I do not know who has the bluest balls me or Rob!?!?!? Okay I guess it would be Rob since I do not have any... LOL :-) Great Chapter you know I love to give you a "Hard" time...

 So when is the party Gem's been invited to and is she going to take the "strugglng actor" with her? I am ready for more jealous Rob or maybe you should have Gemma get jealous she has had it way to easy.... *smirking* 

Anyways I have be lurking on forms again I hope you are having or have had a wonderful vacation!!!!

Hope we get a update soon!!! See Ya!

Author's Response:

Haha, Wendy!

Poor Rob and his blue balls. He's okay though, really! He's the one stopping them from continuing, so he only has himself to blame, really. Hehee. They'll get there eventually, you know they will!

Ooh, Max's party? That's a little while away still. It was one of my favorite chapters to write though - actually, it goes for a couple of chapters. Of course Gem totally takes her "struggling actor" boyfriend with her. A lot happens at that party! They've got a bit to get through before the party though.

I'm so glad you're ready for some more jealous Rob... You might like the next chapter then! Or maybe not. Eeek. There's a bit of a bump in the road ahead. If you've been lurking on the forums, you might have seen the teaser already.

And thank you! I did have a wonderful vacation to Thailand. I'm home now though, ready to start work again tomorrow. Waah!

Thanks so much, Wendy!

Gahhhhhhh

Seriously? How lucky is Gemma??? I loved their lazy sunday... And I'm really glad both of them are feeling more comfortable with each other. I really think that Gemma's personality is like a bunch of fresh air for Rob and I'm really hoping that both of them see the good things out of their relationship!!

More soon! pretty please???

PS More Tom... I may have a crush on the guy... it seems that because of him Gemma and Rob are understadning each other even more... What's not to love a guy who cares for his friends so much??!!



Author's Response:

Hey Andie!

Yay, I'm so pleased you liked their lazy Sunday. It was pretty fun, huh? Rob and Gem are definitely getting more and more comfortable with each other. They just get along so well and enjoy being together. I love your thinking - she really is like a breath of fresh air for him, and yes, he's very aware of that. :)

Aw, I love that you have a crush on Tom! His words were really important to Gemma and they definitely took a lot from conversations with him. We'll see more of Tom eventually!

The next chapter won't be far away. I've added a teaser to the forum thread if you want to check it out.

Thanks for another great review!

Great chapter! She really does need to stay away from the vodka and karaoke, but that would be a lot of fun! I was cringing and embarassed for her when she got sick!! How awful!! I'm liking Tom in this story...maybe she should try to hook him up with Sarah. Although that may be a bit much! Great job and I can't wait for the next update!!!



Author's Response:

Hi GRLTRP,

So glad you've caught up with the story. Thanks for reading! I'm so pleased you're enjoying it so far. There's lots more Gemma and Rob to come!

You're right - the vodka and karaoke was never a good idea. Lucky she had Rob there to look after her. :)

Tom and Sarah? Hmm, you never know. Although you're right - it could be a bit much. Other readers were desperately hoping for Sarah and Bobby to hook up. Hehee, I have my plans for Sarah... ;)

The next update shouldn't be too far away. Hope to see you back again soon! Thanks again!

Author's Response:

Hey Lola,

Great to see you and your funny review! Thanks so much! :)

First off, let me say... the next chapter shouldn't be too far away! I submitted it a few days ago so it's in the hands of my lovely beta now. Fingers crossed it should be up soon. So you can stop hyperventilating for your drug! Hehee.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter. It was a fun one to write. You're right - they're both head over heels, but just not quite ready to admit it yet. Almost, but not quite!

Gemma was pretty brave (and drunk) with her karaoke, wasn't she? Rob certainly enjoyed it though. Go Gemma! And yes, there will be LOTS more kissing in the next chapter. :)

I hope your life starts to calm down a bit for you... sounds very hectic! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review!

Until next chapter...

Awwww I love Tom!!!!!  And he commented on the absence of the spotty shoes!  Too cute!

Rob's line - "I was busy."  Mmm-hmmm!  Naughty!

I love how interested Tom was in Gem, and the cooking together?  Lovely!  You have written him so well, I love it!  And when he was watching her with trepidation when she played Rob's guitar!!  Haha!  I adored the visual you gave with Rob sitting back in his chair, drinking his beer, and then noticing Gem looking at him.  That was a panty melting moment! 

So Tom explained a little more to Gem about Rob's feelings of being fucked up, of pushing people away.  I love how he told her not to let him.  Tom obviously knows Gem is good for Rob. 

