BOYS & GIRLS - Chapter 6
"Ok. everything's ready" said Ross approaching to Rachel, who was sitting on the couch "I told Julie you needed a little bit of Ross to cheer you up"
"She didn't get upset?"
"Why would she?" asked Ross
"Cause if you were my boyfriend I wouldn't like you to be going out with other girls" replied Rachel, matter of factly
"Well... that would be a complete different scenario, cause if you were my girlfriend you wouldn't need someone else to cheer you up, cause I would never let you down Rach. Beside, you're one of the most importants girl in my life, and Julie knows that" Ross kissed her forehead and smiled at her
Rachel smiled him back, feeling that everything Ross was saying was true
"What do you say if we go to see 'Moulin Rouge'?" asked Rachel grining
"But the idea in this whole going to the movies thing is to cheer you up... isn't that a sad movie?"
"I don't know... but it's a musical... and musical aren't sad... right?"
"Rach... how many musicals do you know?"
"mmm... Grease?"
"Rachel Karen Greene... you live in New York and never have seen another musical beside 'Grease'." Said Ross joking "it's ok, if you wanna watch 'Moulin Rouge' we'll go to see 'Moulin Rouge', but I'm sure I read somewhere that it was a sad movie"
"Beside... Ewan Mcgregor is in it" said Rachel smiling
"oooh... there's the real reson"
*~*
Ross and Rachel left the movie theatre and Rachel was crying. Both were walking to the house, Ross was hugging her, trying to confort her
"Rach, it was just a movie"
"I know... but... but... what if it's true?"
"What?!... that people can start singing whenever they want?" said joking Ross
"No Ross..." Rachel stopped walking, leaned against against a wall and crossed her arms around her chest "it's just... she lived her entire life not knowing what love was, and once she found it... she couldn't enjoy it cause she died... what... what if the same happens to me?" Rachel's voice trailed
Ross laugh at Rachel's concern "come on Rachel... you can't compare yourself with a character in a movie, specially one in a movie as weird as that one" said Ross smiling
"But what if I never found the real love... what if the real love doesn't really exist... what if the real love is just a lame joke"
"Rach, you can't jump to those conclusion just because a movie..." Ross paused for a while to think what he was about to say "Look, the problem is that you haven't chose the right guys, but you'll find the real love... I swear... I know it. You're the most wonderful girl in the world, all those guys you've been with have been the biggest jerks, they didn't know the kind of girl they had at their side. But you'll find the right guy, maybe he's closer than you think... Rach, you're the most funny, sweet, amazing, adorable, and sexy girl I've even known... God... you're so perfe..." Ross' speech was suddenly interrupted by Rachel. She couldn't resist the temptation of kissing him, so she grabbed him by the shirt before he could finnish what he was saying, and kissed him, taking him by surprise. As she was hearing was Ross was saying all she could think about was that he was the most wonderful guy on earth, and she didn't wanna lose him, so, as in many other ocations before, she just let herself go... doing what really was in her heart, letting the heart rule her head without thinking what was gonna happen after that kiss ended. In that moment the only thing she knew for sure was that she couldn't live without Ross, and that this kiss was the only right thing she had done in a very long time.
At first she felt him nervouse, surprised and a bit uncomfortable, but once he sunk into the kiss, she felt that was the most romantic and sweet kiss she has ever had. After a while of not knowing what to do with his hands, he placed them in her hips as hers travelled from his back to his hair. Everything was magic, the time stood still in the very moment their lips touched, and the kissed seemed last forever.
Ross broke the kiss thinking this was another dream. "Wow" was all he managed to say, trying to catch his breath, still holding her really close
"I know... I" Ross put his forefinger in her lips and kissed her again, this time without feeling the nervousness of the first time, feeling more confident. All this made this kiss more passioned than the first one
This time was Rachel who broke the kiss
"Wanna go home?" she asked quietly and slow, with her forehead leaned against his, trying to catch her breath while looking into his eyes.
