Yep I liked that a whole bunch!!!! I think that having them not just go all out right to start out with was a good idea. Even though they wound up there any way, I mean really who could resist all the 'honey' s and 'sugar' s. REALLY, Sure as hell ain't me! No way could I resist and who would want to?? I thought it was also great that Bella caught a glimpse of Edward's less desirable attributes. He is a Southern man after all and occasionally bless their hearts they slip in the chauvinist column, they can't help it, they don't mean too they just can't help it! Really! I thought that was great that you hae that trait come out here in Edward and his jealous tendancy. But he may truly have someting there to be a little concerned about, then again is it that or is Bella seeing something she didn't before because Edward mentioned it??? Hum??? Thanks for updating and I really love this chapter so much, Sugar! lol

I just loved it!  And yes the painting is hilarious!  Great idea...for  you to have writer's block!

Do what I said in that last review!  Have Edward get an offer from the architect man and save Bella in the hallway from a drunken Sam on her way to her apartment....after Sam finds out that the baby is not his!   That is good.......but seriously don't use it if you can't get inspiration from it!

 

keep up the good writing!

AHHHH, "yes he is" was she saying it because she meant it or because he heard her.  Loved the chapter.

Good question! He couldn't hear what was being said, he was just reacting to her looking at him and that they were obviously talking about him. She said it because she felt it!

Excellent.  I absolutely love what you are doing with this story.  I'm loving your Edward.

Oh, I hope Edward moves to Seattle.  It will be interesting to see what happens with James or maybe a Sam/Edward blowout. 

I've got three words for the beginning of this chapter: HOT, HOT, HOT! I'm soooo damn happy that Bella likes hearing Edward call her "sugar" as much as we do, lol. And you did the whole scene great! It would have sucked if nothing had happened, but you made sure that Bella's insecurities that would have prevented something from happening were still there. She's confused and that's definitely understandable, but I'm thrilled that we still got dirty-talking, teasing, sexy Edward in there. No cockblocking, yay!

I can also understand why Bella got upset with what he was saying about the guys ogling Bella. In real life that may make me crazy as well, but when it's Edward getting jealous for some reason it just makes me crazy in a totally good way. And him being a bit chauvinistic also fits cause as much as I hate to say it that is a trait quite often seen among southern boys. But I was glad that Bella realized he wasn't just talking shit about James, that he did see something there that she just hadn't paid attention to before.

Alice and Jasper's painting, OMG, LMAO, nuff said. lol. I want to paint with Jasper too! :D  

I loved Bella finding everybody getting tipsy at the apartment. Well, okay, I do think that most of them were actually pretty damn drunk. Glad that Emmett and Edward were getting along, but then again alcohol does have an amazing way of making even the worst enemies the best of friends (or at least it does with me, lol, I love everybody when I drink). The way Edward greeted Bella when she came in was fantastic, so sweet and cute. And when he was looking at her soo happily as Emmett called him her boyfriend, awww! Awesome ending for the chapter!  So will we get a scene from Edward's pov (or anyone's really) about the drunk apartment dialogue before Bella arrived? Will we, will, we, please, please, please, please? lol. The thought of Edward being drunk (and a funny drunk at that, I love funny drunks) is too good to pass up!

Really glad that you're looking forward to coming back to the south. I can completely understand about not being too happy about having to pack (ugh!) as well as leaving your home. As much as I'd like to see more of the world, it's hard to imagine not living here with all  my family and friends. But anytime you're feeling worried or upset, you can always escape to Twilightland and write more yummy chapters for us to devour and then we can heap praises on you for your awesome writing and you'll feel even better, lol. Great idea, right? :D  Seriously though thanks for getting this out for us, even though the move isn't for another few months I'd imagine things are already getting crazier, so thanks!

I love what she says at the end.  And the painting was priceless!

Thank you! You know, you're partially to blame for my slow updating. Everytime I get an alert for The List, I have to stop writing and go read it. =D

Aw! i hope it works out :)

Def. like it this way!

I am so glad she acknowledged him as her boyfriend at the end!  I don't mind angst, but when their feelings for each other are so obvious, that seems kind if unnecessary.  I am so excited to see what comes next!

You are doing a fantastic job with this.  You manage to be sweet, sexy and funny in just the right proportion, i think.  I also really appreciate that you don't overdo the angst!  There is just the right amount of doubt, confusion and anger where required to keep these being real people.  Maybe because Bella is a chef here - I sound like i'm writing a restaurant review!  All the right ingredients in just the right amounts. Delicious!

lovelovelovelove it
