David, Charlie and Ross tried to fashion as much of the speech as they could.
"Well this is fun." sighed Phoebe.
"I'm hungry." whined Joey.
"You guys I feel bad. Here we are sitting here doing nothing and it is our friend's big night. Now I am going over to offer my help at typing or something." said Rachel as she got up from the chair.
"Ross? Can I help?" asked Rachel.
"Yeah remember when you used to type my papers for me? Could you do that as I dictate.?" Ross said as he held his head in his hands.
"Don't' you remember any of your own speech?" asked Charlie. She looked over at Joey and shrugged her shoulders. He just sat in the chair bored . It was starting to dawn on Charlie , maybe Joey wasn't right for her.
"Okay, shoot." Rachel said as she sat down at the computer.
"Rachel, I love you, you are saving my life." said Ross. He carefully tried to remember his points with the note cards he was going to use. The speech was completely restored.
"And that with mri 's we can bring paleontology into the twenty first century." concluded Ross.
"That's it. " squealed Charlie.
"We're done. I can't believe it." sighed Ross exhausted. "You are so great for doing this for me. I am taking you out to the fanciest dinner on the island. " Ross said as he hugged Rachel.
"It is the very least I can do for the father of my child and my best friend." smiled Rachel.
"Go get ready." he said. "Charlie I want to thank you too. Now you guys can go. David, thanks a lot." Ross said as he thanked everyone.
Rachel came back in a strapless black dress. Her hair was piled on top of her head and two silver earrings dropped from her ears.
"You look , you look." Ross tried to say. "I'm speechless from your beauty."
"Well I am hungry, so let's eat." she said.
"There is no way I am going out with such a gorgeous creature like you like this. It''ll take me just a few minutes." Ross said as he grabbed a suit , tie , and shirt and went into the bathroom.
In a few minutes, he emerged from the bathroom. His hair was moussed a little and it seemed he was even a little tanner. His dark skin made his brown eyes more intense. Suddenly Rachel was getting back some feelings she thought were long gone.
As he stepped forward to take her hand, she could smell the cologne on him. He always had a tendency to dress so nice, nicer than Chandler or Joey. He had on a brown suit with a pink shirt and tie and his shoes were black,
"You look incredible as well." said Rachel as she slowly walked over to him. He took his hand and moved it down her back. Slowly he leaned in to her face. He was so close she could feel the slight five o clock shadow brush her face. His soft lips tapped hers as he nervously moved his arm around her waist. Slowly her lips touched his and her mouth began to part to accept his tongue. They grabbed each other as the rain raged outside the hotel room.
"Oh Ross, how long are we going to stop fighting it?" asked Rachel.
"I have been ready ever since Emma was born. It's you that wanted to give out your phone number and make out on the balcony." Ross said painfully.
"We're doing it again. We are letting the past ruin what could be a beautiful future." Rachel ran to the bed and cried.
"There is right now, no one on this earth I want to be with more then you." whispered Ross.
"Could it be the tropical winds or the ocean waves that is doing this to us.?" Rachel asked.
"I think it is something that is more powerful then the ocean or stronger than the wind. I think it is my love for you, because I will tell you something Rachel, it never died." said Ross.
"Seeing you working on that paper made me remember , Ross Geller, that you are a man of passion. You are passionate about your work, you have a passion for life, and you share passion with everyone you love. I still remember when you shared that passion with me. " sighed Rachel.
"Let me share it again Rachel." he said
Ross walked over to her and smiled."There is room service."
"That would suit me just fine, Dr. Geller." she said as she walked to the bed.
