-Jade-

I'm really wondering who's at the door now. Fantastic chapter as always Amber - i love the fact that she's starting to pine over Jack. It's great. Please update as soon as you can.

“Man, I feel Like a Woman.” Martha heard sniggering following the ring tone that had just blasted from behind her and she herself couldn’t manage to hold in the few giggles from her throat. The man that she could now see from the corner of her eye was fumbling around in his pockets in sheer humiliation, trying to turn off the embarrassing tone. “Bloody Lucas thinks he’s so bloody funny… Wait till I get my hands round his scrawny little neck..” He murmured angrily as he dug around in his pockets. ************** “I’m ‘basking in the beautiful scenery’ and ‘indulging in the fine selection of wines and spirits that Hartingwood Hotel has to offer.’ What about you?” He said smartly. ************** Jack smiled. “You didn’t deny it.” He laughed, picking up the brochure and waving it in front of Martha’s face, “you didn’t deny that you want me…” He sang. “Martha wants me, Martha wants me-” At that point Jack noticed the man standing behind Martha, his hands on her shoulders as he glared at the childish Jack. The man being Eamon. “…to leave. Martha wants me to leave, and I’ll respect her wishes. I’ll be in my room.” With that, Jack stood up and took a nod, then left the bar area with a skip. ************** “I thought I wasn’t in trouble.” Jack exclaimed. “It’s alright, I forgive you.” Martha smiled, falling back and laying down on his bed. “ Those bits made me laugh so hard Nicole. Totally classic chapter. Fabulous writing. My thigh hurts now, cos I fell off my chair... I was laughing a bit too hard I think. Anyways, can't wait for the next one!!! *hint hint* I'll be your friend....

You're such a snitch.. 1. I like to insult you or tell you to go away. You know that. I just like to play. 2. I was incredibly busy, so when you said "fine I'll go" (like you always do) I thought that it was actually a good idea, and logged off myself. lol. I've been REALLY busy, as in painfully "ow my head hurts" busy, so I haven't had much time to do anything. So even if I had known you wanted to talk about the chapter, then I would have said no. Nothing personal Jadey. I know, I know, just messing.

It may not be fair - but it's out of my control. Sorry! I'm not just being silly, or taking it out on you guys, I'm serious, she wouldn't talk to me last night so I couldn't do anything with the chapter.

Well, I went on msn last night to talk to her about the chapter, and what she should do with it. I said 'hi' she said 'go away'. I said ' that's not very nice, I came on here just for you', she said 'I'm busy' I said 'Fine I'll go' she said "ok". So I left. The reason you guys don't have a chapter yet, is because Nicole blanked me last night.

lmao, Nicole, that's low. See how she uses those of you who are faithful readers?! I would hardly say I insulted her "over and over", but I'm gonna allow for the fact that Nicole always exaggerates things just a tad... "That is because I sent Jade my chapter weeks ago, and she has yet to proof it. Okay, okay.. I'm lying. I sent it her like a day ago " Need I say more... And for that matter, no small thing, such as me being tired, has ever stopped Nicole being mean to me. I think the word that comes to mind is hypocrite. And one more thing... marvellous wit? Where did you get that idea from? And to any PMs people want to send me, don't worry about me, I can manage without them. Nicole, on the other hand, doesn't ever get any PMs, because sadly, she has no friends... so they might be a nice present for her. EDIT: oo nearly forgot, here's the link to her account if you want to PM her. I'm sure she'd appreciate it - she could almost feel popular. http://backtothebay.com/forum/index.php?showuser=3466

Firstly... awww poor jacky Secondly.... uh-oh Thirdly... Fantastically written Nic! Can't wait for more.

Richard's horrible. Eamon's actually pretty sweet, except for the fact that he's a total coward. Poor Jack. Loved the chapter Nic, please update when you have some time! No rush or anything..

lol, well things come in threes, right?

Thanks Eli!

Thanks Laura. Again.

aww thanks Laura. Wow, you seem to be popping up all over my fics.

Since I'm not Jess, I'm going to shamelessly bump this thread, because I don't think people realise that there's been an update.

awww Nicole, I loved it! The JMness was fab. But Eamon, as much as I don't dislike him, he should go away now. The chemistry between Jack and Martha is so obviously there that they won't be able to deny it for much longer! Can't wait for the next chapter, but take your time of course.

You might just be in luck...

Sorry, the reason there hasn't been an update is because I've been slow with the proofing - I never realised how busy it would be during the holidays and then when I went back to school as well! I will get it done really really soon. Sorry!

Ok, I needed to come in here and say how much, after you had re- written it, that I loved it. Working into it seriously made all the difference, and now when I read it through, I get totally taken up into the relationship. Your description was seriously fantastic and creative. And you really really do write the relationship between Kit and Peter so well. Like SfanS, I could see it all happening, it was so realistic. I think it's great that you've created a new pairing. Great, great piece.
