The Return of Harry
(All characters, places and events depicted in this story are based on 100% pure fiction)
Eleven Years Ago
I had not been able to pen my escapades for about 11 years now. The audience is probably wondering what happened to Harry who was normally very active, never missing an opportunity to hang out with college girls and fuck some of them after their tutoring sessions. I did a pretty good job with tutoring some of the students who attended Norwood Community College (NCC) in math, physics and chemistry. Many of them ended up getting A+!
Then, about 10 years ago, the President of NCC apparently heard rumors that a certain Harry who lived in town was bartering his tutoring services in exchange for sex from some of the female college students. I did this rarely and only when the tutee was totally broke. I thought there was nothing wrong with this arrangement so long as I did not use the college facilities to do my tutoring and only had sex with the adult women elsewhere and with their consents.
The President Dr. Pam Brown (age 36 then) called me and asked me to meet with her in her office. I reluctantly agreed and met with her. She alleged that I was using the college facilities to do my tutoring. She also alleged that since I was neither a staff member nor a teaching assistant employed by the college, nor was I enrolled as a student, I was trespassing into the campus. All these allegations were blatantly false. I had never entered the campus (I already have a four year college degree from elsewhere!). I always tutored my clients elsewhere. After she laid out the allegations, I informed her that she was misinformed. Rather, the truth was that some of her faculty members were tutoring the students on campus for money (a violation of conflict of interest and NCC ethics rules) and were artificially boosting the grades of those students who paid for the tutoring (a clear violation of the faculty/employee code of conduct). I told the President I had proof and witnesses who could corroborate my statements. Perhaps, she was in cahoots with the offenders who were considering me as their competition for clients. In any case she backed off from bringing any "sanctions" upon me such as banning me from campus or something else equally silly.
Soon afterwards, I got into a serious car crash in Norwood through no fault of my own. My car was totaled and I underwent multiple surgeries to repair my almost fully shattered body. I went through extensive rehab and had to move back to Rutledge, a hundred miles from Norwood in a neighboring state, to live with my mother. My mother and I always had a close relationship and so I was glad that she took me in as I recouped from the disaster. After six months or so, I felt well enough because I could now walk using a cane. My mother said that I could stay as long as I wished. I didn't want to impose on her and thus wanted to contribute a little something in return for room and board.
By that time technology had advanced so much that I started doing
e
-tutoring. At first I was unsure how this would work out since I had always been a face-to-face type of person and not a cyber communicator. But I got used to it. Soon my clientele started growing as I was able to reach every nook and corner of the nation as well as internationally. Soon, I was able to pay my mother something every month even though she didn't want to talk about accepting money from me.
My father had left us many years ago and so mom was single but was not dating anyone. But I realized that my staying with mom probably further inhibited her from dating men. So a year after I had moved in with her, I decided to find a place on my own. I moved into a studio apartment in Rutledge with my
e
-tutoring business booming. Once a week, I took mom out for lunch on Sundays as she was busy as a financial advisor working six days a week. I still used my cane occasionally as needed but my mobility was great compared to a year ago.
Present Time
I lived happily in Rutledge and did my electronic tutoring. I abstained from seeing any women during the 11 or so years. I did miss my life in Norwood, the face to face tutoring and the rewards it offered such as frequent and exotic sex with the college women. One day I decided I needed a vacation and drove to Norwood. I had not been in touch with the people I used to know in Norwood except Liz, who I learned had become the librarian at the Norwood Public Library (refer to the story
Harry, Liz and Amy
). She also filled me in on the happenings in the Village of Norwood which was not much. The major news which happened about nine years ago was President Pam Brown was forced to resign from NCC facing ethics charges. Pam went into a deep depression and thanks to medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy she pulled out of it in about two years. Since she had a background in accounting, she took the CPA exam and passed it. She set up her own business as a CPA and was serving the population of Norwood and surrounding communities. Liz also told me that Pam moved to the countryside and had her own remote ranch house while her office was located in the village downtown.
I reached Norwood in about two hours after crossing the state line. The village hadn't changed a bit in over ten years. I drove straight to the library. Liz was in her office and she rose when she saw me. She was wearing a flowery dress that stretched to her knee and comfortable walking shoes. Her pretty face had some rouge on, mascara and muted red lipstick. She still wore her glasses. She ran toward me and gave me a big hug.
She said, "It is so good to see you after all these years!"
I replied, "Yes, Liz. Great to see you! You look well!"
"Thanks," she replied.
