I really enjoyed this story - and I'm glad to see the updates. You're doing a great job with this! Please keep updating as often as possible.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this review! :)  The story should be updated at some point over the weekend, I hope.

As promised, here is your teaser:

My feet somehow carried me out of the dorm room and down the hall. I couldn't stop long enough to answer Alice's frantic questions as I ran, I just had to go and explain later.  I didn't want to get sick in our room bathroom, I wanted to maintain some level of privacy while I indulged myself in the unscheduled nervous breakdown.

The bathroom door flew open when my palm smacked against it. I found the nearest toilet and got straight to business.  I was sobbing, heaving my body towards the white porcelain bowl that most college kids seemed to worship for vastly different reasons than I was right now.  I heard the door open and close behind me, but once my stomach was empty, I just sat there. I let all of my previously held hopes and dreams out in the form of tears, for what felt like hours.

I can't wait for the next chapter!!!!!!!! How long till it's up? Teaser please? xD

So good. So good.  Yikes, I'm really sorry that some of the beginning of the story made me uncomfortable.  It wasn't your writing, it was my prudishness.  But I'm getting better - who knew reading ff would open my 50 plus yr old mind to new temptations??

I know you work incredibly hard on so many stories, since I see your name everywhere, and I just want you to know how much it's appreciated.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this review! Don't worry at all about the beginning making you uncomfortable - I am just so, so very grateful that you stuck with it and had faith in me.  Really and truly.  I happy dance every time someone makes it past chapter 10 hehe.

Oh wow, this chapter was really amazing. You're just such an incredible writer, and timing and pacing are amazing.

Loving all of your reviews.  Thank you for taking the time to leave them, and for praising me so highly! I very much appreciate it.

Love this story.  It's so adult, but so romantic as well. :)

Still really confusing here.  Bella's gonna flunk out at this rate!!

So I read the whole thing this morning (instead of doing homework I've neglected all week...) and I must say that I've fallen in love with the story.  I was unsure at first, but the "New Bella" has grown on me.  The plot line is well done and everything feels believable.  I especially find the inner conflict between New Bella and Old Bella intriguing and understandable.  Great job with this so far - I'm so curious to see what happens next.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the review! :) I am glad that you're enjoying the story so far and that New Bella has grown on you :)  I know the beginning can be a little rough, but I am so glad that you trusted me and kept reading.

Here is your teaser, as promised:

I climbed onto the bed just as naked as I had left it.  Edward and I sat facing each other, knees touching.  The first box he opened was the crème brulee.  I put my hands on his knees and ran them up his thighs as he looked into the disposable foil pot curiously. 

His eyes flicked from the pot to mine and then back as my hands continued on their path.  When I reached his waist, I uncrossed my legs and climbed into his lap.  I adjusted myself and wrapped my legs around him, pulling myself a little closer. 

“You're gonna share, right?” I raised an eyebrow.

Loved it.

Ah lame I know. It's nice to see Edward and Bella kinda beginning to get together.. That girl needs some smiles.

 

Author's Response:

Yes, bella does need some smiles.. and she's going to get lots and lots of them, mixed in with the other real-life drama :)
