Rules for Online Dating: Don't lie. Be yourself. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this," Rachel said as she eyed the dress in the mirror. Her fingers played along the hem as she wondered, not for the first time, what the hell she was thinking."It's on sale. You have to get it." Paige came around behind her and held up a pair of shoes with very high heels. No way would she be able to walk in them without breaking her neck."Not happening.""I figured you'd say that so I grabbed these too." A much more sensible shoe appeared, but Rachel would rather not wear dress shoes at all. She wished she could get by in her favorite sneakers. "You look hot, by the way," Paige told her as she set the shoes down in front of her."Sure."Paige's eyebrows lifted so high, Rachel had to laugh."You think I'm just saying that to blow smoke up your butt?" When Rachel didn't answer, she continued, "Really? When have I ever done that?""Never. I guess it's the nerves.""What do you have to be nervou
Rules for Online Dating: If they seem too good to be true, it's a lie. These kinds of functions weren't always on the top of Wil's list of things he enjoyed. He would have much rather just given the money to the school and called it a day. Hell, they didn't even have to say it came from him. But they'd used his donation to earn more money for the department, so in the end he let them leak the information.He'd been walking around talking to some of his old teachers when he noticed his brother talking to someone. She was beautiful, but that didn't surprise him. Trent was a good-looking guy. Ladies flocked to him. "Excuse me," he said. And without waiting for an answer, he headed toward his brother and the mystery woman. Something seemed to be pulling him toward her for whatever reason. "Who?" he heard his brother ask.The look in her eyes was first shock and then confusion. Finally she looked as if something so terrible had happened to her, and she couldn't take it another minute.W
Has Wil Harris finally met someone? Last night at a function at his old high school, Wil Harris was seen talking to a woman. There seemed to be a connection between them, and that leaves everyone wondering if the last member of the band is now taken. Rachel couldn't believe it. She sat at her computer looking at pictures of the man she'd been talking to for months but hadn't even realized it. Women everywhere would kill for the chance, but her heart had been torn in a million pieces."Are you okay?" Paige asked from the door."No.""Want to talk about it?""Not really.""What happened with that guy?"Paige didn't get that "not really" meant she wanted to be left alone. Rachel got it though. It was a big deal. It wasn't everyday a friend had a big blow up with someone famous. She also appreciated that Paige acted like it was no big deal she'd been talking with someone famous.The second she walked out of that gym, reporters held up recorders in her face and started asking her question
Rules for Online Dating: Know when to ghost! Sometimes being famous paid off. Like right now. Wil had in his hand the address of the woman he'd been talking to for months-well not exactly, but he was one step closer. He'd found out that Rachel hadn't attended the event the night before as a teacher but as a friend of one. He'd smiled at the secretary, promised her tickets to Innominate's next show, complete with VIP access, and that was all it took for her to cave and give over the information he wanted. Wil should respect her wishes. Rachel had wanted him to leave her alone, but he needed to explain himself again. If only she would hear him out, maybe she'd understand. Wil didn't expect for them to put everything behind them right away, but he also felt a pull to make things right.Before, when things would go south with relationships, he'd write it off because they never mattered. Now as he stood at the entrance to Paige Montgomery's building, he realized it very much mattered tha
The question on everyone's mind is how long has Wil been holding out on us? Video surfaced of the big blowup between Wil Harris and a mystery woman. We've found out her name, but other than that, there's not much to go on. Just goes to show that famous people really do fall for ordinary folks. Rachel watched as Wil's face fell. She still couldn't believe the man she'd been talking to was someone famous. Never in a million years would she ever believe this would happen to her."What do you mean your job?""Because the media saw us together and heard part of our conversation, they followed me to my work, not to mention here at the apartment. Because of the madness, my bosses fired me.""They can't do that," he said."Apparently they can. I needed that job. Not all of us have a bank account with a stockpile of cash.""I'm sorry," he said, glancing down with a look she couldn't place. Rachel didn't know a lot of things about Wil since they'd never met or seen each other. "Can we at leas
Wil Harris is still in Chicago after the big benefit at his old high school. Later he showed up at the apartment of Rachel Davis. We aren't sure who she is or how she attracted his attention, but they're both on our radar now. "Thanks for keeping me posted." Wil hung up the phone, happy Rachel was safe but wishing he could do more."Everything okay?""Oh, hey, Mom.""Don't, 'hey, Mom' me. I know you, Wil, and something's going on with you. I don't like to pry in you kids' business, but it hurts when I see you guys going through something tough."His mom crossed the room and pulled him into a hug. He didn't realize until that moment how much he needed it. "I messed up," he admitted."Why don't you come over here and tell me about it. I'm sure we can figure out a way to fix it."He grimaced. "Not sure anything can at this point.""When have you ever been the kind of person to give up when things got hard? You and Nate left and showed up in LA with nothing to your name, and at that poi
