Talk about dilemmas.  Edward is obviously interested, duh, and has further proved this by the kiss when he helped put her to bed.  Bella then resolved to point out suitable alternatives for Edward to date hurting both his and her own feelings in the process.  Oh, and she so missed her opportunity to properly find out his age during that conversation, obvious or not it wouldn't matter 'cause Edward's interested.  Now Bella's regretting her clever plan as seeing Edward with Tanya hurts more than she probably thought it would. This leads us to the spare bedroom with Tanya, Edward and Bella, dun dun dun!  I think a BJ, at least, was the order of the night but the question is did Edward initiate this to be caught on purpose knowing that upstairs was out of bounds and that's where Bella was?  Hmmmm, there's nothing like making someone jealous to bring out the possessive predator in them.

Jane x

Cubward, so cute, lol.  She's so inappropriate it's funny.  At least now she has an age for Edward and although he still can't buy his own alcohol, things aren't quite as bad as Bella thought.  Poor Edward, hahaha, I think he was rooted to the spot with lust and embarrassment seeing Bella in her yoga outfit and pose, they're just lurching from one embarrassing encounter to another, it's priceless, lol.

It still amazes me that different states have different ages of consent, it must be so confusing.  Can't one age just be agreed on?  It would be so much simpler, like here everyone knows the age of consent is 16 so there's no room for someone to turn around and say they thought it was different between say, England and Wales.

Jane x

Certainly is interesting and I can't wait to read the rest, find out what happens.

Jane x

Okay, so I'm taking it that although Bella seems to think Edward is 18 he's not, he's 17.  Going off what Emmett said about Edward and his birthday in the summer, having a party and getting a car I'm now wondering whether he's actually 16 and skipped a grade because he's so clever.  Can you do that in the US?  Ooooh this could be seriously messy even without involving the law.  Given what Bella's doing with Edward, how will she feel about her son being with a 27 year old woman?  Will it be a case of double standards because Emmett's her baby?  Emmett talked about being a legend at school, how can he think that this won't get back to Bella if his mates at school know?  Oh dear God, the can of worms is open, well and truly.

Jane x

Bloody hell!  Trust Emmett to go and spoil it for us....I mean Bella and Edward, lol.  It's such a shame that Edward can't take the piss out of him whining for his "Mommyyyyy" Bwahahahaha!!  I couldn't stop laughing at him wanting his Mommy and promising never to drink again and let's not forget the "I love you."  Just wait until he has to clean his bathroom, I think the I love you will have gone out of the window by then. Hehe!  Cleaning up Emmett's vomit, as far as I'm concerned, was above and beyond for Edward, so sweet and thoughtful.  The week ahead for both Edward and Bella's going to be a test of wills to keep their hands of each other.  Will Edward be dumping Tanya straightaway?

Jane x

Bwahahahaha!!  Mission accomplished.  Is Edward going to be a good boy or is he going to be a really good boy so that Ms Swan ruins her panties?  Lol.

By the way, I meant to say that I don't know how anyone could call this story boring.  Were they sure they were reading this and not something else?

Jane x

Oh my God!  Has Emmett got some sort of cock blocking sixth sense or something?  Lol.  Bella caved too quickly, she should have stuck to her guns that Emmett's grounded, how will Edward react to this news?

Jane x

Finally they did the deed.  Bella seems to be suitably impressed and Edward didn't embarrass himself, all in all a good show, lol.  I get the feeling that they're both going to be like kids in a sweet shop from now on. *grins*

Jane x

Wow!  Alice was a bit brutal wasn't she.  I can see her point but to just go Edward's jugular just like that, well woah there little pixie, slow down.  I'm glad that Edward will have Jasper to talk to.

Jane x

Now that theory did cross my mind and it would explain why he wouldn't have sex with Tanya although so would the fact that she wasn't Bella, it could have been for both reasons, *throws hands up in the air* I don't know, you have my brain in a tizzy and then there was the conversation with Emmett when he brought Rose back to Edward's.  There is also still the confusion over his age (I would go back and look over past chapters but TWCS is being an arse and keeps dropping the connection, it would take me ages, lol) it's not been properly resolved yet.  That was close with Emmett, they could really do without being caught again.  I don't care how old Edward turns out to be at this stage because one way or another the shit's going to hit the fan big time when everything comes out.

Jane x

Hmmm, I think Scumbanner's biding his time, he's been entirely too quiet since what he dd to Bella.  Is Emmett really spending the whole week with his Dad?  I just don't seem him passing up an opportunity to spend time with Rose.

