Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Freshly graduated from Cosmetology School, Bella takes a job in a health club beauty salon called Mystique. First days on the job can be so boring…until that perfect head of hair walks in! All drabble, All human

287. Chapter 287

Chapter 287

==8 BPOV 8==

I've shed more tears today than during our entire disunity.

Loving and losing a man as uniquely and thoroughly beautiful as Edward Cullen is exquisite heartbreak. Experiencing him anew? Nothing short of miraculous.

It's like the bottle says: Lather, rinse, repeat.

Two people meet, there's undeniable attraction; they work each other into a full-blown froth.

Lather.

Along comes the cold hose of reality. He's possessive, she's flirty; it's raw and gritty and eventually—explosive.

Rinse.

Hopefully wiser, they try again. With forgiveness, courage, commitment and trust, the two move forward together, determined not to waste this precious second chance.

Repeat.

You can only vote for one fic at a time, but apparently, it's okay to reload and vote again. Check out the list of great fics and vote for your favorites: twifanfictionrecs dot com slash 2012/09/01/vote-for-your-top-ten-completed-fics-august-2012/

A/N: *grabs Kleenex* First and foremost, I'd like to thank each of you for reading to the end and for taking these characters into your heart. With them, you laughed and cried, cheered and chastised, but above it all, you loved. Your ideas helped shape the story; in fact, I'd ended it with chapter 45 until the mighty outcry to continue screamed at me from your reviews! (Thank you for that, by the way). The "E", the sketchbook, the 'should they or shouldn't they?' of the shower scene...couldn't have done it without you.

Second, to my wonderful pre-readers and story collaborators- Trip, Jenjiveg and Alterite in the beginning, and Shell and Beans for the second "half"- thank you all for your honesty and your fantastic plot suggestions along the way. This angsty tale was a rocky ride in the writing and in the posting, but you gave me the confidence to tell it.

You know where to find me by now- I'll be posting Kinkily Ever After for another few years (just kidding, I hope)- and I may have another story or two left to tell.

If I haven't met you yet, please come and say hi and tell me what possessed you to read 287 chapters about a haircut!

Much love and appreciation for your support- XXX ~BOH
