What if Rachel never found out about Chloe?...my first attempt at this type of fic.Please Review.so it begins at tow The Morning After.

Ross Geller sat at the edge of his bed listening to the rumbling of Chloe in the bathroom. Feeling everything from regret to anger to anxiety he held his head in his hands." Coffee" he thought, " I need to drink some coffee."
As he stood the effects of the hangover really hit him. When he got to the kitchen he quickly set up his coffee maker and awaited the finished product. He was looking at his phone thinking, " I should call her" when he noticed the flashing light of the answering machine. The message Rachel left broke his heart. " What have I done?" he thought to himself as the message continued to play.

" I think I'll come by before work tomorrow at around 8:00."

Ross grabbed the small, white clock that sat on his bar. 7:56 it showed as the minutes continued to fly by. " Chloe," he had to get her out.

" Chloe," Ross called nervously, " How's it coming?"

" What kind of puppy should I get?" Chloe said nonchalantly as she strode out of the bedroom.

" Um.. I don't know a big one."

" My apartment's kinda small."

" Okay then a small one."

" Have you seen my shoe?"

Ross, knowing it was nearly 8:00, quickly began digging through his couch in panic mode. Finally his found it.

" Got it."

" Great thanks."

" So I'll see you around," Ross replied as he opened the door and showed Chloe out.

" Bye Ross."

Ross shut the door and sighed in relief. The smell of coffee brewing reminded him that the coffee was done. He poured himself a good size cup and slowly sipped it. He enjoyed the serenity of the moment. "Knock, Knock."

"I love you. Can you ever forgive me?" said Rachel as soon as Ross had let her into the apartment. Ross remained silent.

"My job is just that a job. You are my." Rachel emotion got the best of her as she tried to declare her undying love for Ross. Not knowing what to say Ross slowly wrapped his arms around his beloved and held her. When her crying subsided she broke the hug and innocently asked, "Can I be your girlfriend again?"

" Of course you can. I love you so much, more now than ever before. I'm so sorry that I hurt you. I promise I will never do anything to hurt you again."

Rachel accepted thinking Ross was apologizing for his insane jealously, but Ross was apologizing for what he had done last night. Ross loved her so much. He couldn't lose her because of one night of meaningless sex with some random girl. He prayed to God that he would never do anything to jeopardize their relationship again, as long as God would ensure that Rachel would never find out about his indiscretions.

Things easily went back to normal. Ross and Rachel were together and the world was right, at least for the gang. Ross could sometimes forget about what he did, but always was in the back of his mind. He lived with the constant fear that Rachel would find out and he would lose her. He couldn't ever let that happen.

More 2 come 2morrow. Pleaz RnR. Thanks!!