*~*
Both entered the house and kept on kissing, making sure Monica wasn't there and lied down on the couch. None of them said anything, they knew that words could ruin the moment. Once in the couch the kisses became yet more passioned... both knew where they were going and didn't want to stop
"Not here" said Rachel slowly as Ross kissed her neck "Monica could entered"
"You're right... let's go to my room" said Ross, still kissing her neck
"No.. I.. I couldn't... let's go to mine"
Ross took her on his arms and carry on kissing each other as they went upstairs. Once in the room, they just let themselves go, leaving all inivitions aside... and just enjoing the moment
*~*
It was still dark when Rachel woke up. She looked at Ross sleeping on her side, everything had been amazing, but now she felt guilty "did I use Ross to cheer me up?" she asked herself, not knowing how to answered. Being with Ross made her felt like she had never felt before, yet she thought something was wrong there "I don't wanna hurt him... another mistake Rachel!!.... how did you let this happen?!... but if it was a mistake... why does it feel so good?... come on Rachel... is Ross, he had always made you feel things no one else had, he has always been that special, and that gorgeous, and that sweet". She looked at him once again and decided to just enjoy the moment and worry about the rest in the morning "he looks like an angel when he's asleep". She kissed him on the lips, hugged him and went back to sleep
*~*
The next morning Rachel woke up and looked at Ross who was still deeply asleep. "He's so cute" she thought, kissing his forehead, put some clothes on and left the room. She had to get out of there, she couldn't face Ross until she has cleared out the meaning of everything that happened the night before. She looked at the watch and saw it was 9 o'clock, her first class started at 10. She got into the shower still not able to think of something else than Ross' kisses.
Deep down Rachel was scared, the things will never be the same between them, ever. She didn't feel ready for a relationship, and if she ventured to have one with Ross she was affraid of losing him forever. "Ross would never hurt me... he would never cheat, he's not like that" she said to herself. But wasn't exactly that what he did to Julie last night?
Rachel got out of the shower and went to the bedroom to get dress, Ross was still asleep. When she was ready to left the room, Ross woke up
"Hey gorgeous" he greeted with a smile on his face
"Hey Ross" replied Rache a little bit nervous
"Where do you go?"
"Classes"
"Don't go... stay here with me" he said grabing her by the waist, making her fall on top of him
"Ross, I REALLY have to go" replied Rachel, letting go of Ross' arms and standing up
"Are you mad?"
"I'm not mad... I'm late"
"Is it because of Julie?"
"What?... no Ross" she said sitting in the bed next to him and holding his hand "I'm not mad, really"
"cause I'm breaking up with her" he looked into her eyes "I don't cheat Rach"
"I know... but maybe this time you shouldn't say anything to her"
Rachel had a sad expresion on her face... she didn't want to hurt Ross, and wasn't complete sure of what she was doing
"Oh... I see" said Ross looking down.
*~*
Rachel left the room.Ross laid on her bed for a while,thinking.He had never felt so happy,so complete and yet so scared.Everything had been a complete surprise for him,but it had happened and it had been wonderful.Yet he was really scared of Rachel's reaction,he was complete sure she wouldn't wanna have anything else.He loved her,now there wasn't any doubt about it,but what if this had been just another night for her?what if all she wanted was just have a little fun with him like she did with Paolo.Ross stood up,put his pants on and pick up the rest of his clothe.He left the room and went downstairs trying not to make any noise,so Monica wouldn't notice him.It would be too complicated to explain her what had happen,specially when not even him understood it yet.He entered to his room,pick a couple of towels and went to the bathroom to take a shower,thinking that it may help him to clear his thoughts
When he left the badroom he saw Monica having breakfast on the table by herself
"Hey Ross.How did u sleep last night?"asked Monica smiling at her big brother
"Good.Why?"asked Ross kind of nervouse
"And Julie?how did she sleep?"
"Why should I know?"asked confused Ross
"Didn't u sleep at Julie's last night?cause when I got home last night I notice u weren't on ur bed,and that clothes you're holding in ur hand is the one u were wearing yesterday"said proudly Monica
"At Julie's?.yes.yes.I slept at Julie's.it was fine.u know.we just..sleep"rambled nervous Ross.
"OK.I was just asking"
Ross entered to his room to get dressed
"Have u seen Rachel? yelled Monica from the table area
"She's not home.she went to classes"yelled back Ross
"Classes?Rachel?that's weird"commented Monica as Ross opened his room door,and headed to the kitchen"the guy she slept with last night must have been really boaring,I mean,if she run out like that"
Hearing his sister comments Ross almost dropped the cup he was holding"WHAT?I mean wha.what guy?"
"I know she slept with somebody last night.I mean,come on,we share a wall.But it wasn't Paolo,cause I saw him last night with another girl.U know what,for what I hearded the guy was pretty good"said Monica grinning
"Really?"asked Ross really pround
"I would even said he was better than Paolo.But I have no idea who he was and the curiosity is killing me.Did u see anybody?"
"mm,no,nobody..no"replied nervously Ross"Mon..u..shouldn't ask her..maybe it was someone important for her...u know,something special..the beginning of a stable relationship...and maybe she hasn't told u anything untill feeling sure"
"It could be.Or it could be just another night stand"
Ross felt her stomach acheing "just another night stand?could be?"
