I think Edward needs to have a little chat with Jasper and tell him that he needs to start following his orders.    He may be the head of security, but that's all he is.    Edward is the boss and he needs to start listening to him, not doing his own thing and contradicting everything Edward says.

I think Edward should hire Bella to be the kids' nanny.    They all get along really well and have fun together.

I just love Bella and Edward's conversations with each other and am definitely looking forward to more of them.    I still say she should become his nanny and watch the kids.   They love her.

Oh, Jessica is not long for her job at Edward's - thank goodness.    With the way she acts around the kids, and the way she blatantly flirts with Edward - she's history.

I kind of figured Edward would ask Bella to be the kids' nanny.     They just love her to bits.

I am loving that Edward and Bella are talking to each other.   And Jasper, he just needs to chill out.   And I have a feeling Edward is going to tell him the exact same thing as well.

I'd love to know how Sasha got into Edward's house to begin with.   And I hope Bella gets over this thing with Sasha quick, because it totally was a misunderstanding.    If it wasn't, he sure wouldn't have left Sasha to run back to Bella.

If anything, Stark will be amazed at what Bella has done, and basically all by herself.   She singlehandedly protected everybody there and got rid of the bad guys.

Bella, a good girl, was dumped by her long-time boyfriend. Edward, a young doctor, is feeling suffocated by his father's plans. Waking up next to a stranger is a shock for a good girl. Seeing the girl of your dreams run out on you the morning after sucks for a nice guy. What if two blue lines will bind the two together for life? What if they can't even remember how they came to be? AH

I'm really waiting for things to get started between Edward and Bella.  While its great that Rose and Em seem to be getting together, that should be Edward and Bella.   

But I did feel bad for Edward and what he obviously is missing out from his own parents - love and support.  Renee is really a great mom and treated him just like a mother should.   I'm glad she and Charlie visited for a few days.



Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I promise it won't be long now before things between E and B will change. And Em and Rose will soon make some unexpected progress as well. See you Monday.

I was very proud of Esme in this chapter.   She has realized what a loon Carlisle was and has been for a very long time, and moved out and is seeking therapy to help put her life back together.    With this major change, I can really see her and Edward trying to mend fences.  



Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I'm so sorry for the delay in replying, but my family didn't leave me much time to go online during our vacay. Anyway, I'm back and here it goes ;). I'm glad you could forgive Esme or at least see where she's coming from. Understandably, Edward has a bit of a harder time, but he'll come around. Next up, we'll learn a bit more about Esme's past and Em and Rose have little bit to share as well ;). See you Monday.

Banner by Chandrakanta

Isabella Swan, an up and coming graphic artist, lived in the heart of the Gold Coast in Chicago. She was comfortable in her brownstone, left to her by her grandmother.

Edward Cullen, a lieutenant in the Chicago Fire Department and the head of the rescue squad in Department Eighteen. He risks his life on a daily basis, putting out fires and saving strangers from burning buildings and mangled vehicles.

She was an innocent…someone caught in the cross hairs of their obsession with fire.

He was a hero…a man desperate to save the woman who was in danger from a serial arsonist. 

Little did they know, this monster was going to be the catalyst to start their fire, their fire of passion.

I'm not quite sure what happened to Bella in that month, other than ignoring the one person who truly cares for her.    But it is obvious that she is in a better place, though, at least for the time being.    I am glad that she reached back out to Edward to go and talk with him.   I'm really hoping thing improve between them, because he really likes her.  And Emmett, good for Edward for sticking up for Bella even if he is upset with her.   He knows it wasn't done intentionally, and that she has real issues going on.

I'm glad that Edward is ending it with Tanya; she is not what he is in the market for.   Hopefully, that'll mean he will try and pursue Bella and get to know her.

I'm glad that Edward broke things off with Tanya.    She knew he wasn't looking for anything serious, yet she pushed it too far, and he had to end it.    He's better off anyway, if he is thinking about Bella.    Now, he just needs to find a way to figure out where she lives and meet up with her.

It was nice seeing Bella and Edward have this little interaction.   I also think it was good that Edward got to help Bella with her leg as it helped her see that Edward is a good guy.   The more she interacts with him, the more she'll come to start trusting him.

