Disclaimer: i own none of these characters.
Chapter 4: Finally together
Phoebe's apartment
Ross was in Phoebe's room watching her sleep. he couldn't believe that they had actually kissed last night. THough what seemed even more unbelievable to him was the fact that he actually remembered the kiss from last night. But how could he not? It was so increadible and it had meant so much to him.
Ross leaned in closer to her and gave her a gentle kiss on her lips. Phoebe quickly rose at this knocking her head with Ross's. They both fell back and yelled at the pain, rubbing their heads.
"Um, Ross? Whatcha doin'?" Asked Phoebe confused.
"Well, watching you sleep actually." Ross confessed to her still rubbing his forehead.
"Oh, yea, sorry bout that." Phoebe sleepily mentioned pointing to Ross's head.
"No, no. My fault. You just looked so, so pretty and peaceful sleeping there." Ross smiled at Phoebe and slowly brushed some hair from her face. "So, um, I have a question for you sleeping beauty." He continued to smile and left his hand near her cheek.
She began to blush at how attentive Ross was being to her. "Ok, well go ahead sleeping beauty watcher!" Phoebe retorted feeling smart.
"Well, I want you to move in with me." Ross had been thinking of how to ask her all morning and his last decision, which was one of many, had been to be blunt with her. Just put it on the table, get it out there.
"Wow, um, Ross. Where is this coming from?" Phoebe wanted this very much and for so long, but she knew he couldn't possibly remember last night.
"From that kiss last night. Our kiss. Phoebe, I've wanted you for so long, but couldn't figure how to tell you how I feel, but last night, it just all came together. And now I know you feel the same for me. I felt it in the kiss we shared. I mean, you do care for me too right?" Ross realized he had been rambling and he still hadn't let Phoebe answer his question.
"Well, Ross to be honest I don't care for. I love you and have for as long as I can remember. You're sweet, funny, caring, and smart! You're amazing!" She smiled up at holding his cheek in her hand. "Yes, Ross. I will marry you!" Phoebe leaned up and hugged and kissed Ross.
"Whoa, wait! Phoebe. I didn't say........" The last thing Ross wanted to do right now was embarrass her or ruin anything that they could start.
"Oh, right. I guess I wasn't really listening very well." Phoebe let go of Ross and just looked away.
"But ya know what?" Ross began. "Maybe. I think that this might work! Phoebe I think I really do want to marry you!" Ross stood up from the bed and kneeled down beside her and the bed. Phoebe smiled down at not believing what might be coming. "Phoebe, Pheebs, will you marry me?" Ross held her hand due to the fact that he lacked a ring for her.
Monica's apartment
Monica and Rachel were sitting on their couch flipping through the channels when Chandler walked into the apartment.
"Hey girls." He said cautiously not knowing exactly how to act around Rachel now. "Oh, uh, Mon. Joey asked me to send you over there. He says he has a question about the toaster." Chandler gave the girls a look that seemed to say typical Joey.
"Oh, um. Ok then." Monica got up from her spot on the couch next to Rachel an left for Joey's.
Chandler jumped up and sat in Monica's vacant seat. "So, last night was fun eh?"
"Well yea, I thought so, but I was a little disappointed when i woke and you were gone." Rachel explained with a little irritation in her voice. She hadn't even looked at Chandler since he came in. She only kept her eyes on the television, which at the moment was a commercial for snuggles the fabric softener, which apparently now came in jumbo size. "Now really, I mean who needs that much fabric softener?!"
"Listen, Rach. I'm sorry about that. But I wasn't sure if you ready for anyone to know about us yet. I'm sure Monica would realize that something was going on the moment I left you're room at 8 in the morning. There is still an 'us' right?" Chandler began to worry that another one of his stupid screw ups would end an amazing relationship with someone he cared for so much.
"Ok. I'm sorry. You're right. And yes, I still want there to be an 'us'. I will not let this go. Not now, after we have waited for so long." Rachel looked into his eyes and they began to kiss.
Joey's apartment.
"Problems with the toaster again Joe?" Monica asked upon entering the apartment.
"Well, no actually." Joey confessed. "I think we need to talk about yesterday. Monica, I'm not going to forget that happened. And I won't let you forget either. You know we should be together Mon. You know it, and neither of us can deny it. That kiss was amazing. And I think we should kiss more often!" Joey had had his speech all planned out but the moment she entered his apartment he had forgotten it all.
Monica just stood near the doorway looking from Joey to the floor. She then walked toward him still without saying a word. Monica took Joey's face in both her hand and kissed him on the mouth. "So why didn't you tell me this sooner?" She demanded.
"Well cuz then we wouldn't be so excited to do this." And they kissed again excited to be together and to kiss. "Hey, um, i know we just hooked up. But can we go tell Chandler an Rachel?"
"Yea. Let's go share the news." There was no way either of them could keep this kind of information from their best friends for long.
As Joey and Monica entered Mon's apartment, they caught Rachel and Chandler making out on the couch.
"Well it looks like they have news too." Monica confirmed with Joey who only nodded.
"Oh, um hey guys." Rachel and Chandler said peaking over the edge of the couch.
"So, uh, what's going on?" Joey asked crossing his arms looking excited.
"We're together." Confirmed Chandler both he and Rachel getting up off the couch to meet with Monica and Joey.
"But what's going with you two?" Asked Rachel in an accusing tone. "Don't think I didn't notice the hand holding when you came in!" Rachel was happy to catch them as well.
"Dude, are you guys?!" Chandler asked Joey but not finishing his sentence.
"We are. Were together!" Cried Joey hugging Chandler. Rachel and Monica hugged as well, knowing how much the other wanted each of their new loves.
They all exchanged their congradulations, and the basic, 'I'm so happy for you' sentiments. But afterwards they all began to feel awkward with the new situation.
"Um, hey Joe? Wanna go get some coffee?" Monica offered as an excuse taking his hand.
"Love to." Joey smile down at her, giving her a light kiss on the nose and head down to Central Perk.
The moment they left Chandler offered his own idea. "Hey Rach? Wanna go make out some more?" Chandler sounded cheerful and ready for the obvious response.
"Love to." She mimicked Joey. They both giggled together and flopped themselves back onto the couch for another make-out session.
So how was that. Just a little over due I know, but there it is. Please R+R, I love them. And they convince me to write more chapters more often.
