For You To Keep (Jay's and Liz's story will be continued) Hot

You will

You said You'll wait for me.
When I need time, You'll give it to me.
When I need space, You'll let me have it.
When our time together runs out,
You'll make more.

You said You'll remind me, when I forget us.
When I loose faith in us, You'll be reason to go on.
When all the magic is gone, You'll bring a spark back to life.
When I feel insecure, You'll make me feel
a worth of love.

You said You'll be my comfort.
When I need secure, You'll be my guard.
When I fall into desperation, You'll come to rescue me.
When I drown myself into tears, You'll dive in
saving me.

You said You'll make life for us.
When I build walls around me, You'll find your way in.
When I get drifted, You'll be my beacon.
When I loose myself, You'll be my home.

You said You'll be a beat of my heart.
When I stop searching, You'll be the person I want.
When I am ready, You'll be right here.

You said You'll never need no one else.
I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
You'll be the beginning
and the end.


Two months to the wedding

Liz

-Look at yourself! My baby girl is getting married, my mother sighs.
Em looks at me and we roll our eyes. We're in the bridal shop. And I have tried thousands of dresses and with every dress my mom says the same.
Who would have thought that me and Jay end up together and getting married. But we beat the odds and here I am one year later.
-I think the dress before this was the one, I say while looking at myself in the mirror. -I would like to try it again. This is actually pretty fun. We have drunk about one bottle of champagne eat cakes. If I keep eating like this I won't wear any of these dresses. I put my favorite dress again and I know this is the dress I wanna wear in my big day. It is a strapless ivory dress with a trail. Top of the dress is corset like with small pearls. I know that dress is a bit over my budged but my mom would too anything so her daughter get a wedding for her dream. Something good for being only girl in the family. I pay the dress with my credit card. Weddings can be expensive so I try to do as much as I can myself .Besides I don't have money to hire a wedding planner, oh well, maybe Jay's parents would have but I'm not gonna ask them. We already have our wedding at their lake house. Which was actually a good idea. We don't have to rent a place to have a wedding cuz' everything will happen there. The place is huge and we are having a small intimate wedding.

I drive home, well, our home. I moved to Jay's after six months dating. I know it is fast but I spent most of my time anyway. And all have been so easy with him and moving together wasn't so big a deal for us. I drive my car in the garage and get my dress from the back seat. Jay is still at work.
I put my dress in to guest room closet. I'm not superstitious but I wanna wear that dress when he sees it at the first time. I go back to downstairs and change something comfortable. I microwave my dinner. I feel myself a bad girlfriend cuz' I don't cook as much I should be. Well, I assume that other women will make candlelight dinners everyday for their husbands. But for my defense Jay stays late at work so where's the point for cooking. I go to the living room and sit back on the couch. I start surfing through the canals and as usually there's nothing worth to watch.

Jay

I park my car in the garage and go inside. Another long day at work. I'm glad that my dad hired a new employer. She starts tomorrow and I hope I can halve my workload with her.
I find Liz on the living room couch. On the table lies an empty plate and TV is on. She has fell asleep. I turn TV off and take plate to kitchen. I don't know what was I expecting when she moved here, well, maybe more sex, but we barely see each other these days. I'm doing super long hours at work and she has own business too and then wedding preparations. I offer my help but she said she will manage to do it herself. And honestly I was little relieved cuz' I wouldn't know what to do.

I go back to living room and wake up Liz. I stroke her hair. -Sorry, that I was late, ones again, I say. She blinks her eyes open. -Oh was I sleeping, she mumbles. -Nah, that's not a big deal, only promise to show up in our wedding, she adds with smile. -That I can promise, I say and kiss her.

I take a shower and go to bedroom and find her on the bed.
-So how tired you are? she asks and winks. -If you are talking about what I hope you are talking then I am not tired at all, I grin. -Come here then, she says with a smile. And I obey.

Liz

I lie in his arms and run my fingers on his body. -Have I ever told you how good you are in bed, I say with smile. -A good, that's all I got, Jay says pretending to be upset. -Fine, best that I have ever had, I laugh and slap his chest. -Was it better.
-Much better, he grins. Jay lifts my chin and kisses me on my lips. -And have I ever told you how awesome it is to go bed with you and wake up next to you, he says between kisses. He moves top of me traces kisses along my jaw line, down to my neck and my breasts. I slide my fingers through his hair. He keeps going down to south and I spread my legs and make sure he knows what I want, like I have to tell this man anything, Jay is my best one-night stand, lover and my soon-to-be husband.