*~*
Rachel arrived to the Central Perk with her head in the clouds,she didn't know what to do,or what to feel,everything had happened so fast and now she was really confused.But most than cofused she was scared,scared of having made the biggest mistake in her life,scared of making the wrong decision about this,but above all things,she was scared of losing Ross.
"Hey Rach!"greeted Monica
"Rach,I wrote a new song...wanna hear it?"asked happyly Phoebe
Rachel didn't answered.She was deep in thoughts and didn't realize her friends were talking to her
"RACH!"Monica waved her hand in front of Rachel's face
"Yeah.wha.what?"replied Rachel,snapping back to reality
"u were like in a whole different world"comented Phoebe
"Yeah.I know"
"What happened?"asked Monica
"I,I,I made a HUGE mistake I.."Rachel trailed,she couldn't tell Monica she'd slept with Ross"I was feeling kind of depress yesterday cause I caught Paolo in bed with another girl"
"Oh Rach,I'm so sorry"said Monica hugging her
"No it's ok,ur bro...I mean a friend,cheered me up.but I kinda end up sleeping with him"said Rachel feeling really guilty
"Yeah I heard"said Monica rolling her eyes
"Rachel's new lover.who's the lucky guy this time?"asked joking Phoebe
"Someone who shouldn't have been,he's a friend u guys have never met"replied Rachel nervous
"A friend of ur who we don't know?"asked Monica really curious
"Yes Mon,I have other friends,he's a classmate"
"But Rach,all ur classmates are gay"said Phoebe
"Well,he's not.Can I go on with my problem?"
"yes, go on,I'm sorry"apologized Phoebe
"Thanks Pheebs.Well,the thing is,I slept with him last night.And when I woke up today I realized that it had been a HUGE mistake.I feel like after all the bad luck I've had with relationships I'm just not ready,and I don't wanna hurt him"
"And he wants a relationship with u?"questioned Monica
"I think so.The whole sex thing is really important to him,he has said to me a thousand times he doesn't sleep with girls just because.And he has a girlfriend now,and I was the one who push him into the dating world again"
"And this misterious friend,is important to u?"asked Phoebe
"Very important.God,he's so perfect and so dreamy.He's always taking care of me,and worring about me...and he loves me so much.He's sweet,caring,gentle.And has the most wonderful eyes"said Rachel with a love expresion on her face
"I don't think u should worry that much,u're head over hills for him"
"I couldn't agree more with Phoebe"replied Monica"Ur eyes shine when u talk about him"
"In love?no,I can't be in love with him,that's impossible"
"Why is impossible?"asked Phoebe"does he has like two heads or something?"
"No but,but he's like my best friend.And u don't fall in love with ur best friend.That's like a rule or something"
"But what's so bad about falling in love with ur best friend?"asked Monica,thinking about Chandler"I think is perfect.It can be the most amazing relationship in u're whole life.He can even be the love of ur life"Phoebe and Rachel looked at her wondering what was she talking about"At least,that's what I've seen with Phoebe and Joey.Isn't it Pheebs?"
"First of all,Joey and I aren't in a relationship.We are free spirits,remember?But Monica's right,a relationship with ur best friend can be wonderful,but also really dangerous.And second of all,wasn't ur best friend Ross?"
Hearing Phoebe's comment,Rachel got even more worried and nervous than she already was.Phoebe looked at her for a while,there was something in Rachel eyes telling her she wasn't telling them everything"U SLEPT WITH ROSS!"Yelled Phoebe
"Ross?"questioned Monica"No Pheebs,she couldn't have slept with Ross cause he."Monica trailed when she saw Julie entering to the coffe house
"Hey girls"said Julie aproaching to them"has any of u seen Ross?"Monica looked at Julie a bit confused"No,I mean,I last saw him this morning,when he was arriving home from ur place"
"My place?"asked Julie oddly"Ross didn't go to my place this morning.In fact,I haven't seen him since yesterday"Monica looked at Rachel who was completetly blushed with a guilty look on her face"I was looking for him cause he called me a while ago to tell me there was something he we hended to talk.I just thought he would be here"
"No we...we haven't seen him.Sorry"said Monica
"It's ok,I'll try to call him again.Thanks girls"
"U're welcome"replied Monica as Julie left the coffehouse.Then she turned around to face Rachel"U SLEPT WITH ROSS!?...Oh my God...I can't believe I was talking about my brother this morning.How grosse!"
"What...no.no it..It wasn't Ross"lied Rachel "I told u it was a class mate...I..." Rachel looked at both of her friends and couldn't handle it anymore...she covered her face with both of her hands and started to cry "It shouldn't have happen!...ever!"
