Rated R for sexual content! Very sexual, I must warn.
Important Author's Note: Hey guys! Just wanna say the three previous chapters have been edited. It's a long story, but, basicly, let's just say I've found the very first draft of this and thought some of the old stuff was really good. They captured a lot out of the characters...! But maybe a little too much sometimes. So I kept some of the impersolnality from this version! It's nothing that will REALLY change the course of the story, but it does give you a better insight of the characters. Or so I hope!
The next day, the girls were hanging out the beach together. It was cold, they were just around because since it was a sunny day they knew everyone would rush their way there. A sunny sunday at the beach was always fun. There were kids toddling towards the sea followed by desperate mothers or builting castles on the sand, some brave people surfing in the freezing sea and youngsters hanging out by the bars along the beach.
Rachel and Michelle had gone to an ice cream parlor together, leaving Gwen and Helen hanging out on the sidewalk. Gwen was sitting on the floor and Helen was pacing around her, a thoughtful look on her face.
"What's up Helen?"
"What?"
"You're just... different. Did anything happen?"
Helen kept looking at her friend and didn't know what to say. She thought for a while... Gwen was cool, she was the most open minded girl she knew. Mabe she could tell her.
"Maybe?"
Knowing Helen was up to something, Gwen patted down on a spot next to her. Helen sat down.
"Spill the beans"
"Alright... But you cannot tell anyone!"
"Okay, now I'm worried. Why not?"
"You'll understand once I tell you. Just promise"
"Not even the girls?"
"Nope, specially them. Not for now, anyway"
"Okay, fine, I promise. Now tell me"
"Okay... you know how I was gone last night for a bit, right before my sister came to pick us up?"
"Yeah?"
"Well... I wasn't alone"
"Okay?" Gwen motioned for her to go on again.
Helen raised her eyebrows suggestively and Gwen finally understood.
"Ohhh! With whom? And why can't I tell the girls?"
"Tell us what!" Rachel asked from behind, holding her ice cream. Helen shot Gwen a look and she whispered "sorry" back.
"Nothing, just some stuff to do with Sarah. She sends me the most horrible e-mails, telling me me just about every minor detail about her and her boyfriend, if you know what I mean. And, you know, since I know you don't like it when we talk about people you don't know, just thought we'd stay out of that subject. Besides, it's not really important!"
Helen amazed Gwen with her capacity to make up a lie so quickly. And such a good lie! But, actually, that wasn't completely a lie, she did get those horrid e-mails...!
"Aw, that's sweet, Helen, thanks. But that's fine, you can talk about it. Just as long as that's not all you talk about, I'm not gonna get mad."
Helen gave her a half smile and got up, being followed by Gwen. The latter kept looking at Helen curiously, still trying to figure out who could have been that had hooked up with her friend the previous night.
"What do you guys wanna do now?" Helen asked them. When she looked at Gwen, she smiled devilishly.
"Why don't you girls go to the pier while Helen and I go get some chips? I'm getting kinda hungry now" Gwen suggested.
"Sure"
Quickly, Rachel and Michelle left. Gwen watched them to make sure they got to a safe distance, all the while thinking how those two had lately become really close friends. Thinking about it, it actually bothered her a bit. There was this boy thing now that linked them together. As much as she wanted, she couldn't bring herself to share that with them.
As soon as they were far enough, Gwen turned to face Helen, who was still smiling.
"OK, now, tell me, who was it?"
"You'll never guess!"
"Kinda why I asked!" Gwen replied, getting annoyed.
"You're not gonna believe it"
"Try me"
"OK, look... Before I say anything, I wanna tell you a few things. First, this is just not too much of a big deal and I'm actually happy about that! I don't want anyone making a fuss because it's just silly...! It's not like I wanna change anything because of it at all! So, well, don't judge me. The reason why I'm telling you is because I think you're the most open minded person I know, so I trust you on this, alright?"
Gwen kept looking at her.
"OK, totally confused here, but uh... Sure, go on, I'm not gonna judge or anything. Not if it makes you happy"
"OK, hm... It was Jackie"
Helen waited for Gwen's reaction. Instead, Gwen remained silent for a while.
"Who's Jackie?"
"You know... The guys' friend..." Gwen still looked lost. "She's a girl, Gwen"
Gwen went silent once again, not knowing what to say.
"Oh... OK..." was all she said at first, softly. "So you guys are having a thing?" she asked, curiously.
"No. I mean... kinda. Nothing serious, she doesn't actually date girls, she just... fools around with them." Helen tried to remember all the things Jackie had told her that made sense to try and repeat them to Gwen.