Rachel Davis was spotted out with Wil Harris's bodyguard. We're not sure what that means, but we're happy to speculate. The pair hasn't been seen together in public since the night of the benefit, but we're wondering if the last member of Innominate is off the market. Guess only time will tell. Rachel looked through the job listings again. Nothing stood out to her. She loved her job at the bookstore and having to find something different didn't feel right. The last thing she wanted to do was take a job at a fast-food chain or be a hostess at a high-end restaurant. Would Joel even give her a good reference? He fired her after all.It didn't matter what he'd say about her. She didn't have the luxury to wait around for a job to fall in her lap. Rent was coming due, and while she saved every bit she could, it only stretched so far. "Hey, girl, how was your day?" Paige called as she came through the door."The same," she hollered back. "Contemplating joining a convent." "Not funny. I he
The patrons of Pippin's were in for a shock when they all witnessed Wil Harris get down on one knee. "We thought he was going to ask her to marry him," one woman said. "The way he was looking at her, I hope someday my daughter finds a man who looks at her like that." In the end we confirmed he didn't pop the question, but it leaves us wondering if or when it might be coming. Wil watched as Rachel and her roommate came into Pippin's. He didn't take Rachel for the kind of woman who'd eat at a place like this, but other matters were much more pressing, like what the hell she was wearing.The gold mini dress made her legs look long and toned, and Wil wanted nothing more than to walk over there, pick her up and wrap them around his waist. He was losing his damn mind. Rachel wanted nothing to do with him, much less a relationship.Thankful for the out-of-the-way table, Wil could watch as the girls ate and drank. Every now and then, Rachel would throw her head back and laugh, and it made hi
"I appreciate this whole seduction thing you've got going on here, but let me give you a tip. I'm a sure thing." ~Vivian: PRETTY WOMAN "Everything okay?" Paige asked, taking a seat next to Rachel on the bed. She was thankful she hadn't found a new roommate yet. Rachel had hoped the whole way to Chicago her friend would take her back in, and she did, with open arms."It hurts so bad. To see all the things written about me in that magazine out there for the world.""You know everyone probably thinks it's all made up anyway. Right? Most of the stuff in those are.""But I know it's not. I expected it from my mom but never my dad. Why would he do that after everything he did?""Greed makes people do terrible things."Rachel tensed when the buzzer sounded. "If that's Wil, I'm not here.""He knows that's a lie. His bodyguard is outside our place. Why don't you talk to him?""Because I can't see the look on his face when he looks at me after everything in that article.""He loves you. It wo
Wil Harris wrapped up shooting in Spain and headed back to LA. Usually when he traveled around he was known to party, but Wil stuck close to set and his hotel, not even opting for wild parties in. Watch out, ladies. It might be serious. A new rush of energy hit Wil as his plane landed in LA. He'd worked the private flight into his contract, and knowing he didn't have to worry about fans in the airport made it the smartest move on his part. All he wanted to do was get home to Rachel. The months apart, while exciting, hadn't been what he expected. The old Wil would've enjoyed the hell out of it, partied every night and not had a care in the world. With Rachel in the picture, he spent his free time thinking about her and wishing she was with him. He'd already planned a trip for them to Spain. The area was breathtaking, and he knew she'd love it."The car service called, and they're waiting for you as soon as the captain gives the all clear.""Thanks, Rana.""It should only be a few mo
Wil Harris's New Girlfriend. Is it love or is she trying to escape? Rachel Davis has a past none of us saw coming. It has us wondering if she's in it for love or to get away from what happened? Guess time will tell. Wil: Knock knock!Rachel: Who's there?Wil: Juno.Rachel: Juno who?Wil: Juno I love you. Right?Rachel: That's super corny, but sweet.Wil: Only the best for you.Rachel: How's Spain?The phone rang, alerting Rachel to a video call. Reluctantly she answered. She'd been out with the dog and she looked rather ordinary."Why's your camera turned off?" Wil asked when the call connected."I look like crap.""It's not possible. I've been missing you like crazy. Now let me see your face?"Rachel turned on the camera. She hadn't done her hair so the wavy strands sat untamed around her face. "See, not good.""I do see. You're beautiful."Her nose wrinkled. "You always say that, but I think you're biased.""Others think it too, but it doesn't matter because you're mine."Hearing
