A/N: This is an important note, so please spend a little bit of your precious time to read this. If you don't want to read my boring author note, skip to the second and third part because those parts are relevant to the story.

…

Okay.

So, here goes nothing.

-takes a deep breath-

Hi guys.

I'm pretty sure that you guys can already sense the solemn mood as I'm typing this. Oh, and how I've not updated for about a week now, which is very unlike me because I'm a pretty frequent updater. Uh huh, I think you know where this is leading, so. . . To further dramatize this whole thing, let me go a step further to suggest a little background music. . .

|NOW PLAYING|

Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On

A bit too dramatic? Maybe.

Anyway, if you haven't figured what this is about yet, I'm about to lay it on you right now.

I'm taking a short (hopefully) break from writing.

You might ask me why, and I'm sorry, but I can't give you a direct answer. For one thing, the heavens are unleashing on me torrents of laziness that is keeping me bound to my bed for long, extended periods of time as I mull over why my life has went down the drain.

. . .

I kid, I kid. (Hah, props to the person who has gotten me to start using this! You know who you are, if you're reading this :P)

But the laziness part is true, and it's getting hard as hell for me to move my ass onto the bed, settle down for an hour or two and type out a chapter. It's partially because my free time is drastically lessened with my school starting (For fellow Singaporeans, Poly!) and what with me juggling between studies and socializing. And a fair warning: this is just the beginning of my school term, which means that if I find it hard to update now, my school life is only going to get more hectic and I'm going to be even more hard-pressed to type out my stories.

Another factor is my reluctance to get on my laptop now. It's not a matter of motivation, I think I'm just losing interest in writing as a whole. When I started writing my stories, I was really enthusiastic about it, but over time, it has faded away. Now it's becoming a bit of a chore, and I'm hoping that staying away from writing for a bit is going to restore that urge to write again.

Lastly, this is going to sound really dumb and stupid, but a bit chunk of my time is currently being spent on chatting online with friends. By friends, I mean girls. By chatting, I mean flirting. So. . . I don't have to go on, do I? And if I do get into a relationship again, even more time is going to be eaten up and. . .

Yeah.

I'm going to make a promise to you guys, though, and that is that I'll try to squeeze in as much time as possible every day to write a few paragraphs. Tens of words to a couple of hundreds, and it'll accumulate over time and if I keep it up, I might be able to update a chapter of an acceptable length once every week!

It might range from a week to a month, though, so don't hold your breath :/

That's about all I'm going to say about my current situation, so I hope you guys understand. I'll take an initial break of two weeks first, then I'll slowly, painfully push out updates. When my break comes, I'll up my game and start updating faster.

And that's it.

Moving on to a more lively topic. . .

I think that it's safe to say that you guys have read the C&L scene in the previous chapter. Do me a favor now by envisioning it, by reading through it again and imagining how it plays out. From the tender touches to the emotional laden words, to the blazing eye contact to the kiss goodbye.

Now, while you're doing so, listen to this song.

Lady Antebellum – Just A Kiss

I suggest that you do this at night, in the dark, and I swear you'll have goosebumps. Does it not describe their coupling perfectly? I was listening to that song one night on the bus, and the lyrics struck me as perfect for Christian and Lissa. I never truly understood what the lyrics meant before, but now I do.

And it's beautiful.

I think it captures the essence of their building relationship, their struggles to stay together. Sure, I know that it seems a bit too early for all that, but I promise you, you'll see what I mean in the next few chapters as they stumble upon another obstacle that's going to cause some. . . undesirable things to happen between them. I'm not going to spoil you guys, but I have a pretty good idea already on what I'm going to write about.

Let's just say that their official lemon is not going to be anytime soon.

I'm going to end off this chapter with a lighter note, and it's going to be the estimated length of The Sweetest Series. (Yes, I'm going to change the name of this story again. You'll see why in a moment)

I can confidently say that the story is going over 150k words. I'm not sure whether it can hit the 200k mark because the lemons that are quite long are not uploaded to this story, but it's pretty possible because I haven't even started on Viktoria and Eddie, which, for the record, is going to be a chaotic couple with fights and clashing personalities from two people that are basically polar opposites. We'll just have to see how they overcome their differences to find true love, won't we? :)

Now, for the most important part.

Why is this story called The Sweetest Series now?

Simple. I've decided to give a title to each couple, and it is as follows.

The Sweetest Surrender - Dimitri and Rose.

Dimitri refuses to yield to Rose's sensual and infuriating teasing, but when he finally succumbs to temptation, he discovers that it's the sweetest surrender ever. . .

The Sweetest Sentiment - Christian and Lissa.

A playboy. A very breakable girl. When sparks fly between them, Christian finds himself wishing for something he never thought possible with Lissa. But even as they begin a slow, passionate dance in the hottest of flames, will they be able to overcome the many obstacles in their path to a future brighter than even the sun? Or will they both find themselves burned and irrevocably scarred. . .

The Sweetest Seduction - Adrian and Sydney

Emotionless. That's what Sydney was supposed to be, until the handsome stranger saunters into her life and turns it upside down. In mere weeks, she's battling for her sanity, her life, and something new and foreign to her - desire so overwhelming that it leaves her breathless and tingling. Adrian's wicked touch and sensual caresses fills up the empty void inside of Sydney, and she's left wanting more. But tangling with Adrian was dangerous, and Sydney soon finds out that her impending insanity is not the only thing she has to worry about. . .

The Sweetest Symphony - Eddie and Viktoria

Eddie never managed to forget Viktoria, his high school crush. He had left her in a rush to pursue a career in the music industry, and now, armed with bundles of cash and fans from all around the world, he's back to woo her, to pull her back into his arms. But nobody ever said that love was easy, and Eddie was about to understand exactly why that is so. . . in the hardest way possible.

That's it! All four couples with their own titles. What do you think?

Okay, I'm going to go to sleep now because I still have school tomorrow. Goodnight guys, and once again, I'm sorry.
