That was so romantic!!! I loved it, especially the Dr. Seuss book reading. It was perfect, lol. and I'm not really mad that Justin and Scar got married...I like her. I like Zooey, too, so....
damn, you know how to confuse me!
Author's Response: Yay! Romantic is definitely what I was going for. The Dr. Seuss reading just kind of leapt out at me and I had to use it, I'm glad you guys "got" it lol. Luckily, no one's really been mad that Justin and Scarlett tied the knot, but it'll definitely make for some split opinions down the road, huh. I'm glad I confused you though, I'm totally trying to lmao. Thanks for the review, babe!
Author's Response: Yesss, I want all of you guys to feel conflicted about their situation. While I do know how all of this ends, I honestly haven't chosen a side either, so I'm on this ride with you guys, questioning what I want to happen lol. But yeah, wait it out, the picture will get a little clearer eventually. Thanks, mama!
I'm so scared! You know this is how love starts right? I mean, he has an adorable wife and yet, is challenged and intrigued by Ms. Zooey and that usually grows from like to love. See what you're doing to me?! I'm all conflicted; in a totally awesome kinda way. Thanks for updating...
Ki
Author's Response: Be afraid. Be very afraid! No, just kidding. You don't have to be too scared, but I can tell you that you will probably be conflicted for a while. Because you're right, this is how love starts. And it seems that Justin almost forgets about his adorable wife when Zooey is around, which is only a bad thing, so it's like he's just opening himself up to this dangerous prospect. Okay yeah, maybe you should be afraid lol. But in a totally awesome way. :giggle Thanks for the review, girl!
this chapter > last chapter
also..
i would just like to say that when i saw that you had posted a new chapter i said "oh fuck yeah."
Author's Response: LOL you really didn't want them to get married, huh? This isn't my favorite chapter, but I love the glimpses you get into Zooey's life, so I'm glad you liked it! And even more, I love that that was your response! That's fantastic lmao. I don't wanna spoil anything, but I think you might like the next chapter even more... *whistles innocently*
Author's Response: Lmao. They are extremely dumb. They're not thinking anything through, they're just acting on impulse, which is a dangerous thing when you have a married man and a charming woman involved. But we all do things that sound good in theory and then look horrible in hindsight. So get comfortable, my dear, this train won't stop for a hot minute!
Author's Response: I know exactly what you mean, but I'd say that's exactly what he digs about Zooey. She's new and different and doesn't fit that perfect cookie-cutter lifestyle he seems to be living. And for some reason, we often think that new and different = better, so... it's gonna be interesting lol. Stayyy tuned!
OKAY, so I'm not so sure I like Scarlett anymore. I DON'T KNOW WHY, she wasn't even in this chapter, hahaha. But...mannn, I just love Zooey so much! And her momma! That's sad. I hate the vacuum too, btw. It's just too loud.
I am SO IMPRESSED by your updating speed! Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: LOL. I don't even know how you decided you don't like Scarlett, she literally did nothing in this chapter lmao. That's awesome. But I know what you mean, I love Zooey too, you just kinda conjure up reasons to dislike his wife. And yeah, her mom kinda sucks, so that makes you wanna root for her a little more, doesn't it? Thank you muchly, though, I will keep up the updating to the best of my ability! And I don't like the vacuum either. Wood floors, ftw!
OH MY GOD I JUST CAUGHT UP ON THIS STORY AND DEAR JESUS, SWEET LORD ABOVE.
I just...I'm so for Zooey and Justin, but THEIR VOWS!!!! OH, THE PLACES YOU WILL GO?! REALLY?! THAT IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER, EVER, READ. Seriously. Like, so cute, I kind of want to steal it for my wedding.
Like, I'm not even loving Scarlett and Justin's relationship that much, but, not even gonna lie, I kind of teared up a bit when they were vowing to do all those wonderful things. Which is SO your style, i don't know how you do it, but some how you manage to make all your characters SO LIKEABLE! When you want to, at least.
I'm so glad you're updating this story so regularly, I can't wait to see what happens? WILL JUSTIN REALLY CHEAT?! OH MY GOODNESS. I just...UPDATE LIKE, NOW!
