Emily was unsure about her feelings herself what was she supposed to tell Rach . And finally things were going right between Rach and Jack , she didn't wanted to make her sad by shooting her problems on her . So she tried to change the topic ; " Oh I am also keeping you wait . Have you forgotten that we have a project to look into so for the time being lets focus on that and we will worry about other things later . "
" Come on Emily , I know what you are trying to do here so it is better that you tell me what is making you upset . "
" Fine . . . . so yesterday Matt came at my house late night . He said that he was very sorry . I wanted to be angry but he was all very sweet and convincing . We talked and then . . . . . . . "
" And then ? "
" And then . . . . . you know , he made love to me . "
" What you too slept together ? Were you ever planning to tell me this ? I can't believe you call to tell me that your neighbor's dog pooped in front of your door but you didn't bothered to tell me that you finally lost your virginity . Oh my God I can't believe my girl grew up . Oh so that explains why you were with Matt this morning . I am so happy for you . But wait a minute why does it makes you sad . Was he not good enough like you imagined him to be ? "
" It is not like that . He was very good . In fact we were up all night . "
" Ooh ! . . . . . . so what is the problem . "
" I just heard him talking to Jessica . Jessica cheated on him , this is his side of the story and according to Jessica they were never back together . He was angry and he wanted a rebound to get over her . So I am just a rebound to him . I can sense that he still wants to get back with her and he is using me as a prey . "
Matt was in a place where he was constantly looking for the love that he has given to come back from Jessica . He was totally in love with someone was no longer there to love him back and he went out looking for it from someone else . He was trying to create an illusion that he has moved on . But was it really any good . He chose Emily because in some way he thought that she was alike to Jessica . Nothing temporarily numbs the sting of a breakup quite like a rebound relationship .

There was a silence between Rachel and Emily for a while . Until Rach broke the silence ;
" He was vulnerable . He got betrayed and the first person he thought of was you . "
" What does that mean ? "
" You have wanted him all your life and now you have him so don't let him go . See you also know that you are the type of girl that he don't date normally , despite that he went for you . This clearly shows that he is trying to change himself . May be it could lead to something real . "
" But what if some day he wakes up and realize ' Oh what am I doing with Emily ? I don't want her . I should go back to Jessica . ' , What will I do then . "
" Show him that you are a better match for him . You have a powerful tool , your s*x , use it as a weapon and shoot it directly into his heart so that he will never be able to get over it even if he wanted . He has tasted Jess now it is your turn give him a taste that he will never forget . Wrap him around your fingers and never let him go because a guy like Matt is very hard to find . "
" I don't think that I totally agree with you but still I am going to do it . "
