I'm nearly as bad as that 2-Layered Chocolate Bastard Cockblocker Cake. ;) Chapter 55 up tomorrow, I hope.

The chapter was good.  I can see why you would stuggle with the James part of the story.  It is hard to think like a delusional stalker.  Edward is so protective and so good for Bella.

Finally getting through the week.  You are doing such a good job of capturing both Edward and Bella's emotions in this story.  It is a great read. 

Thank you!

Author's Response:

Hi Twi!

Glad you liked the chapter. James makes things tricky. I have a hard time writing that kind of stuff. B & E are getting closer to their weekend away. Chapter 55 should be up tomorrow, I hope. Let me know.

Thanks for the compliments and review.

Protectiveward is just so adorkable, but I'm starting to get a little annoyed with him. I understand that James is a little psycho and definitely approaching stalker status, but skipping his own classes and insisting on walking her everywhere seems to be a little much for me. Walking to class sure, but he shouldn't skip his just to make sure James isn't around. I don't know about it, but he's still super sweet and loving. He can follow me around campus anytime he wants!

Author's Response:

Hi Rob!

I love writing that!!! Edward hasn't missed a class so far, he's a bright boy, college kids do those kinds of things, and I'll make sure that he gets all A's. ;) He goes with Bella to class next chapter, is bored, and finds suitable entertainment in the form of passing notes. hehehe.

thanks for reviewing,

what a great start. very funny.

Author's Response:

Glad you liked it. There's lots of humor and a cute, touching love story buried in this little (BIG) fic. Hope you continue to enjoy. Keep in touch.

Gah!!!! Ok James is oneeeeeeeeeee creepy dude! Blech. I feel weird for saying this but I really like the way you write him. Spot-on psychotic portrayal.

Oh Saturday, please come soon!!!

What the hell is harder than steel? Well, my dick, for one.

*giggles* Poor Titaniumward!

More, more, more!!!!

Author's Response:

Hi love-tart!

James is a creeper all right! Thanks for liking (?) my psycho. I think a scary psycho is the kind that isn't very overt. You just don't know what's opercolating beneath the surface.

I've still got to get B & E through the rest of Thursday in the next chapter. And then the following chapter will be the trip to Forks and Papa PD Swan. Then it's the build, and THEN we'll finally get some action.

I was almost going to mention titanium, but that's supposed to be a lighter-than-steel metal, and somehow Hardward seemed like he'd be pretty darn "heavy" and so I left his musings as is. That must have been one pretty hard member. ;)

Thanks for the review and the giggles.

YUCK, James is so slimey!!!  He just makes my skin crawl. 

 

As always, bunches of story love!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

Thanks for the Storylove, andib! I know, James is a slimy sleeze bucket and now we know that he's delusional. I'm glad he made your skin crawl...I wrote him right then. ;)

Thanks for the review.

I liked this chapter very much :)... and not just because of the "lemon" ;) and I loved the Twilight reference "Greek god" :D

The note from Esme was really sweet.. I wonder how Charlie will react when he meets Edward.

And Alice once again :D We need more of her please. And is there any group outings in the near future.. cause I just love all the six of them together :D .. but actually that can wait unitl after Saturday ;)

I also am a big fan of Edward`s inner monologue.

Cant wait for the next chapter :D oh and did you read: Rob as shaved :D :D  (not that i dont like the stubble, but that beard of his was getting out of control)

Btw, I have not forgotten about your email!! I ll reply as soon as i get around to it!

 

Author's Response:

Hi Rory!

Glad you liked the chapter. Had to get that Greek god leaning against the wall outside of a classroom somehow or other. ;)

I think Esme is such a cute mom, and you just know she's head over heels in love with Bella for making her baby happy and whole again.  Charlie, on the other hand, he probably won't be sending a thank you note to Edward. lol I actually can't wait for the Forks chapter.

