Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11

They can be friends...now that she is at peace with her decision it will show and she will start getting asked out.  Accept every date, make news friends, and don't always be available for Dom.  Now bring on Carla. 

 It is not their time and he is right--he shouldn't be angry and he's not ready. I enjoy this story so much!  Thank you.

I think Sasha is acting do emotional and a little because os hormones and stress.  Dimi needs to reassure her that he will always be there, apparently she is having flashbacks.

Elle is not taking Dean seriously where Randall is concerned, but she will.  She should have sent him a pic goodnight--in bed with his shirt on :-).



Author's Response:

No she's not taking him serious. But let’s hope she sees the light soon. And I definitely thought about adding that but figured they had enough one-on-one for the night lol.  As always, thanks so much for reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 1: Main & Supporting Cast

Elle is taking a chance on losing Daniel.  It is never a good bet to play with someone else's heart.  Now, if there is more to what happen between these two and it is Daniel's fault, then date on, Elle!  I look foward to your updates and can't wait to see what you have in store for this couple---and what's the deal with this new guy?

Title: Chapter 1: Main & Supporting Cast

Sorry, I meant Dean--not Daniel.  Justin just happen to be there and then that smirk and crack about her not being a heavy drinker?  Not feeling him---he pop up again unexpectedly and I will put him in the stalker category.



Author's Response:

Elle is extremely clueless with men. It's always been her weak point. Unless their like Randall, it can be hard for her to sift through the good and the bad. That's why she's been single and avoiding relationships at all costs. Justin also has a past with Elle that I'll get into next chapter. You'll also see her reasoning for treating Dean the way she does in the near future too. I'm glad you're looking forward to updates and thanks so much for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9

Wow! Well...Dean is senstive, but I can see his point: he felt used, unwanted after sharing such intense feeling and intimacy.  Some of the stuff Elle said was just too cold and she is not a mean person.  

Perhaps Elle would get it together if she saw someone else paying attention to Dean, but if it takes that to make her come clean then maybe Dean should start paying attention elsewhere.  Love your story.  



Author's Response:

Dean is only sensitive to the fact there was no closure. You’re right, Elle’s not mean, she just says stupid things sometimes. In return, those stupid things can be hurtful. Hopefully *wink*, something will make Elle stop playing around with Dean. So glad you love the story! Thanks for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 1: Main & Supporting Cast

Dean cares for this girl, but I guess now that he does need closure, but she can't give him a satisfactory answer.  My sister once told me after a relationship just ended out of nowhere that I may never get closure and needed to make my own (sis always keeps it real).

Dean makes his own closure and that's when she sees what she has lost ;-).



Author's Response:

Interesting take on closure. Dean has a lot of thinking to do. Hopefully, he makes the right choice. You’re right, sisters do always keep it real (mine is the same way). Thanks for your enlightening perspective Penelope.

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 10

uh-uh, Elle is going to have to step up and show Dean something.  There is chemistry between these two, but that is not enough to build a strong relationship.  I think they need to become friends, because they basically know nothing about one another.  

Elle needs to grow up, but she may drag out apologizing, and if she does, I hope a knock-out opens his door or he opens it as he is going out on a date, Dean accepts her apology and then continues with his date. 



Author's Response:

Yeah, their chemistry is definitely what they’re riding on. There needs to be more depth to their connection and only getting to know it each other over time will help them gain that. I hear you. Elle definitely has some major maturing to do. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen before it’s too late. As always, thanks so much for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13

Elle needs to sincerly apologize and explain her actions to him, if she can't do that then she needs to back completely off.  



Author's Response:

She does. Here’s to hoping she does that before she pushes him to far. Thanks for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 14

Proud of Elle and I savored each line of her finally apolozing to him.  It was out of left field with her putting him in the friend zone.  Poor Dean, but it's for the best, because they need to be friends before going into a real strong relationship.  Elle thinks he deserves better than her, so now the ball is in his court to change her mind.  This is so good!  



Author's Response:

I’m glad you enjoyed the apology. It was hard to write because I wanted to make sure I hit all the right points. Yeah, I think it’s for the best. It’s all about how they go about this friendship---which will be discussed in the next chapter. As always, thanks so much for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 15

A frustrated Dean seems to still care for Elle, but not as much and not enough to text back.  

Scared Elle put him in the friend zone, but wants more...if these two can't communicate, then perhaps they need to move on.

If Dean keeps having sex with Katie, he will have no one to blame but himself , bc this one already wants more.

 I love your writing and how you are drawing out their development.  



Author's Response:

Your review was basically a short sweet & synopsis of the chapter. I love how you break it down. It makes me feel special. And thanks so much, I’m thoroughly enjoying writing for appreciative readers like you. As always, thanks for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 16

We know he is going to show up with his booty call and Elle will be so hurt,but she needs to remember what her mom said, '...even if you don't get it, then you take the loss and get over it.'  At least Tracie will be there for support.  Dean can kick his own ass later on.  

Stop texting the man, she said she was sorry and meant it and he said ok to being friends---just stop texting him.  If Elle sees him with Katie (and you know K. is going to tell everybody how close they are) then I think that will help Elle to move on, hell it would me. 



Author's Response:

Thank goodness Tracie will be there! I agree, she should listen to her Mom. That’s an interesting take on the event...but not quite what I had in mind. As always, thanks for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 17

This was very good--clearded up quite a bit:

Justin (stalker) finally told to get lost in terms/threat he should understand; liking this new Elle.

Katie (just a dancer, no damsel)  Randall's been there and she knotch Tyler, too if she could.  

