The One Where Gladys Is Asked To Move In
AN: whatever. I hope you like the shorter chapters.
DISCLAIMER: yea, yea, you know it already!
Rachel turned the pages of the classifieds briskly. She was looking for her perfect job. All the hard work she had put in Bloomingdales and in Ralph Lauren wasn't just going to vanish in thing air. No! She was going to redeem the years of labor to get an even better job.
"Stripper: no, belly dancer: no, waitress: GOD NO!" Rachel was getting annoyed, why weren't there any jobs in fashion here? …and even more-so: why are there only jobs that are demeaning to women? She threw the paper on the ground…she was furious that people weren't lining up on the street to interview her (being the drama-queen she was).
"What's wrong sweetie?" asked Ross as he walked in from the kitchen, while holding a plate of cookies. He carefully set them on the table, and then took one and bit into it. "I said: What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just…I am so aggravated with this whole 'job hunting' crap! I mean, I dunno-I dunno- I dunno. I JUST WANT A JOB! WHY CAN'T I FIND ONE?"
"Look, Rach, maybe this is good for you, you know. Take it easy for a while, take a break from work."
"Yea, maybe you're right! Yea, you are right! You are so right! Imma take some time off of work, imma take care of Emma, and you, and everyone else!" Rachel exclaimed.
So, no one told you life was going to be this way,
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A,
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year,
But...
I'll be there for you!
When the rain starts to pour,
I'll be there for you!
Like I've been there before,
I'll be there for you!
'Cause you're there for me too...
Joey and Gladys are sitting in Joey's apartment doing a crossword puzzle. Gladys is sitting on Joey's lap and in the recliner.
"You know what," Joey begins, "I love-I love this." And right there and then, Joey saw the need, for the first time: he could feel it in his heart. Never before did he understand, but now he did. "I love- you! I love you Gladys!"
"Oh my- I love you to Joseph Tribianni!" Gladys grabbed Joey and started to kiss him.
"Do you wanna move in?" Joey asked, not thinking before speaking.
"Oh my God, yes, I would love to move in!" That's when Joey realized what he had said. Wait, that was too fast! He thought, why-why did I say that? Oh my god. And then he changed his mind a little, well, I couldn't have said that if I really didn't think it was going to work out, right? But what about Rachel? In the back of Joey's mind he still was in love with Rachel (Chapter 4: The One Where Monica and Chandler come to Town).
