zan finally trudged home, carrying his black shirt in his hand.
“Long day?” Michael looked up as he came him. “There’s some leftovers in the stove. Alex cooked.” He warned and started laughing.
“Hey be nice. It was pretty good tonight.” Maria spoke up from her seat on the floor. Before Zan had a chance to reach in for the food Maria sprang up. “Hey, be a dear and send some to Liz. She was supposed to come over but she said she was tired.” She smiled. Zan nodded and loaded two plates of food and headed over.
“Another one of your plans?” Michael smirked. Maria winked and settled down beside him.

“Whoa!” Alex jumped out of the bathroom, spray can in hand. “I’d give her about thirty minutes before ye enter.” Alex started laughing and went into his room as the other laughed.

~*~

Zan stood before her door wondering how to knock seeing that his hands were full. He started to kick the door hoping she’d hear. Soon enough he could hear the sound of slippers making their way across the floor and the door opened. He nearly dropped the plates when he saw her.

She was only wearing a gray sports bra and black briefs, leaving her creamy smooth belly free for view. Her hair was held back in a ponytail, that was already almost undone.
“Um, food.” He raised the plates.
“Oh. Um, ok come in.” She stepped aside and let him in.

“I’ll be right back.”
“What, why?” Zan looked up as he set the plates on her counter.
“I’m going to put something else on.” She blushed.
“Nah, you ain’t gotta do that. Here I’ll make it even.” He pulled off his shirt and pants, and kicked off his shoes, leaving him in only boxers and socks. “There.” He grinned.

Liz smiled and took a seat at the counter across from him. “It’s still warm.” He said and picked at the food. Liz took one bite and made a face. He started laughing as he saw her trying to chew. “You ain’t gotta eat it. Alex cooked.”
“I take it Alex isn’t the best cook then.” She smiled and spit the food out in her napkin. “I wasn’t really that hungry anyways. I guess working with food all day does that for you.”

“Were you’s asleep?” He asked as she yawned. She nodded and yawned again. Zan smiled and moved over beside her. In a swoop, he picked her up and walked into her bedroom. Her eyes were already closing as he laid her down.
“Zan…” She whispered as he started to pull away. “…stay. Please.”
“You sure?” He said, even as he climbed onto the bed.
“Yeah.” She sighed and snuggled closer to him. Her leg draped over his and her arms around his neck. “Just stay here. Don’t…go.” She drifted off to sleep.
“I won’t, babe. I’s not going anywheres.”

~*~

“Zan’s been over there for a while now.” Michael whispered.
“He’s staying the night.” She smiled and snuggled closer.
“You’re like some kind of panderer, you know that. Why have you made those two your newest project.?”

The TV was off now. It was just Maria and Michael sitting together on the sofa. Alex was long asleep, and they had been talking since.
“I just like seeing people happy. And those two are happy together.”
“What about you? Why haven’t you tried to make you happy?” He turned to her. He’d never even seen her with other guys. The only guys he’d seen her talk to have been Alex, Zan, and himself.
“I am happy Michael. Right here. Right now.” She smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek. “I’m sleepy. Good night.”

Michael remained on the sofa after she went off to her room. Laying down on the spot where she’d just been. He could still smell her. She’d just been gone for like five minutes and he already missed her. Then everything fell into place. Why he felt weird when Zan and Maria would goof off. Why he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Why he was currently sniffing the sofa cushions. He liked her. He was head over heels over Maria DeLuca.

His heart started to beat out of his chest. And he sought out her room door, and felt like running through it and telling her what he felt. That was a thought. Burst in there in full Jerry Maguire mode and tell her she completed him. That only made Michael laugh. He could never do something as cheesy as that.

Sighing he rose and walked over to his room. He’d sleep on it, and think things through some more.

~*~

She heard his footsteps stop at her door. She knew he wouldn’t walk in thinking she was already asleep. When she thought about getting up, his footsteps faded away towards his bedroom. She’d fallen for Michael to minute she laid eyes on him. She could remember that day clearly.

She had been looking through the paper all day. Still she couldn’t find a place in her price range. She had decided that living at home with her mother was no longer an option. She needed out.
“Damn.” She cursed.
“Uh, you ok?” She jumped at the sudden sound.
“Sorry, you scared me.” She gasped and looked up. When she did she discovered a god.

“Sorry about that. I’m Michael.” The handsome man stuck out his arm and she took hold of his hand.
“Maria. Sorry for the outburst. I’m just having trouble finding a place.” She tossed the paper aside and sighed loudly. She saw the man before her make a strange face. It was as if he was battling within himself. Then finally he spoke.
“Um, me and my roommate are actually looking for someone else. We got lucky and got this great apartment. So far we have two empty rooms. You can check it out if you want.”
“Thanks. I’d like that.”

And she’d lived there ever since. She’d dubbed Michael the homeless shelterer. He’d taken everyone in. Alex’s story was not that different from how they found Zan. He’d been out in the streets with Betsy, his guitar, playing for money. Michael talked to him for five hours and took him in.
He was such a great guy.

“Oh Michael.” She sighed and settled back into the covers.

~*~

Liz stirred in her sleep. Something was making it hard for her to breathe. Zan. She remembered. She smiled and tried to shift so she was no longer crushed into his chest. But she only got far enough to move her head. His arms wouldn’t release her. Sighing, she simply held him back.

She could feel something hard probing her thigh and looking down between she and Zan, she found what it was. Zan. She tried to pull away again, only to have him groan in protest. His eyes finally opened.
“What?” He asked sleepily. He could see her smiling.
“Something has been poking me for the past twenty minutes or so.” She giggled and moved her leg so it grazed him. He gasped and moaned. “Been wondering when you’d wake up and ask for some help.”

Sleep totally left him, and his eyes widened at her words.
“Liz, you ain’t gotta do nothin’…” He started but Liz covered his mouth to stop him from talking. She pushed back a bit more and began to slide her hand down his body. He tried to stop her progress, but she kept on. “Liz.” He groaned as her hand finally reached down to cup him through his boxers. “Liz you don’t…ah…” Her hands slipped through the flap in the front of his boxers. “Liz..”
“Shh. You helped me, I’m just returning the favor. What are friends for?” She winked and stroked his hard member.

Liz smiled as Zan laid back and allowed her to continue her ministrations. She enjoyed hearing his moans and seeing his face contort into pleasure. Feeling him grow even more in her hand. Without thinking she let go of him.
“Wh…what…why are you stopping?” Zan sprung up, breathing hard.
“Lay back down. I just want to see…you.” She waited for him to understand, and as he laid back she pulled down his boxers.

Zan now lay before her, nude for all to see. But of course, only she could see him now. She studied the thick, dark patch of hair that revealed his manhood. And what a manhood it was, she awed. She'd never really seen a man like this. Maybe a few glimpses from the photos in books, but that could not prepare her for what she was looking at right now.
“Liz…please.” She heard him groan and how tightly he clung to the sheets. She held him again. And gasped when he moaned. He sounded like some wild animal. And that excited her. She stroked him again, slowly, enjoying the feel of him, until she felt his hand on hers. “Let me help.”

Liz looked up at him, she wasn’t doing it right. “No. Liz, you’re great. You’re not doing anything wrong. It’s just…slow right now is torture. Let me help you.” He smiled and showed her how much pressure and the right pace. Once she had it, he let her go. He was trying his very best not to grab her and bury himself deep inside her. He couldn’t touch her just then.