Six weeks to the wedding

Liz

I rush on the pavement towards the gift shop. I promised Em to be back in thirty minutes. I have started to use my lunch breaks to get done all wedding preparation. And then I see them.
Jay is in the coffeehouse with some blonde. And does that woman forgot to put something to cover her ass, that's skirt is way too short. The woman has crossed her long legs and lean closer to Jay who sits next to woman. Blonde wave her long hair over her shoulder, it's like fucking shampoo commercial, gimme a break! I can't do anything but staring at them. Who is this woman and why she is having coffee with Jay!?! The blonde laughs and slaps her hand on Jay's shoulder. Okay, I don't mind if Jay has also female friends but there's a line between friendship and lover and that woman is so over that line.
I go inside the coffeehouse and order coffee. I keep glancing over Jay's table. I finally get my coffee to go and walk towards to this odd couple.
-Hey Jay, I say and smile so wide that my skin start hurt.
-Oh, hey Liz, Jay says and smiles back. -This is Samantha, he introduces the blonde. -And Liz is my girlfriend, Jay tells to the blonde.
-Well, we are getting married, I say quickly. -So, Samantha what brings you here? I ask.
-Well, Jay's father hired me...Is it a week ago, she says and glances Jay. She smiles her a thousand-watt smile. Is this woman his new co-worker. -Well, we should go back to the work so we won't give them any wrong idea, she says with a smile.
-You're right we have a lot to do, Jay says and stands up. -See you at home, he says and give me quick kiss.
I watch how they leave from the coffeehouse. I stand there with my coffee and feeling totally numb.

Liz

Okay, this is crazy but I have to go to Jay's work place. It's not that I don't trust him, well, okay maybe some doubts but I definitely don't trust that leggy blonde.
She is beautiful and half of the man population drools over her, if their have eyes on their head. I try to not draw attention to me, this is embarrassing enough and if Jay knew that I am here, well, it won't be a nice conversation. I open the entrance door and step inside. Okay no backing down. -Well, hey Ms Brown, man in the reception welcomes me. I have been here a few times before so he knows me, I just can't remember his name. -Coming to see Jay, he adds with a smile. -Let me tell him that you are here, he continues.
-Oh no, no need to, I mumble. -I wanna surprise him, I say and give him my best smile. I take the elevator to the third floor. Thank God hallway seems to empty, so the coast is clear. I walk towards Jay's office. I walk tiptoe and hold my breath, I would be the worst spy in the universe. The door is slightly open and I can hear Jay's voice. I stay quiet and wait will I hear woman's voice too, and the I hear it. I move little closer and decide to take a sneak peak. I see Jay on his desk and the men' s wet dream is leaning towards him. Does she even wear the bra?! I can see inside her blouse. Women don't walk around without bra not in the office and not especially with Jay unless they wanna get attention. I back up a bit and still hold my breath. I rush to the elevator and take a good deep breathe. Com' on doors, I wanna get out of here.
I run through the entrance. -Did you meet him, man in the reception asks. -Oh, well, he was, hmm, detained, I say and keep going on.
Okay, I don't like this.