Gem singing to Rob!  Priceless!  He was all amused and then well....not so amused and something else entirely!  And a rare glimpse into boy talk when Gem was pretending to be asleep.  Gorgeous....

Okay, so I admit.  I wouldn't mind being sick in front of Rob if it meant he rubbed my back like that.  Yep.  I am officially a sick, twisted Duders! 

Ooooh, and the end....maybe?  I think so!! I love the slow burn with these too, it's so beautifully written.  Hope you are enjoying your holiday Bee!  Look forward to catching up on the forum soon!  Mwah!

Duders x



Author's Response:

Hey Duders!

So happy you liked Tom. I know how much of a Tom fan you are, so that means a lot! Especially Tom without his Lily. Aww. But yep, he noticed the absence of the spotty shoes. Those shoes are important! They make another appearance soon. A few, actually. :)

I like all the little moments you highlighted in your review - like the visual of Rob noticing Gemma watching him. Aww. There was definitely some serious sexual tension going on between them that night... bloody Tom! ;)

Hmm, Tom and Gemma's talk on the balcony was a really important one. Tom telling her not to let Rob push her away is something she won't forget in a hurry, despite all the vodka!

I think I'm with you. If it meant Robert Pattinson would sit beside me and rub my back then undress me, ready for bed... I'd make myself sick too. We can be sick and twisted together! Hehee!

So glad you're enjoying the slow burn. In their world, it's really only been just over a week. But for us? It's been forever!! Not long to wait now though. :)

Thanks for all your support and nanas, Duders, and for another lovely review! *hugs*

AAACCCKK you are dragging the Rob/Gemma tryst arent you? :) 

I love to watch others sing karaoke but for myself? Hell no! And I definitely would not want Rob to witness me being sick, but at the same time its a good indicator if the boy stays and helps you with how he truly feels!



Author's Response:

Hey pearlgem,

Aw, I'm not deliberately dragging it out - it's just a gradual progression for these two. I'll give you a clue though... they're getting very close! ;)

I'm with you on the karaoke thing... fun to watch, but not for me! And you're right - if a boy sticks around when you're sick, he must be worth keeping! Gemma found herself a good one, I think. Hehee.

Hey Sweetie!

Wow, I simply loved this fun, romantic and enlightenin' chapter.

Tom is awesome, bein' a true friend that isn't afraid to tell it like it is. He's sweet and kind and loyal. He seems to genuinely like Gemma and approves the way she's changed part of Rob's life. He serious talk with Gemma shows how much he really care about his friend.   "You can't let him, Gemma. He likes you. I really think you're good for him. And you seem to like him a lot, too. You have to be the strong one. You have to not allow him to push you away, if he tries. You have to call him out on it and not let him push you away."  Love him.

Vanilla Vodka and Karaoke! How fun was that! Oh yeah, a sexy little number with a seductive little dance. I'm surprised that Rob didn't just up and take her to the bedroom. But, he's really too polite to do that to Tom ,with Gemma. Maybe some other girl at some other time, but NOT with Gemma.

I'm glad that she got to hear the convo between Rob and Tom. Hope it opens her eyes to how much she really does love Rob. And when he said, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe I am."  I squeed!

Darlin' I love this little tale of your's so very much! You tell it with such honesty and realism. It is soooo lifelike! Thanks for givin' us something' so pleasurable to read!

So, now, when you get home and have settled back into a set routine, I want MORE PLEASE!!

Love ya!

Ellen xx

PS, Any Kellan comin' up? I need that fix, too! lol!!



Author's Response:

Hi Ellen,

So happy you enjoyed the chapter! It was lots of fun to write... with some poignant moments in there too. :)

Yay for Tom! I really believe he is Rob's favorite friend in real life, so I tried to portray that in the story. He's fun and teasing, but he's also very aware that Gemma means a lot to Rob. He knows all about Rob's tendency to distance himself, so good on him for sharing that knowledge with Gemma. Let's hope she's strong enough to deal with it, if the need arises.

Oooh, the vanilla vodka and the karaoke! Lady Gaga, hehee! You know what? I think if Tom wasn't there (laughing hysterically on the couch), Rob probably would have just taken Gemma to the bedroom. They were already there, earlier in the night, and he definitely seemed to enjoy the little dance! But you're right - he's too polite to do that with Gemma, with Tom there. If it was a random girl he didn't care about? Maybe. But not Gemma. Aww.

