As promised here's the next chapter, this time on the right day! I hope you enjoy it :)

"So how was your weekend?" Julia asked as she handed me my coffee.

"Oh you know, it was pretty uneventful," I said, quickly taking a sip from the cup, and wincing when it burnt my tongue.

"Yeah that was just made, might want to wait a few minutes before you drink it," Julia told me before sitting down. "Now spill, your blushing so clearly there's something you're not telling me."

"I don't have to own up to you, there isn't anything I'm hiding," I insisted.

"You're so lying, but fine I'll drop it for now," she said standing up. "Oh, have you finished reading that manuscript I gave you?"

"Umm, not yet. I've started it, but then so much came up. It's good so far though so don't worry, I will finish it," I reassured her. She smiled before heading out of my office.

I was scrolling through my messages when my phone rang.

"Hey," I answered.

"Alec, so I was thinking you could come over to the studio tonight and we can take some more photos for your profile. I have everything here, and the lighting would be a lot better than if we did it at your place," Izzy rambled on.

"And when was it that I agreed to you taking more pictures of me?" I asked grabbing my coffee.

"Come on, you know you can't just have one photo, it makes you look sketchy. Now you want to get matched don't you?" I sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing with her anyway.

"Okay fine, I'll be there at six," I said.

"Yay, awesome. Don't worry you won't regret this!" She practically squealed. I knew that I would, a little bit. She just couldn't wait to model me out. It was going to be a nightmare, I could just picture it.

"You know you can smile, you look too depressed," Izzy complained, again.

"Well maybe that's because I am, we've been doing this for the past hour," I huffed, crossing my arms. The photographer quickly snapped a picture.

"That one looked pretty good," he said showing my sister. She nodded before strolling over to the rack of clothes she had set up.

"Maybe we should try the purple shirt," she mused.

"How about I take a look at the photos that have already been taken, I'm sure there are a lot that look good," I said walking over to the cameraman. I was right of course, there were at least ten that looked amazing. Izzy may be annoying, but she did know how to make someone look irresistible.

"Are you sure you don't want to take some more?" She asked, pouting a little.

"I'm sure, if it was up to you I'd have about thirty photos on my profile. And I think that sends the wrong message about me."

"Ugh, I guess you're right," she said, putting back the shirt. "Are you going to upload them tonight?"

"Yeah I figured, then we'll see in the morning if I get any matches."

"I hope so, I mean I know you will. And when you do you have to call, Maia and I need to see them before you agree to start talking to them. You know, so we can decided if they're good enough for you."

"Okay, I'll make sure," I promised, accepting the USB from the photographer. "Do you want to grab something to eat?"

"No I can't, Simon is picking me up and we're going out for dinner," Izzy said smiling.

"Well I hope you have fun," I said, quickly hugging her before grabbing my stuff. "I'll see you later."

The next morning I woke up to find ten emails all alerting me to different matches.

"Well Chase, I hate to admit it, but it turns out Izzy was right," I said looking down at him eating his breakfast. I turned back to my computer and scrolled through the names, I wanted to quickly visit their profiles but I promised Izzy I would call her first. Plus I had to get ready for work, and I knew it wouldn't be a quick peak.

Once Chase was off with Kelsey, and I was on my way to work I dialled Izzy's number.

"Hello?" She said, before swearing.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just almost tripped over Simon's stupid guitar, why he left it in the middle of the living room is beyond me," she mumbled. "Anyway, what's up?"

"I got ten matches this morning," I told her, bringing the phone away from my ear when she started squealing.

"Oh my god Alec, that's amazing! You have to call Maia, or I'll just do it, and we'll come over to your place tonight to look through them," she told me.

"Couldn't we just wait until the weekend?" I asked.

"No we can not, that's like three days away. We're coming over tonight, end of story," she said before hanging up. I sighed and made my way towards the elevator, and then into my office.

"What's up, you're looking awfully happy," Julia commented as I sat down at my desk.

"Do I?"