“Zan?” She asked as his face changed and he bit his lip. Before she could ask again she felt something warm and sticky coat her hand, and even her stomach.
“Sorry. I…I couldn’t hold it in any longer.” He breathed out and wiped the sweat from his face.
“It’s ok.” She assured him and continued to look at the liquid on her hand. Without thinking she brought her hand up to her mouth and licked her palm.
“Liz? What…what are you doing?” He sat up to see her lick her palm again.
“I…I just wanted to see…” She felt embarrassed and blushed.
“If it tastes like anything?” He grinned and wiped her hands and stomach of his semen. “Well? Does it?” He teased.
“I don’t know. I don’t know what it tastes like. Can I…?” She glanced down at his now flaccid member.
“Can you what?” He followed her eyes and gasped. “You want to...?” His eyes widened. And without wanting to he felt himself grow hard again.

Liz nodded and smiled shyly. “As good as that sounds…I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Zan smiled and reached for his boxers, putting them back on. “Now just go back to sleep.” He kissed her on the nose and pulled her down beside him.

“Thank you.” He whispered as he held her. They faced each other.
“What are friends for?” She mumbled sleepily and closed her eyes. Zan laughed softly and kissed her.
“Good night.”

TBC....

Part 15

Liz and Zan woke up in each others arms. They stayed looking into the others eyes for a while, just watching one another. The silence only broken, when Liz started to giggle.
“What?” Zan couldn’t help but laugh with her. Her laughter was contagious.
“Nothing. This is all just….nice.” She beamed brightly at him then ducked under the covers.
“Oh no you don’t.” He laughed and followed after her.

~*~

The insistent ringing woke Shawna up from her sleep. She’d been having the best dream, although now it was more of a feeling than any real images. Groaning loudly, she rolled over and reached for the loud, shrieking beast.
“Hello?” She mumbled, half angry half still asleep.
“Did I wake you?” Alex’s voice came through, sounding ashamed.
“Kinda, but it’s ok. What’s up?” She sat up with a big grin on her face. Now that she knew it was him, she felt better about being woken up.

“I’m sorry. I just…” Alex felt bad now. He knew it was too early to call, but he just had to. His fingers were already dialing the number before his mind decided to call.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m glad you called. It gets pretty lonely here now that Liz is gone. Only good thing is that they decided to leave me be instead shoving in one of those princesses.” She could hear Alex’s laugh and smiled. “So, what are you doing up so early?”

“Just thinking…” About you, he thought to himself. “..I just found myself calling you up and before I had a chance to think, you answer.”
“Yeah, well I had no choice. Either answer, or let it keep ringing.” She laughed. “Like I said before, I’m glad you called.” She could see his silly grin right over the phone. “Hey, I uh, I got today off. Teachers’ meetings or something. Are you free?”
“Actually, I do work today.” Shawna sighed despite herself and Alex continued. “But I got the night shift today. I don’t have to be there till six. So I’m all yours till then.”

~*~

“Zan, get out!” Liz squealed as she tried to close the door Zan was trying to get past. “I’m going to take a shower!”
“That’s why I’m trying to get in.” He laughed and finally pushed his way in. As soon as he closed the door behind him he began to undress.

“Zan!” Liz gasped as he reached for his boxers. “What are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’s doing? I’m getting nekkid.” He laughed and with one quick tug, his boxers pooled at his ankles. Stepping out of them, he jumped into the shower. “Well, what you waiting for? An invitation?” He said peeking out from behind the shower curtain.

He started to sing loudly, and rather badly from inside the shower. Liz couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on. It’s pretty lonely in ‘ere.” He peeked out again with a pout on his face.
“I don’t know.” Liz sighed.
“You have to shower anyways. Come on, we used to shower together all the time when we was little.”
“Yeah, the point is that we were little. We’re not little anymore.”
“Ya got that right.” He laughed.

“OK then. I’m going to come in. No funny stuff.” Liz turned around and peeled off her clothing. When she stepped behind the curtain she met with a very soapy Zan. His hair with all lathered up and he was even lathered down there. She began to giggle nervously. “I see you’ve already started without me.”
“Well, yous was takin’ too long. Hope ya don’t mind.” He winked and moved under the stream to rinse the soap away.

Liz stood transfixed as all the lather slid down his body, revealing more and more of him to her. His head was bent back to rinse the shampoo from his hair and all she wanted to do was throw herself at him and nibble on his neck. But instead she opted to just stand by and enjoy the view.
“Ya just gonna stand there?” Zan brought her attention back. “ Or do ya needs help washin’ up?” He asked with a grin.

“Hmmm.” Liz tapped her chin in thought and smiled. “I think I might need some help. I’ve seemed to have forgotten just what I’m supposed to do with such things.” She pointed to the soap, shampoo and conditioner.
“I think I can help with that.” He spun her around and reached for the shampoo bottle, emptying a small amount into his palm. “You just relax now. Let Zan take care of ya.” He cooed and slathered the liquid into her scalp.

Liz was in heaven. Feeling him massage her scalp was so good. She felt him back up and pull her head back so that the water rinsed her hair. She was then moved forward as Zan reached for the conditioner. Slathering her hair with that now, he spun her around to face him. Liz couldn’t help but take a peek down under, and sure enough there he stood. Proud and strong.
“Babe you keep looking at me like that, and yous gonna regret it for sure.” Zan said. His tone serious and strained. Like he was forcing himself to hold back.
“Why would I regret it?” She asked, leaning into him. His erection pressing low on her stomach.

He groaned then pulled her close and slightly rubbed himself on her to relieve some of the painful pressure.
“Damn girl, yous gonna kill me ya know that.” He hissed through clenched teeth. He bent down to rest his forehead on hers and looked right into her eyes. “Do you know how hard it is not to just take you right ‘ere?” He was breathing harder now. Liz raised her hand up to his chest and felt just how fast his heart was beating.
“You’re shaking.” Liz raised her hand up to his cheek. “Zan?” She could see the pained and torn expression in his eyes.
“I can’t Lizzie. I can’t do this to ya.” And then he did something she hadn’t seen in six years. He started to cry.

Liz wrapped her arms around him, holding his shuddering body. “Yous too good for me. I’ll only hurt ya. I didn’t mean for it to get this far. I’m sorry Liz. I’m sorry. I…I just want ya so bad. I always have.” He let his hands feel her. Down her sides, over the curve of her butt, and back up again. Liz could see his eyes change from the warm amber, to hot fire. “Yous feel so good. So pure. Yous all I’s ever wanted and more.”
“Zan, you’ve always been the one I wanted. Ever since we were kids. Zan you don’t have to fight it anymore. I want you. Always have, always will.” She cupped his face and kissed him.

“No Liz. You don’t know that. You ain’t never had anyone else. You coulds change your mind down the road, and I don’t know if I could handle that.” He was pleading with her now.
“I’m not going to change my mind Zan. I want you. I love you.” She kissed him again with more force than before.
“I love you too.” He kissed her back and tightly wrapped his arms around her waist. “I want you to be my girl. My only.” She saw his expression change again, and his teeth clenched even tighter. “Ah, I just want to sink into you. But I can’t this way. I’s want your first to be special.”
“Zan, as long as it’s with you it will be special.” She smiled sweetly.
“Thanks babe, but I’s don’t want your first to be all about me. If we do this now, I’ll be all me. My body’s too strung tight right now to be slow and soft. I’s don’t wanna hurt ya.” He smiled despite the frustration his body was going through. “I think I’lls just let ya finish your shower now.” He kissed her again and quickly tried to exit the shower. He only got one foot out the tub when he felt Liz’s hand on his arm.

“You actually think I’m going to let you go out like that. You must not think too much of me.” She winked at him and pulled him back in. “Just because we aren’t going to go all the way just yet, doesn’t mean we can’t do other things.” She lowered him down on the edge of the tub and sat him down. “Now last night, you didn’t let me do something. But now is a good a time as ever.”

