Title: Chapter 1 - Cougars

Great chapter...glad they got to spend quality time together and sort of their true feeling.  Hopefully Nat will move in with Anthony because it looks like the  drama is about to hit the fan.



Author's Response:

Yes, it is.  Thanks VeMo!

Title: Chapter 28 - Four's a Tough Crowd

Yes, you go girl. For a moment I was disappointed in Nat and the way she did not respond when Thomas had the nerve to go all self-righteous on her in the restaurant.  I don't know who he was raising his voice at.  I love Rich even more because this just shows that Rich has his back and has always had his back even as children.  I don't know how Thomas even believes Sr is even worthy of Anthony's time or consideration.  He showed him for years what he has thought of him and this is a great way for Anthony to actually give his father the big finger b/c here I am loving your ex-wife waayyy better then you ever did or could.  I have the best thing that has ever happened to you.  Nat better bring them balls when his "well-meaning" momma and other family members come into their business.

Also Nat, let the house go.  It holds too many memories that are unpleasant.  You both need a new start in a new place.   Somewhere you both are comfortable with living and they do need to have the talk about her fertility because Anthony needs to be damn sure about being with her and what that entails.  They also need to discuss alternatives such as adoption, surrogacy, using her eggs and his sperm or whatever if they plan on this being long term

As always a great chapter.  I think I might really bawl when you do complete this story, so a part of me wants you to continue it until they are old and gray.



Author's Response:

Lol.  You never know.  There may be an "Ant and Nat:  The Later Years"...if they can make it over these hurdles her reproductive issues and his family will throw at them.  Thomas was a bit of soft pitch.  The others will come much harder, or at least try to.  A die-hard friend like Rich is a rarity in that family.

And you're right, the baby talk needs to happen.  And it will.  Soon.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Lajack!

Title: Chapter 27 - Happy New Year?

So happy they are together again. I just hope Sabrina doesn't go all Fatal Attraction on them, but I have a feeling she's going to use Anthony's family to get him to talk to her. She is turning out to be psycho. I really hope Anthony puts his family in their place otherwise he doesn't deserve her. Great chapter. 



Author's Response:

As suspected, you haven't seen the last of Sabrina.  How crazy she does and doesn't get and whether Anthony is ready to take on his meddlesome family remains to be seen.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Happy2bNappy!

Title: Chapter 27 - Happy New Year?

I truly enjoyed this chapter. In order for them to move forward they really do need to let go of the past. And hopefully with them moving in together they can start somewhat fresh and fight what they know is headed their way together. Richard, Anthony's family, and his ex all need to take a seat because they don't understand anything about love just control, and what looks good on paper. Natalia and Anthony feel at home with each other and I can't wait to see them expand upon that because they both deserve happinesseven if that means they have to fight for every bite they get.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

P.S. I gues Anthony really doesn't need my shoulder or bosom any more :( I would say Rich could use it but I woulld be afraid to catch something from him. LOL



Author's Response:

Lol!  You can still lend Rich your shoulder and your bosom.  You just might wanna scotchguard 'em first.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, JovanBleu!

Title: Chapter 26 - Impatience is a Virtue

PLOT TWIST: Rich that fraudulent womanizing drunkard of a MF'er pretending to be sloshed to get Anthony and Natalia back together, freaking genius!!! 

Reading the end of this chapter was like finally taking a breath after being submerged in water for far too long. Natalia didn't run from sharing her feelings when asked point blank if Anthony has her. Yasssss. And kudos to Anthony for finally explaining the distinction with not wanting to introduce Natalia to his family. That it had little to do with the scandalous way they came together and everything to do with protecting her from them. 

Does any part of me feel bad for Sabrina? Nope. The heart is gonna want what it wants and trying to infiltrate when things have been written in plain English, hopefully she'll get the message soon. But I do like the fact you didn't write Sabrina to be a catty bitchy girlfriend (outside of being that way with Rich Jr  but knowing how he is, its much deserved). 

I still don't think it'll be smooth sailing for Anthony/Natalia because of Sabrina's clinginess, Rich Sr circling, but here's to hoping neither one of them will have to deal with Barbara. Still, not gonna hold my breath on that. Loved this chapter. 



Author's Response:

In writing Sabrina and Jamison, I didn't want them to appear the archetypical jealous ex or "others."  They do do foolish, selfish things for love, just as we all do.  But they're not bad people, at least not at this point.  But you know that's always subject to change.

Just as you have predicted, Natalia and Anthony will not have an easy go of it.  They both took big steps in being honest about their feelings and past motivations, but there's a lot left to be discussed.  And you can rest assured Sabrina, Richard, and his family will continue to make themselves a topic of conversation.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Lapis Love!  So glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Title: Chapter 26 - Impatience is a Virtue

I love Rich, I do, but he need that ass beat. He is one funny sly mofo. That's what I call brotherly love. I can not believe he did all of that for Ant.

So, I forgive both Nat and Ant. Let's see what Fucker, Sr says about this. I'm afraid to get too happy about these turn of events. However, with Rich on the case, things might just work out. Can you imagine them having a little Rich? That would be hilar.

