With love 4 Edward,

Author's Response:
Hi again!
After this many years of marriage my hubs has on occasion bought me tampons and bought them for our daughter as well. The very first time was rather entertaining: He actually bought me pads once, right after I had given birth to our first child. I think it was his way of thanking me for giving him a son. ;)
Interesting theory on the flowers tied with black ribbon.
No...no pregnant Bella in this story. At least not for now...
Thanks for the review.

Author's Response:
Hi t!
After all that nonsense in the grocery store it's only logical that it would follow them home. Poor Daddy C...he needs Esme to help him through his conversation with Mrs. Grope. He's just lucky he was in his car and she couldn't get her claws into him. ;) And you gotta love Jasper and Emmett all worried that Edward's engaging in advanced sexual technique that they are unaware of.

Gotta admit...the grocery store mayhem chapter is one of my favorites! Poor Edward...everyone is so concerned about his unit. Obviously they're worried that he has forgotten in the past few years of inaction that he has to take responsibility for his sexual activities. And I would certainly join in any Cougar Fest that was focused on those Cullens!

The game was a little confusing, but I liked the carefreeness of it. Loved the Emily and Edna arguments...so funny.
I liked Alice's tantrum on the ground. I could easily see her doing that.
As for Jasper, I think it's easy to see him doing something like that because of the way you have written him. And its nice to think of Jasper as carefree instead of burdened like he was in the book. Anyways, if its still ok, I'll pick him up tonight, say around 6-ish??
Author's Response:
Hi pix!
I guess I figured the game was a little more widespread than it is. We've played it with friends and our son has played it with his friends. But at least the carefreeness of it came through and that was really the important thing. I didn't see them playing a regular baseball game, but I wanted to include something with baseball. ;) And I can really picture Edward and Emmett calling each other Edna and Emily and giving each other a hard time about their ball-playing skills. And Alice having a tantrum on the ground seemed right. I like her and Bella both being terrible at sports. Why should Bella always be alone in that?
Thanks for picking Jasper up in a timely fashion. Make sure he brushes his teeth tonight and remembers to floss. and he likes to be cuddled until he dozes off...if you allow him to doze, that is. ;)
thanks again,

"Death By Boner" should have been the title for chapter 40. Poor Edward... And Esme and Carlisle do love Bella...she's put a smile back on his face. Guess that means when they finally have sex she'll be putting an absolutely loopy grin on his face. Think the folks will notice the difference? ;)

James is soooo creepy, I was interested to learn more about him via Laurent, it builds the suspense. Nice moment for Laurent. I was SURE he was texting James. Bella was good to be mad at Edward, whose sincerity I find so touching :) Hmm, I wonder where the nasty sneak is hiding... it would be interesting to hear about his stalking, from his perspetive? Infuriating and unsettling, but interesting... nice work here :)
Author's Response:
Hi frances!
I'm glad to know you found James to be creepy. That means I got that across right. LOL I think as a reader you don't know whether to trust Laurent or not. I guess like in Twilight. He was helpful in Twilight but he was a definite bad guy when he was cornering Bella in that field. And he didn't offer any real answers for Edward, regarding James, he just filled in a few more blanks...and we got to see his room and it was shrine-free.
Awww...thank you for letting me know that you find Edward's sincerity so touching. The thing with his character is that he's suffered a loss and he's frightened at the aspect of experiencing that again. I think that's what makes him so fragile even though he's Bella's protector he needs reassuring.
The nasty sneak...I'm sure he'll pop up again when we least expect him. ;) That's all I'm saying on that topic.
Thank you for the great review. You're obviously really thinking about what you're reading...I love it!

Aww...okay Edward got a little stupid this chapter, and Emmett got....smart? Is that possible? I guess so. I think my favorite part was Alice's reaction to Edward coming up. I got a good laugh at that one.
I'm glad Jasper is prepared for another night away. I'll be by in a day or two to pick him up from the curb he's been waiting by. Thanks for being so good about lending him out...and keeping Alice at bay!
Author's Response:
Hi pix!
Well, every so often Edward's protective Neanderthal takes over and rules his decisions. And Emmett getting smart...well, he IS a Resident Advisor...for some reason someone thinks he has something to offer in the way of help and common sense. maybe it's just how he acts around his friends and siblings that make him seem goofy. I love it when Emmett comes through as the big brother ...I can almost see him in a superhero cape. ;)
Alice...making sure things stay G-rated in that dorm room. ;)
I love the thought of Jasper sitting patiently out by the curb with his little overnight bag packed and waiting. It makes me grin like an idiot. I can just picture it so easily. What is it about that character that makes it easy to imagine him doing something so childlike? :)

