BOYS & GIRLS - Chapter 4
It had been six months since Steve and Rachel broke up,a new year of college had started and a lot of things had changed.The main change had happened on a trip the gang took to the beach that summer.Just out of the blue Phoebe and Joey hooked up,altough they're always saying they don't have a relationship cause they are both'free spirits',the other 4 friends agree that they'd never seen those two happier than now.On the other hand Chandler's mom had giving him an appartment near the University."Just to make her feel better,like she's giving me a home or something",said Chandler when he got the keys.Anyhow he moved out the house he shared with Ross,and Joey moved out with him cause he hadn't been able to get any stable job,so wasn't making enough money to afford rent.Ross had been looking for new roomates ever since the new college year started cause he wasn't able to afford it by himself.Phoebe had dropped college and started to work as masseusse.She had to left the dorms and went to live with her grandma,who lived a couple of blocks away from Ross' house.Ross and Rachel had getting closer during this time,Rachel was so thankful for been there for her after she broke up with Steve"if it wasn't for u I would never get out of that dark hole I was"she said to him several times.They were great friends,but that was all,Rachel had gone back to not wanting a relationship and Ross was happy to be there for her everytime she needed her.
The gang was hanging out at the Central Perk
"I don't know what to do"said Ross"I can't afford rent all by myself"
"Haven't found roommates yet dude?"asked Joey
"No, he did find, the problem is his roommates are the whole invisible family"replied sarcasticly Chandler
Everybody just gave Chandler a look
"No Joe, I haven't found a roommate yet,and if I don't find anyone quickly I'll have to move out"said concerned Ross
"I know!,Mon and Rach can live with u!" exclamed Phoebe
"What?!living with my sister again?no thank you"
"OH GOD!, they'd have me in the middle of their fights!!I'd be trapped into the little Geller dimention!" said Rachel
"You're so sweet Ross,but if u think about it, it's actually not a bad idea,our parents would be pleaced.Beside the three of us paying the rent of the house would be cheaper than the dorms" said Monica matter of factly
"What do u say Rach?"asked Ross
"I don't know if I could live there, you know" said Rachel
"But u don't have to use Ste...well, the first floor,u can sleep upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms there"said Joey while sipping his coffe
"Joey has said something smart OH MY GOD!, that's one of the signs of the apocalypse" said worried Chandler while Ross gave him look
"Joe's right,u 2 can sleep upstairs and share that bathroom and I...I can sleep downstairs and use that bathroom"
"Mmmm I like that idea,u know,having more space.Beside we practically live there anyway"said really cheered Rachel
"We do it then?"asked Monica
"Why not?"
"Great, we're roommates now!"yelled Ross while he hugged her sister and his best friend
*~*
The girls move in that very same afternoon"Ok, this is the last box and we're through"said very tired Ross
"mmm,Ross?my shoes aren't here"replied Rachel
"And believe me, those are like 4 boxes"laughed Monica
"And,and,and where the hell did u keep all this things?"said Ross surprised
"She had them distributed for like 10 or 12 bedrooms"joked Monica
"I like clothes ok?"
"Hey!,I liked girls,but I don't keep them in boxes"said Joey
"Cause none of them has let u.Rember how hard Phoebe hit u the last time you tried with her"joked Chandler
"Ok,are u guys gonna keep talking?or are u gonna get this boxes upstairs.come on! move your lazy asses,quick!"commanded Rachel
"You have spent waay too much time with Monica,u already sound like her" said laughing Phoebe
The other guys brusted into laughter and Rachel just looked worried
After the girls moved in,the gang started to hang out more in the house than the coffe house.As all of them lived really close they spent even more time together.In the begining,the Gellers fighted all the time and about everything,but after Rachel yelled at them a couple of times the life in the Geller-Greene house begun to be really nice
*~*
Ross,Chandler,Joey,Phoebe and Monica were hanging out @ the house eating pizza when Rachel entered with the hands full of bags and paper from classes.Ross stood up and helped her with all the stuff
"Let me"said Ross taking a big box from her hands
"Thanks hon" said sweetly Rachel,droping the rest of the bags in the couch
"U're gonna pick that,right?"asked Monica
"Chill out Mon.I have to tell u all something.There's a huge party a couple of blocks from here and we are all invited"Rachel was really happy about it
"When?"questioned Monica
"This saturday.We have to go, pleaase, say we will"Rachel looked like a little girl begging for a new doll "u know I love you all,but if I spend another saturday listening Ross' dinasour stories and eating pizza I'm gonna shot myself"
"I'm with u on that"said Chandler"maybe this time I'll get more dates than last time"
"Why?!how many did u get?"asked Phoebe
Chandler started couting in his head and said"well,I got a date,but it was a guy,so it doesn't count,without counting that one I had, none.It was pathetic"
"You mean that beer party we went before finnishing the last semester?"asked Joey.Chandler nodded"oow,that was a good party,there were some very drunk and very hot gir..."Phoebe gave him a look"but nothing happen"said Joey giving Phoebe a quick pick on the lips.
