Authors Note: Okay everyone this is an idea that i've been working on. I dont think that this fic will end up being very long but lets just see what happens and where the story takes us. I have a bit of this read and most of the storyline worked out but who knows what might pop up unplanned.
Summery: Max Evan’s and Liz Parker are best friends who are in love, but they make a decision to postpone forever.
Prologue
‘You’re so beautiful’ Max whispered in her ear as they danced to the soft tunes of the final song at their senior prom. It still felt a little surreal to Liz that she was there, in the arms of her best friend and the man she knew she would love for the rest of her life.
‘Thank you’ she blushed which caused Max to chuckle it never ceased to amaze him that she could still blush when he complimented her.
To the outside world, the people they had gone to school with everyday Max Evans and Liz Parker were just two best friends dancing. They weren’t a couple; in fact the two of them had both been in relationships with other people until a few weeks before prom.
But as Max moved Liz around in his arms on the dance floor they both knew they weren’t just two friends sharing the most wonderful night of their life together, it was just so much more than that.
‘Come on’ he whispered to her as the final notes of the song faded out. He took her hand and began to lead her outside to where the limousine he had organized for the night would be waiting. They had started their night with dinner at Chez Pierre with their closest friends Michael, Maria, Alex and Isabel who were all couples, before coming to Prom and Max had no plans for the night to end anytime soon.
‘Where are we going?’ Liz asked him as they climbed into the limousine.
‘It’s a surprise’ he smiled back before leaning into leave a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth.
‘I like surprises’ she whispered huskily.
‘I know you do’ he smirked as his head leaned back into to meet hers.
The first touch of their lips was tentative, they had kissed before but tonight it meant so much more.
Max gently caressed his lips against hers before pulling her lower lip into his mouth. Liz wasted no time plunging her tongue into his mouth after that action and the kiss instantly turned more passionate. Before long Max had pulled Liz onto his lap where the kiss continued, the two of them only stopping long enough to breathe.
‘Sir, we’re here’ the driver informed them when they had reached their destination and although Max was reluctant to stop the drug inducing kisses with Liz he was excited to move them to a more private location and see her reaction to the surprise he had planned.
Most of the “couples” at West Roswell would be staying in the suites at Country Club that night where Max had no doubt there would be a lot of drinking, drugs and sex, things he certainly didn’t want to be involved in when he spent the night with his heart. So after remembering Liz mention how much she wanted to stay here before he had decided to book a room there.
After getting out of the car Max offered a hand to Liz and helped her out. He wasn’t disappointed when he heard her gasp when she realised where had had brought her.
‘The B&B’ she cried. For as long as she could remember it had always been Liz’s fantasy to spend the night in a B&B, and since it was Liz’s fantasy it was Max’s goal to make it come true.
Max thanked the driver before moving to stand behind Liz and take her back into his arms; he would never forget how right she felt in them.
‘Thank you’ she whispered arching her neck for another kiss.
‘Anything for you El’ he told her, using the familiar name he had used for most of their lives.
Max led her slowly to their room, he had already been there earlier in the day to set everything up and drop off the bag that Maria had packed for Liz. He had wanted everything to be a surprise and Maria had been very helpful.
The room was covered in white and red rose petals when Liz entered and she couldn’t help but gasp again which made Max’s heart soar.
‘I can’t believe you did this’
‘Believe it’ Max replied happily, this was the reaction he had hoped for all along and it didn’t matter what happened between them tonight or in the future everything was worth it just to have this one perfect moment where every fantasy Liz had ever had came true.
Max removed his jacket and threw it over the chair before moving to pour them both a glass of champagne, all of a sudden he was completely nervous and he wasn’t sure why, this is El he told himself.
‘Thank you’ Liz smiled when he handed her the drink.
‘I have something for you’ he startled her then pulling out a long velvet box out from the bedside drawer.
Liz opened the box in excitement and almost cried when she saw what was inside. It was the most exquisite gold necklace she had ever seen. It was so delicate and hanging on it was half of a heart.
Liz looked up at Max with questioning eyes, which were full of tears ‘Where’s the other half?’ she asked him.