CANT WAIIIIT FOR SATURDAY!
And, just to let you know.. i'm thinking of putting my story up. It's honestly not much of a story yet because of exams and all this work, but it could be a prologue? And once exams are over, I could work on it more. It's hard for me to get inspiration to truly write and keep going since I doubt myself a lot.. but hopefully this will work. What do you think? Should i?!?!?!?! Eeek.

"Hey Bella.” A smooth, velvet voice whispered in my ear, causing butterflies to erupt in the pit of my stomach. And also scaring the shit out of me.
“EEUUHHHH!” I yelped loudly, chills spreading across my body violently. I turned and glared over at the offender, feeling my cheeks burn up as I noticed the whole class turn quiet.
Smirking deviously he coyly asked, “You okay there, Bella?”
Licking my lips, I answered him with a blunt “Fuck off Edward.” Adding a sweet smile, I fished out my soft lips tube and skillfully glided it on. His eyes locked on my lips and bounced back and forth between them and my eyes, all the while I was simply looking up at him through my long mascara-coated lashes.
(tehe, is that awks? mascara-coated.. I just feel like Bella never wears make-up, not that she needs it. But IDK!!! I felt like I should add it in? kk continue-darkky)
“That hurts. Fine, sit there and ignore my agony over your cruel words." He huffed, pretending to actually give a rat’s ass.
“Edward, you know I love you!” I replied warmly, giving him a huge grin. His recently pouty lips broke out into a wide smile, his eyes twinkling.
no???yes??????? GKDAFMAFA horrible? ):
Author's Response:
Hi DARK!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't we ALL hate James??? Yes, yes we do! He is a disgusting bastard. Edward, on the other hand...who can't wait for Saturday...*wink*...is sex in a cup!
I'm so proud of you that you're going to post your story. It always worth a shot. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of writing that I'm now starting a third story. YIKES!! I haven't posted it yet...but maybe soon. I think it's going to be hilarious!
I think the bit you let me read sounds good: a snarky Bella, a sexy Edward, they must be in high school, no? And obviously they are friends. She's interested in him and maybe he is too? Or else they are just friends but will become more? And your Bella is certainly allowed to wear a little mascara with her lip gloss. :)
I think you should keep going, most definitely. Do you have an overall summary of the story? I'd like to read that to know where we're headed.
Good luck to you, bb! I'm glad you're giving it a shot. It's fun!

I loved the teasing about the PDA, but Edward's internal monologue about various scenarios with Charlie was my favorite part.
The scene where Bella confesses what's going on with James was really compeling. I love the suspense of wondering what James has planned.
Thanks for the update!

If you liked Edward's inner monologue with the Charlie convo, you'll like when he actually gets to Forks and is there under Charlie's watchful eye. LOL That's going to really bring out those monologueing tendencies. ;)

Considering how long it takes to really recover from the flu, they're probably better off going to Forks for the weekend instead of consummating their relationship. IMHO.

Sorry this is a week late. But summer is here and that's a good thing. James...he sure is intriguing and possibly dangerous!

I remember you saying you were a teacher too.
Our last day was the 5th of June. I too am moving g rade levels, but not rooms thank God. I am 11 days away from having my second child so I am doing a whole lot of nothing!!!
I read the majority of your story in two days while on bed rest. So keep the chapters coming....also, if you have any reccs of stories that are almost finished, finished, or have at least 20-30 chapters and are still WIP then let me know! It is going to be a long two weeks!
Take care!
Author's Response:
Hi real teach!
I'm wondering if you've had that little baby of yours yet. You said 11 days away, so that myust mean a C-section...otherwise how would you know how many days??? I had two children myself. 3 years apart. It's harder when there are two but it's also twice as fun.
Anyway...Edward is a smart boy, figuring out James' situation. Hope you like the next few chapters. :)
I managed to give my final exams, grade them, pack up my room and get signed out right on time. In the fall I'll be in a new room, sometime before that I'll have to go in a see the new space (and what's wrong with it, because you know something will be...) then I'll get to unpack, set up, gear up and go. I'll be teaching the same levels but I'll have a new textbook and I'm not looking forward to starting all over with that. But oh well...maybe in 5 years I can retire. :)
I'm fairly new to this site, so I don't have an real reccs for you yet that fit your requirements.
Good luck with the baby. Hope to hear from you again when you are able.

