OMG, I’m officially freaking out!  I know that I whined and whined last chapter about Gemma allowing Robert to escort her to the party, but is it too late for me to change my mind?  Gemma feeling that something bad is going to happen during the party really resonated with me and now I’m an absolute basket case over it.  Oh, Bee, how could you leave us with that party cliffie :( so mean!  Now I’m going to obsess over this till your next update!  I have this God awful feeling that Aaron will somehow find a way to put a damper on their night.  Is he really in Las Vegas?  I keep thinking that he is going to make a surprise appearance at the party.  Don’t get me wrong…I would LOVE for him to be there to see Gemma happy with somebody else.  Heck, to see her happier than she ever was with his sorry ass.  I will get a lot of enjoyment out of him either seeing it firsthand and/or hearing about it from somebody else.  I’m squealing at the very thought! Okay, okay, I’ll stop whining now :) Have I mentioned yet, how much I loved the chapter? Excellence personified as always.   The shopping trip with Sarah was a huge hit! The visit to Victoria’s was awesome.  I love their cotton undies.  LOL, I’m a huge fan of their 5 for $25 and 3 for $30 dollar underwear deals :) Anyway, I can’t wait for Gemma to model the new lingerie for Robert.  I hope he remembers to tell her how sexy she looks in it, but also make it a point to say that she didn’t have to dress up for him because he finds her beautiful all of the time.  I loved that she brought the lingerie and took the time to find something that suited her personality, and the spotty shoes! 

I breathe a huge sigh of relief after reading Rob and Gemma’s conversation where they revisited the whole party thing.  I was very anxious about it.  I really was convinced that Robert would have a negative reaction to her non acquiescence over his desire to attend the party.  I’m sooooo happy that he invalidated my fears, and didn’t revert to the asshole side of his personality. So big ups to Robbie for remaining calm.  However, I did notice where he hinted at her having ulterior motives for not wanting to take him to the party, but she handled it perfectly.  Strangely enough, I found myself really enjoying Gemma’s conversation with Max.  I’ll tell you no lie….I was already prepared to dislike him;  solely based on the fact that he is Aaron’s best friend and you know how much I detest him.  Max really seems to be a decent guy thus far.  He gave me the impression that he disapproved of the manner in which Aaron treated Gemma, and was genuinely happy that she seems to have moved on to a more deserving person. Speaking of Max…he seems to have that bad boy image that Sarah finds so very desirable….Yes, yes, I’m forever match making :)  My top choices for Sarah still remains to be Bobby Long, and/or Daniel though.  No offense but, Max has that Aaron stigma attached to him.  I LMAO @ Robert using the word “shag” instead of fuck!  You have no idea how much I HATE that word, LOL.  Austin Power’s ruined the word for me!  Robert is British and I completely understand why you used it, but there is something inherently sexier in Robert using the word “fuck” as opposed to “shag”.  I most likely feel this way because of my dislike of the word “shag”, LOL!  Let me share some of my favorite British slang with you : chips for fries, barmy for crazy, bloke for guy,  git for Aaron, wanker for Aaron, sod for Aaron, fag for cigarettes LOL, knackered for tired, tosser for Aaron, etc…  LOL, Rob could use a combination in addressing Aaron, he could say “Sod off you git.”  I’m having way too much fun with this :)

Do you know what my favorite part of this chapter was?  You’ll never guess…Okay, okay I’ll tell you!  It was the events that occurred in the beginning of the chapter.  Gemma’s telephone conversation with Robert’s mother Clare and Gemma speaking to her parents about Robert.  Loved that she made her mother Goggle him, and her mother’s reaction to it was hilarious.  It’s really excellent that her parents are coming to meet him.  I can’t wait for Gemma to meet Robert’s immediate family members.  I just know that they are all going to absolutely adore her.  How can they not?  His appreciation for the effort she put into getting the photographs to decorate his apartment was very sweet and apparent.  I really think it meant more to him than anything else that she might have purchased for him.  I loved your usage of the word “reverent”, how they made love reverently.  The sleepy Gemma picture was also a nice touch.  It was very intimate in a way.  The perfect choice to go on his bedside table.  When she is feeling down about herself, I hope she remember that his favorite picture of her, is her laying in bed first thing in the morning, completely natural without a bit of makeup on.  I awed when Gemma told Robert’s mother that “They take care of each other” So very sweet!

