I hope it was just hormones, I think she shoukd call. Can't wait!!!! :)

Great, wonderfully written chapter Scilla! The hot kitchen action was just ... THUD! But I also liked reading the "stay in bed to watch a movie" part ... doing something normal, like a regular couple ... not over the top.  I have to say curiosity is killing me. Can't wait to find out re: Marisa's instinct! {RCC bitting nails in anticipation} <3 

No!  Marisa, don't call!  Make him miss you!!

Rob is not a jerk, he'll call. Please.

Aw gawd, angst, tension ... the waiting ... the not knowing.  It's all so bitter sweet and unbearable ... you wrote it really well.  I felt very nervy for Marisa in this chapter .... and then ..... End of Chapter.

Oh, how mean.  How could you leave us ...?

Anxiously and greedily awaiting the next update.

Poor Marisa, I dont know they say its better to haved loved than lost than never to have loved at all but I feel so sorry for her...I mean Im sure their is a perfectly reasonable explanation for him not calling.

I really enjoyed that chapter especically considering the fact that Rob isnt in it. 

He better be a gentlemen and call soon LOL. Seriously that was great Scilla, look forward to the next update

Love it

Don't do it! He's given her no indication of his feelings for her other than sexually. Don't call!

Wow! I totally think she should wait. But then again I didn't just spend two days getting shagged senseless by Rob. Hmmmm. Nah, she should wait. He really has so many people demanding things of him all the time, Marisa shouldn't pile on to that. Like I know him. *snort* OK. My two cents! You asked for it!

Ima gettin weird vibes from the neighbor couple. Are they going to rat them out?

Can't wait for the next chapter already! Srsly! Kisses!

She should most definately NOT call him.  That is something a younger woman would do.  I understand her anxiety because of the loss of her husband and not wanting to lose this new relationship, but to act on that anxiety would be out of character for an independent, accomplished, 40something woman.

You are a very good writer and I anxiously await every chapter!  Keep it up!

i know he will call her first! but you are killing me with this chapter....although i love Marisa's character/inner voice. update soon please!!!

Loved how you captured Marisa's anxious feelings.  I think any woman would be feeling unsettled, no matter how confident & self-assured she was, wondering if she would hear from him again.  I think that's what the "bad feeling" is about.  In her gut, she knew he wasn't going to call - at least not right away.  She just didn't want to admit it.

My vote - she should definitely NOT call him.  That would be a really bad move - been there, done that myself - and I've ALWAYS regretted it.  Showing her clingy insecure side at this point in the relationship would not be a good thing - especially because he has been very attracted to her confidence & maturity.  She should hang tough & be sexy cool.  Not easy to do but he will call eventually and she will have been able to keep her  diginity. 

I keep loving this story line.  Can't wait for the next update.

I'm really enjoying your story! I'm conflicted on whether or not she should call Rob, though. If she does, is she looking too needy and/or anxious? If she doesn't, will she appear aloof? But what's up with him? If he's too busy to actually make a phone call, can't he send a text or something to set her mind at ease and show some consideration? He did tell her he'd call so he should be the one that makes that next move. I have a feeling she's going to run into him or see him with some younger starlet in his company, maybe platonic, maybe not, and be really hurt and confused, and then he's eventually going to have to explain himself. I guess we'll see what you have planned for them later, huh? Don't keep us waiting too long!
