joined in on their little talks about 'Love Hookups' and were eager to find out how everything had gone with Rachel's love life. "Let me just say that I'm so glad you're happy with him. It's nice to see you passionate about dating again after your record of disaster dates." Justine quirked an eyebrow at her friend. "By the way, what about the other two? Heard anything from them recently?"
                 
                  It had been about two months since Rachel had gone out with Robert for the first time. They had been on plenty of dates in the meantime and tried to chat as much as they could whenever their schedules were not too busy. It was nice that he was local and Rachel enjoyed going out with him to different places she'd normally only pass by on her way to work. They shared some of the same interests and he was always trying to get her to try new things, backing off if she was uncomfortable. They only had sex a few times, but the level of intimacy she shared with him was like nothing she had experienced with anyone else in her life. Robert was gentle with her, choosing subtle ways to show her that he cared. The girls in the office bring up the instance where he sent her a rose every day for a week so that she would have a full bouquet on her desk. They were starting to wilt now, but Rachel had planned on drying the flowers out so that she could still keep them on her desk.
                               
                  However, two things were keeping her from the bliss she was craving. Those things had names: Ronnie and Richard.
                 
                  Ronnie had tried chatting with her whenever she was online. She was always asking if Rachel wanted to go out for a drink at 'Silk' or just have dinner together and Rachel refused each time. She knew the woman was trying to find a way to lull her into falling for her. It took about a month before Ronnie seemed to realize that the object of her affection was not interested. Also, it could have been the fact that Rachel reported her to the site administrators because she was faking her identity and a bit crazy. That problem had been resolved and Rachel knew that she didn't have to worry about Ronnie trying to contact her again.
                 
                  Richard was a bit of a different story.
                 
                  He had just recently started contacting her, most likely after his plans with the other woman fell through. He messaged her almost ten times a day, asking if he could see her again or at least invite her to dinner. She responded with questions about who the girl was and why he had asked her to leave so suddenly.
                 
                  To Rachel's surprise, he explained everything to her; apparently, the woman was someone he had met online as well and they had been going out for quite some time. She had slowly started to pull away from him and he had thought that the relationship was over. It wasn't until the night he went out with Rachel that she wanted to talk. She called him early because she figured he would be up and waiting for her whenever she needed him. The woman had come to his apartment to ask what was wrong with him and they ended up arguing for the remainder of the early morning. He asked her to leave, but she claimed he'd be crawling back to her. He wanted to give it time before he contacted Rachel again, just in case his ex wanted to try and sabotage him.
                 
                  It was a valid excuse and far too detailed for Rachel to think it was made up. At least she knew Richard cared about her enough to stay away when his crazy ex was on the loose.

                  "Richard is fine girl and the sex was amazing. He made a mistake and he owned up to it, I respect him for that, at