You did an excellent job showcasing Robert’s cluelessness for all things fashion.  I loved it!  Due to the fact that he is this huge movie star, I often find myself forgetting how awkward, clueless, and adorable he is at dressing himself :)  I know, I know….I’m a huge hypocrite for finding Robert’s ineptitude at dressing himself adorable while I mock Kristen Stewart for having the same problem!  My only excuse is that Robert is a guy and looks great in absolutely anything, while she is a girl and should just take more pride in her appearance.  Complete double standard I know, but oh well.  I loved Robert helping Gemma with her shoes, LOL.  Rob and Sarah were hilarious as always.  I don’t know how I feel about her dumping Ben yet though.  It was very sweet of Gemma to get Robert to give Luke the day after the party off.  Excellent chapter, Bee.

Favorite lines

"We look after each other."

We were so used to being totally honest with each other, that anything else felt completely wrong.

"Well, fuck. They must have some been pretty amazing shoes. But then, I highly doubt it really was the shoes. I'm sure it was more about the cuteness that is you, Gemma.”

"You look fucking hot tonight, Abercrombie and Fitch girl."

"Exactly. Now come into your bedroom and show me your shoe choices."
  "Because I'm your boyfriend, and you're worried about it. Because I want to be there for you. And because we should be allowed to go to parties together if we want to."

"Rob," I warned. "Don't be silly. Of course I want to take you. But I just worry it'll be a big hassle for you. And honestly, maybe a little part of me is scared to introduce them all to my new boyfriend. Whoever it was, I'd still be nervous. They're a group of friends from my childhood. They've only ever seen me with Aaron. So I guess I'm a bit nervous about that too."

We made love that night, slowly and gently. Full of respect and adoration for each other. He couldn't stop whispering how much he loved me and how beautiful I was. We came together with him inside me, quietly and almost reverently.

"Come on," Sarah smiled. "Let me take a photo of you both. You'll like it. I promise I won't sell it to TMZ."

Till next time, Kari

P.S. I hope Lola shows up for the party! She sounds like a majorly fake, condescending bitch!  LOVE Gemma's dress!



Author's Response:

Hi Kari!

Oooh, sorry for making you freak out! Maybe you need a nice little visit from Rob to calm you down, too!? ;)

No, it's not too late to change your mind about not going to the party. Gemma didn't want to go either, but Rob changed her mind... again. I'm sorry for leaving you with a cliffie! I think you're going to be even madder at me at the end of the next chapter, because that's an even bigger cliffie. Eeeek! Just keep breathing, you'll be okay! :)

Aside from all that though, I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter. Sarah and Gemma definitely had a fun shopping trip - especially to Victoria's Secret! We don't have Victoria's Secret here in Australia so I don't know anything about their underwear deals, but it sounds fun! And if you really love Gemma's dress, you could maybe still buy it in Abercrombie & Fitch - I pinched it straight off their website! Hehee. We don't have A & F here either. Boooo. Anyway, I'm sure Rob will appreciate Gemma in her spotty corset. It doesn't take much to get him fired up when it comes to Gemma, so imagine what will happen when she actually dresses for him on purpose! Woo, look out!

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better about their whole party conversation now. When he suggested that she might have ulteriour motives for not wanting to take him, Gemma simply rolled her eyes and brushed him aside. Heh. And no, he didn't get offended or revert to his old jealous streak... He knew exactly what she was freaking out about and knew just how to calm her down. Aww.

Yes, Max is a nice guy, don't worry! He just happens to have a nasty best friend. He totally disapproves of what Aaron did to Gemma, and he looks out for her, in a way. He's being helpful about Rob and the party, even if he is slightly amused by the fact that she's dating the vampire from Twilight. I'm a bit in love with Max actually, even though he's hardly in the story. Hehee! I love that you're trying to matchmake again! Sarah and Max, hehee! They all grew up together, so that might be slightly odd, but you never know! (Well yes you do, because I just told you he's hardly in the story. Hehee.)