I'm glad that Bella opened up a little to Edward to let him know that she's hesitant toward men.   I'm thinking that without Edward really trying, he's going to break thru and truly get her to open up to him.

I'm wondering if Renee really knows what this guy did to Bella, if she is snowed into thinking he's a good guy or if she knows and just doesn't care.     Whatever it is, this guy really did a number on Bella.   I'm just glad that she has Edward to help her.    He is doing everything he can to help her.

I don't know who I hate more, James for what he did to Bella or Renee for defending it and letting him try and get away with it.  She is a horrible person, not to mention an evil woman Nd Imhope that they both get what is coming to them, sooner, rather than later.

I'm with Edward, in regards to his feelings about Bella.   Hopefuly, the more times she spends with him, the more comfortable she'll get.   She really already is, she just doesn't realize it totally yet.

Reviewer: cullengirl08 Signed
Date: 13 Jul 2014 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Oh my!!   Poor Bella.    Edward is definitely becoming someone that Bella can rely on, not to mention that she trusts him implicitly.   And Alice totally dropped the ball in this one, and I'm glad that Edward basically called her out on it.   

Reviewer: cullengirl08 Signed
Date: 14 Jul 2014 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29

I understand that Bella is effed up, but she needs to lean on somebody; have somebody in her corner, and Edward is the guy who not only is volunteering, but I think at this point in the story, he's the only one she really opens up to.    She needs him, and pushing him away isn't the right thing to do.

Summary:

Bella is a Drama Student in UCLA. Edward Cullen is an up and coming actor. When these two meet on the set of his new movie, sparks begin to fly. What does this mean for their current boyfriend and girlfriend back home? E/B pairing eventually. Rated M for Language and Lemons.

Oh, I definitely think that Edward should pack up and take Bella, Alice and Jasper back to LA.    Not only would that tick Rose off, but it would sick Esme on her and I think that would be worse than them leaving.    Though, before he leaves, he needs to break it off with Tanya.

I think Edward totally needs to kick Tanya to the curb, sooner rather than later - and Rose can join her.   I don't think Esme is very happy with either one of them right now.  

Reviewer: cullengirl08 Signed
Date: 14 Jan 2015 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Tanya brought that on all by herself - and way to go, Esme for telling her like it is and Edward for finally kicking her to the curb.    I'm so hoping the next one to catch Esme's wrath will be Rosalie.   I think that would be even more exciting than Tanya's grand exit!!

Reviewer: cullengirl08 Signed
Date: 18 Feb 2015 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Okay, after all that, I"m really hoping the Bella just breaks up with Jacob and ends things with him for good.   Drunk or not, not to mention the horrible way he's treated her lately, hooking up with Leah would definitely be the deal breaker.   And Rosalie, I'm thrilled that Esme kicked her out.   She and Tanya deserve each other.     And now that she's gone, the rest of them can have a nice relaxing holiday!

On a side note, I'm very sorry to hear about your grandfather.   You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Loved Bella and Edward's gifts to each other.  And I am so happy that Bella finally broke up with Jacob once and for all.   Tanya is history, Rose is out of there and Jacob has been kicked to the curb...  now we can concentrate on Edward and Bella.   Loved it!!

Reviewer: cullengirl08 Signed
Date: 27 Oct 2015 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Oh, I believe Rosalie is desperate and a bitch.    It's okay for her to blame Bella, who is an innocent bystander in all this, then for her to take a stand and tell her family the truth.   She's gotta know that the truth is going to come out eventually.   At this point, I'd rather Bella just fill Edward in on everything now and save herself any future misery.   

And as for Jacob, Bella should have said something to campus security about him, instead of just letting him walk away after threatening her like he did.   She needs to fill Edward in on that, too.

And I'm so happy that this will be continued as this is one of my favorite stories.



Author's Response:

Thank you.  As soon as my Beta gives me her ideas for chapters, I'll get them written.  Right now, I'm tapped out.  I had it written and ending with chapter 13 and my beta didn't want it to end.  She's never asked me to continue with a story line before, so I decided to listen to her.  :D

Yeah, Finally Conner is starting to be the man she hoped he grown up to be.

Thank you so much for your support for this story.  I never dreamed when I started it I would get so many people involved with it.
