Summary:

Edward Cullen is a cocky bastard.  He believes that because of his family's wealth, his devilish good looks, and his ridiculous book smarts that should make him God's gift to women.  Between his repetitive schedule, his 3-piece suits, and an over-confident attitude, Bella Swan seeks the chance with great and wicked delight to put him in his place and enjoys every minute of it.

Style:  ExB - M-Rating - Drama/Angst

Teaser:  

I browsed the different sections for a while before making my final selections. I always took my time, carefully reading over each selection and deciding if I should waste my time on this type of literature. Their politics section was definitely lacking and I would be sure to bring this up to the clerk.


“Hey there, Becca,” I greeted the pretty clerk as I walked up to the checkout counter. I put the books I intended to purchase on the counter.


Today I would get her to talk to me. I would get her to notice me and pay attention. I mean, why the hell wouldn’t she right? I mean, c'mon, I am a catch!


I had always admired her from afar but she wouldn’t ever budge. What was her deal? I wasn’t going to bite. Although, the idea was appetizing, that wasn’t my sort of thing.


“Bella.”
“Hmm?” What did she say?
“Bel-la,” she repeated herself but slower as she tapped her fingertips against her silver-plated nametag. “My name is Bella.”
“Oh,” Crap, “Sorry. I thought it was—"
“It’s fine.” She sighed, taking the books from the counter and reviewing them before entering a few codes into the computer screen. “So, did you find everything you were looking for?”

• Teaser:

She thought she was going to lose her breath.  Suddenly, she felt slightly light-headed; her heart was beating out of control.  Whenever his green eyes into her brown ones, she felt as if he was pouring into her soul.  His eyes were clearly trying to tell her something, she just needed to figure what that was.  She didn't really know and she was okay with that.  He reached up and rubbed the back of his knuckles against her cheek.  Her face was involuntarily moving towards his hand, letting him almost up it, the warmth of his hand heating up the coolness of her cheek.

It was in the moment, they both could not deny that something was changing between them.  They both had never been this close to anyone else before.  It was an unspoken agreement that they were going into uncharted territory with one another.

What's Going On? Ashamed, Humbled and... and Writing!

All right... well here goes nothing... & everything...

When I was younger, I had a teacher who from time to time used to lose control of his class and he would just shout out the phrase "pink elephants!"  This would silence our class and we would all start laughing, wondering what was going on in that head of our crazy teacher.  Little did we know, he just wanted us to shut the hell up.  Of course, for the remainder of the class he would say things like "don't think about those pink elephants!  Don't do it!  You're thinking it and you should really stop while you're ahead!"  Well, what else can you do with statements and questions like that but laugh, right?  Of course.

Uh oh.. the pink elephants are here and they're dancing and looking rather silly, don't you think?  LOL

So, I'm having a 'pink elephant' moment if you'll be so kind as to hear me out, while it may be embarrassing, it needs to be said!

I'm going to just come out and say it... I'm completely ashamed.  When I took an unannounced (not undiscovered) absence from writing my story(ies), I never thought I would be sitting here nearly a year later trying to figure out what to say to you guys.

I. Will. Be. Good.  .. Sort of!  >;-P

I'm really sorry its taken this long, that's all I can say really.  Those who know me well know that I've been going through a lot of stuff in my real life mostly health-related issues and while those are on the up nowadays, I still can't help but feel stupid on how I left my updates.  I left you hanging, I'll be the first to admit that, but I assure you I'm not going anywhere, I'm still here and in fact, I was never gone-- you can check my Twitter & my Facebook.  In fact, those of you who were kind enough to contact me regarding Interviews & Evaluations and my other stories, received a reply.  Thank you for those messages, it was those that encouraged me and warmed my heart.  Some of them actually brought me to tears that there are actually people out there who care about my silly little story and want to know if I'm going to continue it or not.  It's an overwhelming feeling, but one that I don't mind and truly appreciate!

I do have some exciting news though, depending on how you look it of course!  One of the reasons that I'm delayed in posting is that I signed up for two collaborations with fellow Twi-fanfic author Heartfelt-Pen for not one but two charitable fanfic events.  Cool, huh?  I'm very excited and very much looking forward to sharing these new one-shots (that could possibly turn into multi-chapter stories per your request!) and being able to help out for these unfortunate causes.

So, now I would like to formally introduce the events and the stories:

Fandom for Texas Wildfires

For this event, we collaborated together and wrote a story called The Pursuit.

Auctions for Schelmy - Fan Fiction Edition

For this event, we collaborated together and wrote Kindling the Sparks.

Also, after these charitable fan fics are issued, I will be finally posting my one-shots that I had written for the Fandom Gives Back: Autism Speaks, Fandoms Fight The Floods, Fandom for Tsumani and Foxy Fics!  See!!!  I have been busy!  So that's FOUR one-shots (side note:  one is actually a future-take for Interviews & Evaluations!  Have you read it yet?  If not, you will soon!)-- so really, three one-shots & a future-take!  How lucky are you!  Very! :-P


So, again I say thank you for the support, please be patient with me as I get back in the swing of things!  I'm here to stay.. unless someone pisses me off [no, no... I'm kidding!  You're totally stuck with me, guys!].  But, hey, that's a totally different story! :P LOL


Oh and, umm... please don't think about the pink elephants! ;)

Special Birthday Wishes to @PurpleBrina17! :O)

This Picture Says It All...