As for the word 'shag'... I totally put that in because a British reader suggested Rob might say 'shag' occasionally instead of 'fuck'. But oh no, now it reminds me of Austin Powers too! Ew! Rob doesn't speak completely British in my story though, because he's living in the US at the time and he has an American girlfriend. Plus, I've never heard him say things like "git" anyway. Hehee. I work very hard to keep my Australian-isms out of it, too! We call underwear "knickers" as well, so my poor betas are constantly changing it to "underwear" or the dreaded "panties"! Hehee.

Aww, I love that you loved the beginning of the chapter with the parental chats. Poor Rob was more embarrassed than Gemma, I think! We'll see how that all goes when her parents arrive for a visit. It's definitely getting serious now that the parents are involved! ;) Yep, Rob certainly appreciated all the effort Gemma went to in organizing the photos for him. Aww. That being said, I think he would love anything she organized for him! Spotty lingerie included. Hehee. Your comment about her remembering that his favorite photo of her sits on his bedside table was very sweet. You made me "aww!"

Hehee, poor Rob and his no fashion sense! I tend to think he's just a typical guy and doesn't care less about his clothes. I don't think Kristen has a bad fashion style necessarily - just different to mine (and Gemma's!). And I know, poor Ben! He liked her too much, so Sarah's not keen anymore. Whoops! He definitely wasn't bad enough for her. But they were never really a "couple" as such, they just hooked up occasionally. He'll be okay!

A great selection of favorite lines, as always! I like Max's line the best, about doubting that Rob really did just like her shoes when they first met. It's quite telling and Rob says something similar waaaaay down the line! As for Lola, don't worry. She gets hers in the next chapter. :)

Thanks so much for another amaaaazing review! You continue to astound me with your thoughtful comments! You rock!

PS. There's a teaser up on the forums - a little sneak peek into the craziness that is Max's party!

Ooooh Gemma got to speak with mamma Pattinson and managed to get some family photos for Rob, awwww, and even better he loved his gift and the time that Gemma put into it for him.   I love the corset that Gemma's bought, Rob is going to burst a blood vessel when he sees her in that.  I hope the party goes well and Gemma doesn't have another mini freak out, I'm not sure that Rob would be able to calm her down in the same way as he did at the apartment, lol.  Can't wait for the next chapter.  Jane x



Author's Response:

Hi Jane,

Thanks so much for another lovely review - and the stars too!

Yep, parents are involved now! It must be getting serious. Hehee. Rob certainly loved his gift of the photos Gemma has organised - although something tells me he would love anything she gave him! Spotty corsets included, perhaps. I laughed at your comment of Rob bursting a blood vessel when he sees her in the lingerie! He's pretty easy to please when it comes to Gemma, so imagine when she actually dresses up (or down, as the case may be...) especially for him! Whew! ;) 

We'll find out how the party goes in the next chapter. Haha, you're so right though - Rob won't be able to calm her down in the same way as he did in the apartment! Let's hope she doesn't freak out then, shall we?!

Thanks Jane!

Awww!  Rob's told Mrs P about Gemma!  So very telling, as Clare indeed indicated!  And Mrs P thinks she's lovely!  Of course she does... we all do!  It's so lovely how Rob's parents are with her.  It just shows how much he's talked about her. 

Oh! Naughty but sweet Rob and his early morning post-naughties photo's!  I really enjoyed reading that.  Such a simple thing, but yet it shows so much. He's totally enamoured.

I adore how Gemma does all these cute little things for Rob - like the photos.  She really does look out for him, and genuinely wants to make him happy.  She is truly quite lovely!  And she rendered him speechless! 

Do you know what I love most about these two?  Their unconditional honesty with one another.  Everything they say, even if they get embarrassed by it, they just say exactly what they think and mean.  Gorgeous.

He really wouldn't give up on the party, would he?  I want to believe him for the reasons he says, I do, I think he means them - but I can't help wondering if caveman Rob is in the background too! And why not?  And oh, what I'd do to build sandcastles with that man!

