This story is just awesome. Can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Great job! Brooke needs to come back and put Ridge, Stephanie, and Taylor in their places and with Ian behind her to back her up they won't know what they're in for.

I'm glad that Deacon is growing, changing, and most especially that he can see the real Ian.

I can't wait for more.

I am really enjoying this story! Grrrrrr.....Hot!!!!
I am very curious to see what Ridge is up to. Will Brooke and Ian be going back to civilisation (ie LA/Forrester) any time soon? And together?
I am hanging out for what Ian says to Ridge.
(I think Ian and Deacon will get on somehow)

Oh believe me, Brooke will get wind of Stephanie and Ridge's plan but willit be too late? Will Ian be with her? This isn't a fling so it will be interesting to see how he might fit into all of this.

Deacon is changing. He loves his wife. He also sees that Ian is a good man. He will try to get his wife to change her mind. Bridget means a lot to Brooke, Ian and Deacon both know it.

Thanks so much for your comments.

This was exactly what I needed. The show is so upsetting to most of us, even if it is for different reasons. It lacks romance and this chapter certainly gave me what I was lacking. You’ve captured the characters so well and given so much life to your own that I can see them as if they were on my screen.
I just adore Ian and Brooke. I am at the point where I truly do believe in them and I think that they WILL make it. I know you’ll give them obstacles. I know there will be a struggle, but it will be so worth it. And I can’t wait to see Ridge and Stephanie and Thorne and Eric and Amber and Taylor when they meet Ian and see just what changes Brooke has gone through. All the intrigue about Forrester and Ridge and Stephanie trying to take over has me enthralled. I can’t wait for them to get home and have to deal with it, yet at the same time I want to just enjoy them at the cabin. Brooke is so safe and serene there. Even Bridget and Deacon can see it. She feels so at home, but she needs to realize that Ian is like the people in Billy Joel’s song, wherever we’re together that’s my home. He IS her home and her true soul mate and I am so glad she found him.
I am liking how Brooke is seeing Deacon with different eyes. Being away from Forrester has made her see there is more than just black and white. She may not trust him but she is seeing that he’s made strides to be someone that she can respect and someone who does love her daughter. I also like how Deacon respects Ian and sees his relationship with Brooke for what it is.
I’m amused with Bridget. On one hand she tries to be the mother, the protector and on the other she is still the spoiled little princess. Brooke knows that it’s her fault and she is trying to help Bridget grow. Their relationship is a bit strained and there are trust and jealousy issues, but I think that they will be okay too. I know Ian has quite a way to go before he and Bridget can get along, but that too will come. I imagine when Bridget sees how people are at home she may see Ian as the better person pretty quickly.
Poor Ian. He is almost a guest in his own house. He isn’t used to having to worry about anyone else there and while he has come to feel comfortable and happy with Brooke there, having her daughter and son in law is purely an intrusion. He’s a very good man to do this for her. I like how he is still very private and protective of himself, and that Brooke can just laugh and see right through it. I also love that he pulls no punches or makes no apologies. I liked his talk with Deacon and I LOVED Deacon’s assessment on the rest of the family.
I love the sex play between Brooke and Ian and how they can tease each other about who is too loud. They are so in tune, body and soul. And I have to laugh that it embarrasses Bridget so much LOL!
As for Bridget, she is more in tune than she admits. She knows something about Paris and I doubt she will let it slide. I just hope that she stays on Brooke’s side when it all comes out. She seems to have wavering feelings about the relationship that Brooke and Ridge share. She is all for it, yet she hates her mother as the other woman. It has to be hard on her. I am trying not to hate her LOL! Some scenes you have me wanting to ring her neck and others you have me wanting to give her a hug. Great job!
I know I say it all the time but I really really mean it! I need more NOW! LOL! You have me so hooked into this story! I can’t wait to see what happens next! So please don’t keep me waiting too long!

[MissJR]

Missy, I am thrilled that you have brought this story back! It was wonderful! I have to say that I have struggled mightily to separate your Bridget from that thing on screen right now. It's been hard. Nor, am I particularly happy with the way the romance has been sucked right out of the show.

That's why this chapter is like a breath of fresh air. Imagine, a strong, take-no-prisoners man who doesn't have to be trashed. I loved Ian in this chapter! He sure had a lot more patience than I would have under the circumstances. I especially loved it when he said it loud and clear that he and Brooke were lovers and it was something he was not willing to hide or apologize for. Although he was quite serious, it was great to see Brooke remind him how things were between them when they first met. I loved their playfulness and the way they are so demonstrative with one another.

