And I Feel Home

"Hey, Mon"
Monica opened the door and stepped aside so Rachel could walk in.
"Hey, Rach"
"How's that shrimp coming along?"
"Huh?!"
Rachel stood there and shot her friend a look.
"Did you forget it?"
"Oh my God!"
"I can't believe this, Monica. I had that thing delivered here on thursday, please tell me you got it"
"Must be on the fridge. God, Rach, sorry, I had a lot in mind, I was making spaguetti! But hey-" Monica looked at her watch "We still got time to make the shrimp!"
Rachel smiled.
"Well, you better! I've been dreaming about that the whole week!"
It was their thing now. Every sunday Monica would cook them something really nice, just for the two of them.
"Okay, c'mon"
They started making their way into the kitchen.
"Where's Ross?" Rachel almost quietly asked.
Monica looked at her. Strange. She'd never heard Rachel's voice sound like that.
"Last time I saw him, he was watching t.v. in the t.v. room. What did you guys do last night?"
"Oh, just went out to dinner."
Without a notice, Rachel changed her way to the kitchen and opened the t.v. room door. Monica rolled her eyes and approached, but contained herself to stand by the doorway as Rachel entered.
Ross had his eyes closed and his breathing was steady. In the t.v. screen, Rachel got a quick glimpse of a documentary about some species of monkeys or something. Shifting her sight back to her boyfriend's sleeping form, she suddenly felt this warmth inside of her and smiled.
"I'll be right there, Mon" Rachel whispered.
Picking up the hint, Monica left. Surprised and confused would be good names to describle her feelings. Neither goor, nor bad.
Rachel knelt down next to Ross and for the while contented herself with the mere sight of him. Soon, however, she needed more. Carefully, she laid herself down next to him. He shifted and adjusted himself, aknowleging her presence in a semi-conscient stage. They cuddled and closed their eyes.
The air was heavy with his sound and his smell. She could even swear it was loaded with this energy that radiated from him. It was peaceful. His breathing moved that air quietly, its sounds were smooth. The scent was clean, natural. She knew it wasn't cologne, it was him. She prompted herself upwards so she could glue her nose to his neck and get more of it.
He chuckled.
"What are you doing?" he asked softly.
She smiled.
"Nothing, you just smell so good"
"You smell good too"
He lowered his face into her neck like she'd done and she shivered. But, for a moment, oh, so ashamed of her Tommy Girl.
"Hm" She considered pushing him away, but the gentle touch of his lips on a well placed kiss on her neck made her reconsider. She draped her arms around him and closed her eyes.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Well-" he began, still focused on admiring and cherishing her neck. She had an interesting collarbone "I did, actually. But I'm still making up for all of my lack of sleep during the week."
"When are your exams ending?"
"End of next week"
"Really? Aw, mine end at the end of this week"
"Yeah, well, see... Most of mine do too, but I'm sort of involved with this uh, thing and uh... you know, I have to stay there till it's finished"
"What thing?"
He blushed.
"It's nothing"
"C'mon, Ross, tell me"
"It's stupid"
"Then there'll be no problem on you telling me"
"You'll just think I'm a geek"
"Got news for you, sweetie: I already do"
Ross shot her a look and she giggled, supporting her head in one of her arms.
"Okay, uh... It's just a silly RPG group"
Rachel stroked his hair and locked her gaze on his lips. The botton one, in particular.
"It's not silly"
Ross smiled.
"So, how's your studying going?" he asked.
"Not too bad"
"Got any plans for the hollidays?"
"Not really, I'll be staying around" she smiled at him. "Dad was thinking about spending Christmas eve on Poconos though. For a change" she added sarcastically and he smiled back. "What about you?"
"I'll be aroud here, as always"
"I'll try to lure my dad into just staying there for a couple of days, if we do go. Eveybody's coming over, it should be fun."
"Everybody?"
"Yeah, from High School! It's been a while...!"
"Oh"
Rachel failed to notice the concern in his voice.
"God, I really miss Mindy! I haven't talked to her in such a long time! So much for the 'not losing contact' pact!"
Ross looked away from her and held back a deep sigh. As he did that, Rachel noticed his neck and how his muscles contracted to make that simple movement. She ran a finger across a little path they created and then shifted her glance to his arms. He looked down at her as she came closer again and stroked the left one. It was definitely not as soft as she thought it would be, even though the skin was still really smooth.
