Oh Bee!

Simply amazing chapter! Gem has a great ninght with Sarah and Ally, all the while thinkin' about and textin' Rob. And might sexy texts, too! I think that if there hadn't been so many people around things may have gone further than just the words...hmmmm?

I worry a bit about the girls bein' so loud bandyin' Robs name around. Someone could have heard them. Even Gem looked around anxiously at the last! And the cab driver, could he have been tryin' to hear what was goin' on?

No condom sex *sigh* only the best way! I hope that Gemma's pill does the job. They sometimes fail, as do condoms. Only you know what will happen there.

The love, spoken and unspoken, between these two is beautiful. Now that they are bein' totally free with one another. Loved Rob's openin' up abput how he feels about his life and sayin' "Things have seemed a lot calmer since I've met you, Gem. I feel like I'm moving through life at a regular pace again. And it feels great." He ran a finger along my cheek. "My life's better with you in it."   How awesome and livin' is that! He really needs her steadyin' infuence.

I hope that it stays that way after they're "found out" It's gonna be hard for Gem and Rob's gonna have to reassure he continually. What will happen when she returns to school. Will she have probs with the admins about her relationship with Rob? So many things to question!

Darlin', I'm better, still havin' trouble stayin' on the 'puter for long periods of time. I'm still so far behind on my fav updates. Your's and a few others always take priority!

So, now I'm anxious for the next update and MORE PLEASE! Thanks for such an awesme story with such amazin' characters! You blow me away with each susequent chapter!

Love you, sweetie!

Hey Ellen,

You leave such lovely reviews, thank you! Honestly, I love hearing from you and really appreciate you taking the time to write such detailed, fabulous reviews - especially when you're still not very well! I'm glad you're feeling better though. Take it easy! *hugs*

So glad you enjoyed the chapter. It got pretty raunchy there for a while, didn't it!? ;) 

Ooh, yep... Rob and Gemma's sexting got pretty hot! I'm with you - I think things definitely would have progressed further if other people weren't around. We don't know Rob's POV of course, but I think he was already going there, don't you!? He was lying in bed, alone... hmm. Suspicious!! Hehee.

I know, the girls were a bit drunk and silly, throwing Rob's name around a bit too easily. But then... if you heard three girls talking about having sex with Robert Pattinson, would you really believe them? I wouldn't! I'd probably just roll my eyes and tell them to join the line! And the cab driver? Naaah, he didn't know who she was talking to, it was okay! They're safe for now. :)

*whispers* Yes, Gemm's pill does the job! I always maintained this would not be a baby story. Hehee. They're 24, fun and young. It's just not. I hope that's okay!

Aww, I like the words from Rob you quoted. He really loves Gemma, and can't help but blurt out his feelings for her - and vice versa. She definitely instills a sense of calm over him.

That being said, there are definitely a lot of things to question. How will their relationship go once more people know about it? A little bit of that pops up in the next two chapters, actually. But don't worry... Gemma going back to school is a long way off yet! She still has most of her summer vacation to go!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ellen. I'm so happy you're still enjoying the story!

LOVE this story!! and this chapter, whew! don't really know what to say except hard and fast is sometimes good...really good :-)

This is my first review ever and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your writing talent with us.  I stop whatever I'm doing to enjoy this story.  You write with such ease and realness in your characters. The story flows beautifully. Keep up great work and thanks for sharing links for spotty shoes and lacey dresses!!

Author's Response:

Hi Conlynsmom,

Wow, I'm so flattered that this is your first review ever! Thank you so much, you're lovely! Great to hear you're loving the story. It's lots of fun to write - especially this chapter! ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying the little visuals like spotty shoes and lacey dresses. They're just fun little additions, really!

There's plenty more Rob and Gemma to come - I've already written up to Chapter 45 - so make sure you stick around! I'd love to hear what you think of the rest of the chapters too. :)

Thanks again!

-SwimmingBee

I love the idea of Handyman Rob in nothing but a toolbelt nailing me with his hammer.

Author's Response:

Hahahaaa! That's hilarious!! :)

Thanks so much for continuing to read and review... and for making me giggle at your fabulous comment! Classic!

-SwimmingBee

This was reeeeeeeeeeeeally hoooooot ! 

WOW!!! I have to snap out off it and quick...my God!!!Give me some Rob,too  please....

Just perfect!

 

Author's Response:

Haha! Thanks so much, perfect Rob!

