Like I said, I cannot understand WHO the guy is. Is Bill sleeping with someone? And someone who is a lot older? What the fuck? I'm like... totally confused here. So many things are going on in this story, and I don't even know how to breathe when I read it. Honey, you make it so realistic, so PERFECT, and so realistic. So much drama is going on at that campus that it should be a reality show. honey, your writing is amazing, it gleams with perfection and sometimes I can't even STAND reading it. Not because I don't want to, not because I don't like it but because I am so jealous it's overwhelming! you have a way with words, and a way of writing that makes it so.... oh god honey, i cannot even find the words. but this story is so perfectly worked-out, that i dont know what to do with myself! LOVE YOU GORGEOUS

Author's Response: Omg, you're so cute, Annie! I'm totally glad that you've got no idea, it means I've done something right by sheltering this character enough to hide his actual identity. I honestly thought it was obvious, but I guess I threw people off track when Gustav described the male as "professor-like", because everybody began to think Bill was fucking with one of his professors? And thank you so much, I'm glad you like my writing technique, etc, I have been writing for a while now and I can only say that I have learned a lot already, but I'm still learning! Jesus, don't be jealous, have you read your stuff, like really? Come on, Sweet Desire is quality! < 3 I love you, thank you so much for all your beautiful praise, it matters and means a shit ton to somebody like me! < 3 xxxxx

Thanks for replying to my previous comment. In reaction to it and this chapter, I have to say that I am very glad that the "professor-looking" man turned out to be Bill's father. I would have respected Bill less if it were a random lover.

Bill seems to remain true to himself. Yes, his looks and external attitude changed, but he seems to remain the same person as before. I applaud him for staying true to himself, even though it is obvious that he still has a very hard time to be Tom-less. I hope that Tom will start working harder to get Bill back, as Bill-less Tom seems to be as bad as Tom-less Bill. These two need each other. I wonder if Gordon is gonna help Tom get Bill back...

Author's Response: I'm glad it was Bill's father too. It would have been creepy as shit if it wasn't, right? Plus I really enjoy Bill being true to himself. No matter how different he may seem in this to STN, he still has the same views on love and sex, and shit. Not even Tom could change that, Tom only made him more cautious and that totally backs up the whole sex thing (DONT TRUST NOBODY) < 3 Thank you so much for expressing your views! xxxxx

I cannot wait for those two to finally talk it out. Beautiful work!

Author's Response: Thank you bae xxxxx

1. Gustav is cool and honest, at least that's the impression I'm left with when I'm done reading ;) yes, he's got quite the temper, but Tom still hangs out with him, despite all that so it cant be all that bad, unless Tom's just lonely and need somebody!

2.No, it's not the right decision, he should let Tom play and convince those bastards that no matter what, he's a good player! Jeeeez, the guy did a mistake sure but his privatelife shouldnt affect his school life OR his future career!

3. I HAVE NO IDEA I'M SO STUPID, HELP MEEE!

4. Idk, a bloodbath! Cause Gustav is an angry little lemen and Bill's kinda bitchy atm, and well... whenever they meet, it's only a matter of seconds before someone else gets involved! So yeah, Gustav will yell, and Bill will try clawing his eyes out! It hasnt happened yet and I've read all the chapters so far, but I still think it could happen!

5. U should wait just a little ;) I know I keep daying I feel sorry for Tom, and god knows I do, but yeah, drag it out just a little! And I can't wait to find out how Bill will react!

And I know I keep saying how sorry I feel for Tom, but I DO feel sorry for Bill as well! Things cant be easy for him either! He's hopelessly inlove with Tom, so hopelessly in love that he closed his eyes whenever Tom came over and just... ignored the fact that he was with Ria. I can imagine his thoughts. One minute he says he has to end it, cause its for thr best and the next, Tom's there and Bill's reasonable thoghts are out of his head and he's falling, deeper and deeper!

Author's Response: Hiii bae!!

I'm really glad you're a fan of Gustav's, (he doesn't seem to have very many, poor soul!) and I'm really happy to see you thinking on another level, especially concerning their friendship. It does seem all too convenient for Tom to befriend Gustav now, already a year into college life, when he's just fallen out and lost his best friend, Bill. I totally understand why you've said this, I'm sure I'd think something along those lines too! For all we know, he COULD be using Gustav - even just to take away the loneliness and to have somebody side with him for a change.

As I've already explained this before, I'll not go into a full blown rant about it, but I'm simply implying that every little thing that somebody does, can effect every little aspect in their lives, no matter how different and unconnected they may seem at first. Tom's reputation and popularity was tarnished - his school performance and football dilemma were merely selfish reasons on Coach's behalf, he feels as though he can't LOSE anymore funding, and Tom's bad, blackened reputation could potentially jeopardize those funds if he were to play, (nobody wants to pay to see somebody like Tom play!)

A bloodbath?! Wow, I wasn't planning on a bloodbath, per se! ;-) However, I do want those two to meet somewhere along the lines, I also want them to meet more than once too. I think it's kinda significant to place both of these dominant characters in one setting/scene at the same time because I love the contrast that would be shown between them? They're totally different to each other and they're both strong minded, neither would want to willing back down from the other and I think they both could destroy each other (not literally lol, figuratively maybe!).

