When You're Near Me

Great Story but a little long...

This story has everything I was looking for but 23 pages is a little long. This would have made an excellent series.

great story really...
romantic...
as Melissa Etheridge fan I saw some quotes from her songs :) but maybe it is just me...
good job! thanks alot :)

Best Story Ever

I absolutely loved this story and someone should make this into a movie.

Amazing

I must say this was the best...and longest story I've read on this site. Though it was long it was worth every page and every minute I spent reading. It made me laugh and smile and...just brought me overall joy. I absolutely loved it. My friend sent me this link saying I had to read it and I'm extremely happy she did. Excellent work. Fantastic job. Gosh..I could totally relate to Ashley and Jessi. I found myself in so many of these pages. Thank you for such a wonderful, heartfelt story.

WOW

I loved this story. These are the stories I want to read. To know that there is love and that it's not all about sex.

This story was amazing.. I'd give it 50 stars out of 5 if I could. C: this story had a little bit of sex, but lots and lots of buildup and character. I love reading stories like this.

am not even gay

Wow! but what a wonderful story...poignant and very heart warming.

amazing

This is my favorite story on the site. I love getting to really now the characters. The sex is good but it is more about the love!! Very great story!!

I think I can honestly say that out of everything I have ever read, erotic or not, this is the best.

Beautiful!!!

Can I be near you ?

AMAZING!

This story was so amazing...that I cried at the end... T-T GREAT JOB!!!

Amazing

It warms my heart to finally see a love story where they dont have sex right away and magically fall in love during sex. It is nice to see a story that captures what love truly is :)

Fantastic:-)

Have you ever thought about getting this publidpshed?.:-)

Amazing story

I would love to see this story made into a movie, such an amazing and heart warming story.

That is one of the best stories i have read on here yet it completely describes how love should be between two people Who really care about one another

Favorite story on here. I fell in love with Ashley and Jessie. Such amazing characters

changed my life.

This story changed my life. I was just like Jesse, closed my heart up tight for 10 years, vowing never to open it again. When I finished reading this story, I was in tears. I felt my heart open and all those feelings I locked away came rushing out. I now have a new look on life. I want to experience everything I have been hiding away from, and find my one true love. Thank you StormyNite.

Emotionally Unstable!

...that's what I am....after reading this series a few times,and each time it destroys me.I Love it. Thank You.

Oh. My. Gosh!

What an incredibly wonderful story! I've read hundreds of stories on Lit, and this is without a doubt one of the top three or four! You are a brilliant writer, and you really bring your characters and the social scene to life. I'm going to go and read all your stuff now -- you are so good at this!

(Also, to the Anonymous who'd like to see this made into a movie: while reading, I pictured Brandi Carlile as Ashley and Julia Stiles as Jessie. Somebody do a script treatment of this!)

Beautiful Masterpiece

This story is the best I have ever read on the internet.
it touched me in ways I didn't know exsisted you are a Amazing Author

Fantastic story

One of my favorites here on lit.

fantastic storyline

Enjoyed it. Felt real all the way through.

Absolutely Incredible

This story was wonderful and beautifully written! It moved me to tears and I can't stop re-reading it!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I love this story, its beautifully written and romantic n sad n sexy......

my favorite

This is by far my favorite story. I reread it year after year. You should really think about coming back to it and getting it published.

Fantastic

I love this story. I will be coming back to read over and over.

Amazing

This story was awesome. It was realistically timed, with a slow, sweet buildup to entice the reader. Only one thing, after the two protagonists confess their love for each other, things happen way too fast. Bam! Couple. Bam! Marriage. Bam! Children. You know what I mean?

Wonderful!

This was an amazing story. It is the best I have read ever!

love this

This is like the 6th time I've read this story I'm so in love with it!!!

i've forgotten
how may times i've read, reread this story. everytime i find it as new
as it was when i read it for the first time.
you amaze me! the pace, the quietness, the flawless built-up..everything
is just perfect, like it should be.
please, write some more!

Amazing!

I really really loved the story. How I wish I have that kind of love. I lost my first love because she had that same kind of fear about society's opinions.. Anyway, I'm gonna read this story again. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this! Please, continue to write. :)

Denton, Texas???

Well, shoot. Wonder if you're still here. :-)

Amazed

This story has the right combination. Being able to relate to this it brought back some of my memories with a partner I had. It simply touched me deep down to the core with old memories flashing. I was amazed.

Loved it

This is by far one of my favourite stories on Lit, in any genre. I absolutely loved it, all 23 pages. Fantastic slow build up where you get to know the characters so well, you feel every emotion with them. I really really hope you submit more, I'd love to read any new stories you write.

Now, if only I can find When you're near me by Jackie Bristow so I can hear what the full song sounds like... :)

WOW!

The sex, or lack of it, makes this story unique. It is a gradual, poignant love story, that captivates you throughout the 23 pages.The dialogue is excellent, the love between Jesse and Ashley refreshing and the ending simply beautiful. ** I LOVED IT **

The... End?

I read "End of Story" and nearly cried.

WOW.....

I've read the story and was mesmerized. I laughed and I cried through it all. The love scenes were magnetizing, I couldn't pull myself away from them. My only regret is that there were not really enough stars to select, I would have gone as far as a 10.

Thank you for sharing with us this wonderful story.

Amazing

All the storys on literotica are just we met and had sex a lot this was amazing because it showed them falling in love and i enjoyed it emmensly because i am a romantic at heart :)

loved it

at first i was upset when i read this story on my phone i couldnt believe they just ended it like that than i looked up the story on my laptop and i just fell in love with jessie and ashley im glad it wasnt all about sex i just loved it please keep it going

amazing

this was incredible. i loved this because im a sucker for a good romantic story, and the fact that it was just the two of them meeting and falling in love was so much better than any other story where they just got it on all the time. i love it so much

Really great!

Just spent the better part of a fantastic early spring day glued to the computer reading this story. Great day and worth every minute. Love how it did not go straight to sex, but it was a fantastic love story. Another romantic guy that thought this was one of the best stories I have read in a really long time. Great job!

BEST OF BEST .

Second time around

This the second time I have read this story. I loved this story the first time I read it, but now I find a true lack of words to describe how it has mede me feel. Thank you again for sharing this with us all.

BEAUTIFUL!

There's not really much else to say. Thank you.

Didn't Stop til the End

Honestly,,,, I read it straight through feeling each wave of emotion and each delicious sensual moment. NOW,,,, I need a cold shower !

All 23 pages in one sitting. It was too good to stop. Wow. That's powerful.

Loved the story. Stayed up to finish the whole story. Very well written and it draws you into the story where you can not look away.