"Yeah you're all smiley," she said. "Does this have something to do with whatever happened this weekend that you won't tell me about?"

"Umm, no of course not. Maybe I just woke up on the right side of the bed this morning," I said taking my coffee from her.

"Oh my god, have you met someone?"

"What?!" I exclaimed, blushing.

"You so have, oh this is great Alec!"

"No, no I haven't met someone," I said trying to make her shut up before everyone heard. "If you must know, I signed up for an online dating site last weekend."

"Oh, really? I wouldn't have pegged you for the online sort."

"Trust me I'm not, but my friends and siblings desperately wanted me to, so I reluctantly gave in. Just got some matches this morning, guess that was why I was smiling."

"Well I think it's good, you work way too much. You need to have some fun," she told me before leaving. I hoped I got some fun out of this, it ended up being way more work than I thought it'd be.

"Okay, so who is the first person we'll be looking at today?" Maia asked moving the computer closer towards herself.

"How about Josh, he looked pretty attractive," I suggested.

"Were you looking at your matches at work?" Izzy accused.

"Well, umm maybe. Just briefly, I was curious to know what they looked like," I said defending myself.

"Anyway, lets see what he's all about," Maia continued. "He's an interior designer, very cool sounding. He's passionate about 'making people feel welcome, working on entrepreneurial projects on the side, and constantly learning about the world. I love writing, exploring a city on foot, and cooking a delicious, homemade meal. Having meaningful conversations while hosting people at my apartment is when I'm happiest. I prefer small groups at someone's home versus large crowds in public.'" Maia read out, pausing to take a breath at the end.

"Wow, he kind of sounds amazing. I say you should message him," Izzy told me.

"Really, but I haven't even looked at my other matches."

"Yeah I know, but you'll have plenty of time to do that. Just because you start talking to Josh doesn't mean you have to stay with him forever, just give it a shot," Izzy said motioning for me to start.

"Okay, okay I guess you're right," I said, clicking on the questions list. "What do you guys think I should ask?"

"Oh I know!" Maia piped in, an excited look covering her face. "How about, What's your favourite indoor activity, Dream getaway vacation, and What are your body type preferences."

"Really, you think those are the questions that I want to be my first impression?"

"Yes! Come on Alec, ask them. Or else if it was up to you, you'd be sitting here all night thinking of one's to pick," Izzy said, which I had to admit was true. I sighed and chose those ones from the list, closing my eyes as I sent them to him.

"Now I guess you just have to wait until he answers," Maia said, leaning back on the couch.

"Easy for you to say. Now I just get to sit in agony until he decides to respond, I hate this."

"Don't worry, he'll get back to you soon. At least you have us to keep you occupied until then," Izzy said leaning on my shoulder. I just rolled my eyes, he better get back to me before I went crazy.

"So Charlotte's book is in stores tomorrow, and she's doing the talk show in two days," I told Julia the next day.

"I know, I have everything written in your calendar. You don't need to worry so much, everything is running smoothly," she assured me. "Now on to more important things, has anything happened with any of your matches?"

"I might need to rethink your employment," I teased. "And I messaged one of my matches some questions last night, but I haven't had time to check my emails to see if he's replied today."

"Well I think you deserve a break, so I say hurry up and check. He's bound to have messaged you back," Julia insisted.

"Okay, okay I'll check. You can't be in here though." Julia huffed, but left my office anyway. I cringed and quickly logged onto my email, I felt the breath swoop out of me when I saw an email alerting me that Josh had indeed answered my questions. I quickly read through them, smiling when I saw that his favourite thing to do inside was cook, and that his dream vacation was Europe, clearly we had that in common. His body type preference was strong arms, and I mean even though I didn't have the strongest arms ever, I thought I was still alright. At the same time though I was panicking, what did I do now?

I took out my phone and sent a text to Izzy asking for her input. I was wondering what she even did in a day since she got back to me in less than five minutes.