"So,are we going?"asked Rachel
"I'd like to"said Monica
"I would have to go to ur place though,my grandma says I'm too loud when I get back late.Unless someone here wants some Phoebe love that night"Phoebe winked at Joey who was sitting next to her
"I'm going too"said Chandler
Everybody looked at Ross"What?"he said quizzical
"u going?"asked sweetly Rachel
"Eh,well,I don't know,I have this huge test on monday,and..."
"Pleease,come on,u've studied enough,if u keep on studing u'd get too intelligent for this world.Please.For me?"begged Rachel
Ross looked at Rachel,he couldn't resist when she acted like a little girl"ok,but one condition"
"tell me"said happyly Rachel
"you have to dance with my a couple of songs"
"Ok,you got it baby"Rachel stood up from the chair"We're going to party! we're going to party!"
Everybody stared at her with a weird look on their faces
"Ok, I'll stop now,it's out of my system"
*~*
The gang arrived together to the party.The music was loud,the house was huge,everybody were dancing,laughing and having a great time,everybody except Ross.The moment he went to where Rachel was to ask her for the dances she owed him,he noticed she was"bussy"with a guy.He went to the backyard of the house and sat on a chair near the pool.Not paying attention to the music and to the laughters.Chandler saw him from the distance,and went to where he was
"Hey Ross!what's up dude?!"
"Hi.I was just,you know,thinking"replied Ross
"THINKING?you are in what it easyly could be the best party of the year,and you're here,THINKING?there are hundreath of drunk chicks,dancing practically naked,and you are here,THINKING?"
"What's your point?"asked Ross,looking at the pool
"My point is,you don't know how to have fun anymore dude,all you do is think and blow the new people away.And then you complain bout been alone,come on,let's get inside,there are gonna be tons of girls who will want to be with you,believe me, just before I came here a girl stuck her tounge down my throat" said proundly Chandler
"Good for you,but the only girl I wanna be with didn't even notice me when I stood next to her,and I don't wanna go inside to see how she makes out with a dude.And I do know how to have fun,when we're hanging out @ home I have a great time,I just feel out of place here"
"You mean Rachel?"asked Chandler
"She has spent the whole night with that italian guy,he barely can pronuce her name.I don't get her,after all she went through with Steve,she just doesn't learn"said Ross feeling kind of hurt
"You think she's gonna stop from having fun just because what happened with Steve?I hate been the one to tell you this,but she's not like u.Come on!,forget about her for a while,let's have some fun"insisted Chandler
"I've been trying to forget about her for a really long time,and believe me,it doesn't work"
"Ok.Whatever man!"Chandler patted Ross on the shoulder and went back to the party,there was no way to make him undestand when it comes to the Rachel issue
Once inside Monica approached to him a little bit drunk"CHANDLER!!.here you are"
"Are u drunk?"
"A bit.Where were u?,I've been looking around for u for a while"said Monica bouncing from one side to the other
"I was just trying to cheer ur brother up" said Chandler looking outside
"Forget about him,he's a geek,he doesn't know how to have fun"
"yeah, that's what I said to him,I kind of worried thou..." Chandler's words were abruptaly interrupted by Monica,who had grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him."What was that?"asked Chandler surprised
"I don't know,I just felt like I wanted to kiss u,so I kissed u"explained Monica
"But,but,but we don't kiss each other,I mean,we are not kissing friends,are we?"asked nervously Chandler
"We can be!"
Chandler looked at her for a moment.Surely he liked Monica,she was beautiful,nice,carrying and a great person.But did he really wanted to expose their friendship to this?
"I mean"said Monica"I've always had a thing for u,since that time u went home for thanksgivin,when you called me fat,remember?"Monica wasn't sure if it was the alcohol talking or what,but she felt like she had to get all this out of her chest"well?"
