I LOVED!!!!!! this beginning of the story ;) i haven't read this before!!!!! i think i have an idea to get bella to realise jake is no good for her maybe he is cheating on her when he has a gig and when angela and her go to see them play he doesn't see her when he's with a groupie? also are you going to have jasper and alice get together? maybe she can make sports wear for his shop? ;) anyway again i know you're probably busy with rl or betaing another fabulous story but PLEASE come back to this one ;D

I just read this story straight through. I enjoy your writing and your storylines.

I noticed that the last time you updated this story was in June and hope you have plans of finishing it. Can't wait to see what Edward has in store to win her over. And of course the actual stopping of the wedding. ;)

Did very much enjoy.

Thanks!

This is going to be highly entertaining.

I laughed when Edward was excited that she didn't run for the hills when she found out he was moving in.  Anyone in their right mind would be celebrating and figuring out ways to combine two apartments into one if they found out Edward was moving into the building!

"Casual" Edward, I love how he revealed his new residence location to Bella.  Obsessed, stalker, pervert!  Gotta love him!

LOVE Jasper.  I have said it many times, you write the Jasper character very well!  He sure is good at math and at helping Edward figure out how to get more "Bella time"

I look forward to more!

I love getting to know Jasper.  You write his character very well.  I am so glad Edward got the Bella-View...I mean Bellevue appartment.  Now he can keep running into her all the time.  He can console her when Jake takes a Swan dive off a cliff.

I like how you give enough information to make us want more!  Little hints and pieces of the story here and there....

Till next time,

CM



Author's Response:

Hi CM!

Under a week with this review reply! That's a new recent record for me!

I'm glad you liked getting to know Jasper. I think I'm going to make him a real "character" again. I love him that way. It's such a contrast to buttoned-up Edward. ;) So, yes. Edward's got the Bella-view at the Bellevue! Could anything be more perfect...or more upsetting, depending upon whether or not Jake is visiting her... :( But you are right...they will be running into each other a lot. You should read the review I got just prior to yours. I wrote a little "outtake-let" for that reader in my reply, based on thoughts along those same lines. ;)

Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying. I think the next chapter will be interesting.

Read you soon!

I think we see Edward and Bellas future home lol.  And some fun at the pool, and sauna and the washing machines lol



Author's Response:

Hi vicki!

So you're kicking poor old Edward and Elizabeth to the curb, are you? LOL I love the comment about the activities at The Bellvue...pool, sauna...(you forgot the spa...you know how I love to make Edward play in the Jacuzzi...;) and then you had to mention the washing machine! I was ROFLMAO.

Possible scene for a future chapter:

*Bella's cell phone rings while she is otherwise engaged*

"Unf...um...oh...yes?...hello?" *pant, pant*

"Bella? Are you okay? What are you doing? Your voice sounds funny. You sound out of breath. What's all that banging?"

"Oh, exactly, Jake. Unh...oh...OH...oh God...Ohmigod...yes, yesss, YES! YES! *gasp, gasp* *pant, pant* "Yes, Jake, I'm fine. I'm just...hoo boy!...doing it with a neighbor. The laundry, I mean...doing...holy shit...the laundry with a neighbor. The washing machine is bumping against the wall."

"Okay, Bells. That's cool. Hey listen, I'm going to go brush my teeth and floss. Call me when you're done."

"Sure Jake. It may be a while. I think Edward needs my help. He's got a few more loads. This could take a few hours."

"Oh...well, okay...I'll brush and floss twice then."

;)

-okay- that was my little gift to you, vicki!

Thanks for the review and for the wanton thoughts about washing machine sex with Bigward...and I think you know what I mean by that. *wink*

Okay, don't like the thought of Edward and Jessica, BUT I will forgive him, he was a young, pervy 17 yr old.  Forks doesn't seem to have that many options...

I can only imagine what view Jasper is talking about.  Why do I have the feeling someone lives in one of those apts that face each other?  Please let it be Bella...

It is nice to see that Edward's mind hasn't changed much since he was a young teenager.  LOL!

Can't wait to read more...

Karen



Author's Response:

Hi Karen!

Gah!!! Behind the times again!

So...to chapter 9 first of all...

None of us really likes the thought of Jessica, but Edward was young, there was some peer pressure coming at him from several directions...Jessica and Jasper...And you're right...Forks doesn't have that many options. Besides...the chances of him bagging the Spanish teacher were not looking so good.

