jema, you have to give me more than this. :) LOL

Seriously, I want to hear what you have to say.

Well I would certaintly hope he smells like him!!:) haha but I'm glad Bella needed it to be proven... Makes everything so much better!! Haha :)

Author's Response:

How disappointing if Edward didn't smell like him!!! Imagine if he smelled like...say...Mike Newton. What a letdown!!! LOL Bella was right to seek proof regarding Edward's scent. A girl can't be too careful, you know?

I love the idea of them texting from neighboring rooms. So silly yet sweet.

Thanks for the review.

Well this is where I am in this story.  I'll make more up to date reviews.  I could picture Bella make over and Edwards outfit.  The parting of the dorm floor for them to walk must of been something to see.  Haters and wish wellers.  What do you have in store for me after they leave the parking lot?

Author's Response:

I just love the visual of a really dressed up Bella completely flooring Edward before their date. And the fact that her outfit is a little edgy, I think that's sexy without her being too overt about it. Can't you just see the faces of the other dorm members as the Prom King and Queen walked through the dorm and out the door???

Thanks for the review.

This was one of my favorite chapters.  Edward comming to Bella's rescue.  I respect them both for respecting Jake enought to not fall into their tempation to be with each other especially Bella.

Author's Response:

Chapter 21 is such a pivotal chapter in their relationship. Well, chapter 20 and 21. The restrainging walls begin crumbling the minute she throws the first popcorn kernel at him during Movie Night. And the resulting physical "altercation" , aka ticklefest, is just an excuse to take care of some of that sexual tension that has been building between them, under the guise of "wrestling". Plus they are really having fun with each other and letting go a little. Until the next day, when Jake shows up and reality comes crashing down. Bella realizes that the tide has truly turned within her and she can no longer go back to Jake.

But Bella couldn't bring herself to start something behind Jake's back. I think that's important. And Edward knew that and respected her for that...and I think that's just one more positive thing he saw in her character. He wasn't going to get between them...it was her situation to work through. Until he thought Jake was a danger to Bella. And I just love me an angry Edward, barging in, fists swinging. But he's still restrained. When Emmett had Jake subdued and Edward managed to get away from Jasper, he didn't pull any more punches, that wouldn't have been fair.

I wanted all of these characters to respect each other (well...Jake doesn't respect Edward, because he feels that he has come between Bella and himself, that's understandable. But down the road they are learning to deal with each other's presence in Bella's life. ;)

Thanks for the review.

 Wow, I really went off on that, didn't I? LOL

~I distracted myself with thoughts of my parents and Bella's dad bursting in the door to the pool house. I imagined my dad calling out, "There'd better be a condom on that penis, son!" And then my mother, asking, "Did you notice Edward's birthmark, Bella?" And then Chief Swan would lift his service revolver and take careful aim.

And those distracting thoughts got me through the moment.

"Are you okay, Edward?" Bella had asked.

No, love. If you could read my mind, you'd see that I am definitely NOT okay. But thankfully neither of us can read minds.~ FAVORITE PART!!!!!! Oh my!!! Lol

Loved chapter 60, The remake of the song, and the sexy of course!!!!!

Loved it and Love you!!!

Kate :D

Author's Response:

Hi Kate!

Thank you for sharing with me the part of the story that you particularly got a kick out of. I love when readers do that. Everyone has different tastes, so I get a laugh when it's something that I thought was particularly funny.

I just love Rambleward and his ridiculously funny, candid, way-off-color thoughts and vulgar commentary. He hides all that shit pretty well when he is with Bella, but it's gradually coming out, have you noticed? And Bella seems fine with it. She's probably got a little of that within her as well, you know?

Edward...such a jewel in the rough. I'm so glad Bella is polishing that gem up and making him shine.

Ooooh, I really like that line. Alice may have to make that comment. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed chapter 60, chapter 61, Killing Me Slowly, and now hopefully you enjoy chapter 62 just as much.

Thanks for the review.

Finally getting a minute to do some catch-up reading on my currents fics and excited that I have so much of this story to catch up on! A nervous Edward is always a funny Edward!

Author's Response:

Hi luv!

I love nervous Edward and all that shit that goes on inside his beautiful head. ;) He's such an over-analyzer, over-thinker. He'll be doing more of that in the next few chapters as he gets closer to The Night.

Hope you enjoy the other chapters. Keep in touch. Let me know what you think. Happy reading.

This story is so freaking beautiful! I can't wait to read more! :)

Author's Response:

Hi T of C!

I'm so glad to know that you are loving what you are reading. I hope you continue to enjoy. Let me know what you think of chapter 62.

Thanks for the review.