Tears were forming in her eyes. I shed a tear or two myself as Liz and I had been BFF for some years now.
She said, wiping her tears, "Let me show you around. Since you were here last we have made major technological advances in the library."
She proudly displayed the new computers and peripherals. The library was providing customers
e
-readers as many books went digital. Some of the older ones were scanned in and could be accessed from the digital library catalog. Some really old books and back volumes of magazines were still stored in the second floor archives area where Liz and I had the first sexual encounter (see
Harry, Liz and Amy
, a story by the same author).
"Congratulations on becoming a librarian, Great to hear the news," I said.
Mrs. Henderson had retired and Liz applied for the position and got it. Liz had just one full time staff reporting to her and two paraprofessionals and some volunteers.
"How long are you staying in town?" asked Liz.
I said, "I don't know. It was an impromptu decision to get into my car and drive over. I have no plans. By the way, how's Amy, your house mate?"
Liz said, "Right now she is visiting her mother and will be back in a week. We are getting married later this year."
"Great! I am very happy for both of you," I said, remembering the adventures the three of us have had in the past.
After our adventures over a decade ago, Liz dated a few men and they turned out to be losers. So she gave up on men altogether and felt solace, safety and comfort in being Amy's sole girlfriend.
"What is the plan for the rest of the day? Where are you staying?" asked Liz.
"I might check into King's Motel," I said.
"Oh, no! You can use Amy's room. Here's the spare key. I will be home just after 7 PM after I close up here," said Liz.
I gave Liz a peck on her cheek, took her key and left the library. I drove over to her apartment and let me in. It was nearing five in the evening. I peed first and then went into Amy's room. I lay on her bed to take a power nap being tired after the drive. I enjoyed the smell of Amy's bed. Normally I would have explored her room, her closet and unwashed laundry and would be looking for her worn panties (with stains) to smell, lick and get high. But today, I restrained myself. I would not do this to my BFF's fiancée and soon to be wife. That's not me.
After a half hour nap, I opened the refrigerator but found there were just a few things there. So I went to the nearby grocery store and bought some shrimp, lemons, parsley, some vegetables, white wine and Italian bread. It was nearing 6 PM when I returned to her apartment.
I peeled and deveined the shrimp. I placed those peels in a sauce pan with a cup of water, salt and pepper and extracted the goodness from the peels after ten minutes of gentle simmering. I then discarded the peels saving the stock. I then made a quick green salad and whipped up lemon vinaigrette dressing using three parts of oil to one part of lemon juice. I sliced the Italian bread and chopped up garlic and parsley. Turning the burner on high, I sautéed the shrimp in olive oil and butter, one minute per side. I then turned the heat down and added the prepared stock and simmered it for a minute. Then, I added freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped parsley and garlic, stirred, and turned the fire off after another minute. Then, I added two tablespoons of butter and stirred to emulsify. I smeared butter on bread slices, rubbed garlic cloves on them and quickly toasted them. Dinner was ready at 7:10 PM and Liz walked into the apartment at that time.
She said, "Smells heavenly!"
I had set the table for two and had two glasses filled with Moscato white wine. I also had lit a candle and laid out napkins and silverware. Liz was amazed at the effort I had expended in getting a gourmet dinner ready. She hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.
She said, "Let me freshen up a little. Back in five!"
She went to her bedroom, removed her dress, panties and bra and came out naked. I didn't think she was out to seduce me because best friends don't just do that. She looked beautiful in her raw nakedness, her large size breasts still defying gravity, her rosy nipples wanting to be bold and her rounded, milky, and soft buttocks a treat to watch for any man (or woman). She then went into the single bathroom the apartment provided. I heard water running followed by the trickle of her pee in the toilet, her pulling of tissue off the roll and wiping noises. Then came the sound of a toilet flush. She came out a minute later wearing jeans and a white sweater and smelling of cedar perfume.
We hugged each other. I felt Liz shaking and I saw tears in her eyes.
She said, "These are tears of joy and gratitude. You have been my best friend for years and I love that. You were with me on the phone when I broke up with Stan years ago. You consoled me and listened to me without judging. Thank you!"
I said, "That's what friends are for. There is not a single day that goes by when I don't think of you and us."
I squeezed her tighter, and then said, "Let's eat!"
We ate the salad, shrimp scampi and garlic bread.
I said, "I forgot to get cheesecake for dessert."
Liz replied, "This is plenty. Our meeting after so many years itself is a treat and will substitute for any dessert.
I said, "I agree."
