Oh, sweetie, you don't need to change the rating.  I love how you write their intimate scenes.  It doesn't have to be graphic; I love the way you write them together.  I just liked the way you are hinting at things.  Plus, I love that Bella was messing with their heads.  I was on a crazy cloud when I got home from work last night.  I read your update to calm me down, but unfortunately my mood leaked into the review.  Sorry about that.

I understand that Edward doesn't want Bella to be self-conscious, or to have to worry about others hearing them.  That is very considerate.

I am really looking forward to Carlisle's plan.  Can I say that when I think about the coming chapters, I hear the Mission Impossible theme song in my head?  It's true.

Author's Response:

Oh thanks, Ms. Shrew.  Next chapter may or may not possibly in a roundabout way have scenes where Bella and Edward may or may not be in a hotel possibly or maybe not alone together.  Mwuhahahaha!

I think Carlisle needs his own theme song--lol!  Maybe "Monster Mash"? Just kidding.  I can hear Mission Impossible too.  I hope that you like what I do with it.  Thanks for reading, dear. 

Very cute! Next Chapter :)

haha- great ending of that chapter

He's finally out of school at least- I don't like that he's going to Volterra, he is going to be worse! BLAH! Good Chapter :) NEXT

Kick BUTT!!! I loved it! Im glad that Edward got his hit in! :)

 

I threw it in Emmett's face every chance I got, but he just laughed in off (it off)

 

Good Chapter so far!- I'm glad that you put this in- We now know what James is up too- and why he didnt get expelled!

A time dinged, and Carlisle went to get the results of the x-ray.  Her ankle was badly sprained. (Timer) in the last chapter

He grabbed my shirt, pulling my face within an inch of hers.  "As I told you before, Brandon, that can be arranged." (his)

AW- how sweet - the ending of this chapter anyways! It's really good so far! Next Chapter! :)

OH BUT I LOVED THE FLUFF!!! :) This Chapter was really good! LOVED IT! :) NEXT CHAPTER!

Wow- I was actually taken by surprise with this chapter- At first I was thinking that Aro was a good guy- You kept him evil in this one- I look forward to reading on what is going to happen! Good Chapter Next :)

Oh Fangs!  I am so very sorry!  My heart and prayers are with you now.  There is some comfort in that he no longer suffers, but the loss of someone so important is so heavy on the heart.  Please let me know if there is any way I can help, even if only to provide a distraction. :)

As for this chapter... yes, I loved it!  Carlisle's plan seems very cunning.  Teeheehee.  Dude, I don't know who is more evil? ... eviler?  Whatever!  Jane or Aro.  I cannot wait to read their showdown!  That should be epic.

There are many lines that I loved. 

"Halfway through our fifth song, I was ready to attack Bella.  The way she could rock her hips against mine should be illegal, and it was all I could do not to take her on the dance floor."  Hell yeah!  I love this image! :)

Alice's paragraph about her intimacy with Jasper was really cool.  It fits them so perfectly.  Loved the comment about the shocks on the SUV.

THIS:

“It was mind-blowing Emmett.  I’m lucky I can walk this morning.”

I'll see that Hell yeah from above and raise you a fuck yeah!!!!  I about keeled off my chair reading that line.  Another great image that was also hilarious!  I gotta ask, did they do it?  I don't think they did, but Bella was just messing with them, right?  You don't have to answer, but I liked that it's ambiguous.  Although, I have a bone to pick with Edward, um,...pun not intended. ;)  Okay, I understand Edward wanting to be all romantical and stuff (misspelled purposefully), but I just wanted to shout at him that it's not the place that makes it special, but who you are with!!!!!!!!!  Yeah, I was internally shouting at Edward this evening.  (Must be the long day at work, three kids shows with hordes of bitchy parents, yeah, like I can stop the torrential rains just cuz they are too stupid to bring a fucking coat! GD already!  Sorry, guess I needed to rant there)  Okay, back to the point, if Bella could have read his thoughts right then, she should have smacked him upside the head ala Rose and Emmett for such a comment.  What makes a hotel room (even a luxury one) more special than the place that they got to know, comfort, and love each other?  Yes, I know I am just impatient when it comes to these two, but I really thought he was missing the point.  And if they did get it on, then please can we have an outtake or something?  I mean, there' no way you aren't going to write one of your tastefully yummy love scenes, is there?

 

Okay, so I know there is more, but I forgot it. 

 

Wonderful chapter as always!  Looking forward to the action to come. (oh fuck, I did it again!  I am looking UP at the gutter right now! ;D )

 

Take care Fangs!  *virtual hugs*

 

Author's Response:

No--no "bow chica wow wow" going on yet.  Edward has plans.  We'll see what happens in Chicago.  He knows how shy and self-conscious Bella is about things, so he wants to take her away so that no one they know will hear them, and to make it special.

This is only rated R.  I don't know if I can change that at this point.  So, the scenes won't be very graphic.  Sorry.  Glad you liked my lines.

Thanks for the hugs and prayers.  His funeral is Wednesday.  It will give me a chance to say good-bye.

First, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend.  Of course it hurts.  I hope you find your way through your pain quickly.

Bella's power is so interesting!  I was a little startled at the way you introduced it, I honestly thought I had missed an update or something and started going backwards looking.  I can't wait for Chicago (and not just because of the sexin' we are all HOPING to get...), I LOVE Chicago (except for the winters).  I have fond memories of my vacation there a few years ago.  So that will be a bit of nostalgia for me. 

Thanks much for the update!

Author's Response:

Thank you, Sheeijan.  I cried a little today and talked to some of my friends who were also close to him.  He had no family--just friends.  We all loved him dearly.  He was a good soul.

I'm glad that you like Bella's power.  I wanted to make it different. 

I LOVE Chicago too.  I've been there three times, and I am dying to go back again.  Wonderful city, though it is absolutely bone chilling in winter.  The air off of the lake goes straight to you bones.

I'm terribly sorry.  Please, take as much time as you need.  Fan fiction is fun, but family (as I'm sure you thought of his as such) is MUCH more important.

Author's Response:

Actually, I'm not feeling pressured to update, read, or respond to reviews.  It is actually therapy to write and read and respond to you all.  It's keeping me from being horribly sad.  I'm glad I have Twilighted during this time.  I cried quite a bit today, and I am feeling better.  I had to go to his house and help clean some things up, so it was a very emotional day.  Thanks for the kind words. 

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. There's nothing worse than losing someone close to you, and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight. <3

Thank you for sharing this chapter with us, despite the circumstances. You're a wonderful writer. (:

Author's Response:

Thanks for the thoughts, Frivi.  Twilight has been a perfect distraction today. 

Please try out my other stories, if you already haven't.  Thanks for reading.