And the view...well...that's another chapter. I'll get there to that review in a bit. ;)

And yes...we're finally getting to see a little bit more of Edward's thought processes. He's still got that edge that he had as a little Pissy Youngward as well as little Pervward's thoughts and dreams. LOL

I'm going to try to update the Transfer before I post another chapter of OST. We'll see how that goes...this story has me by the hand now and is leading me along. It's hard going back and forth. :)

Thanks for the review once again, Karen. I always enjoy hearing from you.

Oh this is getting really interesting..

why you nervous about it?

Author's Response:

Hi TSO!

I was nervous about chapter 9 because of the Jessica factor...didn't know how that would be received. I tried to paint her a little less annoying than canon. And I didn't want to make him seem like a jerk for having sex with someone whom he obviously didn't love...but I think he would have still been sweet to her, so...lucky Jessica. And Edward got to practice.  lol

Thanks for the review. Hope you like chapter 10. Let me know.

loved this chapter poor Edward and his first time with Jessica (bleh) lol.  hmmm the view must be some girls in the apartment complex.



Author's Response:

Hi vicki!

I know, right? First time with Jessica...well, a boy's got to get a little practice in. And all that peer pressure...from Jasper touting experiences one could enjoy like a smorgasbord and Jessica wanting to jump Edward's bones. And anyways...Edward didn't have much of a shot of bagging the Spanish teacher that night. LOL

And the view...well that's in chapter 10. So I'll respond to that elsewhere. :) But you were on the right track. :)

Thanks for the review.

I'm back. Well...you found chapter 7 interesting still, but the flashbacks were getting to be too much? Poor Edward with all that prom goofiness and his little bomb-diggity-horn-dog self. ;) I'm such a linear person...it's a real challenge to tell a story in bits and pieces and ebb and flow from past to present.

Author's Response:

Oops...last review was for chapter 4 not 3...I mentioned wrong one. This is what happens when you are beleagured with two stories on plural sites.

Now...chapter 5...Emmett and his love of "Strokin' Off"...in more ways than one, probably. Poor Edward. Having to sit through that. I just love tormenting Edward with Emmett. It's too bad Emmett lives so far away in Port Angeles in the story, he needs to continue to torment Edward on into adulthood. Hmmm... maybe a phone call!!!

Angela needs to be a better friend and tell Bella not to settle for the "dog".  Which chapter is it when he goes cliff diving again?  He seems like a decent guy, but Bella is settling.  Also she has an issue with the age gap between her and Edward, but the one between her and Jake is okay?  She needs a good friend to smack her on the back of the head, where are Rose and Alice when we need them?

I laughed at Edward's obsessive thoughts at dinner.  Really sharing her saliva?  Having her declare how she and Edward belong together at dinner had been laughing.

Looking foward to more...

Karen



Author's Response:

Hi Karen!

GAH! I'm so behind with review replies!!! I don't know why I let myself get so bogged down. I get to a point where I am struggling getting updates written and then I can't even bring myself to reply to reviews. It's an illness. :)

You are right about Angela...she needs to set Bella straight, but she doesn't yet know there is a problem...neither does Bella. :) Only WE know that she is with the wrong guy.

I loved the "cliff diving" reference. It's come up a number of times in reviews. ;) It always makes me laugh. I guess I should include it...make Jake have a harrowing cliff-diving experience at the end of a chapter, and then leave you all hanging from that cliffy (LOL), to come back to the next chapter and see if I've really offed the guy.

He is a decent guy. Just like in Twilight. But you are right about Bella settling...just like in Twilight...she would have been settling if she'd stayed with him. She still does have that age gap thing with a younger man...although for some reason it's okay for her to be three years younger than the guy. She has always also seen Edward as her tutee and then her student. He has always been behind her in school, college, and in a career. Now, however, she is seeing him on a level playing field...although she has Jake blinders on. So there is a big dilemma to get past before this becomes a B & E story.

You said she needs a good friend to smack her on the back of the head. Maybe she needs a new friend in the guise of a former student.

Glad you are still enjoying Littleward's pervy thoughts. I love that little hormonal guy. ;)

Thanks for the review. I hope to have a new chapter up mid-week. Thanks for reading and rreviewing.

fantastic chapter as usual.  It makes me wonder how this is going to turn around and become a Bella/Edward romance.  So many obsticles, and Jake sounds like a really decent guy (though busy).  Answer questions and leave me with more, thats why I keep coming back lol.  Sorry you were having some writers block issues.  Just remember you are doing this for free and to express your artistic nature (wish I had some talent in the writing department, so not going to happen tho lol) don't let getting these chapters out on time and replying to reviews become a chore and just have fun.  I (and I am sure many others) will be here wether you respond or not and wether your next chapter comes tomorrow or in three months, and I will be happy when it comes because your stories are just that good.  I have laughed because of you, cried because of you, and sighed at the fluffy romance because of you, thank you for sharing your talent!  Now go write the next chapter...J/K lol.  Take care of you my author friend and as always looking forward to next chapter.  Vicki



Author's Response:

Hi vickic!