Liz

I drive back to the gift shop. I told Em that I have some wedding errands so I have to go for a few minutes. I couldn't tell her that I am about spy Jay, although, Em would have totally be on board. But that is something I am not proud of myself. I am not jealous type of person and now I act like one. I open the door and see how Em is busy with customers. I go straight to the back room and lock myself in to bathroom.
-Liz, is everything okay, Em says and knocks the door. I wash my hands and pretend I was actually doing there something. I open the door and put a smile in my face. -Yeah, everything is perfect, I say and keep smiling. Fuck this smiling hurts how models do this. I walk to the store and start arrange shelves, even though they don't need it. Em comes next to me. -Liz, I already did that. What's the problem and don't even try to pretend, I know you too well, she adds.
-Em, I have done something really stupid, I confess.
Her eyes spark. -Ooh, what is it, she seems to be really exiting.
-Well, I kind of went Jay's office and just...aah..it's stupid, I was stupid.
-What means “you kind of went”. Are you spying Jay? She asks.
-Oh fine! I spying on him, I say. -Happy now?!
-Do you think he is cheating on you? Em asks curiously.
-Well, it has cross my mind, I admit. -But he was a playboy after all.
-So is he? She asks.
-I don't know, Em, I say. -I mean I trust Jay, I do, but you should she that woman. She is just gorgeous, I tell.
-Liz, even the woman is beautiful it doesn't mean she is after Jay, Em says but not so convincingly.
-Em, she doesn't wear bra! And you should have seen her low-necked blouse, I say with despair.
-Wow, Liz. Do you know where she lives? She asks and grins.
-Em no, no one isn't going to spy anyone, okay, promise, I say and look straight in her eyes.
-Com' on let me have my fun. You already did your part, she says.
-Promise me, Em.
-Fine, I won't go spy on her.

Liz

I keep looking at the clock. I'm waiting Jay from work. I decided to take the bull by the horns and ask about that woman his work with. I hear how garage door open and close. I wait until he is in the house. I sit on the armchair and take the closest magazine off the table so I won't look like I have waiting for him.
-Hey Liz, Jay says. -What a day, lucky to be home, he adds and comes next to me and kisses my hair.
-Hey, same here. Quite busy day, I say.
-What were you reading? he asks softly.
-Oh nothing much, I say and glance the page which I randomly opened. There is an article about gender reassignment surgery. What kind of magazine is this.
-Anything you wanna tell me before I marry you, he says with smile when he sees the article. -And by the way, you hold that wrong way, he adds
-Oh well, I wasn't actually reading it, just pictures..I mumble and close the magazine. Okay now or never.
-So, talking about genders. How's the new woman settled in the office? I ask and try to keep my voice calm.
-Pretty well, I would say, Jay says. -Liz, are you okay?
Pretty well, fucking pretty well, what that supposed to mean. I don't know should I tell him that I have spy on him a little.
-Well, now you asked, then no, I'm not okay, I say and stand up. -You're always late at the work and now you have there a new co-worker, beautiful woman, I say.
-Liz, how does her appearance related to this?
-Well, if someone fifty years old woman would running around in your office without bra wearing low-necked blouse then do you think that I have to worried anything, I say and can't hide anger in my voice.
-Listen to yourself, you sound paranoid, Jay says. -And how do you know what she's look like, he adds.
I keep my look on the floor. Oh fuck, what I should say now.
-Liz, have you done something, he asks with calm.
-Okay, don't get mad but I saw her and I saw you in your office and...and, I mumble
-Fuck Liz. Do you spy on me? He asks.
-No, no I didn't mean to spy but that's not the point of this, I yell.
-Then what is it, Jay asks.
-Do you like her, I ask quietly.
-Liz, I have to get along with her cuz' we're working together, Jay says.
-What about she, does she knows you are just a co-workers?- You too looked awfully close, I add.
-You seriously accuse me for cheating, Jay says. -It is always nice to know how much my becoming wife trust me, Jay says sarcastic.
-It's not that I don't trust you, I say. -Just for knowing your past...
-How many times you are planning to throw my past in my face? -I have to go, Jason is waiting, Jay says.
-Where are you going, I ask.
-You should know that cuz' you are the spy here, he says and slam the front door behind him.
That went well, just perfect. I thought I set things straight with Jay but it just got worse.


Four weeks to the wedding

Liz

I drive back home from work and then I see black BMW on our driveway. You gotta fucking kidding me. The blonde is in our home. Is it not enough that they see each other at the office but here too. I open the front door and put sweet smile on my face. It is so fake and corners of my mouth start twitching. -Hey, honey, I say to Jay and kiss him. And make sure that the skunk will see it. Jay looks at me a little bit confused. Well, we don't usually behave like this. Honestly I hate all kind of honeyed talks and Jay is pretty much the same. -I hope I didn't interrupt anything, I continues my sweet wife act. -Well, actually Liz we have to finish this so if you...Jay says. -No, that is quite alright. We can finish this tomorrow, the blonde says before Jay finish his sentence -Why don't we meet tomorrow morning? The blonde asks from Jay. -Okay, sounds good. Is eight okay for you, Jay asks. She smiles and Jay lead her to the door. I know that I have made ass of myself and waiting for door to close.
-What is wrong with you? Jay asks. -You saw that we were working, he adds. Okay here it comes, the speech. -You haven't brought your co-workers to home before, but obviously she is special case, I answer and try to save myself from falling into hole which I dug myself.
-Liz you know that we are trying to get more clients and Samantha has really good contacts. She is one of the best in this business, Jay says. -That's the reason why my father hired her, he adds. -Fine, I say and walk away. I don't care how top of everything she is, all I know that she is hitting my soon-to-be husband.