I do love Alice. The gang does need to get together again. They're a fun group. I was thinking to myself the other day...when I end this story and miss all of these characters, I can always go back to things mentioned and just write outtakes about them forever. I keep thinking I have to write a chapter about when the Cullens first moved to Port Angeles and ran into Mrs. Cope and Edward and Emmett had to help her out. Bella wouldn't have been there then, but I still think it has potential. I also like the thought of a chapter about Jessica trying three times to hit on Edward. And maybe Alice, Jasper and Edward shopping with the two guys pretending to be each other's significant other. I don't know.

I'm glad you love Edward's inner monologue. I love it too. There's just so much I can do with it. Sometimes it's sweet and sentimental, other times it's raunchy and sometimes it's just silly and neurotic. It's very well-rounded inner monologue. ;)

I love stubbly Rob, and I love clean-shaven Rob, but when the beard gets going a little too wild, he looks too mountain-man for me.

Take care, Rory. thanks for the review.

I laughed so hard at the whole 'belt' debacle, actually the whole first quarter of this chapter...I was rolling over sideways on the pillows in the swanky fort with Bella...I love protective Edward, even if he went just a teensy bit overboard this time, but who can blame him, that's his Bella love...Dead weeds.Black ribbon.Creepy note.James.  This can not be good, I'm very worried now...I hope Bella doesn't wait too long to tell Edward, I have a feeling she better tell him before they go to forks this weekend (oh crap, what if James follows them to forks, or leaves Bella another 'present' for her, Oooh, what about Alice? I hope she's with Jasper all weekend (then I'll know she's safe; but at least Alice gave Emmett the note so he knows about it (Hell, the whole gang probably knows about it, except Edward, for now) Plus, Edward needs to know now so he can watch out for Bella (even more than he already does) I know Bella doesn't want to upset him, but I think it will be bad if she waits to tell him...I think it's very big of Edward to want to go with Bella and help out at Billy and Jakes place, he's such a good guy; I especially love Edwards proposal for the rest of the weekend, I can't wait to read BPOV to know what she thinks about it...I thought Edward was going to let Bella take the lead on this very special and important step in their relationship, but who can blame him, he couldn't wait to at least let her know what he was thinking, and I thought the way he brought it up and the words he used were very romantic...Oh, I hope Edward doesn't end up getting sick, then Bella would have to go by herself to Forks...Or would she? Maybe she would stay and take care of him like he did for her...We shall see! You know, I'm going to try very hard not to worry too much about James (I said try) *Gulp* But he is such a creepy, scummy, etc., etc., piece of wasted space and obviously wants to get into Bellas pants...I shiver at the thought...Hey, if he tries something I wonder if the baseball bat and bucket of balls in Edwards trunk will come in handy? God, what an imagination I have...I better stop ranting, it's 2:22 a.m. I should really go to bed now...Great chapter, will read the next two soon! :)

Author's Response:

Hello again 1918EC!

Glad you liked that little belt buckle scene...it really had Edward tied up in knots! Protective Edward is just raring to go, isn't he? You can imagine how he would be quick to react after the whole kiss outside the front of the hospital between Jake and  Bella. That is not going to be happening on his watch again!

Alice is safe---not just because she's with Jasper, but she's also the tiny tyrant---who would try to mess with her? lol But Bella does need to let Edward know what's going on. He's not going to be happy when he finds out weirdness with James has been going on and he's been out of the loop. The longer it goes on, the more upset Edward will be. It's time to tell him.

Edward is a good guy. He wants to help at the Black's because he would be helping Bella by doing that. And letting bygones be bygones. And...maybe he wants to keep an eye on things too, but that thought is probably tucked pretty far back in his mind. I think first and foremost he wants to do good by Bella. :)

Edward thought he was going to let Bella dictate when their relationship would move foreward. But it doesn't hurt to ask, does it? He's not going to push her into anything. You know him. He'll ask, she'll say yes, then he'll re-think things and over-think things and decide she's not ready maybe and he'll try to give her an out so she doesn't think he's pushy. ...you know how he works. ;)

James is a creeper. We'll have to hope that situation gets dealt with pretty soon, won't we? Keep reading... ;) Hmmm... baseball bats and bucket of balls... maybe they'll catch James off base, tag him out or throw him out at home. :)

Thanks for the wonderful review. Love it and glad you enjoyed the chapter. Take care. Keep in touch.

