Great chapter!

Poor Rob, he must feel so betrayed! I think Jen handled it very well by telling him it's his decision and she will support it even though she has her own feelings.

LMAO at the jabs of the pattinson clan pointed at Rob's voraciousness! Is it time yet for them to explore sex a bit more? I can't wait for them to have secret dark desires for places or positions! I think they need to go shopping for lingerie together. Rob could use something sexy too!

Can't wait for outdoor sexy times! It would be fun if the paparazzi shot a pic of them in a comprimising position ;-)

Author's Response:

Thanks! yes.. it needs to be his own choice, Jen will def support him in what he chooses.. but it's ultimately his career.

I think we will find as Rob relaxes at home, and as Jen opens up more.. they will find a lot more to explore! hehehe

Rob in anything would be sexy i think.. but you want him in some silk boxers maybe? hehee

Some outdoor time coming! ummm....smirk...

thanks for the rad and review!

mwah!

YAYYYYYY! Butt kicking Rob and holy moly at the garage action. *fanning herself* Staiasha gave me a heads up but WOW. I want me some garage nookie now!

Author's Response:

HEEHEE! yes the garage is not just for putting your cars in anymore! LOL!

glad you enjoyed it my dear!

thanks for the read and review!

I can't come up with an epic poem at 1:30am, so you'll just have to settle for a plain 'ole review from me, lol.  I'm very glad that the conversation about Nick is out in the open, though I'm very interested in finding out what Rob plans on saying to him.  And I remember reading that about Rob and the punching bag, too.  Yum.

xoxo Sarah

Author's Response:

Thanks hun!

Great chapter.....I LMAO about "Little Patty!" That, was freaking hilarious!

Author's Response:

Ah those teasing sisters, how I love them.  And I'm so glad we got the angry garage sex!!!  It was really intense and fit the moment perfectly.  And just like everyone else I want to kick Nick's ass, but I really liked how you handeled Rob's reaction.  He's so passionate about Jen and I like that he really flipped out.

And again mmmmhhhmmm sweaty shirtless boxing . . . . . Yum!

Thanks P.P. Love ya!

Author's Response:

Gotta love big sisters! heehe

Angry Rob... we need to make him angry more often i think... grrrr.

yeah..nick needs some ass kicking... maybe the boxing will pay off?

thanks my dear!

I love you!

xoxox

OH.MY!!!

Alright Steph, I now have punching bag Rob etched into my brain! Please, please let us take another trip to the garage...

That was just raw and hot! And Jen, getting "caught" by the whole fam - nice! The shouted comment of Rob not needing more than 5 minutes - I almost spewed out my tea! I don't think I'd last 30 seconds with that man...GAH!!!

So glad they started the Nick discussion - and it should take some time for Rob to come to a decision. I could totally see Jen's POV about this.

I loved it - I know , what a surprise!

Author's Response:

Oh yes.. the garage will make an encore...

Poor Jen... she is going to have a hell of a time balancing schmexing with rob and trying to be proper and demure...

and the sisters are really mean aren't they? hehehehehe

glad you understand Jen's pov on Nick... it's alot more complicated than just firing his ass..that would be too easy...man must suffer!

Thanks so much my dear! glad you liked it!

MWAH! steph

I have little words and big words, but first...

Ah, the 'Stang!  Bless your heart, the 'Stang!  I will never understand how that boy can be driving around America with a foreign sport car.  I hope his father gives him a Rosie-worthy slap upside the head every time he sees it.  Okay, rant over.

So great how the lack of a filter catches up to her.  It would certainly be appropriate that, since he tells reporters and strangers stuff he shouldn't, that he'd tell his family everything.  I love how you've shown Victoria, as she is indeed the mystery girl.  I also can't wait for you to read about Rob and his father in LOC, 'cuz then you'll get to have your own 'stang moment.  Holy shit.  That's all I'm saying because while it's written, it isn't posted.

Fantastic chapter.  I can see the house in my head - you've described it so beautifully.  And the homecoming was perfect.  The lemony goodness needed to wait.  Just the love was all we really needed to see.  Right there in front of God and country.  Perfection.

As much as I wish I could click Next, I have to go to bed.  Tomorrow I am going to get caught up, and then I will begin to tap my foot in the corner.  I'm not a pesterer, but I get... anxious.  So you try for a five chapter buffer?  Me too - I have five chaps between what's posted and where my betas are done.  I have twenty between what's posted and what's being written.  It's frustrating and I want to close the gap.  Help me learn patience.

Loved it, Steph!  Thanks!

Author's Response:

Tanks my dear! 

Oh yes.. the 'Stang... i have a feeling Rob just doesn't appreciate waht Jen and Mr. P do... but then again.. maybe that will bring Mr. P and Jen together in a nice father daughtery sort of way...or father/ gril who is better versed at son sort of way...

I love the mystery that is Victoria... so she was a ball to write...