Of course I'm still reading. I unfortunately can't always review right away and I forget to go back and tell you what an awesome job you are doing!
Poor Edward playing the catch up game with the James situation...at least he figured out that James is stalking her. Maybe her dad will help out with a restraining order. I loved Emmett's comment about Jasper's inability to keep a secret.
In regards to Jasper himself...if I were to be the cause of the ripped kilt, I certainly wouldn't tell about it...kind of like I don't kiss and tell only I don't rip and tell. Anyways, glad you could mend it. I may take you up on that offer to borrow him again sometime.
Good chapter... can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response:
Hi pix!
Glad you are still there, reading away, reviewing when you are able. You're just rqcking up the Jasper-Giveaway-Points!
Poor Edward is right... you know he hates to be left out of the loop in something like this. But we also know what a hothead he can be and how he might react to finding out something like this. Take chapter 53 for esample..... Well, read it when you get a chance.
Having a cop for a dad can't be a bad thing if this is real, right?
And Emmett...knowing that Jasper has loose lips. Well, actually ,pix, you know that by now too, right? ;)
I told Jasper you might take me up on the offer to lend him out once again. The boy didn't say a word...just packed his little overnight bag and has been sitting politely by the curb ever since. Don't worry...I bring him in at night. ;)

When I gave birth to my first child my husband went out and bought me pads...I think it was his way of celebrating and thanking me for having given him a son. LOOOOOOL
Poor Edward...toting the tampons...and we thought he drew the line at feminine hygiene products...oh well, there's a first time for everything.
Thanks for the review.

I enjoyed the chapter! Poor Bella. Poor Edward! Every man's shopping nightmare! But he survived. The check-out lady was fun. I think Emmett needs to find out about Edward's "special" purchase for Bella!
The Edward and Charlie interaction was a lot of fun. I always enjoy a little Team "Fathers with Shotguns."
I'm sure we'll hear more about the flowers (tied with a black ribbon!) and I wonder what Jake is up to.
Author's Response:
Hi Coleen!
Glad you liked the "in sickness and in WHAT" chapter. ;) Buying tampons IS every man's nightmare. I think my husband bought me pads right after I gave birth to our firstborn...I'm sure it was his way of thanking me for giving him a son. ;) Can you just imagine the crap Emmett would have given Edward about coming back to the dorm with a bg containing tampons? ;)
There's more great Edward/Charlie interaction coming in the future. Glad you liked their telephone conversation. And keep the whole concept of "Fathers with Shortguns" in your mind for when we get there. There's a definite theme to be mined there. ;)
Thanks for the review. I just posted chapyter 52 and I'm still catching up on other reviews.
Talk/Read/Write soon. ;)

I think my favorite part was Bella getting caught looking!
Also, in an earlier chapter, I had actually wondered about Edward's laundry, so I'm glad that was resolved here.
When I was reading the lemon (Bella using her mouth on him) I found myself wondering whether that was something he had done with Tanya, and if they had done that, whether it might be something they had only rarely done, since they were teenagers.
The Very Cullen Weekend was a lot of fun and had some really sweet moments. I'm looking forward to seeing them back at school and moving forward with their relationship.
Author's Response:
Hi Coleen!
I'm sorry I'm overdue on this review reply but the good news is I've only got two days until summer vacation. YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked chapter 49...they both looked! Bella got caught but Edward confessed to the crime too. ;) How can they not check each other out? I mean...Edward for sure, right? I don't know that I'd check out Bella, personally, but I can see the allure she has for Edward. ;)
I'm going to say that the oral sex is something Edward experienced before. But probably not that often. He and Tanya were young, yes, and weren't together for that long when she committed suicide, but he apparently has done that before. And I'm going to also say yes...they didn't get to do too much too often, being teenagers...although we all know where there's a will there's a way. We'll hear what he (and Bella, too!) hasn't experienced in a coming (teehee "coming") chapter. There is something for him and Bella to experience together. It's good. ;)
Hope you continue to enjoy.
Thanks for reading and thank you for the review.