I can understand Gemma's apprehension about the party. It sounds like things have been quite wild in the past, and she knows these people, knows what to expect from them.  I  do hope they'll be okay!

Oh, I'm trying to narrow down this review but it's hard!!  I loved the girlie shopping trip!  Yes!

The naughties....Yep, I so thudded.  My favourite bit.  The visual of Rob when Gemma pushed down his jeans and his ‘That'll do' line.  Ohhhhhh!  For some reason that did all kinds of things to me!  Growly grumbly Rob.  Grrrrr!  

Fantastic! Marvellous!  Splendiferous!   xx



Author's Response:

Hi Duders,

Wow, what a fabulously long review! Thanks so much!

Glad you enjoyed the parental chats. I think Rob was more embarrassed than Gemma, actually! We'll see how it all goes when her parents meet Rob when they come to visit in a few chapters' time. :)

He definitely appreciated the photos she organised for him, didn't he? Although something tells me that he'd love anything she did for him... Spotty lingerie included! As you said, he really is enamoured with her. And she's just as enamoured with him, too. Aww. And yep, they've always been honest with each other. He has a tendency to blurt anything out without thinking and she just can't quite help it around him! That's really part of the reason they work so well together - their complete honesty with each other.

Ooh, the party! You still have your suspicions! Maybe Caveman Rob is hiding behind there somewhere... He wants to go to the party with his girlfriend, as a real couple, and meet all of her and Aaron's friends. I guess that's a bit caveman-ish, even if he's not really aware of it. I put a little teaser up on the forums... it gives us a little hint of just how wild Max's parties tend to get!

Hehheee. I'd quite like to build sandcastles with him too! I think he'd get bored after three minutes though. Actually, so would I. Heh!

You thudded again! Aw! I love that you always pick out little visual moments that nobody else seems to - like the "That'll do" line. That was definitely growly, grumbly Rob coming out to play. :)

Thanks so much for all your lovely words, Duders! You rock! x

Hi Sareenna,

The photos definitely went down well, didn't they? Although something tells me Rob would appreciate anything Gemma did for him... Spotty corsets included! ;)

I loved your comment about seeing a great relationship building. They're definitely getting closer all the time, and more in tune with each other. And now their parents know all about it, too. Certainly getting stronger.

The party is next, I promise! Fun times ahead!

So - I had a huge long review ready and then my dumb Internet crashed!

Anyway - I KNEW that the garter was spotty! YAY spotty shoes! I can't wait to see what Rob thinks of the whole getup!  Go Gemma girl!

The party - poor Gemma.  I hope that it goes off without a hitch and that she can have fun and be relaxed with Rob.  And, I seriously hope Aaron doesn't randomly show up... Aaron with his scratchy Vegas voice. *hmph* 

I love love love Rob and Sarah's relationship - that is exactly how a best friend and a boyfriend should be, no matter how famous he is!

And oh, the agony of talking to Mom for the first time. ;) 

Love Gemma's picture idea - and love how you wrote Rob's feelings about it. So thoughtful of her! 

Spectacular as always, Bee!

xoxoxoxo



Author's Response:

Hi again, 

I got two reviews from you! Yay! Thanks! I don't know what happened... Maybe your computer crashed but still sent the other one!?

Bwah, ha! Aaron with the scratchy Vegas voice! I'd actually written this chapter aaaaaages before I ever saw that YouTube video. Aaron really is in Vegas instead of coming to Max's party, and then there he was on the video, saying he'd just been to Vegas! Hehee. Weird.

Glad you liked Gemma's picture idea. It turned out well, huh!? Although I have a feeling Rob would love anything she did for him. Spotty corsets included. ;)

Thanks so much, Mandy! Times two!

YAY! I KNEW that corset was going to be worn with the spotty shoes! Hooray!  Oh, I so can't wait to find out what Rob thinks!  

Loved Max's reaction to finding out that Gemma is dating Rob... and I also love that he's being kind and taking care of them.  I hope that, for Gemma's sanity, that the party is smooth and goes off without a hitch. 

