Hey guys.. Thanks for the reviews alright.. m4manju you're damn right I love writing Romantic scenes, if you like them its only because they are for Ross and Rachel. These two characters make my writing look good, you know. And Ross Geller I didn't really get when you said I finally learned how to spell Geller, because as much as I remember, I've been writing Geller in the story, if any other spelling was there, it would have purely been a typo. But anyways thanks for liking my story. WishUponAFanGirl You definitely deserve to read this story, its for all Ross and Rachel shippers :) Now on with story and don't forget to review okay..
Days passed and it was the 27th already. It was the day when Rachel had to go back to New Jersey. Monica was in Rachel's room at Jessica's to help her pack. "God Rach, that sure is a lot of clothes" She said folding one of her tops.
"Well what else do you expect from a fashion major?" Rachel retorted.
"So have you ever like, designed a dress?" Monica asked with excitement.
"Oh yes. In fact.." Rachel started to look in her cupboard for something. She turned around with a dress "Aah-ha.. I designed and stitched this one" Rachel said.
"Wow. Its so pretty" Monica was amazed. It was a simple black dress with an olive coloured bow in the middle. It was a straight fit. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. "Come in, its open" Rachel yelled. The door opened and Ross walked in.
"Hey sweetie.. my stuff is all in the car. Are you done packing?"
"Almost done"
Ross rolled his eyes. Then he suddenly saw the dress Monica was examining. He went closer to her to have a good look at it. "I knew I had seen it before" He turned around to see his girlfriend. "This is the dress you were wearing when we first met, isn't it?" Ross asked.
Monica's jaw dropped. Rachel had an expression like she was trying to remember something. Slowly her lips curled up and she nodded her head, feeling flattered. Monica shook her head. I can't believe him at times, she thought.
"Well Rach.. this dress proved lucky for you, didn't it" Monica said, patting on Ross' back. "You met my brother afterall" Rachel just gave her a warm smile, thinking about the day they met, the song he played for her. Monica looked up at her brother. "Rachel designed this dress" "Wha- Really, Sweetie? Thats so cool. I'm proud of you"He walked over to kiss her on the cheek.
"Aww.. I'm gonna miss you guys. Rachel, promise you won't forget me" Monica said. "Of course, Mon. I'd always keep in touch" Rachel assured her.
"Alright, we must take off, Rach. I don't want your father to kill me with his death glare if we are late" He said jokingly. Monica and Rachel rolled their eyes. They went back to packing.
(...)
Jessica's family, Rachel, Ross and Monica were all outside saying their goodbyes.
"You said your goodbyes to Mom and Dad?" Monica asked Ross.
"Yeah I talked to them. They were pretty cool about my plan to directly go to my dorm after New Jersey"
"Well.. You're gonna be missed big bro" Monica said hugging him.
"Yeah" Ross said pulling away. "So when are you heading back to college?"
"Chandler said he needs to be at NYU by 30th so... most probably then. He'll drop me off"
"Okay. Take care" He kissed her cheek.
He walked over to the Greenes. They were all just having a nice chat "Shall we go now, Rach?"
"Yeah. Goodbye Uncle James, Aunt Lisa. Take care Jess. Will miss you guys" She said, giving them all quick hugs.
"Keep my sister safe, Ross" Jessica warned playfully. Ross and Rachel laughed. "Drive safe, big guy" James said. Ross nodded. He led Rachel to his car and they both got seated. They waved a final goodbye and drove away.
Both had their sunglasses on. Songs were playing on the radio. On the top of that, they had each other's company for the 3 hour drive. They had just reached the Long Island Expressway when Rachel broke the comfortable silence. "You remember when we first met?"
Ross turned to look at her. She had a nostalgic smile on her face. He just nodded his head.
"I never thought you would remember such a small detail of that day as my dress"
"Well.. you are forgetting a teeny-tiny detail here.. that detail is related to you. And.." Ross said, keeping his eyes on the road. Then he turned to look at her "I could never forget anything about you" Rachel smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at the view from her window glass.
A few minutes passed.. a song started playing on the radio. "Of course" Rachel muttered. Ross heard her. "What?"