Sorry it has taken me FOREVER to reply to this review. GAH! I spent quite a while on an update for The Transfer and finally got that posted, but then I fell behind with One Stupid Thing. And for some reason I can't get myself to review much while I am trying to write a chapter and update something.

Glad you liked chapter 8 of OST. This will turn around and become a B & E romance. There are indeed obstacles and Jake isn't a bad guy, so this will take a bit of time to get where we're going. And yes, I know I answer questions and then leave you hanging with new ones. I'm just plain evil like that.

Thanks for the pep talk regarding writer's block. I tend to get bogged down. I don't know if it's because I've got two stories going at once or because this one is so convoluted. :) I appreciate your kind words, though. I'm glad to know I have loyal readers that will not give up on me.

I'm hoping to have a new chapter up by about mid-week. *keeps fingers crossed*

Thanks for the love, vicki!

So now I want to know what happened on Edward's 21st b-day.  I laughed at poor injured Edward with his one track mind.  The poor boy is in pain yet he still has the mindset to perv on Bella.  Typical teenage boy!

Bella has finally started to see the light.  Now she just needs to throw what's his name off of a cliff.

I will sit back and wait for her to tell Angela and I all about Jake...

Author's Response:

Hi Karen!

So, so, so, so, sorry about the lengthy wait between your review and my two-week late reply. :( I felt kind of listless about writing. I guess I was kind of in a funk. I finally got my act together and finished a chpater 8 this morning.

So, you were wondering about Edward's 21st birthday. You'll get a little more on that event in chapter 8.

And poor Littleward and his post tree drop injury lst chapter. Banged up but still ready for any imagined action his pervy little mind could conjure. ;) Such a cute little horndog.

I love how everyone is aching for me to throw Jake off that cliff-diving cliff. When the tide's out, I'm assuming? Thought so. lol Well, you'll get quite a bit of background on the jake story in chapter 8 as well. And Angela has a lot of pretty interesting thoughts to share. If only Bella were listening to them and thinking of how they can be applied to how she feels and is resistant to feel about Edward. But we've got to give her time. She's got to come around and see what's right in front of her.

Hope you like chapter 8. I look forward to hearing from you. I always really enjoy what you have to say. Thank you for that last review. And once again, I'm sorry I was such a slacker in replying.

Author's Response:

Hi vickic!

Holy crap! Two weeks behind on the review reply. surely you must think that I don't love you. But it's just not true, Fanficvic! I'll always love youo!

I was just incredibly bogged down and feeling unable to write. I guess that's writer's block. Pretty severe when you can't even bring yourself to write review replies to your loyal reders. :( So sorry, bb!

But I picked my little fingers up finally and applied them to the computer keyboard and eventually produced a chapter 8 that I'm happy with. So now I can go on with my life!

So...Bella and her younger man phobia...She's going to hear some interesting thoughts from Angela, who used to have a phobia herself. Maybe Bella will take those words to heart... Nah...who am I kidding? lol Seriously, there are other factors iinvolved in keeping her from seeing Edward as a potential love interest. You're going to get that in chapter 8 as well. And you're still wondering about Edward's 21st birthday??? More on that in chapter 8 as well. I'm actually pretty pleased with the things I accomplished in the new chapter. I hope you're going to like it when you get the chance to read. It will answer some of your questions but it will leave you with others. Because I'm evil. ;)

Hope to hear from you soon. thank you for the last review. I promise to answer in a more timely fashion this next time around. I think I'm feeling "funk-free" now.

I know Edward has a great crush on Bella.  More Like Love..  Bella has a hang up on younger men.  That is sad.. 

I thought it was funny about
Edward getting caught look at Bella.  that was total fun!

I dont' think Bella truly love Jake..  it a big mistake she will figure it out soon I hope.   I like to know does she have the same memories of Jake has she has Edward.  mmmmm



Author's Response:

Hi Nona Cuddles!

