Author's Note: Sorry I haven't been updating as frequently as I was. I've been out of town and haven't had time to write. I actually just returned from a trip to New York, so I got some inspiration from walking through The Village. I'm also putting my other story on hold for a while so I can focus on this one. Please don't forget to leave a review!

Enjoy!

Chandler Bing walked into his dorm room and greeted his roommate, Ross Geller.

"Hey, Jennifer is looking for you." He told Ross. Jennifer was Ross' girlfriend.

"Where is she?" Ross asked

"She's outside, waiting." Chandler responded

Ross quickly went outside and greeted his girlfriend.

"Hey Jen. What's up?" He asked, giving her a peck on the cheek

"Ross, there's no easy way for me to say this… I'm… Breaking up with you." She told him

"What? You're…Yo-you're breaking up with me?" He asked, dumbfounded

"Yes, I'm sorry, but I met someone else. His name is Eric."

"I think you should leave. Go. Now." Ross said, tears in his eyes.

He walked back up to his room and vented to Chandler.

"Three months we went out. Three months! Then she decides to start seeing someone else!" Ross rants

"To hell with her. Him too. Forget about her." Chandler consoled his friend

"You're right. Thanks Chandler." Ross told him as he walked out the door.

A few days later, Ross and Chandler were walking around campus when they came across Monica and Rachel. Rachel was with her boyfriend Kevin.

"Hey Mon. Rachel. And.. Kevin, right?" Ross greeted them

"Yeah." Kevin said, shaking Ross' hand

"So… What's up guys?" Monica asked

"Well, Ross and I were about to grab some food. Wanna come?" Chandler asked them

"Sure." Rachel replied as the others nodded in agreement

They ate and then Kevin dropped Rachel off outside her dorm.

"Listen, Rach, These past two months have been great, but I don't think it's working out between us." Kevin said sadly

"God, you're right. We have nothing in common. This whole thing was just a mistake. Can we still at least be friends?" She asked

"Of course." He replied, hugging her.

Kevin left and Rachel sat on the front step, sobbing. Ross, who hadn't been very far away, walked up and sat next to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Kevin and I broke up." She replied, wiping away tears

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry. My girlfriend broke up with me a few days ago, and it was heartbreaking." He said

Rachel leaned on his shoulder and cried. Eventually, she buried her head in his lap. Ross sat there for a while, stroking her hair. A few minutes later, she fell asleep. Ross gently lifted her up and carried her inside. He opened her door and saw Monica. She looked surprised, but Ross motioned for her to stay quiet. After he laid her in bed and covered her up, Ross quietly explained what happened.

"Oh my God! You totally have feelings for her!" Monica said once he finished

"What? All I did was bring her back up here." He told her

"Yeah, in a way a boyfriend would. I think that you and Rachel would be great together. Now get out of here, guys aren't supposed to be in here." She said, smiling

Ross said goodnight and left. He thought about what Monica had said the whole walk back to his dorm. Was she right? Did he really have feelings for Rachel? He got back to his room and immediately fell asleep. The next morning, he told chandler about the previous night's events.

"Dude, you've had a crush on Rachel since the 9th grade. Ask her out!" Chandler advised him

"Are you crazy? She just broke up with her boyfriend!" Ross argued

"But you were there for her. You consoled her." Chandler reminded him

"You know what? You're right. After class, I'll go talk to her." Ross said, smiling

After his last class of the day, Ross met Rachel outside her dorm.

"Thanks for last night. It really meant a lot." She said sweetly.

"Oh, it was nothing. But listen, Rach, after last night, I felt something between us and I was wondering, would you like to go out sometime?" Ross asked her

"Absolutely!" She said, very excited

"Really? I was really nervous about asking you. I didn't expect it to go so well."

"Well, Monica told me about what you did last night and I realized how much of a gentleman you are." Rachel told him

"Wow, I didn't realize that Monica told you, but now I'm glad that she did. I'll pick you up at 7:30" He told her

Ross met her outside her dorm and gasped. She was wearing a stunning dark blue dress and Ross told her "You look amazing. "

"Thanks!" She replied, smiling

Ross took her to a nice restaurant in Little Italy

"Wow! You really know how to treat a girl!" Rachel said, beaming

After dinner, Ross took her on a carriage ride through Central Park. After the ride, they sat on a blanket underneath the stars.

"Tonight was amazing" Rachel told Ross

"Who said it was over?" He replied, smiling

She smiled even more, which Ross loved. He loved seeing her smile and laugh, and especially enjoyed it when he made her laugh and smile. He felt her hand creep up his leg until it met his. He grabbed her hand and smiled. They locked eyes and he moved in and softly kissed her on the lips. She beamed and pulled him closer, making out with him. Ross wished this night could last forever, but after about an hour, they packed up and went back to campus.

"I had a great time tonight." He said, smiling

"I did too." She replied, grinning back at him

He kissed her goodnight and watched her walk into the building. He thought to himself about how lucky he was to finally have the girl of his dreams. He walked back to his dorm with the biggest smile on his face.