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait.. for you
"Didn't you notice?" Rachel turned to him and continued. "Everytime we are in the car, a song starts playing that perfectly explains our situation"
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'll wait.. without you
With or without you
Ross didn't say anything. But then.. what could he say? She was right. On the inside it was killing him that he won't be able to see her everyday, but he had kept his cool so that he didn't bother her. But little did he know, she was thinking the exact same thing since the last two days.
Through the storms we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting.. for you
A smile spread upon his face. He chuckled. A little too hard that annoyed Rachel. "This is funny to you?" She asked frustrated, putting her shades off on the dashboard.
"We're moving on, Rach. Together, remember?" Rachel just looked at him. Seeing her expression, he pulled over to the side of the road. He put his shades in his shirt pocket and took one of her hands in between his both, resting on his thigh. He looked at them for a while and sighed. He looked up at her face and smiled. "Sweetie.. We can't be available 24x7 to each other, I know but.. you know, we do have each other's hearts"
A single tear dropped from her eye at the sweetness of his words. She kept her other hand over the bundle of their hands and gave a squeeze. "I'm gonna miss you so much" she said, now sobbing a little.
"I know" He freed his one hand and wiped away the tears off her face. He just couldn't see her crying. On the other hand, he found her beyond adorable when she cried. She was such an emotional person. But he dare not mention it then. When he came back to reality, he saw her looking at him questioningly. "What?"
"At this point, you have to say, you will miss me too" She said crying again. He couldn't help but chuckle. Classic Rachel, he thought.
"I'll miss you, baby. But... think of it this way.. we get to see each other every saturday. I just thank God that you don't live on the west coast. I would have died I swear" Rachel managed to give him a smile, still crying.
"Heyy.. now come on. Don't dry your eyes out like this. Save some tears for the sisters reunion as well" He said making the situation lighter, and earned a playful slap on the cheek. She pulled out a kleenex and wiped her face. Ross handed her the water bottle. She had some water, feeling a bit relaxed. "You wanna eat something?" He asked, putting a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Monica made sandwiches" She shook her head. "Later"
(...)
They were halfway through their journey, had eaten their sandwiches, and Rachel was fast asleep in her seat. Ross would often look at her when she moaned his name. He just couldn't believe she was having a dream of him. He kept smiling at the thought. All of a sudden, Rachel's phone started ringing. This made her groan. "Rachel sweetie, get the phone"
"Huh?" She took in what was happening around her. "Oh.. okay" She pulled her phone out of her purse. "Hello?" Still trying to rub the sleep off her eyes.
"Hey Mom"
"Nothing I fell asleep. Whats up?"
"Uhh.." She looked out the window to see where they were. She couldn't make it out. She kept her hand on the speaker and whispered "Ross, where are we?"
"I don't really know.. But tell Mrs Greene we'll be there in about an hour"
"We'll be there in an hour, Mom"
"Lunch?" She looked at Ross, his eyes on the road. " I don't know.. we had sandwiches"
"Okay.. sure" she hung up.
"So my Mom wants you to have lunch at our place today"
"That's nice of her"
"She also said it is the perfect way to introduce you to Jill and Amy"
"That'd be interesting" Rachel laughed at his words.
"Okay Sweetie.. we're in New Jersey. Would you please tell me the way to your house?"
"Uhh.. the left cut after burger king" She could see the board that said 'Burger King in 2 miles'
They took the left and it led to a number of houses. Every one of them elegant in their own way. "Just there Ross.. the house with the jaguar in the drive way"
"That's your house?"
"Yeah.. Dad bought it when he and mom were about to get married"
Ross stopped the car in her drive way. "Whoa.. that's double the size of my house" She just looked at him with a look that said 'what do you mean by that?'
She got out of the car and smiled. She missed that place in the two months she spent in Long Island. But one look at Ross, who was pulling out her bags from the trunk, made her think what she gained by that one summer. A lifetime, she thought.
They made their way to the door and rung the bell. A few moments passed and finally the door was opened by Jill. She just looked at both Ross and Rachel with a weird expression on her face. "Jill.. get out of the way. Let us come in" Rachel said frustrated by her sister's behaviour. Jill now focused on Ross and looked him from head to toe. "Who's this?" Whoever this is, he's so sexy, she thought.
"It's Ross ofcourse. Didn't Mom and Daddy tell you about him?"
"Nu-uh" Jill said, blowing a bubble off her gum on Rachel's face.
