Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11

I would get his azz, the teaser.  I hope she sets him straight...to hell with the intensity of chemistry between them.

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11

I think Simone should focus on her craft, while Ryu focus on why he is afraid of acknowledging his feelings for her.  He is too moody, too quiet, too judgemental, too damn sexy.

Kind of disquieting that he had forgotten about her until she showed up dressed to show out.  For her own peace of mind, Simone needs to reverse the roles and treat him coldly.

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 12

He had better get her back to her own bed and hopefully he doesn't run again.  I don't think he is going to be able to keep his hands off of her and he was already jealous and protective.  I am glad his brother can defend himself.

I love this story!

Title: Chapter 1: The Cast

If his mother's death affects him like this, then I would be leery of counting on him to have my back when another crisis arises.   Hell, life is tough and if he can't get straight for his kid, well I think it's time for him to see them preparing to move on. It has been months since this man has seen his family, by choice--I hope the kid don't even remember him.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Tough Love

If you are not going to change it, then it is what it is:  Ryan should present him with a burial plan and policy, along with separation papers and say she is moving on bc  their baby needs a real daddy.  If that doesn't make him go for help, well, like Addy said 'F it' and life for others go on. 



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading, and reviewing!! We shall see what Ryan choice will be,

Summary:

Formerly Fate and Coincidence (and by formerly I mean completely rewritten, my NaNoWriMo project)

A year abroad did nothing to help Cassandra Mitchell heal from the earth-shattering death of her on-again-off-again boyfriend. She did not think coming home to the familiarity of the Big City would do her much good either. But an encounter with Luke, be it a coincidence or destined by fate, on the flight home has her making more strides toward healing than any trip around the world ever could have. With the help of a new friend, Cassie finds herself again and perhaps something more.

Luke is a lawyer who spends too much time in the office; he's on the precipice of a big promotion. In every other way, Luke is a fairly laid-back person with a tendency to go with the flow. Running into Cassie presents an opportunity for Luke to get out of the office and experience life. However, his easy going demeanor may get him less than what he wants.

* Title subject to change

Title: Chapter 5: Bitter Cold...

What!?  This is it?  I saved your story for last, you know, as in 'saved the best for last'?

I agree with Jay, Tess shouldn't have slapped him--hard.  When they make up, he can spank her. 

Wonder what Trifling Toni has up her sleeve next?  TT is not going down w/o a fight, esp. since Jay admitted there is trouble in paradise.

I think our girl Tess is testing Jay by holding out; hope it don't come back to bite her.

On the bright side, Jay passed the test with a B+; stop telling TT anything about their private life.

Title: Chapter 1: Brown Eyes of Green...

Tess is probably in the bathroom crying like a big baby bc she couldn't handle the truth.  She's book smart, but it seems that when it come to her man, other than knowing how to sexually satisfy him, she has to call Jasmine for advice. 

Toni knowing Tess has clout may bow out, but she is also vindicative and will throw it up in Tess's face that Jay is only there bc she is partner. 

I think Jay has only stuck around to be near Tess--his dream is to be an artichtect and he is more than capable.  He should move on and let Tess be the one to sometime bring him coffee and muffins. 

My mama once told me that any man will want to be your equal or more in a relationship--that's just the way they are.

Title: Chapter 15: Apples and Assholes...

I am so glad I didn't read this at work :-).  I am so into your story that i read the reviews to warn me before I read the updates.

Tess--I am proud of you, so proud, because I could not have dealt with you for as long as Jay did.  If you and Jay get back together and have kids, I hope they have your common sense, bc husband dearest is intelligent, but oh so dumb.

Jay--Hopefully you haven't slept with immature Placeholder, yet, but she is pretty territorial toward you, so...  When you confess that you are still married and has been cheating on your wife, again, you are going to be shocked at the hatred toward Tess your new 'girlfriend' is going to spew.  Maybe you will come to your senses when you realize you have been dipping your penis and your tongue in that sewage.  Hope Placeholder's  dad has paid you in full for your work.  Did I say I was proud of Tess already?  I am proud of Tess.

Jas and Tucker-- came through.  Hope Jas didn't kill Toni, though.

Eric--fingers crossed that his new woman is really a man or had five kids hidden. Eric is selfish and will always be selfish. 