"And is that what you want? To fool around with other girls?" Gwen tried her best to sound careful.
"Maybe. Look, it's nothing serious, I just wanna have some fun, you know? No one's gonna know, I just wanna do something wild! Or at least something!"
"Then ride a fucking roller coaster, Helen!"
Helen shot her a look.
"OK, look," Gwen began "I'm fine with this. Just... don't tell me you're doing this to be wild. Wanna do it? Fine. But think about it!"
"I have, Gwen."
"Good"
"I just... I had fun last night, you know? I haven't had fun like that in a while"
"Then..." Gwen shook her head. "Enjoy... I guess. I'm OK with it as long as you're aware of what you're doing and take care. You could aswell be doing it with a guy, you know it's all the same to me, I don't have a problem with that."
Helen smiled at her, sincerely glad she had someone who understood and respected her like that.
"Thanks, Gwen."
"Now let's go get some chips or the others might get suspecious. C'mon."
The next week went by really quick. It was their last week at school before spring break, but they didn't have much to do. So they focused in their lives. Michelle was still beginning her relationship with Cameron. He called her everyday, but they hadn't seen each other since the party. Jackie had called Helen and both were supposed to meet on thursday after school. Being the only one who knew, Gwen was getting kind of full of hearing about it, but held her peace. For some reason, she was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the whole scenario. So unlike her. Rachel... she just couldn't wait untill friday finally came. Ross was arriving on the afternoon and the girls would go and pick him up after school.
Thursday, Michelle went over to Rachel's house, just to hang out and talk. Rachel ended up showing her all the packages Ross had sent her and some pictures of her life back in America. Didn't take too long untill he called and Michelle even exchanged a few words with him. After they hung up, all Michelle could think about was if she'd ever feel the way Rachel felt. First, the problem was finding a boyfriend. Now that she had someone, she just had to feel something. Was there always going to be something missing? "Maybe it will come around, eventually..."
Meanwile, Gwen was at Helen's while she got ready for... her 'thing' with Jackie, as Gwen had decided to define for the lack of a better word. She was clearily not all that happy being there, but then again she'd feel a whole lot worse being at Rachel's. "At least here I'm included at the conversation..." Besides, if it wasn't for her, Helen would be all alone in this. Gwen felt a bit too responsable for her girls sometimes, like she had to watch after them. So it was nice to be the one who knew, to be there to help Helen if something happened.
"How do I look?"
"Sweetie, can I please not have a say in this? How am I supposed to know how you wanna look?"
Helen rolled her eyes.
"OK, if I was going out on a date with a guy, what would you say?"
"So is this a date now?"
"Don't start" Helen answered with a smile on her face. She couldn't be bothered.
"OK, I'm off now. Do you wanna come along? We're meeting in town"
"I'm going home, thanks"
The girls left together and took different directions. Gwen went walking to her house, which wasn't far from Helen's. She didn't mind walking. She had a lot in her head and it gave her time to think them through. Helen took the bus, she was meeting Jackie at Burguer King before they took off to her house. Her parents would be out till late that night...
"Wow, this is huge!" Helen exclaimed as she entered Jackie's room.
"I know... Since my brother got married and all my parents decided to tear down the wall to his room and make mine bigger. I love being only child now!" she said with a childish smile. "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"One sister, Rebecca. She's 20."
For a minute the girls just looked at each other. Helen didn't know what to do. After a few seconds, she walked up to the window and looked out, slightly nervous. Jackie realised what was happening and wondered what to say to make her more comfortable, like she had done at the party.
"Wanna watch some t.v.?"
"Sure"
Jackie reached the remote and turned her t.v. on, sitting on her bed. Helen carefull approached and sat next to her, surprising herself by the way her hands were trembling a bit. "Hell, yeah, I want this!" she reminded herself.
Both silently began watching an old episode of an american sitcom, laughing together quite a few times. After a while, Jackie looked at Helen, who felt the pair eyes on her. She turned to look back and smiled weakly. Jackie was a pretty little girl. She had green eyes and straight dark hair and bangs that framed her freckled face adoringly. She was petit, just about 5'2 and really thin.
Her smile was adorable and she flashed one back at Helen as she slowly leaned in to kiss her, this time with much more passion than before. Helen had kissed before, sure, but couldn't exactly say she had much experience on this. But she was getting the hang of it, tasting every inch of Jackie's mouth.
After a while, Jackie pulled away slightly just to whisper into Helen's ear.
"Do you wanna go further?"
Helen couldn't deny the urge builting up inside of her, but she was too aprehensive. She quickly pulled away from Jackie.
"What?"
Jackie looked at her for a couple of seconds before replying.
