"Monica, yeah we're getting ready to leave. Remember I want you to go out and pick out a nice white dress, one that you think would be nice for a wedding in the tropics. You have my credit card , so just bring it with you guys when you fly down. Okay? Can't talk, so I'll call you when we get there." Ross immediately hung up his cell phone when Rachel came in the room.
"All packed." she said as she pulled her suitcase through the living room. "They are so nice at work, letting me have two weeks off with vacation."
"Yeah I didn't need that extra pterodactlyl egg anyway." Once again, Ross had given Mr. Zellner some of his dinosaur knick knacks so Rachel could go on this vacation.
"What did you say?' she asked when she heard him mumble something.
"It's not important. Now come on, we have a flight to catch." he said as they both walked out the door.
As they walked on the plane, both of them had a feeling of a déjà vu. Rachel could remember sitting down and the feelings going through her head.
Knowing it was a long flight, Ross took out a pen and started to do his cross word puzzle.
"Is that a pen?" asked Rachel. "Give it to me, there will be no drawing on my face."
"You must admit it was funny." giggled Ross.
"Did you think it was funny when you had cat whiskers drawn on yours?" said Rachel defensively.
"I thought everything was funny. I was smashed."
"Give it to me, I am not having a repeat of that flight." Rachel made him hand her the pen and she put it in her purse.
"It's so funny , us and airports, remember when we were going to Greece and I saw Emily and ran after her and you stayed on the plane?' Ross laughed.
"I would prefer not to think of that trip if you don't mind or the mean gentleman I sat next to on the flight to London. He had no business saying what he did." she said defensively .
"And what did he say?" asked Ross curiously.
"That we were on a break." she sighed.
"Even total strangers agree with me, I love it." he laughed. "What did you do? Tell him our life story on the flight?'
"Well it was a long flight to London, and all I could picture in my head was you and Emily and I knew I had to tell you I loved you." said Rachel.
"That has to be the sweetest thing that any girl had ever done for me, actually flying across an ocean to tell me they love me ." Ross said emotionally. "I am going to admit something I never have before."
"And what is that?" Rachel said as she touched the top of his hand.
"When I said your name, it wasn't a mistake." he said sweetly. "Suddenly I couldn't picture myself with anyone but you. I could see that our story was far from over and I was right."
Rachel became misty eyed for a moment. "That was a terrible week, first I had lost La Poo and then I was going to lose my best friend."
"She had no right to tell me I couldn't see my best friend. The whole thing was literally making me sick. There was only one other time I was more miserable , and that is when I realized I hurt you so much." Ross said.
"Why is it every time we start talking about us, we start talking about the mistakes of the past?" said Rachel as she sipped her drink.
"Rache, there is no past, there is only here and now , and the future. When we get back , we can start planning our wedding." Ross couldn't help it, he wanted to in the worst kind of way tell her that the real reason for this trip was so his dream woman could have her dream wedding on the cliffs in Barbados at sunset .
"Well I know the strangest place that you and Carol did it was Disneyland , and the strangest place for us was in the museum with those kids staring, so would you like to join me in the bathroom, Doctor for a little physical?" Rachel said as she got up and pulled Ross's hand.
"Okay." he squealed in that familiar voice when he was excited that she loved.
Giggling they went back to the lavatory like two little teenagers instead of two people in their thirties. Rachel opened the door and Ross followed her in.
It was a tight squeeze , considering his size but Rachel wrapped herself around him and pulled down his pants as he wrestled the dress over her head. She positioned herself against the wall and pushed her legs high in the air. As people kept banging on the door, Ross kept pushing into her. Finally climaxing, she pulled down her skirt and he fastened his pants.
"Sorry about that, I thought I saw a mouse." said Rachel as they both inconspicuously walked from the bathroom continuing to giggle.
"We are nothing but trouble." said Rachel as she shook her head.
"And that's the way I like it baby." said Ross as he nibbled at her neck .
"We are not going back in that bathroom." she said .
"Attention , we are approaching Barbados. The temperature is a balmy 85 degrees and there is nothing but sunshine. So on behalf of Air Jamaica , have a wonderful stay on the island." the announcement said.
"Well here we are. Let the vacation begin." Ross said.
