Ooh Richard aka Robert Downey Jr. I'm voting for YOU to win Lisa's hand. You go boy! I can not even hazard a guess how this will turn out!

Since he'd split up with Carla the week before?/I don't remember you showing us that scenario. Did you and I forgot?----in fact,he would probably/Put a space before he----" But I thought you wanted me to tell Alan what had happened?" Pull the quote mark closer to But----You've written more twists in the last five chapters than a winning Olympic gymnast.----Great job. Can't wait for the next chapter.

    Lol, an Olympic gymnast I am not, but a vivid imagination I have. Lets just say I don't like to be predictable, as hopefully the last few chapters might prove. Yes, I just threw in the quick split with Carla for now because I had to free up Alan for a 'possible' reconciliation with Lisa. I will probably go back and elaborate a little before handing it into the publishers. My thanks again, Axil, your reviews mean a lot to me.

    You do need more on that. Any publisher will ask you the same question. Axel

At this point I don't envy Lisa the men in her life. Good storytelling really. I just wish the girl could get some good luck going.

Top of the class. Go up and kiss the teacher.That's an old expression which we used to make when I was at schoolYou have really spun a marvellous tale here Alexis. What a fertile mind can do. Where did you go to school? How far did you go? I loved school and respected my teachers. Still can see their faces when I think of them. james

    Funnily enough, James, it was an old castle in Edinburgh, before a convent in Surrey for a year to take A levels.... You didn't think this was all fiction, did you? I then married a wealthy stockbroker in the Isle of Man aged eighteen... Need I say more? I adored school, and English was my favourite subject. This is my idea of heaven, doing what I love, and sharing it.(would be nice to earn from it as well though!) I really believe in respect for teachers. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a lot these days. Take care, Alexis X

    Yes Alexis. Resoect seems to have been lost somewhere along the line. Modern kids now use only electronic tools instead of their brains to pass exam's etc. so the teachers too are falling along the same lines. What a shame to waste good brains. Congratulations on your mind force. It doesn't need a kick start to hop along at a good rate. Keep a'chugging. Fond Regards. James.

Another cliff hanger hahaha Keep up the great work. I know you will :) Now Richard is looking after her? Well she has been through a lot. People need to start saying their true feelings. But then I guess I might not be so hooked lol Loved it. Alex :)

I don't know why Alan didn't say more about his actions. I guess that's what happens when you manipulate other people's feelings instead of sharing your heart. People see that as a weakness, but it's the most powerful tool on earth. Sad that Lisa lost the baby. I had three miscarriages before my first son was finally born. It's a heart wrenching experience.
Love, Lisa

    Thank you for your great review and apologies for taking so long to reply. Three miscarriages must have been heartbreaking. I only had one between my daughter and son, and I found it to be a really horrible experience. I bet your first son is the apple of his mothers eye! Love Alexis x

Hi alexis,

Well, now, ain't that interesting! It's going to take a long while before she's able to hear what he has to say. Sure looks like she's got Richard, hook, line & sinker!

I definitely am looking forward to the next chapter! Bring 'em on! Oh, and I LOVE the 'no spag!' LOVE IT!!

smiles,

deb

Well, Lisa has yet another protector. When will this end? The miscommunication seems to keep turning up. I don't really feel sorry for Alan, I'm sure most readers want them to be the happy couple; that's not always reality. I would like to see Lisa mature and perhaps on her own. Maybe one day she would met Alan or even Richard. Another good chapter, please keep writing; I'll keep reading.