Zan watched as she kneeled before him and spread his legs apart.
“Ah, Lizzie…” But even before he could finish his protest, her tongue gently flicked over the tip if his penis. He gripped at the sides of the tub until his knuckles turned white. Liz continued to lick, suck and swallow him whole. He knew he wasn’t going to last much longer. He reached one hand up to run through her hair. “Ah, Liz…I…I’m not going to make it.” He growled.
“Let go Zan.” She looked up at him and winked, giving Zan that extra push he needed.

Liz felt the warm, sticky substance fill her mouth and stream down her throat. She waited until he went limp to pull away.
“Where did you learn to do that?” Zan panted as he tried to regain his breath.
“Uh, I didn’t really know if I was doing it right. But I guess I did.” She confessed with a shy smile.
“Ya certainly did do it right.” He pulled her in between his leg and kissed her. He shyly pulled back when he tasted himself in her mouth. “That’s weird. It’s me in there.” He laughed.
“Yep.” She licked her lips. “And I’d never tasted anything like that.”
“Ok, now I’ll let you get back to your shower.” He kissed her quickly again and jumped out of the tub.

~*~

“Hey stranger.” Maria greeted as Zan tried to sneak back into the apartment. He’d been hoping he could just sneak back into his room without anyone catching him. He should have known.
“Hi Maria. What are you doing up so early?” He tried to play it off, but knew from the twinkle in her eye that Maria was up to something.
“Early bird gets the worm. What about you? Didn’t come home last night. And looks like you’ve showered, but not here.” She grinned. “What happened?”

“Come on Maria. You had it all planned out. You tell me what happened.” He grinned back and started laughing.
“You didn’t? Did you?” She gasped. Yeah, she had planned it to happen, but for it to actually go through, was unbelievable.
“No Maria. We didn’t have sex.” He shook his head.
“Ok, I know how you play word games. How about making love? Did you do that?”
“No. Damn girl. You act like you want us to. What’s it to you if we do?”

“Nothing. I just like seeing people happy. And, you my hermano, I love seeing you happy for once.” She smiled and pinched his cheek.
“Thanks.”

~*~

“Yo, Zan haven’t seen you in a while.” Alex teased as he stepped into the apartment.
“Well I figured I’d grace ya with my presence. It ain’t fair depriving ya’ll of all this.” Zan laughed. “And where you been all morning?”
“Out.” Alex tried to avoid the subject, but he knew Zan wouldn’t let it drop there.
“Out where? With who?” Zan pressed further.

“A friend.” Alex continued to avoid the subject.
“Do I know this…friend?” Zan grinned.
“Yes.”
“Well, who the hell is it?” Zan stopped Alex from moving past him. Alex sighed and relented.
“Shawna.”

“Shawna? Liz’s friend Shawna? Ok ya gotta tell me.” Zan laughed and crossed his arms.
“You know, you’re beginning to sound more and more like Maria every day.” Alex teased earning him a glare. “And yes, Liz’s friend. We went to the book store.”
“So since when have yous two been all chummy? You hitting it?” Zan winked and nudged Alex.
“No I’m not ‘hitting it’ as you so eloquently put it. We started talking when Liz first started looking at the apartment.. She’s pretty cool.” Alex couldn’t help but smile as he remembered their day.

“So you like her eh? She’s cool. I approve.” Zan laughed and patted him on the back before disappearing into his bedroom.

TBC...

Part 16

Liz glided out of the apartment building in a euphoric haze. She was on cloud nine, and not about to come down anytime soon. She walked over to the bus stop and sat down on the bench. They were going to be a couple. After years of wanting just that, it was finally going to happen.

“Liz Parker?” She looked over to see two men in suits looking down at her.
“Yes, that’s me. Who are you?” She asked puzzled by them. She’d never seen those men before in her life. She saw them nod to each other.
“Your father wishes to speak to you ma’am.” The tallest one spoke. He pulled out an envelope and handed it to her. “He is staying at the Marriott down town. He asks that you meet with him this afternoon.”

Liz took the envelope and frowned. How did her father know where she was?
“Is he having me followed?” She asked angrily. She stood up and stared straight into their eyes. She was by no means intimidating them though. She was a very petite woman.
“Your father only wishes you be protected ma’am.” The other answered. They looked straight out of Men In Black. Even equipped with sunglasses.
“You tell my father, that I don’t need his protection. I’m very well on my own. As for meeting him, you can tell him to forget it.” She turned as the bus pulled up and climbed on board.

~*~

“What do you mean she won’t meet with me? I’m her father!” Jeff Parker shouted angrily at the body guards he had assigned to Liz.
“She said she will not meet with you sir. She was pretty angry.”
“I won’t have her disrespect me in that way.” Jeff slammed his fist on his desk. “Where is she now?”

“She is employed at a restaurant named The Spot. Her shift started an hour ago.”
“She works in a restaurant?” Jeff asked incredulously. The men nodded. “Mark, Justin, I want you to keep following her. I want to know who she socializes with. As a matter of fact…I want pictures of them. I want background checks on everyone she comes in contact with. You hear me?”

The men nodded and quickly left the office. Jeff took several deep breaths to control himself. His daughter could have taken over the business. Could have been successful. He pounded his desk angrily again.

~*~

Liz sulked as she took the orders and cleaned the empty tables. Ever since her little encounter with her father’s goons, she was in a bad mood.
“Is everything alright Liz?” Her boss came up and asked.
“Yes. I’m fine. Just had some trouble this morning.” She sighed and put on a smile. “Thanks for asking though.”

The chimes sounded announcing someone’s entrance. Liz looked up and grinned seeing who it was. Zan looked over and saw Liz and strode over to her.
“Hey babe.” He grinned and swooped down for a kiss.
“Hey yourself. I like this.” She smiled and kissed him again.
“Me too.” He hugged her tighter and sighed. He finally had Liz Parker. He noticed her face change and pulled back a bit. “What’s up?”

“Huh?” She came back from her haze and looked up at him. “Oh, I had an unfortunate encounter this morning on the way here.” She pulled away and finished clearing the table.
“What happen?” Zan followed her as she took the plates to the back.
“Well, I had an unfortunate encounter with two of my dad’s henchmen. Seems he’s having me followed. Can you believe that? And then he has the nerve to want me to meet with him.” She placed the dirty plates in the sink and wiped her hands.

“What did he want?” Zan followed her.
“I don’t know and don’t care. He practically said I was on my own, why should I meet with him now? They gave me this envelope. Haven’t opened that either.” She turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m so glad I found you. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t.” She smiled and kissed him.
“Me either.” Zan grinned and leaned down for another kiss.

“Back to work kiddies.”

~*~

Michael stepped out of the bathroom, a solitary blue towel covering him around his waist. He looked both ways down the hall and listened for any sound. Once satisfied that he was alone he stepped out and walked toward his room. When he opened the door he found Maria sitting at his desk.
“Uh…” Maria looked him and over immediately forgot why she was in his room.

“Uh, Maria, what are you doing in here?” He asked suddenly aware of his lack of clothing. He clutched the towel securer in his hand, keeping it from slipping.
“I…I…I forgot.” She admitted and felt her face flush bright pink. His hair was still soaking wet and tiny droplets fell from it, traveling down his naked torso. “Oh yeah…um, some, some girl called for you.” She reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. “Samantha something or other, I couldn’t really understand her. She said something about meeting with her at 5 in the shop.” She handed him the paper.

“Oh yeah. I’m was supposed to meet her at 7, but I guess she had to move it up.” He nodded and reached into his drawer to pick out some clean boxers. He could see Maria out of the corner of his eye, as she looked him over again. He smiled and turned back. “Anything else?” He watched as her eyes snapped back to his face.
“Uh, no that’s it.” She smiled and stood up. She was just about out the door when she turned back. “So…who is this Samantha?”

