Great Job yet again lahomia. :) Thanks for the early Christmas present.

I liked seeing Bella's POV on this one and to know she does want to sleep with Edward again since we knew he wants that too. I'm glad they are continuing with their swimming lessons. I'm hoping Bella sucks it up and tries to find a way to suduce Edward back into bed. That could be quite fun.

I like how Bella's going to be helping out at the Cullen foundation although I'm a little worried someone may reconnize her given Edward has found so many people around him that are connected to the Volturi. Esme asking "How do you really feel about marrying my son." lol. That was so a mother question.

Can't wait for next chapter as always.

Merry Christmas!

Another great chapter. I loved Emmetts POV and then when Bella told him he was to appologize to Edward...lol. Loved it!

I didn't think about what would happen after the trial if Edward and Bella became a couple. I know Emmett thinks Edward wouldn't or couldn't walk away from his life but I think he would.

Alice gave Bella some great advice. She's going to have to grow a backbone to live in Edward's world.

Wow so she's admited to being in love with Edward. Quite a big step. And it's obvious he knows he is crossing way over the line with her so it will be interesting to see how long it takes before he admits the same thing not only to himself but to her.

I totally understand that RL gets in the way but please, please, please can we get an update in the near future. I really do like this story but I have to admit when I saw this update I had to stop and really think about what was going on and what the story was about b/c it had been so long.

This chapter just left me with more questions. Ok I get that they "hooked up" and all but I didn't get the referrence to it being a "one night stand" if he left a month later. And if he did leave then why? I like the two perspectives on this one and it's very obvious that both of them still have some serious feelings for each other.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review!  I hope you keep reading.....

Wow the angst just keeps on coming. Poor Bella. I feel a little sorry for Edward too and I'm glad you told us what happened with prom, but Edward needs to grow up and confront his feelings for Bella and actually do something about the.

I'm intersted to see what he does to keep Alice from going through with kicking him out.

This was an amazing chapter. I wasn't expecting the car crash but I guess something needed to happen to get Bella to admit she was still in love with him. So now they both know they love the other...what are they going to do about it ???

Author's Response:

Haha.  Keep reading and you'll find out :-)

Thanks for reviewing each chapter, by the way.  You are beyond awesome. 

Oh you don't have to kill anyone. Come on. We like HAPPY endings.

Another great chapter though. You are really keeping us on edge. James need to get what's coming to him. I can't believe he is up in the atic spying on them. And that Mrs. Cope is NOT helping the situation spreading rumors about Edward and Bella. Didn't she learn her lesson from the last time.

Oh no what did he do?! I'm assuming he bit her. This is going to be interesting.

I felt so bad for Edward having to sit back and watch Bella suffer. We all know how he doesn't take her being in anytype of pain, physical or emotional, well.

Please don't leave us hanging like this for too long.

I just stumbled onto this fic and I have to say I really enjoy seeing Esme's POV. She is such a minor character in the books although it is obvious how much Edward loves her and that she does view him as her son. I can't wait to read more.

wow. Mike is really quite nasty in this story. I'm glad Edward beat him, but what he did to Bella... *shakes head* That was just...well I hope Emmett had fun "reminding him" to leave Bella alone.

Hopefully nothing is going wrong with Bella. I liked how Edward "declared" he was her boyfriend. That was sweet.

I was wondering when they were going to get caught and by who. I'm kind of hoping it's Jasper since he's been the one insisting Edward keep his hands off her.

I love waking up to updates. :)

The race went how I thought it would. Bella is really good which of course we already knew. I loved the locker scene where Alice almost caught them. lol. Their luck is going to run out soon, I think.

The phone call to his parents went well I think and it was very obvious they are worried about their son and b/c of his feels for Bella, her as well. I can't wait for them to meet her.

You write the interaction between these two well, very sentual. I can't wait for next chapter and hope you continue with the amazing connection as their relationship moves to the next level.

yeah another chapter!

I loved Bella's reaction to Edward's "fan" and then Edward's reaction to Bella's reaction was awsome.

The way you had Alice find out was great. lol. Nothing like getting caught half naked by your sister. :)

I felt so bad for Bella though when Edward found her crying b/c she didn't want to hurt him. That was such a touching moment. I'm glad Edward set her straight and they confessed their love. The dinner was nice and I must say Bella is quite a vixen in this story. lol. She is definately keeping Edward on his toes.

Great Job!

Two chapters in one day? Wow I feel special. :)

Bella is quite a tease. She sure made him pay for his slip. I liked how you worked the brusing in there. This little bet of theirs could get interesting but I agree with Edward. He is so going to lose.

Esme and Carlisle were so sweet. Esme is obvious so happy for her son having Bella in his life. It was an intersting twist that Bella and Edward had met so many years ago. And the fact that Renee could have prevented Bella being at dealths door is quite upsetting. At least Carlisle could provide a little hope.

Can't wait to see what happens next with these two.
