Part 20

Liz waited nervously for her parents to arrive from the airport. They were due over any minute now and she wasn’t sure what she was going to do or say when they got there.

Max and Isabel had actually left earlier in the day to pick their own parents up from the airport so not only did she finally have to face her parent she had to do it alone. Max said he would get back as quickly as he could but she knew what his mother could be like, especially when she hadn’t seen him in close to six months.

When the knock came at the door she jumped “Shit” she said. Walking to the door she opened it and found her parents waiting on the other side.

“Hi sweetie” her father smiled but when he stepped forward to hug her Liz found herself taking a step back and avoiding it.

“Hi baby” her mother said.

“Hi” she said to both of them.

She walked into the kitchen and they followed her. Placing out the tea and cake she had made for their arrival she joined them at the table and poured some tea into each of their cups and some into her own to calm her nerves..

“Is everything ok, Liz?” her mother finally asked. She had spoken to her dad a couple of times since she had confronted them with the truth but the conversation has been mostly about their plans for coming for graduation. But apparently her mother believed that the whole thing had blown over by now, typical of her mother she thought.

“No it’s not” she said “I think we need to talk” she told them.

Her father reached out and took her hand “I know your upset with us but if you would let us explain we would appreciate it” he said.

Liz nodded. She knew nothing they would say would make up for what they had done but the least she owned them was the chance to hear their side of things before she told them how much she hated them for what they had done. In truth she didn’t know if she was going to be able to get past this. She knew in time she would forgive them but she didn’t think she would ever trust them again.

“Liz you have to understand that when Max came to us and asked for permission to marry you we were a little shocked. We weren’t really aware that the two of you were dating” he said.

“You knew about our relationship” she objected “the reason we never dated seriously in high school was because you wouldn’t allow it” she said unhappily.
“Liz the two of your were barely 18 years old. It was a ridiculous idea and I wont apologise for squashing it” her mother spoke up.

Liz had never had a close relationship with her mother, she had always been cold in comparison to her father and she could never understand why. She had heard Maria and Isabel talk about all the girly chats and shopping trips that they had with their mothers while growing up but none of that ever occurred between Liz and her mother.

“Well I don’t care what you think mother, the fact is that you had no right to make decisions about my life without talking to me about it. For a long time I’ve let you and Dad dictate my life and I’m done” Liz says her voice raising.

“Max and I love each other and what you did was unforgivable. We are responsible adults and always have been. If I wanted to marry Max I should have been able to, at the very least I should have been given the opportunity to decide for myself.”

“What and give up all your dreams?” her mother yelled. The one thing Liz could not understand is why her parents thought it was one or the other her dreams for a successful career or Max. Why did she have to give up her dreams to be with Max?, plenty of people their age were married and happy.

“They were my dreams to give up if that’s what I wanted. Not yours and not Dads, mine, you took the one thing I wanted most in the world away from me” she stood up and yelled at her mother “Do you have any idea what this has done to us?” she asked looking between her mother and father.

“Yes, you have excellent grades will have a promising career and have met a lot of lovely people. You now see that Max Evans isn’t the only boy for you” her mother said.

“No” she roared, “that’s where you’re wrong, he’s still the only person I’ve ever loved and he’s still the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. All you’ve done is put the two of us through hell. He’s kept this from me for four years” she cried.

“Four years where I’ve been miserable without him because he didn’t want to make me choose between you and him, he didn’t want to go against your wishes. Max Evans is the only boy in my world mother and he always has been”

“Oh Liz” Jeff sighed “We thought we were doing the right thing, you were too young to think about marriage and how were we supposed to know that what the two of you had wasn’t just some high school lust” he said.

“You could have asked,” she cried. “You have never cared about what I wanted” she shook her head then. “This is just like Harvard all over again” she cried.

“We just want what’s best for you, Liz” her mother said. “You’ll see that eventually, we’re sorry that things didn’t work out with Max but that’s precisely the reason we did what we did to begin with” she told her.

“Didn’t work out?” Liz looked at her mother. “You think Max and I are going to let you win?” she said then.

The look on her mothers face was enough to make her laugh. “All you’ve done Mum is delay the inevitable and make your only daughter bitter with you”

“Oh god Liz please don’t say that” her father begged “We love you so much sweetie and we might have made a huge mistake but we have always had your best interests at heart. You might not think that you would have regretted it but you would have sweetie” he told her.

“No” Liz shook her head “why do you just assume that I would have had to give up my dreams to be with, Max. No one in my life is as supportive of my dreams as Max. Did you know that he’s willing to follow me to whatever city for whatever job I choose? That he doesn’t care if he has to work for Legal Aid as long as he’s with me.”

“God he’s even willing to move to Europe with me where he might not even be able to practise law because he loves me. He’s the most selfless, sweetest guy in the world and he loves me, he’s wants to spend the rest of his life with me so you tell me how I could have ever regretted something like that” Liz was openly crying now and her parents were sitting at the table with their heads down in shame.

Max had walked into the apartment unnoticed a few minutes earlier but it was long enough for him to catch her speech and he was absolutely astounded in how much faith she had in him. After everything he had put her through she still fought for him and it made him love her even more if possible.

When Liz finally looked up her eyes locked with Max and he smile his brilliant smile at her and she quickly rushed into his waiting arms.

“I love you,” he whispered.

The Parkers watched on in awe at the gentle way Max handled their daughter and the shame they felt from their daughters words only increased.

“Mr Parker, Mrs Parker” Max nodded in their direction.

“Hi Max” they said.

Liz pulled back “Come sit down,” she told him. She gave him a piece of the chocolate cake she made yesterday and he sat and ate it.

“Happy to be graduating?” Jeff Parker asked trying to break the tense silence.

“Yeah” Max replied.

“And have the two of you decided what you’re going to do after graduation?” Nancy Parker finally asked.

Max reached over and took Liz’s hand in a show of support which didn’t go unnoticed by the Parkers “We’ve decided to move to Boston” she answered. It has been a hard decision but in the end they both knew it was the right one.

“Was that your best job offer?” Jeff asked. He was a little disappointed Liz hadn’t confided in him or asked his advice but he realised now his little girl wasn’t so little anymore.

“Not necessarily” Liz admitted.

“Then why are you taking it?” Nancy asked.

“Because it’s a good job offer that comes with a very good salary package and Max got a very good offer from a firm in Boston too” she said.

“Didn’t you just finish telling us that Max was willing to go wherever you picked, so why are you now telling us that you didn’t pick the best job?” Nancy asked angrily.

Liz tensed “Because maybe I don’t want this relationship to just be about me. Maybe I care about Max’s career prospects, Mother,” she snapped.

Max could tell the situation was close to getting out of control again so stepped in. “Mrs Parker the job Liz has taken is an excellent job, the money and hours were a lot better in comparison to some of the others and the opportunity for advancement is promising. Sure there were jobs Liz could have picked that offered her more scientific recognition but that wasn’t important to her” he said.

“I could have gone half way around the world would that have suited you better,” she snapped at her mother causing her to flinch.

“That’s enough Liz,” her father said.

“No it’s not. You can’t come here and challenge my choice and not expect me to be pissed,” she told her father.

“Max has been offered an extraordinary opportunity. We wont have to pay rent and he will make enough money that he’s willing to support me if I want to go back to school and do my doctorate” she said.

“We’re more than happy with the decision we’ve made and you just need to accept that” she said.

“We just want you to be happy, you’ve worked so hard sweetie,” her father said.

“Congratulations, Max obviously you’ve been working very hard too” he acknowledged.

“Thank you” Max said.

“Your father is right” Nancy Parker said, “We only want what’s best for you, Liz” her mother sighed. She wasn’t happy with her daughters decision, she personally believed that Liz was seeling out her dreams to be with Max and that upset her, on the other hand she wasn’t eager for her daughter to go to Europe so she kept her mouth shut.

“Well then trust that I know what that is,” she told them and they both nodded. It was time to accept the fact that Liz was a grown women and she didn’t need them anymore.

