Find my Way to You

On the Road Again

"Hey, Rach are you almost ready baby?" Ross yelled through the apartment holding both their suitcases. Today was the day they were leaving for the beach and everyone else was outside waiting on them.

"Yeah, I'm ready" she popped out from the other room giddily. As soon as he saw her his eyes almost popped out of his head. Before him, she was wearing her red bikini, extremely short jean shorts, a white tank top, and her hair braided off to the side with her sunglasses on.

Ross almost lost his balance and dropped all the bags to walk up to her and kiss her. "You're so beautiful." he whispered into her ear and rubbed the small of her back. "and no, there's no way you're wearing that around Joey."

Rachel laughed as she thought he was teasing but saw him pull one of his long sleeve shirts out and hand it to her.

"Are you kidding? Its like 90 degrees outside!" she asked in shock. There was no way he would make her wear that.

"Yeah, but you're also hot and Joey is uncensored." he snorted and Rachel just gave him a goofy smile and walked out the door patting his chest on the way out.

Once they reached outside they saw the rest of the gang waiting for them by the car.

"Finally, I mean is it really necessary to have sex 5 minutes before you're supposed to leave." Phoebe scoffed slightly rolling her eyes at them.

"Phoebe, we didn't have sex." Rachel giggled.

"Well, that's usually what you're doing so I just figured." she replied and Rachel stood there get mouth agape until Ross knudged her.

"She's totally right Rach I mean 324." he mouthed the number and Rachel just elbowed him in the gut and climbed in the car where everyone else was waiting.

"wow Rach lookin hot." Joey grinned and winked at her.

"Stop!" Ross yelled and got in the car.

They had gotten a bigger car that had two different sections. Chandler was driving and Monica was in the passengers seat. In the next row back, Phoebe and Joey were sitting playing car games and singing, and in the back row was Ross and Rachel canoodling as usual.

"Could they be any louder? I can even hear them making out, dear lord!" Phoebe yelled but they ignored her and Rachel stayed seated on Ross's lap kissing him.

"Yeah, why do we have to sit in front of them?" Joey whined pointing back to them.

"Because Joe if I allowed you to drive we would never get there." Chandler stated and Monica laughed.

"He makes a good point." Joey shrugged his shoulders.

They drove for another few hours until it was dark out. Everyone was asleep except for Chandler, Ross and Rachel.

Ross and Rachel stayed extra quiet in order for no one to know they were awake so they could have some time to themselves and not wake anyone up.

Rachel had her head rested on Ross's lap and he was gently rubbing his hand over her stomach as she played with his hand.

"I love you." he whispered and Rachel quietly sat up allowing him to lay down beside her. There wasn't much room but they found a way to squeeze beside each other and face one another.

"Come here." Ross reached out and held her super right to him to assure her she wasn't going to fall off. He kissed her forehead Rachel buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"Baby, I love you so much." he repeated softly and Rachel shook her head yes and carressed his cheek.

"goodnight, I love you too." she whispered and kissed him.

Rachel had soon fallen asleep in his arms but Ross was still awake thinking about his future with Rachel and how lucky he was to have her. Just then the song with or without you came on the radio and he squeezed her tighter to him and felt a tear escape as he held her. He knew right then how much he needed her, when the thought of ever losing her shook him up. He muffles sobs woke her up and looked up and saw little tears slowly fall from his eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked a little panicky and Ross just responded with a million I love you's into her ear.

Rachel of course feared the worse and thought Ross was planning on doing something that would ruining the both of them.

"Ross you're scaring me. Just tell me everything alright. With us." she questioned again

"Everything's perfect, Rach. I'm just so glad to have you. Just please promise me forever."

"I already gave you forever baby." she whispered back and silently giggled while placing her hand in his chest and kissing his neck. "Don't worry about that." she assured him and they soon dozed off until the next morning when they finally arrived.

They headed to the beach house and everyone settled into their rooms.

Rachel collapsed onto the bed and Ross stood there looking at her.

"This place brings back both good and bad memories." he joked but then regretting it.

"Lets not talk about the letter and or Bonnie okay? It's just you and me now." Rachel said sauntering over to him and unbuttoning his shirt.

Ross nodded and whispered yeah and kissed her.

"Now come on, let's go to the beach!" Rachel clapped and headed out the door.