Liz

Jay has already left when I wake up. Great, he spend his morning with miss Leggy. Well, guess I can blame myself cuz' my little act yesterday evening. I get dressed and drag myself to kitchen. I open and close cabins door and try to find something to eat. It's not that we don't have any, it's just that lately I have lost my appetite. I look tired and feel myself tired but I'm not gonna go beg money from Carney. I told everyone that I'm gonna do this myself and get weddings I like. My phone piips and I see that my mom texted me. Oh crab, I totally forgot that I have to meet her. Even I do most of the things myself, my mom has been a huge help for me. Today we supposed to go to florist's and choose wedding flowers. I text quickly back and run towards garage.
I finally manage to find a free parking place on the street. I am fifteen minutes late, perfect.
I open the door and storm in. -I am so sorry, that I am late, I apologize.
-No worries, Ms Brown. -We have already talked some of the options with your mother, florist says.
-Oh that's good, I say with relief. I go closer and let her show me the flowers.
Half an hour later I sit at the coffee house with my mom.
-You look awful, dear, my mom says.
-Thanks mom. Apparently I don't glow like woman in love should be, I say. My mom takes a good look at me.
-I didn't mean that. Is everything okay between you and Jay? She asks with worry.
-Everything is perfect, really. It just that we are really busy right now. It will be easier after wedding, I say and squeeze her hand and make sure she will believe my words even I'm not sure myself. Everyone keeps asking that same question and every time I keep pretending.


Two weeks to the wedding

Liz

I stand on the street and gasp a breath, I feel nauseous and press my forehead on the building wall. I had a doctor's appointment and it wasn't nothing I expected. This can't be happening to me, not now when everything is mess. The worst timing in history. Turn out that I'm pregnant. I feel how my sight start blur and looks like a pavement is coming to say hello. I feel how some one grabs my arm before I hit the ground. For all the people in the world it has to be her. This might be a dream, oh well, more like fucking nightmare.

-Are you okay, Samantha asks.
-Yeah, never better, I say.
-You doesn't look too good, she says.
First of all when she has become a fucking doctor and second this is not her problem.
-My sister had same thing when she was pregnant with her first child, she says like knows what she is talking about.
-Oh no, this is just a stress. You know wedding and all, I say and lean on the wall.
-I didn't know you two were expecting a baby. Jay hasn't mentioned anything, she keeps blabbering. I glower at her. Can't she just mind her own damn business.
-You haven't told him, she says with realizing the fact. -Don't you think he has right to know...-Unless.. Is it a unwanted baby, she adds.
-Thanks for you concern but I think we can deal with this without you meddling in it, I say bitterly.
-I just trying to help, she says with offended. Damn straight you weren't, that sounds more like she was guilt tripping me. She glance me once and then finally leave me there. I see that woman more often than I want.
That night I can't sleep. I keep tossing and turning on the bed. My thoughts keep me awake. How can I be two months pregnant without knowing. Sure, I have felt dizzy a few weeks from now and first I thought it was stress but then I couldn't ignore any more so I went to doctor.
When most of couples are happy with baby news I was there alone and start crying. Well, I would have taken Jay with me if I would have known that I was pregnant and if we have planned to have a baby. We haven't even talk about having kids. I don't know how to bring these kind of news to Jay. And what if he doesn't even wanna have one.
I glance at Jay who sleeps next to me. Even in his sleep he looks like he is trying to solve a complex mathematical equation. How peacefully is that.
I would so like to blame miss Leggy for all of our quarrels what we have but if one woman could manage to tear us apart how strong our relationship is after all.