Standing up and coming to sit next to her Max removed the necklace that was hidden by his shirt and revealed the other half.
‘Here’ he whispered. ‘Because this is my heart and you have the other half of it’
Liz smiled at the words and finally allowed the tears of happiness that had gathered in her eyes to fall.
‘I love you’ she whispered.
Max grinned ‘I love you too’ he replied before pulling her firmly into his arms.
Mouths sort out each other as dresses were delicately slipped down bodies and suits carefully removed. Both felt the need to be together desperately but they were also both aware that they had all the time in the world and this was something that they didn’t want to rush.
Max crawled up the bed naked ‘Are you sure?’’ he asked her.
‘Yes, I saved myself for you’ she declared.
‘Me too’ he replied and even though he had sometimes cursed his heart which had always stood in the way of him giving into his bodies need now he thanked it with everything he was. He was so glad that they had both waited so that their fist time would be with each other, it would mean so much more in fifty years when they looked back on the night.
Leaning down Max took one rosy nipple into his mouth sucking and biting it gently ‘Oh Max’ she moaned in response. His hand drifted down her body until he found her wet folds waiting for him, he entered a finger into her gently wanting to ensure that she was ready for him. He knew that she wasn’t new to foreplay; hell they’d done enough of it themselves over the years.
‘Max please’ she begged when he removed his finger, she couldn’t stand the teasing any longer she needed him badly. Unable to ignore her plea Max led his very hard cock to her core. He rubbed in against her a few times before he gently began to enter her.
‘Oh Liz your so tight’ he groaned.
‘Oh Max’ Liz moaned in delight as he filled her body.
When he reached her barrier he looked up and met her eyes, he saw that she was ready but he didn’t want to hurt her. ‘It’s yours’ she whispered.
‘I love you’ he told her.
‘I love you too’ she smiled back and with one thrust Max joined them completely.
Liz felt the tears spring to her eyes when the pain hit but it didn’t last long and soon she was able to enjoy the feeling of being filled with Max.
‘You ok?’ he asked.
She nodded in reply so slowly Max began to thrust in and out of her body.
‘Oh yes Max’ she moaned as their sweaty bodies glided against each other.
‘El’ he moaned ‘oh you feel so good, so good’
Liz moved her legs so that they were wrapped around his waist and the new position opened her up more and allowed Max to penetrate her deeper.
‘Oh god’ she cried out.
‘You like that baby’ Max asked her unable to hide the smile of pride that Liz was moaning because of him, for him.
‘Oh yes Max, oh harder baby’ she begged her nails digging into his back, but Max didn’t feel any of it he just felt and listened whilst he thrust in and out of her beautiful body driving them towards ecstasy.
‘MAXXX’ Liz cried out when she felt her orgasm take hold of her.
‘Oh Liz yes baby’ Max groaned feeling his balls tighten when Liz screamed his name as she came.
‘LIZZZ” he cried out when he couldn’t hold on any longer coming deep inside her leaving them both content and happy.

‘Are you sure your ok’ Max asked her again as they drove home.
Liz smiled and placed her hand over his on the gear stick ‘I’m wonderful’ she told him. Sure it hurt but not enough to stop them making love a second time the night before and then once again early this morning in the shower. The whole experience had been everything she had always hoped it would be.
‘Good’ he replied with a smile. He was sad that their time together was ending and that he would drop her home and then head to his own house.
‘So did you send of your acceptance to NYU?’ she asked him.
‘Yep’ he grinned in reply. Him and Liz had decided early on that they wanted to go to college together and they planned on sharing an apartment once they reached New York. The whole gang was heading there and Max couldn’t wait.
‘Great, I can’t wait to go apartment hunting’ Liz told him.
‘Oh god that’s the part I’m dreading’ he laughed as he pulled up out the front of the Crashdown. He quickly jumped out and helped her out before grabbing her bag and walking her to the door.
‘Thank you for the most wonderful night of my life’ she smiled up at him her hand unconsciously fingering the necklace he had given her.
‘Your welcome El’ he told her before leaning down to give her a soft kiss.