Oh can't wait for that LOC chapter now...heehe

Glad you could see the house.. it is his home after all and has special meaning to him...

and thank you for the apprecaition of the ending.. no lemons necessary for these two... at least not yet.....

yep..good place to end it... warm fuzzy feelings... so happy you have gotten so far. Yep just a few more chapters then you will be grumbling at me to update faster! LOL!

thanks my dear!

you are my fab eveil twin and Vegas will never be the same...

MWAH!

Claudia.  Tall with auburn hair.  Really.  You are a very naughty girl.  Okay, back to the story...

---

Now I  have to go make frosting for the cupcakes - chocolate malted cake with chocolate malted frosting and malted milk balls.  My five-year-old has very refined tastes, no?

Okay, the shopping trip was divine.  The spa was magnificent, and I want someone who can give me a Brazilian and make me giggle in the same WEEK, never mind the same visit.  I always fall asleep during a massage.  One of the things I learned in theatre was the value of a good massage and the ability to give one.

You were getting me a little angsty at the end, there, and as a frequent traveler, I laughed at the optimism of these two, with him leaving Chicago and her leaving New York, in December near the holidays - and still expecting him to arrive first.  I have grown out haircuts at O'Hare.  I suspected that he'd either be meeting her right at the gate having not cleared customs himself, or he'd still be in the air.  But Richard's cool.  Hopefully he'll have a 'Stang to take her home.

Poor Rob.  I hope blue balls aren't affected by changes in cabin pressure.  That would suck.

Author's Response:

HAHAA! cabin pressure can do all sorts of things to the body...I wonder what the solitary Mile High Club is called?

oh girl.... Richard and a stang? giggles and freaks out a lot!

i can't tal anymore... the blue balls still has me tittering...

MWAH!

steph

Oh, hallelujah!  There'd have been no living with me if this angst had gone on another chapter.  You give great angst.  Now knock it off.

I'm glad that it was Lizzy.  I do think Clare would have just wiped me out.  And Nick... I go back to my earlier statement - raging case of scabies.  Did I mention he should get that in August?  In New York City.  During a blackout, so he has no air conditioning.  Wow.  If that were my manager, he'd be my ex-manager.  Just sayin'.

Mmmhmmm... time to click the Next button.  But first I think I need a beer.  You're freakin' killing me.  But now you're headed to my neck of the woods.  NYC, here we come!  Yee hah!

Author's Response:

I can't do angst for too long..It's cruel and unusual... but thank you for liking it!

I love Lizzy...we have had this discussion before, right? I LOVE LIZZY! what a great sis!

AND BWHAHA! at Nick getting scabies in August.. with a side dish of ringworm?

manager to ex manager... well...we'll see now won't we...

Grab a beer and I think I'll need to as well... Now i am worried about New York... eeeek! I hope i do it justice...( I haven't been there since the mid 80's... OMG... that is just sad!) *** checking expedia for trips to NY**... after my begas excursion of course !

 

MWAH!

You know I'm genetically incapable of a blurb, and I'll certainly try not to write a book (well, not here, anyway).  I'd like to say I saw it coming in the glint in Nick's eye, but since I have a starry-eyed view of the power of Pattinson, I still thought he'd get in a text or something.  Not total radio silence.

Yet again I am happy that I came to your fic late so that I am not finishing this chapter and contemplating long stretches of time without an update.  Like seven or eight minutes would be a long stretch of time.  The weeks to which you allude in your author's note are simply mocking, right?  You didn't really do that, did you?  Ah, the value of the anonymity of fanfic world, that you could still safely start your car and go to work in the morning, secure in the knowledge that hundreds or thousands would not know precisely which car to wire for explosion...

And the build!  You knew what was happening.  You felt it.  But still kept paging, one screen at a time, hoping against hope that the next one would have... a text.  A call.  A picture.  Something.  Anything.

But alas.  Nothing.  FicNick should contract a raging case of scabies.  That's all I'm sayin'.

Author's Response:

I am going to answer your reviews in reverse...i apologize...

oh the power Of Pattinson... sometimes it isn't what it seems... has it become tarnished somehow now for you? i hope not...

Yes.. i am glad you got  to this late as well. and no... i think i left the masses waiting about 4 or 5 days for this one...I love to read angst... but HATE to wait for resolution when i read... so I try to be very diligent to get angst filled chapters updated as soon as possible.. i try to stay about 4 chapters ahead of the posts... although currently i am only 3 and stressing...

but i update weekly...so my dear readers don't have to wait... too long... and LOL! about wiring the car... i think i had suggested something like hiding in an undisclosed location at some point... yeah... cause there are way s for ya'll to track me down... I mean... how many lostluggages do you know of outside of an airport...

thanks on the build... i wrote this sequence of chapters in one night, wired on caffeine and listening to lots of Snow Patrol. so I was inspired. i am glad the build worked for you!

FicNick... I like that... so now I have Nick the Prick and Fic Nick... heehee... poor RL Nick... he's probably developing some unknown paranoia from all the eveil vibes we are throwing him...

thanks my dear!

MWAH!
