Carol was sitting at her desk looking over Wuthering Heights. Romance yes that is what she wanted again, The dashing Heathcliffe carrying her over the Moors. She looked at the clock over on the nighstand. Yes, it was definitely time for a break. Carol got up and went over to her closet. She pulled out a print blouse and a short skirt. After pulling her hair up into a ponytail she grabbed her keys and got the first bus.

She didn't even know why she was going to this party tonight. Boredom? Or was it something else? A guy she had never met before had invited her to hear his lame ass band and she was traipsing way across campus to do that. She must have been out of her mind.

Was she going to show up? That was the question on his mind. He knew the odds weren't good. Last week, his sister came to visit him and brought up the "one." Rachel, the girl that all others would be measured from. Her auburn hair, her smile, she was the just the girl he had dreamt of since forever. But to Rachel, Ross was invisible, she only saw him as the geeky older brother of her best friend , Monica.As the band was setting up, Ross kept looking to see the new arrivals as the party was beginning. "So did she show up?" asked Chandler, Ross's roommate. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued to adjust the mike stand in front of his keyboard. Chandler went over and combed his hair. Even though he had a model's face, he had about as much luck with the ladies as Ross, so tonight was going to be a different story. Unfortunately, as the party was starting, a guy strolled into the party with two girls on his arm. It was obvious he was a city boy, born and raised in New York. It seemed like all he had to do was smile and say "How you doin?" Chandler and Ross looked over at him and just shook their heads. "Well so much for getting lucky tonight." Chandler drooly exclaimed.

After about three beers, Ross was no longer worried about the girl from the other day. He just decided that it was a fluke and play his music tonight. Suddenly, over by the door she waltzed into the party. That golden hair and that smile. At that point, Ross turned to Chandler and said, "That's her, the blonde." Chandler carefully eyed her and gave him a thumbs up . "Okay change of plans, we are going to do Golden Haired Dream." announced Ross. The music stopped and Ross did his keyboard solo to segue into the vocals.

Only yesterday can it seem

You were no more than my golden hair dream

Now you are so much more to me

Now you are my everything

Carol looked over at the band. She was wondering where this voice was coming from. It was almost as if it was calling to her. She walked to the middle of the room. Oh my God it was that guy and he was singing the most romantic ballad. She rushed over to the stage and smiled at Ross. He walked away from his keyboard and carried the microphone as he knelt down and started singing just to her.

Eyes of blue, hair of gold

You're the one I want to hold

In my arms so tight

And make love to you through the night

Carol stared at Ross with all the intensity of a fire. He looked deep into her eyes as he finished the song. Slowly he walked off the stage, almost sauntering because he knew how his night was going to end. Unfortunately when he hit the last stair, he tripped and fell. Carol just smiled at him and helped him up. Together they walked over and got a beer from the keg.

"That was beautiful , you have a wonderful voice." Carol gushed.

"Thanks I kind of wrote the song too." Ross boasted.

"It sounded like you were almost singing it to just to me." Carol shyly said as smiled.

Ross hated to lie. It was a song about Rachel but since that wasn'tgoing to happen."I did."

Carol looked right at Ross. There was just something about him. She didn't know if it was the song or his eyes, but she felt like she had to have him. Ross knew something was going to happen . He slowly leaned over and brushed his lips against hers. She started to kiss him lightly but suddenly passion took over and he stuck his tongue in her mouth which made the kiss even deeper. He put his hands in her hair and moved them down to her back.She grabbed his ass and they started to move towards the porch. Suddenly a wave of panic started to come over Ross and he tripped on his way back to the stage.

"Chandler, chandler what do I do?" he said with panic in his voice as the band was tearing down.

"I think the obvious thing is to stop right now and go home and meditate." Chandler said with his usual wit. "Or go nail her."

"But I …uh…uh.. I'v e never had sex before with a girl." Ross whispered.

"Saving yourself for Rachel?" yeah can see why he thought since he made out with the single obsession of his best friend."Dude you just got to do it. Go back to her dorm, put on some music and show her what the Rossanator is made of." Chandler smiled and put his arm around Ross's shoulder."I'm so proud my baby's growing up." he sniffed. Ross took Chandler's arm off of him and walked away.

"I will see you tomorrow Dude." he said confidently."Come on Carol, let's blow this Popsicle stand." Ross threw his arm around Carol in a macho way and led her out into the street. Together they waited for a bus. Carol put her gloves on because it was late October and it was starting to get colder. Ross through his scarf around his neck and hugged Carol tighter. "Cold honey?" he asked sincerely. "Not anymore, darling." she said. Immediately they started to resume the kiss from the party. It felt good , it felt right. They were starting to feel like two people that had found the best in each other. Before long, the bus pulled up and the two students pulled away from each other as they walked onto the bus.

Finally Carol and Ross walked in the dorm room. Carol took off her coat and Ross sat on the bed. He threw his coat on the floor and then nervously looked up at Carol. She lit a candle and then put on some Styx ."Oh wow I love this song."Ross exclaimed.

"Please sing it to me. " begged Carol.

You know it's you babe, whenever I get weary and I've had enough feel like giving up
You know it's you babe giving me the courage and the strength I need please believe that it's true Babe I love you

Ross softly crooned the words of the song to Carol as he moved his lips to her neck. He kissed it softly as he held her in his arms . She moaned softly. He moved his lips down on her shoulder as she took her blouse off and laid it on the bed. She turned around and started to take off his jacket and the pastel t shirt underneath. She ran her fingers through the hair on his chest and he slowly laid her on the bed. He was very gentle and inexperienced. Now he was starting to panic .

"What's wrong ?" asked Carol. Ross didn't know whether to tell her or not, "Oh I feel like an idiot, here I am trying to show you that I am a man who knows about women and I have a confession to make…I've never made love before I am a virgin." Ross whined. Carol looked deep into his brown eyes , "Oh Ross that's okay..tonight I want it to feel like it is my first time too..it will be because it will be with you." She laid back on the bed and guided him over her . Slowly and carefully he did what felt right as he pulled inside of her. She had a look of surprise on her face as he knew how to please her on the first try. The night went on as the two young lovers held onto each other as it slowly crept toward the daylight. When the sun came up, it had happened, Carol Willick and Ross Geller were in love and nothing could ever change that.