She rested her face on his chest and closed her eyes. He gently wrapped an arm around her and rest his hand on her lower back. He stroked it softly, getting a faint wish to let it go lower once in a while. And a little part of her wished he would too. After a while, she promped herself up one more time and kissed him.
Before Rachel knew it, they were kissing like they had never done before. But it was not the desperate type of passionate kisses she'd shared before. It was somehow still focused and loaded with much more important emotions. She could tell. It was needy, yes, but she knew it wasn't just the moment. It was the whole, for him. It wasn't that Ross was kissing a beautiful girl. It was that he was kissing her.
She could tell.
Urge started builting up inside of her. She seemed to completely forget she was laid down on his parents' t.v. room couch. She adjusted herself under him and brought one of her knees up, to his side. It didn't take long untill he took the hint. Up and down he massaged her tigh, and even though she was wearing thick pants it still did so much to her.
Knock-knock.
"Rachel are you coming??" Monica asked from the other side of the door.
Ross and Rachel broke. She laughed and smiled at him.
"Yeah, I'll be right there" She sat down and brushed the side of her lips with the back of her fingers, softly. "Hmmm" she adjusted her hair the best way she could. Damn, she was hot! She had no idea Ross Geller would ever make her feel that way.
Hmm, well, he was her boyfriend...! They would have to sleep together at some point... Not a bad idea now, was it?
She turned to face him again and kissed him softly.
"I better go before your sister kills me"
"You better"
They smiled at each other and he kissed her one more time.
----------------------------------------
"God, Monica, I swear I'm beginning to put on weight after we started doing these things..." Rachel rested her silverwear on her plate and sighed with great difficulty. "I swear I'm gonna starve myself all week to make up for this!"
"Don't forget there's always next sunday!"
"Riiiight"
"What do you wanna have then?"
"Antacids"
"Funny"
Rachel chuckled as Monica picked up the plates.
"Seriously, I can't keep on eating like this...!"
"Why not? It's healthy, Rach. Besides, yeah, like the guys would mind if you get a little something to go with your bones" Rachel chuckled and Monica looked away. "Specially, hm, Ross"
Rachel smiled.
"Why? Is he into the chubby kind?"
"No, he just wouldn't mind how you look, that's all"
Rachel smiled at Monica in a way that gave her feelings for Ross a little more credit.
"You're the one to talk, Monica. Eversince you lost all that weight, man, you're sure very skinny"
"Well, I'm scared if I put on a little more weight it will all come back at once, you know?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean...!"
Rachel played with her glass for a while. The door opened a bit and Ross peeked inside.
"Is it safe to enter now?"
Rachel smiled at him and pushed a chair next to her. He smiled back and happily joined her. Monica looked back from the sink and then went back to her business, smiling to herself. Now that she thought about it, Ross and Rachel did make a cute couple! Sure it looked unusual at a first quick glance, but now... it wasn't, anymore.
"Would you like some shrimp?" Rachel asked Ross, playing with his hands. "We got some left-over"
"Left over, huh? Is that all I get?"
She chuckled.
"Hey, it's our girls' thing!" she shrugged. "I suggest you take it, it's our best offer"
He smiled.
"Yeah, ok"
Ross grabbed a plate and started serving himself. When he sat down to eat, Judy and Jack entered. They all greeted one another.
"Oh, Rachel, dear" Judy began "There's something I've been meaning to ask you!"
"Sure, what?"
"What are you doing wendsday afternoon?"
"Not much, really. Just got to study a bit, but it's mostly done" Lie. "Why?"
"Well, would you like to go shopping with me at the city? We could drive there after you're out and we have dinner in a nice restaurant after we were done"
Squee!
"Of course!"
"Hey!" Monica protested. "What about me?"
"Oh, Monica, aren't you busy on wendsday?"
"We could re-scadule that!"
"No, Monica, this is my thing with Rachel. Like I did it with Carol, I want to spend some time with her"
Rachel smiled and hugged Ross. He smiled back at her.
"This is not fair!"
"Why are you so upset now?" Judy asked. "You didn't think it was a big deal when I did it with Carol"
"Well, this is different!"
"How?"
"It's Rachel!"
"So?" Rachel asked quickly.
Monica looked at her and then sighed.
"Nevermind. Go, bond with her, I don't care"
Monica left the kitchen.
-----------------------------------------------------
I was not expecting this bit, actually, but... Anyway, reviews?? Please :) It's heating up, I'm getting to the part where I want!!! School's being a bitch though and I've been pretty busy and uninspired (God, so tired). But I think your words about it might (will!) help! :D Thanks for reading!
