Author's note - Ok, so it takes me a while to post things, it shouldn't take me as long if I have another chapter, I've just had a hectic past two weeks, and I'm sorry. I'd like to thank you all for reviewing and I know I kept you all waiting, but here it is, chapter two.
A.N.: Someone mentioned that some people can't get their licenses until they are sixteen. I live in North Dakota, and you can get your license in the 8th grade, you just have to have your permit* which u can get the day you turn fourteen* for six months, plus you have to have taken Drivers Ed, so a lot of people have a license around that time.
Ok, I decided to skip ahead a couple of years and know Ross has just graduated from high school and is attending college. Rachel and Monica are Seniors in High School. That's about all I have to say for now. On with the story
----------
Rachel was sitting in her seventh hour Psychology class. Time seemed to be creeping by, inching its way until school let out for Christmas break. Her parents were going to Seattle for the holiday and they were taking Jill with her. Rachel wanted to spend her Christmas here in the city, since she had gone to Seattle every year so far. She wanted to stay and see what it was like in New York. Monica's parents had agreed to let her stay with them during the break, so she wouldn't have to stay in her house all alone.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the final bell rang, and Rachel nearly ran to her locker. She couldn't wait to get out of here, and plus, she didn't want that geek Floyd Berkly asking her to prom, she would much rather go with Chip Mattews, and even he wasn't all that great.
She pulled up into her garage and got out. She decided to stop by and pick up a few things before she went to Monica's. Since her family took her dad's suburban, she got to take her mom's Mustang Convertible this weekend, or however long until they got back. She grabbed her bags and got into the car and headed for Monica's. She figured she didn't have to go straight to her house, so she went for a nice little cruise.
Finally she pulled up to Monica's house and got out her stuff. She saw Ross's Jeep in the driveway and remembered that college kids get out earlier than high schoolers. She walked in the door to see Monica baking cookies.
Monica - Hey Rachel, how's your day been?
Rach - Great, Hey, ya know what, I'm a little tired, so I'm gonna lay down and take a little nap, is that all right with you?
Monica - Ya, of course its fine, go right ahead.
----------
Ross was in his room looking up things on the internet, when he heard the front door open. Then he remembered his parent's telling him that Rachel was staying at their place during the break. He didn't mind of course, he loved spending as much time as he could with her. Over the years since she moved here, they had grown closer together. He had a major crush on her, but he didn't tell her that, because it seemed like she only liked him as a friend.
He looked at his computer again and got back to work, but was not completely on task, his mind kept wandering to Rachel, who was now in the next room. He figured he'd go talk to her, he wasn't going to get anything else done until he did anyways.
----------
Rachel was lying on the bed reading a book for English. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door.
Ross - Its me
Rach - come on in
Ross walks into the room and sits n the other side of the bed.
Rach - So, Hey, how's school been going for ya?
Ross - Its been ok I guess, It isn't as difficult as I thought it would be.
Rach - Well, That's because you're an over achiever, and nothing is ever hard for you.
Ross - Well, that's exaggerating just a bit.
Rach - Ya, but just a bit, I really wanna catch up with you, but I have to read this book for English and I don't want to put it off until the last day.
Ross - Oh, I understand, I'll see ya later tonight then, ok
Rach - All right
Ross leaves and Rachel is left back to her book, but she can't read it, all she can think about is how different Ross looks. She hadn't seen him for around 2 months, and he looked the same, except, he seemed, older. She knew he had a major crush on her, well, everyone knew that, but what they didn't know, was that she secretly like him as well. She never let anyone know this, because she wasn't sure if her feelings were strong enough to act upon. She sat there and thought about him until dinner.
----------
At dinner, Monica sat in between Ross and Rachel, as they all ate they food Monica had made. Jack and Judy were out of town on a business trip for a week, but they had a two and a half week vacation, so they weren't going to be gone the entire time, they'd be back in time for Christmas.
Monica - So, how do you guys like it?
Rachel - Well, I've never had chicken prepared this way before, but it isn't that bad
Ross - Ditto
They eat in silence for a few minutes.
Rachel - Well, I'm still kind of out of it, so I'm going to get to bed early tonight
Mon & Ross - Alright/fine by me
Rachel goes upstairs and lies in bed. She doesn't know what is wrong, she's never been like this before, she was always able to put Ross at the back of her thoughts, but now, he just kept pushing his way into them. She couldn't explain it, it was all happening so sudden.
----------
It's the next day and Rachel is out for her morning run. She isn't really familiar with this neighborhood, so she just sticks with the block Monica and Ross live on, considering it is pretty big.
When she's done she goes inside to take another shower. When she comes out she spot's Ross's door open and decides to go in and talk with him.
Rach - Knock, Knock
Ross - Oh, hey, come on in
Rachel - Ok
Ross - So, how have things been going for you?
Rachel - They've been going pretty good actually, I actually made the honor roll this year.
Ross - Hey Rach, that's so good
They sit in his room and talk for another hour or so, finally Rachel realizes she has a basketball game she needs to be at in an hour.
Rach - Oh shoot, I gotta go, I'm head cheerleader, and this is our last game for 3 weeks.
Ross - Oh, ok, you need a ride
Rach - Ya, sure, that'd be great
Ross drives Rachel to the game and decides to watch it. He doesn't realize that it has been two hours until the final buzzer goes off. He had been watching Rachel the entire time. He knew he should've been doing something more constructive with his time. Rachel would never go for a geek like him, besides, they were only friends.
----------
The next few days Rachel and Ross spend as much time together as possible. Monica doesn't mind much because she can see what is happening, but they don't quite see it yet. She knows that with a little help, they will both see it. She knows they both like each other as more than friends, but Rachel thinks she doesn't know.
She calls the floral shop and plans some flowers to be delivered that day
----------
Rachel was sitting in her room reading her book again. Ross was at the store, she wasn't sure why though. All of a sudden she heard the doorbell ring, so she got up to answer it. She saw Monica in the kitchen, whipping up something for dinner again. Man, could she cook.
When she opened the door, she saw a man holding a dozen white roses.
Man - Are you Rachel Green?
Rach - Ya, that's me
Man - These are for you
Rach - They're beautiful, who are they from?
Man - Sorry miss, there's no card Rach - Oh, ok, thanks anyways.
Rachel walks back into the house and notices Monica is still cooking. Rachel knows only Monica and Ross know her favorite type of flower. The only question is if Mon sent them, or if it was really Ross.
-----------
Ross walked into the house, Monica had told him about the flowers, and he was going to act like he sent them. He was starting to believe that he had some kind of chance with Rachel, and he was going to go after it full force.
Ross - Hey Rach, How did you like your flowers?
Rach - Those were from you, they are beautiful.
Ross - I know, they're your favorite, and beautiful, just like you (A.N. - I know its corny but I'm tired and I can't think of anything else)
Rach - That's so sweet
She goes to hug him, and as she's pulling away he kisses her. She is startled at first, but easily gets into it. All of a sudden she pulls back.

Ok, horrible way to end it, I know, but I'm tired. Please Read and Review. Thanx
