A Shoulder To Lean On

Seceret Girlfriend

"Well..that doesn't make it any better Joey " Monica punctuated her words.

"I cant believe you threw that poor girls fake legs in fire"! Exclaimed Chandler as Phoebe and Rachel stifled their laughter. Joey, being the one who is eated by embaressement have finally decided to give up.

"See it was an accident. I told you guys...i didnt do it on purpose". Said joey,  massaging his temples.

"But that was one hell of a story. He really won this round".

Announced pheobe. She patted his head in appreciation  while he tried to pull the hand away.

The gang except Ross were hanging out at Chandler and Monica's. They hadn't  been together since a long time because of the changing time schedule of their works. So today they assured themselves that they would be there as usual, chilling and having fun with no one but themselves. But at the last moment, Ross got a call from the head of the department and he had to rush.

"Where the hell is Ross is anyway. It's been two freaking hours!" Exclaimed Monica.

"No idea! It's like he don't even know us anymore. Anytime, we make some plan, he is so busy with his college stuffs". Said chandler as he switched the tv off and chucked the remote to the couch.

"I wonder what's this huge college stuff? It's just about random rocks right? Even Joey could take a class on it".

"Oh! I wonder Chandler..! The other day I heard his class for fun and its pretty hard. Do you know the homo erectus.."
Rachel started to explain when Joey closed his ears with the palms of his hand.

"No...No! We have a Ross. We love him. And thats enough. Dont need other dinouser stories". Protested Joey.

Rachel smiled to herself at the comment of joey. Little did they know about the amount of dinauser stories that she've heard in the span of dating life. She would've laughed at someone if they had told her that one day, she would fall in love to a dinauser geek. Her eyes tinkled at the thought of him.

"Hey Rach..you are his roommate right"? Asked Chandler by wearing a thoughtful look on his face.

"I most certainly am". Said Rachel as she took a sip of water.

"You think Ross got some seceret girlfriend"? Rachel almost spit her water.

"What makes you think that? Why would he hide it from us about his girlfriend"? Interrupted pheobe even before Rachel could answer.

"I don't know..But Ross is really secretive these days". Chandler said as he re did the table cloth folding.

"Do you think its that college student who wrote admiration letter in the form of evaluvation? Theres a high chance that she maybe his "college stuffs". Said Joey by airquoting the word college stuff.

Rachel gulped hard. She clearly knows about the "college stuffs" which he've been doing,but its with no college chick,but with her. But..Ross has an admirer..? That too 10 years youngee than him?  And he've hid it from her and told others..?

"Hey you guys"..Ross announced. The gang turned their faces to his direction and beamed at him. His eyes momentarily shifted to the the pair of eyes he've been yearning to see. But felt slight uneasy as he saw that his girlfriend was not meeting his gaze.

"So what are we talking about"? Ross put his bag away and collected his left over lasagna from Monica and sat opposite to Rachel.

Rachel saw Ross closing his eyes while enjoying the food.

"You were hungry Ross"? Asked Monica,patting his arm.

"You bet".

Rachel meanwhile just looked at him and smiled. Ofcourse, he is not supposed to see her smiling at him right now...but she could do it seceretly. At normal conditions, she would never miss a chance to slip her foot out from the shoe and sneek her foot under the table, rubbing his legs in a most effective way to turn him on, as been prooved from past experiances.  But today is different.