Part 21

“So what do you think?” Max asks her as they look over the brochures.

“It’s beautiful,” she tells him.

Max had gone to the travel agent a couple of days earlier and grabbed some brochures for some alternative holiday locations. Neither of them had to start their job till after the summer so they were planning an extended holiday now.

“We could get a round the world ticket?” he offers then. The truth was Liz hadn’t looked as excited about any of the holiday options as she had been when she saw the tickets to Hawaii.

“That’s a great idea” she grins. “I mean we could go for the whole summer, work when we need relax when we want.”

Max nods and smiles he thought it was good idea too and he hoped maybe they could finish they’re holiday in Hawaii.

“The question is can we afford it?” she says then.

“Well we have the tickets and accommodation I’ve already paid for, I have a few thousand in the bank and my parents were going to give me money for a trip away for graduation, with that I’m sure it’s more than enough” he replied.

Liz smiled “don’t forget the few thousand that I have as well” she tells him.

“No, El we don’t need to use your money, this was my treat to you” he shook his head.

“I want to. I mean with the extra money we might not even have to work”

That idea did sound appealing to Max. When they started they’re jobs he knew it would be tough going for a while. They would both be busy and meeting new people but he knew they would be okay if they just remembered what was important.

“Ok, I want to spend as much time with you as I can” he smiled.

Liz laughed “Max we’re moving to Boston together” she laughed.

“El, I wanted to talk to you about that” he said then. Liz frowned immediately she was instantly worried. When someone normally told you they needed to talk to you it was usually about something bad. The decision to move to Boston had been a long and hard one but in the end they had made it together and that was what was important to Liz. Max was honest with her about his job offer and the desire to go and Liz was honest that she didn’t want everything in their relationship to be about what was best for any longer. There are two people in their relationship and they both needed to start acting like it.

“What?” she asked.

Max scratched his ear nervously “I, it’s just that I haven’t asked you to move in with me officially yet so I was wondering if you would?” he asked.

Liz’s frown quickly turned itself up until there was a brilliant smile lighting her entire face up instead.

“I would love to” she smiled “and we are talking about living, living aren’t we?” she asked then.

Max smiled “Well the apartment is only one bedroom” he smiled shyly.

“Oh” Liz smiled.

“So you wont have a problem sharing a bedroom with me will you my beautiful girlfriend?” he teased.

Liz stopped at his words “is that what I am?” she asked shyly.

“What, my girlfriend?” he said.

“Well yeah I mean we sort of haven’t talked about it,” she said nervously.

“Oh” Max flushed “God El, yeah I mean girlfriend is a terrible word for what you really are to me, but yeah I guess that’s if you want to be.” he mumbled.

“Girlfriend” she smiled “I like it, I’ve never been your girlfriend” she reminded him taking a step forward so she was standing in between his legs.

“Well don’t get to used to it,” he laughed.

But Liz took his words completely the wrong way and she immediately began to back away. Max realising immediately that his words had not come out the way he intended them to, grabbed her hands and stopped her.

“That’s not what I meant baby” he said.

“What did you mean?” she asked chewing on her bottom lip.

“Just that I was planning on changing it to fiancée and hopefully wife in the future” he blushed.

“Yeah?” Liz asked huskily.

“Yeah” Max gulped “the sooner the better” he added.

Their lips were inches from each other then “That’s good, I mean girlfriend is nice but fiancée is” her words were cut off by Max’s mouth.

“Fiancée is completely sexy,” he whispered when they pulled apart.

“Love you” Liz whispered.

“Love you too” Max replied before taking her mouth again. He pulled Liz onto his lap and deepened the kiss. His tongue sweeping into her mouth and making love to it they way his body longed to.

Liz returned his kiss with as much passion, her hands finding their way under his shirt where she began caressing his toned chest and all his well-defined muscles.

Max enjoyed the feel of her hands on his body thoroughly he had missed her touch so badly but he made sure he kept himself in check. He didn’t want to overstep the boundaries with Liz yet; he would wait until she was ready.

“Touch me” come her breathy moan.

”Sorry?” Max mumbled against her neck. He was sure he was imagining things he could have sworn she asked him to touch her but that was impossible.

“Touch me please,” she begged reaching down and taking his hand and placing it at the bottom of her shirt in invitation.

Max slowly and tentatively began peeling the shirt up her body and when Liz lifted her hands above her head to help him take it off he sped up. His mouth travelled down her neck and over her collarbone stopping to suck on her pulse point.

“Oh yes” she cried out her hips grinding into Max’s.

Max cupped one of her perfect breasts in his hand while the other kissed the strap off her shoulders. Liz hands left Max’s body as she unclasped her bra and threw it off her body leaving her breasts naked. Max wasted no time taking a nipple into his mouth and sucking on it until it was hard as a little pebble.

“Ah Max” she moaned.

Her hands reached for the hem of Max’s shirt and she quickly drew it up his body and threw it on the floor behind him.

“Beautiful” Max murmured he would never get over how beautiful she was. The honey colour of her skin to the way her eyes closed and her tongue peeked out while she moaned her pleasure. Every single thing about her was beautiful.

He loved her breasts until they were so sensitive that touching them almost made her come.

Liz cupped Max’s very hard erection through his jeans and rubbed it causing Max to close his eyes and throw his head back. When the feel of Liz’s hand disappeared Max slowly opened his eyes and watched as Liz climbed off his lap and stood before him offering her his hand.

“You sure?” he asked. He didn’t want to do anything she wasn’t ready for.

Liz smiled “come with me and I’ll show you how sure I am” she whispered huskily.

Max cupped her ass and lifted her against him making her wrap her legs around him tightly as he walked them to her bedroom.

When they reached the room he lowered her down on the bed slowly before reaching out and playing with the buttons on her jeans.

Liz could tell he was nervous and it almost felt like their first time all over again so she reached her own hands down and began popping the buttons on her jeans. When her hand moved to the waistband Max’s hands stopped her and instead he began to slowly pull her jeans off her body leaving her in only her thong.

Liz hopped up on her knees and made quick work on the button and zip on Max’s jeans and when he was only in a pair of boxers he laid down beside her on the bed.

Their lips came together quickly, Max slanting his mouth overs her sending his tongue deep inside of her mouth. His hand running down the side of her body and over her hip picking up her leg and throwing it over his own. Liz’s breasts rubbed softly against Max’s chest whilst she wiggled herself against his hard length.

“Please baby,” she asked. She liked slow, slow had been good over the past month but now she needed him to take her hard.

Max slipped a finger under her thong and his finger instantly came into contact with her dripping wet core. She had completely soaked her panties and it pleased him that it was him that caused this reaction from her.

“Oh baby” he moaned.

“You like that?” she whispered.

He dipped his long finger into her “Hmm yes, do you?” he asked.

“Y-yes” she moaned as he added another finger. He pumped the two digits inside of her until her breathy cry and the tightening of her walls indicated her release. Max removed his fingers lowly and raised them to his mouth.

Liz moaned as she watched Max lick her juices off his fingers. Her small hand slid inside of his boxers and she took his hard cock into her hand and began to slowly stroke it. Max let her have her way with his body until he couldn’t take it anymore and he placed his hand on hers.

Liz looked up “your driving me crazy baby” he whispered.

“I want you inside me driving me crazy” she whispered back.

She helped Max slip his boxers down his hips before he pulled her thong off.

Liz wrapped her legs around his waist as he slid inside her “Oh yes, Max” she cried out when he filled her.

“I know baby” he groaned, she felt so good “you feel so good, so hot and wet,” he told her.

They moved together like two lovers who had made love their whole lives, Liz lifting her hips and meeting everyone of Max’s strong, deep thrusts.

“Ahh Max, yes baby harder, deeper” Liz cried out, she was so close.

Max pulled all the way out of her before thrusting back into her and after a few more pumps Liz’s walls tightened around his cock bringing him over the edge too.

“Oh Liz baby… yes…. yes” he cried out.