Jane x

Awwww, see she could say it sober too, lol.  I'm so glad that Edward was able to say it and that he got the response he wanted too.  So sweet.  I do keep expecting them to get caught though. *sigh*

Jane x

So Bella turned into the hypocrite sort of, as she did believe that Edward was 18 but she's right she should have checked.  It looks like Rose might just think she's dodged a bullet but then with Emmett leaving I have to ask is he really going to his Dads or is going to try and make things right with Rose?  I feel so sorry for Edward, more than I do for Bella really.  Yes Edward should've told her but he's the randy teenager with barely any control over his dick and we all know what happens when that rears it's head, big brain goes on holiday, lol.  Bella really should've made sure she had all her ducks in a row before she started this.  *sigh*  This story is full of should have's, what's important now is what are they going to do about it all?

Jane x

Hahaha!!  Parents aren't stupid, of course they know somethings going on but could they imagine that Edward and his best friend's mum, his teacher are having sex?  Will they think that's what their son is up to?  They may think that Edward's gay and Emmett rejected him, after all he's spent so much time at his house.  Lol.  

Bella will answer the phone, she can't stay away and Alice has given her hope. All they have to do is keep their hands off each other until Edward turns 18. Emmett is a different matter altogether and I should imagine will want to do some blackmailing.....I mean bargaining of his own to get what he wants and to stay quiet.  Alice knows Rose, so maybe she'll be drawn further into this, you know, to do more 'bargaining'.  Lol.

Jane x

So the shit has really hit the fan now.  On a positive note, at least Carlisle and Esme haven't gone straight to the police so that means they want to avoid any scandal.  Are they doing that just to protect Edward or is Carlisle's career and their standing in the community coming in to it as well.  They might want to think about how they were happy to leave Edward to his own devices so much, how selfish and wrapped up in each other and Carlisle's career they've been, they weren't bothered about protecting and looking after their son then were they.  I can understand their outrage and anger but if there was nothing more to it I would expect them to go straight to the police but people will point fingers at them and how much they left Edward alone, he was bound to get into some sort of trouble.

I'd love to know what's in this letter Bella's writing, lol.

Jane x

Give that man a prize!  I have a new found respect for Carlisle.  So now I know what they were hiding and Carlisle was trying to find out who his rival was.  Esme was one brazen hussy and somewhat of a hypocrite, okay her younger man may have been legal but the pot was still calling the kettle slightly black. *raises eyebrow*  I feel sorry for Carlisle that he was put through that for years and because he loved Esme he couldn't bring himself to end it.  I feel sorry for Edward too that it affected the love and care he received and how ultimately, it affected the way he and Bella were treated. Secrets and lies have so many repercussions.

I'm glad that Carlisle told Edward everything and that he would have dealt with it differently if it wasn't for Esme, boy didn't she give herself away, and I'm really happy that he's going to help Edward to find Bella.  Oh, and just to say, three and half years, he didn't go through that bag for three and a half years........eeuwww!!  Lol.

Jane x

Awww, what's he like?  Lol, nothing like hogging that limelight.  A proposal at his graduation, perfect and just like Edward to go for what he wants and not wait, loved it.  I'm just so happy they're back together, in love more than ever and getting married.  I'm going to imagine they have a perfectly happy and long life together.

I've really loved this story, thank you for sharing it.

Jane x

Oh wow!  I loved this.  It's so sad that both Jasper and Carlisle find themselves in positions where they have to hide what they are,  but then fate brought them together.  I'm so glad they found each other, they may still be hiding but at least they have each other.  This is a fantastic story and I'm sad that it wasn't meant to be longer, but then I'm just like Jasper......greedy, lol!

Jane x

Edward's time on the streets was hard to read about but it needed to be part of the story, what he went through and how he survived and reached the manor and eventually Jasper.  I've really loved this story you always weave a good tale.  Thank you for sharing it.

Jane x

So it seems that although Edward couldn't bring himself to go looking for his own family, they've come looking for him.  Does this have anything to do with Rose or Barbra?  He's so much happier now I hope this doesn't upset him and set him back.

Jane x

Edward's being offered jobs, that should surely boost his confidence.....well it did in one way and Jasper got the benefit of that, lol.  I love how sweet these two are together.  Why do we find two men kissing so hot?  I will be pondering over this for he rest of the night, lol.