"Arghhhhh" Rachel groaned. She turned to face Ross. "You see that. That's a younger sister. You're lucky you have Monica" Ross chuckled at her outburst.
"Mom.. I'm home" Rachel yelled, giving up on Jill. Sandra came from behind and hugged her daughter "so how's my sweetheart?"
"I'm good, Mom. How are you?"
"Now that you're back, better" Rachel hugged her mother again, when she heard these words.
"Oh.. Ross.. I apologise to keep you standing with.. all... these... bags" Sandra said pointing to the Rachel's bags that Ross was carrying, making him look almost like a shopping monster "Please come on in"
Ross kept the suitcases and turned around. He hugged Sandra. "Nice to see you again, Mrs Greene" He even kissed her cheek.
"You too, dear. Thank you for bringing Rachel back home safely"
"You don't need to mention that" He said with a shy chuckle. Sandra smiled at him. Jill, soon got bored of the talk and started to walk away from the conversation when Sandra said "Jill sweetie, call your father and Amy for lunch. Tell them Rachel is back"
Jill rolled her eyes. What's the big deal if she's back, she thought.
"So how is everything going between you two?" Sandra asked Ross and Rachel obviously referring to their relationship. "Couldn't be better" Both said the same thing without even thinking. They looked at each other and smiled. This made Sandra smile even more. "Well.. nothing else matters then" She could see her daughter was in love.
"Okay kids.. go get freshen up. Lunch will be served in 10 minutes. Rachel, show Ross the bathroom, will you?" Rachel nodded. With that Sandra made her way to the kitchen.
Rachel grabbed Ross' hand and took him to her room. They entered the room and Ross rotated his eyes through her room "Wow.. pretty pink princess theme" He looked down at her "Just like you" She smiled. "Make yourself comfortable while I go freshen up"
Ross decided to kill time by exploring her room. His eye spotted a few pictures on the side table. First he picked up a frame that had a mother, a father and three little girls. Rachel must have been 9, he thought. Then he saw a picture of Dr Greene and Rachel. Lastly he picked up a frame that just had a candid close up of Rachel. He softly slid his index and middle finger over the frame, brought it to his lips and kissed it. "You do know I'm right here"
This made him jump and almost drop the frame. He turned around to see Rachel grinning at him. He kept the frame back and walked over to her. "I'm just practising.. for when I can't see you when I feel like" Rachel frowned. She held his face with her hands and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you" She kissed him again, with a little more passion.
"Mom" They heard a yelling and pulled away. "Rachel is kissing a stranger in her room" Rachel looked at the door to see Amy giving her a mean smile. "Is this how you welcome your elder sister after two months?"
"Is this how you show up in your home after two months? With a guy?" Amy smirked back. Rachel sent a death glare towards her and started running. "Alright I'm not gonna leave you"
"You have to catch me first, Ray Ray" With that Amy ran outside the room, followed by Rachel just behind her. As they reached the staircase, they heard their father..
"Hey hey hey... what is the fuss all about? Can't you two meet like normal sisters do.. han?" Dr Greene stopped both of them in the way. He was not expecting an answer from either. "Sweetpea.. You're back" Rachel smiled and walked forward. He gave her a tight hug. "You sure didn't give me a hug when I came back from Paris" Amy muttered under her breath.
"Well.. I would have given you one if you wouldn't have made a scene back in my bed room" Rachel said pulling away to look at her sister.
"Well.. I didn't expect a guy to be in there with you"
"You're such a tattle tail" Rachel hissed and looked at her father who had an unreadable expression on his face.
"Is Ross in your room?" Rachel nodded.
"His name is Ross? He's cute" Amy said smiling. Rachel shot her a look. As if on cue, Ross joined the little Greene reunion. "Good afternoon, Sir"
"Ross.. look at your hair! What.. do you swim in hair?"
The Greene girls laughed at their father's joke. "Just kidding, Ross" Ross just nodded with a faint smile.
"Hmm... I see you kept your promise" Dr Greene's tone was still, neither angry nor happy. Ross just shrugged and smiled.
Sandra called "lunch is ready"
(...)
They all settled down. Ross and Rachel on one side, Jill and Amy right across them while Leonard and Sandra occupied the seats of the 'head of the family' on both sides.