I loved the citrus-y parts to the chapter... Edward and Bella's relationship is growing quite nicely. I think my favorite part of the chapter was the early morning for Bella and Edward...mmm.
Anyways thanks for sending Jasper my way...with the kilt... It was fun. Just kidding (although I wish it had been a reality, but who wouldn't?)
Update soon please!
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
Sorry I'm so overdue on my reply to your review. I just gave my last final today, have tons of papers to correct, but I feel like celebrating! YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway...your last review was for a few chapters ago. Don't know if you're still reading but things are going to get more and more citrusy, so if that lures you in...good!
Glad you enjoyed your time with Jasper. You returned him in fairly good shape, no worse for the wear, so I'm willing to lend him out again. ;) I was a little curious about how his kilt got ripped, but I patched it right up with a little handstitching.
Hope you like the next few chapters. I'll update chapter 52 tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for the review and for reading.

this ch. was so funny i was rolling on the flor hysiricly it was exacly what me and Edward needed but this specific quote is just.....priceless "It's really hard to do my grocery shopping and listen to your pornography at the same time." OMG edward pornography .....now theres an idea
well cant wait for the next chapter...oh wait? its just a click away! lol
love you mffw

oh turns out i already reviewed/"previewed" that ch. well i just merge it w/ this one :)
"Now where was I, before I was so rudely interrupted?" did u really forget edward or r we playing games now...we do love games
wow look at me acting all sexy and using the medical plural ;)
“I touched her melons" oh jazz i'm so sorry would it help if i let you touch mine to make you feel better?.....oh no its no trouble for me....really i think it would help..
love you mffw, awesome sexy chapter

Author's Response:
Hi Wascas! I have been missing you! I'm glad you are nearly done with exams. Yippee!!! I'm winding down the school year myself. One more week to teach then three days of finals. Then grading. Ugh! Then summer. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And loads of time to fanfic. That's always a good thing...all that Edward...mmmmmm...goooooood.
Glad you liked the grocery shopping with the Cullen clan. Poor edward...or is it Condomward? No...it's NOT Condomward...he pretty much established that as fact with each male member of his little family/gang.
Edward pornography...certainly something to consider...geez the visuals that conjures up, no?
There's several chapters up and waiting for you as a reward for studying and finishing up your finals like a good girl.
I love that you "previewed/reviewed" the following chapter. I'm up to chapter 49 now...just uploaded tonight. It's getting yummy. Edward is just really digging the physical aspect of their relationship. It's fun to think about him finally reclaiming his lost self after his post-Tanya's-death hiatus. I love thinking of him as "back among the living." And for as goofy as Emmett and Jasper have always been...there is that within Edward as well and we're slowly seeing it come out. I'm so proud of the boy! ;)
I'll send Jasper over to your place so he can thump your melons. LOL Better send the bf/fiance on an errand. ;)
Nice to hear from you again, mdfsffrar (my damn fine swanky fan fic reader and reviewer). Keep in touch, bb and good luck with the last two exams. The Transfer gang and I will be waiting for you with party hats on our heads and drinks in our hands.

You'll just have to read chapter 48 to find out the song B & E are dancing to...and since you asked so nicely, of course I'll send Jasper on over...in his kilt, no less! Just don't try peeking up his skirt!
Glad you liked the stories shared by the parentals on the childhood of Edward, Emmett and Alice...I couldn't help imagining what those three might have been like as kids. And those kinds of stories are always so much fun for a parent to share when the boyfriends and girlfriends of the kids come over. ;) hahahahahahaha

Yes a mini-cliffy...I hope you like the resolution of the mini-cliffy...you'll get more background info on E and his past. And he gets a little goofy once again...the way I love him best because you know that goofy has been sitting on the shelf for a few years, waiting for the fight person to come along for him to dust it off and put it to good use. Glad you liked the b-day party for Esme...the very exclusive after party is going to be pretty good too... ;)

