Ross was left speechless at his apartment. Did Rachel just kiss him? Was it because she loved him or because she was caught up in the moment? He was swarmed with all these questions. While he was busy trying to figure out the answers, he heard a knock at the door. He looked through the peephole and saw Emily. He didn't know what to do! Rachel had just left. What was he supposed to do?
He answered it and tried to put on his best smile. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "Trust me, its not like I want to be here. But I need to talk to you alone" she replied. "Oh, sit down" Ross said. She takes her
jacket and puts in on the couch, than sits on top of it because Rachel might have touched on it or slept on it. "Emily, what is it already?" Ross said impatient. "Ross, I wanted to talk to you about the message you left me" Emily answered. "What message?" asked Ross confused.
"The message saying that you still love me" Emily replied. "What! I never wrote that message." Emily said, "Yes, you did. I received it a month ago. I'm sorry but I love Colin very much and you might not love Rachel" Ross looked at her with eyes almost popping out of his face. What did she mean a message? Not loving Rachel? The only word the he could say was "What?" Emily looked at him sympathetically "oh, sweetie. It's okay. I know I never got over you that's why I came into town. So, we can work on this" Ross said "Emily, I can't." 'Not like I want to' he thought. "I know you can't but Rachel's gone. It's only us, lets get it over with," Emily said pleading.
Emily grabbed his shirt, and kissed him. He pulled away. She grabbed him again. "Come on Ross, you know you want it!" She insisted. He climbed out of the couch, than he said, "I need to tell Rachel to stay out longer"
He grabbed the phone and went to his bedroom. What was he supposed to do? Call Rachel and tell her that he and Emily were getting it on? No, he couldn't do that. He hated Emily.
At that exact moment Emily came in, Ross suddenly had to go to the bathroom. Emily liked his new decor, she couldn't believe that she was going to cheat on her husband. While, Ross was in the bathroom almost crying in fright. What the hell would he do? He hated Emily, he loved Rachel. He did. He loved her with all his heart. If Ross did actually have to sleep with Emily to get over this, what would Rachel do if she found out? She would probably kill him. He walked around the bathroom. He tried to find something to stop this.
Than he heard the front door open. He went to see whom it was. Emily had left, he walked around the room and found many of his things scattered around the living room. Than by the door, he found Ross' letter that he had wrote to Rachel while they were going out ripped to pieces. He also found a note saying that she took the engagement ring. He took them, and started to cry. That was all he had of Rachel. Now it was gone. She was gone. Probably he needed to start to move on. The thing was he didn't want to. It was already 9 at night. So, he decided to give it a rest, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Rachel was walking into to Central Perk happily that the way things turned out yesterday. When she walked in, she saw Emily sitting there on the couch. Rachel tried to get out, but it was too late. Emily had spotted her. She called her over. Rachel accepted. But she did regret having to say yes to sitting down with her like they were friends. They both knew that they weren't. They knew that they were each other's enemies.
"So, you're not married to Ross?" Emily said. "How did you find out?" Rachel said confused. "You just told me" she replied. Rachel was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe it. "Ross, didn't tell me that you two were engaged" Emily said. "Well, we weren't." Rachel said. Knowing that it was the truth. "Yes, you were. See?" Emily said showing Rachel the engagement ring. Rachel looked at it, it was the most beautiful ring ever. She started to feel the rim, it had three diamonds on it. It was beautiful. Emily than gave the box it came in to Rachel. She opened it and found a note inside. She started to read the note:
Rachel,
When I saw this ring. I knew it belonged to you. For it is beautiful. But not as half as beautiful as you. On the inside of the ring you will find
RG+ RG forever. It is engraved. If you are reading this, you probably will find yourself at the planetarium on our 1st anniversary and I have just proposed to you. I can't believe I was so lucky to have ever had the chance to touch you, or to kiss you. You are my soulmate, and my other half. I swear I will never hurt you. I would rather die, than knowing that you are crying.
Love always,
Ross Gellar.
P.S. Please don't exchange this ring. Love you my baby.
Rachel was crying by this time. She thought to herself. If she never behaved like a foolish idiot, she would have been engaged. To Ross for Gods sake! The love of her life! At this moment she felt like taking a knife and stabbing herself with it, she was so stupid.
Now she understood, why Ross was so upset that night. He wanted to propose. But she had to work. The work she didn't even need to do, for Joanna threw it in the garbage the next day. Just like Rachel had just threw away the relationship. Yes, Ross did cheat on her, but she forgave him. All she needed to do right no was talk to Ross.
She got up than remembered that he was at work, and she was supposed to be there also. She took the letter, the box, and the ring with her and said to Emily while she was walking out and crying "thanks Emily" "No problem" Emily replied. She knew that this was not going to lead to good. So, she walked out of the coffeehouse smiling, and all giddy.
