Author's Response: HAHAHA I agree on all counts!!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: I dunno she's got this stick up her ass...lol Damn Amelia. Thanks for taking the time to read and review!!!
She’s starting to get this. “Your hair smells good.”
Ok that entire paragraph had me cheesing like an idiot and then he went and said that...and just...ugh...I melted. It's like this unrecognized chemistry building that they aren't aware of. It's so damn cute. :-) And they the way he kept asking her questions, getting to know her, teaching her how to swing, the whole 'is she dating anyone' bit. Me thinks Mr. Timberlake might have a special liking to his/Amelia's assistant that he maybe hasn't noticed yet. hmmm...interesting. I love how you're making their friendship build. It's nice. But then at the end, *sigh* Amelia had to spoil it. I feel bad for poor Charlotte. If Justin doesn't save her, Amelia will put some blame on her I'm sure.
It's just sad how Justin allows Amelia to control him like this. I know he can stand up for his self, we've all see it but you know, all three characters are still a mystery still. I guess with time, you'll go more in depth with their personalities and why they're the way they are. hehehe. But I really loved this update. Such a nice change of pace. Don't take too long again. :). Update soon and good luck with the challege.
Author's Response: AWWWWWWWW meltage!!!! I love the whole getting-to-know-you parts of stories and when you can realize things before the characters really do. Yeah the next few sections are gonna really be intense as far as character reveal. So stay tuned ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Guuuuhhh there's mah Golfer!J :)
“And besides I need you to carry my clubs.”
Charlotte blinks at him before stepping out the door. “Well…okay…I guess I could do-”
“Charlotte,” he cuts her off laughing and she turns to look at him. “I’m not going to make you carry my clubs.” He shakes his head. “You were doing so well.”
I LOVED that part...cracked me up!
Author's Response: BAHAHAHHAHAHA That's one of my fave parts tooooooooo. Thanks for readin' and reviewin' bish!
Author's Response: Awwwww hahahaha well at least you tried! *gives you a cookie* Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response:
HAHAHAHAHA Amelia the constant cock block...lol Hoping to have updates up next week sometime. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
The interaction is just so cute and free with these too i wonder if it was like the begining of the relationship justin and amelia have, as in whats missing now
Author's Response: I love the interaction between Justin and Charlotte too! Its one of my favorite parts to write. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Where's the kiss damnit???????????
lol j/k, but great chapter. I love their interaction
Author's Response: Kiss? Amelia kissed Justin didn't she? *snigger* I'm glad you're enjoying the character interaction. Its one of my fave parts of this story. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
great chapter...THWACK ;)
hmm i hope your next chapter is gonna be up sooner than this one...took you hell lotta time girl.
damit i hate amelia shes bi-polar or something...
Author's Response: BAHAHHA THWACK!!!!! yeah I know my life got all crazy there for a minute. I had people visiting and a deadline on my PoP fic and poor little UTTK got kinda shoved to the wayside. Updates hopefully coming next week sometime. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
That golf lesson made me think of *NSYNC on The View in 2001 when Justin was telling one of them how to to do the dance to "POP" and he was like "It's like a golf lesson ... and you swing through ..." Haha ...
This story is really good. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: EEP I LOVE that interview!!! I can't believe I didn't make that connection when I was writing this hahaha. I'm glad you're liking it so far. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Wow..that was interesting. I'm not going to say.."Oh..when is Justin and Charlotte gonna' get together!?" cause' I'm not sure if that is what this story is about. All I WILL say is that I HOPE that it is an eventual Charlotte/Justin, but if not...I want Charlotte to have someone. I like her a lot. still not a lot we know about her though. Btw...I liked Justin's little interegation. hehehe He's a person who truly likes to KNOW people.
Wonder what kind of crap Amelia is going to throw at Charlotte...We KNOW Justin is going to get it..but poor Charlotte had no choice!
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response:
YES! Justin's interregation was one of my favorite parts as well! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Well, that was just absolutely horrid. lol. What terrible sex. But you wrote it so well. hehe.
I mean, I feel bad for not just Justin but Amelia because something is wrong with her to be like that with this man. Please tell us what it is soon. Is she having an affair? What? Why is she like that?! OMG it's so sad. They can't possibly get married. That's like Justin signing his death warrant. He needs more than that. He deserves more than Amelia treating him like some little boy instead of her man. He can't have her ruling him like this and I think the fact that he has to constantly remind himself of the past and that he loves her just proves that he's falling out of love with her. I'm sorry but he's grasping for straws here. Sure he loved her once but now...now it's like he's acting out of duty. What's love got to do with it? OMG I just...my mouth was gaped open like holy shit...and the sad part is there are people out there exactly like that. lol. hahaha.
It's time for Justin to realise that he don't just like Charlotte. It's time for something...compromising to happen between them to make him rethink this 'union'. hehehe but again, I love it and hope you update soon. :-)
Author's Response: I never thought I would be happy to see the word "horrid" in a review HAHAHAHA! You'll have to wait and see about Amelia. I'm not giving anything away but just know I won't leave you guys hanging. Hoping to have the next update by tomorrow or Monday. The next one is LONG and took me awhile considering I'm doing the PoP challenge right now as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: HAHAHHAA Putting together a TV stand!!!!! That's great!!! I'm glad you're liking it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
I just said this over at JJB but whatever, it bears repeating, lol.
That sex scene was awkward...and not the kind of awkward I usually feel when reading them. Really, really well written and just...painful.
And I agree with YellowHampster...you have written the demise of the relationship beautifully. Justin's emotions are palpable, and the struggle to hold onto something that clearly isn't there anymore is a universal thing that I think everyone's been through at least once in their lives, and it's heartbreaking to read. My only complaint (and it's so minor) is that I wish we could see glimpses of Amelia as the girl Justin fell in love with...even just occasionally, because she comes across as a little two-dimensional, and I like that you've shown Justin remembering discrepancies between how she once was and how she is now, although I'd like to see some of that struggle with Amelia herself.
But I love the way you've written Justin in this story...this sort of vulnerable, kind of eccentric guy who's clearly lost his direction a little, as far as life stuff goes. I'm looking forward to try and see him find his way back.
P.S. Weren't you once hosted at Blurred Vision when we were both babies? I'm pretty sure it was you, though I could be thinking of someone else...
Author's Response:
Guh YES!!! That's really what I was going for in this section, just awkward and they just don't FIT together, even down to the way their bodies interlock they don't fit hahaha.
I'm glad you appreciate the characters and their interactions with each other because that's really what this story is about for me. I totally understand what you're saying about Amelia and that was a concern of mine as well. I kind of want her to be just a little two dimensional but I think she's coming off more as stock right now and I'm working on reeling her in a little. We'll see more of what she was like in the upcoming chapters but mostly through Justin's memories because Amelia's only struggle really is to change Justin. She's changed and "grown up" and he's still "stuck" where he was when they first started dating. I think she sees her change in personality as an evolution that takes place in everyone as opposed to what it really is, which is her becoming a stuck up bitch hahaha
I love your analysis of the characters and the constructive crit is ALWAYS welcome!!! Thank you so much for your thoughts and for reading and reviewing.
P.S. That WAS me at Blurred Vision! I was such a noob back then...lol I saw you SN on JJB and remembered you from the old BN board. I've always loved your stuff! and it's great seeing familar SNs!