I'm guessing you might have meant to leave a review for the latest chapter instead of Chapter 1? Chapter 1 was fun, but I don't know if it was quite up to Chapter 18's standard of hotness! Hehee!

Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it! There's plenty more to come!

-SwimmingBee

Wow, amazing, fantastic, hot, incredible. Yeah, probably should have waited a while between reading this chapter and posting a review because 'bloody hell!' is still the dominant thought in my head!

Really looking forward to the 'Water for Elephants' set visit, I mean really, REALLY!

In the mean time

Wow, amazing, fantastic, hot, incredible, bloody hell.....

Author's Response:

Hi joss, 

Thanks so much for your lovely review! I loved your "Bloody hell" comment so much that I used it in the author's notes of the next chapter! Hope that's okay!

I'm glad you didn't wait until you reviewed, because your dominant thoughts were exactly what Rob and Gemma were feeling, so that's a good thing! :)

The next chapter shouldn't be too far away. Yep, it's all about the Water for Elephants set visit! It doesn't quite go exactly as Gemma imagined... I'll leave it at that! Hehee.

Thanks again!

-SwimmingBee

 

 

I loved that we had hot sexy Gemma taking control sex and then sloppy just waking up sex (one of my faves!).

hmmm I don't know if they can hold out and not see each other. For some reason when everything is going so well I think something is going to happen...running into Aaron perhaps? I hope not. 

Anyway, I absolutely love this story! 

 

 

Author's Response:

Hi pearlgem,

Yay, so happy you're still loving the story! Thank you! :)

It was definitely a pretty hot chapter... although maybe the next chapter got even hotter! Gemma really did take control in this one... Which is maybe why she wanted Rob to take over in the next chapter. And that he did! Hehee.

Things are going pretty well at the moment, aren't they? They're definitely still in their happy little "beginning of the relationship" bubble. I wonder how long that will last. Aaron, you say? Hmmm, you never know. ;)

Thanks so much for another lovely review!

-SwimmingBee

Wow, love the apartment, I'd love to live there.  I can't believe Tom turned up at just the wrong time, aarrrgggghhhh I feel the tension beginning to rise again *paces back and forth.*  Will Gemma do some paintings for Rob's home?  I love Sarah she is a fabulous friend and now she has a sexy man of her own - go Sarah.  I'm looking forward to the next chapter.  Jane x

Author's Response:

I kinda love Rob's apartment too now! I chose those photos originally because it seemed overly opulent and a bit bland... but now that I've been writing about their adventures there, it's really become more fun and cosy! And I know, bloody Tom! Augh!

Well now, I think you already know the answer to your question about Gemma doing paintings for Rob's home. You're too quick for me, sorry! But yes, Sarah is a fabulous friend. She and Gemma have known each other forever and have been through a lot. :)

See you at the next chapter! Thank you!

-SwimmingBee

I think Rob really is falling for Gemma, but he wants her to keep the date with Daniel so that 'if' she chooses Rob she will never wonder 'what if' at some time later.  She's already told Rob that she doesn't feel the same things with Daniel that she does with him.  I think Rob also has to know that Gemma chose him for himself over Daniel and not because he is Robert Pattinson, in a way she has already demonstrated that she is making an informed decision by not breaking the earlier cinema & dinner date with Daniel, thereby (in my eyes at least) showing that she is not some flaky fan, *phew.*  Does all that make sense?

Anyway I love Gemma's mum and dad, they have very wise advice, especially for someone as shallow as me who would have dumped Daniel on the Saturday, but hey, its Robert Pattinson and I know I would never, ever regret that - LOL.  Jane x

 

Author's Response:

Hey Jane,

Wow, I'm still in awe that you read every chapter and reviewed every single one too! You're amazing! Thank you so much! That must have taken such a long time, and I truly appreciate it. I've loved hearing your thoughts along the way. :)

Your thoughts on Rob and Daniel totally made sense. Now that you've read on, you know exactly what became of it so it's a bit tricky to reply properly, but you were definitely right in that Rob wanted Gemma to make an informed choice between them. She definitely did that by choosing Rob... he just tried to persuade her otherwise for a while, before realising he couldn't do it!

Gemma's Mum and Dad are great. We'll get to meet them soon enough, and so will Rob. Ooh la la! And I'm still with you - I totally would have dumped Daniel with the dimples for Rob too. Hehee.

Thanks again!