"Rach,honey please don't cry" said Monica hugging her friend "come on, don't cry.And tell us what happen.But please,no details"
"U promise you won't get mad at me Mon?"
"Why would I get mad at u hun"
"Cause...cause it's ur brother...and...u know...God...I need fresh air"
"Why don't we go for a walk and u tell us what happened?" suggested Phoebe
"Ok"
*~*
"Hii" said Ross in that special way he has entering the boys' appartment
"Wow dude...what happened?" asked Joey who was sitting on one of the chairs
"It's over"replied Ross
"What's over?"asked Chandler
"Me and Julie...I just broke up with her"
"Why?"Chandler and Joey asked amazed"I thought u were happy with her"added Chandler
"Yeah well...I thought that too,but something happened with Rachel"
"Rachel?I thought u were over her"comented Chandler
"Well no, I'm not.Specially not now,and I can't be with Julie if I'm thinking about Rachel the whole time"
"That makes sence.I'm sorry man" Chandler patted Ross on the back "I still think u have to forget about her, nothing's gonna happen and u know it"
"That's the thing man,something already happened,last night.We sort of... slept together?"
"WHAT?!"Chandler almost tripped with the news and Joey stare at Ross with the eyes wide open,so amazed that he had stopped eating the slice of pizza he was eating
"But how.I mean.wow.this is huge!!"was all Chandler could said
"I know"smiled Ross"it was amazing.If I ever had a tiny doubt about my feelings for her,well..now they're all gone..I love her man"
"U should tell her then.if something already happened,u have to tell her how you feel,she might feel the same way about u" suggested Chandler
"No, I can't tell her now.If I tell her how I feel she'll run,cause that's what she does,and I know that better than anyone,and it's the last thing I want to happen"
"But this time is different"said Joey"I mean,it's u..u're not anyone"
"I know,but I don't wanna get my hopes to high. What if this was just another night for her"
"Rach wouldn't do that to u. I mean, I've been with A LOT of women, and none of them has ever treated me like she treats you. Well, none of them except Phoebe"
"Joe is right man. You have to talk to her"
"I know I have. I'm just... scared, you know"
"I know man. Why don't we go get a coffe, maybe the girls are there, and u can talk to her already" suggested Chandler
"Good idea man"
To be continue...
"Ok. everything's ready" said Ross approaching to Rachel, who was sitting on the couch "I told Julie you needed a little bit of Ross to cheer you up"
"She didn't get upset?"
"Why would she?" asked Ross
"Cause if you were my boyfriend I wouldn't like you to be going out with other girls" replied Rachel, matter of factly
"Well... that would be a complete different scenario, cause if you were my girlfriend you wouldn't need someone else to cheer you up, cause I would never let you down Rach. Beside, you're one of the most importants girl in my life, and Julie knows that" Ross kissed her forehead and smiled at her
Rachel smiled him back, feeling that everything Ross was saying was true
"What do you say if we go to see 'Moulin Rouge'?" asked Rachel grining
"But the idea in this whole going to the movies thing is to cheer you up... isn't that a sad movie?"
"I don't know... but it's a musical... and musical aren't sad... right?"
"Rach... how many musicals do you know?"
"mmm... Grease?"
"Rachel Karen Greene... you live in New York and never have seen another musical beside 'Grease'." Said Ross joking "it's ok, if you wanna watch 'Moulin Rouge' we'll go to see 'Moulin Rouge', but I'm sure I read somewhere that it was a sad movie"

"Where do you go?"
"Classes"
"Don't go... stay here with me" he said grabing her by the waist, making her fall on top of him
"Ross, I REALLY have to go" replied Rachel, letting go of Ross' arms and standing up
"Are you mad?"
"I'm not mad... I'm late"
"Is it because of Julie?"
"What?... no Ross" she said sitting in the bed next to him and holding his hand "I'm not mad, really"
"cause I'm breaking up with her" he looked into her eyes "I don't cheat Rach"
"I know... but maybe this time you shouldn't say anything to her"
Rachel had a sad expresion on her face... she didn't want to hurt Ross, and wasn't complete sure of what she was doing
"Oh... I see" said Ross looking down.

