I know I am a bit late for this story, but just got to know about it.

Thanks for your story. It was super!

dadward is my fav

Happy you kept this story here. I loved the beginning and the later chapters frustrated me but in a good way. Thanks for sharing!

A baby. No birth control will do that to you. I think we all wondered if they'd had sex the whole time with no protection. I mean he'd been with woman in his past she with Mike and who knows where he'd been so unprotected sex was something I thought about. Sweet name for the princess.

See, once Bella explained her needs to Edward and that they were reasonable ones based on her past submissive dependence on Mike and she didn't want a replay on that...Edward was understanding and told her he too missed her while she was away. Doesn't mean he wasn't at fault for not explaining his side though.

I see why Edward's family would be questioning why Edward had to hire and escort to take to this function. Really Edward? Have to stoop to hire a date. Ick. And of course Emmett had to force Bella to attend thinking E/B would be forced to interact but did he know or think Edward would take a date?

It took a month and accidentally Bella and Alice living in the same building for the Cullen clan to reach out to Bella and vice versa. First I think family members in general don't go over to the opposite side of a break up, rather stay their distance and not get involved. So it's interesting that they all got to together with Bella and then Emmett offered her a job, the same job Edward offered her first and she refused. Of course Bella should take Emmett on his generous offer and leave a place she feels used.

Duh Bella. Of course everything Edward said was right. He may have been equally as deficient in his communication skills and weary about emotional issues but he is a smart businessman in this area. And so she gets upset with Riley's secretary for throwing in her face that she was hired for just the reason Edward suspected and she walks out on an important work meeting. I'm thinking the smart independent thing to do would be to keep showing her work ethic and then leave when the time was right, not in an emotional fit.

Bella took all that crap from Mike for the longest time until HE threw her out and now she leaves Edward without at least trying to communicate her needs to him. Although Edward wasn't thinking clearly himself, with time he'd realize that he couldn't just leave Bella in NY as it sounded like he wanted to do. So Bella runs to Jake, smart now that she knows she has someone to run to. But why hadn't she ever reached out to her parents? just a thought Now she's at her apartment to get her things and comes upon an abused Jessica, wow.

How ridiculous. Going to the police over the attack was right and just thing to do. But immediately from that they go to sex. I'm sure the idea was that Bella would want some loving diversion from the attack but honestly, what woman would be sexually assaulted and after all that she went through in the aftermath want to have sex and then Edward argues about keeping her in New York as he set up for her. Silly Edward. Why discuss like adults? lol I know it makes for good drama.

James and Victoria are pure evil. Did they set this whole thing up with Victoria spilling wine on Bella's dress knowing she'd go to the ladies room so that James would follow her. And what business man in his right mind would do something this evil in the mist of a formal gathering. Did he not know Bella would either yell during him coming after her in a locked bathroom or at the least tell Edward at some point and surely he'd go after the brut.

I'm so glad Bella finally told Edward she's been interviewing for jobs. Now Edward needs to be completely honest with her if he thinks that Riley isn't to be trusted and why. If Bella knew that company was the Gray Knight she'd be understanding of the situation.

Their first time was on a piano with everyone in the area? Anyone could have walked into the room. Did they go all the way? No condom? I'm a little confused.

First of all, what made the skank girls start saying Bella was A whore and that Edward is known to 'date' whores? James at the end says he wants Bella now since he thinks she's an easy woman. Why would everyone jump to that conclusion? Just based on a few woman gossiping? And then Mike starts talking about the same topic? What is it about Bella that would deem her a prostitute?