Austin King is a dad! Pictures surfaced on his IG of him holding a newborn with the caption, "Today my heart grew to love more than yesterday. I've won a lot of things in life, but getting to be this one's dad beats them all." "You ready to go?" Wil asked from the doorway of Rachel's room.She looked up, surprised to see him. They'd been sleeping in the same room since the night she trusted him not only with her heart but with her body too. Wil had a surprise for her, though, and he needed her to finish packing or they'd be late."It'd be easier if you told me where we were going," she said sticking out her lip and pouting.He laughed because she looked cute and crossed to her, letting his lips linger on hers. He intended it to be a quick, simple kiss, but like everything with Rachel, it wasn't. Instead it swelled into something more, something deeper.Slowly she pulled back. "Thought we were in a hurry.""You distracted me. Now get a move on, beautiful. We have places to go, things
Rules to Online Dating: Have Sex if You Want-and Not if You Don't. Rachel couldn't believe she'd blurted all that out. While true, she'd wanted to keep it to herself longer. When Wil had told her how he saw her, it broke the piece of her that kept her heart guarded. There had been a reason she never told people about her past. Everyone felt bad for her or about her situation. Hearing Wil say he didn't view her as those things went a long way.Only part of what she'd said was true. She didn't think she'd fallen for Wil. She knew it, and it scared the shit out of her.A quiet knock came at the door. When she didn't answer, she heard Wil's voice."Rach, you okay?"Was she? No, the emotions running through her wreaked havoc, causing her to wrap her arms around herself.The door opened, but she barely noticed as she tried not to think about what Wil might have to say."Hey," he said next to her, pulling her into his arms. "What's wrong?"The words wouldn't come out. Instead she shook her
"The idea of finding your soul mate, whether it's online or not, is what people want." ~Nev Schulman Wil found himself wanting to rush home. A day that should've been exciting and fun had been overshadowed by his desire to be with Rachel. "Earth to Wil?" Paul said, bringing him back to the present."Yeah, sorry.""Everything okay?" his manager asked. "You don't seem like yourself.""Yeah, I'm sorry. I have a lot going on.""Fill me in. I can't help if I don't know, and this opportunity is too good to mess up."Wil ran a hand through his hair. "It's not like that. I met someone.""You... met?""Someone," Wil filled in for him. "A woman.""Listen," Paul started, a look of concern on his face, "You've got a great family, but it's important for me to say this to you. Guard yourself."Wil's laugh echoed through the room."This isn't a laughing matter. I've been around this business for a long time, and I've seen many people get taken advantage of in situations like these.""You didn't ev
Rules for Online Dating: Don't Rush It. Things between Rachel and Wil had been almost effortless. She'd worried life in LA would come with challenges-both with Wil and everything else. While Chicago was a big city, California seemed scarier to her."Morning, beautiful. What's going on for you today?" Wil asked as he walked into the living room fresh from a shower. "Did you just pinch yourself?""I had to make sure all of this was real," she explained. "There's no way this is meant for me. The place, this life, you."Before she realized it, Wil's lips pressed against hers. There'd been a lot of kissing since she'd shown up, and she wanted more. Wil seemed hesitant to take it further. Besides, the moment they shared where breakfast burned, they hadn't done anything other than heavy making out. Now that she realized how great an orgasm could be with Wil, she craved more. Rachel wanted to make him feel good too.The kiss was over well before she cared for it to be. Wil had more willpower
Cuteness Alert! We've spotted Wil Harris walking his dog around his neighborhood in LA. If the guy needed any help with looking sexy, the smiling corgi named Cooper would do the trick. "Hold on, bud," Wil mumbled as Cooper licked him on the face. Wil had stayed up way too late the night before talking to Rachel. Their conversation had been effortless, just like when they'd been texting. He'd often wondered if they met, how things would be between them. Wil knew he still had a lot to make up for, but Rachel opened the door for it to be possible.Cooper barked. Wil stretched and patted him on the head. "I hear ya. Let's go."Wil reached for his shorts and shirt and slipped them on before making his way out to the living room where he'd left Cooper's leash. His pup danced around his feet, excited to be going out. The poor guy left the small yard at his folks' place and now had to make do in his high-rise. Thank goodness Rachel had taken him up on the offer to help with his pooch.The w
Rules for Online Dating: Know What You Want. Rachel wondered what was going through Wil's head. He hadn't said a word to her since he'd opened the door. Now his dog, who'd been a champ on the trip, was licking him all over, excited to see him."Who's there?" Wil asked. Rachel forgot she'd started the joke."Theodore."His brows knitted together. "Theodore who?""Theodore wasn't open so I knocked."Wil's mouth tipped up in a grin. "How'd you get here?""Figured that was pretty obvious. I mean, I guess unless you're asking if I drove or not, then the answer is no. I don't even own a car. After getting here from the airport, I see that might be an issue. But since I have no driver's license..." She was rambling, but with Wil staring at her, she wasn't sure what else to do."Hey, my man. Good to see you again. I didn't realize you were back in town. Oh, cute dog."The pair of them turned to look at the guy who'd joined them."Dereck," Wil said, holding out a fist for a bump. "What's up?