“Just some lady from work. She wanted to talk business or something. Didn’t say much.” He walked around picking out his clothes, still just wearing the towel.
“Lady huh? So how old is she? Nice looking?” She asked. Ever since she got the call she felt a stab of jealousy.
“She’s in her thirties I guess. Why?” He turned to face her and saw her cross her arms. Maria’s defensive stance. “You…jealous or something?” He grinned.
“Jealous? Me? Ha! Now why would I be jealous?” She snapped. She watched as he walked up to her. “I…I was just wondering. You know how protective of you guys I am. Not just any woman can mess with you…uh, any of you.”

“Any of us, or me?” Michael stepped closer. He could feel his lower region wake slightly just by her presence. “Are you jealous Maria?” He was now within arm’s reach.
“Why should I be jealous Michael?” She breathed, her lashes heavy and her breathing picking up. “I don’t have…” She didn’t have a chance to finish her sentence as Michael closed the remaining distance between them and crushed his lips on hers.

~*~

“Come with me.” Liz pulled on Zan’s arm.
“Where we goin’?” He asked as he let her lead him away.
“Store. I need to buy some things. Come on, I hate riding the bus alone.” She pouted and batted her lashes.
“Ah, no fair Lizzie. You know I’m a sucka for that.” He pouted and started to laugh. “A’ight. We’ll go shoppin’. But we goin’ in my car. I ain’t traveling in no stinkin’ bus.” He laughed.

They arrived at the store and Liz gleefully jumped out of the car and made her way inside with Zan trailing behind. He watched her skim through the aisles, dumping random products into the cart.
“Zan, can you go and get the milk please?” She smiled over at him. He nodded and jogged over to the dairy aisle.

Liz ran over to the next aisle and slipped an item among the others in the cart. She made her way back to where she was before just in time to see Zan jogging back with the milk.
“Here ya go.” He grinned and placed the milk in the cart.
“Thanks.” She smiled and blushed slightly.
“What?”
“Nothing.” She smiled innocently.

~*~

“Maria? Hello, Earth to Maria.” Michael waved his hands in front of her face.
“Huh? Maria blinked and looked at him.
“I said I need to get dressed can you just step out for a sec.” He looked at her and waited for her to leave the room.
“Oh, yeah…uh sure.” Maria said quickly and exited the room. Whoa, that was one hell of a day dream.

TBC...
hehe, just keeping you guys on your toes

Part 17

Zan helped Liz put her groceries away, not noticing the way she intentionally set one particular bag aside. She kept her eyes on him, watching him bend and put the things away in drawers and fridge. ‘Nice ass’ she thought and smiled. She eyed the bag again and felt her cheeks slightly blush.
“I’ll be right back.” Liz said and quickly took the bag into the bathroom. Zan simply thought it was her “unmentionables.”

He continued to put the products away, thinking about her father. He remembered how that man would look at him with hate. He never understood why.

Zan shifted on his feet as he waited for Liz. They had a project to do in class together and he stood under her balcony.
“What do you think you’re doing boy?” Zan swallowed hard and slowly turned around. There stood a very pissed off Jeff Parker.
“Um, me and Liz have a…a project in, in class and…”
“I thought I told that good for nothing father of yours that I wanted you nowhere near my daughter.” Jeff glared at the nine year old boy before him.

“I know sir, but we…we have to work on this project and…”
“I don’t care!” Jeff shouted causing Zan to jump back in fear. “I’ve told you before Alexander. I don’t want to see you here again.”
“It’s Alejandro sir.” Zan slinked back.
“I know what your name is. Now get out of my sight.”

“Zan. Zan?” Zan shook the memory away and looked up at Liz. His jaw nearly hit the floor.
“Lizzie bear?” He continued to salivate over her. Liz leaned on the door frame leading to her bedroom, wearing a white tank without a bra, and a pair of very, very skimpy white panties.
She knew exactly what she was doing. She slowly stepped away from the door frame and approached him.
Zan was still squatting in the small kitchen, holding a loaf of bread. He had totally forgotten what he had been thinking about as Liz sauntered up to him.
“What, what, why, what…” Zan tried to speak but found it incredibly difficult.

“Zan put the bread down.” She spoke huskily as she stopped a foot away from him. Zan nodded and dropped the bread. He wanted to run to her, to sweep her off her feet and throw her on her bed, but his legs wouldn’t move. He was glued to the spot. “Come here Zan.”
“I’m trying. God I’m trying.” Zan said through clenched teeth. He could feel his slacks becoming smaller by the minute.

She was now slowly kneeling down in front of him, her long brown hair sweeping over her shoulders. She took his hand in hers and smiled. “Get up Zan.” She began to stand back up, bringing Zan up with her. Zan could only stare and nod as he rose to his feet. She smiled sweetly at him and began to lead him toward the bedroom.
“Wha, what are you doing?” Zan finally managed to speak again.
“Shh, just come with me.” She smiled and squeezed his hand. “Don’t speak, just come.”

They stepped into the bedroom and Zan immediately noticed the flickering light of candles. It was still daylight outside, but with the curtains shut and lights off the room was dark. Liz let go of Zan’s hand and moved toward her dresser. She turned her small stereo on and walked back to Zan. Slow music filled the room, finishing the romantic atmosphere.
“Lizzie…” He was silenced by a warm palm covering his mouth.
“What did I tell you about talking?” Liz sighed and moved her hand to cup his cheek. “Zan, you said you wanted it to be special. This is special. It’s with you.”

Zan smiled and looked back around the room.
“Looks like you put a lot into this.” He grinned and looked back at her.
“I certainly did. Now don’t put all my hard work to waste.” She smiled and leaned up to kiss him. Zan welcomed her kiss, letting her direct it as she pleased. He couldn’t deny it any longer. He wanted her. Wanted her for a long time. And he wasn’t going to fight it anymore.

Liz walked backward towards the bed, still kissing him. She smiled inwardly that he wasn’t fighting it anymore. She was nervous, yes, but she wanted this. Wanted him. Loved him. She pulled away from him and sat down on the bed. Watching him pull his shirt up over his head, she moved back on the bed toward the pillows. She could feel that familiar ache building between her legs as Zan crawled on toward her.
“You know I love you right?” He said seriously as he hovered over her quivering body. Liz could only nod as she watched his lips descend over hers.

~*~

“So? What have you found out?” Jeff Parker’s voice boomed over the cell phone.
“We have their names sir. There is a Maria DeLuca, Michael Anthony Guerin, Alexander Whitman, and an Alejandro Pedro Evans.” Justin the body guard/henchman replied from the office. Mark, the other henchman sat in front of the computer gather as much information about them as possible.
“Evans? Did you say Alejandro Evans?” Jeff shouted angrily.
“Yes, yes sir.” Justin had to pull the cell away from his ear.

Jeff slammed the phone back in its place and poured himself another drink. They’d found each other.
“Damn it!” He yelled angrily. Gaining back his composure, he redialed the number.
“Yes sir?”
“Keep a close eye on that Evans boy. I want to know how often he sees my daughter and where he lives.”
“Sir, we can tell you that now. Mr. Evans lives just down the hall from your daughter, along with the three aforementioned parties.” Again the phone hung up.

~*~

“I love you too Zan.” Liz whispered as the last layer of clothing that separated them was discarded. She could feel Zan’s rough hands trailing up her leg from her ankle. His strong touch sending shivers all through her body.
“So beautiful. You have no idea.” Zan revered looking into her dark eyes. They had retrieved a condom earlier from the mysterious bag from the market. She confessed that that was why she’d drug him to the store. “So pure.”
“Thanks.” She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She could feel his arousal pressing intimately against hers.