You know this is your story. I am not going to poop on it for you. I just want to say the whole Jacob vs Edward in Twilight Series got to be stupid. Everyone has friends of both sexes. When you have someone that is your friend that develops deeper feelings you either cut them loose or you go forward with the feelings. You can NOT have it both ways. Either way you loose a friend.
I was that girl in high school that had many friends that were guys. They were my buddies. They called me for advice with their girl friends. I used to think that I was just not pretty enough for dates. As you grow up you understand the specifics of life and relationships. Now I am glad I had those friends. I am glad I was not the gossipy silly girl. I was more grounded and loyal.
Author's Response:
Hi MaryMary!
I hope you will continue reading. I know what you are saying regarding the whole Edward vs. Jake thing. But since I am writing a canon-based fic it had to be Jake vs. Edward; it just won't be a throw-away-Jake in this story. I don't like fics that make Jake a complete jerk. He's a good guy, just not the right guy for Bella. I get that because it happens sometimes that way in life.
I am trying to portray a love triangle that is not something any of the participants wanted or intended. It is an emotional struggle for the three people involved. It's also a slightly personal/autobiographical story for me and something I was able to relate to. My Jacob isn't a complete asshole. He has redeeming qualities which is what Bella loves about him and why she will always want to remain friends with him. Edward will also see this down the road.
But Bella and Jake are moving apart, as much as neither one of them wants that to happen...it is happening, it has happened somewhat already. Enter Edward, also unwilling to become involved, yet there he is, having feelings for someone when he least expects it.
There is a little overlap of time where you are unwilling to cut the ties with what you have have become familiar with, loved so long, and have cherished and you are unwilling to acknowledge the change within you that has you focusing on someone new. You feel like you are cheating but it is really just a growing -in-different-directions and a change of heart and you do have to follow your heart in the long run.
I think as you continue reading you will see that my background is actually really close to your own, at least I think that comes across in the story. There will be turmoil, but that is the result of misunderstanding and misunderstandings can be overcome. In the end all three characters will be on good terms with one another. Give it time. We'll get there. :)
Thank you for the review and for sharing your thoughts.

Your "review" or maybe it's a "preview" (of chapters you haven't yet read) had me laughing. It's okay when real life gets in the way of being a glffr. I know that when you have the time you will be a glffr again and then you'll even be a glffr&r ) "& reviewer."
I wish you good luck on your exams. It's a crazy time when those assholes roll around.
I'm glad to know you thought of me when you were unable to remain focused. What does that say about our relationship? It says I'm your ffw and you are one of my ffr. I will always welcome you and your reviews with open arms, whether or not you are actually reviewing anything in your review or not. ;)
Anyhoo...I'm glad you are still out there and that you haven't dumped me for some other crazy fffw. Keep coming back for more Edward/heroin/crack, whichever brand of personal drug you prefer. I'll give you your fix. ;)
Thanks for the "preview", my ffr.

Hi TSO!
Glad you liked that first chapter. Yes...it is a match made in heaven, they just had to go through hell a little bit first. But they'll get there. ;)
Hope you are continuing to read. Drop me a line and let me know what you think. Thanks for the review.

hahaha smooth pantry move by Edward
Author's Response:
Hi frances!
Glad you liked Edward's smooth move into the pantry with his girl to avoid Emmett and his probable guffaws. I know I'd be more than willing to follow Edward into a pantry...or a broom closet...or a storage room...or the attic...a panic room. Heck...I'd follow that boy anywhere. :)
Hope you enjoy chapter 45. I'm going to post shortly.
Thanks for reading and thank you for the review. Keep in touch.

I just finally caught up the whole story - read for nearly 6 hours straight. LOVE IT!!! I really do. the family, the relationshiop between edward and bella - they all seem so real. Cannot wait for further updates/developments!!
Author's Response:
Hi deecie!
Glad to know you are reading. Sorry I claimed 6 hours of your life with my story. :) Hopefully it was time well (?) spent. :) I guess the important thing is you were enjoying yourself. Thanks for the Storylove! I think I have made these characters feel rather real. I think a lot of readers can find something about each of the characters that feels at least a little familiar because we all have friends that are something like any one of these characters.
Thank you for taking the time to review and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. Keep in touch, girl!

I enjoyed the adventure at the grocery store and your Mrs. Cope is so funny. I'm not sure how this cake is going to turn out, but I have no doubts that you'll keep making me laugh out loud with your "Very Cullen Weekend!"
Author's Response:
Hi C!
Glad you liked the whole shopping adventure. Mrs. Cope...I couldn't resist making her a scary cougar. We're out there, ogling Cullens and Hales in those films...I figured I had to pay tribute. At least hopefully none of the cougars out there admiring those sexy young boys is quite as around-the-bend as Cougar Cope. ;)
Chapter 45 should be up shortly. I hope you enjoy the continuation of the Very Cullen Weekend. It gets kind of yummy if I do say so myself. ;)
Thanks for the review.

