Again?! Really now Henry?

He gotta a pass last time, Valerie better not make it so easy for him this time. If I didn't dig them together as much as I do, I say she needs to kick him to the curb. He better have a damn good explanation.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

I had to crack my fingers for this one. I don’t know where to begin, your story is life changing. As much as I love watching your story snowball into this epic yet “simple” love story you leave me floored at every turn. When I see that you have updated my heart literally flutters and drops all at the same time. I never know what tear drop size turn you have made that will ripple the ocean of characters you have. The people you have built are so real to me, so authentic to the point that I remember her tears in my life. I have cried those same tears and felt that same anguish. Valerie is my Heroine and she will win all the battles I lost. Battles I lost because I didn’t fight hard enough or was too scared of loosing to know when it was okay to let go. You are an amazing story teller and I am in awe of your efforts. I want to be the writer you are, how you take your readers on adventures out of their own lives even if its but for a short amount of time and I always strive to do that.


 


On to the story, I have been eager to review for the last three chapters first but I wanted to get the full picture first. Valerie is so brave but I wish she would share more of her struggles and be honest OUT LOUD about what really happened between her and George. I feel like we keep getting these bits and pieces of a horrible person but some of his “good” qualities that can be seen in Henry also. I don’t think that Valerie is a sad person, she has been beat down her entire life she doesn’t know how to win. It worries me how Henry can tell her anything can tell her anything but I love you and then leaves her high and dry when he KNOWS she has been hurt before. These two have to grow to be who they need to be for each other or they wont make it at all as a couple. That growth is going to come with pain and tears before we get to the rainbows and smiles. Valerie needs this so she can learn she is all she’s needs to make it.


 


Trust and believe your work is worth far more than publication and I would buy it. I know on your tumblr you post pictures of the characters, is there a way we can see that Ella, Peter or even that scumbag George looks like. When you update I am inspired to keep writing, thank you. BTW when do you think we will know the full story about Val and George, for some strange reason I feel like he may have died. I don’t know why I would think that, not that you eluded to that or anything lol. If not will he ever appear in the story? You probably had no intentions of doing this but can you tell Henry’s side of things at least for a brief moment in time. I just want to get inside his head to see what he’s thinking. One girl on fanfiction.net wrote a story in pov that was so HAUTE she had to write another in the other character’s pov. I don’t know if you want to do that but it’s just an idea. Happy Hunting!

Damn, so he's scared. Way to express your fear of vulnerabilty again. Valerie can't let him back in so easily again.

I'm glad to see this back.  These two characters are so interesting.  I saw Henry's pulling away coming but was still disappointed with him.  I hope to see Valerie continue to work on herself and make progress

Thanks for the update

Okay, last post, I promise, I think..., lol! That's why Henry wanted Val to keep Apples, he knew what he was going to do, he knew he was going to end things the moment they probably got thru doing it, lol, but dropping her off and actually verbalizing she take Apples, so she could have a piece of him and he keep Peaches so he could have a piece of her confirmed it. I hope he knew what he was doing (he doesn't) because Peaches may be all he will ever have that reminds him of Val and not from his lack of trying to get back with her either, once the mood strikes. I think Val may be threw and not because Henry is a horrible person, but because he just isn't the relationship type.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

OMG, I feel for her it is so hard to care for someone like that. The worst part is because you care you let them in again after they ignore you. The best thing to do is to move on and don't accept his future calls and contact because he will contact her again.  I know this is just a story but parts like what he just did is so real and close to home. Maybe in the story there will be a happy ending however,  sadly in real life more times than not there is not. I can't wait to see what you will do. I personally hope she moves on with someone else. She already has a lot of emotional issues,  I think he might long term break her with the hot and cold treatment.  excellent update.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

You converted me in this chapter.. There are moments when I want to throttle Valerie and Henry.  but the vulnerabilty that flows between them is beautiful. I'm not even sure if they are right for each other but they fit for right now. Henry's love for his family is sweet and only endears him further to me but this thing will falling off the planet after mind blowing orgasms.mhmm let me really think about this why is Valerie mad again. Every time he pops up she pops off but I digress. I absolutely loved the emotion in this chapter and I was pleasantly surprised when Valerie found her voice for Henry's sister and  didn't succumb to  her unhealthy habits. She is growing into herself. Loved it.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