Dean (modest, but chivalous) was protective toward Kate with Randall, but he only owes her a kindly let down.  He is scare Elle is going to hurt him again, bc she has the power to do so.  Dean needs to ask himself if he's willing to settle for someone ha can't stand to listen to or even bother to kiss.  

Elle (emotionally growing) take the chance, bc it may not come again.  Go slow, but be straight up with Dean.  

Dean also has the power to hurt Elle, esp. if he keeps Katie hanging on (like she plans to).  He should have took her hand off his thigh and he shouldn't have ever taken her to a family function. Don't open one door without closing the other, bc Elle won't put up with another cheater, even if it's Dean.  

These two need to be clear with one another on their expectations, in other words--talk and listen.

I just love the way you are bringing these two together, the ride's bumpy, but I'm hanging on with fingers crossed for a HEA:-). HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 



Author's Response:

I’m glad it clear up some of the fog lol. When I wrote that scene with Elle and Justin, I swear I did a mental happy dance. And your thoughts on Katie are interesting… I agree, Elle is growing in the right direction with being more up front at the party (regardless of the liquid courage lol). The scene between her and Dean was definitely an indicator of that. Now how Dean goes about this relationship with Katie will make or break what he supposedly wants with Elle. Will he make it right or make it worse?  The ball is in his court. So happy you’re still down for the ride and thanks again for reading and reviewing Penelope.

Ultimate insult Dean gave Katie and I had to lol.  Good for Elle finally growing up, but for a minute I thought 'for every two steps forward she goes five steps back', but she came through.  Go slow, Elle, bc the chemistry is there for a great and lasting relationsip.



Author's Response:

I wanted him to verbally drag her in the most gentlemanly way possible lol. And you know Elle’s a work in progress. It’s a relief for a few readers to see her finally give in a little. I agree that she should take it slow. Let’s just hope Dean can be as patient as he’s been. Thanks so much for your continuous support Penelope!

These two are so cautious and sweet--good for them.  Loved the way she asked Dean to be her beau :-).

Now when Randall asks Elle out she can say oh sorry I have a boyfriend, but he won't care.  I hope her boss isn't pimping her out.  Don't meet Randall at night, in fact don't even answer the phone after hrs. 

I wish Elle had replied to Peterson when he said he believes in her, that she knows what she is capapble of and believes in herself, too.  I say Elle needs to dust that resume off.  

When Randall gets out of hand I hope Dean whips that azz. 



Author's Response:

Happy to hear you loved that scene between Elle & Dean. You and a lot of reviewers are hoping she gets that resume right and tight so she can get the hell out of dodge. YAS to the possibility of Dean whopping Randall’s azz!

I’m lowkey here for this.

Thanks for reviewng hon.

Dean was cautios and right to let Elle make all the moves, but next time be on your game and get some condoms.  I don't think Dean is going anywhere, but the dude hadn't been lax in getting some, so Elle may need to doublecheck and make sure they are exclusive. 

He cares about Elle, but is on guard about the man she is working for.  I say get that resume uptight. 



Author's Response:

Yeah, he knew to pump the breaks when he didn’t come properly prepared. And they're exclusive, Dean’s just surprisingly patient. Now Elle’s job situation will get tackled soon. Thanks so much for reviewing Penelope!

Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 25

Elle just gives TMI to Tracie--who holds her own personal business close.

 I am just not feeling these two in a long-term relationship.  Something is missing, even the texts are short and to the point.  There is no affection and no urge to see one another.  There was more chemistry when he showed up at the party with another woman.  



Author's Response:

Elle & Tracie have always been extremely open & comfortable about talking about pretty much anything together. They know & spill each other’s tea safely solely amongst each other because that’s just how strong their bond is.

Let’s also remember that they're still only two weeks into being an official couple. Not to mention, this is still foreign /rusty territory for both of them. I can only hope you’ll be more interested in how these two open up as they progress. But as always, thanks for reviewing Penelope.

Well...damn!

Be still my beating heart---Dean knocked her out and I know he is smiling.  Elle is going to go to work glowing--love the outfit. 



Author's Response:

I’ll take that “Well…damn” as the highest compliment. He definitely didn’t hold back. A glow & limp are probably destined in her future. Thanks for reviewing Penelope!

Title: Ezekiel Black

This just keeps getting better and better.  

Let's just skip 5-10 yrs to the future and see where these two love birds are, bc I've got a feeling Zeke is going to believe the scene of LaDonna with the Blair wannabe.  Zeke is going to use that setup as an excuse to have sex and change--much to nutty-slutty old man W. delight.  

Loving Mama Rosa is about to get her groove on with a good man.  



Author's Response:

Zeke is not stupid and he knows what Willoughby is up to.  He wants sex, but only with his Dee.  More is coming soon!

Title: Ezekiel Black

Old W is a snake and won't change--his meaness is too deeply ingrained and, well, it's just his nature.  

Loretta needs to take the time to work on what she consider her problem areas.  Perhaps she has always doubted herself and Old W just picked up on it.  

Wonder how much our guy is going to take from Old W before finally throwing in the towel?  Old man W will probably try to set both up, with pictures, to tear them apart and I think they are giving him the opportunity.

This is so funny!  I hope he gives old man W. many more headaches.  I can't wait for him to shout:-D.  Is it my imagination or did old man W get jealous of Frank paying attention to Rosa?  Just how old is W. anyway?



Author's Response:

I'm really enjoying writing this.  Old Ezekiel is about sixty.  He's not that old.  He needs to get a grip because Zeke is not Easy though they look just alike.  LOL  Yes more headaches are coming for Willoughby.