"Answer the questions he sent you, or ask him the next set of questions!" Since Josh hadn't sent me a list of questions the only thing I could do was ask him what his Must Have's, and Have Not's were. I sent him three of my own as well, and now once again I had to wait for him to reply.

It wasn't until I was sat on my couch with a glass of wine that I finally decided to check my emails again. Chase was sitting at my feet, looking up at me as if to ask what I was so nervous about.

"You would be to boy if you were trying this," I said to him. He cocked his head to the side, before getting up in search of more food. Cleary I wasn't nearly as interesting to him right now. I took at large sip of my wine before logging into my email, and I couldn't help smiling when I saw a new one from Josh answering the questions.

For his Must Have's he wrote: Sense of Humour. I must have someone who is sharp and can enjoy the humorous side of life. Affectionate. I must have someone who is comfortable giving and receiving affection. And for his Have Not's he wrote: Lying. I can't stand someone who lies to anyone—especially to me. Undependable. I can't stand someone who fails to come through and is unreliable.

After I read over what he sent I realized that he also sent me the next set of questions. One's that he himself wrote to me. I inhaled and took another sip of my wine before I started looking at them. He wants to know if I'm doing what I love, and what I'm looking for in a relationship.

I leaned back on the couch and seriously debated calling either Maia or Izzy to help me answer them, but then I realized that would be silly. Sure they would obviously love to hear what we're writing each other, but I really did have to try this out for myself. If I couldn't even respond to a few simple questions how would I be able to communicate at all when we finally met up with each other? I made myself comfortable and got down to business, I was a writer, sort of, after all.

It still took me almost an hour until I was satisfied with what I said, detailing my job at my publishing company and how it was the best thing that had ever happened to me. Then going on about how I'm looking for someone that can push me to do things more, for someone to balance out my stressful persona. I stretched out and quickly added some of my own questions before sending it off.

Since I was already on the website I decided to look over the other matches I had, and realized that I actually got some new ones. Most of them were insanely attractive, and even if I didn't end up dating any of them, they were still contenders for a one-night stand.

"I am so excited for your release as well Charlotte," I said the next day as I sat down at my desk. "Stores are opening any minute now, and even I know that so many are on hold." I turned on my computer as I listened to her gush.

"Now you have that book signing at noon, and then another one at three right?" I asked. "No of course I didn't think you'd forget, it's my job to make sure everything is running smoothly." I told her, moving the new stack of manuscripts towards me.

"I just know this book is going to be just as big, if not bigger than your last one," I encouraged her. "Yes, you go get ready and we'll talk again." I said before hanging up.

"Was that Charlotte?" Julia asked sticking her head in my office.

"Yeah, how did you know?" I teased, rolling my eyes. "Though she always gets nervous on the day her books get released. I'm okay holding her hand since her books are so widely popular."

"So what are you looking at now that her book is done?" Julia asked eyeing the stack of new potential novels.

"Well I really enjoyed the new novel by up and comer Olivia called Delirium, it was pretty breathtaking, and it really transported me. But to be honest, I finished Need last night. It was amazing, and I really do think it's time to broaden our scope," I told her, smiling when her face lit up.

"Are you serious?!" She stammered. "This is amazing, I'm so glad you liked it."

"I really did, and like you said it was insanely hot. Erotica is extremely popular so I don't think we'd tank if I looked further into it," I said. "I'm going to read through it again, make some notes on it and then I'll decide fully."

"Well take your time, and let me know what you think," Julia said before heading out. I looked through the stack of manuscripts, posting sticky notes on the ones that I would look more into, before I couldn't delay any longer. I logged onto my email and smiled when there was an alert, Josh had messaged me back.

I had asked him what a movie about him would be called and he replied: It would be called 'I've never done that - Let's do that' and I would be played by Brad Pitt. I also asked him what he was looking for in a relationship and he said: They must have depth and a good heart, you don't get happiness from material possessions, but from someone's affection. I couldn't help but smile at that, damn he sounded too cute.