Rachel left the room.Ross laid on her bed for a while,thinking.He had never felt so happy,so complete and yet so scared.Everything had been a complete surprise for him,but it had happened and it had been wonderful.Yet he was really scared of Rachel's reaction,he was complete sure she wouldn't wanna have anything else.He loved her,now there wasn't any doubt about it,but what if this had been just another night for her?what if all she wanted was just have a little fun with him like she did with Paolo.Ross stood up,put his pants on and pick up the rest of his clothe.He left the room and went downstairs trying not to make any noise,so Monica wouldn't notice him.It would be too complicated to explain her what had happen,specially when not even him understood it yet.He entered to his room,pick a couple of towels and went to the bathroom to take a shower,thinking that it may help him to clear his thoughts

"No but,but he's like my best friend.And u don't fall in love with ur best friend.That's like a rule or something"
"But what's so bad about falling in love with ur best friend?"asked Monica,thinking about Chandler"I think is perfect.It can be the most amazing relationship in u're whole life.He can even be the love of ur life"Phoebe and Rachel looked at her wondering what was she talking about"At least,that's what I've seen with Phoebe and Joey.Isn't it Pheebs?"
"First of all,Joey and I aren't in a relationship.We are free spirits,remember?But Monica's right,a relationship with ur best friend can be wonderful,but also really dangerous.And second of all,wasn't ur best friend Ross?"
Hearing Phoebe's comment,Rachel got even more worried and nervous than she already was.Phoebe looked at her for a while,there was something in Rachel eyes telling her she wasn't telling them everything"U SLEPT WITH ROSS!"Yelled Phoebe
"Ross?"questioned Monica"No Pheebs,she couldn't have slept with Ross cause he."Monica trailed when she saw Julie entering to the coffe house
"Hey girls"said Julie aproaching to them"has any of u seen Ross?"Monica looked at Julie a bit confused"No,I mean,I last saw him this morning,when he was arriving home from ur place"
"My place?"asked Julie oddly"Ross didn't go to my place this morning.In fact,I haven't seen him since yesterday"Monica looked at Rachel who was completetly blushed with a guilty look on her face"I was looking for him cause he called me a while ago to tell me there was something he we hended to talk.I just thought he would be here"
"No we...we haven't seen him.Sorry"said Monica
"It's ok,I'll try to call him again.Thanks girls"
"U're welcome"replied Monica as Julie left the coffehouse.Then she turned around to face Rachel"U SLEPT WITH ROSS!?...Oh my God...I can't believe I was talking about my brother this morning.How grosse!"
"What...no.no it..It wasn't Ross"lied Rachel "I told u it was a class mate...I..." Rachel looked at both of her friends and couldn't handle it anymore...she covered her face with both of her hands and started to cry "It shouldn't have happen!...ever!"
"Rach,honey please don't cry" said Monica hugging her friend "come on, don't cry.And tell us what happen.But please,no details"
"U promise you won't get mad at me Mon?"
"Why would I get mad at u hun"
"Cause...cause it's ur brother...and...u know...God...I need fresh air"
"Why don't we go for a walk and u tell us what happened?" suggested Phoebe
"Ok"
*~*
"Hii" said Ross in that special way he has entering the boys' appartment
"Wow dude...what happened?" asked Joey who was sitting on one of the chairs
"It's over"replied Ross
"What's over?"asked Chandler
"Me and Julie...I just broke up with her"
"Why?"Chandler and Joey asked amazed"I thought u were happy with her"added Chandler
"Yeah well...I thought that too,but something happened with Rachel"
"Rachel?I thought u were over her"comented Chandler
"Well no, I'm not.Specially not now,and I can't be with Julie if I'm thinking about Rachel the whole time"
"That makes sence.I'm sorry man" Chandler patted Ross on the back "I still think u have to forget about her, nothing's gonna happen and u know it"
"That's the thing man,something already happened,last night.We sort of... slept together?"
"WHAT?!"Chandler almost tripped with the news and Joey stare at Ross with the eyes wide open,so amazed that he had stopped eating the slice of pizza he was eating
"But how.I mean.wow.this is huge!!"was all Chandler could said
"I know"smiled Ross"it was amazing.If I ever had a tiny doubt about my feelings for her,well..now they're all gone..I love her man"
"U should tell her then.if something already happened,u have to tell her how you feel,she might feel the same way about u" suggested Chandler
"No, I can't tell her now.If I tell her how I feel she'll run,cause that's what she does,and I know that better than anyone,and it's the last thing I want to happen"
"But this time is different"said Joey"I mean,it's u..u're not anyone"
"I know,but I don't wanna get my hopes to high. What if this was just another night for her"
"Rach wouldn't do that to u. I mean, I've been with A LOT of women, and none of them has ever treated me like she treats you. Well, none of them except Phoebe"
"Joe is right man. You have to talk to her"
"I know I have. I'm just... scared, you know"
"I know man. Why don't we go get a coffe, maybe the girls are there, and u can talk to her already" suggested Chandler
"Good idea man"