“I love you so much” he whispered as he slumped against her, he felt tears in his eyes that he was here with her that she had just given herself to him again after everything they had been through, he never thought he’d hear her cry his name out in ecstasy again let alone allow him to love her like he just had. “So much” he added.

“And I love you too, so very much” she whispered back “and that was so perfect and beautiful and…” she joined him crying then.

Max lifted his head and reached out and wiped her tears away “it felt like home” he finished for her.

“Home’ she agreed.

TBC......see you in 4 days? a fic a day does that sound ok?

Part 22

Almost two months later

“I cant believe our holiday is almost over” Liz sighed as her and Max made their way to the airport.

After finally deciding on the round the world trip and making all the plans Max and Liz spent a week packing up the apartment they had shared for their four years in university and put it all in storage until they came back to move to Boston.

Over the past two months they had experienced a holiday beyond their imaginations. It had started in Thailand where they had spent a week soaking and tanning themselves on the beach at Phuket, they stayed in a beautiful resort spending hours making love and taking the time to learn each others bodies all over again. For Liz it felt like a complete new start.

Michael, Maria, Alex and Isabel has also joined them for the week and when Max and Liz weren’t spending time in their room they were seeing the sites with their friends and on the final night when the group joined up to have dinner Michael had gotten down on bended knee and asked Maria to marry him.

Maria had been absolutely stunned and for the first time in her relationship with Michael completely speechless but when she finally realised it wasn’t a joke she had accepted.

Max had known that Michael was planning it, he’d gone ring shopping with him just before they had left but even he had been shocked that Michael had done it front of them all

After Thailand they split ways the others were returning to New York and Liz and Max’s next stop was Australia. They spent two weeks there visiting the beautiful beaches and shopping in Sydney and Melbourne which Liz loved, in the end they had so much stuff that Max had to courier home a suitcase full of the stuff they didn’t want or didn’t necessarily need at that moment.

From Australia they flew to Europe where they spent a month backpacking and seeing amazing places like London, Paris and Amsterdam. They took in the beautiful tourist attractions, museums, and churches and eating and drinking the wonderful foods, wines, and coffee the countries had to offer. Being a chocolate and ice cream lover made a lot of the foods to good to refuse at times and Liz swore that she had put on a few pounds even though Max told her that was impossible.

Paris had been a particular favourite of Liz’s and Max swore to her when they had to move on that he would bring her back one day. He secretly hoped that day would be the start of their honeymoon but he hadn’t told Liz that, yet.

But now their holiday was almost over, their last stop was a mystery stop so Liz had no idea where they were going, she also didn’t know that Max had planned it.

He knew his plan might completely back fire of him but things with him and Liz were better then he ever remembered them being. Liz had slowly come to forgive him for which he was eternally grateful for and he wanted to finally stop the postponing and start the moving forward.

So with the ring securely packed Max and Liz boarded their flight to Hawaii.

It was an extremely long flight and Liz enjoyed the sleep she had, when she woke up she felt revived and excited about finding out where they final destination was.

“Ladies and Gentleman we are preparing to land. Please fasten your seatbelt. I hope you have had an enjoyable flight and on behalf of myself and the crew thank you for flying with Virgin Airlines”

“Max” Liz whispered, leaning over to try and wake him up. She had no idea how long he had been asleep but he looked terribly uncomfortable.

“Huh” Max sleepily opened his eyes and turned to the smiling Liz.

“We’re landing” she told him reaching out and pushing his bangs off his forehead.

“Oh ok” he replied sitting up straighter and stretching as best as he could in the cramped space.

“I can’t wait to get off this plane” he mumbled.

“I know what you mean” Liz smiled.

“So” Max smiled “did they tell us where we were?” he asked her.

“No” she shook her head, “maybe we should just ask one of the stewardess’s” she suggested as one rushed by.

They felt the planes descent then and Max reached out and took Liz’s hand, she didn’t like flying that much and landing was always the worse for her.

When the plane finally touched down and came to a stop Liz let the breath she was holding out “Thank you” she told him.

“Welcome babe” he told her giving her a soft kiss.

Max grabbed their carry on luggage and followed Liz off the plane, if his calculations were correct it would be close to five o’clock by now. They walked down the stairs of the plane and Max was busy looking around that he didn’t realise that Liz had stopped in front of him and he almost ran into her.

“Liz, what…” he was about to ask her until she turned around looking at him with wide eyes.

“Hawaii?” she gasped.

Max grinned at her before reaching up and scratching his ear, he figured he could tell her the truth right now or keep pretending he was as surprised as she was.

“Yeah” he whispered.

Liz’s smile was brilliant and before Max knew it she was grabbing his hand and pulling him down the stairs until they were in front of the aloha girls “Aloha, welcome to the Hawaiian Islands” they said before leaning up and placing a lay of beautiful exotic flowers around their necks.

“Thank you” they both replied.

The resort Max had booked them into was extremely fancy but he had decided that the splurge was worth it considering the significance of the holiday, of course Liz didn’t know that yet.

“Oh my god this place is amazing” she said.

“Yeah it is” Max agreed as he put down the bags he was carrying down and took his small girlfriend into his arms.

“Lets test out the shower then the bed” he suggested huskily against her ear.

“Hmm sounds great” Liz agreed leaning up and kissing him softly. The kiss quickly got hungrier as their mouths and tongues made love to each other.

Max started walking them backwards towards the bed without breaking away from her, when he felt the bed against the back of his thighs he slowly began falling down on it, taking Liz with him until she was lying on top of him.

“Bed first?” she asked against his lips before her mouth moved down this throat her fingers working at getting his shirt over his head.

“Definitely” Max agreed, he needed her so badly right now.

They removed each others clothing until they were both completely naked and Liz lowered herself slowly down on Max’s cock.

“Yes” they both hissed.

Liz rocked gently against Max her eyes locked on his their hands entwined as he helped her move up and down him slowly.

“Oh yes, Max” she moaned.

“I know baby, you feel so good” he told her.

His hands went to her hips then and he began moving her up and down him more quickly.

“God I love you” he told her.

“Me too” she moaned, her release was close she could feel it but she couldn’t quite grab on to it.

Max, who knew Liz’s body so well now reached between them and began rubbing her clit slowly he felt her walls contract before she threw her head back and cried out his name and when she finished she collapsed against his sweaty chest.

Max gave her a few minutes to calm down before he expertly flipped them over and continued pounding into her trying to find his own completion. He wanted it to last forever he loved being able to love Liz so freely.

“Come for me baby” she begged him.

Her words and the feel of her small hand cupping his balls was all it took for Max to fall and with a few last pumps he cried out Liz’s name in love, and ecstasy before falling on top her.

***

The next day after a late breakfast they decided to go scuba diving. Although they both loved Europe they couldn’t deny that they had missed the beautiful beaches.
They spent the entire day swimming and lazing before retuning to their room late in the afternoon.

“Did you have a nice day, beautiful?” Max asked as he emerged all wet from his shower.

“I did it was wonderful” Liz replied her eyes roaming over the hard muscles of his toned chest.

“Well it’s not over yet” he smirked he loved the way she was checking him out.

“Really?” her eyes snapped up to his in surprise.

“Nope” he shook his head “so get dressed” he said.

He had organised for the kitchen to make him up a picnic basket with all of Liz’s favourite foods and with a blanket and cd player he was going to take her to the beach to watch the beautiful sunset.

Twenty minutes later dressed in a beautiful white slinky dress and sandals Liz was ready. “Gorgeous” Max breathed when he saw her.

“Thank you, you look very nice yourself” she replied, he had on a pair of denim three quarter shorts and a white shirt which had most of the buttons still undone.

“Come on” he said holding his hand out to her and leading her out the balcony doors and onto the beach in front of them.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

Max didn’t answer her he just continued to lead her a small way up the beach which was a little more private until they came to the area he had set up.

“A picnic?” she grinned.

