When we finish dinner we go to Monica's bedroom and prepare things to sleep but before we go to bed Phoebe pull me out to the hall and says seriously "What the hell was that all about?"
"What was what?" I say faking confusion
"You know what I'm talking about!" Of course I know! "You and Ross! Did he admit he was hitting on you?"
"No! In fact he asked me for advice of how he could get with another girl."
"How could he!"
"Well, last time I checked this was a free country, Pheebs." I said ironically
"I mean he must be planning something. He wouldn't leave you for another girl."
"'Leave me'?" I repeated confused " Phoebe we're not together"
"You should be! You two have an amazing connection! You need to tell him how you feel, Rach, before he ends up getting tired of waiting around!"
"I don't feel anything! He's a friend! I mean we had a moment but that's it, nothing more."
" 'a moment' ?" Phoebe repeats in confusion "What moment? Tell me EVERYTHING!"
"It was nothing much he asked me for the advice and while I was talking he just looked deep in my eyes and I looked at him and-"
"You kissed Ross!" She interrupts me "Oh my god we need to tell Monica!"
"No I didn't, and no we don't. The moment ended there I didn't kiss Ross and neither I will!"
"You say that now. But soon you're gonna realize that I'm right and it will be too late." She says before coming back to Monica's bedroom. That's ridiculous, I don't like Ross. I mean it's Ross, he's Monica's brother, he is the dino guy who has a major crush on me. He is a friend, who is always there for me. He's so sweet and has such beautiful eyes! Rachel, stop it! Look what Phoebe did to me!
"Oh Monica are you already going to sleep?" I ask her while she gets under the sheets
"Already? Rachel it's almost morning!"
"C'mon let's talk, I'm not tired!"
"Well I am." She says turning the light off
"Pheebs, would you help me out in here?"
"No way, Rach. I'm tired too" She says pulling her mattress next to Monica's bed
"Tomorrow is Saturday we don't need to get up early, we can stay up all night!"
"Rachel?" Monica says adjusting her head in the pillow
"what?"
"Go to sleep!"She and Phoebe say at the same time.
"Fine!" I mumble as I climb under the sheets next to Monica. I don't wanna sleep! Soon I can hear Monica and Phoebe's heavy breath and I am still awake looking at the ceiling, doing nothing, knowing that I'm not gonna fall asleep at least in the next two hours. I start looking for something to do and then I finally find a magazine on Monica's desk, I carefully climb out of the bed and tip toe to the desk not to wake Monica and Phoebe . It's way too dark to read anything in here, so I go to the living room, turn the light on and sit in the cough.
Next thing I know something is carefully stroking my arm through a blanket, that I almost certain it wasn't me who put it in here. I must've felt asleep. Hmn, I don't want to wake up! Ouch! My neck is aching, I try to move but I can't, something is on my way but I'm too lazy to open my eyes and see what's happening. The hand has now passed to stroking my hair, which I greatly enjoy but this doesn't help in any way my curiosity.
I finally make the hard decision to open my eyes. For a moment this extremely white light comes into my eyes and I can see nothing but big blur, I blink a few more times so I can see the person standing in front of me.
"AAAH!"I scream falling off the cough, extremely surprised when I see HIM, yes him Ross Geller, looking down at me, STROKING MY HAIR!
"AAH!" Ross screams back falling too, thankfully underneath me.
"What did you yell for?" I say playfully slapping him
"I yelled because you yelled!"
"I yelled because you freaked me out! What were you doing?" I say not aware that I'm still screaming.
"Ahm, Is everything okay?" Monica asks from the top of stairs "What's up with all the yelling?"
"It's just that your stupid brother tried to scare me!" I lie
"And the reason you two are lying on the floor is…"
"We fell from the cough." He explain quickly as we stand up as fast as we can
"Okay" she says not totally convinced "I'm gonna make breakfast, do you want something special?"
"No thanks Mon, I'm gonna go get the newspaper." He says moving to the door
"I'm gonna go with him" I say going to the door as well
"What were you thinking?" I say as he opens the door
"Are you alright dear?"Mss. Brown asks from her front yard, where she and her husband were watering the plants "We heard you screaming!" Mr. Brown completes
"Oh, it was nothing, it's just that she saw a rat. You know how women can get crazy about these little animals…" Ross explains to them
"But we heard you screaming as well!" Mr. Brown says
"Yeah! Because I thought something had happened to her" He looks at me the same way he had yesterday "So, I got more scared then ever" Awn!