I honestly never wanted to drag the reason behind Tom's shitty doing out. It's not entirely the whole point of this story afterall. I always thought the main point was for Tom to work hard to make Bill forgive him? Also if Bill does forgive him at some point, where would their relationship then lie? Would they be back to square one, friends with benefits? Or would they officially date, Tom confessing his feelings to Bill and Bill eating that shit up? Or would they just remain friends, Bill not able to trust Tom in such way anymore? But I guess what Tom had done needs explaining and people want to know, JUST AS MUCH AS BILL DOES.

I'm glad I'm able to tear your opinions on both Tom and Bill, I kinda wanted people to not know who to feel most for. But I totally agree, Bill may not have been right to pursue Tom when he had a girlfriend, but love is blind and you'd do absolutely anything to be with that person. You don't care what you do or what people think as long as you're able to have them, even if it's for a little while.

I love you, and thank you so much bae! < 3 xxxxx

Again, I feel so sorry for Tom, honey! I know i havent ( or maybe I have? ;) ) found out WHY he did what he did yet, but I do know that im 100 % sure that Tom isnt a bad person and that yes, Bill is in his full right to hate on Tom, but Tom still doesnt deserve ALL that crap. I mean, wtf is up with him? Did someone poke a stick up his ass and they cant surgically remove it cause its too dangerous? Oh well, i am so sorry for not reviewing earlier, baby sweet! U know I love this story, and I'm making up for it now ^^

Author's Response: Hii beauty! < 3 It's weird that a change in perspective can change somebody's views entirely. When Stay The Night finished in Bill's perspective, everybody wanted Tom's head on a stick, they hated him for hurting Bill, but then since King Of Wishful Thinking is in Tom's actual perspective, everybody forgives and loves him again, it's weird, right? You're hilarious and you don't need to apologize for being late, I still appreciate every review I receive, I love you! Thank you bae! < 3 xxxxx

My absolutely favorite part of this chapter:

" “I’m in love with Bill,” and that’s the truth of the matter, he always has been and when he looks up, tears begin to build in his eyes, brimming high and clouding his sight, and he finds him sniffling back the sobs at the loss of his former best friend. It really fucking hurts and it hurts more now that he can hear the truth with his own two ears. “I’m in love with your son and I fucked it up. I fucked up so bad, Gordon. I just don’t know what to do to get him back again.” "

I keep coming back and rereading it.

Author's Response: YOU ARE SO CUTE, WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF YOU?!? I'm so happy that you liked this specific part, I really wanted people to realise that Tom isn't just an asshole (he is a little though) and that he is capable of feeling something pure too! xxxxx

soooo yeah, last paragraph made me tear up

Author's Response: I'm sorry :-( but I'm glad that it made you feel something though, so thank you < 3

Forgot to say that you write people emotions wonderfully. I could feel pain and tears (and even a clogged nose :) of Bill and Tom in this chapter.

Author's Response: YOU KEEP COMING BACK TO PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE. Thank you so much, I'm so glad that you think I'm effective enough to portray emotions and such. It's kind of difficult but I've always been better at showing emotion than I had actions? Thank you xxxxx

I like Gordon. I like that he accepts Bill fully, that he is very protective of Bill and that he is very affectionate to Bill and is not ashamed of it. He seemed like a great father.

The interaction between Gordon and Gustav was interesting, to say the least. Two very strong personalities, two people that do a lot for those they care about. Bill and Tom are lucky to have respectively a father and a friends like those.

The dinner was a painful affair. It was weird for Bill to run like that, but I guess, he could not take it anymore hearing from his dad about what he lost.

The ending of the chapter was unexpected. I did not expect Tom to admit to Gordon that Tom was in love with Bill, as I thought that Tom had not admitted this even to himself yet. But I am very glad that he finally did, as I think it was the first right step toward getting Bill back.

Anyway, this is a very exciting chapter. I cannot wait to know what will happen next!

Sorry to hear about your mom. Hopefully, the doctors took everything cancerous out and she will be fine. Best of wishes for speed recovery to your mom!

Author's Response: Hiiii! I love a nice dad too. They're quite rare, I think. Especially in cases like this? Gordon is great, and he'll keep on being great too, I hope!:P I admire how you've described that point, because it's so accurate. Both Gordon and Gustav are strong minded people who hate backing down and I enjoyed writing about their slight altercation. But honestly speaking: I think Gordon would have won that if it went a tad further :D The dinner was always bound to be painful, not just for Bill, but for Tom too. And the part where Tom admitted he was in love with Bill - he's ALWAYS been in love with Bill and he's ALWAYS known it too. In fact, I'd even go as far as saying that he's been in love with Bill for a longer time period than Bill has with him? SHOCKER, RIGHT? I always look forward to your reviews, they're simply beautiful and such a boost. And thank you so much, it means a lot. < 3 xxxxx

Thanks for the update-love this story so much!
Best wishes to your mom.

Author's Response: You don't need to thank me for updating this and I'm really glad you're enjoying this story so far < 3 Thank you for your well wishes to my mom, thank you so much for reading and reviewing too, it means so much < 3 xxxxx