I hope there is love in Rich's future. He does sound like he's one drink away from a heart attack. He needs someone. *raises hand enthusiastically. pick me, pick me!*

You had some really golden nuggets in this chapter. I died.



Author's Response:

Rich is generally a reprobate, but there's nothing he wouldn't do for his baby brother.  And seeing Ant and Nat raise a miniature version of him would most definitely be gut-busting.

Lol @ you volunteering to take on the challenge that is Rich.  Right now, he's far too in love with the bottle and fornicating with random women to settle down, but you never know when that might change.

You can breath easy for a minute.  The next chapter is relatively angst-free.  But don't get too comfortable with the calm.  ; )  It never lasts.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, BellaChica!

Title: Chapter 26 - Impatience is a Virtue

Hands  in the air for these two finally getting it together thanks to Rich.  He's the man.  Thank goodness, I can remove him from the dungeon I put Barbara in.   This is how a relationship works when you want it to grow.  They talked about the things that needed to be discussed.  There are  other issues that need to be addressed, but their together so they have time to sort things out.  Now comes the outside drama with the families, Richard and Sabrina.  Hopefully, the mistakes of the past won't be repeated.  Natalia's biological clock is ticking.They need to get started on a family if they are truly committed to the relationship.     I love this  chapter.  Love is always nice to read about..



Author's Response:

You are absolutely right.  There are some major issues left to be discussed, things that will take time to sort out.  That is if the opposition gives them a chance to. 

So glad you enjoyed this chapter.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, VeMo!

Title: Chapter 25 - While the Cat's Away...

You know, I had a feeling Rich would show up at her house at some point. Not expecting him to fall face forward when he did but ah, well, what can you do?

The angst between Ant and Natalia is killing me, but its so real and heart wrenching. Both of them are silently suffering without the other, but I must commend Natalia for slowly but surely putting her life back together and not just going through the motions especially where Richard is concerned. Yeah, he laid it on real thick last chapter, but tigers don't change their stripes, not to say he's incapable of change, but so far all he's offered Natalia is words. And why would anyone want to return to someone who constantly disrespected and disregarded them?

And I find it cute that Anthony went through all those lengths just to peep Natalia. Now it would appear he's going through what Natalia just came out of with Jamison, only he's not holding his surliness at bay when it comes to Sabrina, but again, he's going through the motions. Loved the update! 



Author's Response:

I thought the whole pharmacy set-up had a boyish charm to it as well.  But with all their mistakes and insecurities, it was gonna take a lot more than that.  I still adore Anthony in all his surliness.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Lapis Love!  So glad you enjoyed the update.

Title: Chapter 22 - Lamb of Sacrifice

Ooh, I have so much I need to catch up on with this story and The Boss's Daughter, but *praise Jesus* Natalia FINALLY ended things with Jamison. Its never easy walking away from a relationship whether you love the person or not, but the two of them were never on the same page, emotionally and mentally but probably more so mentally. Jamison had been sold a line by Barbara who thinks she knows everything, and Natalia in a conscious and unconscious effort tried to live up to his idea of who she was, but it wasn't the truth. And with his reluctance to have a real, deep conversation about their relationship kind of reeks of insecurity. But I get it, his divorce screwed him up. It happens.

The party scene was thick with tension, it was palpable and the whole time I was wanting Natalia to make a run for it, as if I were in her shoes, especially after it became evident Anthony was there with a date. But the revelation that this whole time Anthony has lived just down the block from her...mind blown. I still don't count her congratulations as closure since they didn't talk, Sabrina and Nat basically dominated the conversation with Ant as a bystander and Rich as a spectator. And what Ant must be thinking. I'd be incensed as well if my ex completely disregarded our relationship by omitting it totally from conversation, on top of said ex being engaged. So I'm excited to see how things further progress. 

Off to read the next. 



Author's Response:

Poor Jamison.  Barbara set both him and Natalia up for failure.  Like you said, his divorce really messed him up. 

Ant was pissed about Nat relegating him to the ranks of his father's son and showing up at his party wearing another man's ring, and that anger won't be going away anytime soon.

JJ I'm really enjoying the emotional complexity in your story.  I'm enjoying the journey of Anthony & Talia working through their fear, their pride, and all the things we as humans throw  up in order to protect ourselves.  I of course am hoping that Anthony and Talia are endgame.  But whatever it is I'm pretty much addicted to your stories, so...  Thanks for frequent updates too.

Go Rich!!! Finally Anthony got his ish together but I won't believe it 100 percent unless he 1) gets rid of Sabrina once and for all in no uncertain terms and 2) tell his judgmental family to kick rocks unless they learn to respect his woman. Natalia on the other hand has got to stop eing so darn wishy washy. She needs to proudly proclaim him as her man and get those restraining orders to keep Richard and Barbara away. I loved this chapter so much. Yay! More please. 



Author's Response:

I agree that both one and two need to take place, but may prove much easier said than done.  Anthony's family has gotten a taste of Sabrina and now they want more.  

Nat, more than likely, will never get those restraing orders.  She's just not that hardcore with it comes to people she loves or used to, not matter how much she wants to be.  Then again, she might not have to worry about either of them popping up.  More on that next chapter.
