Summary:
Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly. As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?
To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.
Show and Don't Tell.

Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Girl, you are one fucking amazing writer....you go from rendering me incoherent with how hot the sex and romance is to making me so fucking heartbroken and sad. I had to read this through twice because the first time, I could hardly focus because I was hyperventilating. Don't go into hiding, but you could've offered to hold us, pat our heads gently and reassure us that you do believe in HEAs. You do, right? right?
You are an incredible storyteller, and I will follow you anywhere. sniff* sniff* I trust you. Author's Response: Aww... *sniff sniff*
That was so sweet! :) And I so do not have it in me to kill any Edward. I love them all wayyyyyy too much! thanks for reviewing!

Title: Chapter 22: Tanya POV
Wow! That is really sad, and REALLY well written! You express emotions and feelings better than just about anyone on here. It's so easy to villafy Tanya for all she did, but really you can almost understand the desperation and numbness that threw her over the edge. That said, Your E and B remain my favorite couple and I am desperately waiting to see what's next. I favorited EPOV and it is AMAZING, so I am excited to get the next three chappies from him.....Oh, yeah, ESPECIALLY their first night.....mmmmhmmmmm.
*sigh* I love you Brits!!

WOW! Thank you so so much for not dragging out Edward waking up too long! I love how insistent that both of them were about Bella staying the night with Edward. My favorite line was “I’m pretty sure I’ll rip this fucking thing out of my arm if she doesn’t stay.” A-W-E-S-O-M-E
Also, how much do we love Emmett? His big brother mode protecting Bella was super sweet . But what the hell does Kate want? I hope it's to apologize, but I have a feeling it's not so simple.
I adore this story!

Now I'm nervous like Bella...what DOES he want to discuss???? The hopeful side of me would like to think he wants to talk about getting their own place, or *gasp* proposing! But then the other side thinks he wants her to get therapy or discuss the Charlie situation.
I'm not even acknowledging the fact that you're talking about ending my favorite fucking story...(plugs ears)la la la la I'm not listening to that obvious nonsense la la la la...

*le sigh* I could not possibly LOVE this story any more than I already do! These two are so perfect and I adored how the conversation went about not ignoring their friends. No tension or hurt feelings...God I love these two!! You also captured the giddiness of first moving together perfectly! Giggling as the "boy" stuff gets put next to the girl stuff and making the shampoos kiss were hilarious and very real. You made me think about how goofy and happy my hubby and I were when we first moved in. Thank you!! You ARE going to do EPOV for this chapter, aren't you? I'm dying to see what E and Alice were chatting about and the conversation with Charlie, too! Also, before we leave these two for good (that hurts to say, sniff!) could we get at least one more quality lemon PLEEEEEEEASE?? You're one of the BEST lemon writers in the biz (tied along with tby789, natch), so it would be shameful not to, right? right?
Anyways, I continue to rec' this story out to anyone who'll listen and I've already reread from start to finish (both views) three times!! You're the BEST brits! Take your time and send these crazy awesome kids out right!! Author's Response: Aw, your words are beyond humbling.... :) *blushes perfusely*
You have no idea how much it means that this little story has affected you the way it has. It's meant so much to me as well. I'm currently working on the next chapter, and i'm gonna tell ya, I think I'm gonna have to split it into two, because it's getting very long. So that means two more chapters and an epi. WOOT!!
I figure I have about two more epovs to do, and the part you mentioned will be covered by him, so no worries.
Although it's sad that this story is coming to an end, I have a new one on the horizon. A story that also means quite a bit to me, and makes me giddy and excited while I write it. Hopefully you have me on author alert, because I wouldn't want you to miss it. :) I'll be posting a link to it when I post the epi, so I hope you'll give it a chance.
Thanks so much for your constant kind words!!!