Let's admire The Pretty, shall we?

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, Miss Brina!  I'm so glad we're friends!  I hope you have a wonderful day & awesome weekend!

Updated: Interviews & Evaluations - Chapter 11 - She Will Be Loved

By all means, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke!  This is for real!  My apologies on the wait, I'm really sorry about that!  I hope you find that it was worth it!

The Storyboard

The Teaser

Here's the teaser I posted with The Fictionators:

The pasta that sat in the art deco bowl before me made my taste buds salivate. I couldn’t wait to dive in and taste it. Before our waitress took off to her station, she grated fresh parmesan cheese over our entrees.

We were commenting on how everything looked so tasty and had begun to dig in. I had just swallowed a bit of my food and had barely taken a drink to wash it down when Ali decided to just come out of left field and surprised me with her topic of choice.

“So, you and Edward, huh?” She asked with a wink and playful poke of her fork in the air towards me. As my brain went blurry on her question, I could have sworn I heard her meow at me. What the hell, Alice?

I choked, putting my goblet of water down, “Wh-what?”

“It’s okay; he told me all about it.” She replied with a big smile, shrugging her shoulders.

Oh, my God, no… no… “What?” I wiped my mouth with my napkin, placing it back in my lap.

“Don’t worry; it’s not a big deal.” Um, it’s a very big deal!

“Oh, my God, Alice, what did he say?” I tried to play it off as I looked down at my plate. Hopefully, she didn’t know everything.

Of course I would tell her… when the time was right, but not now.

The Music
Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved

I had this song in my head the whole time while writing this song.  It's mainly the chorus that was the inspirational part, not the whole song in its entirety.

…  I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more …

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Behind-the-Scenes: Interviews & Evaluations - Chapter 10 "Rush"

Hold the presses!

Chapter 10 of Interviews & Evaluations has been updated! Here's all the behind the scenes details:

The Polyvore

 

The Pic Tease

He leaned in, pressing me against the door. “I want to tell you ‘yes’ tonight. Please, Isabella, let me tell you ‘yes’.”

 

The Teaser

Nervously, the conversation dwindled down as we simply enjoyed one another's company. The sexual tension was so intense and palpable as we flirted with each other, excited that it wasn’t just a one-time thing; that the feelings were still there. That we could still carry on a conversation and get along with one another.

I cleared my throat which called his attention; he looked up at me from his coffee cup. His long eyelashes were shielding his beautiful green eyes as he gave me a once over.

Out of nowhere, I mustered up the courage to go there. To ask the one question that had been on my mind since he confessed his own realization of that evening.

“So, why don’t you remind me about the night you brought me home?” I quickly took one last sip and placed it down on the table.

He smirked as he raised his eyebrow, “Oh, you would like to know about that, hmm?”

“Yes,” I replied quickly, adding, “Please."

He tipped his cup back as he took in one last drop, placing it empty on the table. He quickly stood up, grabbing a napkin and wiped his mouth and hands.

The Music

 

Ferras - Rush [featuring Katy Perry]

 

Paula Cole - Feelin' Love

Teaser: Interviews & Evaluations - Chapter 9, "I'm With You"

Here's the teaser I posted with The Fictionators for the upcoming chapter of Interviews & Evaluations which is titled "I'm With You":

Manip by Candykizzes24

“I’m so elated you’ve come back, Isabella.”

“Of course, I’ve come back. I couldn’t stay away.”

“I haven’t stopped thinking about you.”

“I can’t stop thinking about you either.” I bit my lip, closed my eyes and looked down with embarrassment.

“You should never be embarrassed about what we can have, love. We can have it all. Together.”

“Together?” I asked, gulping as he closed the distance between us, standing in front of me.

“Yes.” He quickly replied, placing his hands on my hips and walking me backwards to his desk.

He reached behind me, swiping his items of his desk and leaned into me. Fireworks evading my brain as his breath cascaded down my neck, warming my skin…

Teaser: Interviews & Evaluations – Chapter 8

Here's the teaser I posted with The Fictionators for Chapter 8 of Interviews & Evaluations:

I smiled nervously.

“Of course, if you’ll just sign-in for me first.” She motion towards a plastic clipboard with a sign-in sheet and pen attached to it with a long silver chain.

As I placed the pen back down, she tilted her head slightly sideways as she tried to read my name upside down. Her eyebrows furrowed together, “Um, what’s the last name?”

Okay, lady, my handwriting is not that bad.

I took a deep breath before replying, “Swan. Isabella Swan.” I rolled my eyes to myself as I sounded like Bond. James Bond. What a moron.
