argh when I saw the chapter title I was so hopeful, but I guess it was more about their inner-monologues than talking to each other the way they both want to.

I do wonder about the possible future conversation where Bella admits to the shower episode, I can just see Edward being jealous of his imagined-self ;)

err... just had to take a cold shower after that chapter before I could type anything hehe ;)

It's so good to see Bella and Edward managing some very important conversations amidst all the antics... it's an immense relief, in more ways than one ;)

Looking forward to Seth's fanboyishism (I know it's not a word but it's been in my head for a while, so it was time to use it :)

Loved the Whitlock Wednesdays idea, I'm surprised that Edward hasn't asked about HIS films getting a special day... I guess he's saving that question for later! Or perhaps he enjoys not being the ABSOLUTE centre of everything for a change? I think it's a bit of both :)

heheh loved Edward's "less than a dollar" gift for Bella, and her trying to figure out what it meant :)

ohh wow! They finally declared - and that's one really nice pendant!!!

Hmm those handcuffs are going to be seeing some hard use I think too hehe :)

SOOO looking forward to the night/day after now!

sigh.

Frustrated that Edward's felt the need to lock himself away from Bella, I'm hoping that she doesn't let that go on for very long.

I can 'sort of' sympathise with Edward's reactions in that he's not just reacting to the possessive boyfriend jealousy, but also just that everyone else is 'allowed' to touch Bella, but he cannot.

I think if Edward had been able to allow himself to stay next to Bella as her 'boyfriend' the encounter wouldn't have needed to get so violent. It doesn't excuse him, but it's possible to see where he's coming from. Combine all of that with the lower inhibitions we all get whilst under the influence, and it's a dangerous cocktail :S

Of course, now he's beating himself up for scaring Bella - although I suspect she wasn't so much scared of Edward, as FOR Edward.

Looking forward to how they both deal with the fallout from this, and for that matter, the public reaction that may or may not happen if anyone figures out it was Edward Cullen? hmmm

geez... if that's Edward idea of a "date" what's he going to do for the eventual proposal? He's setting the bar pretty high for himself hehe

hmm I think that gym's going to see a whole lot more action than it ever has in the past ;)

Good to see B&E should be moving in together, shortly. Though it's still a little frustrating Bella's not "sure" of her place by Edward's side... they're getting there.

Italy looks like it should be a lot of fun hehe

really long and fun chapter there! ;)

I wonder will Bella use the costume again when she's in a better position to use it with Edward? hehe

Can't imagine the flight(s) to Italy are going to be very enjoyable at this point, though :S

Edward was really sweet sharing his "boring" room (I guess he's more than amply rewarded though ;)

great long chapter there, and such a relief for all of them to get the family inside the circle of "knowing" now :)

I think Bella and Edward both resisting what they were 'wanting' to do in the library was particularly amusing hehe

oh and Carlisle pausing for dramatic effect!! :)

whew!!

I can just imagine Edward's face lighting up every four weeks... he'll be wondering if Bella's got something more up her sleeve again? Although he's such a sweetie we all know he'll never be sad about it hehe :)

well, well, I'd say both Bella and Edward have got what they wanted from the new contract... and the best part would appear to be that they'll always ultimately enjoy the negotiations of any changes hehe

hmm there'll be some pictures out there, but it might actually be delayed a bit because of Bella's bluff... if they're lucky at least hehe

Interesting to see Edward's sounding like there's a clause in the contract that probably says something like "and other services, as required"?? ;)

I'm thinking Bella should make a contract for him though!! That'd be fun :)

Entralling start - can't wait for more (and I think if we're here on Twilighted, we can associate with the sensation of being stalked by some books? ;)