OMG! I can't believe I've let your review languish for two freakin' weeks! Shame on me! Somebody spank me! Preferably Edward. ;)

I'm so sorry this has taken so long. I got rather bogged down, evn in my writing. I finally posted chapter 8 of One Stupid Thing today and realized I'd better get back to my review replies like a good little girl.

Edward does have a great crush on Bella. And I think you're right, it's not really a crush, not after all this time...it's love. Bella does have a hang up regarding younger men, but that's not all of her problem. There's another aspect to theeir relationship in the past that has her balking at the thought of him being any kind of a love interest. More on that in chapter 8. ;)

You'll get a look at her relationship with Jake too. He's actually not so bad. But he could be so much better...if he were Edward. lol

You wondered whether she has the same kinds of memories of Jake that she does of Edward. Also in chapter 8. ;) I'm pretty happy about chapter 8. I think it will answer some of your questions and give you some new questions you'll want answered.  lol

I hope you like it when you get the chance to read. Let me know. Thanks for the review.

I will admit I laughed at poor Edward falling out of a tree.  He literally fell for Bella.  The sad thing for him is, he fell before he got to see the "good stuff".  He didn't even get to see a pillow fight at the sleepover.  Poor boy.  Then to be found out by your father.  He should have pulled the "Pet Sematary" card.  Maybe the cat came back, they do have 9 lives you know.

I got excited at the mention of Jasper.  Please let him come into the story, kilt or no kilt (no kilt has some possibilities here).  Oh yes and 3 yrs isn't too big an age difference.  There is 2 yrs between my hubby and I.  Of course we were 18 and 20 when we started dating.

Looking forward to more as always

Karen



Author's Response:

Hi Karen!

That poor little Pervward DID fall for Bella, didn't he? And thank heavens God was watching out for him, not allowing him to become the pervert that he nearly did. ;) Poor Carlisle...coming to the realization that Little Edward was INDEED just as bad as Emmett. ;)

Jasper...yep he'll be in this story. He's Edward's best buddy growing up,; same age. I don't imagine there will be a kilt, though maybe I'll figure a way out how to get a kilt mention in there...for old times sake. ;) I think you'll like this Jasper...he'll be kind of an outdoorsey, granola-eating sort of philosophizer.

And the whole three years thing...so many of my readers are 2-5 years older than their hubs. You all know it's fine, I know it's fine, Edward sure doesn't give a shit...but Bella...she's got issues, plus they just have a weird past, in addition to the whole tutoring thing...there's more. You'll going to get a lot of that very shortly.

"Sometimes you get so wrapped up in what you're reading, that you don't even realize that you're not really there in that book. You forget you are not in that story with those characters you've come to like so well and feel you know so thoroughly. You step into their little universe and you forget there's a whole other real world out there while you're spending time in theirs"

You just described what reading Twilight is like for me, as well as at what reading your stories is like for me.  I get lost in your characters.

Emmett, Emmett, Emmett...there really isn't much to say about him.  He makes me laugh.  You seem to be able to capture the childlike qualities he has.  Yet you also show the protective big brother side.

Jake was mentioned...not happy with that.  Can you send him cliff diving?  Please?  I am trusting you here...

The mind of 13 year old Edward is a scary and fascinating place to be.  It makes me glad that I can't read minds, especially around young teenage boys.

Looking forward to more

Author's Response:

Hi Karen!

I'm so glad you liked my little nod to being totally enamored with Twilight and the resulting fanfics and loving being lost in this little universe. Yep. That little paragraph was intentional and directed to all fanfic readers:

"Sometimes you get so wrapped up in what you're reading, that you don't even realize that you're not really there in that book. You forget you are not in that story with those characters you've come to like so well and feel you know so thoroughly. You step into their little universe and you forget there's a whole other real world out there while you're spending time in theirs"

I've been a long-time reader of Master of the Universe and the final chapter was recently posted. I didn't know until I read it that it was the final chapter. Yikes...it was like having the rug pulled out from under me and I'm still reeling and numb as if someone died. Sort of. I think you know what I mean.

So back to your review: I'm glad you like my Emmett...I guess I really see him only one way---constant torment and loving older brother.

Sorry about the Jake thing. I have to do it...but trust me... ("Trust me."  -E. Cullen) I do love the cliff diving scenario, however. Maybe when the tide is out...?

Thanks for the review(s). I'll reply to the one for Chapter 6 in a day or so. Happy Water for Elephants Day!

Banner...Emmett could never be a nightmare (oops snorted some cokezero outta my nose at that statement) but he is a great big brother.  Loved this chapter, to bad the Cullens didn't have a pool.  Could you imagine the little pervs reaction if she wore a bikini running around his house with Alice and Ang...hee hee.