“Yep” Max smiled. He sat down on the blanket before pulling her into his arms where they sat and enjoyed the beautiful early evening together. Eventually Max pulled out the feast he had arranged for them and they began eating it.

“I can’t believe you went to so much trouble” Liz said look at all the wonderful food they had just devoured including the strawberries and cream.

“You deserve it” he smiled at her.

The sun was beginning to set now so Max hopped up and walked over to the CD player and turned it on before walking back over to Liz and offering her his hand.

“Dance with me?” he asked.

“I’d love to” Liz grinned
Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line.
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
They moved together slowly, two perfect pieces of a puzzle. It was hard to tell where one stopped and the other started.
“Love you” Liz whispered against Max’s chest.

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
“I love you too” Max replied “It feels like I’ve been in love with you forever” he added causing Liz to smile against his chest.

You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

All about lovin' you
They slowed to a stop when the song stopped both turning their faces to watch the last of the sunset begin to disappear.
“It’s so beautiful” Liz murmured.
“Perfect” Max agreed turning his eyes to Liz.
Max pulled back slightly then and reached into his pocket before he slowly started to slide down onto one knee. Liz turned her face back to him slowly and her mouth opened in shock when she saw what he was doing.
“Max, what are you…” she began to ask him.
“Shh” Max smiled placing his hand over her lips.
“I love you Elizabeth Parker you are my first thought when I wake up in the morning and my last when I close my eyes every night. Your beautiful and true and I know to the very depths of my heart and soul that I’m only going to love you more every day for the rest of my life.”
He paused then to open the lid of the box he held in his hand revealing the most beautiful ring Liz had ever seen, and more importantly it was her ring.
“I bought this for you four years ago and instead of begging you to be mine forever I made the biggest mistake of my life and let you go. I don’t ever want to be without you again, you are and always have been my forever.
El, will you marry me?” he whispered.
Liz slowly slid down on her knees until she was kneeling in front of Max and reached her hands up to cup his face and using the pads of her fingers to wipe the tears that were falling down his face.

“Your already my forever” she whispered “I love you so much, do you realise that?” she asked him to which Max quickly nodded.

Their lips joined together gently then and both Liz and Max could taste the salt of the others tears. “I can’t wait to start forever” she whispered.

“Is that a yes?” Max asked her hopefully.

“It’s a hell yes” she grinned while nodding her head.

Quickly pulling the ring out of it’s box Max slid the ring onto Liz’s finger and left a kiss on it before turning back to her with the biggest grin she had ever seen.

“You said something about fiancée being sexy right?” she grinned playfully.

Max laughed “very sexy” he agreed before leaning in and taking her mouth “let me show you how sexy I think you are” he told her.

Part 23

The rest of their stay in Hawaii was as beautiful as the start, they spent plenty of time swimming and relaxing but most of their time was spent in their room. Neither of them wanted the week to ever end but real life waited for them in Boston. They were flying to Roswell briefly to see both sets of parents before continuing on to New York where they would drive most of their staff too Boston.

“I cant believe it’s over already” Max said.

“I know, but it’s been the best experience of my life” she smiled looking down at the stunning ring on her finger. She still couldn’t believe that she was his fiancée, that eventually they were going to get married and get the happily ever after she had always dreamed of.

“Really?” Max asked.

“Yep” she replied leaning forward in her seat to give him a kiss. They were already halfway through their flight to Roswell.

“So which set of parents do you want to tell first?” Max finally asked the question. Since they had gotten engaged they hadn’t told anyone, they hadn’t been in contact with any family or friends since their first night in Hawaii and had decided afterwards that they would wait until they saw them in person to tell them their happy news. They both knew that their friends would be over the moon for them, Maria would start planning a double wedding or something like that, but they would all be stoked for them. It was Liz’s parents that they weren’t sure about.

Max had confided in Liz that this time he hadn’t even approached her parents about asking her to marry him, knowing she wouldn’t want that and that this time he wasn’t willing to listen to them tell him no if that’s what they turned out saying.

“I think we should start with yours” Liz sighed. The Evan’s had always accepted their relationship without any problems so Liz knew they would be happy for them and offer to do whatever they could. So far Max and Liz had decided to hold off for a while until they got married. Since they were both starting new jobs they knew they would be too busy to plan a wedding.

“Ok” Max smiled. They were only staying in Roswell overnight so their parents couldn’t cause too much grief in that time.

“But we have to face your parents eventually” he told her.

“I know” she sighed taking his welcoming hand in her own.

***

It came as a surprise to both Max and Liz when they found Isabel and Alex waiting for them at the airport.

“Oh my god what are you doing here?” Liz cried as she rushed into Alex’s arms while Max hugged his sister.

“We all decided to come to Roswell for the week” Isabel explained.

“Michael and Maria are here too?” Liz asked excitedly.

“Yeah they’re staying at Maria’s” Alex replied.

“Oh let’s go there first” Liz said exchanging looks with Max. They had both wanted to tell their friends first but knew that was going to be hard since they were coming to Roswell first.

“Ok, Maria planned on meeting with you at the Crashdown anyhow” they laughed.

An hour later after chatting with Isabel and Alex about their holiday in the car and Liz biting her tongue so she didn’t spill their wonderful news they pulled up in front of the Deluca’s. They had called Maria to tell them they would meet up with them their when they left the airport so it wasn’t surprising when they saw Maria come running out of the house when the car pulled up.

“Oh Lizzie I missed you” she said.

“Me too” Liz smiled.

“Let the girl breath, Blondie” Michael joked.

“So how was the holiday?” Maria asked them when they finally made it inside the house, her mum was working so it was just them.

“Fantastic, wonderful” Max grinned.

“Had the time of my life” Liz sighed sinking back into Max’s arms.

Their friends smiled at them, they looked so happy and so in love. That’s when Isabel caught the sight of the ring on Liz’s fingers.

“Elizabeth Parker what the hell is that?” she demanded pointing at her hand.

Liz grinned “That would be my engagement ring” she answered.

“Your what?” Maria screamed.

Michael and Alex covered their ears while Liz and Max laughed.

“it’s an engagement ring, you know what that is Maria it hasn’t been that long since you got yours” Max joked.

The girls rushed forward then and started grabbing at Liz’s hand.

“Is this the same one?” Isabel asked Max referring to the ring she had seen, Max nodded.

“It’s beautiful” they all agreed.

“Yeah it’s perfect” Liz smiled sappily before turning and sharing a sweet kiss with Max which made Michael groan.

“Congratulations guys but please stop with the PDA’s” he said.

Liz laughed “Nope” she shook her head.

“I’m so happy for you guys” a teary Isabel hugged her brother and best friend. “You two deserve it” she told them.

“So when are you going to tell the parentals?” Alex turned the conversation serious.

“Tonight” Max answered.

“You don’t look happy about it, Liz” Maria commented.

“I’m dreading it, who knows how my parents will react”

“It doesn’t matter, sweetie” Max soothed.

They caught up on what was happening with each others lives, briefly discussed Maria and Michael’s plans to get married before Isabel dropped Max and Liz at the Crashdown. They had decided to call Max’s parents and ask them to meet them at the Crashdown so they could tell both sets of parents together. Liz hoped the Evan’s would be happy and that it might rub off on her parents.

***

Both sets of parents were waiting for them in the now closed Crashdown once they got there.

“You’re here” Dianne Evans smiled and hopped up to rush towards her son.

“Hey” they greeted.

Liz walked towards her father and mother and gave them both a hug too.

“How was the holiday?” Jeff asked his daughter.

“Amazing” Liz sighed.

Max walked up behind Liz and wrapped his arms around her then “Thanks for meeting us here” he said to both sets of parents.

“Not problem, was there a particular reason?” Philip asked his son. He had a lot of time for Liz she had been such a good influence on Max over the years and was happy to find out that they would be going to Boston together. He didn’t really know what had happened that had stopped them from dating all these years but he was happy that they were now together.

“We wanted to tell you something” Liz smiled.

“Oh ok, why don’t you sit down” Jeff replied.