I was about to log off when I got another alert, Josh was wondering if I wanted to start emailing each other. I kind of felt like all the air had left the room. This would be us talking, there wouldn't be any helpful list of questions to ask. I quickly pushed myself away from the desk and took out my phone, I needed Izzy.

"Josh want's to start emailing," I blurted out the second she answered the phone.

"What?"

"I just got another message from Josh, he answered the questions I sent him last night, and now he wants to start emailing each other. Like real talking now."

"You are kind of too cute, you're just so nervous about this," Izzy said, and I could hear her smiling. "There is nothing to be worried about, you knew this was going to happen. You were also planning to meet up with him at some point I'm assuming, and that would have been real talking as well. You're ready for this, I have all the faith in you."

"You're right, this will be fine," I breathed. We hung up since she had to get back to work, and I was left staring at the eHarmony website. I took a breath and told myself to get a grip, before I could talk myself out of it I accepted his request. Now once again I had to wait for him to make the next move. He didn't keep me waiting long though, I had gotten maybe five pages into a new manuscript before he sent me an email.

Hey Alec, it's Josh! Can't wait to finally talk to you for real, what do you say to dinner ?

I pushed open the door to the restaurant, and was greeted by a dull roar of the multiple conversations all happening at once. There was also the most amazing smell hanging in the air, and I suddenly realized how hungry I was. I hadn't eaten all day since I had been too nervous of the impending date. I took a breath and looked around the place, trying to scope out Josh who told me to meet him here. I could see one of the waitresses staring at me, probably thinking I was lost or something. I was about to go up and ask if my date had arrived, when a voice cut through all the other ones.

"Alec, hey, over here!" I looked towards the voice and smiled when I saw Josh standing at the table waving both his hands in the air.

"Hi," I said once I made my way over.

"Glad you made it, hope it wasn't too hard to find," Josh said as we both sat down.

"It wasn't, don't worry. I've actually heard of this place before, but have never made my way inside until now," I said, fiddling with my fork.

"I think I go here too much to be honest, mostly with clients, but I do think the food here is the best."

"Well you'll have to recommend what I should get," I suggested as I opened the menu.

"If you say so, I will try to point you in the right direction," Josh said. "For drinks I was thinking of getting a bottle of wine?"

"Wine is my drink of choice, so I agree with that." Josh flagged down a waiter and placed our order for a bottle of red, I would never be able to order it again since the name was something in French. We then turned to look at the food selections, and Josh explained what he thought were the best dishes. I ended up going with steak and scallops, which sounded amazing.

"So you'll have to tell me about your job," I said once our waiter took our order and filled our glasses.

"Well I'm an interior designer, which you know of course," Josh started, perking up at the prospect of job talk. "I design mostly peoples living environments, I could have went into commercial, but I liked the idea of there being a more personal touch to my work. I love the thought of being able to turn my ideas into reality."

"That does sound really cool, I would love to have an eye for detail and the creativity needed for it. That's why I just live through my writers I suppose," I said chuckling a little, but it was like Josh hadn't even heard what I said, he was still going on about what his job entailed.

"…My work ranges from the structural alterations to the choice of furnishings, curtains, wallpaper and lighting. I also sometimes inspect and survey potential homes, and negotiate fees and set schedules. I have been told I have an amazing eye for design, and colour, which you can definitely see with how my homes turn out…" Josh continued giving me a full job description, it almost sounded like he was answering interview questions. Thankfully he was interrupted by our waiter bringing out the food. Hopefully he would be distracted by eating.

He was, for about five minutes.

"So you work with books right?" I took a sip of my wine before answering, excited about the prospect of where this topic could go.

"Yes, I'm an editor. It was the only job I could think of that would let me read books all day and get paid for it, which in my opinion is the best," I said smiling. "Who are your favourite authors, maybe I've published their books?"

"I don't really read a lot to be honest. I rather be out, making adventures of my own," Josh said. "Last year I drove across Europe for two months checking out eleven countries, it was awesome. While I was in the Netherlands I ended up getting pulled over by a cop while I was riding a bicycle of all things, but I do suppose I was quite drunk when that happened," He told me laughing.