Great chapter again!!!! as usual keep up the great work and pls pls update soon!!!!Gah!!!! James serioulsy gives me the creeps and Edward oh Edward the neverending Hero!!!! Great Great Chapter again!!!

Author's Response:

Hi i!

Glad you liked that last chapter. I am updating today or Monday. Be on the look out for chapter 54. I think it'll be interesting. Let me know. ;)

thanks for the review, the great, great , great comments, and the surplus of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bannerday,

I can't believe a whole week has gone by and I've not written any poetry, stories, reviews or anything. My only excuse is that I've been trying to get a few chapters through the betas, so I can start posting the first story I've written since school!!

Oh, I'm definitely up for playing house! I think we could take turns with Emmett and Jasper, but I'll surely trade off Edward for the undivided attention of Daddy C!!! I would even suffer my cold again to play undead Mummies and Daddies with them!

I have a lovely mental (take that word any way you wish) image of you sitting in the corner like the classroom dunce, getting hot under the collar or guffawing loudly like Emmett - depending on the fanfic of choice. Can't quite see your students letting you get away with that, lol.

O M G ! Did you just tell me to munch on P's buns? God I wish I'd thought of butter and jam! Nah, I'm dipping mine in chocolate!!!!!!

I love everyone's reaction to the kiss! It was a nice touch that Rosalie got the last laugh, she doesn't get to do things like that enough.

Jasper telling them to get a room - exactly which room? His or Alice's? lol

I'm sure Bella doesn't want to know the shit that ran through Edward's mind, but I'm very glad he felt able to share it with you. Very entertaining!!!

Jasper's advice is so - Jasper!

I think I'm almost as relieved as Bella that she's got all that James stuff out to Edward. It's so nice to see Ed and Em being such great brothers! James had better look out.

I'm going back to my chocolate dipped P's buns! I might have to munch them all the way through the next chapter.

Talk again soon, Isabel

P.S. I hear a certain RPatz has been home for a visit, but he's back on your side of the pond now.

Author's Response:

Hi Isabel!

Some weeks are slow weeks as far as fanfic goes. I don't know why; it doesn't seem right, does it? I just had a really hard week writing. I felt stuck with chapter 54, then I wrote chapter 54 and then I re-wrote it and then I changed things up and didn't include some things I thought I was going to include. It just didn't flow until Saturday, thankfully I think I found my groove. Oh well, I'll see what the readers think when it posts.

I loved, loved, loved your poem. Can't remember if I replied to it or not. I'll go look at me email later. I often let that email account lag. Bad, bad bannerday!

Hope you've enjoyed your P's buns dipped in chocolate---now would that be chocolate ganache, a la Two-Layered Chocolate Bastard Cockblocker Cake, or would that be chocolate sauce as in the preferred sexual treat of Cougar Cope aka Mrs. Grope?

Glad you liked knowing the shit that went on in Edward's mind. The chapter when B & E finally get to Forks will be FILLED with Edward's neurotic inner-ramblings regarding the girlfriend's cop-dad and his guns, handcuffs, billy club and such. HAHAHA. And all of Jasper's insightful and helpful tips, about how Edward should behave around said dad? Right out the window, the window, the second storey window...with a heave and a ho, and a mighty throw, it's flying out the window. LOL

Don't you just love The Brothers Cullen??? I do. We're finally getting to see in Emmett what Rose must have suspected was there all along. He's a doll...and he'll make such a great dad someday. And a Big Sis. And a Resident Advisor and brother. Really...he's an entire family in one person.

Thanks for the review and the giggles. Thanks also for sending RPatz back across the pond. We'll return him at some point. At least we're good about sharing something so fine and wonderful. (*sigh*) (*drool*) (*puddle*)
