Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad people like it. hehe, makes me feel all special inside.
Rachel just sat there and stared at Ross. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wouldn't let herself believe it.
"Wha-What!" Rachel finally stuttered. Ross just stared back nervously and suddenly became very interested in his plate. Severel more long, aching, silent moments followed. Neither said anything. Finally Rachel felt she needed to cut the silence.
"Your married." Ross looked relieved she finally said something.
"I know," he replied. "But it doesn't look like me and Emily are going to make up anytime soon, and there must have been a reason I said your name at the alter instead of hers..." Ross leaned across the table and took Rachel's hand. "I love you." He kissed her hand.
The two just sat there, Ross still holding Rachel's hand, Rachel staring at Ross.
"I love you, too." Tears filled Rachel's eyes. Ross leaned over the table and gave her a very long passonite kiss. When the kiss was broken Ross leaned back in his chair.
SMACK! A stinging pain erupted from Ross's cheek as somebody's hand hit him very hard. He looked to his left, where the hit came from, to see Emily standing there, looking very, very angry.
"I KNEW IT!" she screamed in a shrill voice causing the whole resturant to stare at them. "I KNEW YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH HER! AND TO TIHNK I WAS COMING HERE TO TRY AND MAKE UP WITH YOU!" Emily did not lower her voice at all.
"No! Emily, it's not like that! Well, it is, sort of. But I didn't plan this!" Emily was no longer listening. She turned around and stormed out of the resturant. Ross sat up out of his chair and bolted after her, leaving Rachel alone at the table.
He followed her halfway down the block until she stopped and turned around.
"Why are you chasing me!" she cried. Ross didn't answer, winded from trying to catch up with her; she was quite fast.
"How did you even know I was here?"
"Well," repled Emily, "I called your sister in the states, and she said you came here instead of going home, and of corse, I knew what hotel you were staying in. After all, I was supposed to be staying there with you." Tears began to erupt from Emily's eyes.
"I can't believe you would stay in our honeymoon suit with her!" Ross stared at the ground. Severel minutes passed. Finally Emily spoke again.
"This isn't going to work," Emily said, whispering. "I can't trust you." She then turned away. Ross didn't even try to stop her. He knew that it would happen eventually. Things wouldn't work out between them, and he didn't want them to. He wanted to be with Rachel no matter what, and deep down he always knew that. He slowly made his way back to the restraunt where Rachel was still sitting. Their food had now arrived but she hadn't touched it.
Once Ross sat back down he could see that Rachel was crying.
"What's wrong?"
"You went after her," Rachel said.
Ross panicked at the thought of losing Rachel again. "No! It's not like that! I had to, I had to explain."
Rachel was still crying. "I love you, with all my heart," said Ross. "And I want you to know that." He had now bent down on one knee.
"Rachel...will you marry me?"
Super short chapter, but I wanted a cliffhanger. Hehe, i know, pure evil. Review!