Hi vickic!

Sorry this is a few days late, but after so many chapters with me you should probably be used to it by now. :)

Emmett...even when he's bad he's good, you know? And of course when he is good, that doesn't last very long. lol In the next chapter Emmett isn't even necessary, Little Pervward does it aaaaaallll to himself. ;)

I know...the Cullen's with a pool---but there is going to be a community pool, I think. not quite sure.

Sorry about your continuing teeth-dilemma...my own have always been pretty darn bad and it looks like my daughter has inherited the worst of my teeth's qualities. She'll just need to marry some rich dentist. :)

Thanks for the review of chapter 5. Hope you like 6. And Happy Water for Elephants Day! This is my birthday weekend, so I'm going to think of the movie as a gift from Rob to me.

I love horny little teenage Edward.  I am surprised though that his grades are improving.  I really don't think he is focusing on schoolwork when Bella is tutoring him.

These little tidbits of information that you are letting out keep a person wanting to know more.  A great way to hook a reader.

Will Alice and Jasper be making an appearance this time around?  I love how you write Jasper.  I still reflect fondly on his kilt...

Looking forward to learning more about these two.

Hi Karen!

I don't know how I let this review from you sit here for nearly 2 weeks unanswered. I'm soooo ashamed. I think my problem is I've got too much going on on too many sites now. Plus there's that annoying little thing called "a job" ---it just really cuts into my writing time.

I'm glad you love my little Horndogward. ;) His grades are improving because he really IS very bright, just never put out the effort until Bella walked into the kitchen. and once he saw how positively she reacted to a few good grades, you can bet he is working hard to remember everything. Maybe he goes back to his room and studies once she has left since he was so busy ogling her while they were working together. lol

I'm glad to know you feel kind of "hooked" by the little bits of information. It's kind of hard to decide what piece of information to drop here and there. I'm really such an organized, linear, chronological sort of person...telling a story this way really goes against the grain. :)

Thank you for the review. I should post chapter 5 today or tomorrow. Yippee!!!

Thanks for sticking with me and thanks for the review, Karen!

His crush on her (@13) is really sweet. That he stood up for her and took care of her from the get go. Its interesting how time and age can change things. I wonder if she is engaged at this point (the 8 months previous) but I'm guessing no because he would have noticed a ring.



Author's Response:

Hi grabadietcoke!

Sorry it has taken me sooooooooooo long to respond to your review of chapter 4 of One Stupid Thing. I've been working on my other story and have to get back to this one. I'll post chapter 5 this weekend. It's almost done.

Glad you like the peek into Edward's crush at 13. He was her protector even way back then. Time and age do change things so it should be interesting to see how this morphs. You'll find out shortly about her love life, but you are right---there was no ring spotted. Good detective work there, grab-a-d!

Thanks for the review.

well the only positive thing about waking up at 4am with a toothache and having to wait for pain med to kick (with an ice pack too lol) is the fact that you posted YEAH for toothache lol.  I love his little pervy 13 year old soul.  and when did they kiss that was a nice little clue of background to come.  Love this story, sorry I am ramblin think the meds are kicking in wooo hooo banner looks great by the way! 



Author's Response:

Hi fanficsicktoothVicvickic!

I hope that put a smile on your booboo mouth. I've had tooth problems a little lately myself. But...glad I was able to help out at 4am when you were up and miserable and medicating.

I'm glad I'm not the only woman loving pervy little 13 year old Edward's soul. I think it's just knowing the potential there. And when did they kiss??? Well...you'll have to wait and see. And keep your fingers crossed that it will happen again. (Oh, come on...you know I write the HEA...have faith. But yes...it's a background tidbit.)

Thanks for the storylove. Hope your tooth is better soon. Glad you like the banner. I'm really happy with it. Just you wait...the gazebo is an important location. ;)

Thanks once again.

Hi Bella Rose!

Glad you think it's cute. I'll tell Little Edward...just as soon as he comes out of his room---the door's locked...no telling what he's doing in there. lol

Chapter 4 is up. Hope you like it. Let me know.

Thank you for reviewing.

I really don't like conversation hearts, but if they could get me an Edward I could learn to like them.  I love the sweet side of Edward that you always manage to show.  I love that he kept the hearts and didn't eat them.  When I read what they said, I thought, he better not eat those hearts!
I love the visual of Tyler getting tag-teamed by Emmett and Edward.  The two Cullen boys are my hereos, protecting a damsel in distress.

