- Author's Note: Hello Everyone! Thank you for reading this I really appreciate it. This the first fan fiction that I've ever written, so feel free to give me constructive criticism. The tile is from an Alice in Chains song called "Love Hate Love" which I was listening to while writing this story. Well let me you know what you think about my chapter (which I still need to name).

Rachel stared down at her work and sighed, it was a typical Monday morning and Rachel hadn't had her coffee yet. Suddenly she felt Harvey's hand on her shoulder, "Good morning sweetheart" he said.

"Hey" she replied back, "busy morning as usual, so how's the court case going?"

"You know same old same old, what time should I pick you?" Harvey asked.

"At 7" she replied as she read some of the papers on her desk.

"So, I guess I'll see you at lunch, you look really busy. "He said

"Yeah see you at lunch" Rachel couldn't help but feel that things were getting awkward between her and Harvey ever since he proposed and she didn't have answer for him. It felt like they were growing apart, Rachel deep down in her heart knew she didn't truly love Harvey, she cared about him deeply and she knew she would be happy with him but she wasn't in love with him. She decided the best thing to do was put it out of her mind and simply get back to her mountain of work.

When her lunch break came, Rachel went down to Harvey's office to meet her for lunch, but on his door she noticed a sticky note that read: Sorry Rachel I had some business to attend to so I won't be making lunch. Rachel turned back and went to cafeteria and bought a sandwich, which she ate at her desk in her office all alone. Finally it was time for her to leave the office and she proceeded home to get ready for her date with Harvey. At exactly 7 Harvey showed up at her door.

"Rachel ,you look wonderful tonight" Harvey said taking her hand in his.

"Thank you "she answered as she locked the door and headed towards his car.

"Harvey, thank you so much for everything. This place is beautiful!"

"You're welcome; it took me three weeks to get reservations at this place. "He said as he looked over the menu.

"Three weeks?" Rachel asked.

Suddenly Rachel noticed the Bruce Wayne headed her way with a woman as usual on his arm. "Oh brother " she thought.

"The famous Bruce Wayne. Rachel's told me everything about you." Harvey said smiling.

" I certainly hope not." Replied Bruce as he looked over at Rachel.

"Bruce, this is Harvey Dent." Rachel glared at Bruce, it was certainly no coincident or accident Bruce was here with one of his lovely trophies.

"Let's put a couple tables together." Bruce suggested.

"I don't know if they'll let us-"Harvey said clearly uncomfortable with the idea.

"They should! I own the place." Ignoring Harvey's obvious discomfort Bruce had two waiters put the tables together.

"For how long? About three weeks?" Rachel scowled at Bruce.

"How'd you know?" he smiled smugly.

"Natasha, aren't you...?" Rachel began.

"Prima ballerina for the Moscow Ballet." Bruce finished for her.

"Of course" Bruce took a sip of his drink and brought up politics. However after a few minutes of the hour long conversation it was clear who was interested in and who was being left out. Harvey and Natasha got along quit well, while Bruce occasionally added comments to their conversation while Rachel felt left out and pretended to eat. She shot Bruce an annoyed look for ruining her date with Harvey and bringing Natasha with him. Strangely enough Rachel didn't feel any jealously towards being left out just boredom, and the feeling of growing apart from Harvey further strengthened. When the night ended all Rachel really felt was the feeling that maybe she and Harvey just weren't right for each other after all and that she wouldn't be happy with him. Towards the end of their dinner Bruce came up with the idea that he should throw Harvey a fundraiser to celebrate his status as the white knight of Gotham. Rachel sighed, Bruce and his wonderful ideas she thought.

"Harvey I'm going to go get some fresh air I'll be right back" Rachel left the table in disgust.

Only a few moments later Bruce pretended he had a call from someone, "Sorry about that I'll be right back" Bruce said as he followed Rachel.

When they got outside, Rachel pulled Bruce to the side "Bruce, why couldn't you leave us alone for one evening?"

"I don't know what you mean?" Bruce replied smugly.

"You know what I mean, since you own the restaurant you must have known we were coming here after all Harvey made reservations a month ago." She snapped her eyes staring at him dangerously surveying if his eyes could betray any emotions.

"Rachel, Rachel and why would I do such a thing." Bruce smiled making Rachel furious.

"You know why! You just had to ruin this for me! You had to come prancing in with your precious ballerina Natasha and –"Rachel was interrupted when Bruce suddenly kissed her. Rachel broke away and slapped him across the face. "I'm in a relationship with Harvey! You need to respect our relationship and not think it's some sort of little game." Rachel went back inside leaving Bruce standing there all alone.

Rachel was fuming when she got back and the sight of Natasha and Harvey chatting away happily only made her feel worse. She got back to the table in a bad mood something Harvey and Natasha both noticed.

"Rachel what's wrong?" asked Harvey looking concerned "is something bothering you."

"No, everything is just perfect" Rachel snapped looking away.

Shortly after Bruce came back.

"So, Bruce, how was that phone calls of yours? Harvey asked looking slightly suspicious.

"It went fine you know the usual business." Bruce lied as he avoided Harvey's eyes.

Sensing that the situation was getting slightly awkward Rachel decided it was time to leave. "It's getting late, it was very nice to meet you Natasha and very nice to run into you Bruce. We really should do this more often but Harvey and I have to get going. "

As they said their goodbyes, Rachel dragged Harvey off before he decided to give Natasha his phone number.

"You seemed in a hurry to leave." Harvey said as they were driving away.

"Well it was our special night and I wanted it to be just us." Rachel pouted as she looked out the window.

"Don't worry I'll make sure that the ballet will be better than tonight ." Harvey said hoping to cheer her up.

"Yeah, maybe, well considering you decided to share that piece of information with Bruce I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up." Rachel said deeply annoyed.

The rest of the car ride home was awkwardly quiet and the only sound in the car was the soft jazz coming out of the radio.