Jane x

Edward could do some labouring for Emmett but it's definitely a good idea to get him involved in the garden and the greenhouse.  I don't think it's just about the money for Edward I think he wants to be useful as well, not just stand around watching.  Wasn't Sandra surprised, lol.  I bet Rose could've killed Jasper when he escaped with Edward into the house leaving her with Sandra, hehe!

Jane x

Edward getting his first blow job was amazing, what an experience, he'll definitely be back for more, lol, so will I. Hahahaha!!

Jane x

Jasper's mum talks a lot of sense, I'm glad she turned up.  It doesn't seem to have crossed Jasper's mind that Edward doesn't mind being in the same bed with him or the fact that Edward grabs hold of his hand whenever he offers it.  I know the remark Edward's dad made about him playing the piano could be taken in different ways but having a gay son would just be another reason for him to physically and mentally abuse Edward and then throw him out.  I'm thinking none of this has dawned on Jasper because he's been too focused on trying to make sure Edward's alright whilst at the same time keeping his distance and trying to deny his own feelings.  Thank God they're making friends, lol.

Jane x

Sometimes we build things up in our heads and the fear of thing stops you from doing what you should.  Jasper recognised that Edward has done this and was then avoiding what really was inevitable, it was time to go back, face his demons and put it all to rest.  I'm glad he went to his mum's grave. 

Jane x

Poor Edward, it's so sad that he was treated that way and obviously made worse by the fact that it was by his own dad.  I can't believe he hit him with a belt, I bet I know what Jasper would like to do to him if he saw him.  I'm glad they talked properly it was definitely time.  Hopefully now, Edward can start to feel a bit better about himself and gain more confidence.  Unfortunately there are always the bigots out there like his dad so I hope he doesn't come across too many, they could just send him right back into his shell.

Jane x

He's getting braver and braver.  Lol, Emmett and butt sex, he's so funny and will never know what he's missing out on.  I love how all of them have just come together and are now one big family unit.

Jane x

Edward is innocent and shy but he's also brave because when he discovers something that he likes and wants again he does actually ask for it, not many people would do that because they'd be too embarrassed.  I know that Edward is embarrassed to a certain extent but he still asks or makes his mind up to just go for what he wants, like I said, I think he's brave.

Jane x

What does Jasper have up his sleeve?  That bath sounds very tempting.

Jane x

Lol, there's nobody like Emmett.  In he goes with his giant size tens and organises everyone and fully outs Edward and Jasper, job done.  It's going to be hard going for Edward and his family with the catching up they need to do but I hope he can already see the complete acceptance he has from them.

Jane x

Edward is so sweet and so inexperienced it's a refreshing change.  It was the perfect end to the perfect birthday.

Jane x

Oooh I like this.  It's took me ages to get around to reading it but I'm totally sucked in and can't wait to find out more.  I loved Jasper's description of Emmett and his relationship with Rose, lol mostly the fact that Emmett's firing blanks, bwahahahaha!!  Is it childish to laugh about the snip?......Ahhh, I don't care.

Jane x

Poor Edward, he's stuck emotionally as his fifteen year old self, this could be a steep growing curve for him.  I like Alice's namesake Ali.  What happened to Alice, is she still around?  Lol, was it morning wood or was is 'I like you' wood? Hehe!

Jane x 

Hahahaha!!  Edward certainly got more than he bargained for from both Rose and Bella.  Lol, he's managed to get himself a date with Bella to get to know her better and this from the man that said he didn't see girls more than twice.  Well I suppose he could still claim that but he'd be lying to himself, he's so far gone on Bella.

Jane x

Oooh Edward has a temper.  What on earth did Emmett do to Rose?  I wonder if Edward ever thought that his life would come to holding an oboe to ransom so he could get laid, lol.  Does he realise at all how desperate he is?

Jane x

Lol, Edward's a tad full of himself isn't he, I think he's met his match in Bella she's not going to let him off at all, good for her.

So I'm back for more football, still not understanding it, still thinking it's like our rugby with shoulder pads and helmets, lol, still thinking it's totally hot.  It's all those glistening muscles and testosterone, hahahaha!!  Shallow?  Me?  Never.  Lol.

Jane x

God, these guys are comedy gold, lol.  Four kittens!  Emmett and Jasper are complete softies, well Jasper's more like a spaced out giant kid, lol.  I don't know how Edward copes and if this goes well he could, potentially, be spending so much more time with them all.  I'm sure that Rainbow will defend her man against Rose, lol.

Jane x

So how much more proof does Edward need that he's falling for Bella, he even has photographic evidence and the 'L' word nearly crossed his mind, hahaha.