"You've traveled to so many places, definitely jealous about that. I've only been to a few places myself," I said, hoping he would maybe ask about them. He didn't, he ended up going on about the food he learned how to make while in Italy. I sighed and grabbed the bottle of wine, if I was forced to listen to him ramble I might as well make it enjoyable for myself.

Dinner felt like it lasted for hours, and I had never been more happy for a waiter to clear away plates before.

"Do you want any dessert, the chocolate cake is amazing," Josh suggested.

"I would, but I just remembered that I have an early morning. Author is on a talk show that I need to go to, moral support," I said, I really couldn't sit there any longer.

"Oh that's too bad, but work does come first," he said before letting the waiter know we'll just have the bill. Josh insisted on paying, and I wasn't going to argue with that.

We both walked outside and Josh hailed me a cab since he was the one who lived just a street away.

"I had a great night, we should do it again," he said smiling at me.

"Oh yeah, I'll message you and we'll set something up," I lied, sighing in relief when I saw a cab pull over. "Well I should get going," I saw him leaning in, and there was no way in hell I was letting him kiss me. I quickly ducked around and practically jumped into the cab. I did end up giving him a little wave as it drove away.

I needed more wine, and maybe a bath when I got home. Anything to help forget this date.

"So how was your night?" Izzy asked the next afternoon, her tone of voice was so suggestive that I was cringing internally.

"It wasn't anything like you're thinking," I said flopping down onto the couch.

"What, why what happened?!" she practically screeched down the phone.

"It was literally a nightmare of a date, he talked about nothing but himself and his stupid job. I now know more about interior designing than I ever cared to know," I told her.

"Really, but he seemed so great when you two were messaging each other."

"I know, I don't really understand what happened. The weirdest thing was, he actually thought the date went great," I said rolling my eyes, even though she couldn't see. "He wants us to meet up again, but I'm just going to completely ignore him forever."

"I'm sorry that it was such a flop of a date, but you still have a lot of other matches to look through," she said to cheer me up.

"Yeah I know, this is what online dating is about. Countless dates before finding someone who isn't totally terrible," I said.

"I can come over later and we can look through your other matches if you want," she suggested.

"Well, actually, I may have already looked through them this morning before you called," I slowly said. "And maybe messaged him…"

"Oh my god really, look at you go. What's this guy all about?"

"His name is Dan, and he's a firefighter which might have been one of the reasons I messaged him," I confessed.

"Firefighters are the fantasies for most people, they are hot," Izzy said.

"He is insanely attractive, so even if he turns out to be boring I may consider sleeping with him anyway," I said, blushing even though I was alone.

"I do think this online dating thing is good for you, it's taken you out of your shell," Izzy told me.

"Whatever, I don't think there's anything different. But I should let you go, I have a ton of reading to do," I told her.

"Have fun, and let me know when Dan messages you back!" She yelled, causing me to move the phone away from my ear.

I made a new cup of coffee and grabbed the manuscripts I needed to look over. I settled myself into the couch and let the next couple of hours pass in a blur. I resurfaced when Chase came up to me carrying his leash and I couldn't help but laugh. I took him to the park and spent the next hour running around with him.

It was only when I got back that I thought to check my messages, and smiled when I saw that I had one from Dan. I was shocked though when it said he wanted to go straight to eH mail.

"I mean, it will be faster than having to go through all those message options," I said to Chase, who was flopped down at my feet.

"It couldn't hurt, and then I would be able to meet him quicker…and he is hot," I mused out loud. I didn't let myself overthink it and quickly accepted his request.

"Do you want some dinner Chase, anything to stop myself from sitting here until he responds," I said making my way into the kitchen. I filled his bowls, and then got myself a glass of wine. I really needed to think about how much I had been consuming since I started this dating thing.

