Oh my...I knew Turkish gave him a photo by Mia Fields. He's one crazy dude.

Wow, I got a little laugh out of it since I'm studying art history right now. Lolz Maybe...I won't turn it into my career. The whole situation is just comical since he absolutely hate the Turkish while I feel the Turkish is head over heels for him. I mean, the Turkish kinda gave him the best present ever. Can he still hate the poor guy though?

(5) Poor James this means he's got to go and have an actual real conversation and maybe even say thank-you, hope that won't be too much of a strain ;) I'm not that surprised that Turkish didn't say anything to Melissa, they're adults and if Turkish really didn't want to be a whiny-wannabe than it's something that they have to work out themselves. I kind of suspected it was the Fields (i wonder if the image has any meaning or if it's just what was given to Turkish) but it does show that Yusef pays attention when it matters.

Again another awesome Peter friend moment, I love how James can be cheered up by cups of tea (my personal addiction ;) or pancakes, ridiculously cute :) And to top off the whole thing we had screwed up family dynamics, his mum's reaction is interesting, it's like she's gotten to the point where him being gay still might be uncomfortable but she misses him enough that it doesn't seem to matter as much. Maybe one day his dad will realize how much he misses him, until then I wonder what he is going to do for Christmas, can't wait to see :)

Great chapter, more please *puppy-dog eyes*

Ah, you're fast! Excellent chapter, though it is as much a cliffhanger as the previous chapter was and I'm already thinking about the next one (rather ungrateful of me). But focusing on this one for a moment, I have to say I'm just in awe of all the characters and the interaction because they are very realistic and carry the plot forward in a good pace. Everything is just so super cute! And I know that's a horrible thing to say and I have to defend myself: the word cute very seldom leaves my mouth. Turkish is just trying so hard it makes me want to cry and all this talk about yummy food (especally pancakes) makes my mouth water. So, cute's what you get. And Peter! Ooh!

I wrote a review and it didn't take for some reason. I'm loving this story. I thought the glimpse of James' life through a phone call to his mom was very nicely done. Sounds like James needs to give Turkish a chance.

The "type faster, type faster comment" is from your author's notes. It reminded me of a scene from My Neighbors the Yamadas where his dad says "study harder, study harder" over and over.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I really like Turkish. He’s so different. In the first chapter I kept smirking to myself, knowing this was the guy James would end up with. Snort snort. I like his more than lacking vocabulary. It’s also very funny that he’s so eccentric, ha ha.

Can’t wait for the next chapter >:3

Eat, sleep, shower? You aren't allowed to do those things!!!!! Drinking vino - definitely; if it makes you write faster! lol


Omg, pod people taking over Turkish's brain, you never cease to crack me up!


And I knew the artwork Turkish got James was from the woman James admired. I knew it! See, Turkish paid attention to that little detail about James spacing out when Turkish mentioned about swapping artwork w/Mia. He remembered that James said she was his favorite artist. (I think I he said that; I'm trying to remember). Anyway, that proves that Turkish may not be as "vapid" as his work! lol

Great chapter; I bet James has some apologizing to do...or sucking up to do....