Oh my God, Emmett!!  He really doesn't do anything by halves.   I bet Rose is glad she wasn't there when she hears about this.

Jane x

That's what he thinks, lol.  Edward's done a complete 180 in just one week, this is a really big change for him.  I hope all these new things he's feeling don't scare him into doing something stupid.  Rose is going to be even more pissed off at them now.  Will Bella be able to cope having to keep fending off all these girls that Edward's been with?

Jane x

Oh my, Emmett had a threesome and it wasn't the one we all thought it was, lol.  Will this become Edward's life mission to find out who it was with?  He may need to bleach his brain. 

Awww, bless him, he's still not recognising that he loves Bella.  Well I suppose we can't expect more than one miracle at a time, lol, he'll get there.

Jane x

Bwahahahaha!  I love the way that Edward speaks before his brain's in gear.  How will Bella take this?  Will she be happy and return the 'I think' sentiment or will be offended that he isn't quite sure?

Carlisle and Edward talking about love, so effin funny, especially the confusion over Esme and pregnancies. *snort*

Jane x

Oh my God, talking to Jasper when he's high is like trying to catch water in a sieve, lol.  Rainbow has good taste.  My cat Callie used to like sitting on shoulders and cuddling into my neck when she was a kitten, she's a bit too big and heavy now, she's a Maine Coon and nearly 4.

Library sex......will they be working on more places?  So far they've done the locker room and the library, I haven't forgotten any other have I, apart from the usual?  Lol.

Jane x

So Bella's been hiding her light under a bushell.  I know she's not one to brag but still, why has everyone kept even just the fact that she can play other instruments secret?  I still think there's something else going on with Bella, it just seems really strange that she would say 'I love you, Edward.  Never forget that.'  Why add 'Never forget that' unless she was insecure about something or knew something else was coming up/going to happen?  Edward's just told her how proud he is of her.  Hmmm.

Jane x

Trust Esme to come up with a way for Rainbow to travel, lol. 

Surprise!  Awww, wasn't that a lovely one. *happy sigh*  I'm sure Charlie's going to love Edward, not sure about Rainbow though.  Will Edward be peeing up Bella's leg when he meets Riley?  Hahahaha!!

Jane x

What a total prick Riley is.  Is he trying to goad Edward into hitting him?  He's know what it would cost Edward if he did that and Riley is the sort to run off and tell everyone.  In some twisted way he probably thinks that Bella would feel really sorry for him and come back to him.  I hope Rainbow really goes for him, lol.

Don't you just love Edward's ego, it just never gets deflated at all, hahahaha!!

Jane x

How many women have plotted, planned and engineered a meeting with the object of their desire and gone on to have very successful relationships with that person?  I should imagine it's more that we can count.  I know that it's now become a whole issue of trust now that Bella has been discovered in her lie.  Had she confessed to having planned their meeting right from the beginning then it wouldn't have been an issue but, as Bella pointed out, Edward would likely have walked away because he would have seen her as a player and it's not acceptable for him to be played, after all, he's the player.  Edward had to have time to get to know Bella on a more personal level and now that he does he's fallen in love with her.

So, I guess what Edward needs to think about is whether the way Bella got them together with a little white lie, is now too big to overcome for him?  Being so new to relationships has this destroyed all his faith in what he was beginning to trust?  What it boils down to is whether Edward can forgive this lie and trust Bella again or not.

Jane x

Lol, it was pretty underhand but sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do and let's face it Bella was right, partly, Edward would never notice her in her band uniform but we'll never know if he would have noticed her a different way, if she would have naturally appeared on his radar.........yeah, probably not.  Bella would've had to have engineered a different kind of accidental meeting and so again I ask, how many women women out there have met their other half by plotting and planning?  Sometimes you have to show a man what's right in front of his nose.  Lol.

Jane x

God, Edward's such a big head, but we love him anyway, lol.  I'm so happy that Bella stood up to the Grandmonster (great name) and told her what's what.  I can't believe that she actually offered her money to leave Edward.  I really don't know how Esme's kept her hands to herself all these years, lol.

I'm really glad that Rose talked to Edard and that they've called a truce, things would have been seriously awkward otherwise.  It's so sad that we're nearly at the end story.

Jane x

Lol, lots of tents pitched on this camping trip and the mosquitos had a good time too.  I'm so glad the trip turned into everything that Edward and Jasper wanted after all that wondering and longing for each other.

Loved it!

Jane x

Lol, I can just see them having a tug of war over the laptop.  I bet Bella was drooling, I would have been.

Jane x