Jill and Amy were curious to know about Ross. How did their parents know him? What was he doing with Rachel? Was he like her boyfriend or something?
"Ross.. how do you like the potatoes?" Sandra asked while having her salad.
"They're yum, Mrs Greene. Everything's great. Thank you" Ross said.
"Will someone introduce us to this guy?" Jill whispered to Amy. "Well yeah.. out of all of us, we don't know him and no one's making an effort to introduce us!" Both turned to look at him. "I must say he's cute" Jill gushed. "I saw Rachel kissing him" Amy mentioned. Jill gasped "So are they like.. together?"
"I know I won't like that" Amy smirked.
Hearing her sisters' disturbing thoughts, Rachel groaned. She hit the sides of her plate with both hands. "Hey, he's my boyfriend. And I know he's cute, but he's taken. Get it?" Rachel playfully pointed the fork infront of their face.
"Really?" Amy asked.
"Yes dear.. Rachel met Ross while she was in Long Island" Sandra spoke up.
"So is this why she stayed another month?" Jill chipped in. Dr Greene nodded. "And you allowed her?" He shrugged.
"Umm.. he was angry at first but.. then he gave her permission" Ross finally spoke up.
"So you do have a tongue. We thought you were dumb" Jill teased, taking a spoon full of her rice. He smiled shyly.
"So.. tell us tell us tell us.. how did you meet?" Amy asked giddily.
"Can we eat our lunch first? We have whole day to discuss our story" Rachel said. Everybody went back to eat their food.
After lunch, Amy and Jill decided to go upstairs with Rachel to discuss her two month relationship. Ross was going to follow them but Dr Greene asked him to stay with him in the living room.
"So Ross.. how are you?"
"I-I'm good, Sir. Thanks for asking"
"I hope you had no trouble to bring Rachel back home" Dr Greene's expression was hard to read.
"Of course not"
"So now what?"
Ross got confused. "Umm.. Sorry? What?"
"I meant are you gonna drive for 3 hours in the dark"
"Uhh.. no.. I'm going back to my dorm. Anyway I gotta start my basketball practice"
"Oh" Leonard paused, then continued. "Can your practice wait for a day or two?"
Ross just looked at him, unsure of what to say.
"Well.. I mean.. you could join us for my birthday party. You kept your promise by bringing Rachel back in time. This is my way of saying thank you"
The way Leonard asked Ross, that erased all the nervousness he felt. " Oh.. I appreciate the gesture, Sir.. so much. But won't it be a little inappropriate?"
"Oh.. A lot of things have happened to you the past two months that I would say were more inappropriate than you coming to my birthday party, Ross" He said sarcastically.
Ross chuckled. "Okay"
(...)
Meanwhile... In Rachel's room, she was showing the sundress and the pendant that Ross gifted to her.
"Wow.. you don't even have to say it's from him. It stands for Rachel as well!" Amy gushed.
"I know.. we both have RG as our initials. Ross says fate wanted us to meet" At that moment, Leonard and Ross walked into Rachel's where all the three Greene sisters were. All of them looked up to see who was at the door.
"What did you say about fate?" Leonard asked Ross who was behind him. Ross was equally confused.
"About our initials" Rachel explained.
"Oh.. yeah.. Since the day I met her and got to know we have the same initials.. as in RG, I think we met for a reason.. Fate" Ross said smiling. Leonard rolled his eyes.
"Anyway.. girls.. Ross will be staying for my birthday party" Leonard told his daughters. Rachel smiled. Finally, her father liked her boyfriend.
"Really?" Amy said. Rachel turned to look at her with a weird expression. Why is she so excited about him staying, she thought.
"Yeah.. Dr Greene insisted. I couldn't say no" Ross answered Amy's question, his eyes never leaving Rachel's.
It was around 11 in the night. Ross was in the guest bedroom and was getting ready to sleep. He had no shirt on and was looking into one of the suitcases for his t-shirt. He felt two hands snaking from the behind which settled on his stomach flatly. He smiled, knowing those hands. He turned around to see her smiling so sweetly at him. Her hands went straight for his neck while he placed one on her waist and put a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I'm so happy I didn't have to say goodbye to you yet" Rachel spoke up. He kissed her on the forehead. They kept looking into each other's eyes. Rachel leaned in to kiss him on his neck. He felt like losing himself in that, but he came back to his senses realising...