“No it’s ok we’ve been sitting for hours” Max informed them and they remained standing in each others embrace.

“Last week I asked Liz to marry me and she accepted” Max told the four parents.

Dianne and Philip looked at Max shocked “We’re getting married” Liz confirmed with a huge smile.

“Oh congratulations” Dianne shrieked standing up and pulling them both into her arms. Philip was next, kissing Liz’s cheek and slapping his son on the back, they were so glad that they were getting such a wonderful daughter in law.

“Mum, Dad?” Liz turned to her parents then. Her father had tears in his eyes but there was a small smile there.

“I’m so happy for you honey” he told her before standing up and hugging her. When he pulled away and turned to Max offering his hand “Welcome to the family” he smiled.

“Thanks Mr. Parker” Max grinned back, he was so relieved for Liz that her father was happy for them.

“It’s Jeff, Max” he told him.

“Wow my baby girl is getting married” Nancy whispered from her seat in the booth.

“Yeah” Liz replied biting her lower lip and waiting for her mother to finally say something else.

“This isn’t what I wanted for you Liz but I can see you’ve already made your decision so I’ll accept it” she said.

No hug, no congratulations, nothing. Liz could feel the tears beginning to form in her eyes.

“We’re both really happy” she said.

Nancy nodded and then quickly standing up she took her daughter into her arms “That’s all I’ve ever wanted honey” she whispered.

When they pulled apart Nancy smiled at Max “Look after her, Max” she told him

“Of course Mrs. Parker, I love her” Max told her. He knew the truth about his feelings didn’t make a difference to Nancy Parker but for the first time in years he actually saw a glimpse of the women that was Liz’s mother. There was an underlying hurt in her eyes something he suspected that even Liz hadn’t realized and knew that Nancy’s insistence that Liz not marry him was not about him or Liz, it was about her.

“so any idea when you would like to get married?” Dianne asked them then.

“We thought we would hold for a little while until we get settled in Boston” Max informed his mother.

“Oh you want to get married in Boston?” Nancy asked confused.

“No we will get married here in Roswell we just realise that with both of us starting new jobs we wont really have the time for a little while to plan a wedding” Liz explained.

“well honey your mother and I can take care of that” Dianne suggested.

Liz bit her bottom lip in thought and shared a look with Max that to her parents didn’t mean anything but to Max and Liz it meant a thousand words.

“Are you sure?” Liz asked. She really wanted to marry Max soon, she didn’t want to wait any longer.

“Of course” her mother said excitedly.

“Well I’d really like a Christmas wedding what do you think, Max?” Liz turned to her fiancée.

“It sounds perfect, sweetie. Whatever you want” he told her placing a chaste kiss on the top of her head.

“Well looks like it’s Christmas” Philip grinned.

“Yes” Max and Liz smiled. They were getting married!!

Part 24

Liz and Max spent their first night apart in two months that night when Liz stayed in her old room above the Crashdown and Max stayed at his parents house.

Liz was busy sorting through her suitcase looking for her toiletries and pajamas that she didn’t notice her mother was standing in the doorframe watching her.

Nancy smiled she watched her daughter unpacking, it had been a while since she had been home and Nancy was happy to have her here even if it was only for one night. She knew that she had hurt Liz lately but Liz was her little girl and it was her role to protect her daughter, she wanted Liz to have everything in life she had ever wanted.

“Mum?” Liz questioned when she turned around and saw her mother staring at her.

“I’m sorry sweetie” she apologized for staring and walked into the room. She took a seat on the bed next to Liz’s “Can we talk?” she asked. It was time to tell her daughter the truth and maybe then she would understand why Nancy had been so hard on her and Max over the years.

“Ok” Liz agreed taking a seat next to her mother.

“I know you think I’m not happy for your sweetheart but I am” she told her reaching out to take her daughters hand “I just wish so much for you Liz, I want you to have all your dreams and everything you could ever want”

“I do, mum” Liz told her “I love Max with everything that I am but I don’t have to choose with Max I can have everything I want”

“That’s good sweetie” her mother said wiping the tears from her face.

“Mum?” Liz questioned.

“When I was 16, Liz I met a boy and much like you with Max I fell madly in love with him” she admitted.

Liz was a little surprised she had never heard her mother talk about anyone but her father and she knew they hadn’t met that young.

“I was a naïve girl Liz, I thought he was the love of my life that we would be together forever which is why I jumped heard first into a relationship with him. I always wanted to go to college and become a nurse or even a teacher and I had pretty good grades that I could have pulled it off until I met him.”

“What happened?” Liz asked.

“I spent so much time trying to be the person he wanted me to be that my grades dropped, he was older than me, a senior so I assumed that when he left on his football scholarship he would take me with him” she cried.

“He left you didn’t he?” Liz was shocked.

“Yes and by that stage it was too late. My grades were so bad I barely passed my junior year and then I found out I was pregnant”

Liz gasped, did she have a sister or brother out there that she didn’t know about?

“A-A Baby?”

“I lost the baby a few months later” she cried.

“Oh mum” Liz cried leaning over and hugging her mother as she cried, it was obvious that it still hurt her mother a lot to talk about this and Liz wondered if she had ever told her father about any of this.

“I’m sorry honey” Her mother pulled back wiping her eyes. “I didn’t just loose a child Liz I almost lost the ability to have more, you are a miracle to me and your father and I thank god everyday for giving you to us” she admitted.

Liz had already been aware of her mothers inability to have more children after her, she knew they had tried they just never had been able to conceive again and after years of trying decided to just be happy with their beautiful daughter. She knew it was why they always pushed her so hard, all her other friends had brothers or sisters to share the expectations with, Liz bore them alone.

“What I did to you was wrong Lizzie but when Max came and asked to marry you I was jealous, Liz. I was jealous that your sweetheart wanted to take you with him when mine didn’t, but I also didn’t want you to give up your dreams because of it”

“Mum, Max never would have expected me to do that” she soothed.

“I know that now” she sighed “I was so selfish Liz, do you think you could ever forgive me?”

“Yeah” Liz smiled “as long as your promise to stop, I need to make my own mistakes good and bad” she told her.

“I know honey but no mother wants to see her children hurting” she told her.

“You are happy with Dad aren’t you mum?” she asked.

Nancy smiled at her daughters question “Yes, happier than I ever dreamed Liz. I never knew what real love was until I met your father Liz, he has made me very happy and he gave me you” she sighed.

“I’m glad, and that’s how I feel about Max”

“That’s good sweetie” Nancy told her daughter. “I’ll leave you to get ready for bed” she said then standing up.

“Mum” Liz called out and stopped her mother just as she reached the door “thanks for telling me” she whispered.

Nancy smiled “your welcome”

For the first time in her entire life Liz felt close to her mother and at least now she could try to understand why her mother always pushed her so hard. It wasn’t because she wasn’t good enough it was because her mother simply loved her that much.

***

Max sighed and looked at the clock again, it was 11pm and he couldn’t sleep because Liz’s wasn’t by his side. He picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

“Hello” her voice answered huskily.

“Hey yourself beautiful” he grinned into the phone.

“What’s up?” she asked playfully.

Max look down at the tent in his boxers, he was missing her like crazy.

“A lot actually” he whispered.

“Max” she groans.

“I’m sorry El I’m just lying here and missing you like crazy” he tells her.

“Really?” she grins.

“Really” I sigh.

“Well you know I still have a ladder outside my balcony” she whispers huskily.

“I always wanted to climb that ladder and crawl through your window and into your bed” he tells her.

“Good to know”

“Yeah?”

“Uh huh and do you want to know something about me?”

“Spill it El”

“I’ve been finding this dessert heat too much to take so I think I’ll sleep naked tonight” he groans at her words.

“Leave your window open and lock your door” he demands.

“Hurry” she sighs.

***

Max climbed up Liz’s balcony ladder like an expert, he couldn’t remember how many times he had made the climb before. He and Liz had spent a lot of time on her balcony when they lived in Roswell.

