That chocolate cake sounds as good as the one I like to make. I use a recipe from an old Betty Crocker cookbook called Decadent Chocolate Raspberry Cake. It's done from scratch but it is AWESOME! I may have to try this one to compare.
Sounds like Bella got her dessert a little earlier in the day!
Author's Response: Hi twimom!
You can never have too many desserts in one day, be it Decadent Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Cockblocker Cake, Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Torte, or Naked Edward Chocolate Drizzle. I should probably post the recipe for that last dessert, huh?
Thanks for the review. Keep in touch.

Wow. Way to go, Edward. Jake has really lost her. He has to see that now. She needs to end this.
Author's Response: I love a provoked Brawlerward. And he didn't go overboard, so he's completely respectable, thought slightly damaged---that's okay, he'll wear it as a badge of love.

Awesome. Wondering whats up with Bella?
Author's Response: Glad you liked that one, lilmissb! Bella's not angry-upset, she's sad upset. It's a combination of the song, the Edward in her arms, additional stuff she knows about him from the evening's banter. It's just hit her pretty hard. Stay tuned for an all E & B chapter. Let me know what you think when you check it out. It should be up today or tomorrow.

Jake really IS being an immature little shit. They have grown apart. She needs to move on. It will be the only way to salvage any part of their friendship.
Author's Response: Jerk, I mean Jerkob, I mean Jakeass sure has his shit-encrusted moments, doesn't he? They've grown apart and aren't recognizing it. And because of that friendship they don't want to recognize it, but they have to move on so they don't lose the friendship aspect as well.

I think deep down Bella knows what she needs to do. She is just going to end up hurting everybody keeping up this charade with Jake. Hopefully when she sees him next weekend, it will all become clear.
Author's Response: She knows. It's just not going to be fun AT ALL. Been there. Done that. Cried a river.

I am happy that he told Bella the truth about his past. It helps her know him better. The girlfriend of a friend of mine was bipolar and actually killed herself soem years ago. When you mentioned her darkness a few chapters back it immediately reminded me of her. How can Bella resist him now, knowing how vulnerable he is? I hope she can't for long...
Author's Response: He feels safe enough to let her in, telling her about this painful part of his past. Not only did he tell her the facts about what happened, but he told her how it made him feel--letting her in even more. He's comfortable enough to confide in her. It's sad that this happens to young people. Teens go through enough angst as it is. Sorry to hear about your acquaintance. I've known students that have had to deal with this to varying degrees of success.
You are right, though, how can Bella resist him now? He has just made himself that much more appealing because of his vulnerability.
Thanks for your consistent reviewing. I'm looking forward to reading these reviews you are writing. ;)

Ok, now I'm all atither. Why is Bella upset? God, don't leave me hanging BD. Is it something to do with Jake? Was the song Fix You? Sigh...
This chapter was great; I love the sentimentality of a family gathering. I don't have a big family, and the Cullens always make me feel warm inside. Aw.... I'm not gonna ramble on because I can't do it justice; I just hope these two are gonna be ok.. :(
Author's Response: Hi mul!
I hate when I leave my readers atither. ;) Bella isn't angry-upset, she is sad-upset. It's a combination of the song, the edward in her arms, the additional information she has from this evening's banter with the family. It's just a combination that is hitting her pretty hard. And it has nothing to do with Jake...although we haven't seen the last of him . ;)
I'm glad you loved the chapter and the family gathering--I think it's important to show them as a tight knit group, to show the family's support of Edward and their hope that he has finally found his happy. I like showing the childish/childhood connection of Emmett, Alice and Edward. I don't have a big family either, so I like that big loving group thing.
Things will be okay. I think you may really like this next chapter. It's one of my favorites. But it does make me cry. ;)
Thanks for the review. Hope I've resolved your atitherosity. ;)

They have eachother's backs and that is great. THey are becoming friends first, which will be important as they wade through their relationship.
Author's Response: Hi Dulcinea!
You are right once again. They are establishing a friendship and that will be a strong foundation for what develops after that. And they have eachother's backs and will take care of eachother---they already are weaving a tight foundation for a relationship.

Gah. I feel really badly for Edward. He is crazy for her. He won't be able to keep that bottled up. It will be torture for him to see her with Jake. Bella needs to figure her feelings out. Is she with Jake out of obligation? She doesn't feel for him what she should be feeling. SHe needs to cut him loose, it is only fair. I think she will have a hard time being physical with Jake in front of Edward. Her instincts will let her know how wrong the touch feels.
Author's Response: Edward is indeed getting frustrated--he IS crazy for her. the whole Jake weekend could be a potential nightmare for him. Bella isn't being fair to anybody, but she's in a hard position. It's easy for us to see what she needs to do, it's hard for her to acknowledge it because of her ties to Jake--things are alittle unusual in their situation, you know?
I think you have a crystal ball that you are looking into as you write your reviews. ;)
Thanks again, Dulci!