"What about our friendship?"Chandler looked at her once again"what the hell,we weren't that close anyway"he said before kissing her once again
Ross stood up and walk to the house, he was tired of been there watching how everybody was having fun while he was feeling down, he had to get the hell out of there.
Once inside the house he looked for Chandler, but he couldn't find him anywhere. Then started looking for Joey and Phoebe, but they were kind of 'bussy' and he didn't want to bother them. Monica was also really entertained with a guy, but he couldn't see who he was. Finally, he decided to look for Rachel, he stood on the first step of the stairs and looked her everywhere, without noticing a girl standing by his side, kind of nervous
"ROSS GELLER?" Yelled the girl, she had to speak loudly cause the music was loud
"YEAH!" replied Ross, not paying much attention to her, cause he was still looking for Rachel
"HI, I'M JULIE!, WE'RE IN THE SAME 'SOUTHAMERICAN FOSSILS' CLASS"
"GREAT" Ross had finally found Rachel, she was on the other room, hugging the italian guy, a guy who had just arrived from Italy to study latin. All the girls were crazy for him, his name was Paolo, but Ross didn't know that and he couldn't careless really
"I WANTED KNOW IF U WANTED DO DANCE AND..." continued Julie, but Ross interrupted her
"U KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TIME NOW... I'M LIVING, I JUST HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING TO A FRIEND AND I'LL BE OUT OF HERE" Ross excussed him and went straight to where Rachel was, all he wanted was to get Rachel out of there
"RACH... RACH... RACHEL!!" called out Ross
Rachel looked at him, smile and let go of Paolo's arms "ROSS!!... LOOK PAOLO!! IS ROSS!!" said Rachel with a drunk voice
"Are u drunk?" asked Ross concerned
"ME? DRUNK? just a bit dizzy... not drunk... I'm having a great time here. Paolo is such a sweety"
Ross looked at Paolo really mad "I can see that, that's why he let you drink so much. Do you want me to take you home?, I'm leaving" offered Ross
"No!!, I'm having a great time... I don't wanna go!" said Rachel like a spolied litte girl
"Ok" said Ross kind of pissed "I'm leaving alone then"
"U'RE SO BOARING!" yelled Rachel at him while he was leaving the room, after hugging Paolo again.
Ross turned around and left the house. He walked a couple of blocks and got home quickly. He knew he and Rachel weren't together, and that never happened anything between them, but he couldn't help feeling cheated on. He always thought he would be the next guy Rachel'd date, he thought that she would realize how much he loved her and cared about her, but no... she had to go back to those guys who didn't deserve her, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
Once in the house he took of his jacket and sat on the couch, turned on the tv and stare at it without watching it, all he could thought about was Rachel getting far and far away once again. Without noticing he fell asleep in the couch with the tv on, to tired to keep on thinking and too sick of feeling so down
*~*
It was 6 o'clock in the morning when Rachel got home from the party "I'm gonna have the worst hang over ever" she thought. As she entered to the house she realized Monica hadn't been home yet, she saw her with a guy before leaving the party with Paolo, and it seemed like everything had turned out great for her friend cause her jacket wasn't in the place where she always kept it and neither were her keys. She passed by the living and saw the tv on "Ross went to sleep and forgot turning off the tv again" she tought. She turned off the tv and saw Ross sleeping on the couch, she stare at her for a moment and then went to get a blanket to cover him. She covered him with the blanket, took his shoes off, kissed in the forehead and kneel down beside him. She loved him so much, he was the best friend she'd ever had, in a different way than Monica, of course. She knew Ross would get mad at her once he new about her and Paolo
"This is just what I need now, no feelings, no strings attached, just sex" she stroke his hair and said "I owe u a dance". She kissed him on the forehead once again, stood up and went upstairs to try to catch some sleep
*~*
Ross woke up on the couch and notice that he was with a blanket and without his shoes "I must had been Monica"
In that very same moment, Monica entered the house with her shoes on her hands, trying not to make any noise, without noticing that Ross was looking at her
"Are u just coming in?" asked Ross, taking Monica by surprise
"Ross!... eeeh... I... I went to the store" replied Monica nervously
"And why are u wearing the same clothes u were wearing yesterday and have ur shoes on ur hands?... or u're gonna tell me that u went to the store cause u needed old shoes?" asked intrigued Ross
"I mean no... I... I... I" rambled nervously Monica
"MON!" said Ross strongly, Monica looked at him "where did u spend the night?"