The shopping trip was so much fun. From the constant parade of condom packages to the shampoo bottle French, it was just great!
Author's Response:
Hi Coleen!
Glad you liked the shopping trip. I'm sure I'd enjoy my shopping trips more if my grocery store were filled with Cullen and Hale men...instead I travel around with them in my head. ;)
Poor Edward...having to deal with the Prophylactic Parade and the joke's on Emmett when it comes to shampoo bottle French!

the teasing and texting is so funny - makes my eyes water - you truly have a gift for dialogue
Author's Response:
Hi BellaRose!
Thank you for the compliment on chapter 43's texting and teasing dialogue. I do like writing the banter for this little group. For some reason I hear them all individually so clearly and distinctly in my head. Maybe that's scary?
I'm about to post chapter 45. Hope you get a chance to read 44 (if you haven't yet) and 45. I'd like to live at the Cullens' home. I'd really enjoy living in Edward's room at the Cullen home. I think I'd expire from sheer happiness if Edward and I both lived there. ;)
thanks for the review

Hi avid!
I'm a few days behind with review replies. I got a great laugh out of your comment:
<<Yeah I would be a cougar too BUT I could not in any way mention his mother before, during or after checking out his rearend!>>
Obviously Cougar Cope, aka Mrs. Grope, marches to the tune of a different drummer...or maybe she struts to the beat of a different tango. It's hard to know.
Thanks for the review and the giggle. I'm about to update chapter 45 so I hope you read up and enjoy.

Bella is always willing to be a little bolder when it comes to Emmett and his uncontrollable innuendo. Poor Edward...but at least he's got someone on his team now...and she's got good strategy. ;)

Hi again, Coleen!
Edward is always so focused on things that don't really matter---so overly analytical and paranoid that he's somehow going to do the wrong thing. Glad you liked the shower action---it went over well with Edward, too. ;)

I loved B and E's plan to tell the others different things! Their strategy session made me laugh out loud. I also laughed out loud at Bella's comment to Rose about the "sweaty animal sex." Great chapter! Loved the haiku too.
Author's Response:
Hi again, Coleen!
Glad you liked E & B teaming up against the others for a change. It's good to see them coming up with the prank instead of always fending pranks off. They did such great strategizing, didn't they? ;) And I think everything was pretty accuarately structured for the given target of each prank. I like a slightly ballsey Bella. It just makes her seem a litle more feisty and a little less of a milquetoast. ;)
Glad you enjoyed my foray into the world of Twilight fanfiction haiku. The field is pretty wide open. ;)

Ahh! The famous frottage scene that I've heard so much about from our friend Jayne! It was fabulous!
I loved Alice snooping around in the middle of the night too. Lots of fun!
Author's Response:
Hi Coleen!
Yes...the frottage scene. And it's so much more "frottagey" than "humpy." Am I right or am I right? I'm right. It sounds sexy. i'd do that with Edward. ;)Glad you liked their first real interlude. Emmett would have called it an "inter-lewd", but that's him, not me.
I'm glad you liked Snoop Sister Alice. I really liked including her POV. She's so important to E & B's coming together, she deserved a POV to star in for a change. And she's such a meddler...you know that good meddling goes on behind-the-scenes and at-all-hours. I thought that was a nice little peek into her personality and feelings about them.
Thanks for the review. Keep in touch.

Omg bb (I have decided that I don't care what society thinks it means...... I will use it as baby lol) but was that a shout out to me in the beggening or are u having an affair with another reader?!? ;)
"Rose was disappointed that there had been no wild, sweaty animal sex. Truth be told, I was disappointed too." i don't think I could agree more w/ Edward here " We were all laughing at that point but I was still secretly hopeful. It's good to have goals." yes, goals can help you be very very productive indeed
"Alice’s experimentation in nude poetry readings. Or reading, singular, if you were to believe Alice, and I really wasn’t so sure I believed her. I bet it had happened more than once." lol no comment necessary
" That click was so fucking loud!
It kind of made me feel like a dick.
What was she thinking of me right now? Did she know she didn't have to do anything she didn't want to do? She probably thinks I’m an idiot because I locked the fucking door." no she does not Edward stop being stupid we are all so excited about that lock :)
"Did she think I was going to jump her?" oh. Edward please... please ......please jump her
Very very amazing as always bb
Oh and if the shout out was to me then I'd have to say that an"Earth shattering orgasm" offers some relief ;) but u can never have 2 much Edward ;)