“Are yous sure you want this?” Zan asked praying she wouldn’t change her mind.
“Positive.” She smiled and pulled him closer by wrapping her legs around his hips. “Please Zan.” She cooed and bit her bottom lip.
“I’ll be careful. I’ll try not to let it hurt that much ok. If you wanna stop tell me, ok?” He saw her nod and positioned himself at her entrance. She gasped at the initial contact and told him to keep going.
Zan sheathed himself in until he reached her maidenhead. He looked into her eyes searching for any protest, instead finding an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance. Lowering his lips on hers, he pushed the rest of the way in, swallowing the gasp of surprise and pain.

It killed him to have hurt her, but in a strange way he felt elated to have been the first to have her in this way. “You ok Lizzie?” He stopped moving allowing her body to adjust to the new intrusion.
“Uh, yeah. Yes, I’m fine. It hurt, but I’m ok now. Don’t stop Zan.” She encouraged him by moving her hips against his. He took the hint and pulled away, only to thrust back in to the hilt.

Liz moaned as he found just the right pace that satisfied both of them. She found herself meeting his thrusts each time. Getting more aware and comfortable to being so open and vulnerable, she explored Zan’s body seeing what he felt like all over and what he liked. She would rake her nails lightly over his chest and harder down his back and shoulders seeing how positively it affected him.

“So perfect.” Zan moaned as he continued to move in and out of her. This had to be a dream. He would wake up any minute now in his room, sweating and reaching out to an empty bed. Nothing this good could be real. He could feel her hands all over him, like she was trying to memorize every contour. He knew that if he looked at her too long he would lose it too fast, and he certainly didn’t want that to be a memory of her first time. Every time he dared to look at her, she was biting her lip, or her lips were parted and eyes closed blissfully. Once he looked down at her and she was looking back, and he nearly lost it there.

“Zan, oh Zan!” Liz moaned out loud as she was over come by the earth shattering explosion going in inside her. Her legs tightened around him and she pulled him down for a kiss.
“Ah Liz!” He groaned as her walls tightened even more around him. At last, he could no longer hold out and rode the wave with her.

“Oh Zan. Zan, Zan ,Zan. Oh god I love you so much.” Liz sighed and kissed him deeply. Zan kissed her back eagerly.
“Ah Lizzie I love you too. So much.” He was still buried within her. “Let’s…let’s rest a while.” He suggested, knowing there was no way he’d be able to leave the bed.
“Sounds good to me.” She smiled. They both rolled on their sides and settled.

~*~

Michael sat in front of the television set. He had met with the women from work. She had told him how she was leaving the business in someone else’s hand, and suggested that he might be the one who received it. He was elated, and he wanted to celebrate watching a hockey game and drinking a nice cold beer.
“Whatcha watching?” Maria flopped down beside him. Michael smiled as he looked over and smiled at her appearance. He never knew Maria to look nothing but glamorous, but now she was wearing a pair of over sized gray sweat pants, a black sports bra, and her hair pulled back into a bun.
“Hockey.” He grinned.
“What?” Maria frowned and looked around.
“Nothing. You look cute.” He tugged at her pants.

“Well I didn’t have work, and I’m feeling kinda blah. You think I look cute?” She blushed and smiled.
“Yeah. You always look amazing Maria. You don’t need all that stuff you put on your face. You’re beautiful just the way you are.” He couldn’t believe he’d said that. He was being more open than he was comfortable being. He smiled and turned his attention back to the hockey game.

Michael thought she was beautiful? Maria jumped for joy inside. She tried to keep the huge grin on her face hidden.
“You’re not so bad looking yourself.” She nudged him with her shoulder as she leaned in to him. Michael smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, bringing her closer. He kissed the top of her head, and turned back to the TV.

Part 18

Zan yawned and stretched. He’d had the best dream ever. As he continued to stretch he noticed that one, he was naked, and two, he wasn’t alone. And that’s when he realized that he was still embedded in said person. As he opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was hair. Lots of brown hair. He opened his eyes more and saw lots of skin as well. Beautiful, gorgeous, glowing skin. He brushed the hair aside and looked at his angel.

Just watching her made his lower region start to come alive. He couldn’t help but move within her, loving the way her tight walls enclosed him.

Liz could feel something slipping through her sleep. Something screaming at her to wake up and see what was happening. She felt something pulling her tighter into something warm. A slight moan escaped from her lips and she could hear softer grunts and moans. As her eyes opened she was encountered by two hazel eyes shining back at her. She now noticed him moving within her and moaned again.
“Hi.” She smiled and ran her hand over his arm. “Someone was eager weren’t they?”
“What do you expect. My dreams are finally coming true. Ah, and yous feel so good baby. I can’t get enough of ya.” He rolled them both over and pulled Liz on top of him. He could see the confusion in her face. “I want to see you like this. Is that ok?” He placed his hands on her hips and sighed.

“O…ok. I just, I don’t know what…what to do.” She bit her lips and felt her cheeks turn pink.
“I’ll show you.” He grinned and began to help her move. “All you gotta do….is pretend you’re ridin’ one of them mechanical bull things.” He smirked. “And every once in a while, you move like in a circular motion. Yous in control like this.” He winked and noticed that she was getting it. “That’s it.” He grinned and moved his hands up her sides.

Liz balanced herself by placing her hands on his chest. She followed his instruction, looking at him to make sure she was doing it right, and by the look on his face she was. She threw in some circular motions, watching as he arched up into her and held to her tighter. She could feel his hands on her ribs, moving higher. His warm touch getting closer and closer to where she craved they would be. The higher they went the faster she moved on him.

Watching her throw her head back like that was enough to make Zan lose it. His hands were just at the curve of her breasts now. Reaching up he cupped them and ran his thumb over her hard peeks. Liz cried out and rode him faster.
“Ah!” Zan groaned feeling himself strained beyond belief, but he didn’t want to let go. Not yet.
“Zan!” Liz cried out one last time and collapsed on his chest. Her breaths coming out in hot puffs on his already heated skin.

She yelped in surprise as she found herself flipped and pinned. She looked up at Zan’s grinning face and moaned as he began to pump furiously. She could feel the wave building up once more and rode it out along with Zan. “Oh Zan. Zan, that was unbelievable.” She breathed and smiled.
“Well yous best believe it babe. You….are…so…amazing.” He kissed her after each word.
“You too. Now I think we should get up.”
“I’s always up wit you Lizzie.” He grinned, but reluctantly pulled out of her. “Awe, I wish I could stay inside you all the time.”
“If you did that we’d never get anything done.” She giggled and sat up.
“I’d always be doing you. That’s getting somethin’ done.” He winked and ducked as a pillow flew at his head.

~*~

Alex knocked on the window again. He’d climbed the very tall tree and hoped that he had the right room. He saw a light turn on inside and held his breath.
“Alex? Is that you? What are you doing?” Shawna whispered.
“I ah, I came to see you but they don’t allow boys in after hours. So I climbed the tree.” He laughed nervously and nearly lost his footing.
“Oh my god, be careful Alex.” Shawna looked down and saw the possible fall. “You better get inside before you fall and kill yourself.” She stepped back and let Alex climb inside.

“You are crazy you know that?” Shawna giggled and watched Alex stumble in. “You have to be quiet, or the angry nuns will come in with rulers.”
“Angry nuns?” Alex whispered and ducked, making Shawna laugh. “You should have told me that before I came down. I’m not messing with no angry nuns.”
“Well, not really nuns, but a scary head mistress. What are you doing here anyways?”
“Came to see you. I hadn’t called, and I felt bad, so I wanted to come down, but a scary woman with a green mask and rollers wouldn’t let me in.” Shawna laughed and covered her mouth to keep quiet.
“That would be the head mistress Ms. Swanson.”

“So…I really had a great time the other day.” Alex admitted and smiled.
“Yeah, me too. I never knew how many great places there were here. I’m glad you showed me around.”
“It was my pleasure. Who else can you get who can take you to the best guitar shop in town?” They laughed quietly.