Also, I love Sarah and Rob's relationship - that's how a best friend and boyfriend should be, whether he's famous or not.

Spectacular, Bee!  Can't wait for the next!

xoxoxoxo



Author's Response:

Hi Mandy,

Yay for the corset and spotty shoes! I think Rob's going to be quite enjoy them, don't you? You are the queen of the spotty shoes, after all! Or is Gemma the queen and you're the princess? Hehee, whatever! ;)

Oooh, the party is coming up next! Max is nice, he just has a nasty best friend. Hehee. He's definitely taking care of them, even if he is still slightly amused that she's dating the dude from Twilight!

Sarah and Rob are fun to write... There's a bit of unwritten tension between them because they're both quite protective of Gemma, but they still get along well, which is nice! 

Thanks so much for your kind words! Glad you're still enjoying the story!

Author's Response:

Hey Kathy,

Glad you liked the pictures! And as you said, of course Rob will love her naughty lingerie. Hehehee. He's pretty easy to please when it comes to Gemma. ;)

You're right... something will happen at the party! Good or bad, my lips are sealed! (I'm bad at keeping secrets, just like Rob.)

So happy you're still enjoying the story. Thanks so much!

Hey Bee!

Loved it loved it loved it! Such a great chapter! Beginnin' with the talks with the 'rents and endin' with awesome lovin' before the party!

Loved the way Gemma's mother reacted after she Googled Rob and Clare's insistance in talkin' to Gemma. And, Rob buryin' his face in Gem's sholder in embarrassment tickled me! I could just "see" it!

Gemma's surprise of the framed pictures for the apartment was perfect! The way she included Marcus, Clare and Sarah in the gift, so sweet! And the sweet gentle love makin' after totally thudworthy!

I can understand Gem's anxiety over takin' Rob to Max's birthday party. She's afraid for him, doesn't want to cause him any problems, but she's also nervous about this bein' the first time she introduces Rob to her old friends...the ones that know Aaron. Talkin' to Max was smart.

The shoppin' and lunch with Sarah helped ease her mind some and let the girls have some time together. And the trip to Victoria's Secret...hmmmm Fun time for Rob ahead! lol.

Rob is so in tune to Gem that he knew right away that she was freakin' out about the party and he knew just how to relax her.  "Well," he shrugged. "I really just wanted to get into your pants, but there's that too." hehehe!

Loved Sarah's comeback when Rob saw her changin' "Oh, fuck off," Sarah brushed him aside. "You've got two sisters. I'm sure you can handle it."

And, now they're off tt the party and I can't wait to see what happens! So, darlin' bring us MORE PLEASE, asap!

This is such a happy story to read! It always makes me smile when I see an update from you! Thanks for that, Bee. I really need this happy place sometimes!

Gonna be gone for a week...to a GTG with 25 other Twilight lovin' ladies. So if you update before I get back, don't fret, I'll catch up!!

Love ya, sweetie!

Author's Response:

Hi Ellen,

Wow, another lovely, thoughtful review from your kind self - thank you! I'm so pleased you're still enjoying the story. :)

Gemma's mother definitely got a bit of a shock after she googled Rob, didn't she!? Hehee. They come for a visit soon so we'll see how that all goes. And yep, Rob certainly appreciated Gemma's gift of the photos. She was nervous about it, but really had no reason to be! He'd love anything she did for him, really.

I'm glad you understood her anxiety about taking Rob to the party. Lots of readers were bamboozled by her reaction, but she was just overwhelmed at the thought of introducing her new boyfriend to the people who knew Aaron, as you said. Plus, he's Robert Pattinson so she's worried for him as well. It could potentially lead to their relationship being leaked to the media and that's a big step.

But you're right - Rob is so in tune with her that he knew immediately how to calm her down when she was freaking out. She just needed her Rob! Aww. And then he made her giggle about it afterwards and she was fine. Good for him! The party is coming up next, I promise! 

Hehee, yep - some fun times for Rob ahead for sure, after her Victoria's Secret shopping trip! ;)

I just love that this story makes you smile! That was always the point of writing the story - to make a fun, girly story about nice people. There's some bumps along the way of course, but primarily, it's pretty upbeat. I'm so glad it gives you a happy place!