I knew something like this would happen, lol! Val is scared and so is Henry. Now, that does not make what Henry did right. Ignoring her, really? But hey, he's still on 'it's too soon' to love Valerie because boyfriend almost slipped and said it. I can understand his fear of that too. He has a pretty good feeling that Val as been hurt, even though Val tried to play dumb. So what makes him think him ignoring her is going to open her up? Well, I hope he plans on staying away forever because I don't think he is going to get back in as quick as he did last time and last time I think Val gave in too easy. He would not take no for an answer when she tried to leave. He knew he messed up and he tried to act all nonchalant about it and say she was the one upset, which she had reason to be.

Henry plays games. I still like Henry, but he plays games, he is insecure, and scared of to love Val.  I understand where he is coming from, although he is very well off, he has been through alot and Val is like a healing balm for him and he does not know how to treat her or deal with her. He's suspicious as he put it. Val does not play games, but she has her issues too, although hers aren't as bad as Henry's, well they could be, but Val tries to work on her issues. I was so proud of her for not throwing up her food. Val tries.

I hope with Henry doing this, it does not set her back. She is strong and she will be fine without Henry. She is hurt now. That is to be expected. She really liked Henry. Hell, she may even love him too. But it can be hard loving someone who is hot and then cold when things get too intense or you never know where they are coming from. This is what Henry does, #od love him. He'll let go and bare his soul then retreat because he can't handle the emotions. It's childish, but it's how he deals and I can almost bet he has been with other women trying to forget Val during their time apart, then maybe not, they are not exclusive I know, but at this point it does not matter. As much as I love Henry he messed up. I hope Val moves on and I do not mean to someone else, that's not healthy, especially what she is feeling for Henry, at least not yet. She has to be happy with and for herself and I believe she can be.

Val and Henry are bound to run into each other and when they do, I hope Val is not upset/angry/mad with Henry. She does not have to go out of her way to talk to him, but if they are in a position where pleasantries are appropriate to be made, she says hi, asks how he's been, make little chatter, and move on and says all of this without smoke coming out of her ears or hurt lingering in her eyes. Because if I know Henry he will be with someone else anyway, lol. This may be hard for Val considering her character and how embarrassed and frustrated she gets, but she can do it. I don't care this will floor Henry, because I think he expects Val to lose her stuff when he's around especially how she lost it the last time he went MIA. She was PISSED and I cannot blame her and Henry knows how to deal with a pissed, hurt, and frustrated Valerie. He knows all the right words to say and make the day end with Val screaming his name, lol. He is good, but does he know how to deal with a calm, cool, and collected Val, almost uncaring. Not in a mean way, but when you know how a person is, you can't keep setting yourself up for hurt especially if you've been down this road before. Which Val has.

Some may say Val should have told Henry that she was hurt and maybe he would not have ignored her. Maybe, maybe not. But that is very doubtful. Gosh Val, you can do this. Please don't make Val bitter. If Henry wants Val he needs to show some sign this time around and Val should not give in. Not because she is playing games or hard to get, but because she needs to know he his serious. Until that happens, Val should treat him and an associate, a friend of a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. Sorry for the length, I could not help it. Awesome update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Maybe it is just me but Call and Henry are both some what damaged goids they both are afraid if commitment fir different reasons. Henry doesnt want to be hus father its why he tries so hard not to get close to anything or anyone. Val has yet to ooen up about her past and her insecuruties. And until she dies Henry will always be out of reach to her.Henry disappearing for weeks at a time...hmm I think Val should give him the benefit of the doubt instead of lumping him un with that douche George. I mean there dB can be several differsnt reason as to why her calls and text have gone unanswered even though she has seen what he has been up to inline. The benefit of the doubt is what seems to come to mind for me. And maybe its me but Henry opened up is a big deal, but Val is still closed off to him, so maybe he thinks she doesnt feel the same way that he does. He seems to be trying tio tell her something without saying the words or scaring hed off because hs saud, "Someone hurt you..." And instead of Val being honest she makes it about the sexual position. So instead of me feeling bad for Val, or me saying Henry what the F***, I going to say Val you cant expect Henry to know where you two stand if you are afraid to show him who you are. And Henry you cant be afraid shut down out of fearm its why your parents didnt work and  instead of trying your hardest not to be like them, you have to stop running. You want Val but you are afraid if those feelings well so is she. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Wow! I have to say this story floors me. I went back to read the prologue again. Based on this chapter and I believe 12, I get her thoughts. Val made a leap of faith, let her guard down and now we see she isnt the guarded one. She is so brave, possesses such strength it only comes out when you pay attention. Kudos to you! When a reader returns to read previous chapters and uncovers tidbits of foreshadowing... that is the hallmark of a wonderful writer.