"Oh my god I didn't know you had a girlfriend, congratulations!" Mss. Brown says excited
"Oh no, no, no, no, I'm not his girlfriend, I-I'm just a friend!" I explain a little confused
"Okay then, bye" She says embarrassed
"You still own me an explanation." I say closing the door behind us
"Ah, about that! You were sleeping in the cough and I thought you would be cold so I put the blanket on you and-"
"Hi!" Phoebe interrupts him as she comes down the stairs. It seems like I'll never know the answer to this question. I snorted and put my hands in my head "Good morning for you too Rach!" she says ironically about my snort "Well, somebody is in a good mood." She says getting closer to Ross
"I'm sorry, honey! It's just that I'm a bit tired" I say pulling her for a hug. The door bell rang, for a moment we were all thinking who could it be, since Monica's parents are away for the whole month. Ross went answer the door, it seems like he knows the person Phoebe and I get closer the door and I see a guy he had like 19 or 20, with a really weird hair, talking to Ross.
"C'mon in man!"Ross says playfully slapping the guy's back "Girls this is Chandler, he's my roommate in college. Chandler this is Rachel, and that's Phoebe."
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Phoebe whispers to me
"What?"I whisper back
"He is the guy Monica made out with last night!" She says in a low voice
"Are you sure?"I ask. She nods and a second later Monica appears in the kitchen door and says "breakfast is rea-"Chandler turns around and she immediately gasps stops talking
"Monica can we talk to for a second?" I say getting in the kitchen followed by Phoebe
"Why didn't you tell us that the guy you were with was Ross' friend?"Phoebe asks
"Because, we never really talked about it!" She says, and as is typical of Monica her voice was getting thinner, and thinner "Oh my god! What am I going to do?"
"The first question is; do you wanna, like, keep doing what you did last night?"Phoebe asks
"Yes, of course! It was amazing! But what about Ross?"
"What about him? He doesn't need to know!"I say
"You're right! But what if he doesn't want me?"
"Monica don't be silly! Of course he does. Did you see the look on his face when he saw you here?" Phoebe says getting a smile from Monica
"Don't worry, honey! He's totally into you. But if you want I can go talk to him."I say
"You would do that for me?"
"Of course!" I say pulling her for a hug "Okay, I'm gonna go. Wish me luck!"
"Wait! Rach! Don't forget to keep Ross distracted while we're here!" Monica says
"But how?"
"I think I know this one. C'mere!" Phoebe says grabbing my hand "You go talk to Chandler and I distract Ross and then you join us. Got it?" I nod and make my way to Chandler
"So, Chandler, right?"I approach him "I hear that you and Monica made out at Brittany's party last night."
"You what? Th-that's crazy! Why would you think that?" He says confused
"She told me!"
"Oh sh-she what?"
"Okay, here's the deal; she liked and she wants more, you can't tell Ross and she's right at the kitchen. Are you in or out?" I say with a little impatience looking at his stunned face
"Well, I 'm not really a fan of poker but, I'm all in!" He said with a little jump before he rushed into the kitchen.
"Hey Rach! What you're gonna do in the holidays?" Phoebe asks
"Well, for Christmas all my family is going to my grandfather's house and for New Year I have to go with my father to a party at his golf club." I say sitting on the floor close to cough beside Ross.
"Sounds great." Phoebe says
"Actually is pretty boring. My father told me that I could bring whoever I wanted to the party. Do you guys wanna come?"
"Yeah, sure! Well, it sounds much better then ordering pizzas and watching movies the whole night." Ross says
"That's so great, I've been to one of these parties!" Phoebe says, I chuckle with her excitement
"Can I bring Chandler and Joey?" Ross asks
"Yes, my father got me and my sisters 3 extra tickets for each and my youngest sister, Jill, isn't coming so I got her tickets." I respond "Who's Joey?"
"Chandler knows him for a long time and he introduced us last summer. We have a hockey game today he must get here in any time."