-SwimmingBee

Alcohol certainly makes Gemma a brave girl, would she be quite as brave without it?  She needs to give it a try, she can't be drunk every time she sees Rob. I think Rob is trying a bit of the old reverse psychology, by telling her to go and see Daniel, knowing that Gemma has already told him that she feels nothing when Daniel kisses her, that Gemma will make her own mind up and end things with Daniel because he can't compare to Rob and Daniel (which isn't fair) must feel more like a friend than a potential boyfriend.   Jane x

Author's Response:

Hiya Jane,

Yep, alcohol certainly makes Gemma braver. Don't worry, she won't be drunk every time she sees Rob! None of the characters are about to get dragged off to rehab... They're just 24 and on summer vacation! :)

I like your reverse psychology theory about Rob and Daniel. He definitely confused Gemma a bit, didn't he? She doesn't know what to make of Rob telling her to still go on her date with Daniel. All will be revealed in the next few chapters...!

Thanks again Jane! Loving your reviews!

-SwimmingBee

Awwww snuggling on the sofa.  How funny are Marcus and Bobby? Typical lads.  It's a good job things didn't carry on in the pool, or they would have been caught by those girls. I sense there may be some awkwardness when they wake up but I hope the get over it quickly and that Rob gets Gemma's number, he has already intimated that he looks at this fledgling relationship as becoming long term.  Jane x

Author's Response:

Hi Jane,

Aww, yay for sofa snuggles! Rob is definitely giving off the "long term relationship" vibe, isn't he? Gemma doesn't quite believe it as yet - she's still a bit overwhelmed and awestruck. Marcus and Bobby were fun to write - yep, as you said, they're really all just typical lads!

Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

-SwimmingBee

Ok, so I'm ignoring Daniel, as far as I'm concerned he's gone, he's the safe option for Gemma but do you really want to opt for safe when you can have toe curling excitement.....nah, you're gonna go for the excitement, right.  The sexual tension between these two, Rob and Gemma, is fair jumping off the page, luckily I don't have to wait for an update so it's onwards and upwards, see you at the end of the next chapter.  Jane x

Author's Response:

Hi Jane,

You're so right - Daniel is definitely the safe option. Gemma doesn't want to get hurt again and Daniel is so stable and nice. But then... there's Rob!! Whew. It's really not a choice at all, is it!? ;)

Yay for sexual tension! So great to hear you're enjoying the story so far.

Thank you!

-SwimmingBee

I love Gemma's verbal vomit and her shyness, it's just how I would imagine someone to behave when confronted with one of your 'idols.' -LOL  Jane x

Author's Response:

Hey Jane,

There's definitely lots of verbal vomit in this story! Hehee. Gemma is quite shy, but there's a quiet strength in there too. So glad you're enjoying the story!

Thanks for reading! :)

-SwimmingBee

Hey Bee,

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I've been in the hospital the past week. Better now and have been tryin' to catch up!

I love this chapter! So full of love and gentleness. A truely gettin' to know each other and not just physically! But, that was the majority of it. They learned how to touch and where and to caress and to simply love. They learned about their likes and dislikes They learned to be totally open with each other and their love was made stronger and deeper.

The next few hours are goin' to be hard on them, but it'll be a small test of what it might be like in the future. He'll be gone a lot and the school year will eventually begin. Lots of things to consider for the future.

So, sweetie, tell us some MORE PLEASE! Lookin' forward to the girl's night out, and how Rob will occupy his time! I just adore your Rob and Gemma! They are the perfect pair. Not that their life will be perfec, but it will be stong! 

Thanks for such a beautifully written piece, Bee!

Love ya,

Ellen xx 

Author's Response:

Hi Ellen,

Oh no, sorry to hear you spent the past week in the hospital. That's awful! I hope everything is okay now. I'm glad you got to kick back and catch up with updates. :) 

So great to hear you enjoyed the chapter. Rob and Gemma are definitely in their happy little new-relationship bubble, aren't they? Your comments were lovely - it really was a chapter about exploring and getting to know each other, both physically and otherwise. Gemma's definitely surprising herself more and more in regards to what comes out of her mouth sometimes! It must be Rob's lack of verbal filter rubbing off on her!

Ooh yes, we'll find out how they go being apart for a night in the next chapter. Girls' night, yay! It's a big, fun chapter - and a bit raunchy too! I love that you adore Rob and Gemma. I do too, so it's lovely to hear when others do as well!

Thanks for another wonderful, thoughtful review, Ellen. I hope you're feeling better!