Why aint you just the funny little limeric writer!  The words are absolutely perfect though.  You did just about kill us.  We waited patiently and FINALLY got our reward!   Yea!  Those two are so cute together!  You write them so perfectly!!  I hope to goodness you still have a little more adventure left in this story.  Just because the deed is done doesnt mean we don't want to read more...and more...and more of these two!  Theres so much more you can write about.  James needs to be taken care of, the six pack needs to get into some more shenaigans, and of course some more Ed/bella lovin would be fun too!    Keep up the great writing!!  Loved it!

Hugs, Stephanie

Author's Response:

Hi Steph!

Glad you liked my song for you all. I know I've been Killing You Slowly. ;)

Glad you like how I write this B & E. They are cute and so perfect together. There is more adventure coming. I know you want to read more and I plan to write more. There is still so much to tell. I was wrong when I said there were only 4 chapters to go. I've written four since then and I still have at least two reagular chapters as well as an epi and a...I'm not sure what to call it. It's different. There will be more James and there will be more 6-pack. And there is more love on the way.

Hope you enjoy chapter 62 if you haven't read it yet. I'm behind on replies to last chapter because I was working on 62 and had some problems...which wound up leaving us another chaptrer, so I don't think the readers will be too disappointed. ;)

Thanks for the Storylove!!! And the hugs, as always.

i am kind of looking forward to reading jake's visit more than the move-in celebration.  it should be interesting to see jake's reaction to edward.  

Author's Response:

Hi kergan!

Jake's visit will definitely stir things up for everyone. And I mean EVERYONE! The move in celebration is fun and more and more Edward and Bella are circling each other and being drawn closer and closer together. It's a slow developing slow burn.

I hope you continue to enjoy. Keep in touch. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Great song, sooo funny.

Loved Edward's pov.  I laughed out loud at his thoughts to delay his almost premature arrival...

 

Author's Response:

Hi TeriAnn,

still playing catch up. I was busy working on chapter 62, so I let the replies lag for a few days. Glad you liked the EPOV--I always love that best. I'm sure his thoughts to delay his premature arrival/detonation were quite effective. Especially the part where Charlie is levelling a gun at him sees like it would have done the trick. ;)

Glad you liked the song too. I appreciate you all waiting sooooooo long. ;)

Thanks for the review.

I think the sex was the best because you waited for it. I was a little worried when I saw that this would be the same thing in Edward's pov, but I didn't need to be. You didn't repeat you just added to it. It's so romantic that he put all of this thought into it. I also love that they each experienced something with the sex that they haven't ever experienced with any other partner before. That really helps with the whole soul mate thing. Once again, my compliments to the author.

Author's Response:

Hi there!

I'm glad you see the point of me waiting all that time for them to have sex. And the other thing is, they've only been dating for about 2 weeks, one of which Bella spent sick and with her period. So, I don't think they really dawdled around. I didn't want Bella to feel at all like a Ho. ;)

I try not to be repetitive when I give the EPOV of a situation. I think it's interesting sometimes to get both of their views of the same situation. And I like to get his crazy ultra-candid thoughts. ;)

I wanted them both to get something new out of this sexual relationship that they didn't have before, so I hope that was believable. Edward and Tanya might not have had a lot of opportunity as high school kids, and might not have had much knowledge about what they were doing, or how to make it great, but Bella and Jake would probably have had more experiences, but I still think things like that are possible. Especially with Edward...you just know sex has to be outstanding. ;)

Thanks for the compliments regarding chapter 61. Hope you enjoy chapter 62. Sorry this has taken a bit.

it is so hard to believe it has only been 5 weeks for these two...they have grown so much as people already...as individuals and as a couple..seems like they have been together for months if not years!

Author's Response:

I know...It's not really very realistic, but maybe if you'd met your perfect match, the one with whom you were destined to spend your life, your eternity...then I gusss it could happen, right?

It's probably a good thing, because you know how wordy I am. Imagine if this realtionship were in its 10th week...You'd be reading chapter 122 about now. ;)

Thanks for the review.

Hi L!

I've been incognito, but I've still been reading your awesome story(I loved the last four chapters by the way)...You should know I'd never abandon you; I luvs ya too much!  =)

This was a fabulous chapter, you've outdone yourself...I teared up a bit, giggled a bit, rolled my eyes at Edward's silliness a bit, and got heated up a bit...It was perfect, so utterly romantic, with exactly the right amount of silly for them...I Loved it  xoxo

Author's Response:

Hi 1918EC!

Thanks for checking back in. Sorry I'm slow to reply. I've been working on chapter 62, just got it posted and now I'll play catch up with reviews for a few days.

Thanks for the storylove, chapterlove and authorlove.

I'm glad you love the mix I've created. I like the ease of their relationship: the steamy, the romantic, the sweet and the silly. Heck, I'd date them!

Thanks for the review.