"Ross, when are your parents coming back?" I ask
"January fifth. Why?"
"Wow! I can't believe your parents left you for so long!" I say
"I know. But they do it every year, they like to travel a lot."
"Oh I get it. They need some mommy and daddy time." Phoebe says as if it all made sense now
"Thanks for putting that in my head, Pheebs." He says getting up "Is it alright if I put some music on?" We nodded and when that familiar music started to play a big smile draw in my face
"Oh my god! How did you know I liked U2?" I ask surprised getting up and going closer to him
"I had to be deaf to not know that." He says with a grin. Trough the first song we yelled almost the whole song. We were all having a really good time, in the beginning of the second song Phoebe got a bit tired and sat on the cough. Realizing how much I wanted, Ross made a gesture inviting me to dance with him. Although the music is slow we preferred not to stay so close to each other but at the end we're dancing like a real couple. By the time of the third song his hands are on my waist, mine are in his neck, suddenly he starts to sing
"See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side. I wait for you" I love so much this song, I couldn't just be all normal and dance, so I rested my head on his chest and started to sing with him "Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait. And I wait without you" At this point I wasn't singing anymore so he placed his hand on my chin and lifted my face and sang again "With or without you" but now was different he was almost saying those words meaning them then he said again "With or without you, I can't live" Okay, now he got the time of the lyrics wrong. What's happening? He leaned his head into mine until our foreheads were together. I feel the urge to kiss him but I'm curious to see what he'll do. Time seemed to have stop still for one minute, our breath synchronized, the music playing on the background, our faces almost touching.
"KISS HER ALREADY!" Phoebe yells from the cough ruining the moment. We both look at her in surprise and then at each other we part rapidly and I say:
"I gonna see with Monica if the food is ready." I enter the kitchen almost in a run to find Monica and Chandler sitting on the table and apparently just talking "Monica can I talk to you in private?"
"That's okay Chandler is already leaving." Monica says hiding something. He leaves. "What happened?"
"I almost kissed your brother!"
"You what?" Monica says with her voice thinner than ever
"I said 'almost' okay, calm down. We were listening to music, and then he invited me to dance, suddenly he was singing and when I realized we were so close I could fell his breath on mine!"
" I heard Phoebe yelling 'kiss her already' but I figured you were watching a movie." She says
"I'm so nervous! I don't know what to do! I don't know if he really likes me or if he is just teasing me for fun. I don't know if I like him or if I'm just a little moved by his teasing. And not knowing this kind of stuff is driving me crazy!" I say out of breath
"Okay, so until you're sure of what he wants, just play along." Monica says
"So if he tries to kiss me I should let him?" I say a little confused. I'm almost sure it won't end well but I should at least give it a try.
"Yes! But I think he wouldn't go that far." I nod and then I remember that just moments ago she was here with Chandler and that I might have interrupted something
"How was with Chandler?"
"It was great, talked most of the time, we decided to keep it a secret and to tell just our friends."
"Is he telling Ross? Are you gonna tell Phoebe?"
"People who will know: Me, Chandler, you, Phoebe and his friends Joey. Oh, and he said that he might tell his mother so she won't he gay."
"Are you guys, like, dating?"
"I don't know, maybe, he didn't ask or anything but he said that we would repeat it sometime." She says shy
"I'm so happy for you! He looks like such a nice guy. But what did you do about Ross?"
"Well, actually I was kinda hoping you would help me!" I shook my head furiously "Think of this as ways to play along, you know, go after him too, this way he'll freak out, tell you the truth and everything will be over sooner."Bad felling, bad felling!
"Okay, but if it doesn't work is your entire fault! Now let's go back, otherwise they might think we ran away or something." I say entering the living room and I notice there's someone else in there
"Girls this is Joey a friend of Chandler. Joey this is my little sister Monica and her friend Rachel." Ross says
"Monica?" He says looking for Chandler who nods slightly in response "Oh, hi!" He says getting exactly who she is "Rachel, ahm, how you doin'?" He says getting closer
"Don't!" Ross says getting in the way, Joey walks away
"Okay is everyone ready for hockey?"
"Yeah!" The guys say in excited before getting their things and go talking about something of the rangers.
