Rose sighed sliding down in her seat. They were still at the emergency room since the woman at the registration wouldn't help them. She was extremely tired after all the hype at the hockey game. Joey glanced over at the brunette smiling to himself.
He could see she struggled to close her eyes due to the discomfort of her seat. Joey nudged the girl, sending her eyes to flicker up at him. He patted his shoulder signalling for her to rest her head there.
Rose smiled happily scooting closer to her best friend before resting her head on his shoulder. Joey played with her beautiful strands wondering what it would be like to be with her. To feel her lips on his, to hold her whenever he wanted and to hopefully one day live and grow a family with her.
Ross stared at his friend and sister. He never really liked the idea of his youngest sister going out with guys, he genuinely thought none of them were good enough for her. But something inside him felt like Joey was not like those other guys and that he knew just how well to treat his sister.

Rose stood in front of Joey next to Phoebe. The group were playing twister back at the Geller twins apartment. "Okay, Monica, right foot red." Ross instructed. "We could've played monopoly but nooo." Monica crossed her leg over the other.
The door knocked as Chandler went to get it. The stranger passed Chandler a pillow not uttering one word. "Thanks." Chandler closed the door. "Okay, Rose. Right hand blue." Ross spun the arrow.
Rose bent down to rest her right hand on the blue circle. She turned her head slightly to see Joey smirking at her ass. "Joey!" Rose startled him glaring right into his soul. He raised his arms up in a surrender position shifting his gaze.
The phone began to ring, Chandler picked it up. "Hey Rachel it's the visa card people." Chandler removed the phone from his ear.
"Will you take my place?" Rachel asked her head bowed down. "Alright, yes. This is Rachel." He said into the phone as Rachel ran over waving her hand. "No."
Chandler realised what she meant and took her place in the game. "To the grey." Ross instructed Chandler as he reached over the three bodies who were all crouched before his. They began to yell as Chandler made them all fall.
"Joe, your on me." Rose managed to let out her voice strained. "Oh." Joey realised quickly getting up reaching his hand out for Rose to take it.

Later that night Joey returned back to the Geller twin's apartment hoping to find Monica awake and Rose asleep. He knocked on the door quietly. Slow footsteps could be heard from the other side of the door.
The door opened slowly revealing a tired Monica who yawned, her brows furrowed at the sight of Joey at her door at 4:00 in the morning. "Joey?" Joey nodded rubbing his hands together.
"Can I talk to you?" Joey asked. Monica nodded opening the door wide and sitting down at her sofa.
"Joe, what are you doing here at 4:00 in the morning?" Monica asked making coffee for the both of them. "I couldn't sleep and I was meaning to talk to you about something." He looked down playing with his fingers.
"Well, go on." Monica sat beside him passing him the mug.
"It's about Rose." He scratched the back of his neck. Monica became alerted at the name of her sister. "Nothing bad. It's just... I've been having these weird feelings around her. Whenever she's around, touches me or even just smiles i get these weird fluttery things in my stomach. Even my cheeks turn red. I thought my game had dropped but it has to be something else." He explained.
Monica smiled to herself. "Wait why are you smiling." He asked bewildered. "Because you, Joey Tribbiani." She pointed at his chest. "Like Rosaline Geller."
"No i- i don't, it's just just... we are best friends. I wouldn't want to ruin that." Joey shook his head drinking the hot drink in his hand.
"It's worth the risk, Joey. Rose loves you either way and I don't think you will somehow ruin the beautiful friendship you have. I'm pretty sure she likes you too." Monica smirked. Joey stared down at the ground smiling.
He laid in bed that night thinking over and over about what Monica had told him and finally come to the conclusion that he, Joey Tribbiani had a massive crush on his best friend, Rosaline Geller.