Hehee, so pleased I made you squee. It was a pretty big "maybe" admission from Rob, wasn't it? Gemma definitely needed to hear that - it helped her to realize the extent of Rob's feelings for her. Yay!

As for Kellan... eeek! His name pops up a long way down the track, but we don't really get to meet him. Sorry! Will Daniel with the dimples do for now? They both have pretty dimples! ;)

Thanks so much for all your kind words, Ellen. It makes me so happy to know you're enjoying my little story, even without much Kellan in it! And don't worry, I've already submitted the next chapter so it shouldn't be too far away.

Thanks again!

Can I keep Tom???

Can I keep it? Pretty please?? We could double date with Gemma and  Rob and I could sing Lady Gaga with her any time she wants.

I really liked Tom, I think that you portrayed him as a fun and loyal friend for Rob and I hope we get to see more of him ;)

And about Gemma and Rob's realization... I guess that it is possible to start falling in love with a person when you've met him/her only for a week. And they have great chemistry... I hope Rob overcomes his fear and let her in, and I really, really hope that Gemma doesn't freak out. A guy who helps you while drunk is a keeper. hahaha

 

Post more soon! I love it!

Andie



Author's Response:

Hey Andie!

Sure, you can keep Tom. He's single in my story, so why not!? Double dates would be so much fun. As long as you drink vanilla vodka, that is! :)

Hehee, so pleased you liked Tom. He was such a fun character to write. We know how close he and Rob are in real life, so I tried to portray that in the story. We do get to see more of him, but not for a little while.

So yes, Gemma was completely blown away by Rob's little admission of "maybe" being in love. It has only been a week, but a pretty big week! As you said, they have great chemistry - they just seem to fit, you know? Let's hope Rob doesn't push her away and that Gemma is strong enough to fight it if he does. 

Love this line - "A guy who helps you while drunk is a keeper." Ha! So true!! :)

Next chapter coming up soon! I'm going to put a teaser up in the forum later today, come check it out!

Reviewer: babystar (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2010 02:52 AM · On: Chapter 13 - Paparazzi

First and foremost, congratulations on your Thomas character! You have hit the ball right out of the ring with him! Or is it park? Uhm, as you can probably tell, I’m not the best sports minded person out there, but for some odd reason this sports analogy popped into my head in reference to Thomas.  While it took a few minutes for my love fest over Bobby Long to commence, and even longer with Marcus, my adoration for Thomas was instantaneous.  It’s really bizarre, but I feel as if he has always been present within the story.  His relationship with Robert is more familial like instead of just a regular friendship.  Bobby and Marcus are clearly close friends of his, but Thomas feels more like a brother to Robert.  That is the vibe that you conveyed to me during this incredibly sweet and funny chapter.  The Thomas and Gemma interactions were very well written, but then again, what else is new! I loved the way that he immediately put her at ease.  His honesty over the “plastic” workers down at the lobby was a nice way for them to bond.  LOL, who told him about the spotty shoes? WOW, those shoes needs to make another appearance sometime soon!

You fooled me a little bit with the title of the chapter.  My first reaction was “Oh, no, the paps has been made aware of their relationship”.  Never did I think Gaga. The karaoke session was amazingly well done.  Gemma, once again, has outdone her cuteness :) I love the ease and camaraderie that you created between Gemma, Rob, and Thomas…LOl, Rob Thomas LOL!  I really hope that Gemma remembers her conversation with Thomas, when she sobers up a little bit in the morning.  His admonition to her, regarding Robert’s tendency of distancing himself from others caused a bit of unease within my heart for my favorite couple.  I really hope that she takes his advice and not allow him to push her away.  I’m hoping that he remembers the recent heartaches she has gone through, and not attempt to cause her anymore pain.  I feel very protective of her and just don’t think she will be able to see through his deception, if her were to make the decision of pushing her away for her “own good”. In my opinion, her insecurities are just too great for that.  Freaking Aaron!

Loving the sexy new tender vibe between Rob and Gemma!  To answer your question, yes, I do believe that they love one another.  I was ecstatic to see him admit to possibly loving her.  Hugs N Kisses to Thomas for pushing him on the issue.  Kudos to Gemma on her eavesdropping extravaganza, I would have totally done the same!  Her reaction to hearing him admit his feelings were so Gemma like! I really hope it incites her to recognize her own feelings.  I had a major awe moment when he took care of her after she got sick.  His tenderness and love was very apparent.  Another thing that I adore about Thomas is the way that he already seems to be protective of Robert and Gemma’s relationship.  He clearly sees how big of an impact that she has made in Robert’s life and doesn’t want him to jeopardize it. 

