California Dreamin' by Chocaholic123
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9428516/1/California-Dreamin
1967. Summer stalked in like a lion that year, fierce and angry; looking for someone to eat. Among the hippies, free love and Vietnam, we were forced to grow up, whether we wanted to or not.  Rated M

Review by: Midnight Cougar

I am thrilled to bring you this review today in celebration of my dear friend Chocaholic123’s win of Fic of the Week for her enthralling and insightful 1960’s story California Dreamin’.

How it all began was, I saw this swoonworthy manip in a Facebook group…

*made by Evenstar*

…and I thought what an excellent inspirational picture it would make for an Edward and Bella Twific, in the hands of the right person.  So, I sent it off to Choc, knowing how creative she is – from reading her other stories – and the rest, as they say, is history. And in this case, literally history, as Chocaholic123 took one look at gorgeous, sexy, black and white Edward atop that old car, the sixties swirled in her mind, The Beatles and The Mamas & the Papas – to name a few – played in her head, and because her creativity and writing talent know no bounds, she started to research and write, then to our great pleasure, California Dreamin’ was born.

This very original fic is set in 1967 and incorporates many pertinent references: the mood, settings, clothing, paraphernalia, and psychedelic music…which all depict “The Sixties” era – the “cultural decade” known for sex, drugs, freedom, irresponsible excess, flamboyance and, of course, San Francisco.

The story begins in Wentworth, California, where we meet “good girl” Bella Swan and her “queen of politics at Wentworth High” best friend, Angela. They spend the day at the beach, dreaming about their future, as they’ve just graduated from high school. They are both off to college in the fall, but before that, Angela and Bella make a plan to escape the confines of Wentworth and travel to the big city of San Francisco for the adventure of a lifetime.

*excerpt from chapter 1*

A station wagon slowly drove down Maple, swinging into the driveway opposite Angela’s house. We watched as Mrs. Black unloaded her three children, shooing them up the driveway and shouting at the dog as he refused to leave the trunk of the car.

“I’m going to San Francisco next week.” Angela confided as the eldest son turned around and stuck his tongue out at us.

“What? Why?” And the unspoken sentence; can I come?

“One of Martin Luther King’s staff is coming to make a speech. I missed his visit in January; I’m sure as hell not going to miss this.” Angela was the queen of politics at Wentworth High, and I was her willing aide. Together we’d arranged demonstrations, written banned articles and—our pièce de résistance—orchestrated a sit-in against the Vietnam War that lasted four days. The Principal hadn’t been pleased. “Plus, I seriously want to see the hippies in Haight-Ashbury; it’s social history in the making. Are you coming?”

“My dad will never let me go.” I picked at the rust on the arm of the chair, letting the flakes fall to the ground.

“So, don’t ask him. Tell him you’re sleeping over with me. My mom will back us up.” Mrs. Weber was what my dad called “permissive.” It wasn’t a compliment.

Rolling my bottom lip between my teeth, I scanned through my options. I could stay here while Angela went and had all the fun, getting to experience the excitement that was San Francisco. Or I could go with her, throw myself into the experience, and come back with a story I could tell my grandchildren one day.

For most people that wasn’t much of a choice. But I was a good girl—always maintaining decent grades, always home before curfew. I was afraid of authority; particularly fearful of my dad, and this made me procrastinate for longer than I should.

“Okay, I’ll go.” My stomach lurched at the thought.

“Really?” Angela was as surprised as I was. I nodded, unable to speak, scared that the nausea rumbling at the pit of my stomach would rise up and make itself known. Angela grabbed my hand, her grin wide with excitement. “This is going to be so much fun, Bella.”

Fun, yes, political, definitely, romantic? Oh, hell yes, because 1967 was well-known for being “The Summer of Love” in San Francisco, and when Edward Cullen – pre-med college student and soon to be Vietnam soldier – makes his appearance and sweeps sweet, innocent Bella off her feet, their connection is instantaneous, hot and progresses quickly, *wink* as they don’t have much time to waste before Edward leaves for Basic Training.

*excerpt from chapter 3*

"We need to stop," he whispered, his voice halfway between a breath and a moan. "I need to stop."

"Don't stop," I begged, causing another groan to escape from his mouth. I was drowning in sensation.

His lips lingered on mine a moment longer, as if he was afraid to let go. I let my eyes flicker open, drowning in his heated stare. My hands were still clasping his ass like a desperate woman. That's how he made me feel.

Like a woman.

He pulled away, stepping back and running his right hand through his hair. It was messy and out of place, and I remembered in a couple of months, it would all be shaved off.

I hated that.

His lips glistened from my tongue, his face pink from arousal. I was hot and bothered myself, panting out breaths and restraining myself from lunging at him.

"Wow." He smiled, the corners of his eyes crinkling.

I grinned back, patting my hair down, wondering if it was as messy as his. We knew we needed to leave; the clinic wasn't exactly giving rooms away, but I felt strangely reluctant to go. I felt so different from the Bella Swan who had woken up that morning; older, wiser, more sensual. I feared leaving the clinic was one step closer to returning to Wentworth and the Bella I used to be. It wasn't that I disliked myself, though there were aspects I was none too fond of, but now I'd experienced life like this, I didn't want to look back.

And I didn't want to let Edward Cullen go.

