The new sparkle Rachel could spot on Ross' eyes were magical. He tugged to her hand like it was about to break and his voice got a new entonation. It was sweet and smooth. They had not been together for five minutes now and she was already enchanted. For someone who loved being spoiled like she did, Rachel concluded she could take this any day of the week, gladly.

He kissed her hand for the 5th time in those 5 minutes and she noticed he must've been nervous.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, great" he smiled at her to ensure her she was the reason he was so happy. But then he shifted his glance. Hers followed. He was looking at his parents, looking almost scared of being caught sharing such a tender gesture with Rachel.

"What's wrong?" she insisted.

"I just..." he let her hand go. "Could we not tell them about this right now?"

Ah- WHAT?

Rachel stared back at him.

"What?! Why?"

"I Just..." he looked at them and back at Rachel, nervously. "I want to break up with Carol first. Before we can start telling people..."

"Oh"

"I'm sorry. I mean, you can imagine just about how much I want everybody to know that I am dating Rachel Green, right?"

She couldn't help but smile.

"...but... it's not fair to Carol. I can't cheat on her like that. But I'm breaking up with her tomorrow, I swear! We can postpone telling them on a day, right?"

"I guess." she sighed. "I just really wanted them to know"

"I know. They're gonna be so happy."

Rachel smiled.

"You think?"

"Are you kidding me? My parents adore you. They've probably always wished you were their child instead of Monica!" he chuckled "Although I must admit that thought never was appealing to me"

Her smile grew.

"Really?"

Assuming erroniously she was talking about his last remark, Ross had to contain his giddiness towards hers.

"Of course"

Rachel hugged him and they finally resumed dancing. Both of them lost in the bliss of the moment. However, for very different reasons.

------------------------------------

Driving down her street, by far Rachel could spot Pete's car parked in front of her mansion and sighed. Damn, she didn't need that to ruin her perfect little night! 'Well, at least we can make things clear now' she concluded. A nice clean and final break up was going to be a good for her to enter the new phase her life was certainly going to embrace now that she was dating Ross.

She parked her car on the street and stepped out, watching as Pete did the same.

"Hey" his voice was soft.

"Hi"

"I was just... hm... You wouldn't return my calls, so I just thought maybe-" he trailled off.

Rachel watched him for a while. Pete was a good guy, just not the one for her, clearily. He also had a lot of growing up to do before he ever got in a serious relationship. Or just maybe find himself a girl who'd be aproved by his mom. Either way, this just wasn't it!

But he was a nice guy. Looking at his sad expression, at 1:30 in that cold night made Rachel's heart sink.

"Pete... We need to talk"

"Is this what I think it is?"

Rachel looked down.

"Let's go inside, it's freezing out here"

"Okay"

They went into the house and up to her bedroom. The residence was silent and Rachel well knew on saturdays both her parents slipped in a little something to help them sleep.

Something she would not have to worry about.

"So..."

Rachel closed the door after herself and turned around to look at him. Pete was looking around the room and she noticed as his eyes caught the three picture frames she had on her bedside table.

"Sit down"

She sat on her bed and he followed, taking a seat right next to her. She looked up at him and sighed, before continuing.

"You know, I like you a lot Pete"

"I like you a lot too"

He stroked her hair and she looked down.

"But this isn't working"

"I..." he paused for a while. "I wish I could say that isn't truth"

"Yeah, me too. I'm really sorry"

"It's not your fault. I know sometimes I can be a little... too much to take. It's just that I... I feel kinda of, you know... and I feel like you get me, you know?" Aw "But I understand that's really overwhelming, you don't need that right now"

"No, hey, Pete" she took his hand on hers. "That's not it. I mean... sure, sometimes I..." she trailed off. No, better not say that. Make him feel better, don't be too honest. "I guess I did sometimes understand you, I think. But I'm sure you'll find someone out there who will too, much better. Someone who'll really deserve you and who'll be ready for it." He nodded, yet he looked rather unsure "And, well, someone your mother will aprove"

That last bit made him chuckle. She smiled at him.

"Are we okay?" she whispered.

He looked at her and sadly smiled.

"Sure"

She leaned closer and kissed him softly. When she backed away, the look on his eyes confused her. They were much too serious. Before she had the chance to question him about it, he was already pushing his lips against hers. She played along, resting a hand behind his head and kissing back softly.

He opened his mouth and brushed his tongue into her mouth.

She opened it.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer, getting more agressive. His tongue was battling hers wildly right before he pulled away, breathing heavily.

"Hey, one more time, what do you say?"

She looked at him and thoughts raced madly inside her brain. Oh, what the hell? Just one more time. She and Ross were not officially going out yet anyway! Besides... poor Pete. It'd be a nice way to finish it off with him, comforting him about the end of their "relationship".

"Yeah, okay"

He smiled and kissed her again, not as harder as before.

He didn't waste any time before undressing her. Her outfit was quite easy to slip off and he imediately also got rid of her underwear. He took off his clothes himself and within a minute both were already fully naked, kissing on top of the blankets on her bed.

His hands groped her, assalted her body. They did nothing for her, actually. She just laid still while waiting for it to be over. He usually did all the work, it was always much too quick and unpersonal. Before she knew it, he had already slipped on a condon and was carefully slidding inside of her.

"Oh, Rachel..."

She could hear the tears in his voice and turned her head resting on the pillow, closing her eyes to bear the uncomfortable feeling of being yet again penetrated by Pete.

He kept a slow pace at first, but quickly increased speed. He moaned, panted and let very wet tears fall on Rachel's chest untill he couldn't hold it anymore and colapsed on top of her. She ran a hand up his back and kissed his cheek.

"Was it good for you?" he whispered.

"Yeah..." she stroked his back with both hands now, glad she wouldn't have to hear him ask her that anymore.

Hmmmm... yeah, no comments! I know it's rather short, I'll try to make them longer from now on. I'll probably post a new one tomorrow, I'm getting all excited about this fic. I'm afraid I'm gonna need reviews to get me in the mood though, ha-ha! About this R part... Well, let's just say we need this for future reference! ;)
