Looking forward to it whenever it is up

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to get the chappie done tonight. But I thought I'd post a little sneak peek of it just to pique your interest and as an apology for making you guys wait a day longer!

“Alright, you know, playing hard to get is one thing, but inviting me here to meet with you and then going all ice-queen on me… It’s not right, sweetheart. Either you have an interest, or you don’t.” His smile had disappeared half way through, only dying down to a subtle one before growing back again. “And I definitely think you do, considering that you’re here, with me, with no other half in sight. I’ve got to say, I thought you would put up more of a fight. That fiery side of you-”

“Ok, you can stop talking now.” She cut him off, growing more and more annoyed at both him and herself as he spoke. “There is a reason why I asked you to meet me, and yes, I do have an interest in you-”

“Knew you would.”

“- but it’s not why you think.” Belle finished off, not phased by his interruption.

“So why is it then?” He leant in closer to her over the table, dropping is voice to low, deep one that did nothing but to push her forwards in her theory.

“Yesterday, when I asked if you were from around here, it was because I could swear I had met you before. There was something about you that rang so familiar to me. When you said that you hadn’t been in the area for years, I began to wonder why I thought that.” Belle explained to him, hoping that she didn’t sound like some kind of stalker or a freak.

“Maybe I’m the man of your dreams?” He said smoothly, leaning back a bit as she gave him a sarcastic look.

“You wish.”

“Well, then, what’s your reasoning?”

Thank you all for the lovely comments, once again. I love all the speculation. Makes it more fun for me!

You didn't make it obvious! I think it was mainly out of hope that i thought it could be Justin! So thanks! lol

WOW!!!!!!! to start with... you write angst as good as you write fluff... aka, amazing perfection!

I loved how Belle was trying to protect Aden and i loved Justin's reactions to what she was telling him! Absolutely perfect way of bringing him back!

I LOVE the character you've created as him, he's perfect!

Please update again soon, this was one of the best chapters you've ever written!!!

[xknomex]

Justin better not ruin their marriage!!!

LOVE this fic!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I'm glad Justin gave has good as he got.

Belle loving Aden and wanting to protect him is one thing but she, in my opinion, didn't have the right to say half the things she did. Especially when she knows barely anything about him. She came off as very self righteous. Shes been in Adens life of what 3 years and has helped him through a lot( and I'm not taking anything away from that because I do believe she helped him the most) but Justin was in his life for 13 years and whether he left or not it doesn't change that. He was there for a lot of stuff. Belle should understand what living in that house was like(whether he was abused as well or not, his fathers drinking was bad enough), so to make him feel guilty for wanting get out is horrible. And he was barely a teen himself at the time. It may not have been the brave thing but making him feel like coward for it is cruel. He was so young himself, Aden and Sean were his brothers but not his responsibilities. He wasn't some grown man who left them behind. Making him feel like him coming back is going to do nothing but ruin Adens life(not her exact words, but thats the way it came out) is not helping. Her basic attitude towrds him as well was annoying. I would have expected it to have changed when he confirmed who he was. Like when she showed him the pic and he was trying to figure everything out and was asking questions she was acting so impatient with it and was like ' How dare he waste time being shocked and not believing me completely when I have questions' in her head.

I know her reasons for it and tried so hard to understand her but I still just can't seem to justify the way she treated him, not even for Adens sake. There was nothing redeemable about her in that scene with him.

This chapter made Belle seem very immature. I know she how much she loves Aden but to be so inconsiderate of Justins feelings(even if she doesn't know him just knowing the family he came from should be enough) just made me want this chapter to come to an end because I didn't want to read more of her. Thats never happened before.

I know this wasn't the way you mean't for it to come out. And it was probably was mean't to show how much shes willing to do to protect Aden but I only see character traits that really made me dislike/hate her.

Please update soon. Hopefully Aden and Justin will meet.

Justin! I always like the idea of him in a fic. Angst starts to look more and more interesting.

Merry Xmas
