Oh my God!  Not Monty Python, too?!  I swear to God, woman, I'm beginning to think we were separated at birth...

I can't believe he didn't tell her she was lunching with the Bel Ami trio.  For such a smart man, he can be unbelievably dumb!  Rob, Rob, Rob... {shakes head}

And, just what DID Nick say to push him over the edge?  Can't wait to find out!  Wonderful chapter.

 

Author's Response:

hehehe. Oh yes Monty Python... le sigh... i think maybe the government must have been working on cloning early... that's my conspiracy theory at least... LOL!

Oh Rob... well, he kinda told her that Kristen wanted to have lunch... he is just too much of a boy not to realize she would think Stewart instead of Scott Thomas... BWHAHAHA! this just might be the last straw. Four powerful women at a lunch table with poor awkward Rob... oh my!

Oh Nick... we will learn A LOT about Nick in OTT, and maybe Rob will open up and tell her what drove him over the edge.... maybe...

thanks my dear !

more soon!

MWAH!

steph

I know who the trio are!!  ; )   Kristen Scott Thomas, Uma and Christina Ricci!  Wow, that will be one helluva lunch!

That was a great chapter, but I'm really curious what Nick did?  Maybe run a background check or something?  What a schmuck...

Love this!  :)

Author's Response:

Woohoo! hehehe... should be quite entertaining with Wednesday Adamms and Kill Bill, yeah? 

oh Nick... let's see if Rob caves and tells her everything. i will say we learn ALOT of Nicks actions in OTT.... gah i need to get to chapter 21 there STAT!

thanks my dear!

another one soon!

MWAH!

steph

I loved this chapter, but I'm getting this sneaky suspicion about the nausea!  Been there, done that, with the whole "I can't get pregnant" thing. Next thing I knew, baby #3 was here!  Bring it.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much my dear! hehehe... it's true miracles do happen... we'll see if this is the case... 

thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

more very soon!

MWAH!

Such a funny exciting chapter. But she totally sounds preggers. I don't know how I feel about that really cause it doesn't seem realistic for her to all of a sudden be able to get pregnant. It seems almost too HEA.

Author's Response:

It does now doesn't it? of course i have neither confirmed nor denied it... hehehhe. cruel? evil? maybe a little... 

While this story is intended to be HEA... i'm with ya on the too easy part.... but that's all i'll say... more will be revealed in the next few weeks. we're starting to get to the part of the story where they HAVE to deal with this... it's not all kitchen fun and fun trips anymore... 

Real life is upon them....

thanks my dear! more soon!

MWAH!

steph

Yep! It was so good that I had to read it again.

Author's Response:

LOL! YAY! thanks my dear! 

a new chapter in a couple of days!

MWAH!

steph

I love this story and cannot wait for the next chappy, keep them coming please, and what is OTT ?  sorry to be daft.

Author's Response:

Not daft at all my dear. OTT is the Rob point of view story of this story, entitiled On the Threshold: Robert's View.

it is a chapter by chapter account of Need To Escape (NTE) all in his pov. if when you click on Need To Escape, click on my name, you will see the other stories i have written, OTT is there. take a gander if you like, i am 6 chapters in on that one current;y.

so glad you are enjoying this story my dear! next chapter is coming very soon!

MWAH!

steph

Had a great time reading this! Thanks.

Oh,  thank heavens I made it past the IOW!  Phew!

Sooo... very nice that they found their own bubble.  You know what a fan I am of the bubble, although it can't last.  I definitely think Jen will feel restless, and she's not going to be satisfied doing nothing.  If she doesn't pick up after him, pack for him, do laundry for them both... then what is she going to do?  She could play cello all day.  Maybe she should have kept the spam.  It would have given her something to do.

She's going to need to go home and deal with the pieces of her life she left behind.  If she freelances or gets a job writing, that will be something, but she's lost right now.  And with him going back to work it will only get worse.

Fired ficNick?  Hmmm... I don't know that that will last.  I wonder how long before he gets a call from Stephanie.  He needs a manager.  Not that he can't change managers, but it's generally recommended that you not fire one until you have the other lined up.  He has a lot of commitments in process, and the timing of this could have been better.  Now, I for one am a big fan of kicking the shit out of Nick, and you have just made me start salivating over this chapter in OTT.  Because I want to see the shitkicking through Rob's eyes.  But I think the firing was probably not a great idea at that moment.

That being said, I'm a fan of the eventual firing.  You have to be able to trust your manager, and ficNick lied to him, stole his property, and lied to Jen.  No trust coming from that.  How do you let that person run your life, manage your money, control your calendar, etc.?  You can't.

So sad to have missed the ass-kicking, though.  Really entertaining that he sent Mack to keep her busy, too.  Which leads me to wonder... where did this ass-kicking take place?  Hmmm...

Well, I'm breathing a sigh of relief over the end of the stewing, and now I'm going back in the cave, I think.  Thanks, ET.  Wonderful job, yet again.  Yeah!  Love you!