"At Chandler's... I got drunk, and he took me to his place and took care of me the whole night" Monica was trying really hard not to meet his brother's eyes
"Uff... u scared me!!, I thought u spent the night with that guy u were dancing with yestarday" said Ross relieved "Have u seen Rachel?"
"No... I haven't, last night she disappeared... but I guess she's sleeping in her room"
"Mmm... I hope so"
*~*
Rachel woke up and stare at the cealling for a while, she couldn't believe she didn't have hang over, specially after all she had drank the night before. She stretched and got out of bed, she was really hungry. She passed by Monica's room and notice she hadn't slept there "It looks like the two of us got lucky last night" said to herself.
Once she was downstairs she saw her friend leaving the kitchen
"u have to tell me EVERYTHING" demanded Rachel, grabbing Monica by the arm
"Everything about what?" asked Monica looking werdly at Rachel
"The guy!!, his name, how old is he?, where is he from?, where does he live?, what is his major?... u know... how was it... EVERYTHING!!"
"What... what guy Rachel?" Monica hated lying to her friends, but this time there wasn't another way out
"u know....last night guy, the party... the one u were making out with? the one you spent the night with..." said Rachel, trying to read Monica's expresion.
"Chandler?" asked Ross, comming out from the kitchen
"What has Chandler to do here?" asked confused Rachel
"Monica spent the night at Chandler's, she got drunk, and he took her to his place when she passed out" explained Ross
"So, there wasn't a guy?" asked Rachel dissapointed "And what happed with that one u were kissing so passionatly with?"
"WHAT?!" asked Monica and Ross at the same time
"u saw me?" asked worried Monica
"What?, u were kissing with a guy?" asked Ross, looking very serious at his little sister, when it was something to do with his little sister love life he was very protective
"Ross, ur sister is 21, not 12!... and yes Mon, I saw u, I couldn't see what he looked like tough, cause ur head was blocking me... and well, I was a little bit drunk... but I cought the whole show"
Monica sighed in releaved, her secret was safe now
"Well.... and?" asked Ross
"And what?" asked Monica
"What happened with that guy?" asked Rachel
"I don't know... I can't remember, I was drunk. Would u excuse me now... I wanna go lay down for a while, my head is killing me" and with that she went upstairs leaving Ross and Rachel without understand anything
"Anyway...." said Ross "Want some breakfast?"
"Ok, I'm starving... u're gonna make it?"
"Yes... cause I really wanna eat... u're not much of a cooker"
"Hey!... that's not fair... I make a very good Mac&Cheese"
"Yes Rach, u make a really good Mac&Cheese, but now we're having breakfast and we're not eating that" joked Ross
"I know, I know, I was just saying"
"So, it'll be a late with a couple of toast and a glass of orange juice... ow, and the late without sugar" Ross winked at Rachel, letting her know he knew exactly what she liked for breakfast
"u're amazing... thanks" said surprised Rachel
"Amazing?, why?" asked Ross
"cause u know, nobody knows me like u do... and u're always preoccupied about me having what I want and u take so much care of me.... thanks!. U make me think that the perfect guy really exist" said Rachel looking into his eyes, and then gave him a kiss on the chick and hugged him
Ross blushed "U... u don't have to thank me Rach, I do it pleased... well, do u want some breakfast or not?" said quickly changing the subject
"Yes, of course" said Rachel while she followed him into the kitchen

He knew he and Rachel weren't together, and that never happened anything between them, but he couldn't help feeling cheated on. He always thought he would be the next guy Rachel'd date, he thought that she would realize how much he loved her and cared about her, but no... she had to go back to those guys who didn't deserve her, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
Once in the house he took of his jacket and sat on the couch, turned on the tv and stare at it without watching it, all he could thought about was Rachel getting far and far away once again. Without noticing he fell asleep in the couch with the tv on, to tired to keep on thinking and too sick of feeling so down
*~*
It was 6 o'clock in the morning when Rachel got home from the party "I'm gonna have the worst hang over ever" she thought. As she entered to the house she realized Monica hadn't been home yet, she saw her with a guy before leaving the party with Paolo, and it seemed like everything had turned out great for her friend cause her jacket wasn't in the place where she always kept it and neither were her keys. She passed by the living and saw the tv on "Ross went to sleep and forgot turning off the tv again" she tought. She turned off the tv and saw Ross sleeping on the couch, she stare at her for a moment and then went to get a blanket to cover him. She covered him with the blanket, took his shoes off, kissed in the forehead and kneel down beside him. She loved him so much, he was the best friend she'd ever had, in a different way than Monica, of course. She knew Ross would get mad at her once he new about her and Paolo
"This is just what I need now, no feelings, no strings attached, just sex" she stroke his hair and said "I owe u a dance". She kissed him on the forehead once again, stood up and went upstairs to try to catch some sleep
*~*
Ross woke up on the couch and notice that he was with a blanket and without his shoes "I must had been Monica"
In that very same moment, Monica entered the house with her shoes on her hands, trying not to make any noise, without noticing that Ross was looking at her
"Are u just coming in?" asked Ross, taking Monica by surprise
"Ross!... eeeh... I... I went to the store" replied Monica nervously
"And why are u wearing the same clothes u were wearing yesterday and have ur shoes on ur hands?... or u're gonna tell me that u went to the store cause u needed old shoes?" asked intrigued Ross
"I mean no... I... I... I" rambled nervously Monica
"MON!" said Ross strongly, Monica looked at him "where did u spend the night?"
