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.

“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…

I smiled nervously.

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.

Before I knew it and could do anything differently about the situation taking place, he was leaning over and pressing his lips against mine.


His lips were firm and full of passion, like this was something that had been building up in him for quite some time. His bottom lip rubbed against mine as we both gasped for air and he slipped his tongue inside my mouth.

We continued on with the meeting, I began to sign some preliminary paperwork and they agreed that I could take the rest home to have it looked over by a lawyer.

What they didn’t need to know is that said lawyer was my boyfriend. That’ll be my little secret.
They also informed me that I would need to get a physical to finalize the contract. Oh, boy. Nothing that excited me more than getting poked and prodded by a doctor I didn’t know with cold hands.
