Dayuum! Strong emotions and strong words in this chapter. GreatO, you made me cry by the way. Every scene was so intense and charged. I've got to rent this movie. I know you've changed some things around but I think I'll wait until after you've finished your story. Awesome job!

Author's Response:

WOW! That is such an amazing compliment.  I have to admit these chapters were somewhat emotionally draining for me to write, I had to take a break from writing anything after I wrote them so I'm really glad that they had an impact.  Though I'm not *glad* I made you cry hahaha.  I hope you do see the movie, I only have three more chapters left, I'm interested to see people's comparisons.

Thank you for the wonderful review and the stars!

That was really great, I liked the transition from the girl and Ollie, to the image being a scene from his book. And Kylie's take was so on point, which was too bad for Oliver. Ah men.....

Author's Response: Yeah, you know Kylie was so young when they first got together, but she's growing a lot and I wanted to show that in contrast to Ollie who, bless his soul, still seems to be in a fantasy land.

So much going on in this chapter.  Alex kind of surprised me with his insightful statements about what it means to be in love.  It puts another spin on Ollie and Kylie's connection and makes you wonder if its as real as they thought it was.  I wonder if Ollie's going to cheat on Kylie with the babysitter (classic tragic hero thing to do).  I really like Lalita.  She's a great character.  All in all, a wonderful update. I reallly love this story to pieces.

Author's Response: I so glad you are loving the story BlackMa!  I really like Alex he's a realist and yet he's still emotionally open and I think that's the best combination to have in a person.  As far as whether what they have is real or not, well I think in the upcoming chapters that will become either more clear or more confusing hahaha.  I like Lalita as well, I think she has a lot of depth to her.

Hot damn, I was NOT expecting that.

Author's Response:

I do indeed love a good twist.

I am loving the fact that I get to introduce this movie to a new audience, it's great to still have a few tricks up the old sleeve hahaha.

  I knew it.  Heh heh.

 Great chapter.  I loved Ollie's rabbit hole story.  I can't wait until Kylie figures it out (dude--of course she had to throw her phone away).

Waiting with baited breath for the next update!

Great start... I need to know what the fight was all about between Kylie and Oliver! And his novel is intriguing; Makes me wonder what it's all about.  I guess I should just read some more! :)

Author's Response: I hope you keep reading.  As you will see down the line, his novel is a real eye opener.  And we'll get to the bottom of the fight as well.

Okay, so first guess is that the girl is Oliver's. But I've very interested in the mother, wondering what she's gonna bring to the story. This is so interesting, I love the shifts in perspective too.

Author's Response: Hmmmm. . .I wonder LOL.  Glad you liked it!

I really liked this sequence. Love the mystery of who the mother is and which character is the lover she's searching for.  Great as always greatodin.

Author's Response: Thanks, I had kind of a hard time trying to make that birthing scene at least somewhat believeable, LOL so I'm glad you liked it!

Wow, Cladio just laid it all out for him didn't he? Nice foreshadowing, knowing that it is in fact going to go bad, that his friend warned him that could happen. Slightly tragic really.

And yay, I'm caught up now. Let the begging beging, waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

I'm enjoying this story. Poor Ollie, his idea of romance does seem to be abnormal.

Author's Response: Yea another reviewer!  I'm glad you like the story so far.  Poor Ollie indeed.  The thing that drew me to the original character in Sex and Lucia and the way I write Ollie is inspired by some of my artists friends.  I'm always joking that there must be a disproportionately high number of bipolar artists because they all seem to think that there is a high level of emotion both pain and ecstasy that has to accompany good art.  Sometimes that line between art and reality is blurred in a sort of strange way leading to a certain amount of self destructiveness.  Still I do think his and Kylie's relationship is a beautiful one, they are in a way soulmates for me, of course just because they might be meant to be together doesn't mean they should be. . .

Okay, this just gets better every time I read a chapter. I love how this all played out, so rushed and yet romatic. Loved the last line, very sweet. Great job, my love of this story grows more and more.

Author's Response: That's awesome.  Yeah I love Ollie and Kylie, I think there is story is equal parts beautiful and tragic, I'm glad you like as well.

He was talking to his friend Johnny and he says 'most people hate their pain, I don't. I thank God for my pain because it reminds me that I'm still alive and as long as I'm alive –'"

"-it's never too late to start over." Oliver finished the line from his book, surprised to hear someone else quoting his own words back to him.

My favorite part. Very nice chapter greatO.

Wow, another great chapter. This story is so intriguing, you give a little information here and there, enough to make you wonder where this is headed. Great love scene too, very hot.  Very nice writing, great work all around.