Author's Response:

Yay for no more IOW!

yep...bubbles are nice...but they thin and then BURST.... right?

oh how i wish i could submit the next 4 chappy's RIGHT NOW!

yes she definitely needs something to do... she has left so much behind that needs taking care of, she needs to wrap up her feelings for losing Mike, and she needs to jump in to her life with Rob... she just doesn't see herself as the stay at home type... as lovely as that is with Rob... she has gone past the being alone now... it worked when she had no one... now she needs something more...

oh..and she had lots of time in that hotel room and at the airport to right click and lick.... js... you can acquire quite a collection from an afternoon... hehehhe

she will be making plans to wrap up things back 'Home' for sure...

ah nick... what can i say about it? hmmmmm... i concur with all your points... obviously... and as you know i love my pictures as inspiration.... rob may be a bit premature in his actions... and maybe he can't fire nick outright... who really employs Nick? hmmmm... and does he have a contract... yes, Rob maybe should have thought of that before fists of fury... seeing red over something to be sure since jen all but had Rob convinced keeping him around was the right thing.... hmmmmm oh yes OTT will be soooo much fun....

can i just say "yes...they have fun here and here and here,...there's some crying... there's some miscommunication.... and some more fun there and there... oh and then voila! OTT chapter 45.... sigh... maybe not... 

the eventual firing... hehehe... you'll see....

oh Mack... you know i love him, right? and he will be so much fin to have around... 

where was said ass kicking you ask? well, Jen had her Jam session on... so she could have boogied right by them in her bad ass self... which is maybe why the ass kicking occured... hehehhe

thanks my dearest ET. this took me forever to respond to.. RL is being silly tonight and now I'm behind on your story! gah! 

dammit rob... you sucked another night outta me... 

love you my dear. thank you for all your support and love... i heart you...

MWAH!

steph

Thumping Nick Frenkel = multimillion pound/dollar law suit ??

Jen needs a project.. to hunt down and renovate a weekend retreat in the English or French countryside, where the gang can have BBQs and mess around on quad bikes in private.. and an outbuilding to convert into a recording studio..

 

Author's Response:

LOL! this is very tru... of course stealing property from Rob and sabatoging his personal life...hmmmm

 

omg... i love your idea.... gah that would be awesome.... now THAT's a cool way to keep house!

thanks my dear! 

gah now i am dreaming of gentle rolling hills and a cottage... 

sigh...

love ya! 

steph

I LOVE your story!!! And OTT and YOUR Rob has me in stitches every time! But Jen pregnant (like you were hinting at)?? I don't know. It sounds so .... cliché. No offense! But why have to be every HEA end in marriage and children and beautiful sunsets on a beach and.....(ok, I'm getting out of hand now). I think I'm just ... undecided. So YES, it would be fantastic! Wonderful, happy, romantic, and lets be realistic, we are all reading this to escape reality just a little bit, and life is just so....BAH sometimes. See? Undecided!! But! Is he ready for something like that?? Can't handle laundry, abuses his microwave with poor unexpecting carrots and can't tidy up after himself, but wants to be a young father....hmmmmm. And I don't know if the world could handle another Pattinson. Imagine the possibilities! A little Rob Jr. in the arms of his father!! SWOON!!

OK! Enough! Actually I wanted to tell you what a fantastic job you are doing. I'm reading your story for a long while now, and I normally don't like RPFs that much, but yours captivated me from the beginning (like chapter 2 or 3), and I think you've got Rob right (if you understand what I'm meaning??). And I hope I got to read your story still for a long time (*hinthint*).

And last but not least, as I have to write to all of my (very, very) few reviews: since english is not my mother language, I apologize for any mistakes in writing or grammer in this review! (whoever finds them, can keep them ;P ). You have to ask, if you don't understand my sentences!

Love, Kathy

Author's Response:

LOL! Oh Kathy how I adore you!

it DOES sound a bit cliche now doesn't it? hehehe. Of course i have neither confirmed nor denied that she is...hehehehe... and while i plan on an HEA... (because really you all would hunt me down and kill me if i made you read 60 plus chapters and not end HEA, just saying) I do plan on it being not so the marriage/children/beach ending... chuckle chuckle chuckle.. i have some surprises... 

And ROB is DEFINITELY NOT ready for little robbies... but oh my gah... what a picture that would be eh? ...........sorry drifted off there for a moment....

thank you so much for reading my story. It truly means so much to me that people find this story an escape, an enjoyable read, and a diversion from what Rl throws at us. i hope to represent Rob as best i can, in a respectful and honest view. so thank you.

and your English was just fine... I tend to speak pirate in my writing... ARRGHHH me writing... so i traslate fairly well.

thanks my dear... I hope to write this for a while yet.. 15 chapters is a very conservative estimate... if i think about it too hard i grow faint thinking about all the corresponding OTT chapters... LOL

more soon! 

MWAH!

steph

Yes! Nick deserved to get fired. I bet he started badmouthing Jen right? Question, the comment about her boobs looking perkier, the throwing up? Could it be a miricle has happened and she is pregnant? That would be great in my opinion, just when they are dreading telling his family it will never happen for them they find out she is PG. As for keeping them secret to avoid harming his career, I never thought that would happen, the age difference isn't that big, look at Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore for heaven's sake. Who cares if they all her a cougar. You know what I would say? Grrrrrrr! Do you have any plans on "outing" them any time soon? It doesn't seem to me like your Rob would be able to handle keeping it under wraps for much longer.

Author's Response:

Oh That Nick...what could he have done after jen had Rob so ready to take him back?! must have been bad,yeah? hehehehe

ah the perky boobs, the throwing up.... it seems the general consensus is preggers... we'll have to see... i know... i am evil...

the outing.... it really shouldn't be an issue.. but i think forces of evil (cough cough summit) have other plans.. Robsten sells... good or bad it does... and someone has puppet strings on Robs management. of course with Nick gone... what might that mean.... hmmmmm. but Jen needs to deal with her issues too. absolutely Demi and Ashton had some rough times.. but i think Ashton is doing better than demi now...hmmmm

i do have plans for the outting... will it be soon... maybe in the next 15-20 chapters... GASP! i know evil again... but i have definite plans for it... and Rob is bursting at the seams... we'll see...

thanks so much my dear! more soon...
