I really like their type of studing....  Bella was great with her comback to Emmett....  As always great job.

Author's Response:

I think we could all use of little of this kind of studying. Edward in the DFSF. YUM! Bella is not as shy of a blushing belle that she seems to be. Surprise, surprise, Emmett.

I've posted chapter 25. It has yet to be validated, but tonight or tomorrow or Tuesday... ;)

Thanks for the review.

You have just made my day! (Doing my happy squeal dance) :)  I love signing on and seeing you have updated!  Plus it's been a bad day at work and you just made it all better! :)  Love the chapter!  Bella's version of the kiss was very HOT!!! My new wish is to have an Edward who will kiss me like that! ;)   Great Job!

Author's Response:

Hey hey susiefaye!

Your happy little review (not to mention your happy little squeal dance) made my day. Thanks for the overdose of Storylove! ;) If you find the Edward you're looking for, and tire of him (like THAT would ever happen) send him my way when you're done with him. ;) Glad you liked it.

I've updated again, but it hasn't been validated yet--look for it tomorrow or Tuesday.

Wow, Bella has some balls... I like it. (I kinda get mad sometimes when others make her such a frail and fragil little thing.) Good job on that.

Somehow, the description of the shower scene just made it all the better. And making Em speechless was just a bonus.

I have to agree with Bella about studying. That is what it's all about. ;)

As always, great chapter,  looooved it! :)

Author's Response:

Glad you approve of my Bella. I can't stand a wimpy Bella. Just because she blushes doesn't make her a wilting flower. My girl gotz ballz and backbone. I love Emmett put in his place. It's so unexpected. It usually doesn't happen, and certainly not by Bella. I'll fix that little misconception!

At least these two can be honest about their inability to study with each other in the room. Makes you wonder what they're really concentrating on.

Thanks for the Storylove,

Okay I am glad Bella said what she said to Emmett about the kiss, she redeemed herself from earlier in the chapter when she said the kiss was "really nice".  Come on girl it is Edward Freakin' Cullen, wet, in the shower it was better than "really nice"!
Emmett and Jasper had me laughing.  I love how you write the interactions between the whole group.  You just want to be their friend...or in some cases more than their friend.  They seem to have fun together, yet are able to be their for each other no matter what.
I would gladly give up my Saturday night to do laundry if it meant doing laundry with Edward.  I like that you have them building a foundation for the relationship.  They are not just jumping into it.  They are slowly learning about each other.
Again, can't wait to read more.

Hi CN

I think Bella wants to keep things under wraps and close to the vest. Obviously she is enjoying herself immensely because her plans, walls, stipulations are just crumbling.

I love Emmett and Jasper, and they will be back for more irreverence and hilarity at Edward's expense. I think they do seem like a fun group. Kind of insular, maybe, but they have everything they need. Why would they want to invite someone in like Mike, for example? Bella has been extended an invitation, and at breakfast, she proved herself worthy. :)

I would scrub floors with Edward---mmmm, soapy goodness on the linoleum. I would garden with Edward---mmm, lust in the dirt amongst the flowers, I would even wash windows with Edward---mmm, lust against the stucco walls of the house. The mundane becomes erotic.

There will be no jumping into this relationship. they are in it for the long haul and I will make them wait---to the breaking point.

Thanks for the entertaining review. Love it! More in a few.

The Inquisition was hilarious.  Wish I was sitting in a fort with Edward. Wouldn't be studying very much though.

Author's Response:

Ruthless and hilarious. And now, due to Bella's backbone, neatly deflected. ;) Edward in a swanky fort, Edward in the laundry room., Edward on the rooftop...it's all good. ;)

Thanks for reviewing. More in a few.

WOW!!!! Bannerday are you trying to make my pea-picking heart burst into flames?!!!!!! Not that I am complaining you know me.... I love lemony goodness in large doses!!!!! hehehehehehe!!!!! Macking in the laundry now the is just good clean fun!!!!!! And "studying" in the Swanky Fort!!!!!!!... can I be Edward's study partner? I'll give you oreo's!!!!!!!

Bella get bonus points today for making Emmett speechless!!!!!!!! as we all realize this is a difficult task to undertake on a regular day, nearly impossible when going through the Cullen/Hale tribunal trial..... I think that might even be scarier than going to the Volturi!!!!!!!!!

As always excellent chapter and writing!!!!!!! can't wait for the next adventure you give us!!!!!!!!!! I giggled at the new alteration of my name!!!!!!! Glad you are enjoying the storylove I am sending!!!!!! and the exclamtions, more to come with the next chapter!!!!!!

until next time

Twi-Ho!!!!!!