I think Jay did learn something from therapy, but Tucker still had to break it down to him.  Jay is still indecisive, but I hope he don't stutter when he deals with Jamie.  This man is having sex with someone already and claiming her around town as his girlfriend...that's pretty trashy. 

I think I would have respected Jay more if he had had some random hookups to take the edge off.  But the majority of men don't fare well when left alone for long periods: little head takes over.  I don't even wanna guess what your next update will be about, but you have been doing a fantastic job!

Title: Chapter 3: Arsonist...

Tess needs to pull herself together--mom can help her see whatToni is up to.  Perhaps they can teach Trifling Toni(TT) and Jay a lesson.  Hard to communicate when a partner holds back--imo, Jay allowed TT to get this foothold into their business.

Title: Chapter 6: Bow down...

WOW!  Loved that last butt kick Tess gave her.  The couple needs to talk and then decide if they need counseling.  Tess may want to take some anger management classes, but Toni brought this whupping.

Jay shouldn't feel bad about the erection--it was natural and Tess should have been on the job.  Toni will be back--why look at Jay?  I think in her own mind, she thinks Jay wants her and I have to kinda question that, too. 

He should have been the man in this situation and let Toni go, no matter what Tess said.  Right now, Jay needs to slap that man card down, before Tess hit him again.

Title: Chapter 17: A Table For Two and Only Two...

Thank you for keeping the story going and thanks for giving this couple a break.  If they stay strong, communicate, and have one another's back it will be near impossible to break them up.  Can't wait to see what you have in store for us.

Title: Chapter 17: A Table For Two and Only Two...

I was almost scared to take the chance and read before looking at the reviews, but I took a chance.  Jay had better keep up the momentum.  You are good; you take the best from the reviews and make it work. 

Jay still got some work to do and it will take time but this couple can make their relationship work.  This isn't the end is it?  If it is, can we get an epilogue?



Author's Response:

No this is not the end actually there is another roller coaster turn to come, but it has nothing to do with their relationship

 

Reviewer: Penelope Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 1: Brown Eyes of Green...

You know your story is good when you have us all in here writing emotional reviews. 

Did Eric set Jay up with Toni, because she did say she had a hotel room already that was out of the way, but then Jay just happen to run into Eric and Malik? 

Eric and Toni are just alike, remember the pic he took of them in the elevator?  Why was he there anyway? 

Eric just seems like, if I can't have my 'pet Tess', then no one can and he sure don't give a damn about her happiness.  Right now Trouble Tess and Jumpy Jay are playing into the Evil Eric and Trifling Toni's hands.

Title: Chapter 11: A Series of Bad Choices...

Toni wants Jay for the sex and to get back at Tess for that beat down.  Jay said his connection to Tess is waning, so maybe the couple should go their separate ways.  I think they can workit out if he confesses and tell all of what happen bc if Toni/Eric/Jas/Maliki get a chance they sure will. 

Jay should come right out and ask Tess if she wants a divorce and if she says I don't know or no, he needs to start back to couple's therapy with her.  They both need to sincerely apologize to one another. 

f they go their separate ways, they should not get back together bc they will still have the same unresolved problems: poor communication and SECRETS.  Fingers crossed that you will help them work it out :-).

Title: Chapter 11: A Series of Bad Choices...

my, my, my, well, Jay could take a page from Tess's book and keep quiet, but he will come clean and let the chips fall... Tess was keeping a lot of important info from her husband.  She is feeling unworthy and that is why she is avoiding him. 

I can really understand Jay actions with skank Toni, but too bad he didn't slam Eric with the abortion update that possibly left Tess infertile.  She needs to go to a fertility doc and see what's up--she was wrong not to tell Jay, but I bet she thought he would leave her. 

What I don't understand is that Eric had her abort the baby, but she still ran back to him.  Hell, maybe Tess should be with Eric, but if she can't give him a Jr. down the road...

I am still on the couple's team, but I am leaning toward legal separation with divorce around the corner if Jay don't come clean with a quickness.  Tess needs to take Jay actions as a wake up call to get her sh*t together.

Reviewer: Penelope Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 1: Brown Eyes of Green...