Author's Response:
Hi Wascas, bb!
Glad I've got you using the slightly enigmatic, yet affectionate "bb." ;) I just happened to get a strange, wayward thought in my mind...happens a lot, actually... How about if we begin using some other new abbreviation of our own making when we email others? We can use it often throughout the correspondence without ever really explaining it and see how long it takes to catch on??? Maybe even incorporate both lowercase and capital letters?? Maybe add a number and an ampersand: Ig2r&rFF. I kind of like it. ("I'm going to relax and read FanFiction.")
Okay, enough of my nonsense. I know you've got better things to do than read that nonsense and besides, when I'm done with this review reply Ig2r&rFF. ;) Wascas! I would never cheat on you and have an affair with another reader!! Perish the thought. However, it was actually a reference to Edward getting a little action after 3 years of inaction. ;)
I love when readers quote me back to me...I really like to know exactly what strikes you as funny/interesting/worth mentioning/worth quoting back to me. I really like this last chapter and the wild thoughts that are so obviously running through everyone's minds. Poor Edward...if he doesn't calm down he'll just have an aneurysm as he overthinks and overreacts and overanalyzes.
I'm glad you were amazed. The next few chapters should be loads of fun. I love the Cullen compound!
I'm glad you found some relief (along with Edward) after all these chapters. There will be more relief...some relief in nearly every chapter that...comes.... (Sorry, had to say it.) And you are right...you can never have to much Edward. (Actually that would abbreviate nicely: "Ucnh2mE"
Thanks for the review and the giggles and smiles. I'll post the next one shortly. Take care, bb!

Loving this story. Your writing isn't over-wordy at all, it's fabulous and builds the characters. Edward seems one way in Bella's eyes and you add depth, perspective when you change POVs.
I was really glad for this plot twist and I hope there will be a good one with James coming up... what can I say, I love the drama ;)
I'd also enjoy seeing growth in the girls' friendship. More on Rose?
Author's Response:
Hi frances!
Thanks for the Storylove!
I'm glad you are enjoying the read and don't feel like I get too wordy. And I'm glad you are feeling like you are getting to know the characters. And I'm glad to know you like the changing POV's. I think it adds to the story to see how they both view things and some aspects of the story naturally lend themselves to be told through one POV as opposed to the other. I hope it doesn't seem repetitive when you get both sides to a situation.
The plot twist on the hospital pick-up...a bad day for Edward, but things turn around nicely for him in the end. And as to James...well, we can't just let him idle there in the story, can we? ;)
Since Bella spends so much time with Edward there's not a whole lot of opportunity to do a whole lot with the other girls, they are supporting players, after all, and Rose even less so, since she lives in the other dorm and is usually tied up (perhaps even literally?:) ) with Emmett. But you will definitely see a lot more of the other four characters as we get into the weekend at the Cullen Compound.
Thanks for the great review. I'm going to go pat myself on the back for a while now. :)
Take care. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

You referred to the chapter as "wordy," but it didn't feel that way when I read it. The conversation they had was well done and interesting. You have a great feel for when to switch POVs. I love your Edward and his inner monologues! The ending was so sweet with the texting and them together in bed.
Well, that's all the catching up I can do for now. I'm anxious to read the next few chapters, but it will have to wait, as RL is calling . . .
Author's Response:
Hi again, C!
Glad you didn't feel that chapter was too wordy. I'm glad you liked their heart-to-heart. I have a much harder time writing serious than I do silly. Glad you like the switching of POV's. I just like to kind of keep things revolving and it always seems that one's perspective trumps the other for whatever the content is. Sometimes I re-tell the same thing through both of their eyes, but I know that can get too repetitive. I think with them coming together instead of being individuals there will be less of that anyway.
Glad you love Inner-Edward. He can be a little egotistical, witty, certainly dirty and yet completely honest in an endearingly vulnerable way, I think.
I personally love writing the texting thing between them. Thank you for the Textlove. They deserved the snuggle time.
Thanks for the review. Take care, bb!