One week to the wedding

Liz

We eat in oppressing silent. Lately this is what we have, if we don't fight we are quiet. I glance at Jay. I know that I could easily break the silence between us just dropping the big bomb. But I don't think is wise to bring a innocent baby middle of this. I keep pushing cereals in my bowl. I have lost a weight since I've been pregnant. Even the doctor said that every woman will experience pregnancy in a different way it is not nice to find your head in the toilet every morning. Why can't I have a slice of that so called glow. Jay stand up and put his dishes in the sink.
-You know it's not too late to call off the wedding, I blurt. It has been running in my mind so I might as well spit it out.
-What?! Why would I like to do that, Jay asks and turns to face me.
-Tell me something, are you happy, is this what you wanted, I say. -Because I am not happy and honestly I thought it wouldn't be anything like this, I say and flail my hands of the air.
-Fine, if that's what you want so be it, Jay says quietly. -I have to go to work.

I take a deep breath and try to calm myself. The truth is that I am totally panicking, all those words I said...Oh my God, am I really the one who's giving up. I blink my eyes. I'm not gonna start crying and mess my make up I have be at work. I grab my car keys from the table and start my car.
About ten minutes later I have to stop the car on the side of the street cuz' I can't see anything. My eyes are full of tears. I put my arms around me and cry out loud.

Jay

I am at the office as always these days. I know I have been away from home a lot and it starts to show. Liz is almost all the time a bit edgy. I know we had a couple of squabbles in the beginning but then everything went better. I couldn't be more happy when Liz moved in. It is awesome to know that the woman whom you are love with sleeps next to you. Whole day I've been pain in the ass cuz' we had the worst fight ever. I can't believe that we have reach the point when it's time to call off wedding. I know she's right though, this isn't as it should be but it is just a downer to hear from your becoming wife's mouth that she's not happy with you. I don't know is this end of us but if it is how can I let her go when I still are in love with her. Fuck I hate the life right now.

I hear knocking on the door and Samantha comes inside. She is a looker and sure if I were the same guy who I was over year ago I would have make a move. But not anymore. Liz has changed me in so many ways and I think I am better man these days.
-Hey Jay, can I come in, she asks with a smile.
-Sure, go ahead, I answer.
-I have here some papers for tomorrow's presentation and I thought maybe we should go through together, she says.
-Okay, I say and rub my temples. I'm tired and my head is aching.
-Are you sure? You look like you would need a strong pain killer and a good sleep, she says and comes closer.
-I'm good but thanks, I say.
We spend hours to go through papers. I stretch my tense shoulders. -If you want I can massage, Samantha asks suddenly. -I mean I know some trick to ease tense shoulders, I work in the office too, she adds quickly and smiles.
-That's very kind of you but I think I'm okay, I say.
-Yeah, I can not imagine how stressful you might have at home in these days, she says and looks worries. -I mean planning own weddings must be hard and especially Liz's condition, she adds.
-Well, actually Liz has take care of everything. My job is to show up, I say and smile. Then her words hit me. -What condition? I ask. Is Liz sick? I have noticed that she is tired but so am I.
-Oh I'm sorry. I thought she must have told you, she says.
-Told what? Samantha what are you talking about, I ask.
-She's pregnant, she says and looks at me.
I try get my thoughts together, Liz is pregnant...Why she didn't tell me.
-I thought she has told you. You are getting married so I assume she won't keep this kind of news in secret, she says and put her hand in mine. I am speechless.
-Can I ask you something personal? she asks.
-Hmmph..I pull my hand away.
-Okay this is a bit intrusive but are you getting married because she is pregnant?
-What no, no. Listen I have to go. See you tomorrow, I say and rush out from the office.