‘I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning ok?’ he told her then before taking a few steps backwards.
‘Cant wait’ she told him and with one final wave she entered her apartment and Max took of in the jeep.

Graduation – 2 weeks later
‘Hey’ Liz smiled as Max sat down across from her on the bench that they had ate lunch on for the past three years.
‘You ok?’ he asked.
‘Yeah just remembering’ she shrugged but it wasn’t the only thing that was bothering her, she had felt Max pulling away from her for the past two weeks and the distance was starting to scare her. After what had happened between them she thought it would have brought them closer.
‘I can’t believe it’s all over’ he told her.
‘I know’ Graduation had come and gone and now they had a party to attend at the Crashdown that Liz’s parents were throwing for her.
‘I wanted to talk to you before we went to the party’ he told her then.
Liz nodded; she had been waiting for this.
‘You know I love you right El?’
Liz nodded again, she did. ‘I love you too’ she told him her hand once again going to her necklace, something he noticed she did a lot since he had given it to her.
‘And I know that the love I feel for you is the kind of love that is forever’ he confessed then, but it didn’t scare or surprise Liz because it was exactly how she felt too.
‘I feel the same way Max’
Max smiled and reached for her hand ‘El’ he started his eyes pained.
‘What is it Max?’ she asked worried.
‘I’m not ready for forever’ he whispered with his eyes closed, he didn’t want to see her face when the words hit her, he didn’t want to see how much he hurt her. It had been on his mind for the past week. He knew he was just scared but then he also knew he should be. He was 18 and he had met the women he knew he was going to be with forever. That didn’t scare him what did was that he hadn’t experience enough of life yet and he didn’t want that to be a problem between them in the future which he knew it could be.
When he opened his eyes he wasn’t prepared for what he saw in front of him. Liz had tears sliding down her face and her big brown eyes looked shattered.
‘I know that your it for me El, but I want the chance to experience life on my own before we start our life together’ he rushed to tell her.
‘What do you mean?’ she cried.
‘God I’ve totally stuffed this up. El you’re my best friend and I know that one day in the future I’m going to ask you to marry me, I love you but I’m not ready for that yet. I want to postpone it’ he told her.
‘You want to postpone forever?’ she asked confused.
‘Yes’ Max replied.
‘And what will that entail?’ she asked curiously.
‘I still want us to share an apartment together when we go away but I think we should go back to the way we were before Prom’ he explained thinking about their best friends with benefits act that they had going on.
‘So you want do date other people?’ she asked horrified.
‘Don’t you?’ Max asked her.
‘Why? I know you’re the one for me’ she told him.
‘I know and I know you’re the one for me too but don’t you want to experience everything life has to offer? Do you really want me to be your only lover for the rest of your life?’ he asked her.
Liz thought about the question and the answer that instantly sprang to mind was Yes but she was also aware that Max obviously wasn’t in the same place that she was.
‘You want to make love to other girls?’ she asked hurt.
‘I don’t know, maybe’ he told her honestly.
‘And if I say no?’ she asked.
‘T-then I wont do it, I mean I love you but’ he started.
‘But your not ready for forever’ she finished for him.
‘Yeah’
Silence ensued then and Max was ready to tell her to forget he even brought it up when her voice startled him.
‘Okay’ she told him.
‘Okay?’ Max asked making sure he heard her right.
‘Okay, we can postpone forever it’s not like we really had started anything here anyway’ she shrugged. Max was slightly hurt the way she had brushed aside what they had developed between them since Prom.
‘Are you sure?’ he questioned. Liz put a smile on her face convinced that maybe this was what Max needed to be ready for forever.
‘Sure. We’ll date and we’ll fuck other people’ she grinned. Let’s see if Max Evans could really take it.
Max cringed at what he thought sounded like excitement in Liz’s voice ‘Liz’ he sighed.
‘No your right Max. Your not ready for forever and I think your solution is workable’ she smiled.
‘So we’re postponing forever’ she put out her hand as a gesture for Max to shake.
‘We’re postponing forever’ he shook.