I'm starting to warm to Deacon in this chapter and it was cool to see him break the ice with Ian. Their talk was very enlightening. While Ian was quite pissed off with Bridget, Deacon did have a right to defend his wife no matter how obnoxiously she behaves. I had to laugh though at Bridget's observation that it didn't take Deacon long to fall asleep AFTER eating. Evidently you-know-what-itis just set right in! LOL! And, then to see him wolf down four waffles the following morning was a real trip!

I'm sick of Brooke feeling she has to walk around on eggshells around her rude, ignorant, judgmental, snotty and deliberately prudish daughter. While she was stern with her at times, it's clear that she unconditionally loves her daughter and is feeling guilty about the mistakes she made in the past. Brooke was obviously uncomfortable talking about her past relationships with Bridget. While I understand that the two of them want an open relationship, there were times when I found Bridget's questions intrusive. Perhaps she needs to look in the mirror when it comes to relationships. Sneaking off and marrying a guy that she only had 1 or 2 dates with? Oh, and another thing. What's with Bridget obsessing about Ian's assets? Hell, she has a man of her own, so what's the problem?

As annoyed as I am with Bridget, there was a certain poignancy between her and Brooke especially when they were talking about Ridge. I can see that Bridget is still disappointed that never worked out and I suspect she won't let the Paris issue drop.

The dynamics in L.A. were very interesting. Amber--snooping around and going through Brooke's private papers. Sorry. Baby or no baby, her ass would have to go! Now, here is Brooke willing to give Amber's trifling butt a chance and she pulls a stunt like this? Evidently, she's more loyal to her own comfort than she is to Rick. I hope Rick finds out what she did because I don't see Brooke putting them out. Stephanie is such a bitter hag! I had to laugh though when she wondered how Taylor managed to become a doctor. LOL! I often wondered the same thing. These people are such losers. It was mighty funny how a previously tired and haggard Taylor perked up immediately when the subject came around to destroying Brooke. All because her husband bought a ring! Stupid wench. Like what difference should it make to HER since she was content to accept Brooke's ring the first time around?

And, Ridge . . . I'm disappointed. I know he's angry and bitter, but even I had higher hopes that he would at least be disgusted at how Brooke's private papers came into his mother's possession. Evidently not.

I love Ian and Brooke in their hideaway. They are sexy and so HOT together! I giggled at them trying to keep a lid on their expressiveness and pretending that they were taking a "nap." As much as I love them there, I'm a little anxious for Brooke to get back to L.A. with her new man on her arm to kick some serious ass!

Great chapter, Missy, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

Thanks for the comments. I'm thrilled that you are still interested in the story.

Ridge is himself anymore as you will begin to see more and more. He's been hurt by Brooke and will want her to suffer especially if he sees she's happy.

As for Ian and Brooke they will have to leave thier hideaway. Brooke will have to go to L.A and face all of the Forrester.

As for Ian and Deacon. They sort of have a respect for each other. Deacon is going to protect his wife but he is also able to see that Ian isn't someone who is out to hurt Brooke.

Dot, thanks so much for you fantatic insightful comments. I know that this is your faorite story and I haven’t written it in such a long time. Thanks so much for your patience. LOL

I have to agree that the show is just plain sickening these days. Bell certainly knows how to ruin it, doesn’t he? That is why I refuse to watch the show. So, I’ve taken your advice and gotten to writing.

I’ve done my best to capture the characters so if you can “see” them then Im doing my job correctly. Brooke and Ian are coming together nicely as a couple. They seem to connect to each other and know each other in a ways that others haven’t known in a while. Brooke is at home with Ian. It more than evident now that others are there two. Notice she’s cooking, she’s putting away clothes and calling Ian’s bedroom HER bedroom. She has a sense of peace with him that she’s never had away from the stress, competition and fashion world. Brooke is simply beautiful with Ian. Deacon notices and changes and although Bridget doesn’t want to admit it she sees it too, that is what worries her.

As for L.A….time is ticking. Ridge, Stephanie and Taylor are up to no good for different reasons. For Stephanie it’s about getting Brooke out of the company to give it to Eric, for Taylor is validation to get rid of the woman that she sees is trying to steal her husband. As for Ridge it’s clearly about revenge. Ridge is in total revenge mode because of her rejection of him. Ridge feels betrayed, humiliated, and he out for blood. Brooke has always been “there” for him but that isn’t the case anymore. Ridge wants to lash out at Brooke badly.