"Rach, no.. we are at your parent's. We can't do that here" He said holding her wrists. Rachel pouted. "But we did it at your parent's place"
Ross chuckled at her childishness. How could he resist her? But he could not take the risk. Everything was going so smoothly with Dr Greene. He didn't want to ruin that. "Sweetie.. your father will forbid me to see you if he finds out" He said, only half-joking.
"Let's just talk.. what do you say?" Ross bargained. Rachel remained silent for a few seconds, thinking how could she find a guy as considerate as Ross. She was giving herself to him, but he wanted to protect her, it was her house afterall. Any other guy would have jumped on the opportunity, without even thinking about the consequences. She finally nodded her head and kissed him on the cheek.
"Lemme just put on my t-shirt"
"Hey.. would you like to have some coffee? I'll brew some" Rachel asked.
"Sure"
Rachel left the room. He wore the t-shirt and remembered he didn't inform his family about the change of plans. He quickly made a call to let Monica know he was staying in New Jersey for Dr Greene's birthday party.
The next day, Ross had breakfast with the Greene family. They were all busy preparing for the party. Ross asked Rachel to take him to a mall and help him choose something for Dr Greene. Rachel obviously had no problem with that, as it gave her an excuse to check out some shops for herself.
They came back around 4 and Rachel ran to her bedroom as she knew she would take time to get ready. Ross decided to give Dr Greene his birthday gift, so he went straight to his study and knocked. "Come in"
"Uhh.. Sir.. Happy birthday" Ross wished him again. At the breakfast table, he just wished the old man, mentally kicking himself to stay for his party without a gift.
"You didn't need to get anything, Ross.. Really"
"I wanted to" Ross walked to where he was sitting and offered the package.
Dr Greene opened the packet to find an Emporio Armani Men's cologne. He opened the bottle and smelled it.
"You got good choice, Wethead" He said while putting the bottle back in the packet. God, Ross groaned in his mind. A new nickname!
"Actually.. Rachel helped me pick it out" Ross explained.
"So what do you think I was talking about.. huh, Geller?" Leonard smirked and got up. He patted Ross on his shoulder and left the room, leaving a very confused Ross standing in the middle of his study.
It was almost 8. The Greene living room was filled with friends, family and people of their neighbourhood. Ross observed the gathering. Everyone looks so rich, he thought. He was starting to get bored so he went upstairs to see what was taking Rachel so long.
He knocked on her door and opened it. She was infront of the mirror, giving her hair a final touch up. She jerked her head at the opening of the door. "Hey.. look at you all handsome" She said walking towards him and sliding her hands on his chest upto his shoulders. He was wearing black trousers with a white dress shirt and a black semi-formal jacket. They kissed. "You look so radiant" She was wearing a black dress with a hint of royal blue. With that the earrings she wore were the ones she bought the same day on her little trip to the mall with Ross. He fiddled with her ears to take a good look and continued "The earrings look beautiful now" She smiled, remembering him saying they won't compliment her beauty.
"Everyone's waiting for you. Dr Greene said hosts should not be late"
Rachel laughed. "Let's go, then"
Rachel kept both her hands around his arm. They were walking down the stairs. "I'm happy you're mixing well with the family"
"Just want to stay in your father's good books"
As they stepped into the living room, they were greeted by a couple their age. "Hi Ray Ray. Finally you're back" the girl hugged Rachel.
"Mindy... How are ya?"
"I'm great"
"Oh.. hey Barry" Rachel greeted the guy with a hug as well. Ross had a weird expression as he was trying to recall. Then it came to him. Barry? Her ex-boyfriend?
"Good to see you, Rachel" He said politely, eyeing Ross.
"Oh.. this is Ross.. my boyfriend. Ross, this is Mindy, my friend since high school, and this is Barry" Rachel introduced them.
"Hello. Nice to meet you" Ross said, erasing his thoughts for the moment.
"Likewise" Barry said.
"Never seen you around" She turned to Rachel "did you two meet at Yale?" Mindy asked, thinking that's why Rachel never mentioned about him.
"No no.. I'm from Long Island" Ross told the two.
"We met when I was visiting Jessica" Rachel explained.