Henry. He is messed up, most artists are. He and Ben are very similar, however Henry is so guarded. He is easy to fall for but difficult to maintain. He is a vvagabond,  a drifter and a dreamer. A male torn between a man and a child. He is his father. I believe Henry is afraid of commitments because of hisbfather. He believes the he cant love a woman and his music. He chooses whats safe. He is in love with Val, has been from the moment he saw her. She was different, unique, and removed from  .  His world. Yet he is insecure. He isnt bothered by her insecurities because he is a modelizer. He is so messed up my heart breaks for him.

 

Valerie is a wonderful character. She is real. I have said this before, your storytelling is above par for this site and the genre. You are truly talented. Thank you for sharing. Happy writing and be blessed!

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

Soooo....when I saw there was an update I was all *fist pump*...

 

When I read Henry open up to Valerie about his dad and his own insecurities, I shed a tear because I was like...they are letting their guard down around each other and falling in love...

 

When I read the sex scenes, I went and got a cold glass of iced tea and my portable fan...

 

When I read how he gave her the kitten named for him, I was back to my hopeless romantic phase feeling all warm and fuzzy inside at how he wanted her to have something that reminded her of him always...

 

But when I read those last few sentences about how he ignored her AGAIN for a whole damn month after what they shared after he damn near SWORE not to hurt her all I could scream at my laptop is...

 

REALLY HENRY?!?!?!?!?!?!?  WHAT IN THE MOTHER FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seriously....what in the mother fuck?  I mean damn this story is an emotional roller coaster and I LOVE it!!

 

But I'm gonna need Valerie to puree his cajones whenever he decides to show his fine British ass up because this is some pure and utter BS.  I get him being scared of commitment, but you just do NOT do this to someone you say you care about!  Especially right after you JUST got back in her good graces immediately following the last time you pulled these shenanigans.  The "British D" may be good and all, but right now he is acting like a certifiable, downright, stank ass "D" and I am here for Val giving him her ass to kiss.  Ok maybe not literally, because we know how "THAT" would go... but seriously??

 

WHAT IN THE MOTHER FUCK HENRY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Waiting for the next update...keep doing your thing girl!

oh no , he didn't!  OK, it's time for her to focus on herself, take care of the kitten, and be grateful he was into condoms. 

I can understand his fear of comittment, but why ignore her calls and texts.  No ma'am you are not his hirlfriend and he was just a good time of sexy memories. 

Girl, do you and be open to meeting other guys.  I don't care if Henry was not with any other women--he ignored her and that was just plain wrong.  Now I have to try and go to sleep upset.

Title: Chapter 18 pt 3

First off, I have to say you write some of the best love/sex scenes I have ever read.  Kudos to you because that is such a talent.  The scenes do not detract from the story or wonder why the hell is this here.

Now on to Henry and Val.  Please let Val stay strong and take those feelings and thoughts she had throughout this day to forge ahead in her own life.  

Henry, what the hell happened.  You almost slipped and said the I LOVE YOU phrase a couple of times to disappear like invisible ink the moment the day is up.  Seriously you couldn't text back a Hello, is it me your looking for( in a Lionel Richie voice).  

When he returns, she needs to let him sweat it out.  I understand he has issues but you dragged her into them versus letting her be at the club and going your separate ways.  Can't get a sister all hot and bothered on multiple occasions.  HE knew SHE had emotional baggage from the get go.  

I am dying for your next updates and see what he has to say for himself.  He wasn't seen with any female during those 4 weeks, was he.  Specifically someone Pat tried to hook him up with recently.  

FYI, you know I read this last chapter like 3 times. Time for some cold water, I'm feeling a little parched.
