Author's Response:

TY, hon! Glad you enjoyed Charlie and Big Nessie! LOL! I have a twisted sense of humor! Your reviews mean a lot to me - thanks so much for continuing to read!

FangMom

Thank you, for another great chapter.

Author's Response:

Thank YOU for reading! Reviews make me :)

FangMom

LOL. I can't wait for more. Thank you soooooo much for making it a long chapter!! :D

Author's Response:

Hi, girl! Glad you enjoyed the longer chapter - LOL! I think they're all going to be pretty long from here on out. TY for continuing to read! Your reviews make me :)

FangMom 

DAMN WAS THAT LONGGGGGGGGGG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!   Bwahahaha  only kidding.  I loved it.  Perfect!!!!!!!   I don't blame Bella for thinking about Edward while *cough* making love *double cough* with Jake.  I would be too.  I'm doing  a happy dance that Bella is feeling something for Edward and I can't wait until they give in.  As for Edward's morning wood I was laughing so hard because he stopped himself from cumming to images of Bella so noble of him NOT!!!!!!   Damn it slip it in her!!! OMFG I sound like a guy.  I love that he feels a little I would call it protective of her and him seeing Leah and Jake together I know bothers him.  Just think of those perk sweaty nipples waiting for you Edward.  FUCK!!! my head is in the gutter.  They so need to give in and have the passionate sex that they both are craving.  Charlie at the end was priceless.  I can't imagine what Edward is thinking right now.  Deep breaths Edward.  LMAO!!!!!  See it didn't take me as long to review this time, I'm proud of myself.  Great chapter and looking forward to the next one.

Have I told you lately how much I love you?! I'm ROTFL at your review! I feel the same way - I want him to slip it in her too, dammitt!!! BUT, that being said, Bella's not a total slut, and Edward obviously has SOME morals (unlike Jake - insert evil chuckle here!) so things are going to continue to simmer for a while. Let's just say it's going to take something "major" to drive Bella into Edward's arms! Brace yourself, because I think the rest of the chapters from here on out will be just as long! The next one has Charlie in it, and I LOVE writing him so much! Thank you so much for your continued support - it means the world to me! :)

FangMom

I love this story!! I'm hoping Bella kicks Jake to the curb, lol!

Author's Response:

LOL! I think a lot of people are hoping for that! ;) He IS kind of a tool! TY so much for reading & reviewing!

FangMom

Great chapter! I was so thrilled when I saw how long it was =)

 

Can't wait to see what happens with Edward and Charlie

Author's Response:

Hee, hee! Glad you enjoyed the long chapter! Longer, harder & bigger is better, right?! Oh, wait, I was thinking of something else - LOL! Next chapter - Edward & Charlie get to know each other!

FangMom

Woohoo!  This chapter was worth the wait!!!  I am SO loving this story.  Even though it's ridiculously cold here in Houston (it snowed last night at my house!) I can imagine the heat, and I thank you for making me feel warmer, at least in my imagination.  And the cliffie with Charlie was priceless!!!!

Thanks so much for the props in the last chapter... I've pimped your story to some of my friends (they live over here in Katy) and they are enjoying it as much as I do!

Keep up the fantastic work - I can't wait for the next chap.  Bella's gotta find out about Jake being a cheatin' sonofabitch at some point... Hellloooooo, Edward!

Stay warm and write fast!

Author's Response:

Hi, hon! Glad you likey! It snowed at my house last night too. The kids were running around outside screaming their heads off! Me, I'd be glad to never have another day under 50 degrees again - LOL! I'm so tickled that you're pimping me out to the local folks (wait ... that sounded so WRONG)! Anyway, believe me when I say that I'm keeping all of the area readers in mind when I'm writing this, and there's going to be lots of local references along the way! So, yeah, Jake's a dickhead, but it's probably going to take Bella a while to figure things out. Fear not, though, Edward will be waiting for her when she does! Come on, warm weather!!!

FangMom

WTMF I EFFING FORGOT TO REVIEW THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!  BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so sorry, I read this when it came out on my phone but for some damn reason it won't let me effing, screw that fucking review.  Well I got to keep up with my owning you with my fantastic reviews LMAO!!!!!!  Thanks for that.  I really did LOVE this chapter in Edwards POV.  I just got a kick out of his reaction to both Bella and Claire's reaction to him.  Someone has a crush, someone has a crush.  You have no idea how excited I am about that.  I have so many ideas running through my head on what is going to happen.  I know that Bella is feeling something too.  I know Jake is  just Jake, but I really think that Bella wants a little excitement and who else to give that to her than Edward. I really don't think she is really that happy and I think that Edward is going to pick up on that.  I know I wouldn't do to well knowing he was sleeping a few doors down.  *THUD*  I really think it is going to be tough for them to keep their feelings hidden.  Anyway I think you did a fantastic job on this chapter and it was perfect.  Now woman get writing because I have hit a little writer's block myself and need something to occupy my time.

There you are, sweets! I was getting worried about you - LOL! You've been laying low lately - you're not allowed to hide!!! We must chat on yahoo or Twitter one of these days! Your reviews continue to OWN me! Thank you for all of your fabulous support! CH 8 is almost done, and it's a doozy! I hope you're not gonna hate me too much - LOL! Need to do some proofing & tweaking, and then have it betaed, so *hopefully* it will be up by this weekend! Hope your writer's block passes - that's the WORST! I haven't had much time to catch up on my fic reading lately, but I'm gonna try to do some today, and your fics are on my list!!!!

<3 FangMom

This is a vey fun story, and vey well-written.  I was so glad to find it!

Author's Response:

I'm glad you found me, too! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I hope you'll be back for more!

FangMom

Looking forward to more.

Author's Response:

Thanks, girl! I really appreciate all of your reviews! Next chapter will be up in about a week!

FangMom

Oh wow... the slow burn build-up of Edward's feelings for Bella have me right on edge :) Looking forward to seeing how this develops as I'm particularly curious about Jacob & Bella's relationship. It almost appears to be entirely for society's sake.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your review! Things will definitely be heating up between Edward and Bella over the weekend. Jacob & Bella have a complicated relationship. They got married young, and have been together 20 years. Jacob expects Bella to be the typical "corporate wife", but that's not really who Bella is. There's much, much more to her than meets the eye (as Edward finds out)! Hope you'll be back for more!

FangMom

Such a treat for me when I see you update! I definitley felt the sexual tension between Bella & Edward. I almost got the feeling that Claire was Bella's step daughter. Would make sense since she kind of is a Dbag to her mom just like her Dad. Can't wait I'll the next update!

Author's Response:

TY so much for your kind review! Glad you like the building sexual tension between Bella & Edward. Claire is Bella's biological daughter. Bella's 37 and Claire is 17 - Bella got pregnant at 19 and gave birth to her at 20. I'll be getting into more details about that in the next chapter! Unfortunately, Claire is a *bit* of a spoiled brat, and a real "daddy's girl", so she's definitely a douche to her mom - LOL! Hope you'll be back for more!
