So the servants and valet have been dismissed as well. Usually the peerage gentry thought they were alone even when the servants were in the room as they had been trained to ignore their presence since childhood.
I think Edward is nervous as he knows he is not healed enough to put on a controlled and tender show for Bella’s first time nevertheless he doesn’t want her to notice “the show” that he can’t stop happening because he is obviously interest in her.

Edward runs his family's tour company, which offers one-day itineraries around the Puget Sound. Bella is a tour guide. What sites will these two explore? This is a sweet and light fic about an E/B romance that blooms fast and deep. The rating is for a reason, even if the build-up seems tame. Now complete.

Edward is supportive; he always has Bella’s best interests in mind.
I don’t supposed they saw each other that much at work as she was often away on her tours but now it will be school hours if she gets the job.
Of course with the way Edward is moving and given both their ages she might be pregnant in the not too distant future.
Great story

Leah didn’t think Jake handled it well, well that’s an understatement.
Sue seems slightly brash but maybe it’s just the strangeness of the situation.
Edward is a peach as always.

Bella’s quiet thoughts were not disapproval of Leah but she was self-conscious of intruding on a private matter between mother and daughter. It goes to show that unless you are a mind reader you can misinterpret body language that’s why verbal communication is so important.
I always think that women in same sex relationships don’t really present a problem for parents wanting grandchildren as their daughters can get pregnant, it’s just the contributing male thing they have to think about and even if they were in a hetero relationship or marriage doesn’t mean it would last.
Anyway Bella and Edward look like the ideal lovey-dovey well mannered couple on the outside but are sizzling, I was going to say behind closed doors but the doors or windows are not always so closed, the scamps.

Edward sure learned a lot as a teenager but then again I supposed he’s watched his share of stuff and has a willing partner to try it all out, especially since they are so suited and can turn everything into a plus.
Even though they haven’t been together, together they have been quite smitten with each other for some time and have certainly gotten to know each other outside of the now intimate aspects of their relationship. They may have appeared to have been just colleagues during that time but as Edward said, he hung on her every word.
Now we have to see how Charlie will view their relationship. I think he is observant enough to see that Edward is very serious about Bella. He approved of her relationship with Jake who strayed at the first opportunity, so this time he should be more observant.

Naughty Lauren, she must be up to espionage and gone to the opposition.

I wanted to comment on the last chapter by had already done the coffee cups.
Poor Edward he’s quite the exhibitionist but at the same time he’s also quite the prude.
Very funny chapter.

Ah now it's on here too. I haven't read this one to see if it's more raunchier, i don't suppose it could be, but it's all good clean fun.

So far they're identical. If I ever need to change that, I have this version that can stay in tact.

Those two, I just hope they can always be on each other’s wave length but I supposed they are an ideal B&E.

Poor Lauren I think she will get a rude awakening when Heidi dumps her.
The only thing I can say in Heidi’s favour is at least she wasn’t someone used by Emmett when in his manwhore days.
That’s why I’m glad it turned out good for Jess and Mike as I didn’t like that Bella told Mike to lie to Jess to get sex from her but maybe Bella knew if Mike put more effort in he would get a relationship he wasn’t expecting.

XOXO
Author's Response:
Ah, I hadn't thought of Bella's banter with Mike as serious suggestion that he like to Jess, but if it came across that way I should consider revising a little. Thanks for the review - love to get feedback like this because it makes me think!

Sure sure Heidi’s bad but Emmett is far from innocent, so he decided to clean up his act for someone he couldn’t get otherwise, big deal.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sticking with me until the end. :-)
Date: 17 Oct 2012 Title: Chapter 101: Chapter 101
I saw on FFNet that chapter 100 showed as complete and on TWCS the chapter itself showed fini but the story summary showed no for completed at the ch 100 stage, so was not entirely surprised to see 101 but thought it would be about a baby or something.
I assumed anyway, unless they are very unlucky, that Bella will become pregnant in the next couple of years.
They had already started to settle down near the end which was good as they would have to tone it down once the children came but I think being parents will be their next big adventure and I think each stage of their lives together will be one adventure after another.
I don’t particularly want to hear about Renee, she’s served her purpose and is only a bit player in this story as Bella’s very much an adult.
I am glad Edward being gorgeous and smitten and sexy and the love of Bella’s life didn’t have to be rubbed in Jake’s face. Jake found out before Bella that they were not suited and would have had a mediocre life together at best.
Whatever life he has with his Brazilian person is beside the point. Jake breaking up with Bella freed her to find an exceptional life partner and she will have an exceptional life with him, with no regrets.
Thank you again
Luv
XOXO

Good feedback, thanks. On the "complete" status for TWCS, truthfully I just forgot to mark the story complete when I posted chapter 100. Ha ha.