~*~

“It’s quiet.” Maria whispered against Michael’s chest.
“Yeah.” Michael sighed, his eyes fighting to stay open.
“Too quiet.” She whispered again.
“You’re right.” Michael sat up and looked around. “Zan hasn’t been home since he left for work, and I haven’t even seen Alex today.”

“Alex left two hours ago while you were screaming at the set. He didn’t say where he was going, but he left in a hurry. And I haven’t heard from Liz either.”
“Do you think they…” Michael trailed off, looking down at Maria.
“I don’t know. Maybe…” They both sat up as the door to the apartment opened and in walked, looking very worked out.
“Uh, I’m just going to get some stuff.” He smiled awkwardly and disappeared into his room.

Maria and Michael looked at each other knowingly and smiled. “Laters.” Zan waved and exited the apartment.
“I knew it.” Maria cheered and hugged Michael. He hugged her back full force.
“I got to admit. I only don’t know what took them this long.” He laughed.

Maria smiled and pulled away from his embrace slowly. She loved the warmth of his arms. Sighing, she stood up from the couch and stretched.
“It’s late. I guess we better head off to bed.”
“Yeah.” Michael agreed disappointed.

They headed to their own rooms. Michael sighed and rubbed his hand on his face. He loved holding Maria like he had been. Feeling her breathing rise and fall, and how good she smelled. He pulled off his pants and shoes and climbed in bed. Two minutes later he heard a soft knock on his door.
“Hi.” Maria whispered as she stepped in. “Were you sleeping?”
“Maria it’s been three minutes, of course I’m not asleep.” He smiled into the darkness. “What?”
“The place is too quiet. It’s scary.” She shifted and that’s when he noticed she was holding her pillow.
“Come here.” He moved aside and patted on the bed. She grinned and quickly hopped onto the bed beside him.
“Thanks.” She yawned and cuddled closer to him. Michael smiled and pulled her closer.
“No problem. Good night.” He kissed her forehead. She mumbled a ‘good night’ and fell asleep.

~*~

Zan stepped back into Liz’s apartment, carrying new clothes for the next day. He couldn’t bear having to leave her so he told her he’d stay the night. He walked into the bedroom and found Liz asleep. Setting his clothes down on her dresser, he tip toed back to the bed. Striping his clothes, he climbed back in and snuggled close to Liz. She mumbled something and moved closer to him in her sleep, making Zan smile.
“Zan?”
“Shh, goes back to sleep Lizzie. I’s here. I’s not going nowhere.” He kissed her and wrapped his arms around her.
“m’kay.” She sighed and went back to sleep.

TBC...

Part 19

The alarm clock blared to life in the quiet room. Liz groaned and rolled over instantly regretting it. All her muscles protested any sort of movement, especially her lower regions. Her thighs burned and it felt like someone had kicked her really hard, down there. She moaned in discomfort and turned off the noisy appliance. She tried to stretch out again and winced. Then it was that she remembered the cause of her soreness. Turning to the other side she smiled as she looked at Zan. The thin, cotton sheet just covered him, exposing a generous amount of tanned flesh. The curve of his butt was visible and she held in her gasp when he began to stir.

The sheet moved even lower on his body as he turned on his side, now facing opposite her. She took in the contours of his well defined back and his supple cheeks. She bit her lip trying to suppress the moan she knew would surface. She moved closer and winced again at the pain between her thighs.

“Lizzie?” Zan mumbled against the pillow. He’d heard her moan, but could tell it wasn’t from pleasure. He slowly turned around to face her and could read the discomfort in her face. “You hurtin?”
“Yeah.” She nodded and tried to smile. “But just a little. Don’t worry.” She tried to sit up and winced again.
“I hurt ya. I’m sorry Lizzie. I knew I shouldn’t have pushed for a repeat. It was your first time. Damn, I’s sorry babe.” He sat up and kissed her face, neck, and shoulders.

“It’s supposed to hurt the first time Zan. You knew that. Now stop fussing. I just need an aspirin and I’ll be good as new.” She placed a sweet kiss on his lips and slipped out of bed. “Oh my.” She gasped as she looked down at the bed and her inner thighs. There were red spots on the sheets and some dried blood on her thighs. “Guess I have to wash today.” She blushed and covered the mess.
“Come on, you can help me shower again.” She winked at him, noting the guilt building in his eyes.

~*~

Maria made her way into the kitchen. She’d been woken up by the smell of food wafting into Michael’s room. Noticing that he was no longer in bed, she figured it was him cooking, and she did love it so much when he cooked. Once she checked herself in the mirror to make sure she didn’t look too horrible, she stepped out.

“Good morning. Waffles?” Michael asked as she shuffled over to the counter. She yawned her acceptance and sat down. He smiled and poured more of the mixture into the waffle maker. “Coffee?” He offered her the hot brew and she nodded with another yawn.
The smell of the waffles filled the room and Maria began to respond.

“Mmm, those smell so good. What kind are they?” Her stomach rumbled and he laughed.
He shrugged and served her two waffles, setting the syrup beside her plate and coffee. He watched and waited as she took her first bite. “Mmmm, mis is so goof.” She said with her mouth full of waffle.
“What?” Michael chuckled as he placed some waffles on a plate for himself.
“I said…” She swallowed the remaining waffle. “…that this is so good. Blueberry right?” He nodded and began to eat his own waffles. “God these are so good. You’re too good to me Mickey.”
“Nothing can be too good for you.” He smiled shyly and shoveled more of the waffles into his mouth to keep himself from saying anything else stupid.

Maria smiled and could feel her heart skipping wildly in her chest.
“Michael…” She started but was interrupted by the opening of the front door and Alex rushing in.
“I’m late!” He yelled as he ran to his room. They could hear the clatter and crashing and then he stumbled back out, tripping as he tried to pull up his pants. Michael rushed over to him and helped him up.
“Whoa, you ok man?”

“I’m late! I fell asleep on the floor at Shawna’s and now I have ten minutes to get to work.” He tried to explain while pulling up his pants.
“Shawna’s? You were with Shawna all night?” Maria got up from her seat, standing in front of them with her hand on her hips. “She’s in a private, all girl’s school, how did you manage to get in and manage to spend the night?”

Alex looked up at Michael and saw that he would get no help there.
“I…I climbed a tree to her room.”
“You what?” Michael and Maria asked at the same time.
“Yes, I climbed a tree, climbed through her window and fell asleep on her floor because we spent half the night talking. Now I have to go to work. Bye.” He said quickly and ran out the door.

“Can you believe that?”
“I know. Never knew he had it in him. I always thought he was afraid of heights.” Michael laughed.

~*~

“Zan I can’t do my job with you following me like this.” Liz cooed as she tried to clear the table while Zan kept his arms wrapped around her waist.
“But yous smell so good Lizzie. How can yous expect me to leave you?” He murmured into her ear.
“You better not leave me.” She teased and turned her head to look at him.
“I’lls neva leave yous Lizzie. Never.” He said seriously and kissed her temple.
“I know. And I’ll never leave you either. Ever.” She smiled and turned to place a quick kiss on his lips.

~*~

Jeff held a picture frame of a much younger Liz in the arms of her mother. Nancy Parker died a year after giving birth to their daughter. She had gone in for a routine appendix removal and left dead. Something had gone wrong while they were operating and she ended up bleeding to death. At least, that was the story he’d always told Liz.

Jeff had to raise Liz on his own with some help from his mother, but she too died when Liz was six. Liz was all he had left of family, and she hated him. He set the frame aside and picked up his phone.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Parker, we’ve set all the preparations you asked for.”
“Good, I will see you in a week.” He hung up and took another look at the picture. “Oh Nancy, where did I go wrong?” He sighed and walked out of his office.