Brooke is seeing Deacon in a different light because he is different and so is she. Deacon is evolving. Yes, he’s still the bad boy but he’s very loving toward Bridget. Brooke is finally opening up her eyes. Partly because of Ian. She knows that deep down Ian is seemingly different than he appears now she’s applying this concept to Deacon.

Deacon actually has a clarity about this situation. He sees that Ian is a good guy. He’s going to stand up for Bridget but he’s going to keep her on a tight lease. He wants to give Ian a chance because he sees that Ian has been good for Brooke.

Bridget is a mess but she really has a good heart. She wants to protect her mother, she wants to play protector but she isn’t ready to do that simply because Brooke is her own WOMAN. That’s the different. Brooke doesn’t have to apologize to Bridget for having a real relationship with Ian. Bridget has led a sheltered life and is somewhat spoiled---thanks to Brooke. Brooke sees that but she loves her daughter because she knows that Bridget’s heart is in the right place. They do have certain issues. Bridget’s insecurities based on the fact that her mother was constantly in the middle of drama. Bridget is very worried that her mother is getting involved with a man she doesn’t really know. Funny, because Bridget didn’t know Deacon when she married him.

Ian and Brooke are sexy. Nothing is going to change that. He’s got an addiction for her. As for Brooke she’s getting some of the best loving ever, she isn’t going to stop because Bridget and Deacon is there. She’s a grown woman.

As for Paris, Bridget is perceptive and knows that something DID happen but she isn’t sure just what. What would she think of her mother if she found out the truth? One thing for sure, Paris will come up again. Everybody wants to know what really happened.

Thanks so much for your comments. You know that I love to hear what you think. I promise to have some Love Story soon.

Hey Missy I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond!

I really liked this chapter, although it was kinda short to my liking LOL (I'm really teasing!!)

Bridget acts like she's Brooke's mom, instead of her daughter, she really needs to get off of it! I can understand her in some ways, but it's not her place to try and protect her mother. And she is not one to talk anyway, since she ran off and married Deacon after only having met him a few times, and against her parents (and probably her friends too) advice.

Ian had me laughing a lot. He really needed to show that he was not going to take any sh*t from anyone at all, didn't he? Both Bridget and Deacon could feel that rather quickly. And I was very happy to read that Ian is not biaised towards Deacon, it might help Brooke be even more open-minded as well. I guess she's learned that everybody can change, and deserve a second chance.

I hope Brooke will get back to LA in time! I wonder what it says in her living will that Stephanie is going to try to take advantage of? Something that gives Ridge power, I'm sure. Hopefully, among the papers Brooke has been faxing to LA during her stay with Ian was a new living will that's with Connor, and that is legal, that should teach Stephanie not to sell the skin before the bear is shot!

I hope Brooke will also find out how Stephanie got the papers, and that Bridget will have told Amber first that Brooke is ready to give her a second chance. Then, Amber will lose twice! (Can you tell I don't like her??)

As for Taylor, what to say? She's in denial big time! I hope she'll find out where that diamod went, and that Brooke actually decided NOT to go for Ridge when she finally had a real chance! That Ridge is really only with her because Brooke didn't want him anymore.

Thanks a lot for the great chapter, missy! Loved it!

Now, I can't decide what I want next : AAO or Secrets... But please, do write!

[missyb]

Hey Lexxie....sorry that it took so long for me to respond. I didn't see your comment until today. I don't know how I missed them.

Ian is a man's man and a real man. He's tough on the outside but when it comes to Brooke he does soften. She touched him and makes him want things that he's thought he's never have again. Brooke means the world to him. So...he's kinda dealing with the whole Bridget thing even when it pisses him off.

As for Bridget it does seem like role reversal. She's acting as if she's the mother and she's not. But she really worried. She's seen her mother make some bad choices with men and think that this is the same thing. It isn't. Brooke is making a choice based on love with a man who isn't married or a Forrester.

Brooke's trying to be understanding with her daughter since their relationship is so strained. However she's going to have to put her foot down about Bridget crossing certain lines. Bottom line, it's none of Bridget's business.

Bridget married Deacon without knowing him when she was and still is somewhat of a baby so she doesn't have the right to pass judgement on anything that her mother does.

As for Ridge....his going into a deep dive. He honestly is allowing his bitterness and hate to make him do things that he would never normally do. Of course he has his mother and wife to "support him". This is where we are going to see a different side of Ridge. One that is a dissapointing.

Brooke will be heading back to L.A where no doubt she'll do her best to clear up the mess that waiting for her. Hopefully, it won't be too late.

thanks so much for your comments. I really appericate them I'm just sorry that I didn't see them into now.
