Okay I understand that it's a lot of information to process at once and all but um, if he's falling for her shouldn't the fact that some random stranger who made it a habit of running to the press to slander Shelby maybe tip him off that this isn't the most reliable source? or that he should, you know, talk to Shelby and get her side of it?

Boys are dumb. Harumph. 

Well...that was...I don't even really have words, actually. Oh who are we kidding? You know me, I don't shut up.

It was so not the way I was expecting it to come out, that's for sure. I don't know who I'm more sympathetic toward at the moment, they're both such messes. Possibly Shelby, because this is clearly just...eating her up.

Oh yeah and have I mentioned Rod sucks big monkey balls? Cause yeah.

Man, I just want to reach through the screen and hug her. And then tell her to just fess the fuck up to JC already, because it won't be nearly as bad as if she keeps putting it off.

Sigh. Damn you, woman. I'm entirely too invested haha

Holy crap! That is not how I expected him to learn about Shelby's past. I really wish it would have been her to tell him, but I think that is asking too much of Shelby. I feel bad for both of them. I think in this situation it would be better for JC to run before he gets in even deeper, but he wouldn't be the character I think he is if he did that. I seem him sticking it out... now I guess I will just have to wait!

Update soon please please please! 

UGH!!!  i'm addicted to this. this is my crack!! damnit look what you've done to me!! i need more nooooooooooooooow

ok thanks! hahaha

AHhhhhh!!!!!!! It starts getting really really juicy and then nothing more? How could u ;) lol. Please please update soon! I read this in one sitting...ADDICTIVE!

 He just had no idea how to let her go, when he wanted so badly to hang on.

DONT! don't let go JC! *begs*


 I cannot imagine that she shared any of this with you. I fear, then, that this duty falls to me.

NO! No it does NOT Melina! OMGSTFU!

He probably never wanted to see her again. She didn’t blame him. Not one bit.

oh Shelby woman, will you learn to have some FAITH in the guy. Problemo numero uno from the beginning geez luise.


 He liked his Shelby better.

YES.THIS. AND THIS.

Stick around, and not abandon her because she doesn’t have a rosy past, and make her let him help her.

Good JC. Glad we have an understanding.

NEXT!

dun, dun, dun...the plot thickens!  lol...I hope he's willing to be open-minded and at least let Shelby explain her side of the story.

awwwwwww maaaaaaan! this is making my heart hurt.

Or she would bare her soul to JC and spill everything, and give in to having feelings for him, of the more-than-friends-with-benefits kind and hope that his feelings for her weren't diminished when he found the information he had been hounding her for, that had been unwilling to give, for fear he would hate how evil and conniving she was.  Used to be.

Ok Shelby woman, key words here? used-to-be! You're not like that anymore so let's let by gones be by gones. lol!

Not that it mattered. She was going to have to let him go soon, anyway.

STOP SAYING THAT! *puppy dog eyes* I dont want it to be over.

And it wasn't a Thursday, and he didn't get to see her, but he was okay with that. He could still call it a good night.

aaaaaaawwwww! SEE this is why I love this and them and together. not apart! crazy Shelby.

and in case I didnt make it clear before I HATE ROD! Its all his stupid ego loving fame whoring fault! If it wasnt for him than maybe Shelby's crazy "the end is coming" thoughts would be postponed a little longer. 

She's giving me suuuuch a bad armeggedonish feeling. I just hope JC's ready and willing to do something about it.

Great update!!!! :)

But the ending, wow she is not going to break JC's heart... she was going to shatter it.

"Well... are you and this friend...well, I mean... is this friend a....does he..."

HAHAHA! I love her mom... prob bc that is SO my mom right there.

When would her dead ex fiancé not matter anymore? When would she be able to go through life and not have to consider Lucas or his ex-wife, or his children?  

See. This right here could make her sound sooo insensitive. He's dead for christ sake, you're suppossed to show some respect and all. but damnit! I get that "ok I want to move on!" vibe she has going on though. poor thing.

If he wanted to, Rod could totally throw a kink into that plan.

No. Please tell this isnt some foreshadowingness - fuck I hate Rod.

JC started to smile, his tongue snaking out to lick his bottom lip. She almost had him. She knew it. "I do like  that part. And you did buy dessert. Can't let that go to waste."

HA! Men... *shakes head* ... so easy but I LOVE HIM! and he loves her... which i think is gonna cause uh-oh's.

I am not really sure what to write here. This chapter was hot as hell! I want a text/email relationship with JC. I mean DAMN, that was one of your best sex scenes and they weren't even together! That is talent right there.

And it was heartbreaking. While I suspected that JC was falling for Shelby, I didn't give much thought to how far gone she was. I had a feeling JC was going to get hurt, and that feeling has tripled now. Poor guy. Guess there is a danger for both of them using each other to get over their ex's. They will both be back where they were at the start of this story, actually they will probably be worse off. Damnit now I am all depressed.