He began pulling at his clothes the minute his feet hit the balcony floor and made his way to her window which was wide open and waiting for him.

He could see her naked body lying on the bed covered in moonlight “Took you long enough” she whispered.

“I hope you didn’t start without me” he replied pulling the last of his clothes, his workout shorts down his muscular legs.

Liz eyed his body from head to toe, her eyes lingering on his massive cock which was standing to attention.

She crawled towards him on all fours until her mouth was level with his organ and she took him in her mouth. She had to have him, she needed to taste him so badly.

“Oh god” he groaned.

“Shh” she whispered against his cock.

Liz allowed Max to set the rhythm when he began thrusting himself in and our of her, fucking her mouth until he couldn’t take it anymore and erupted in her mouth. Liz swallowed it all eagerly and then licked his cock clean when he was done.

Max reached down and captured her mouth immediately, he could taste himself on her tongue and it only served to make him want her more and his cock instantly began to harden all over again. Liz pulled him towards her until he was lying on top of her on the bed.

“I missed you” he whispered against her neck where he trailed kisses until he reached her breasts. He caressed and sucked on her breasts until she was writhing under him begging him fore more.

“Please” she whispered.

“Can you be quiet?” he grinned.

“You’ll just have to make sure I do” she replied.

Their mouths crashed together again eagerly as Max guided himself to her waiting heat. She was wet and waiting for him as he slid inside of her easily “Yes” she moaned.

Max’s thrusts were hard and long and Liz wrapped her legs around his waist and met him eagerly.

“So good baby” he groaned as her walls engulfed him.

“More” she begged and Max instantly picked up his pace. Their sweat covered bodies glided against each other and the only sound in the room that could be heard was the springs on the bed squeaking with every thrust of Max’s body, Max was sure that Liz’s father would barge in any second and attack him.

“Oh Max… ah” she moaned loudly. Max sealed his mouth over in an effort to muffle her moans as she got louder and with one final thrust Max erupted inside of her fiercely.

They continued to kiss slowly and lovingly as they came down from their high.

“Love you” Max told her when they broke apart.

“Love you too” Liz grinned. Max rolled off her until he was on his back taking her with him.

“You just made one of my biggest fantasies come true” he whispered in the darkness.

“Yeah?” Liz asked.

“Uh huh the only thing that was missing was the aqua uniform that I want to rip off your body” he laughed.

Liz chuckled with him “Well I might have to see what I can do about getting my hands on one of those” she told him.

“Oh god” Max groaned.

Part 25

“Well this is it” Max told her as they pulled the jeep up in front of the apartment complex. They had arrived in Boston late the night before and had checked into a motel knowing they needed a good nights sleep so they could be up early to meet the moving van.

“You got the keys?” Liz asked him.

“Yep so lets go check it out” he grinned. Even though him and Liz had lived together for the past four years this was very exciting because this was the first time they would live together as a couple, as an engaged couple in fact.

The apartment was fairly roomy to their surprise “Wow, this is a lot bigger than I expected” Liz said shocked.

The kitchen was twice the size of the one in their apartment in New York and so was the bedroom. When Max had told her his firm was offering him an apartment as part of his package she had assumed it would be a shoebox but it was anything but that.

The bathroom was off the bedroom and was done in black and white with a nice tub and on the other side of the bathroom was a much smaller room with built in shelves and Liz assumed it was an office.

“What do you think?” Max asked Liz nervously he knew if Liz didn’t like it that they would tell the firm no thank you and find there own place.

“I love it” she grinned.

“Good” he told her leaning in to kiss her. Liz threw her arms around his neck and was about to deepen the kiss when there was a knock on the still open door.

“Evans” the man said.

“Yeah that’s me” Max told them.

“We have your stuff” he informed him, “We’ll start brining it up so just tell us where you want it” he said.

They spent the next two hours telling the removers where to put their furniture. They knew some of it wasn’t going to fit when they left New York, like Max’s bed. They decided they would bring Liz’s with them since it was newer and a Queen size, Michael and Maria had ended up taking the other bed as a spare.

They sunk down onto the couch after everything had finally been brought in “It looks smaller now” Max laughed.

“Hmm your right but it feels more homey now that all of our stuff is inside” Liz told him.

Max smiled and turned to her “This is our first home” he whispered.

The realization dawned on Liz as well, the apartment in New York had always just been an apartment but this time around it was a home “Your right” she grinned back.

“I love you” Max told her pulling her closer to him.

“I love you too” she replied.

***

“Liz” Max cried out from the bathroom, he had been standing in front of the mirror trying to tie his tie properly but he wasn’t having any luck.

Liz laughed at the frown of frustration on his face as she entered the bathroom. He was dressed in a black pinstripe suit which they had purchased early that week and underneath he had a crisp maroon shirt with a matching tie.

She maneuvered herself until she was sitting on the vanity in front of him and began retying his tie for him and straightening it out “There you go” she smiled “Now you look very professional”

“So I look ok?” he asked concerned. It was his first day of work and he was worried about making a good impression.

“You look sexy as hell” she grinned playfully.

Max looked at the clock “You better get ready if you want me to drop you off on my way, we don’t want to be late on our first day”

Liz had already done her hair and make up she just needed to put her clothes on “Ok I’m hurrying” she told him moving back into the bedroom.

Liz’s work was only a block away from where Max worked and since they had a private car park they would be able to take the jeep to work rather than relying on public transport, something they were both very grateful about considering the weather in Boston during winter.

20 minutes later Max had dropped Liz off out the front of Rydock and was in the lift on his way up to meet the his supervisor at Cunningham, Smith & Williams.

He introduced himself to the secretary at the front desk and she directed him to Mr. Williams office.

“Max” the older man smiled when he entered “good to see you, how’s the apartment?” he asked. He was an older man and Max guessed he would be the same age as his father.

“Wonderful” Max smiled. “We love it” he told him

“Good” he nodded. “and how is that lovely girlfriend of yours?” he asked. Max had spoken to the man on a number of occasions since they had offered him the job.

“Actually she’s my fiancée now” he beamed “but she’s wonderful starting her first day at Rydock also” he informed him.

“Impressive” Mr. Williams smiled “I can’t wait to meet her”

Max nodded “Ok now down to business”

***

Across town Liz was meeting her own boss Dr Jefferson.

“I can’t tell you how happy we were that you accepted our offer, Elizabeth” he told her.

“Oh no thank you so much for considering me” Liz replied “and it’s Liz” she told him.

“Ok, well Liz I’m going to leave you with Harrison for the time being , he was part of our graduate program last year and he’s done very well during his time with us, he’ll show you the ropes around here and help you until you feel ready to work on your own.” He explained.

Liz walked into the room and saw the youngish blonde man working away diligently on an experiment. The room was large and had two desks and computers on the other side of the lab areas.

“Harrison this is Liz Parker” Dr Jefferson introduced. The man put down his experiment and took off his safety glasses allowing Liz to see his vivid green eyes.

“Hi” he smiled showing his perfect white teeth and offering Liz his hand.

“Hi” Liz smiled back.

“Harrison, I will leave Liz in your capable hands” Dr Jefferson smiled and made his way out of the room.

“Well welcome to Rydock, Liz I’ve heard some wonderful things about you” he told her.

“Thank you” Liz blushed “I just hope I can live up to everyone’s expectations” she admitted.

“With your grades I have no doubt” he assured her. For a moment Liz was slightly uncomfortable with out much her colleague knew about her.

“I had a look at your file” he answered her silent question but his answer only peaked Liz’s curiosity because she wondered what else was in that file.

“what’s in the file?” she asked.

“Hmm” he chuckled.

“Elizabeth Claudia Parker, age 24, single, from Roswell New Mexico, graduate NYU Molecular Biology” he rattled off. “there’s some other boring stuff too” she shrugged.

“Hmm ok” she frowned.

“Ok well you’ve just had the tour so let me show you your desk and then you can help me with this experiment” he suggested.

“Sure” she smiled.

***

“So this is your office” Mr. Williams showed him the small corner office which had a small view of the road.

