its awesome and perfect (not too fast)! I can't wait for more.

Well the first  chapters were very funny.  This last chapter had it's funny moments but I do not believe those are the moments I will remember.  Edward on the beach in the moonlight .... now there is something to remember.  Loved it!

I loved it.  i think I'm falling for you southern Edward.

i just started and finished reading your fic today and i'm absolutely in love with this!! i hope you update soon.. this is definitely going to my favorites!!

"One moment you want them dead, the next moment you want to kill them."  That line is going on my next sampler. 

And ... The Nod ... that shit was just funny.  You know how when your in school and the school nurse comes in to talk to the girls about personal hygiene and wearing a bra and Aunt Flow?  At the same time the PE Coach comes and takes all the boys to do who knows what.  At the time I thought it was to play basketball or something.  Now I'm pretty sure they were getting nodding lessons.  Well that and how to adjust themselves.  I swear everytime one of my sons nod it's all I can do to keep from laughing.

Loved the "girl talk", but Edward's finger wiggles made really me laugh.

Sandra

wow there is no better word then wow

Too fast? Really?  It's a fling!!!  Besides you've had a heavy amount of foreshadowing with his job and what he knows about Seattle maybe he"ll move or better yet they'll move down South! What can I say I love happy endings!

Author's Response:

Hi Nina! It's nice to meet you, too. Can I just tell you how silly-happy I was to see your reviews pop-up? I absolutely love The Bella Swan Diairies and your writing style!!! The end was so inappropriately appropiate it made me tear up. Pervs need true love, too!! =D And your Smut Mondays anthology have made for quite a few uncomfortable Monday mornings at work. I have no self-control.

Sorry to hear you have a sick baby at home--I have a recovering 9-year-old here today. He had some sort of ugly stomach virus yesterday. =O

So, to answer some of your questions and comments: I don't actually know how S.T.37 got it's name. I just know when my nuclear family moved back to S.C. from southern California when I was fourteen, my grandmother swore up and down that S.T.37 was the cure-all for anything that ailed you. Ever. She actually did make us gargle with it when we had sore throats!

I'm going to have to thank achelle131 (mariecel) again for that kickass banner. She just contacted me and offered to do it and I love how it turned out--perfect.

Then, this story doesn't have a thread. I'm not sure how to start one. I'm embarrassed to say I'm a technological throwback. I see my computer as a glorified typewriter. I tried to join in on a couple of forums when I first came to Twilighted, but got no response, so I figured I was doing it wrong and gave up. Pathetic, huh? But I'm willing to give it another try. And I would LOVE it if you'd pimp my story out! I'm having so much fun writing it and the more people read it, the happier I get.

The story is headed to Seattle next, and I know some people are going to miss the HHI setting, but we'll get back there eventually at least for a visit. Plus, think what a splash Southern Edward and Jasper will have on the Emerald City. Bella and Alice are going to have to have their beating sticks out. :) There is more to the Sam story coming up, too. But, Jake is a non-entity now. He was just a little extra complication and a good reason why Edward couldn't just sleep on the couch.

I've seen mentions of the Perv Pack's Smut Shack website, but I guess my Southern background or my latent social backwardness has made me hesitate to go over without a personal invitation. But beware--I'm coming over now! =D

Thanks for all your great reviews--I LOVE chapter-by-chapter reviews! Sorry for the fangirl rambling.

Paige

excellent!!! I am one finger typing with a sick 20mth old in my arms so its not auper long review but I did love it

Well, is it pathetic that i want to know what the magic cure is and what the S.T.37 stands for?

I'm dying to know what is up with Sam, especially since you say it wasn't random.  I'm also eager for the party at the parents house :)

Now on to the smexing, well I know too from experience how much sunurn hurts and it hurts everywhere so I commend her for getting as far as she did!  Very well done.

Wow, open mouth insert foot Edward. Holy shit. I do enjoy when Em/B are brother and sister, I'm not sure why but I think it helps with their great dynamic.

Great chapter though, I thought the awkward breakfast was great, damn Jake.  Well played is right, I do like it when they have to play off of each other to win Bella.

Love this story. Yep, a fast, fun, hot fling. *YUM* But I'm hoping a spot will open up at that Seattle architecture firm that a certain someone will apply for... :)

Can't wait for more!

I don't think they moved too fast necessarily.  They're adults.  And they don't think there's any possibility that any of this can mean anything, so they throw caution to the wind and just allow themselves to enjoy and feel.  An adult decision.  It works for me.  I loved this chapter and how it is so clear they are good together.  Bella's sadness was palpable after they were together.  I can't wait to see how you play out their ultimately being together.