"At Chandler's... I got drunk, and he took me to his place and took care of me the whole night" Monica was trying really hard not to meet his brother's eyes
"Uff... u scared me!!, I thought u spent the night with that guy u were dancing with yestarday" said Ross relieved "Have u seen Rachel?"
"No... I haven't, last night she disappeared... but I guess she's sleeping in her room"
"Mmm... I hope so"
*~*
Rachel woke up and stare at the cealling for a while, she couldn't believe she didn't have hang over, specially after all she had drank the night before. She stretched and got out of bed, she was really hungry. She passed by Monica's room and notice she hadn't slept there "It looks like the two of us got lucky last night" said to herself.
Once she was downstairs she saw her friend leaving the kitchen
"u have to tell me EVERYTHING" demanded Rachel, grabbing Monica by the arm
"Everything about what?" asked Monica looking werdly at Rachel
"The guy!!, his name, how old is he?, where is he from?, where does he live?, what is his major?... u know... how was it... EVERYTHING!!"
"What... what guy Rachel?" Monica hated lying to her friends, but this time there wasn't another way out
"u know....last night guy, the party... the one u were making out with? the one you spent the night with..." said Rachel, trying to read Monica's expresion.
"Chandler?" asked Ross, comming out from the kitchen
"What has Chandler to do here?" asked confused Rachel
"Monica spent the night at Chandler's, she got drunk, and he took her to his place when she passed out" explained Ross
"So, there wasn't a guy?" asked Rachel dissapointed "And what happed with that one u were kissing so passionatly with?"
"WHAT?!" asked Monica and Ross at the same time
"u saw me?" asked worried Monica
"What?, u were kissing with a guy?" asked Ross, looking very serious at his little sister, when it was something to do with his little sister love life he was very protective
"Ross, ur sister is 21, not 12!... and yes Mon, I saw u, I couldn't see what he looked like tough, cause ur head was blocking me... and well, I was a little bit drunk... but I cought the whole show"
Monica sighed in releaved, her secret was safe now
"Well.... and?" asked Ross
"And what?" asked Monica
"What happened with that guy?" asked Rachel
"I don't know... I can't remember, I was drunk. Would u excuse me now... I wanna go lay down for a while, my head is killing me" and with that she went upstairs leaving Ross and Rachel without understand anything
"Anyway...." said Ross "Want some breakfast?"
"Ok, I'm starving... u're gonna make it?"
"Yes... cause I really wanna eat... u're not much of a cooker"
"Hey!... that's not fair... I make a very good Mac&Cheese"
"Yes Rach, u make a really good Mac&Cheese, but now we're having breakfast and we're not eating that" joked Ross
"I know, I know, I was just saying"
"So, it'll be a late with a couple of toast and a glass of orange juice... ow, and the late without sugar" Ross winked at Rachel, letting her know he knew exactly what she liked for breakfast
"u're amazing... thanks" said surprised Rachel
"Amazing?, why?" asked Ross
"cause u know, nobody knows me like u do... and u're always preoccupied about me having what I want and u take so much care of me.... thanks!. U make me think that the perfect guy really exist" said Rachel looking into his eyes, and then gave him a kiss on the chick and hugged him
Ross blushed "U... u don't have to thank me Rach, I do it pleased... well, do u want some breakfast or not?" said quickly changing the subject
"Yes, of course" said Rachel while she followed him into the kitchen