Jay

I park my car on the driveway and stride to the door. I find Liz in the kitchen. -Hey, I say.
-Oh hey, she says and turns to me. -I didn't wait you to come home this early, she adds. And I can hear bitterness in her voice.
-Well, we need to talk, I blurt. -Actually you need to speak and I would listen, I add. She bites her lower lip between teeth and looks worried. She sits at the table and I sit opposite from her.
-So I can assume that you know about my pregnancy, she said calmly. I nod. -Why didn't you tell about it, Liz? I ask.
-I'm sorry but I didn't know how to tell it to you.
-So, you can talk about it everyone else under the sun except not with me, I say.
-No, I haven't tell this anyone, she says quickly.
-Well, obviously you told Samantha. I thought you hated her?
-Technically I didn't tell her, she just guessed, she says. -We pumped each other on the street a few days ago. -And I hate her, she grins.
-So what do you think about it, she asks and looks straight at me.
-Well, I don't know yet, I say. -Honestly, I haven't thought about having kids, but I didn't see myself as a husband either, I add. -But with you Liz, everything changed, I say softly and take her hand in mine.
-Jay, listen, I don't want you to get marry my because of the baby, she says.
-Liz, you are the reason why I am going to get married at all, I say.
-So were are keeping it? she asks.
-Yeah, we are, I answer and go to her. I take her in my arms and hold tight.
-And wedding is on, she whispers.
-It's on, I say and stroke her hair.

Jay

I can't believe that I'm gonna be a dad in April, less than eight months and we would be three instead of two. We lie in the bed. I hold Liz in my arms and stroke her hair. -This might be the first time in days or weeks when we go bed together and without fighting before, I whisper.
-Yeah, it feels long time, she says and presses lips on my neck. -Jay, I'm sorry that I've been totally asshole lately, she adds. -I don't know can I blame hormones or stress, but I just wanna you to know that I'm sorry and I love you, she says softly.
-Well, I'm sorry too, I say and turn my head so I can kiss her. -So does the doctor say anything about having sex during pregnancy, I ask with smile. -We have had sex during pregnancy so I think it is quite alright at this point, she says with laugh. I move top of her and keep kissing her lips, chin and cheeks. I'm so happy that we got it all right. There's no way that I would live without her.


The Wedding day

Jay

I stand on the shore and watch over the lake. Fall in here is sure beautiful. I hear the chatter on the distance. Guests have arrived and took their seats. I feel actually pretty calm.
-Planning to scram? Jason asks.
-You came here to make sure that I won't run away, I say with a smile. -That's something you don't have to worry.
-Do you have the ring? I ask. Jason pat his chest pocket. -So, this is it, he says.
-You make it sounds like this it would be end of everything, I say. -On the contrary, this will be the beginning for something new, I add and smile.
-Okay, okay. We should go back, it's about to start, Jason says and we start walking back to house.
I go standing other end of aisle and Jason comes next to me. Then music starts and Liz walks towards me. She glows and looks so damn beautiful and soon that amazing woman will be mine. She comes next to me and I take her hand in mine. The priest start his speech. Half of his words go past through my ears.
-Jay, it's your turn now, Liz whispers softly and smile. I turn to her so I can me face to face with her. I keep holding on her hands. I look straight to her brown eyes.

Jay

In your eyes, I have found my home.
In your heart, I have found my love.
In your soul, I have found my mate.
With you, I am, whole, full, alive.
You make me laugh. You let me cry.
You are my breath. My every heartbeat.

I am yours.
You are mine.
Of this we are certain.
You are lodged in my heart.
The small key is lost.
You must stay there forever.

Liz

You are my inspiration and my soul's fire.
You are the magic of my days.
You help me laugh, you tech me love.
You provide a safe place for me, unlike I've ever known.
You free to me to sing my own song.
You are more of an amazement to me, each day I rediscover you.
You are my greatest boon.

I am yours.
You are mine.
Of this we are certain.
You are lodged in my heart.
The small key is lost.
You must stay there forever.

Jason gives me the ring. I look Liz's eyes and I slide it to her finger. Liz slide the ring to my finger. -I love you, Jay, she says with tears in her eyes. I pull her in my arms and give a long kiss. Even we have had rocky way to walk, we made it here. I don't scare what future holds, I know we will make it through as long as we have each other.

(Wedding vows: Frau Ava, circa 1160, translated by Willis Barnstone)



Epilogue

About ten months later, in June

Jay

He is amazing and I'm totally crazy about him. Liz has been a wonderful mother. I had doubts of my skills being a father but this little guy has been excellent teacher. Needless to say, that both our parents are ecstatic.
I hold him in my arms and watch how peacefully he sleeps.
-How's my two favorite guys, Liz asks and sits next to me.
-Not bad, I think I am naturally talented, I grin.
-Well, you don't have to tell me, she says and kisses me. I give the baby to Liz so she can feed him. -Any name suggestions, she asks. -What, doesn't the bundle of joy sound good enough, I wink.
-How can it be so hard to find perfect name for this little fella, she says softly and strokes our son's head.
-Nah, where's the rush. We can always let him decide his own name, I say with smile.

