First off... *Wipes off the steam on the screen* Wow o__O

Anyway, before I get carried away back to my intent to leave a review. I know that this is an old story, and I wouldn't have come across it. I'm so glad though that I was able to because I thoroughly enjoyed it. And it's not just because of that steamy hot sex scene that took place. I truly have a high regard for this story that I figured I should stop and give a well-thought out review since it deserves being praised and you deserve commendation for writing this.

Your skill as an author is evident in this story. From the build up of the narrative, to the voice of character whose perspective you've written this in, to the witty dialogue, and the brilliant play of images between the wine, music and actual foreplay, I don't know where to begin. To me they just all come together and make this story work.

The pace of the narration/consciousness of the primary character establishes immediately her personality such that the choice of the drink and music metaphor/analogy/parallel seems like the natural choice to make, thereby everything is coherent and structurally organic. Add to the fact that the pace is set well in the narration itself that the reader feels that she is part of the fact and the narration becomes an actual foreplay, leading up to the eventual climax of the act. It sets it up so you're left wanting, intrigued, interested and not wanting to quit the story.

Finally, I think that a short story form does the idea for the plot justice. Other writers may have and would probably decided to establish this relationship between the two characters in the span of chapters. That idea would work but I don't think that it would be as successful as this short. Everything is wrapped and concluded with the length just right to accomplish all this. 

Literary -analysis-diarrhea aside, I really do like this story. And it's got me wanting to read your other works if they would  feature the same quality this visual has.

Three thumbs up, if that's possible, and I only regret not reading this sooner. I have a deep respect for your craft and you can count me as a fan of your writing. ^__^

You know, I used to really, really like UTTK!Justin, but a couple of chapters ago, I've started to dislike him.

I feel as though I can't entirely blame Amelia for this situation. He knows he can't stand her but he's being the stereotypical idiot by staying with her because he claims that he loves her. (which I completely and utterly doubt to be true.)

Also I feel like he's staying in the relationship because it's a comfort zone for him. If he breaks up with her, Amelia can and might make his life and business miserable. And aside from his deluded beliefs that what they have is love, I think at the back of his mind that's what's preventing him from moving on with his life.That said, I can't really see him as the victim if he's willingly subjecting himself to this relationship and what's worse is he's actually marrying her.

Then he pulls Charlotte into the equation. She's also at fault for going through with the affair but it does take two to tango. He's starting to peg me off as the man who wants his cake and wants to eat it.  He almost makes me not want him and Charlotte to be together.

Character whinning aside, I like how you've constructed this entire affair to be as real as they go. You've created characters who aren't just fictional to me but I think I may have known them in RL.  it's hard to explain but there is something that sets this story apart from the usual 'other woman' tales -- and it might be the characterization of Justin.

Lovely update as usual :) No worries/pressure with trying to come up with a chapter as fast quickly as others. Your word count per chapter is a feat in itself and the careful construction you put when you write them is enough excuse for me.

Author's Response: Wow thank you so much! I've said from the beginning that this story is really me playing with characters and seeing how their actions effect each others lives. I strive every chapter to make it as real as possible and it's good to hear that I'm getting it right every once and awhile lol. And THANK YOU for the shout out about construction! Seriously the amount of times I read and reread and make my editors read and reread just to make sure that everything connects and has a purpose and meaning...well lets just say my editors deserve to be paid for this...not that I'm going to but you know...its the thought that counts lol. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!!!

I perfectly understand *O* College somehow sucks the inspiration to write >_< But I'm glad you updated~

First, a big THANK YOU for building up the Justin x Amelia dynamics and for giving Amelia redeeming qualities. I'm not saying she's totally lovable but I think it explains why she is the way she is. While this wont make her the best character in this story, she's not just one dimensional. Same goes for the Amelia and Justin relationship. I hate it but at the same time I understand why they stay in their fucked up relationship.

As for the JustinxCharlotte part, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them now. I really can't wait to see what you have in store for them. Or which direction you'll take this. I'm glad Charlotte is thinking of leaving.

Lovely as always dear :) Will patiently await the next installment ♥ 

I'm sorry for not reviewing earlier on. I really enjoyed this story. I love how you built up their relationship. It took a while and nothing was forced. There's a sense of realism in it and how it happened didn't seem far-fetched.

I also love your characterization of your protagonist. She's not Mary Sue as would have been the usual case in such plots. She's very consistent and I enjoy how she carries the narrative.

And I really enjoyed this chapter. It showed the dynamics of their relationship and how they work together. Makes me wonder what else will happen during Sash's stay in LA *U*

Sash shouldn't feel too insecure. J. Biel has a man-back and man-upper arms... and can't act. *koff* fangirl dislike aside, she has finally displayed her true colors. Meh.

And though he was drunk and thought they had broken up, I also dislike Justin for doing that to Sash.

Also boo Sash for venting out her frustrations on the wrong outlet 8< I do hope Justin follows her. If not, I hope he doesn't go back to the Biel TT___TT

Loved this chapter because it derived a lot of emotional attachment from the reader. Again, it didn't seem  far-fetched and overly dramatic. Will patiently wait for the next installment.

D: it ends~ Oh well. There's Mockingbird, Welcome to the World and We Weren't Crazy to look forward too :3 *pops virtual champagne for completion of story* o/

That aside, although I'm cheering Justin on for having moved on and giving Emma a dose of her own medicine, me feels as though this segment was rushed. I don't know why but it just feels that way. Or maybe it's more due to the disbelief that this story is over XD; Iunno~

Either way it was a great story. Loved reading up on Emma's craziness. She deserved what she got and I can't blame Justin for moving on. Though the baby and engagement seemed too soon but oh well these crazy hollywood types XD; 

Great job dear 8D You have another story tucked under your belt. Hope to read stories that feature characters as crazy as Emma in the future ^_^

Yes, you are evil D< Letting us all hang like that. Right you are for stating that karma's biting her in the ass. Though I was a bit surprised it came soon. Ah well~

I hope Emma doesn't think she can be with Justin now easily T___T I hope he gives her a hard time.