Summary: Edward Cullen is Big Man on Campus at his high school in Port Angeles. Bella Swan is a quiet, sarcastic, marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drummer girl at Forks High. A part-time job brings them together, and an unlikely friendship and surprising feelings develop. Neither is brave enough to do anything about it, however, and they part ways when Edward heads off to college. Their paths cross again after a year of no contact, and Edward is determined to not only rekindle their friendship, but to man up and actually do something about his ever-present feelings for Bella.

I love these two!! I'm so glad Bella's making Edward "work" for it, (Bella's no tramp, bb!) and can't wait to see what his devious plan entails. The girls grilling Bella for details was very funny...it reminded me of my college roommates.:)
I loved the first part of the prom flashback, and now I'm super curious as to what happened to make Edward ditch her...she obviously forgave him so it must have been a pretty legit reason.
I couldn't love this story more! You are a ROCK STAR!! Definately can't wait for more! Author's Response: Nope, Bella's definitely no tramp. She's no prude, but she's not about to hop into bed with anyone just for kicks - not even Eddie-boy. ;-) Thank you so much for reading!

I am immediately adding this to my favorites...I hope you update soon, I can't wait for the New Year's Eve date!! Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad it makes you happy! :)

Wow! Edward did do kind of a prick move with prom, but I love how bad he feels (he should!) and I love how Emmett and Jasper let him have it. Everyone loves Bella!! I'm especially glad now that he had to work so hard to get Bella to give them a chance together. Now I want to see all the ways he's going to try to make things up to her!!
Ilove this story so much!! The prom flashback was very realistic, I think, for High School boys to be so affected by their peers. Anyways, thank you for making my night with the update....I cn't wait for more!! Author's Response: He pulled a total prick move, yes indeed. And he's got some work ahead of him to make things right. I'm really glad you're enjoying the story. Thank you so much! :)

WHEW!! I had to read through that puppy twice before I could form coherent words.......SO.............HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how much she teased him about the girlfriend thing. Bella's so funny. I love that that part of their friendship is still intact. And when he told her he only wanted her for all those things....swoon!
I agree with Edward....if fully clothed sex is that hot, I definately can't wait till the real deal!! Although I do really think Bella should wait until she fully trusts them together . Otherwise she'll get all angsty about it and not really be able to let go, so to speak.
AWESOME chapter! Can't wait for more!! Author's Response: hahaha I'll take it that having to read it twice is a good thing? ;-)
There's no way they'll ever lose the fun, teasing, bantering part of their friendship just because they've hooked up. No way in hell. I forbid it!
She'll be waiting. **nods** It'll be hard, but she's going to try to wait.
Thanks so much for reading! :)

Short but sweet and HOT! I love that Edward knows how hard it's going to be to get her to fully trust him, but he's willing to work for it and wait. That's exactly what Bella needed to hear, and i'm glad she's letting herself go a little bit....letting the walls down a bit. Can't wait for more! Author's Response: Thank you! And yeah, he's going to work his cute little butt off for her. :)

Thank you!!!!!!! That was a MUCH happier chapter....I'm glad Bella finally opened up to him, even if it was by force. And...ahem...thank you for that lovely bit at the end...I will be retreating to a cold shower now. As frustrating as the last chapter was, I appreciate the fact that it's not storybook simple for these two being together...I like that you acknowledge both of their weaknesses and show them working through it. It makes it much more satisfying when a chapter like today happens.
Let's hope they continue with the actual communicating with each other. LOVE LOVE LOVE this story! Can't wait for more! Author's Response: hahaha Glad this one was better for you!
Summary: Womanizing Edward is in a cover band with his brother and best friend, who are pissed that Edward has managed to send their last three lead singers heading for the hills with his tendency to fool around carelessly. Emmett and Jasper decide to create a "no intra-band dating" rule.
But what happens when a gorgeous, talented brunette walks into the audition? Will Edward adhere to his bandmates' new rule, or will he pursue what's now off limits? OOC Edward/Bella. Rated for DIRTY HUMOR and lots of future LEMONY GOODNESS. Canon pairings.