I made my way back into the living room and tried to talk myself out from checking if he had messaged me. I lasted maybe five seconds before I logged on, and it turned out it was good that I checked since he had replied.

Hi Alec, I'm really glad you wanted to go straight to mail. I just find this a lot easier, and it takes less time then wading through all the questions. Now I realize this may be a bit forward, but I was thinking about going out tonight for a few drinks, and I want to know if you want to come with me? I was thinking Vero's since it's close to us both. Let me know, hope you want to.

I nearly chocked on the wine, I couldn't believe he wanted to meet tonight. At the same time though I could feel excitement coursing through me, I wanted to. I finished my glass before I responded to him.

Hey Dan, I think drinks tonight sound great! How about we meet at Vero's around 8? Can't wait to meet you.

"I will let you know, I don't usually spontaneously meet up with guys like this," I told Dan as our second drink arrived. He laughed, and swirled his straw around.

"Well I'm glad you decided to with me, I'm enjoying myself."

"So am I actually," I said taking a drink as I once again let my eyes trail down his body.

"You sound pretty surprised," He pointed out.

"Yeah, my last date I had through this site didn't go too well. Turned out the guy was actually a huge dick," I told him.

"Well I hope I'm not draining your will to live," He joked.

"Not at all, I don't think you'd be capable of that," I said biting my lip. Dan grinned and took another sip of his drink, and for some reason the way he sucked on the straw caused all the blood to leave my head.

"I think I should let you know something," he said.

"Should I be worried?" I joked.

"I don't know, I guess I should have put it in my profile. I'm not really looking for a relationship right now," he said.

"What are you looking for?" I asked, though I had a pretty good idea of what he was going to say.

"A one night stand, or multiple nights if you want," he told me, and I could tell he felt a little awkward saying this. I finished my drink before responding.

"I'm okay with that actually, mostly because you're insanely hot and I would be stupid to not take you home tonight," I said with way more confidence then I thought I possessed.

"Whew, I'm really glad you think that. The second I saw your profile picture I knew I needed to meet you."

"I'll let my sister now that, she's the one who took the photos."

"Is she a photographer?" He asked, before motioning for the bartender to bring us another round.

"No she's a model, but she has worked around cameras a lot so she know the best angles and things," I said.

"As much as I want to hear about your sibling, I do feel like talking about her after admitting we want to sleep with each other is a little weird," he pointed out.

"You're so right," I laughed. "Let's definitely move on to a different topic."

"So you work in editing?" He asked, accepting the drink the barman placed in front of him.

"Yeah, it's definitely my dream job since I spend way too much time reading. I figured I might as well get paid for it," I said, pulling my drink closer towards me.

"Working at something you actually love always makes it more fun," he said. "What are you reading now?"

"Actually, I just finished reading an erotic novel. I liked it so much that I'm thinking we'll publish it, move away a bit from all our thrillers," I said, and I couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face.

"Erotica, huh, I didn't peg you for that type of guy."

"I can be pretty surprising," I said biting the straw.

"I can't wait to see what else you'll surprise me with," Dan said, and a shiver went through me at the glint in his eyes.

0000

After our fourth drink we could hardly handle the tension that was circling around us, so we quickly paid and practically bolted out the door. The second we hit the street I spun around and captured his lips with mine. I may have actually pushed him against the building, I was quite ravenous. We did have to let go of each other to be able to hail a cab, but then we were lip locked for the entire ride back to my apartment. We stayed attached together as we made our way up in the elevator, and as I fumbled for my keys to unlock the door Dan moved to my neck which wasn't helping.

We were greeted by my dog as we practically fell into the entry way, and we had to stop kissing so I could quickly give Chase some food so he would leave us alone. As I put the food bag away I looked back to Dan and almost groaned when I saw he had divested himself of his shirt. His toned, tanned stomach was just there right in front of me, and I basically leaped at him. Helping him rip my shirt off, and I moved us in the direction of my bedroom as I fumbled with his belt. The sound of my bedroom door slamming rang through the rest of my apartment, and then I was just lost to the world.