"So that's what kept you there for this long" Mindy teased. Ross and Rachel smiled shyly. Barry just listened to the conversation.
"Everybody please gather around the table.. It's time to cut the cake" They heard Sandra announcing.
(...)
After the cake cutting, Ross took Rachel outside the living room for some privacy. Before he could say anything, she asked "Are you having fun at the party?"
"Yeah but.. there's something bothering me Rach"
Rachel got worried. "What is it, Sweetie?"
"You didn't tell me your ex was gonna come to this party"
"Who, Barry?" He nodded. "Ross.. he was a family friend before he was even my boyfriend" Rachel explained. Ross didn't say anything.
"And I'm with you now. He doesn't matter" Rachel continued. Ross still remained silent. This bothered Rachel.
"Is there something else, Ross?" Rachel asked seeing the look on his face.
He just looked at her. How could he lie to her? He had to tell her what he was thinking. "Uhh.. Promise not to judge me"
"Then don't give me a reason to"
"Rachel.. your lifestyle is so different than mine. I mean.. your status.. your house.. even your friend circle.. its so.." He moved his eyes past her to think of the correct word but settled on "-rich. I can't shower you with expensive presents on every date. I'm sure that Barry would have done that with you" He said thinking about the watch the guy wore. It would have to be at least a thousand dollars, he thought.
Rachel was shocked to hear these words from Ross. What did he want to say?
"Ross.. Why do you think I love you?" Rachel asked sternly. Ross kept his mouth shut. "Do you really think I expect expensive things from you everytime we meet? I mean.. how could you even think like that? Yes.. Barry did shower me with presents almost everyday in our three month long relationship, but even then I could not bring myself to love him. Do you know why?" Ross shook his head. "Because he never did the things that really mattered to me. For one thing, he always brought orchids for me, even after knowing that I liked-"
"Oriental Lilies" Ross cut her. Rachel nodded. "Yes. And you... You make me happy, Ross. Whatever you do, you do it with your heart. There's a meaning to it. It's not just to impress me" Ross was on the verge of crying. Rachel kept both her hands on his cheeks and continued "Oh.. and I can't even begin to explain how empty I would have felt inside, if I had gone to Paris.. and never met you" A single tear made its way down his cheek, feeling which Rachel wiped it.
"Thanks Rach. You cleared all my doubts. I love you" He quickly kissed her on the wrist, still staring into her eyes. She smiled. "I know you do. Now come on. Let's go back to the party"
The next morning, Ross was all ready to go back to his dorm at NYU. He had initially planned to leave by 7 but Sandra insisted he had breakfast with them. After eating, Ross and Rachel excused themselves so that Ross could go.
They stood infront of his car devoid of any expressions, just staring at each other. Both knew they had to wait for a week to see other again. "So.." Ross said.
"So.." Rachel said expectantly.
"I guess I'll see you soon"
"You better"
Ross came forward to hug her. "I'll miss you" Rachel closed her eyes, to savour the feeling of his body against hers. "I'll miss you too, so much. Please tell me you will call me regularly"
"Every day" He answered smiling. They pulled away and Ross kissed her on the forehead. They remained like that for a while, with eyes closed, hand in hand. He moved back. "Take care" She nodded and kissed him on the cheek. He got into his car, blew her a kiss and drove off, not wanting to cry in front of her.
Rachel went inside after wiping her face off of tears and joined her family on the table. She cut some bacon and put in her plate. "Are you alright, Sweet pea?" Dr Greene asked.
"Mm-hmm" She purred. "Oh.. and daddy.. thank you"
"For what?"
"For letting Ross stay here for your birthday party. I wanted to invite him but didn't know how you would react" She explained.
"Rachel.. you could have invited anybody you want"
"But Ross is not just 'anybody', Daddy" It was not rude, she said in a tone which let Leonard know how much his daughter was going to miss her boyfriend.
"I understand, sweetheart. So tell me when do you have to go back to your dorms?"
"Umm.. by 5th I guess" She said thinking.
"Aww... Ray Ray is going to be missed so much" Jill spoke up to tease her sister. "Yeall we should have thanked Ross for being in the right place at the right time and meeting our sister" Amy joined her. Rachel shot them a look. Sandra just waved her younger daughters in a way to shoo them off. They giggled hard, annoying Rachel even more.