Ooh, what's a GTG? Sounds intriguing! With 25 other Twilight loving ladies!? Sounds fun, whatever it is!! I hope you had a wonderful time!

Hi Sam,

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Ooh, sorry about the cliffie. Don't worry, the party is coming up next! I've already submitted it... Hopefully it won't be too far away. :)

Great to hear you enjoyed the chapter, as well as the pictures she gave Rob. He liked them too!

More soon, I promise!

Another great chapter!

Loved the phone conversation with Clare -- seems Rob has been talking about Gemma.  And Gemma handled it so well.  How long before they meet face-to-face?

Rob's surprise and  warm feelings really came thru when he opened the pictures -- Gemma is a smart girl. 

The teasing, relaxing sex really tempered her -- but I think Rob needed this also.  Now they are ready for the party. 

Can't wait for next chapter -- confrontations at the party and maybe sexy lingerie --- ooooohhhhhh.

Very well written -- but you alway do -- thank you so much.

Thanks so much for another lovely review, emozing! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :)

Gemma's conversation with Clare went very well, didn't it? You're right - it seems Rob must have been discussing her with his parents another time, aww! As for meeting face-to-face? That's a bit of a tricky question to answer actually, so I shall keep my lips sealed so I don't spoil anything!

Rob really appreciated the photos Gemma organized for him - lovely! They're definitely becoming more and more aware of each other's needs, so he knew exactly what would help to relax her before the party. And yep, Rob definitely needed it too. Very perceptive! Gemma doesn't realize that until the next chapter.

The next one shouldn't be too far away! It's party time! :)

Thanks again!

So hot! I really love them and get sad when you don't update every other day, what you are supposed to have a life? :)

Sex was hot, I'm curious as to why Rob said 'kind of' serious girlfriend.  If that had been me I would probably become a bit upset. 

Anyway can't wait for the next chapter!

 



Author's Response:

Hi pearlgem,

Aw, sorry for not posting every other day! I know what it's like to really enjoy a story and then have to wait for an update. I've actually written up to Chapter 47 of this story, so there's lots more to come! I can only submit one chapter at a time to Twilighted though. Hopefully the next chapter won't be too far away!

Ooh, I don't think Rob meant anything sinister by saying his relationship with Gemma was "kind of serious". I think he meant it as a good thing... He was probably just a bit nervous telling Nick and Kristen about her. Gemma thought it was sweet, don't worry! :)

Thanks so much for another lovely review!

I fricken love this story! 

Kristen...yeah I honestly don't think they are anything other than friends. I think they get close when filming Twilight but I honestly can't be convinced that they have had sex (yes this is my personal opinion) ever.

 

Nick, I'm thinking he is not going to be happy about this. 

I love the way you write for Rob! And of course for Gemma. I really hope that he has someone like Gemma in real life. 



Author's Response:

Hey pearlgem,

Yay! I love that you love this story! I have lots of fun writing it too. :)

Oooh, Kristen and Rob. Who knows, really!? Certainly not me! Whatever the story though, I hope they're both happy and have fun together - romantically or not.

And Nick! Nick wasn't too bad really, was he? There are so many evil Nick stories out there... I wanted to cut the guy a bit of slack! Hehee!

Thanks so much for continuing to read and review!

So another great, wonderful chapter.. ( I am running out of accolades for you)

I was very surprised and pleased that Rob invited himself to Gemma's friends party, was shocked at her reluctance to bring him...  I get the whole she is worried about people finding out he has a girlfriend but she was thinking about her ex finding out to some degree.... If it were my ex's friends party I would definitly be taking a guy ....... And If I had RobPat!!! I would be strolling(strutting) in that party like (you may have dumped me but look who wants  me!!) Oh yay I would be workin it!!!

I can't wait to see where you are going with the Kristen thing!?!? I still am hoping maybe for a jealous Kristen finding a naked Gemma in his appt. Anyways should be very intrusting with her thinking Rob is not serious about Gemma..

So have a great week!!! Thank you...

