"Aaron In New york" Part Four
Friends/Chicago Hope Crossover
Monica and Aaron followed behind the ambulence to the hospital in Aarons rental car.
"Sorry about Joey." Aaron apologized.
"Its not your fault he thought he could swallow that thing whole." Monica assured him.
"Yeah." Aaron. "We are having quite a relationship, cruises, impromptu surgery in someones kitchen."
"Hey, you came through with flying colors. You took charge of the situation and with a steady hand you saved Joeys life." Monica said smiling as it started to rain. "Maybe Phillip will give you back your job sooner than you will think."
"I'm not sure, bueracratic red tape around hospital is sticker and tighter than ever." Aaron sighed as they stopped at a stop light. "It may be a while before I'm let back into an operating room. I'm certain of that."
"You want to know what I'm certain of?" Monica said coming a little closer to Aaron.
"Whats that?"
"I'm fairly certain I'm falling in love with you."
"Really?" Aaron said moving toward her. "I'm certain I am too. In fact..."
"Stop talking and kiss me." Monica said as they movedin to kiss. As they were about to kiss a loud horn sounded from behind them, and Monica and quickly seperated.
"The lights green you jackass!" The truckdriver behind them shouted.
"Sorry." Aaron said and drove through the stoplight. "It never ends does it?"
Monica smiled and laughed.
"Now where did that ambulence go?" Aaron said as they turned onto the parkway of the hospital.
No sooner than they had arrived Joey was all sewn up in the Er and ready to go home. Aaron and Monica, soaking wet from running from the last parking space they could find got there in time to see Joey catching a cab.
"Hey Mon!" Joey said waving to her.
"Hey Joey, are you feeling all right?" Monica asked while shaking her hair dry.
"I'm fine now. Gotta remember: chew then swallow." Joey cracked as a cab finally arrived.
"He'll be fine." Monica said as Joey left.
"Well, well." Aaron heard a voice. "What do we have hear, a cadet reunion?" Aaron instantly recognized it.
"Jeffrey, why are you following me? Are you like some kind of guardian angel?" Aaron said turning to see Jeffrey in back of him.
"I could be." Jeffrey said. He finally noticed Monica. "So this is the famous Ms Geller we have heard about. You better get her out of that wet outfit soon."
"Jeffrey." Aaron interuppted.
"I'm just worried about her welfare, about her getting a cold with the wet clothes." He turned to Monica. "Did you in anyway see any kind of sexual overtone in that?" Monica moved to speak. "Didn't think so."
"How did you know we would be here?" Aaron asked.
"I didn't, for your information." Jeffrey said. "I am here to do some research, as well as catch up on you once in a while."
"It's been more than once in a while Jeffrey." Aaron said. A pager went off and both naturally checked their pockets.
"Thats me." Jeffrey said looking at his pager. "Being nosey is patent Geiger, Aaron. I'll be around here as long as you are then I will go back to my hum drum life with Alicia."
"Great." Aaron said. "Goodbye Jeffrey."
Jeffrey took his cue and went back to whatever he was doing. Aaron didn't care. Monica was the only thing on his mind. That near miss-kiss in the car did it for him. He decided to do something radical. He only hoped Monica would want to do it as much as he wanted to.
"Monica." Aaron took her hand. "We are never gonna be alone as long as we are here. Definately not as long as Jeffrey pops up unexpectantly in my life. I have a proposal."
"What?" Monica asked as they went outside. It was still raining and getting wet again didnt seem to bother them at all.
"You come to Chicago with me. I have a great place we can spend some time alone together. Just me and you and no Joey and more importantly no Jeffrey." Aaron said wiping some hair out his eyes. "If you dont want to come with me, I will understand and we can try and eke out as intimate vacation here: even if we have to get a sleazy hotel, I want to be with you." Aaron kissed Monica on the lips. She was starting to feel all slimy from the rain. He pulled away. "What do you think?"
"I would have to say...yes!" Monica said smiling. She blinked some rain out of her eyes. "Yes, I will come to Chicago with you Aaron."
"Fabulous." Aaron pulled her close for a more intimate kiss. They looked at each other for a minute. "We better get out of these clothes like Jeffrey said. Your breasts are starting to show through your shirt."
"Aaron!" Monica said and laughed.
"For me, thats good, I guess. Plus we might hail a cab quicker." Aaron went out to the sidewalk. "We'll dry off at my hotel, get some clothes and go to Chicago."
"Chicago!" Monica said pulling her jacket closer. "I've never picked up and left like this before. This is gonna be a new experience for us all."
"Truly." Aaron said as a cab slowed down for them.
"Wettest first." Aaron said holding the door for her.She got in and they headed back to the hotel to get ready for tomorrow.