 

 

Author's Response:

Hey there my fellow Twi-Ho

Sorry about your combustible heart. I'm going up in flames here myself! So we know that E & B do the mundane exceptionally well: laundry, studying. If they were gardening, they'd probably be rolling in the dirt....possibly even fertilizing...I guess I should save that for a later more lemony chapter. ;)

Bella has a backbone. Big surprise there. But when it comes to Edward, he's such a good protector, he deserves a little protection himself!Emett has met his match. And this won't be the last time. Of course Emmett doesn't learn very quickly...but that just makes it fun.

Thanks for the excellence in fanfic nomination. Another ridiculous chapter coming up soon. And then we'll get to some more lovey-dovey stuff.

Thanks for sending so much Storylove! You can never have too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the additional exclamations too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-!b!a!n!n!e!r!d!a!y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the relationship that's building between them...

Please Mis, Can I have more??!!!!

Author's Response:

more ralationship building coming up shortly. So look for another serving of Edward with a side of Bella soon. ;)

great chapter! update soon!

Author's Response:

Thanks! I certainly will. Look for the next chapter in less than a week.

Ok, I must say this. I would've done exactly what Edward had done with Bella when he asked to take her out to breakfast. I say this because my family would be the same way. My dad would try to scare him off while my mom would show naked baby pics n my sis would tell embarassing stories about me. Ugh. Lol!

Plus, I could see the last kiss in that chapter from a mile away. ( Not that thats a bad thing!) I mean who wouldn't want to kiss edward while studying in the dfsf. I certainly wouldnt resist that. I like kissing too much and if I could do that with him, then bring it on suga! HaHa!

Loved it! Liked the lighteness of the chapter. It was light w/o being cheesy, you know? I think sometimes its hard to find the right balance for that. You did very well! A+ Lol!

Much Love and God bless,

Kate:D

Author's Response:

Wait! Your family...it sounds just like my family! Yeah, I couldn't have gotten away with shit. I would have opted for breakfast at the pancake house in the next county.

That last kiss was forseeable, wasn't it? You know Edward wanted to get back to that action. And since we know Bella has a backbone, she's not shy about instigating it. I'd definitely study Edward in the DFSF. ;)

Glad you loved the chapter. It was light, silly, but sincere as far as their relationship goes. Thanks for the lovely compliments. I'm hugging my little author self right now. Thanks for the A+ It is exam time, you know?

More soon.

Oh, how I miss doing laundry and studying! Great chapter :)

Author's Response:

Where the hell have the good old days gone? Laundry has become a freaking domestic chore, and studying has turned into grading papers for students who will soon be doing their own laundry and studying. Damn them!Glad you liked the chapter.

oh my GOD how cute!! I wanna dry hump edward in the DFSF!! waaa! I don't have a fort, swanky or otherwise...sniffle sniffle...life is a cruel, cruel bitch.

Bella was pure geeeenius at breakfast!  Let it all hang out, sista!!  Their little hand holding, pull your chair by mine, let me hold the door, hold my hand, united front smoochy kissy business is KILLING ME!!! gah! I want a time machine! I want to go back to college and meet fine boys in my fine fort!  alas...S Meyer has probably destroyed any chance of happiness the tween girls have....NO MEN ARE LIKE THIS!!!!  Hopes dashed at 13....alas.

merci for the zippy update!! It was delicously tart. :)

Author's Response:

Oh Esq, isn't it divine! Yep, Dryhumpward in the dfsf would be definitely DO-able! Life wasn't a cruel, cruel bitch until Stephenie Meyer wrote her damn book. It used to be so easy to just plod through life and be happy with crumbs!

Bella has a backbone! Emmett has seen it. E & B are so cute, aren't they? Little married couple and they aren't even aware of it yet.

Shit! My college years are such a hazy memory in the distant past. Did I do enough crazy stuff? I DON'T THINK SO!!! Waaaaaah!   Where are all the Edwards that we should all be enjoying up close and personal. I think every male, upon birth should be given an Edward Cullen How-to manual.

More zippy updates in a few.

-bannerday

HOT!! And way to go Bella for standing up like that!

Author's Response:

Hotward...YUM! I love how Edward just sits there, proud of Bella. He did a lot of work earlier...they wouldn't be in this position now without Edward's HARD work earlier in the shower. Bella has a backbone and Edward's digging it!

More in a few.