"You know... touching and stuff. And, if you like that..." she trailled off. "If you want, Helen."
Helen continued silent, so Jackie sighed.
"Helen, I'm just gonna touch you and you're gonna like it." She said, sternly.
Pause.
"It's not like you're gonna get pregnant or anything" she joked.
Helen smiled weakly.
"OK"
Helen came closer again and did her best to sush the voices in the back of her head. "It feels too good to be wrong.. Besides, it's my life" she thought to herself before losing it completely.
As they resumed kissing, Helen felt Jackie's hand sliding under her shirt. The soft touch against her back gave her shivers. Jackie found her bra and easily unhooked it. "Guess that's a pro of being with a girl" Helen giggled to herself at the thought. Jackie broke away from their kiss and looked at Helen, silently making sure she was allowed to go on. Helen didn't have to say anything or even nod.
Jackie slid her own shirt and bra first and then Helen's. Helen couldn't help but feel a little shy, she'd never been naked in front of anyone like that before. But she didn't have much time to think. Jackie kissed her again and this time it was even more obvious the feeling of another girl's body brushing against hers. Helen shut her eyes tighter and Jackie deepened their kiss.
She felt Jackie's hand explore her again. Stroking her back, sliding down to her waist, to her ass. Cupping her breasts. She sighed and Jackie's lips left her mouth. Helen laid in bed and heard her breathing becoming more and more unquiet, her eyes always closed. To concentrate on her mind and on her body. One telling her one thing, and the other...
"Have you ever touched yourself?" Jackie promped herself up again to whisper to Helen.
Helen opened her eyes and looked at Jackie. She just shook her head. Jackie smiled and nodded.
"OK"
Jackie supported herself in one elbow, on her side, right next to Helen. She rested a hand on Helen's stomach and it slowly slid down to find the button to her pants. She took her time to open it. To unzip it. And to slide her hand inside.
Helen sighed blissfully.
She closed her eyes and then opened them to look at Jackie, who was smiling. They kissed again and Jackie rubbed her gently.
"Hmm, nice, isn't it?"
Helen simply nodded, her eyes still closed, her teeth biting her lower lip. Jackie kept going, listening to Helen moan and sigh and then finally shake through her very first orgasm.
"Wow.." she breathlessly said. "So that's...?"
"Yeah" Jackie tilted her head.
"Hm" Helen rolled her head to a side and closed her eyes again, feeling the next few nice waves that washed over her.
They kissed and resumed only the beginning of a very long afternoon.
Rachel paced around while the other girls sat on a bench, at the airport, all waiting for Ross' plane to land. Rachel was so excited and so nervous she couldn't stand still. In fact, she felt as if all of her unquietness could easily result on a vomiting session any time soon. Before it could, they announced his arrival and Rachel rushed to the gate, like Ross was already there and would not wait, closely followed by her friends who tried hard to keep up.
As every person who wasn't Ross stepped out, Rachel's heart beated faster. When he came to sight, looking stunning in a red polo shirt and jeans, she couldn't contain the biggest smile, the one she'd been urging to smile for so long. He spotted her and both literally ran towards each other, meeting half way in an almost rib breaking hug.
"I can't believe you're here" Rachel whispered in a sing of relief, closing her eyes to feel his embrace better. His warmth was almost surreal to her.
He also closed his eyes, happy to hear her voice, to feel her tiny body on his and her scent all around, surrounding them in a magical bubble. Ross and Rachel's bubble. One that no one else was allowed in.
"I can't believe I'm here either" he whispered back.
They broke the hug to look at each other, both smiling. It was disconcerting not knowing what to do first. Hug, kiss, look, touch. There were so many things to do. But the tears he caught in her eyes made him decide on just looking at her.
"Aw, honey... don't cry, I'm right here. I love you"
She wrapped her arms around his waist again.
"I love you too"
Both smiled widely and leaned towards a passionate kiss.
The girls watched that scene each with different thoughts in their heads, but nonetheless all happy for Rachel. Michelle, in special, had lots of things in mind. She noticed the way Rachel kissed Ross, just how she touched him, bringing him closer, urging for more. And she envyed it. She realised that just because you're with someone doesn't really mean you're in love with him. And she wondered how many times she envyed what other people had, when they possibly had nothing to be cherished. Rachel? No, she really had it.
After a few minutes of kissing, Ross and Rachel broke, almost relutanctly. They'd have a lot of time for that later. That wasn't the time or place. They smiled widely at each other and kissed softly one more time, hugging tight after it.