~*~

Zan walked behind her with his arms around her waist. They walked together like that back to the apartment building. After work, they’d gone to get some ice cream and to rent some movies. Both of them had the day off the next day, and they were going to make the most of it.

“Oh, wait. I gotta get some more supplies.” Zan stepped beside her and took her hand. He took them into a small market and headed directly to his destination. Liz raised her eye brow when he started getting packages of condoms.
“Hmm, someone thinks he’s getting some.” She teased and giggled when he winked at her.
“You’s like a drug Lizzie. I’s addicted, gotta keep doin’ ya.” He grinned and paid at the register.

Once they reached Liz’s apartment, Zan was practically pulling off their clothes.
“Slow down bucko. We’ve got all night and all tomorrow.” She calmed him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

Zan relaxed and smiled. She was right, they had all night, and hopefully more than that. He gave her a light squeeze and walked over to the television. Liz served their ice cream and then settled at his side.

They popped in the first video, and immediately forgot all about it.
“Zan….” Liz cooed as Zan nipped at her ear, his breath tickling her neck. The movie had not even started, only in the previews, when Zan started his ministrations. She squirmed as his mouth now gently sucked on her neck.

He couldn’t take it anymore. Every stupid preview had some kind of sex scene in it, and he’d had enough. He turned his attention to the only thing he could keep it on. Liz. She had been intently gazing at the screen when he slowly leaned over and started kissing her neck. Her soft moans and pleas only making the fire inside him burn even more.

“Mmm, Lizzie…” He sighed as he felt her pulse quicken beneath his lips. His hand made its way up her bent leg, up to her stomach, until finally resting just below her breast.
“Higher.” Liz managed to breathe out as Zan’s lips reeked havoc on her senses. Zan smiled against her neck and reached up to cup her through her shirt. He could already feel her bud poking out through the fabric.

Zan slowly help Liz lay back on the carpeted floor and brushed her hair back never looking away from her eyes. They still held the innocence he loved so much. They held so much hope, knowledge, love.
“You’s so beautiful Liz.” He felt his way down her right arm. “So soft, perfect, my angel.”

Liz blushed under his gaze and looked away, only to quickly look back into the hazel depths of his eyes.
“You’re my everything Zan. You always knew that. Even when we were kids. You were my only friend.” She pulled him down and kissed him thoroughly.

Soon they both lay naked with each other, the only light coming from the forgotten television screen. The soft light creating the shadows on their bodies. Zan had rushed to the bedroom and retrieved the box of condoms he’d purchased earlier. Now they were both in synchronized movements, their breath in tune and hands moving over each other.

Finally the last sigh came and they were both spent.
“Oh Zan. Oh god that was…oh god.” Liz tried to get her breathing under control. Her arm was tossed over her face, with her chest heaving. She felt Zan’s hand on her pull and smiled.
“Don’t cover ya face sweets, I wanna see ya.” He pulled her arm away from her face and kissed his way up her body to her lips. “You’s all salty.” He grinned.
“Well, so are you mister. We should go shower.”
“Shower?” Zan perked up and in one swift motion, picked her up with him, and ran to the bathroom.

~*~

“Have you seen my red thong?” Maria burst into Michael’s room wearing only a baby blue towel, that barely covered her moist skin. Michael had been at his desk and nearly fell off his chair when she walked in like that. Her hair was piled up by a clip and her skin was blushing. A warm glow emanated from her. “Hello? Did you hear me?”

“Huh?” He swallowed the lump in his throat.
“Have you seen my red thong? I need it, I’m wearing my red mini and I need my red thong.” She pulled the towel as it was slipping. She blushed slightly but shook it off. “So?”
“No I haven’t seen your stupid thong.” He grunted and turned away.

“What crawled up you ass today. You were fine this morning.”
“I was. I have a lot on my mind. Now if you don’t mind…” He waved her off.
“Gees, ok, ok. Sorry to bother you, your royal asshole.” She snapped back and slammed the door behind her.

Michael cursed to himself as the sound reverberated throughout his room. He waited until he heard the sound of her door being slammed shut before reaching into his pocket and pulling out the little red thong. He bunched it in his palm, and brought it up to his nose. How can one tiny piece of fabric cause such a stir in him. He felt aroused and angry all at the same time. Aroused because he knew how good she looked in it, and angry because he knew how good she looked in it. He knew very well how all the guys tried to catch a glimpse of it under that thing she called a skirt.

“You know, I don’t know what your problem is but if you think…is that my thong?” Maria asked as she burst back in. Michael was so stunned he didn’t have time to hide the incriminating evidence.
“Uh…”
“You found it? Where was it?” Maria snatched the thong away from his hand.
“Uh, yeah. I found it. It was, uh…under the desk, in the corner. Don’t ask me how it got there.” He replied offhandedly.
“Well, whatever. Now I can finally get dressed.”
“Yeah if that’s what you call dressed.” Michael retorted.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Maria walked back over to him, still sporting just the towel.
“It means, that what you call getting dressed, I call going out naked. Now go on and put on your ass floss and your Band-Aid you call a skirt.” He shouted and felt his face burn.
“Well I’ve never heard you complain before. Not that you should be concerned with what I do or don’t wear.” She huffed.

“It’s none of my concern. You don’t care about what I think. So just go get dressed damn it.” He was losing it by the sight of her still in his room in a towel.
“What do you mean I don’t care what you think. I hold your opinion high. What you think means a lot to me.” Maria shouted back, but her tone was softer.

“Not at the moment. I’m telling you what I think and you’re biting my dick off.”
“You wish.” She snorted. “I’m pissed because you’re acting like a total ass for no reason.”
“I’m acting like a total ass because you think it’s perfectly fine to go around town naked.”
“Naked? Oh you want to see naked. Here’s your naked.” Maria yelled and let the towel drop.

The moment the towel hit the floor, so did Michael’s jaw. Maria was standing in his room, naked, breathing heavily, and looking incredibly hot.
“What the hell are you doing?” Not exactly what he was thinking, but it was the only thing he could say.
“You say I enjoy walking around naked, well I’m naked now buddy. Now what do you have to say?”

Michael was on his feet in a flash, crashing his body against her very naked one. He kissed her roughly and they both fell back on the bed….
At least that’s what he wanted to do, instead he continued to sit in his desk chair, staring at her.
“You act like you’ve never seen a naked woman before.” She scoffed and picked up the towel, wrapping it around herself again, to Michael’s disappointment.

“I haven’t.” He mumbled, but she’d heard.
“What?” She turned around.
“I haven’t.” He admitted and sighed.

She started to laugh hysterically, the towel almost falling off again.
“You’re kidding me right? You’re pulling my leg.” Maria laughed.
“I’m not kidding.” He put his face in his hands to shield himself from further humiliation.
“Come on, you’re 23 and you’re telling me you’ve never seen a naked woman?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“You’re lying.”
“Why would I lie about that? You think I get off at humiliating myself?”

Maria stopped laughing and wrapped the towel tighter.
“So you’re telling me you’re a….a…”
“Virgin. Yes.” He finished for her and watched as Maria’s jaw now hit the floor.
“Wow.”
“Tell me about it.”
“But even Alex has had sex.”
“Not helping.” He sighed.

TBC...

Well here's the long awaited part 20!!
Enjoy

Part 20

Liz and Zan finally made their appearance in the apartment.
“Ah, the lovers return.” Maria raises the glass she was washing to them. “And to what should we owe this obvious pleasure to?”

“Well I do still live here.” Zan smiled and kissed Liz once more before she made her way over to the couch.
“Really? I forgot.” She teased him and winked. “So…how’s life?”
“Amazing.” He grinned.
“Ah the look of love. I forgot how idiotic it looks.” She giggled.