I see that you have noticed my eccentricity in the name department, LOL.  I have been known to rename characters in my head, if the ones chosen aren’t suitable to me,  in my stupidity.  Completely idiotic on my part I know…it’s just the way that my brain works, and I’ll keep obsessing over it if I don’t.  I just can’t see Thomas as a “Tom” and Bobby has become Bobby Long in my head thanks to you :)  As for Robert…he just feels more like a “Robert” or “Robbie” to me, instead of Rob.  I will use “Rob” here and there, but only as a way of breaking up the monotony of typing Robert over and over again.  I saw this update when I got up at 5 AM for my morning workout and just couldn’t resist reading it! Safe to say that later on today, my booty will be paying for the lack of my morning jumpstart…but I wouldn’t have it any other way! This story is just that addictive!  Have to rush of to class now, thanks for the incredible update.  Lastly, I will try to visit the forum but my name has already been claimed by another member over there.  I have to use b4bystar instead, LOL. Oh and the Gemma to Robert serenade….HOT! Sugar and spice and everything naughty!  Excellent job!

Favorite lines

"Why?" I asked. I'd disappointed him already? What did I do?

"You're not wearing your famous spotty shoes. I've heard so much about them. And I don't even get to see them."

"Unless you want frozen Hot Pockets, then no, I'm not making you anything."

"You can't let him, Gemma. He likes you. I really think you're good for him. And you seem to like him a lot, too. You have to be the strong one. You have to not allow him to push you away, if he tries. You have to call him out on it and not let him push you away."

"She's sexy as hell, Tom. But she also has the kindest heart of anybody I know. And she gets embarrassed so easily. I find her completely adorable. I can't believe she sang fucking Gaga to me tonight." He laughed quietly. "She's so good, Tom. Such a good person. She makes me want to get my shit together. I want to deserve her."

"And you're in love with her," Tom stated, very matter of factly.

"I don't know, Tom. Maybe I am."

"Don't fuck this up, Rob."
"Goodnight, my gorgeous Rob."
"Goodnight, my beautiful Gemma."



Author's Response:

Hi babystar!

Firstly, yay! I'm so pleased you skipped your morning workout for more Robert and Gemma. Hope you got by okay for the rest of the day without your morning jumpstart! 

And woohoo, another fabulous review! I've decided that just for your review, I shall call them Robert and Thomas too. Just for you!

I'm so pleased you loved Thomas. He was such a fun character to write. I loved what you said about feeling like he'd been there all along, because that's exactly how I felt when I wrote him! It was so easy to add him into the story. He just seemed to fit, you know? We know that in real life, Robert and Thomas (hehee, it's making me giggle every time I write their names) are very close friends - they even buy underwear together! I really do think Tom Sturridge is Robert Pattinson's real life favorite friend. We all have one - that very best friend you've known forever who knows absolutely everything about you. For Gemma, that person is Sarah. For Robert, it's Thomas! So I tried to work that close bond into the story. Thomas is fun and teasing, but he's also looking out for Robert in the best possible way. He realized quickly how important Gemma was to Robert, and gave some very important advice. And yes, Gemma remembers that advice! She definitely took it to heart.

Ooh, the spotty shoes will definitely make another appearance! Many more appearances, in fact.

Hmm, sorry for causing you unease in your heart! Robert's tendency to distance himself from people has been an underlying issue throughout the whole story so far, but it's really only now that Gemma's starting to realize it. Let's just hope he doesn't push her away, because you're right - she may not have the strength to fight it, especially since she's only just picked herself up from the whole Aaron debacle. Hmm. Time will tell! At least she's aware of it, thanks to Tom.

Yay for Robert admitting that he's "maybe" in love with Gemma! It was a good thing for Gemma to hear, I think. She needed to realize the extent of his feelings, and hearing it from Robert himself definitely gave her a shock. A good shock, though! And yes, he was lovely taking care of her, wasn't he? Aww.

Whew, so many favorite lines again! A great mix of silliness (like the Hot Pockets shout-out) and serious moments (like Robert saying he wants to deserve Gemma), and of course Thomas' very important message to Robert... "Don't fuck this up, Rob." Woooo. Don't mess with Tom Sturridge! ;)

Woohoo, so I might see you on the forums soon then! I'll keep an eye out! I'm going to post the teaser for the next chapter later on today.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for another truly wonderful review, babystar! You continue to amaze me!

Great chapter bb! Loved the talk between Tom and Rob when they thought she was sleeping! And no, I don't think I'd want to throw up in front of Rob! See you soon! I just know you'll satisfy my sexual frustration soon! Lol!