OK, I know I'm a geek, but I think that the next chapter has to do with this paragraph: ""We had to sit him down and tell him that it wasn't possible to really fix everything, at least not all the time. Still, even later in life, Edward had this notion that whatever was broken could be fixed. He'd patch toys up himself, hating to discard something, just because it was broken. He always figured you should at least attempt to fix it."
Bella didn't attempt to "fix" things with Jake. She just dumped him. ??
Hopefully we'll find out soon! I can't wait!
Author's Response: ;) You are most certainly NOT a geek!!! I love when I get two reviews from one reader in a chapter. You've got my story on the brain--that's a compliment!
The next chapter has EXACTLY to do with that paragraph! But it's not in relationship to Jake--Bella and he had been drifting for quite a while, even Jake sensed it coming, it wasn't really a surprise...it was an inevitability because they were at an impasse and they both knew it. They will stay friends, even though he tried to kiss her when they were at the hospital--he kind of did that without thinking about it, it wasn't like he was TRYING to persuade her.
Nope, she is just caught up in the song, the Edward in her arms, and that paragraph above and it's hitting her hard.
Hopefully the chapter will be up today or tomorrow. Let me know what you think of it when you read. ;)

Author's Response: I won't leave you hanging by your fingernails for long. I've updatd chapter 48, it should be posted today or tomorrow. And Bella's not angry-upset, she's sad upset.

the party sounded so awesome!! and the gifts were so great! but why is bella upset? does she feel like shes missing something?
Author's Response: Glad you liked the party. I would have attended. And I would have accepted all of those gifts---well, the poetry book was a little sketchy. ;)
No, Bella isn't missing something...she's upset because the moment has caught her off guard---the song, the Edward in her arms, additional information she knows about him from this evening's banter. It's all just hit her hard. She's not angry-upset, she'd sad-upset.

I am happy Edward didn't tolerate Bella's indifference. He can't handle separation between them. I can't wait for them to spend some time alone together... ;o)
Author's Response: She said one thing and then proceeded to do another. Said she wouldn't avoid him, then she avoids him. she's just confused. But you are right, it's good that he didn't tolerate it---the longer that went on, the more uncomfortable it would become. He's kind of taking the bull by the horns---and you are right, he can't handle their separation, especially when it's for no reason.
I guess now you know that they do get some alone time---you're way past this chapter. ;)

Why in the world would she be upset? I just can' think of a reason. Hmmm let's see *taps finger on nose* good looking, sweet, funny, kind, wonderful guy who can dance and who loves you. Nope I see no reason to be upset. Lol! Oh she better not thinking of jacob because that would just be so wrong. Are we headed into some sad times? I loved all of Edward's ramblings.
Author's Response: Hi bran!!!
I will give you a helpful hint because you are so good to me and because.......... *drumroll*...............
YOU ARE REVIEW NUMBER TWO THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*author gets up and runs screaming around the house for five minutes, doing an assortment of flips, back-flips, cartwheels, somersaults, and high kicks*
Okay, I'm back.
I'm so glad it's you who has that distinction! It's funny, I went to the forum threads last night, wondering if anyone has posted anything regarding my story, and there you were, with a list of reads, and there I was...well, not me, but The Transfer. I was so excited. I don't tweet, I don't Facebook, I haven't been in any contests and I don't forum-thread so I don't really know how to go about drumming up any business for my story, but people manage to find it somehow. So thank you for listing it in your post.
So I'm glad you get to wear the #2000 Crown/Tiara.
Okay, here's your hint: It's the song, tying in to more that she knows now about Edward. Something she learned about him in the chapter. Maybe you can figure out what Coldplay song it is and why. She's not mad/angry upset. There's no angst...well, not at the moment. There's no Jake...well, not at the moment. It's kind of sad times, yet good times in the next All B & E chapter. Bittersweet, maybe is the term we need here.
Glad you loved my ramblin' man. I love a good horny rambler.
Thanks for #2000 and all the others! Hope you figure this puzzle out. ;)

okay i'm confused as to why slow dancing would upset her but hey i'm sure you will explain it in the next chapter.
the scientist?
Author's Response: He le c!
Nope, not The Scientist--although that is a great song. It's not the actual slow dancing that is upsetting her, it's everything--the music, Edward's nearness, stuff she now knows a little more about. She's not mad-upset, she's sad-upset.

I am realy enjoying this story. They have such a unique start to their relationship. They are thrown together in a situation in which they are going to be spending a lot of time together. THey can only avoid their mutual attraction for so long!
Author's Response: Hi!
I'm glad you are anjoying. They wouldn't have gotten together any other way, you know? If she hadn't been thrust into his life, he could have avoided her, plus, now Alice is pulling her in---but there's a reason for that. ;) She wouldn't have bothered because she was attached, thought he was just a Hot Jerk and would probably have avoided him. But their personalities really DO mesh well, and they are careful with eachother. The "fit will hit the shan" shortly. ;)
Thanks again,

This chapter was very angsty, but they need to be experiencing this. THey both have to question everything they've based their lives on for the past few years. Things are getting shaken up. Neither one was looking to meet their soulmate! Good luck trying to pretend that isn't real...
Author's Response: Hi D!
They are being forced to come to terms with shaking things up. You are right---they have to questiion everything they have been doing, the way they have been going about their lives. Something's missing. Each other!!! LOL

They have a nice little bond between them already. THey are comfortable with being together. Edward's initial reaction to Bella's boyfriend will be relief, but then he is going to start thinking of them doing all of the things they do together and it is going to drive him crazy. I love it.
Author's Response: Hi D!
Yes they have a little bond. Something draws them together and they are comfortable with each other, until they realize that they don't want to be comfortable with each other. ;) You know exactly how Edward is going to be feeling about that boyfriend.

Author's Response: Hi div dev!
Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes. You will see why she is upset---and it's not angry upset, it's sad upset. And maybe you will figure out why now. And no, it's not the last time they will slow dance. How could anyone ever slow dance just ONCE with Edward???
I'm so glad that you are loving this story. One of the best compliments a reader could pay me is that you just couldn't stop reading long enough to leave a review because you were so wrapped up in the story. I extend forgiveness where that is the case. ;)
So hellllloooooo right back at 'cha! Am wondering if your hubs CD collection gave you any ideas?