Max nodded “and Tammy outside will be your secretary, you have to share her with Sarah but I don’t think that will cause he any problems” he continued.

“Sarah?” Max asked.

“Oh Sarah is my daughter, come with me and I’ll introduce you to both her and Tammy” he replied.

They walked next door and into the office where a women maybe a couple of years older than Max with red hair sat.

“Sarah, I want to introduce you to Max Evans” he said.

“Hi Max” she smiled and stood up, she was a short women Max guessed she was probably even shorter than Liz. Her smile was warm and inviting and Max smiled back easily.

“Nice to meet you” he said.

“You too and don’t hesitate to stop by anytime if you need anything” she encouraged.

“thanks” he replied.

The day went by quickly after that for both Max and Liz and before either knew it, it was almost half past five.

“How was your day?” Max asked Liz when he picked her up from work.

“Interesting” she told him “too soon to tell”

“You?” she asked.

“Good I think I’m really going to like it there” he told her.

“I’m glad” Liz smiled the thing was she didn’t know if she would be able to say the same.

Part 26

Three Months Later

Liz busied herself with all the details of the wedding her mother and Dianne had been sending for her to go through as she waited for Max to get home from work. She loved how he was loving his new job and only wished that she could be as happy with her own job.

The truth was it wasn’t so much that she wasn’t enjoying the work she was doing at Rydock it was working with Harrison that she didn’t care for, the guys was a self centered arrogant pig who thought he was gods gift to the world and she’d had enough.

She sighed as she looked at the clock again, it was only seven and she knew Max was on his way home bringing Chinese with him.

knock knock

Liz jumped up from the lounge quickly and rushed to the door, assuming it was Max.

“Hey babe” she smiled when she pulled open the door, except it wasn’t Max’s amber eyes staring back at her it was green eyes.

“Hi yourself” he grinned back at her.

“Harrison” she frowned “What are you doing here?” she asked.

She had a million questions running through her head, why he was here?, how he knew where she lived?. The most frustrating thing about Harrison was that he seemed oblivious to how much Liz disliked him.

He held up a copy of Bridget Jones Diary 2 and a bag which appeared to contain Chinese food “Well I was sitting at work and I realized it was Friday night and you were most likely alone in a new city where you didn’t know anyone, so here I am” he grinned.

Liz’s frown deepened “How did you find out where I live?” she asked him.

“Oh it’s in your file, nice place by the way I’m surprised you can afford something like this on a first year salary” he commented.

“I don’t think Dr Jefferson intended on you using information on my file for this purpose when he gave it to you” she snapped annoyed. How dare they think they could keep a file on her life and hand it out to every tom, dick and harry giving them access to her private information.

Harrison’s smile faded slightly then “Um probably not but it’s not a big deal, right?” he asked.

When Liz didn’t answer he continued on “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” he asked.

“Well even though I’m not particularly happy that you got my address from my personal file I do appreciate the gesture” she explained “But I already have plans tonight”

Harrison laughed a little “You don’t have to be embarrassed and make up stories, Liz I’m going to like you regardless” he replied.

“No I’m serious” she told him.

Harrison frowned then “What’s your problem, Liz I mean I knew you were shy but I didn’t think you would be this frigid”

Liz didn’t even think she just reacted, her hand coming out and slapping him hard across the face.

Harrison’s face looked shock for a second but the look of shock quickly turned to one of anger his hand reaching out and grabbing Liz’s hair roughly and pulling her towards him.

“You better apologize” he roared.

“No you better” an angry voice startled him from behind.

Liz sighed in relief when she saw Max standing behind Harrison, she could tell from the wild look in his eyes that he was mad as hell and it was all directed at the man who dared put his hands on her.

“Fuck off and mind your own business” Harrison grunted pushing Liz further into the apartment and following her in.

“Get your hands off her now” Max warned following him, this time he dropped his briefcase and the bag of Chinese on the floor.

“Max” Liz whimpered.

Harrison slowly let Liz go when he saw the look in Max’s eye and Liz say his name acknowledging the fact that she knew him.

“Who the fuck are you?” he asked Max.

“her fiancée and I swear to god your going to regret the day you touched her” Max spat right before his fist connected with Harrison’s jaw and sending him flying onto the floor.

“Shit” he groaned.

Max rushed to Liz and looked her over “Did he hurt you baby?” he asked her.

“No he didn’t get the chance thank god” she whispered.

“Who is he?” he asked her.

“Harrison Watson” she answered.

Max frowned “The guy you work with?” he asked.

“No the guy I worked with” she corrected him she turned to Harrison who was still lying on the ground then “because somehow I don’t think he’ll have a job after Rydock finds out he used my personal file to come to my home and assault me” he spat.

“I didn’t know you had a fiancée your file said you were single” he grunted as he pulled himself up off the floor.

“That’s not the point” Max yelled at him “you had no right to come to our home and put your hands on her”

“She hit me first” he argued.

Max’s anger was growing by the second “I suggest you leave before I hit you again” he warned.

“I’m going” he snapped making his way to the door.

“Go near her again and you’ll be sorry” Max told him slamming and locking the door in his face.

The moment Max pulled her into his arms Liz completely broke down.

“it’s ok now baby” he whispered “I’m here” he soothed as he rubbed her back. Her sobbing continued for close to ten minutes and Max just continued to hold her the entire time until she pulled back.

“I was so scared” she admitted.

“Oh god baby I know, I’m so sorry I wasn’t here I should have left work earlier” he cried with her.

“No it’s not your fault” she shook her head.

An hour later they sat cross legged on the lounge eating the reheated Chinese food that Max had brought home with him.

“I’m going to come with you on Monday” he said.

“Thank you” she smiled.

“If they don’t fire him I want you to resign” he told her then.

Liz nodded surprising Max “I already decided that” she admitted “the reason I haven’t been liking work too much is because of him anyway”

Max frowned he knew she wasn’t happy with work but she hadn’t said that much about it “How come you didn’t tell me?” he asked.

“I didn’t want to spoil your fun” she told him “you love your job and I didn’t want you to worry a bout me”

“But I do” he smiled “I love you and we’re a team now so if your not happy for some reason I want you to tell me about it, I want to hear about it”

“I know” she smiled “and it just makes me love you more”

“I love you too baby” he whispered leaning in and kissing her gently. “if you want to quit and do something else then I will support you anyway that I can”

“thank you” she smiled.

“Now I would love you to help me with all these wedding plans” she laughed gesturing to the pile of things they needed to sort through.

“You got it” he smiled.

***

Liz and Max waited to see the Dr Jefferson early on Monday morning. After spending a quiet weekend together planning their wedding and making love they were ready to face this meeting.

“Liz, this is a surprise” Dr Jefferson said when he invited them in.

“Good morning, Dr Jefferson I’d like you to meet my fiancé Max Evans” she introduced.

“Nice to meet you” he said. “What can I do for the two of you?” he asked.

“Well actually I’m afraid I come under difficult circumstances” she started.

“Oh” he frowned.

“Yes, I guess the best place to start would be to tell you that I haven’t been particularly happy since I started working here, most of that problem is working directly with Harrison” she told him.

Dr Jefferson frowned “go on” he told her.

“On Friday night Harrison showed up to my home uninvited. When I asked him where he got my address he informed me he obtained the information from my personal file which he was given access to when I first started working here. Initially it didn’t make me very comfortable that he had all this personal information about me but when he showed up on Friday night I was extremely angry” she told him.

“I believe I’m entitled to my privacy and being harassed by Harrison at my home is unacceptable”

“Harassed?” he questioned.

“Dr Jefferson, I caught Harrison man handling Liz and I have no idea what he would have done to her if I hadn’t come home when I did” Max injected.

The mans faced paled “Man handled”

“Yeah assault, Dr Jefferson and I don’t believe that Liz should have to continue to work with a man that would not only invade our privacy but do those sorts of things when he did. I also don’t believe your company should be condoning such behavior under the circumstances” he added.