Liz sat down on the couch beside Michael, whom didn’t seem to notice at all.
“Hey.” She leaned over and smiled. Michael only turned and grunted.
“Don’t get too disappointed, that’s the most you’ll get from him at the moment.” Maria told her.
“Rough morning?” Zan asked as he poured himself some coffee.
“Always.” She sighed and continued washing the dishes.

~*~

“So what do you want to be?” Alex asked Shawna as they strolled down the park.
“A doctor I guess.” She answered and took another sip of her drink.
“Maybe you didn’t understand the question. What do you want to be?” He pushed.
“A singer.” She smiled shyly.

“I knew it. So what made you answer doctor the first time?”
“My parents.” She sighed and took another sip. “They want me to be a successful black surgeon, not some lowly musician as they call it. What did your parents want you to be?”

“An accountant.” He laughed. “Can you imagine me in some stupid office processing stupid numbers for some stupid fat cats?” They both laughed then. “So I said screw you to that idea. I love my music. And I’d never give it up for anything in the world.”
“Not even for a beautiful woman?” She teased.
“Well, I am a guy.”

~*~

“He is?” Liz covered her mouth with her hand in order to keep the gasp in.
“I know. I couldn’t believe it. But it’s true.”
“And he’s 23?”
“Yep.”

Liz and Maria sat in Maria’s bedroom. They were doing each other’s nails and gossiping.
“Wow.”
“That’s what I said.”
“And you just dropped your towel.” Liz giggled.
“Well, I had to prove my point. And what better way than with nudity?”

~*~

“So you ain’t never…?” Zan motioned with his hands as if he were smacking an invisible ass.
“No.”
“Never? But what about all those chicks I seen you with?”
“Never.”

“And to believe I looked up to you.” Zan laughed. They were out behind the apartment complex playing basket ball.
“Hey there’s nothing wrong with it ok.”
“Come on even Alex has…”
“I heard that from Maria, I don’t have to hear it again from you.” Michael charged and slammed the ball into the basket.

“Well it’s true. I ain’t tryin’ to say shit, but come on, Alex is…you know.” Zan took the ball.
“Can you just drop it already?”
“Man, you’s know I’s never gonna drop this.” Zan laughed and ran past Michael shooting the ball but missing.

“Look I’m bigger, stronger, and a whole lot madder than you so don’t start.” Michael warned as he took the ball next.
“What ever you say…cherry.” Zan laughed then fell back as Michael charged at him, knocking him over, and slamming the ball into the basket again. “You’s good. Must be alls that extra…what ya call it, pent up energy from not getting laid.” Zan laughed even harder as Michael glared at him.

~*~

“Talk to me girl. I don’t hear from you in two days. Don’t tell me you forgot about your dear friend who’s still locked up?” Shawna talked into the phone.
“Now how can I do that. And hey, I tried to break you out but you said no.” Liz giggled.
“So, how you been?”
“Great.” Liz sighed dreamily.

“Oh my god. You did it. I knew it. I could feel it in my bones. You know I have some voodoo blood in me. Oh, and I had a dream about you eating a hot dog. I knew it.”
“So you dreaming about me eating a hot dog means I had sex?” Liz questioned as she tried to keep her laughter in.
“Yes. Now tell me, when, how, where, everything.”

“When, was two days ago. How was, well I guess the word would be amazing. Where, would be my bedroom. And I don’t think I can tell you everything.” Liz laughed.
“Oh you better. You move away and suddenly I know nothing. It’s like you forgot about me.”
“Girl You know I could never, ever forget you. Ok, what do you want to know?”

“Well how was it? Did it hurt?”
“It did hurt, but at the time I was pretty much preoccupied. But that morning, agh I was hurting all over.”
“Yeah? Well, how was he. I don’t mean performance wise, well maybe that too, but like you know…I don’t know how to explain it.”

“He was amazing. He wanted everything to be just right. Which is why I had to seduce him.” She giggled and heard her friend gasp.
“You seduced him? How?”
“I set the mood. I put candles all over my room, closed the curtains, set some music, and came out in my underwear. You should have seen him.”
“I would have died. You are bad girl.”

~*~

Zan stepped out of the building whistling to himself. He couldn’t get enough of Liz. He had walked in on her as she was on the phone and practically mauled her. They had a laugh as they heard Shawna screaming over the phone to hang up before they went any further.

His life was perfect. He had a great job, a great girl, great friends. Everything was great.
“Mr. Evans.” He turned and was faced by two tall men in black suits. Reminded him of the Men in Black.
“Yeah.” He nodded.
“Can you come with us please?” One of them stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

“Listen I don’t know who you are or how you know me, but you better get your hands off me.” Zan glared.
“Just come with us kid.”

He soon found himself dragged off and thrown into a long, black limo.
“Look I don’t know what’s going on here but…” Zan started to say but froze when he saw the man sitting across from him. He swallowed hard. “Mr. Parker?”

~*~

“I’m glad we could all get together and have a girl’s day.” Liz cheered.
“Me too. And you better take me out somewhere nice. I’ve had finals, and not to mention having to hear what I heard earlier.” Shawna glared playfully.
“Ooh, you heard them having sex?” Maria grinned.
“Almost. I would have heard the whole thing but I started to scream until they hung up the phone.”

“That’s priceless.”
“Sorry about that girl. I swear, he surprised me. He just burst in and jumped on the bed.”
“Ok, I don’t need to hear about it again.” Shawna rolled her eyes and sighed.
“Well I’ve heard nothing, so spill on sister.”

Liz told them everything, updating them to that morning.
“Wow sister, you’re certainly getting more action than I am lately.” Maria sighed. The girls were walking arm in arm down the street.
“Well I don’t know why. You live with two perfectly fine males.” Liz teased.
“Well one is totally being an ass, as I’ve said, and the other…well he’s taken as I do believe.” Maria smiled slyly and looked over at Shawna.

Liz turned to Shawna and gasped mockingly.
“Now who’s forgetting who?”
“Oh that.” Shawna blushed.
“Yeah that. So you’ve been seeing Alex and you tell me nothing? I’m hurt.” Liz sniffed as though she was crying.
“Ah, don’t give me that bull, you were knocking boots with Zan and didn’t tell me anything. Besides, we’ve just been hanging out.” Shawna defended herself.

“Alex spent the night with her once.” Maria said and then turned her head as if she’d said nothing.
“What?” Liz stopped and turned to Shawna. “Explain.”

“Geez.” Shawna sighed. “He came over one night. We spent the night talking and he fell asleep. On the floor.”
“But how did he get in? I know Ms. Swanson wouldn’t allow a boy in after hours.”
“He climbed a tree and went through her window.” Maria said and again turned as if she’d said nothing.
“Tell me everything.” Liz laughed.

~*~

Zan sat in silence as they continued to drive. He sat between the two men that had dragged him into the limo before, and sat across from Jeff Parker.
“So I hear you and my daughter have found each other.” Jeff finally breaks the silence. Zan takes a moment before answering and nods. “Yes, you live in the same building do you not?” Again Zan nods. “And you’ve even been spending the night, yes?”

“Look, Mr. Parker…” Zan spoke but was silenced.
“Just answer this question Alejandro. Have you been intimate with my daughter?” Jeff stared at him. Zan looked at him then at the two men, then he noticed the car had stopped. As he looked out the window he saw they were in an alley. Great.
“Mr. Parker…”
“Just answer the question.”

Zan breathed out, defeated but didn’t answer. He could see Jeff’s face turn red, and signal to the two men. At once, the door was opened and Zan was tossed outside. He landed face down on the concrete and groaned.
“Please leave Mr. Evans with a personal message for me men.” Jeff said from inside the limo. “Let him know what’s in store for him if he continues to pester my daughter.” The door was closed and the two men turned to Zan, cracking their knuckles.
“Great.”
