Carrie sat on her bed as she looked at the clock. By now , Rachel would have gotten her valentines surprise. She took a Marlboro from her Gucci bag and held it between her fingers. When did love become so complicated? Rachel and her really were the lucky ones. They had found their prince or as Rachel had said her "lobster." Taking a sip of her wine, she heard the door.
"Hey kiddo." She heard a deep masculine voice from the next room. Jumping from the bed, she ran barefoot in her Michael Kors tank and capris to the living room. Big was standing there as large as life. "Happy Valentines Sweetie." He said as he presented her with a single stem rose. "Big spender." Carrie teased as she stood on tip toes so she could kiss her boyfriend. With her other hand, she grabbed the rose and Big put down the strap on his suitcase and lifted Carrie into his arms. "I missed you.' She whispered in his ear. He turned to her and then smiled and whispered back. "I missed you too."
"I can't believe this is our house." Said Rachel as Ross guided her through the living room into the kitchen. Monica stood at the stove stirring the chocolate mousse for dessert ."You little sneak." Rachel smiled as she gave Monica a hug. "You knew about this all along." "I did too." Chandler said as he came from the upstairs with Joey, Rachel looked at her two closest friends. "You said you were spending the day with Samantha?" Rachel said as she went over to Joey. "Well I couldn't come out here without you knowing why, so I lied , but when me and Chandler finish putting this bed together., then I am going to be with Samantha." Rachel felt so good , that all her friends had helped in this surprise. She opened the French doors and there was a table with fancy china and champagne chilling. Two silver candlebras sat on the pink linen tablecloth. In the middle of the table was a vase filled with pink long stemmed roses.
"So do you like it?" Ross asked nervously. "Yes , I love it." The two of them began to kiss. Chandler cleared his throat. "Well now that you are here , I am sure you want to be alone, so we will be taking off , because we have our own celebrations, and I am sure you want to get back to your own." Chandler took Monica's hand , "Come on honey, the night is young and we have our own surprise." Monica smiled and waved as they went out of the door. Joey turned to Ross and said . "Have fun tonight." He giggled. Even though he was an adult, Joey would eternally be the twelve year old boy. Ross walked over and closed the door . "Well, we have a dinner to eat and I have some after dinner activities planned as well." He said . "Lead the way." Rachel smiled as they walked to the table.
Steve pushed up the bridge of his wire rimmed glasses as he stood in front of the door. The snow was beginning to blow as the daylight began to sink on the metropolis. He walked up the stairs of the Brooklyn brownstone carrying a handle bag .
Miranda came to the door holding Brady. She greeted her husband with a kiss. "What is this?" Miranda said as she tried to peek into the large bag. "In a minute." Steve said as he pushed past her. "Mah!' he screamed as his mother came from her chair where she was watching Jeopardy. Mrs. Brady smiled at her son. "Happy Valentines Day , mah." He said , then he reached into the bag and pulled out a large heart shaped box of chocolates. She reciprocated with a kiss.
"Now I know you are a big boy, and this valentines day stuff is just for girls and stuff, but you are my big boy." Steve opened the bag and then let Brady pull out a large teddy bear. "Bear." He said as he giggled. Miranda scolded Brady. "What do you say to Daddy?" Brady looked up at his father, "Thank you." Then Steve took out the blue Tiffany's bag. "And I haven't forgotten Mommy." Steve gave Miranda the drawstring bag. "Happy Valentines sweetheart." Steve said as he handed it to her. She looked in the bag and then pulled out the small velvet box. Opening it, her mouth dropped. "Steve , it is gorgeous, how did you pay for this?" Steve shyly looked down. "I put a mortgage down on Scout, so I could open an account in my own name." Miranda smiled and put on the mother's ring and then kissed him passionately.
"I love you , Steve Brady." She whispered as they walked to the bed room.
Samantha was wearing a red strapless Badgley Mischka mini dress as she stood at Joey's door. He was coming up the stairs with a bag as he spotted her. "Hello there Mr. Tribbiani , she purred , "I am your own private valentine and I have some kinky surprises planned. " Joey smiled ."I like the dress." Samantha started to unfasten in it in the hallway, "It comes off you know." Suddenly she was standing in the hallway between 19 and 20 in a red LaPerla bra and red lace thong panties. Joey wrapped his coat around her and led her in. Samantha strutted to the couch between Hugsy and Marvin the Martian. She lounged on the yellow couch that had seen way too much action .
"I got some wine ." said Joey. "That should heat things up." Samantha said as she followed him to the counter and he took out a couple jelly jars. "Here we go." He announced as he poured. Samantha looked at the makeshift wine glasses. She was used to drinking out of Baccarat or Waterford. This guy actually used old jelly jars to drink from. "Bachelors . " thought Samantha. "Here's to a night of great sex." Samantha said as the wine passed her lips. "What is this?" she said as she spit it out. Joey couldn't understand why she didn't like the wine. "It is the best wine that four bucks can buy." Joey defended himself. "Samantha , I am not a classy guy like my friends, I just try to be myself , I mean there probably hasn't been a girl in the Tri State area I haven't slept with. I don't know about fancy food like my friend , Chandler or fancy wines like my friend Ross. I just know that you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever been with , and that is a lot." Samantha thought that was the sweetest line that any guy had ever given her, Richard Wright included. Samantha threw her arms around Joey's neck even though she towered over him in her Jimmy Choo heels. "Let's fuck." She said knocking him onto the couch.
Harry came in to see Charlotte setting the table with the Waterford and the Lenox dishes with the fleur de leuis pattern. Her loving hand placed the silver by the fancy dishes. "It's not Friday." Said Harry as he came into the formal dining room. "No it is valentines day." Said Charlotte as she put down the pink linen napkins and threw her arms around her husband. "Happy Valentines Day, Mr. Goldenblatt." She said smiling. At that moment, Elizabeth Taylor wagged her tail as she trotted into the room , hearing that her daddy was home. Her barking made Taylor crawl into the room as well.
"I have got presents for all my ladies.' Harry said as he sat down the bag. He pulled out the collar and the chew toy for Elizabeth Taylor. "Daddy." The small Asian child uttered as she looked up . Harry lifted her up and then presented her with the mink bear. "He is going to be your new friend, Taylor. In the US , we honor the people we love on this day. That is why I am giving you a present today. I am saying that I love you." Taylor came over and kissed her father on the cheek. Harry then pulled out the mother's ring and placed it on Charlotte's finger. "And this is because I love you."
Monica and Chandler walked up the path. " I am so glad we are going to have them as neighbors. It will be just like when we lived in the city." Monica smiled. "Are you sure you are n't going to mind living so close to your brother again?" Chandler asked. "They are our best friends ." Monica said ."Yeah they are." He put his arm around her and led her to the door.
"You have been a little mysterious Mr. Bing." Monica had noticed that Chandler had stopped talking as they walked from Ross' new house to theirs. "I have my reasons." He said as he walked onto the front porch. He looked at Monica and then opened the door. Her mouth dropped.