Author's Response:

Hi Wendy,

Aw, thanks so much for your lovely words, yet again! You make me blush! :)

Rob can be pretty persistent when he wants to be, can't he? He totally invited himself to Max's party, good for him! As for Gemma, I think she was just completely overwhelmed at the thought of bringing him along. Aaron (her ex) won't be there anyway, so I don't think that was really the issue. It was more that Rob is her first real boyfriend since Aaron, and he wants their first official 'outing' to be at a party full of her ex's friends. I think that would be a pretty difficult thing to do.

I totally get your side of things too though - I'd be totally bring Robert Pattinson along! Hehee!

And oooh, Kristen. I hope you won't be mad when I tell you that the Kristen thing isn't going to be a major issue in this story. I always wrote it as a Rob and Gemma story... not a Kristen story. She really doesn't play a very big part in it. I hope you still decide to stick with Rob and Gemma, even if there's no jealous KStew! Rob had his big talk with her and told her that he was pretty serious with Gemma. We don't know exactly how she took to that news, but probably not very well, considering Rob didn't tell Gemma much about the phonecall at all.

You have a great week too! I'm hoping the next chapter will be up in the next couple of days. :)

Thanks again!

Ahhh!  Rob can't keep secrets!  Why doesn't that surprise me? I love he was all nervous when they arrived at the restaurant.  So Rob...One minute a sex God, the next minute all nerves again!  I can picture him like this. And it's so great to see that they can do something normal like go for dinner together without hassle. Lovely.

"Is it wrong that I just want to fuck you right here on the roof?"  Oh my goodness!  Fanning self here!  Nervy Rob left the building then!

He looked at me purposefully.  "See?"  See, I would've died right there. Flipping heck!

I loved the Facebook interactions.  Eeeek! Aaron!  But Rob - the pussy comment!  If I think about Rob saying ‘pussy' I just get maniacal giggles! 

He's a little unrelenting about the party, isn't he?  Hmmn...Not sure whether that's just Rob wanting to go with Gemma to meet her friends, or if he's being a little territorial.

It was so cute how Rob and Ben had that little exchange about what they'd both gotten into!  So realistic.

Errm, naughty things....yes, indeed!  It's fantastic how bold Gem is with Rob.  Brilliant.  You write their ‘naughty' times beautifully.  Sexy but comfortable - that's how best I can describe it right now.  I'm still reeling from *ahem* oral Rob. 

Fantastic Bee!  Loves ya! Look at all this love you're getting!  It's wonderful, and I'm so pleased to be on this newbie journey with you.  I still feel like a newbie - do you?  Hehee!

Duders xx



Author's Response:

Hi Duders,

Aww, nervous Rob! He definitely has his moments where his nerves get the better of him, and it usually has to do with when he's trying to make a good impression... Gemma going to his apartment for the first time, visiting him on the set, taking her to the restaurant... Yep, nervous Rob definitely shows his face now and then! He also has a bit of a habit of blurting anything and everything out before he thinks about it, hence the "Is it wrong that I just want to fuck you right here on the roof?" question. Hehee. Silly Rob.

Eeeek, Aaron indeed! Rob was on his best behaviour then though, wasn't he? He'd promised Gemma after the Daniel debacle that he would try to control that jealous streak, and he was trying so very hard to be good with the Facebook stuff! Even despite the pussy comment. Hehee. I'd giggle too. And probably faint.

He is a bit unrelenting about the party, you're right. And this is where I love reading reviews! Some people are a bit cross with Gemma for not accepting his offer to take her straight away, and others (like you!) are suspicious of Rob. I'm kind of in between somewhere - I don't think Gemma meant anything sinister by saying no to him; she was just overwhelmed by the thought of it. And as for Rob? I think he's only unrelenting because he wants her to go to the party and have fun without being worried about Aaron stuff. And because he wants to be 'normal' for a night and go to a fun party with her. Hmm. We'll find out what they decide to do in the next chapter!

Sexy but comfortable. That's a lovely way to describe their 'naughty' times! And yay for newbies... until Chapter 30, remember!? You're a bit closer than me!

Thanks so much for your wonderful review. Sorry for my rambling response!
