Will looked in the mirror and combed his hair. He had went to Bendel's to get a new suit for his new lunch date. As he walked in for Grace's approval, he noticed Jack was there visiting Karen and annoying Grace.

"So Wilma, dating the big prof huh, " Karen said as she drank her breakfast.

"Yeah Will is in love with a guy who teaches hot college boys about life." snickered Jack.

"No Jack that 's what you would teach them. Jack 101 The Art of Coming Out ."Will said sarcastically.

"Oh leave it alone Poodle, I think it's a great Wilma's found love. Maybe now he won't be so boring." laughed Karen as she guzzled another martini.

Grace entered the door. She put her hands up to her temples. "Would you two please leave, I have work to do." Karen grabbed her purse and Jack and said, "Come on, it's time to buy Jackie a little happy."

Jack did his best Mae West impersonation, "And I need a little boy to make me happy." he laughed. Will ran over and immediately shut the door as the drunken duo left. Will struck his best model pose as he twirled around in his new Armani.

"Very nice, is this for college boy?" asked Grace.

"He is a little older than college boy, he is a professor." whined Will. "Will he like?" asked Will, continuing his little fashion show.

Grace was confused, "Will he like?" Will was growing impatient now. "Yeah Will he like the suit.?" Will said as he jumped up and down.

Karen popped her head back in the door, "Oh Wilma. Nice threads, Good will?" Will went over and slammed the door again, "Goodbye Cruella."

Grace went up to her dear friend and smiled, "Will honey I know you really like this guy and I really want it to work out for you. But something just bothers me about him and the last thing we both need with our collective dating records is one more in the lose column."

Will looked at Grace with a disturbed look, "And what makes you think that 's going to happen?" Grace put her hand on Will's shoulder and said, "Did you ever think this guy was maybe oh I don't know straight?" Will got very defensive and screamed, "He was at Barnes and Noble on a Friday and he was wearing Armani. I rest my case."

Grace threw her hands up in the air with resignation. "Ok, have fun and tell me everything." she said as she kissed her best friend in the world Will.

Will walked into the restaurant. Nervously he crept over to the maitre'd . He cleared his throat and muttered. "Truman, party of two."

The maitred snootily announced, "Yes," your other party has been waiting. Will cautiously looked into the dining room and saw Ross sitting there with the Times in his hand as he read it. When Ross saw Will, he motioned for him to come over. Will had a love sick smile on his face. He was seeing him for the first time in the daylight. He noticed the dark glow of his skin. Will wondered if that was natural or a tan.

Will pulled up a chair and sat down, "Sorry I was late Ross, but I had a judge that just wouldn't recess." He opened up his menu and noticed one more important fact on the left hand there was no ring. That meant he wasn't married."so what is good here for lunch.?" Will asked timidly. "The pasta is excellent." commented Ross. At that moment , the waiter arrived. "Would you like a beverage ?" he asked. Will watched Ross carefully. He would certainly like a drink , but didn't want Ross to think he was just another pretty boy bar hopper gay alcoholic. Ross put the menu down and said,"I think I will just have some cappucino, he turned to Will and whispered, "Can't have the four o clock class think the professor is a lush." Ross smiled and Will caught on to the joke, as lame as it was. "And you sir?" Will licked his lips nervously, "I guess I'll have a glass of white wine."

After the waiter left with their drink and lunch orders, Will looked over and attempted to make conversation. "So has it been a busy day for you as well?" "Actually other than this four o clock class, my day has been very slow. Will was bombing out in the conversation department big time. "Well Will, you learned quite a lot about me , but I don't know anything about you, except your friends and that you are a lawyer, so tell me about yourself." Ross said as he drank his water.

"Well I am from Connecticut and I went to Cornell for Law School. I live near the park in a beautiful apartrment." Will knew what the next question would be and he was really getting nervous, "And is there any special woman in your life?" Ross asked curiously. "Well yes there is, her name is Grace and she is my best friend in the whole world. She is funny and crazy and I couldn't think of being without her." Ross smiled "I know what you mean, I have a Grace, but her name is Rachel and she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She is also the mother of one of my children, Emma. My other child is Ben but he lives with his lesbian mothers." Will thought that meant that he just likes to be extremely friendly with women, another point in his favor. At that point, Ross' cell phone rang. "Hello, oh hi, what Emma is sick and you are taking her to the doctor. A fever? 100 oh god, sit tight and I will meet you at the doctors." Ross got up from the chair, "Will I am so sorry I gotta leave okay? My baby girl is sick so we are taking her to the doctor's." Ross took out his wallet and left a fifty on the table. "Lunch is on me ok? Hey my friend has tickets to a Knicks game would you like to come with us on Wednesday?" Will hated sports but he would make the sacrifice. "Sure sounds great. Ross, I'll see you and hope your baby is alright." Will said sincerely. Ross went out the door of the restaurant.
