Description: a new worker starts at the cafe once Rachel quit when she got a better job, she has no style compared to Rachel but the fashion loving woman can't help be enchanted by her. What happens when y/n moves in down the hall from joey, chandler, Monica and Rachel's apartments.
—————— Rachel's pov-
I walked into the cafe and saw everyone chatting away but stopped when a beautiful but weirdly dressed woman in an apron placed their drinks infront of them, joey and Phoebe checking out her ass when she bent down beside 4 year old Ben who I know Monica and I are babysitting for the night while Emily and Ross set up his new room.
"I'm guessing this baby hot chocolate is for you handsome." She smiled and placed the drink beside Ben before pulling out a pack of crayons and her notepad out handing them to him. "Enjoy your drinks."
I watched as she walked back towards the counter and served a man who was waiting on her.
"Hey guys." I smiled and sat down, angling myself so I could see her working. "Who was that?"
"Her name is Y/n, she just started work here and moved in the apartment down the hall from us." Joey says as he checks her out.
"Yeah, she's really nice." Monica smiled as she leaned into chandler, it's weird seeing them as a couple but it's nice to see them happy.
"So how's Ross and Emily settling into the new apartment?" I asked as I continued to watch y/n make coffee's she looks way better at the job than I ever was.
"They love it, Emily is already talking about a nursery and bens room is coming along amazingly apparently." She whispered the last bit.
"I'm going to make a move." Joey said before going over to the counter.
Five minutes later he came back over.
"She's gay." He sighed and pretended to read the news paper as the group laughed at him.
I felt relieved at his words, I have no clue why but i do.
"We tried to tell you, the way she dresses is a clear sign." Monica laughed.
I looked her outfit up and down, she was wearing baggy greenish jeans and an ugly wool sweater.

Joey ran into the apartment as I was painting Monica's nails for her date with chandler tonight.
"What's up?" Monica asked with a laugh.
"The hot gay girl is moving in next door!" He said as he went to the fridge. "I've embarrassed myself infront of her now I have to live next to her."
"Oo we should take her a lasagna!"Monica smiled at me.
"I'll grab one out the freezer and take her one later." I replied before focusing on her nails again.
—————
I nervously knocked on y/n's apartment door, waiting for her to answer.
"Oh Uh- hi, latte with a pump of caramel syrup." She smiled at me gently.
"Rachel, I heard you were moving in and I got sent with a lasagna by my roommate." I smiled and handed it to her.
"Oh thank you! I was just about to order pizza but this saves me some money!" She smiled and walked further into the apartment. "Would you like to stay for dinner, my apartment is a mess but I have a table and plates."
I laughed at her comment and nodded following her into the apartment it was about the same size as mine and Monica,s apartment but it doesn't have a balcony.
"So why did you move here?" I asked as she placed the lasagna in the oven and grab a couple glasses from a box.
"I needed to have a fresh start so my cousin Gunther offered me a job until I find a proper job." She smiled and handed me a glass. "I have red wine or water."
"Red wine please." I smiled as she poured wine into my glass.
——————— "Y/n!" I giggled as I watched her jump beside me on the couch.
"Y/n how many times do I have to tell you not jump on my couch?" Monica scolded as she handed y/n a glass of wine anyway.
"I don't know till it sinks in?" Y/n laughed as she leaned against me.
"Y/n-" I groaned at the weight on my arm, moving so she was now laying on my lap and her wine on the table.
"Will you two just date alright." Chandler said sarcastically as he walked out of Monica's bedroom.
"We'll date when you grow a beard." Y/n threw back as she sat up and chucked a pillow at him. "I need a cigarette."
We all groaned at her going outside to smoke.
We all tried to convince her to quit but she wouldn't, she said she'll quit when she gets a girlfriend and she tells her to stop.
She always says that looking at me, mostly because I'm almost always the one begging her to stop.
It's starts raining and she groans, trying to come in with the cigarette still lit.
"Y/n, that thing is not coming into my home while it is lit." I crossed my arms as I walked towards the window she was trying to climb through.
She glared at me gently before sitting down on the soaked bench and putting a pillow over her head.
"Come on this is stupid, just come in and get into some dry clothes. " I sighed as I watched her.
I really love her and care for her and not the way I care for my other friends.
I'm in love with her and I'm pretty sure she in love with me too.
She sighed and out the cigarette out and came inside stomping out the apartment and towards her own.
"What are you waiting for?" Monica said as everyone stared at me.
"What?"
"You are both in love with each other! Go after her and tell her how you feel." Phoebe laughed and stole y/n's glass of wine.
I thought for a moment before following y/n to her apartment.
I walked in to see her in a sports bra and shorts, her hair still dripping down her shoulders as she stared at her packet of cigarettes.
"I'm in love with you and I really wish you would stop smoking because I don't want to lose you to cancer." I admitted when she finally looked up at me.
"Rachel you can't do this to me! You made it extremely clear you that you are straight." She sighed and lit another cigarette.
"I thought I was but I am in love with you and I want to be with you." I cried as I walked over and sat next to her.
"Your being serious?" She asked as she looked at me with tears running down her face.
"I am, I would kiss you to prove it but I hate the taste of cigarettes." I said rolling my eyes at the smell that was leaving that stupid cancer stick.
She put it out and went to the bathroom and came back five minutes later and pulled me into a kiss.
"I love you too Rachel." She smiled and held me as we cuddled on her sofa.
"I love you so much." I giggled as she kissed all over my face.
"Aww style loves style-less." Phoebe cooed from the door making us pull away from each other and seeing everyone stood by the door.
"Geez! I'm in a bra!" She groaned and moved so I was covering her.