"So how was the spontaneous date you had last weekend?" Jace asked as we left the shopping centre.

"It was definitely better than the last one, even though he was only looking to hook up," I said as we waited to cross the street.

"When I suggested you try online dating I didn't think one-night stands would be on the line."

"It's just a little bit of fun, it's not like I'm going to meet the man of my dreams on the first try," I told him.

"I guess that's true, and I shouldn't be lecturing you on having hookups," Jace said grinning. I rolled my eyes, that was true. He had a new girl at least every week.

"So have you contacted anyone else since then?" He asked, as we made our way to the diner we were meeting Izzy at.

"I have, there was this guy Aron that I was sort of talking to at the beginning of the week. He was just so boring that I had to stop," I said, cringing when I thought back to the basically one word answers he gave to my questions.

"Well there's always going to be some that you don't click with, things will get better," Jace reassured me as we made our way inside the diner. I scanned the thin crowd and picked up Izzy talking to one of the waiters. We got to her just as she finished ordering drinks for us.

"How did you know we were here?" I asked sitting down.

"I didn't, just figured I might as well get our drinks settled," she said.

"What if I didn't want what you ordered me?" Jace asked.

"It's what you always order,"Izzy told him. "Now lets get to the important topic in question, have you met anyone since your date last weekend?"

"You told her about it before telling me?" Jace asked, a hurt expression on his face.

"It's not my fault. We were talking before I went out with him, and then she called the next day to see if he ever messaged me back," I explained.

"I guess now I'll just have to call you everyday," Jace decided.

"Oh no, please don't."

"Anyway, moving on," Izzy stated. "So have you talked with anyone else?"

"Yeah, this guy named Aron, who turned out to be extremely dull. We never made it past the initial set of questions."

"Aww, I'm sorry. But there's still plenty of fish in the sea," Izzy declared.

"I don't know, is this even worth continuing? It's so much work, and it's not like anything has actually come about it so far. I haven't clicked with anyone yet-"

"What are you talking about!" Izzy interrupted. "You've only talked to like three guys, one of which you slept with!" This was the exact moment that our waiter came back with our drinks. After he sat them down he said he would give us a few more moments to decide what we wanted to eat. I could see him trying not to smile as he walked away.

"Could you be any louder?" I asked grabbing my drink.

"Yes I could be, now you have to promise to give it another try!"
"Okay, okay. I won't give up on now, I did pay for it after all," I said, sighing a little inside. Was this even worth it?

It wasn't until two weeks later that I tried the site again. I had been insanely busy with work, dealing with two of our new authors that we were trying to sort out, and make comfortable getting their books in order. Plus my sister and brother both had work parties that they insisted I go to, though I still only believe they wanted me there so they could try and hook me up with guys they knew. I did end up getting quite a few phone numbers, but I haven't called anyone yet.

Now it was finally Friday, and I was having a relaxing night in. I had music playing, a fresh bottle of wine, and steak grilling on the bbq. At the moment I was roasting some veggies, as I danced a little around the kitchen. I was feeling great, and I could feel my train of thought drift over to my computer. Would it hurt to check if I had any new matches?

I decided to quickly log in before I changed my mind, but then the timer went off and I got up to check on the steaks. They were perfect, so I loaded them on a plate and made my way back into the kitchen. Chase followed me, hoping that I would drop a little bite for him. I smiled, and thought what the heck, he deserves a little treat as well. Once Chase was happily chewing on his meat, I got my plate ready and after pouring another glass of wine I made my way into the living room. I had a lot of shows I needed to catch up on.

I was maybe ten minutes into an episode of Game of Thrones when I heard a beep come from my computer, I had a new match. I quickly paused and went to take a look.

"Hmmm, Magnus Bane," I read out loud as I clicked on his profile picture. "He's pretty hot."

Yes yes, finally Magnus is coming into the picture! Stay tuned to find out what happens next. I'll be back on Friday :)