Glad I got my rant out and I feel a bit better.  Now it would be great if Eric called Tess and that ringtone is the same one she got at the hotel with the video or if Jay sees Toni and goes off on her sending the video and pushing Tess to the edge.  I would love for Toni to confess everything, but she's a hard slut...i mean nut to crack.  

This couple still needs time apart to decide if they want to continue.  I agree with another reviewer:  keep everybody out of your damn business and talk to one another. 

Tess needs to stop being so mean and angry--I think Jay is afraid of her.  If he don't stand up now, he will forever wear the panties in the relationship.

Title: Chapter 13: Calm After the Storm...

Good--things can only go up for Tess now, bc it seems as though she only cares about her job, and maybe Eric.  Jay needs to stop begging, crying, and apologizing.   

This chick is too much drama and I am not feeling her love for Jay at this point. She even wakes up pissed off.

Eric didn't tell anyone she was in the hospital for a week, even though she flatlined? Apparently, he called Malik, after several days had past--why not her mom or Jas or even Jay? 

I am tired of Jay letting everyone dog him...come on man and put your big boy's pants on and call a lawyer.

Title: Chapter 1: Brown Eyes of Green...

This marriage is sinking fast.  Tess got her promotion and it turned out to be like a big ole hunk of cake that you realize you don't really want it. 

Well, she is drinking a lot and she's not dumb enough to be pregnant and drinking.  Whatever happen in the past must be bad  and Tess should muster up the courage and tell Jay that she had a baby, she worked the pole, she accidentally killed someone, etc, because it is eating her up inside. 

Eric has forgotten that beat down Jay gave him.  The only way to stop this clown is to make him look like a clown publicly.  He is just too spiteful to be a man.

Title: Chapter 16: Fantasies and Process Servers...

OK--I had to go for a walk and think about this story:  I have seen other couples go through worst than these two characters, and come back stronger and still together.

Jay's future with Tess will depend on what happens at her condo.  Jay please don't cry or beg--just be hones, for once and take a chance and bare your heart.

Sad that this couple was so happy, but never actually strong.  Until they come clean, and I mean both of them need to really talk and LISTEN, they are spinning their wheels and wasting everybody's time.  

Jay is strong (he would kill for Tess), but not so smartTess has a hard outer shell, but soft on the inside and very vulnerable; she made the right move in obtaining the separation, going through intense therapy, and serving papers on Jay.  

I would like to think that Jay does the right thing, bc he knew when Jamie didn't scald his azz after he confessed, she would never be the 'one' for him.  I understand him pretending it was Tess he was making love to, but Jaime had to recognize she was basically a stand in and a booty call--great sex and then I got a lot of sites to visit. 

Reviewer: Penelope Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: January 12 2014

Title: Chapter 16: Fantasies and Process Servers...

Tess is moving on and I don't blame her, but she will always love Jay bc we all have that 'one' and he was hers'.  Tess can still be happy-happy, but she just won't be HAPPY-HAPPY.

Now Jay will finally have to sh*t or get off the pot, hopefully it is not too late (should've took Tucker's advice).  But Jay wil probably ask Jamie to move in or marry him--like I wrote before: intelligent, but dumb. 

Good touch with his senstive soul crying on the toilet, but he should've known Tess wouldn't hang in limbo forever.   I think I would have done what Tess did, esp after the girl came to my job and his dumbass sent her.  Yeah, let J&J continue and see where there 'relationship' takes them.  When Tess meets someone else she needs to keep everybody out of her business.

Title: Chapter 12: And Everything Went Dark....

Guess Eric is the hero right now, but he don't really want Tess--he just didn't want to lose.  I don't think Eric thought that Tess was try to kill herself.  Why didn't she call Jas or even Malik?

Can't get over Jas doing what she did.  She shouldn't have waited a week to contact Tess and then to blab their business to Tess's mom--she sure didn't tell all the stuff Tess had did. 

Jay should have moved out to give Tess space, but been inher face everyday begging forgiveness.  Now when Tess finds out her 'friend' Eric helped caused the downfall of her marriage will she knee him in the balls?  As for Toni, well Toni was Toni.  Tess needs to heal away from everybody, and I mean everybody and Jay needs to get a catch a break and find out what is really going on.

Something about him was off from the moment we met. Something in my mind told me this was wrong. That he was dangerous. That we weren't meant to be. But he made me feel like I was a part of something. Like it was us against the world.
