Ok, I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who has reviewed for this story, and I promise that I will continue to keep putting out chapters as fast as I can. Also, I'm dealing with a slightly busy schedule right now, so most of my new entries will be issued during the early morning/afternoon, and late night. Finally, I would like to give a HUGE thank you to rachgreengeller and rr'sfan for even reading my story… I am a HUGE fan of your stories so this really means a lot

((Inside Ross's bedroom the next morning, Rachel apparently spent the night wink wink))

Her eyelashes fluttered open, bringing her back to the world that was already wide awake. She could always tell it was morning by the loud buzz of cars, the shuffling feet of people on their way to work, and the bright New York sun streaming in through the window. But this morning, there was something new. Not "new" exactly, but something she hadn't felt in what seemed like years.

Turning onto her side, her cheek brushed against Ross's bare chest, and she felt her hands gripping him somewhere around the neck. Yes, this was where she wanted to be, where she wanted to stay: enveloped in his arms for the rest of time. There was no doubt that last night was anything but amazing, and it was far from a mistake, or so she thought.

Soon she felt a warm breath on her temple, and she was suddenly greeted by a shower of kisses which multiplied by the minute.

"Hey baby, you awake?"

Bracing a smile, she stayed quiet, and kept her eyes shut tight. She hadn't played this game for a while, and it was fun to tease him.

Thinking she was still fast asleep, Ross gently played with her wispy hair, twirling it around his fingers. And for a long time, he just stared at her… soaking up her beauty that surrounded him everywhere. It was only a matter of minutes until he glanced at the clock, and noticed that he only had ten minutes to get to work. In a jolt, he kissed her hard on the lips and shook her shoulders until he managed to get her awake.

"I am so sorry sweetie, but I have ten minutes to get to work, so we have to get going."

She yawned, "Oh, I wish I could stay here forever."

By now Ross was already out of bed and searching through his closet for a clean outfit. Rachel began to grab her clothes off the floor and re-dressing herself.

"Last night was, well, amazing," she said, pulling on her jeans.

Ross nodded his head as he straightened his tie in the mirror, "I honestly have never felt so good in my entire life."

He turned to her, and grabbed her one last time, making sure to emphasize how glad he was to finally be back together again. Then he reminded her of the time, and grabbed her hand as he pulled her out the door.

Remembering her purse, Rachel ran back to the nightstand and grabbed it in a hurry. But as she left the bedroom, she continued to look back where an unopened condom laid in disgrace.

((Monica and Rachel's apartment, Phoebe and Monica are busy questioning Rachel about last night))

"And when you went into the bedroom, then what happened?" Monica asked.

Rachel laughed, "Well, what do you think happened?"

"Was it amazing?" Phoebe questioned further.

Sighing, Rachel confessed, "It was probably the greatest night of my life. You know, it just felt so… so right being there with him. All of my fears where just whisked away, because I know there's a future for us again."

She paused for a second, thinking. What future was she talking about exactly? Maybe I'm taking this too far… too fast. I just need to calm down and hold myself back. I mean, I'm desperately in love with Ross, but suddenly I've been fast-forwarding what? Twelve years?

"Rachel? You okay? You kinda, zoned-out for a second there," Monica said, bringing Rachel back to reality.

"Yea, why don't we grab some coffee down at Central Perk?" she suggested.

"Sounds good," Phoebe answered, and the three of them headed for the door.

Sorry this chapter was a little short, I'm waiting to get to the Beach House scenario because I have a huge idea to get across and a bunch of scenes that I HAVE to get out! So, I hope it's not jumping too far, but in about two chapters I'm going to incorporate that. Please continue to read and review, and also please try to give me some ideas for the future. I'm open to almost anything