Author's Response: Omg, I love you! Absolutely, positively, completely, I love you lol. And I understand, you thought you had a team picked out, but then Justin and Scarlett are kind of overwhelmingly adorable sometimes, right? When I was writing the wedding, it all came out so easily and naturally and that's when I know a chapter/scene doesn't suck. And then I was looking over my bookshelf for something I could use as a wedding reading and Dr. Seuss was screaming at me, so I had to include it. Hell, I may use it for my wedding myself lol. Anyway, yes. I thank you so much for the awesome compliment of being so excited and awesome yourself. And I always worry about whether my characters are boring or redundant or just not relatable at all, so maybe I go overboard with it. But I'm glad you like them! It's supposed to be difficult for all parties involved lol! I will try to keep up the regular updates. I had half of the story written before I started posting, and I have all the chapters outlined, so hopefully, this pace will continue. And you'll find out if Justin will cheat sooner or later... Most likely later. :giggle I think I've rambled nonsensically enough for one response, but seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH! :love
Author's Response: LOL, too easy, huh? You absolutely don't have to like Scarlett, that's fine. But don't worry, his interactions with Zooey are far from over, so fret no more, my dear!
Author's Response: Haha, I think adorable is a pretty perfect way to describe them. They just kind of make you smile, don't they? I debated with whether or not Justin should actually go through with it, but realistically, I don't think anyone would cancel their wedding for someone they met just a couple of months before. So yeah, he is married now! And you don't *have* to like Zooey, if you're diggin' Scarlett and Justin a little more, then just go with it! Either way, you're in for some... fun. *EVL* (That's Evil Villan Laugh, jsyk!)
I'm going to actually say a first for me in reading stories.
You can't let the original couple break up.... this is just too good, I love them together, they are perfect and fun, and damnit, I like Scarlett more than Zooey.
Ok, I have never said that ever, I always root for the new girl but I like them together....
Author's Response: Ooooh, very interesting. I don't think many people admit this or even expect it as a possibility. I like it! But they are a cute ass couple, aren't they? And while I love my Zooey, I adore Scarlett too, so you just may get your wish, girl. Good for you stepping outside the box! lol I'll see if I can make you happy!
i constantly think of zooey as zooey deschanel...and since you named her older sister emile.... that's who i picture when reading this! and then thinking of emile dating kanye, especially in the outfits you describe her in, is too funny so then i laugh and laugh and forget what i'm doing and i have to reread all over again.
anyway, i really enjoy this story, much like all your other ones...zooey reminds me of Rie, only less badass and more quirky.
Author's Response: LMAO, Zooey D. is totally my girlcrush and the absolute reason I chose that name/spelling for this story (even though I'm using Rashida Jones' face.) And yep, Emile's name came from Emily Deschanel, so your whole line of thought, while hilarious, is pretty logical. And added bonus, you're a double-reader, so thanks for that! lol And thank you so much for checking me out. I always wonder who's actually caring what I have to say, and it always turns out to be someone awesome like you, which is a huge compliment, so I 'preciate it. Btw, I love the idea of Zooey being some version of Rie, because Rie was like, my favorite person everrr. Some trace of her will probably show up in whatever I write from here on out lol. But anyway, I'm rambling. Thank you so much, Margaret!
Wow I'm surprised Justin went through with the wedding. Since I'm rooting for him and Zooey I was kind of hoping he wouldn't. Plus now that he's a married man that's a whole new can of worms that's about to be opened.Drama, drama, drama.
I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Yeahhh, I was hoping that would be kind of a surprise, because I figured everyone would think the wedding would be canceled or at least postponed at some point. But no, Zooey didn't have enough time to pull him that far from Scarlett's clutches, I'm sorry lol. So yeah, we've got a whole new ball game now that he went and put a ring on it. Stay tuned though, we're gonna have some fun! lol Thanks for the review, darlin'!
"As he sat there, staring at Scarlett, who seemed to be nauseatingly perfect, he started to wonder if it was all a little too easy."
What an idiot. SMH. Please update soon.
Author's Response: LMAO that about sums it up, doesn't it?
Ok, so now I love Scarlett even more (stop doing that to me because I'm scared she'll be hurt). I just don't know if it was the best decision because you know how he gets around Zooey and this is more than likely going to break her heart. The ceremony was adorable and they just seem to work don't they? The vows were very endearing and almost everything in me wants it to work out. But then, I wouldn't have a story to read right? Plus, I know there's something there with Zooey. Too frickin cute mama!
P.S- Love Dr. Seuss!
Author's Response: Haha, I love Scarlett, too! It's hard not to, which is kind of what I'm going for. I want you guys to be just as confused as Justin lol. It may not have been the best decision though, you're right, and I don't think Justin really thought all of this out... which he seems to never do where Zooey is concerned, and that's dangerous for everyone involved. But in the meantime, we can enjoy that Justin and Scarlett are happy and adorable together, and we'll get to Zooey eventually, I suppose, so you will definitely have a story to read! lol Thanks for the review, boo!