Wow, girl...you write some QUALITY lemons! (fans herself) I just discovered your story today and ignored my hubby and kids all night to plow through it. I love it so much. Dirty Carlisle completely cracks me up, and the set lists reflecting where they're at in their relationship is so cool and completely HOT! Speaking of hot, this last intense lemon in particular left me a little "eager" and I'm currently thinking of molesting my sleeping husband. Before I go though, I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your Edward and Bella...from friends, to secret amores to full out couple, they have had a very healthy and FUN relationship. I love spending time with them. Can't wait for more!! I'm adding you immediately to my favorites!! Author's Response: haha, well apologize to your family for me...but thank you! i'm so impressed that you read through it in one night :) and thank you for all of your kind words--i'm glad you enjoyed it! ...and i guess say you're welcome to your husband for me, hahaha. hope you enjoy what's to come, too :)

Hmmmmmmm....I'm not sure what the problem would be. Maybe one of their old lead singers (Tanya?) are bitter and want to get back at Edward (nee Slutward) and are telling the managers about sexual harrassment or something along those lines. Or else they found something out about Balle that would mean she can't sing with them.
Great chapter! I loved Edward telling off Jacob...such sweet satisfaction. I'm glad Edward didn't panic and get distant after he blurted the wife thing....I get a little nervous and keep thinking at some point he's going to panic...but then I get rewarded with Swoonward (*sigh*) I lurrrrrrrve him!
LOVE this story! Please hurry with more! Author's Response: haha, your predictions are on the right track, although not all together correct...but, thanks! i'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter :) edward hasn't panicked yet becasue i don't think it's actually sunk in yet, but...there's a little bit of panic coming, haha. just to prepare you ;)
anyway, thanks so much for reviewing! more is on the way :)

DAMN! Bella is quite the frisky one!! Well she was....but now they might have embarrassed the frisky right out of her. How pissed is she gonna be? Jasper is definately in the dog house. Maybe this will lead to a "We should get our own place" discussion???
I'm glad Edward is not freaking out about Bella's wedding dream....as I was afraid he would. I am not sure why his dad freaked out though...does he think they're too young, or that Edward won't be able to do it?
Annother awesome chapter!!! Congrats on the real job!! Author's Response: right? and OH YEAH jasper's in the dog house. who follows someone into a dark house and doesn't say anything? seriously. also, carlisle didn't freak out - he was seriously just in a rush and figured that the answer to that question wouldn't have enough time to be discussed at that moment -- nothing more, i promise :)

Edward leaves Bella, much like the beginning of 'New Moon', however, this time, they are all human and there is quite the twist. Why did Edward leave Bella? And what secret is Bella keeping when he leaves?

Honest to God...I sobbed my way through that entire chapter...both times I read it. The emotions you write that pour out these characters is intense and absolutely heartbreaking. I find myself chanting with Edward..."Please let her be okay....please let her be there." I know you can't see it, but i am giving you a standing ovation while furiously wiping my eyes and nodding! YES!

Summary: School is in session and there are lots of lessons to be learned. Bella Swan, the newest student at Forks High School, needs to amend her shy and introverted ways and her guidance counselor has just the thing: tutoring! Besides, newbie Bella is probably the only student naïve enough to tackle Edward Cullen, a juvenile delinquent in training. Edward’s main pastimes include avoiding school and hanging out with his lovelorn, best friend Jasper Hale. In Edward’s opinion, Jasper needs a tutoring session of own in order to get over his ex- Alice. However Alice is too busy trying to console her friend Rosalie –who is only interested in one lesson: how to win the affections of Edward Cullen.

Please tell me that this is rock bottom for him, because I want him to begin the redemption soon and be worthy of Bella. This is really sad to see the point of view of a teenager so lost and angry, and you've written it brilliantly (if not terrifying).. I hope Carlyse can reach him, because that boy needs to take responsibility for his own misery (and everyone's around him!)
