The first chapter is letting you see the relationship between Ross and Julie. It is pure mush. It doesn't really tell you much about the story but it does lead you into it. So please enjoy.

Ross Gellar walked down the crowded streets of San Francisco, beaming as he strode. He felt as if nothing in the world could put him down. Today was not an especially exciting or joyous day. Today was just a normal day in the breezy streets of San Fran. Yet somehow he was constantly on cloud nine. Why shouldn't he be? He was a college graduate with a masters in Anthropology and going for a PhD, had a fantastic job teaching about fossils and DNA to freshman students at the University of Berkeley, was traveling the world, from Egypt to Indonesia, and to top it off, was dating a beautiful girl who he loved like no other.

As he thought about this he started to quicken his pace. Ross knew the faster he walked the faster he would be connected with the most amazing woman in the world-Julie. She was as beautiful as a summer rain or crystal clear lagoon. Whenever he heard the word Julie he melted. Sometimes he could barely concentrate in class. It's like his thoughts of her took complete control over him.

"What are you so happy about?" Ross jumped at the sudden voice. He turned around to see a grumpy, overweight man pushing him along.

"Come on, move those legs!" the man yelled.

Two weeks ago Ross would have cocked his head to the ground and kept walking with a look of embarrassment and eagerness. But that was two weeks ago. This was a different Ross. A more confident Ross.

"You know it's a lot easier to just say excuse me," Ross answered with a grin.

"Yeah whatever," the tired man shot back in a bitter tone.

Ross wasn't about to let this one individual make his day unpleasant. He let the man pass by him and smiled in relief. At least I am not like that. Ross exclaimed to himself a little too loudly.

"What was that?" the man said whipping his rather large belly around. A look of pure anger in his eyes.

"Nothing." Ross was in a hurry. There was neither the need or the time to argue with this guy. The man brushed it off anyway, turned on his heal, and stomped off. Thank God that's over.

Ross felt somewhat sorry for the man. He seemed to have no feeling or strength. He didn't want to think about that. He just kept walking. He let his body relax and started whistling a tune. He didn't know what song he was whistling, but it was catchy. This would be a great day.

Ross finally reached the west side of Julie's apartment building still feeling as high as ever. Then he stopped dead in his tracks. I should get some roses. Yeah that'll be sweet.

He flipped around scanning his eyes, looking for a flower stand. Bingo, he whispered to himself. He jogged over to the stand and bought a single rose. Julie wouldn't like a bunch of roses. Julie preferred the simpler things in life. Her life was so lenient and fun. She made him interesting. This was her merciless objective. She made him forget all the social rules and constraints. Nothing about her was boring. She was who she was and no one could change that.

Now, so close to her, he was extremely happy. He was so happy he could skip-and so he did. He skipped all the way up the three flights of stairs, down the corridor to the door that read 354. And below the number it read HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

He smiled brightly at that. This just showed her amazing personality and character even more vividly. So bright and colorful. Everyday to Julie was a new day. No matter what was happening in her life.

He made a fist with his hand and raised it towards the door. Knock, knock, knockAnd there she was. Looking at him with the sweetest, most innocent look. That look was all it took to weaken his knees and lock is jaw open. She was magnificent.

"Hey sweety," she said while engrossing him in a warm hug and a peck on the lips. "How you doing?" she said quite casually.

"I'm great!" Ross answered rather excitedly, "you ready to roll."

"What do you mean? Where are we going?" Julie was kind of shocked at the spontaneity Ross possessed at the moment.

"You'll see. It's a surprise." He could hardly keep himself from breaking into song he was so excited.

"Okay baby but gimme a sec. I gotta get dressed." This aroused Ross. "Or we can just stay in today," Ross remarked with a mischievous grin while wrapping her around the waist gently and kissing her on the neck.

"No you said we're going out and that's exactly what we're going to do," She said, half serious, half jokingly.

"Okay, you win," Ross said gasping in defeat. This truly was going to be a great day.

Ross and Julie arrived at Fisherman's Warf an hour later. They watched as the hustle and bustle started to increase rapidly. They could smell the fresh seafood from a mile away. This was their territory-sort to speak. They loved everything about the warf. There was so much to do, so much to see. Ross lead Julie to there favorite restaurant (I can't remember any of the restaurants so make up your own). He glanced over at her noticing her full smile. How did I deserve this.

"What?" she said rather sheepishly.

"Nothing, I just love looking at you." Ross halted his feet and turned towards her, looking into her dark brown eyes. Those eyes that could melt him like the witch in The Wizard of Oz. He studied her face. Everything about it seemed, well, perfect. Ross moved his lips into hers. There tongues wrestled passionately-neither one wanting to stop the energy they were extracting from the other. This was a kiss filled with every waking desire they dreamt about. This kiss would set the bar for every kiss beyond it. Neither one wanted to break the shape their lips had so selfishly carved. Alas, Julie slowly pulled away breathless.

"W-w-w-wow you've, a never um, kissed me like that," she caught her breath, "It was amazing," Julie exclaimed exasperated.

"I-I-I um I know." Ross couldn't even find the words to explain the sudden change. He just smiled brightly, laid his forehead on hers, and whispered for the first time, "I love you."

That was all he needed to say. There was no doubt in her mind she loved him. "I love you to. So much."

The rest of the day was peaceful and somewhat silent. Neither of them had to say anything. They just held onto each other the whole day. They had an incredible day, eating chocolate at Gharadelli's Chocolate, riding their biking under the Golden Gate bridge, screaming to the world how in love they were, and just generally enjoying each other's company.

At the end of the day, when the sun had slipped into the sea (I know it doesn't go into the sea) and night had shown its face they held each other on the solitary beach. Time didn't seem to exist at this moment. It was like they were the only people in the world. They had the beach, they had the world, but most of all, they had each other.
