Thanks Michael...that was pretty funny. With JJ's genetics, calm, impassioned, and asexual behavior is pretty unlikely. :-) I think that Alex has a powerful and influential family such that he really doesn't have to worry about Brad's vengeful behavior, especially if he's in the UK.
-
I think that Brad wants a relationship, but as soon as it starts to get a little intense, he backs off. There are probably a number of reasons for that, but I think there are two that are the most pressing:1. He knows he isn't really ready for that level of commitment yet. 2. He really doesn't want to hurt someone he cares about. I suspect that after all the pain he's endured, he's reluctant to inflict hurt on someone else.
-
Thank Kitt! You're right about the seduction part...this is incredibly slow in CAP terms. I think it's entirely likely that Alex will ultimately dump JJ for a woman, but right now, I think JJ is acting more like the hunter/predator than Alex.
-
An Easter Egg eh...never really thought about that. The reason that's hard to do is that I really haven't figured out how Granger's career will ultimately turn out, so if I dropped an Easter Egg about that, I'd have to then work to make sure I actually wrote that in.
-
You are hilarious! I think your comments about Alex are interesting, especially when we consider that he really hasn't done anything wrong. Still, there's this feeling there that he is something of a cretin, even if there's no real reason to feel that way.
-
Thanks for the review! I agree with you on relationships with an age difference, but I think what Brad is doing here isn't really related to that. He's actually showing his own maturity and self-perception by realizing that while he may be ready to start dating, he's not ready for an intense relationship.

From Wiki: Drinking age in England: 18 to buy, consume, possess alcohol in public 16 to consume beer, wine or cider on licensed premises with meal 16 to buy liqueur chocolates 5 to consume alcohol at private premises 0 under medical supervision

It's funny, because when Wade and Matt had their conversation about Alex in chapter one, they had to agree that he really hadn't done anything wrong. And he hasn't been improper with JJ either. Yet it does make one apprehensive. A no-Will chapter...I have to throw Maarten a bone every once in a while. :-)

Sean and Brad do make a compelling couple. Sean is significantly younger than Brad, which is not unusual for a successful guy like Brad. And they seem to be sexually compatible too. They'd probably be good...if Brad were ready for that.
-
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this...I don't think JJ subordinated his interests here at all. He's chasing after Alex like a dog in heat, so whatever he can do to make that happen, he's going to do, and that's motivated purely by what he wants.
-
Clearly you have a thing for bitchy people. ;-)
-
I have to agree with you on Americans and how we portray our own history. I truly detest it when people can't admit their mistakes, and it really pisses me off that as a country, we can't seem to do that. I thin you're also right about Brad, and that's why he seems to keep his distance from guys he hooks up with.

Actually, you had originally told me they were in Pittsburgh, but the Eastern Sectionals were held in Ashton, PA. The 2003 Eastern Sectionals ran from November 13-16, 2002. So you were wrong, and I fixed it.

September 15, 2002 Boston JJ I heard a knock on my door, and that pulled me out of a dead sleep. I liked to sleep in, and most people knew better than to interrupt me. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 10am, which wasn’t early for most people, but it was really early for me on a Sunday morning. I wondered briefly who would be bold enough to risk my wrath. My father, Stef, and Grand had flown back to California last night. Will and Darius had gone back

I'm a little stunned that you actually found something about Will that you like. :-) I love that you have such a good sense of humor!
-
I'm so glad you liked it, and that your feet are happy. Keep on dancing!
-
I'm so glad you didn't mind the kinky sex parts. If you sent me those wonderful treats, I'd take on some serious pounds, and then it would be tougher to do the research for those scenes. ;-) (that's a joke)
-
Thanks! It's a given at this point that Zach loves Will, and that his feelings are fully returned, but I'm not sure that means they'll "make it through", and at this point, it's hard to even say what that means. But we'll see.
-
Thanks Kitt. I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you liked this chapter. I thought it said alot about how deep Zach and Will care for each other. For Will, where family is damn near everything, to blow them off to spend his birthday with Zach...that was pretty monumental. And the necklace Zach got Will...pretty awesome.
-
I am so glad I could brighten your weekend! It was a happy chapter.
-
Well, we went through hell with 9.11, so I figure I owe you guys some happiness. Just relax. It's all painless. Muhahahaha. I don't think Zach's good, or bad, I think he's interesting. And I think that he's going to be a huge challenge for Will, no matter which path their relationship takes.
-
We'll assume there was some ice involved at least at some point. Personally, I'd rather have the drugs, but then again, that's my normal mode. :-)
-
Perhaps, but 17 year old joints can handle more abuse than my poor old bones.
-
I think it was a nice contrast, that something relatively inexpensive had more meaning than a Ferrari or a building.
-
Very good point. If you would have pointed it out, I would have still left it as freeway. It's entirely reasonable that Zach would adapt to the culture in California rather quickly, especially since his boyfriend is from there, and he doesn't really like Ohio all that much...so he's not like Gathan, where he's embraced the Midwestern culture. I think Zach is quite ready and able to blow off his Ohio roots and become a Californian.
