Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - First Date Redux
You restricted your story and it has taken me a minute to gain access. I didn't remember my password or the email address I used. I hope I didn't offend you because I wasn't criticiizing your writing. I know there are plenty of people who can wait that long or longer. I did with every guy I ever dated. I know people who were virgins when they married. I was reacting to the characters because that what good writers cause people to do. Fuss at and get frustrated over make believe people and situations. You being one of my favorite writers have me reading your stories on my second laptop, because my other one didn't fair well through some of your impossible romances. This story is typical you. So many twist and turns until yes. I'll admit I have said. " Arrrgh, damnit JJ what hell are you doing." Yes, I scream at my screen when everything is going terribly wrong. Like when Brandon went to pee and Diya was left to fight off the pervert and Brandon didn't show up. Then you instantly switch to that satisfying moment where Brandon addressed the issue he has with Diya, in his mind, always trying to pacify him by downplaying how she feels about certain situations. I've been riding your rollercoasters for awhile. So much so that I know better than to try to guess who sitting at his doorstep. Instead I'm going to prepare myself for the drama that's about to unfold. You know if they don't wait out these last two days before they consummate their relationship, Diya will blame every obstacle they encounter on the fact that they didn't wait. One question-- does he have any tattoos of rainbows and ribbons?
Author's Response: Sorry you had trouble accessing the story. And you didn't offend me at all. Waiting any length of time to sex a significant other is an antiquated, completely unrealistic idea for some. I responded the way I did simply to say it may not be in keeping with their habits or the new century norm, but it does happen--something it seems we both agree on.
You are so right about Diya blaming whatever will befall them on her decision not to wait if they had, in fact, consummated the relationship. Unfortunately, she's got two more days to make that mistake.
LOL!!! I do sincerely apologize for the property and peace of mind I've cost you. Hopefully you're heavily insured, because things will get infinitely worse (or better, depending on whether or not you're an angst fan) *insert villainous cackling*
Thanks for the uber-awesome review, VeMo, and for being uber-awesome you : )