Author's Response:

Hey Roxie,

Thanks so much for your lovely review!

Glad you liked the Tom/Rob talk. It was a big one, huh? It surprised the hell out of Gemma, but it was important for her to hear, I think. And no, I don't think I'd like to throw up in front of Rob either. Poor Gemma! Too much vanilla vodka...!

You know I'll satisfy your sexual frustrations soon enough. Won't be too much longer, I promise! :)

Swoon... I swooned like a fan girl!

And how is this for a quick update!! WOOT!

Poor Rob he breaks my heart with all the self depracating talk, he needs to get that under control somewhat or I can sense some trouble ahead. I only hope that Gemma is strong enough to stick with him

Tom was gold. Everyone needs a friend like that. He is awesome through and through! I loved the boys talking when Gem was meant to be asleep! I think that was a good thing for her to hear. Especially that end bit...

Hope you are having an awesome holiday babes! Don't go getting too sunburnt ok!

Kyles!! *hugs*

So pleased I made you swoon like a fan girl. :)

And I know, it was a speedy update, wasn't it!? Yay for my beta!

Oh yes, Rob and the self-deprecating talk. Sigh! Let's hope he works himself out. Or if not, let's hope Gemma's strong enough to stick with him, as you said. Is she though? After all the Aaron debacle? She's really only just picked herself up after all that drama, and Rob is helping her move on. So hmm, time will tell.

Yay for Tom! He was lots of fun to write. He's certainly not afraid to tell it like it is, even if he does so in a teasing way. And aww, good for Gemma and her eavesdropping, huh? It was definitely a good thing for her to hear. It surprised the hell out of her, but she needed a bit of a jolt, I think, to appreciate the extent of Rob's feelings for her.

Holiday is going beautifully, thank you! I posted the photos on the forums - go check 'em out, if you like! :)

Thanks for another great review, Kyles!

I think this chapter MIGHT have been my favorite of all time!  I totally cranked Paparazzi - to which my husband totally rolled his eyes. :) 

Excellent chapter, Bee!  I really love that Tom kind of pokes fun at Rob's lack of cooking skills. :D  It's such a boy/best friend kind of thing to do.  

I love that Gemma lost her inhibitions to karaoke.  I think that Paparazzi was just the right amount of tease for poor Rob - although, this poor girl must learn to hold her liquor better! ;) They'll get there - hopefully soon. :D

I would have done the same thing Gemma did when she fell asleep and they started talking - I'd have laid there and listened a little too.  *sigh* I do think they're really in love... if Rob can just get over himself a bit.  

I don't know about the sitting with me while I was vomiting... I don't know if I want to vomit in front of Robert Pattinson. ;) 

Awesome again - can't wait to see what morning after brings... hopefully??!! ;)

Hi Mandy!

Your favorite of all time? Wow! That's exciting, so glad you liked it! Yay for cranking Paparazzi at the right time. Did you sing along too? You could have serenaded your husband. :)

Tom was fun to write. We know that in real life Rob and Tom have a close relationship (they buy underwear together for goodness sake!) so I tried to work with that friendship. So yep, Tom teases Rob about his lack of cooking skills but also pushes him to admit certain things he never normally would... like "maybe" being in love with Gemma.

I know, Gemma really doesn't hold her liquor very well, does she? Although she was trying to keep up with two British guys. Never a good choice!

Hehee, I love your comment of them being in love - "if Rob can get over himself a bit". He's definitely a bit stuck inside his own head, isn't he? Boys!

I'll post a teaser soon for the next chapter. Oooh, the morning after is never pleasant. Unless you wake up with Robert Pattinson, that is. ;)

Thanks for another wonderful review, and all your support along the way! *hugs*

Awww.....How SWEET is ROB!!

That was such a fun cahpter, loved the Karaoke scene...I'm glad that she let loose and had fun.

Tom was fantastic, great chat with Gem on the balcony, she needed to hear that from someone from Rob's side, not just her girls. Hope she can stand up to Rob if and when he tires to push her away. They're too good for eachother!!

Can't wait for the next one!

Hey Sareenna,

What a lovely review, thank you!

It really was a fun chapter to write. So glad you liked Tom. He's definitely not afraid to tell it like it is, and you're right - their chat on the balcony was an important moment for Gemma. She definitely needed to hear that from someone on Rob's side. She certainly doesn't forget what he told her, anyway!

The next chapter shouldn't be too far away. :)

Thanks again!