I am liking these peaks into Bella and Edward's histories.  I also like that we are getting both points of view.

Can't wait for more!

CM



Author's Response:

Hi CM!

There more! I updated chapter 4.

Conversation hearts don't really float my boat either, but it's fun to think that Little Edward saved that box and those three candies and put them away for safe-keeping. Who knows what else got put into that box over time?

I love the sweet side of Edward. I'm glad you were thinking he shouldn't have eaten those candies...and see? He didn't!

The Tyler Crowley beatdown is proving to be a favorite. What's not to love about beating the crap out of a lesser character? LOL I love the two Cullen boys. There's an Emmett chapter you're really going to love. I love Emmett picking on his younger brother--as if you didn't figure that out in the Transfer. :)

I'm glad to know you like the peeks into their pasts and hearing both POVs. I just hope it doesn't get confusing. Seems like everyone reading and commenting is okay with it.

Thanks for the review. I can always count on you!

awww he defended her what a man (at 13 too) I am so curious to where this is going and happy to have a new story from you sorry it took me so long to find it.



Author's Response:

Hi again, bb!

Yeah...even at the young age of 13 Edward is feeling the need to protect what is "his." I think this story will be a fun ride. At least I hope so. I know what the crazy ending is..so I think it will be really awesome. :)

Glad to see you...er...read you again.

Thanks for the review.

oh boy a firm handshake that leads to a young boy molesting himself lol  the things that boys do amaze me (scares me too since my son is 16 and who knows what bad business he has got himself into lol)



Author's Response:

Hi vic!

Thanks for following me! I have a 23 year old son. It's probably best if I don't know what the hell he does in his spare time. Little Edward...all those raging hormones and the need to molest himself...lol

Hope you like the update. I got a new banner too. Check it out!

Thanks for the review. Let me know what you think.

Author's Response:

Hi vickic!

Are you one of the vics from fanfic or Twilighted? It's confusing coming to another site and sometimes people have a different penname or else it's just out of context to me. Sorry for my confusion. I'm old.

I'm glad you are looking forward to this. I think it will be a fun ride and I already love this little Edward of mine. He's such a trash-mouthed hothead...and that comes to a complete stop around Bella.  ;)

Thanks for the review.

Consider me your stalker, you can't hide from me :)

I read this chapter this morning and then had computer problems and couldn't review, so I came back.  I am not finding this confusing.  You are doing a good job of separating pov's and times.  I am really interested to see where this one is going.

I am glad you can reassure me about HEA.  I don't mind the journey to get there, as long as I know it will get there.  I know you won't let me down LOL!  I will keep the faith.

Till next time,

CM

Hi CMStalkerBabe!

It's nice to see you...or, er...your reviews. :) I'm glad to know it's not confusing going reading this thing. I think where it's headed will be a fun ride.

And yes, I do love me my Happily Edward Afters, so you needn't worry.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

I felt even more comfortable with the time jumps in this chapter.  I think this is working well.  The characters are interesting and I'm getting hooked on the story.  Thanks for posting this, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Hi C!

Ot's been a few days since you sent this review and I've let it languish. I'm glad the time jumps are okay and glad to know you think things are working well with the story so far.

Thanks for your review.

I thought this was an interesting start.  I did get a little confused at the beginning of the chapter, but it didn't last very long and your re-cap at the end reassured me that I understood it.



Author's Response:

Hi Coleen!

I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you with more info regarding a banner, but I'm thrilled you're considering doing it for me. I have to contemplate a little more. I don't have a Rob Kristen stash, so I'm going to leave it up to you, but I'll get back to you in an email. Just been kind of busy today.

I'm curious where you were confused at the beginning of chapter 1 and if it's something I can straighten out. You said the re-cap straightened it out and that you did indeed understand right. Still...I'm wondering but it's not that important if you got things ironed out in the end.

Thank you for the review.

Okay, like it so far.  I am hoping and praying (maybe you can reassure me...please?) that this will end up Edward/Bella.  I couldn't stomach if she ends up with someone else.

Looking forward to see where this one is going...

Author's Response:

Hi CM!!

You found me!

You know me...I am a member of Team The Pretty...not the dark side...Team Bow-wow. lol I love canon coupling, so B won't end up with Carlisle or James or Charlie or anything kinky and perverted/ill like those things. I firmly believe in a HEA---"Happily Edward After." ;) But it'll be a real bitch getting there.

Take care, CM. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