"I've missed you so much..." she said, closing her eyes and hugging him so tight he felt like he couldn't breath. But it didn't matter, he missed her just as much and, if it wasn't for his fear of hurting her on the process, he was sure he'd do the same.
"I've missed you too, honey" he stroked her back instead. "Oh, and by the way, the uniform looks even sexier in person"
Rachel broke the hug, smiling at him.
"Oh yeah?" she teased him.
He wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him again.
"Oh my God"
He nuzzled his nose on her neck and she giggled.
"Please... look at this skirt. You can't even see my legs in this thing"
"You're that hot, Rachel"
She chuckled and kissed him again, sensually toying with him in a way that she knew he loved. After they broke, she took him by his hand.
"Now come and meet my friends"
He nodded, smiling, and both walked over to the girls, with their arms always around each other.
"Hm, you guys, this is Ross. Ross, this is Helen, that's Gwen and Michelle."
Rachel still kept hugging him and he shook hands with the girls.
"Oh, thank God you're here. If Rachel said your name one more time I would shoot myself" Gwen joked, only with a serious voice.
Ross smiled at Rachel, who looked rather shy.
"If I were you I'd stay away from Chandler and Joey for a while longer"
Rachel smiled back and kissed him again. The girls looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Okay! We're off now" Gwen almost shouted, making Ross and Rachel part, both embarassed. Gwen smiled at their reaction and continued. "We're going to town now. If you wanna meet us later, just give me a call"
They said their goodbyes and Rachel went with Ross to get his luggage and, after that, head out to the hotel where he was staying.
As if rehersed, the second they entered the room they embraced in a passionate kiss. They had a lot of catching up to do...
The clothes were removed quickly, they didn't have time to savour every little second, this time. Though he enjoyed watching her in her pretty little uniform, what lied beneath proved to be even better. The heat was increasing with every touch.
They fell naked on the king sized bed and kissed for a long time. His hands stroked her body gently yet powerfully and that alone was making Rachel moan already. Her soft girly sounds were only turning him on more. When she rubbed herself against him, he knew he would very soon lose it.
"Hm, hold that thought" he hurriedly whispered to her as he got out of bed to find a condom through his bags. Rachel watched and had to laugh to herself at his speed.
Her cellphone rang.
"Is that your..?"
"Yeah" Rachel groaned. "Let me-" she got out og bed and searched through her bag. "It can be my mom..." She found it and looked at the screen. She sighed. "Told ya" She flipped it open. "Hey, mom. (...) Yeah, he's just arrived. (...) No, we uh- we dropped his stuff now we're in town with the girls." He watched her nervously play with a strand of her golden hair. "Dinner?" she looked at her watch. "Sure, we could do that. (...) Yeah, OK, we'll be there soon. OK, mom, bye" she hung up.
Ross sat on the edge of the bed, condom on his hand.
"Now, that's gotta be a turn off"
Rachel looked at him and smiled.
"Are you kidding? We haven't been together in months..."
She came closer and kissed him provocatively.
"Hm, you've sure been naughty lately, haven't you?" he whispered while he let the kiss keep on lingering.
"You can say that again" she kissed him one more time.
They laughed and fell back onto the bed.
"We're having dinner with my family tonight, OK?"
"You're seriously gonna keep on talking about them now?" he joked, nibbling her neck. She giggled.
"If you keep on doing that on the meantime, I just might"
"OK, so do you think your mother believed you?"
She smiled.
"I don't care" She slided her hand from up his back down to his naked butt. "Come on"
He chuckled and prepared himself to enter her.
"Either way, we could go and meet the girls later to have an alibi"
"Alright"
He entered her and both sighed in union. She smiled and kissed him adoringly.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
"I'm so happy you're here"
"Believe me, so am I"
Rachel closed her eyes and sighed blissfully, well knowing this probably wasn't the most romantic encounter she'd ever envisioned for them, but it was everything it was supposed to be. Just him and her. Together and in love.
That alone made everything perfect.
I'm so sorry this has taken so long...! It's so many things I can't even begin to list! And weird part is, I had most of it written for a long time now. I just couldn't figure out what lines I could or could not cross. I'm still not sure about this chapter, but I figured I might aswell post it now and check it later. School, migrains, projects and so much more are killing me! And to top it all, now I'm writing columns about movies and fashion for a college newspaper. Not even mine! Anyway... Better post this now, my head is pounding madly! Anyway, wanna thank those who read and specially reviewed. Specially friendsaddict and Laura. Got your messages today and that's sorta what pushed me into finally posting this! Hope it's worth the wait. Things should be getting more interesting from now on. Or so I hope. Unfortunately, I can't say next chapter will be posted soon, for sure. We'll see.