Moikka Alina!

Joo sen verran yhdyn tuohon aikaisempaan kommenttiin, että virheitä on kyllä jonkin verran. Tarina kuitenkin on hyvä ja tunteita herättävä!

Pidin ja paljon! Tunnetta, realistista kuvailua ja tunteilua.

Tietyissä kohdin olisin hieman enemmän toivonut pidempiä vuoropuheluja, kuten silloin, kun Liz kertoo, että häät pitäisi peruuttaa. Jayn kanta menee melko nopeasti ohi.
Eniten kritisoinkin tässä tunteiden ja ajatusten esiintuomista ja lyhyitä dialogeja. Esimerkiksi tieto raskaudesta ei johtanut pohdintoihin äidiksi tulemisesta tai abortista.

Koen kuitenkin, että kirjoitat hyvin!

Kiitos!

Kuten avittamistani korjauksista näkee, että ehkä sinun ei kannattaisi kirjoittaa tällä kielellä, ainakaan vielä. Valitettavasti en myöskään usko, että tarina olisi sen parempi suomeksi. Sinulla on muutamia virheitä seassa, jossa pyörrät sanojasi, mainitsin ne aiemmassa arvostelussani. Et vaikuta olevan ihan kokonaan itsekään varma mitä olet kirjoittanut aiemmin.

Toistelet paljon samoja lauseenloppuja, varsinkin johtolauseet (repliikin jälkeen) ovat kovin samanlaisia ja niihin alkaa kyllästyä nopeasti. Eli tekstisi kaipaa lisää vaihtelevuutta.

Juoni oli siinä mielessä hyvä, että siinä tapahtui koko ajan ja se vei eteenpäin. Pidin väliotsikoista, jotka kertoivat miten aika kului ja miten kauan päätapahtumaan vielä oli. Jayn omat osuudet olivat myös mukavia Lizin maailman ympärillä. Juoni ei antanut mitään uutta, tämä oli loppuun kulutettu joka romanttisen leffan ja kirjan tarina. Mukana oli todella paljon lähes humoristista mustasukkaisuutta, jota revittiin irti pienimmästäkin asiasta. Mutta ymmärrän kyllä, että vastarakastuneena kaikki tunteet ovat hyvin voimakkaita.

Valat häissä ovat hienoja, pidin niistä :)

Olet unohtanut kysymysmerkit tekstistä. Aina kysymysmerkki kysymyslauseen perään.
Arvostelen luettuani koko tekstin.

Kannattaa kirjoittaa sillä kielellä, millä tekstin saa synnytettyä. Englannissasi on tietysti pientä viilattavaa, vaikka se puhekieltä hakeekin, mutta minusta tuo oli teknisesti riittävällä tasolla tullakseen ymmärretyksi. Olisin kuitenkin kaivannut tähän enemmän juonenkehittelyä, nyt teksti vaikutti kovin kiireiseltä. Samaten kannattaisi ehkä etsiä myös pidempiä lauserakenteita, koska välillä kieli itsessään jäi vähän töksähteleväksi. Ajatus kuitenkin tuli läpi ja tarina oli kaunis, joten kannattaa jatkaa ehdottomasti - suosittelen kyllä myös vähän vanhempaa musiikkia taustakin, Julia London soisi tässä hyvin :-)

Rohkeaa kirjoittaa englanniksi, kiitos siitä.

kieltämättä tekstistä virheitä löytyy ja kielioppi kangertelee, vaikka en ole asiantuntija, mutta ne pompsahtelevat tasaisesti esiin. Tarina kuitenkin selviää, vaikka kaava onkin tuttu ja hieman kliseinen.

Oletko ajatellut kirjoittaa suomeksi tätä, miltä se sitten kuulostaisi, tulisiko tekstiin enemmän syvyyttä kenties ja joitakin juonenkäänteitä lisää, jotka pitäisivät mielenkiinnon yllä.

Mistä syystä ylipäätään tämä kirjoituskieli? Hyvää harjoitusta tietenkin saat tässä, ja kannustan myös opiskelemaan kieltä lisää :)