“What circumstances would they be?” he enquired.

“That Harrison obtained all this personal information about Liz and her address from records you allowed him open access to, I have to question what other staff members have full access to this information”

Dr Jefferson shook his head “Liz, I assure you your privacy is of the utmost importance to us how can we fix this situation?”

“By getting rid of Harrison” she answered.

Dr Jefferson sighed “I don’t know how I can do that, nothing he did has anything to do with work”

“He got the information of Liz’s personal life and address from you” Max said his voice raising slightly.

“Let me put it straight for you Dr Jefferson, it’s either me or Harrison” she told him.

Dr Jefferson sits stunned for a few minutes “Obviously there are people I need to talk to about this, why don’t you have the day off and I’ll talk to you this time tomorrow” she suggested.

Liz and Max both nod and get up and leave the office.

“So what are you going to do with your day off?” Max asks.

Liz sighs “I don’t know” she says.

Reaching for his wallet Max pulls out his credit card and hands it too her. “Come to work with me and meet Sarah and Tammy and then go shopping and I’ll meet you for lunch” he grins.

“No I can’t take your card” she shakes her head.

Max laughs “Oh course you can baby, go splurge, buy stuff for the wedding we can afford it” he assured her.

“ok” she smiles “Love you” she adds.

“you too baby” he grins.

Part 27

Liz sighed happily as she packed the last of their bags. They were headed to Roswell for their wedding and she couldn’t be happier.

Max walked in the door smiling “Baby” he called out.

“In here” she called out, he followed her voice and found her in the bedroom.

“Hey” he grinned kissing her.

“Hey, how was work?” she asked.

“Great” he smiled “got everything cleared away so now I can marry you and have a wonderful honeymoon without having to worry about work” he assured her.

Her and Max would be married on Christmas Even which was only four days away now.

“You?” he asked.

“Good” she smiled “The girls took me to lunch” she explained.

After the episode with Harrison at Rydock Liz ended up resigning. Dr Jefferson had offered to transfer her to a different section but everyway Liz looked at it they were choosing Harrison over her and the move was definitely a demotion. There was no way she could continue working for a company like that.

In the end she had gotten a job working as an assistant to the head of the Biology Department at BU. They had a wonderful program and it had inspired Liz to go back and do another year of schooling to get her teaching qualifications.

“I’m glad” Max was so happy that she was enjoying the new job, he didn’t care if she never wanted to work again he just wanted her to be happy.

“Well then lets go get married” he said.

“Yes lets” she squealed throwing herself into his arms.

***

“It’s so good to see you” Maria cried as she hugged Liz again.

“Hey stop hogging” Alex cried joining in on the group hug.

Max laughed as he watched his future wife with her two best friends anyone would think that they hadn’t see her in months when in truth the four had been out to visit Liz and Max the month before.

“so Liz is everything organized?” Isabel asked when they all finally sat down in a booth together to catch up.

“I think so” she smiled “Did you get your dress?” she asked.

Instead of trying to coordinate bridesmaid dresses from Boston Liz had told both Maria and Isabel to just go out and pick something they both liked as long as it was red or green. Her and Max had decided to go all the way with the Christmas theme.

“Yep” she grinned “your going to love it” she assured her.

“I know I will”

Isabel’s dress was red and Maria’s would be green.

“Hey missy we both know you couldn’t care less what the two of us are wearing all your care about it Max” Maria interrupted.

“Ria that’s not true” Liz laughed trying to hide her guilty look. Both girls looked at her disbelievingly though. “Ok maybe it is but I just want everything to go perfectly” she sighed.

“It will and even if is doesn’t, does it really matter Lizzie your marrying the man of your dreams” Maria whispered awed.

Liz felt a few tears gather in her eyes “Your right”

Christmas Eve

“Ladies and Gentleman it is my pleasure to announce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Max Evans”

The guests all cheered and clapped loudly as the priest announced Max and Liz.

“I can’t believe we’re married” Liz gasped as Max guided her down the isle with a massive grin.

“I know” he told her.

Michael tapped on the glass and waited for everyone to grow quiet. He smiled before he started “Hi everyone, for those of you who don’t me I’m Michael Geurin, Max’s best friend and tonight I stand beside him proudly as he marries the women who I know he’s loved his entire life” the crowd oohed then and Max’s ears went bright red.

Maria stood up bedside him then “I guess this is where I jump in” she smiled “I’m Maria Deluca and Liz and I have been best friends since diapers so believe me when I say Liz has loved Max just as long.” The guests oohed again then and laughed when they saw Liz flush red too.

“So when Michael and I sat down and talked about what we were going to say tonight we decided that we should do our speeches together instead of separately like it’s traditionally done because that’s the way Max and Liz have always done everything, together”

“Some of you might not be aware but Maria and I are also engaged to be married and strangely enough it was because of the couple we’re all here tonight to honor that we’re together” Michael explained. “they brought two very different people who swore they would never be together into each others lives” he chuckled.

“So thank you” Maria whispered tearily.

“Thank you for showing us all that love is possible, that forever isn’t that far away” she finished.

“I know I speak for everyone here when I say that the two of you have what we all strive to find in a lifetime, you found it sooner than anyone ever imagined and you’ve grown in that love and thanks to you we’ve also found that love too” Michael told them.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd as everyone listened to the words by Maria and Michael.

“And no longer are you two halves of a whole” Alex stood up and added.

“Your complete” Isabel chimed in with a grin.

Max leaned in and kissed Liz gently closing his eyes to stop the flow of tears that wouldn’t stop from his friends beautiful words. Liz on the other hand was openly sobbing.

“To Liz and Max” the four friends chorused.

“To Liz and Max” everyone cheered.

Ten minutes later when Liz had herself under control she stood up and signaled to the band.

“I don’t think I can easily respond to what our best friends said tonight” she said quietly. “Sometimes there just aren’t words” she said looking at each of them.

“But I will say this” Max stood up next to her then. “I know that Max and I are the people we are today, the couple we are today because of the people in our lives. Everyone of you have played a part in the people we are and we will be eternally grateful for that”

They turned to their friends then “We love you guys so much, you were the foundations that held us together when we started crumbling I think it was always destiny that we would be friends and family” she smiled.

“Now I have a surprise for my wonderful husband” she grinned. She walked towards the band then and the music started playing behind her.

Couldn't feel much better
Than the way I feel tonight
Feel like I could live forever
Feel like I could fly

When I thought I'd got it wrong, yeah
You somehow make things right

That's the way you make me feel
Better than I've ever known it
Better than it's ever been
I can't seem to control it, no
The way you make me feel
Like the sun coming up in the morning
Like holding the world in your hands
In a way I could never imagine (yeah)
The way you make me feel

Max shook his head in shock, he didn’t know she could sing so beautifully.

I couldn't feel much better
Than when I'm here with you
You make everything seem so easy
I'm telling you the truth
You never try to please me
But somehow...you always do

That's the way you make me feel
Better than I've ever known it
Better than it's ever been
I can't seem to control it, no
The way you make me feel
Like the sun coming up in the morning
Like holding the world in your hands
In a way I could never imagine (yeah)
The way you make me feel

The way you make me feel, yeah
The way you make me feel

The simple things you do to me
Simple things you say
I sometimes can't believe it's for real

That's the way you make me feel
Better than I've ever known it
Better than it's ever been
I can't seem to control it, no
The way you make me feel
Like the sun coming up in the morning
Like holding the world in your hands
In a way I could never imagine (yeah)
The way you make me feel

The way you make me feel, yeah
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel

At the end of the song Max moved back to Liz and kissed her lovingly.

“Thank you” he grinned

“Just returning the favour” she smiled.

Max picked up the microphone then “Thank you all so much for being with us tonight and sharing what is definitely the happiest day of our lives. Merry Christmas” he held up his glass.

“Merry Christmas” they chorused.

Max and Liz turned to each other then “I love you” she whispered.

“I love you too, forever” he replied before leaning in kissing her

THE END