But, when this inevitable happens, it’s guaranteed, tears are shed and lives will change. Yet, there is so much more to learn and experience in California Dreamin’, as we live vicariously through these 60’s characters and enjoy the vivid descriptions from this world of colorful peace symbols, freedom speeches, controversial rallies, and unfortunately…the perils of the Vietnam war.

In my humble opinion, and as a pre-reader for the story, Chocaholic123 has a special way with the written word that somehow leaves me both satisfied and always wanting more. Her descriptive writing is beautiful and flows so easily, it’s like I can feel myself living in the 60’s.  So, please join us on this exciting, well-presented, historical journey that is only six chapters in and which updates weekly. And since we have a long way to go, you have lots of reading to delight in, plenty of the 60’s to experience, as we go California Dreamin’ with all the Twilight gang, on such a summer’s day!

Since joining the Fandom I have had the chance to read thousand's of stories but a Dominant or Cocky Edward just sucks the life out of me. Making me want to read a story. So when this WIP updates appear in my inbox I stop everything to run and read and now I am telling you why......

7 Years ago Edward and Bella have a "Fuck-Fest Weekend" as Bella puts it. (Got to love a Bella that don't mince her words.)

Outside forces keep them apart for these 7 years and while they had their Lustful Weekend they conceived a child who Bella has kept hidden from anyone who isn't family or close friends.

Upon meeting again Edward plays the cool cat making out they don't know each other but when Bella escapes to the Ladies Room she is soon accosted by Edward who soon learns that Bella is not the same Naive Girl he once met.....

"I've missed watching you come," he growls lowly, as if reading my mind.

When I finally have my wits about me again, I flash him a grin of my own.

"You've missed watching me come? How about fucking me? Have you missed fucking me, Edward?"

For a split second he seems startled – uncertain as to how to respond. This isn't the Bella that he knows. But then he lets out a long groan and starts undoing his fly.

"Yes, Bella. Yes, I've missed fucking you. I've missed-"

I don't get to hear what that last thing he's missed about me is, because I wrap my hand around his thick cock and grip and crush so hard that when I finally let go he drops to his knees with a high-pitched whimper.

For a couple of endless minutes, he can't speak or look up.

After a while, I snort and gingerly climb off of the sink, momentarily pitying the cleaning lady once again because now she has to clean off my arse-print.

With Edward still on his knees on the floor, I circumvent him and adjust my dress, smoothing out the wrinkles, turning this way and that in front of the mirrors to make sure I look presentable. I smooth down my hair and then open up my black clutch and pull out a hundred dollar bill - which I drop into the cleaning lady's dish.

Hot damn! A Woman scorned huh? (I love how she remembered about the poor cleaning lady)

As the story unfolds we learn about their young daughter, Ellie ~ Elizabeth London. How Bella had named her after Edward's deceased Mother and where she was conceived.

Edward starts to unravel who has been keeping them apart and all he wants to do is be in his daughters life, flying backwards and forwards between London and New York. Elizabeth missing him when he leaves only to ring him at 3am when he's back in the States. (What 6 year old knows about time difference?)

Rose is part baddie in this story and I only say part because she thought she was doing the right thing at the time where as Carlisle (Father not Dad) is pretty nasty and has known of Elizabeth's existence from the beginning. (I seriously want to put a hit out on him)

I have come to love a lot of the characters in this story and Yay! An Alice who isn't a shop-a-holic or a bossy boots. Emmett is Edward's best friend/ bodyguard who just can't understand how Esme, Edward's Aunt can beat him in volleyball.

Renee has got to be one of the best I have ever read, she is always making Bella think about her decisions and has words of wisdom for her daughter......

I'm scrubbing the dishes and loading them into the dishwasher (I may actually be throwing them in there) while my eyes wander periodically to the ceiling above me. I wonder what in the world is taking them so long. Edward went up forty-five minutes ago to tuck in Ellie.

"Careful, Darling!" My mum chuckles, nudging me out of the way. She coaxes a dish out of my hand before handing me a clean kitchen towel. "You're about to break all me dishes! Why don't you clean the table instead, yeah?"

I quietly acquiesce and wipe down the table, putting everything away in the fridge. Once the last bits are put away, I rest my forehead against the fridge door, hoping its coolness will temper my heat.

I feel my mum's hand on my shoulder. "Bella, Love…" she murmurs tenderly. "It's going to be alright."

"How can you know that, Mum?" I whisper back shakily.

"Because I can feel it, Bella," she whispers emphatically. "And I can see it. My goodness, Love, you can't be blind to the way that man is with that child! He absolutely worships her!" She chuckles.

"He treated me that way for a short while, and still managed to leave."

"But he came back."

I draw in a deep breath and let it out silently. "Yes, he came back. But I won't allow him to play that game with Elizabeth."

She doesn't speak right away. "Bella…I'm going to tell you something that I'm sure you already know. The love we feel for a child, Bella, is…so different, such a different bond to that we can ever feel for someone else."

 Patty Rose is a regular updater and even spoils us with "Special Updates" She calls them a "Thank You Update" for voting for her on the Lemonade Stand. (Sheesh! I will take anything)

So don't let me hold you up..... Go read and enjoy the rest of this ride. I know I can't wait to read the rest of this wonderful story.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9216928/1/Mise-en-Place
I recreated his mother's recipes when he was homesick. I made meal plans when he had to gain or lose weight for a role. And when he wanted chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne for another woman he was bringing home, I made them with all the love in my heart—the love he'd never see. So I showed him with my food. Rated M

Driven to Desperation by ericastwilight
