I will put an epilogue up to my other story 'College life' when I think of something.
If you have any ideas, please let me know
I open my eyes and look around the room. I don't recognize this place. The walls don't have the same pictures up like my apartment, the bed spread isn't the same, and the smell is even different. Nothing is the same. I feel an arm around my rest. I look to my right and see a man nestled up to me. His cologne that he wore the night before, is still on him and it smells amazing.
I rub my face. Oh what did I do last night? This isn't like me at all. I went to a bar with my friends Phoebe and Rachel. They talked me into talking to a guy that kept smiling at me. So I did. After a couple drinks, he invited me to come over. I really didn't want to but my friends talked me into it because he's incredibly attractive. So I went home with him, we both had a lot to drink. I thought I would just come to his place for a little bit and go home. I didn't plan on staying over.
Now here I am, in bed with him in nothing but my bra. I slowly untangle myself from him. I get up and get dressed. Is it rude for me to leave before he wakes up? Hmm I don't know. I am really embarrassed though. This isn't something I do. Ever.
I don't want to stay. I leave him a note.
Chandler,
Thank you for last night. You should know though that this isn't something I normally do. I am not a woman that's loose in any way. Anyway, I think I gave you my number last night. You can call if you would like to.
Monica.
As I am walking to the subway, I remember that I don't think I gave him my number.
I know that none of these people I see know what I did last night but I can't help but think they are looking at me with judgment. I know that's silly though. No one knows me.
I go to my apartment and when I walk in, Rachel's sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"Have fun last night?" She asked with a smile on her face.
I frown. "I slept with him Rachel. I slept with him. I never do that."
"I know that you don't but he was really cute and really into you. Did you give him your number? Will there be a date in the near future?"
That's Rachel, full of questions. "I think I gave him my number last night but I don't really remember."
Her mouth fell open. "You left before he woke up didn't you."
I groan, that probably makes me a horrible person for doing that to the poor guy. "Yes, I should go back there and apologize."
Rachel nods. "Yes, go give that guy your number."
She's right. I need a shower first." I take a shower, put make up on and put on a new outfit.
Luckily I remember exactly where his apartment is. I knock on the door and to my surprise, someone else answers the door that isn't Chandler.
I look at the numbers on the door to make sure I have the right place. "Uh I am looking for Chandler."
The guy smiles at me. "Yes, I'm Joey. Chandler isn't here now. He was just in town for the weekend. He left just a few minutes ago for the airport. He lives in Colorado. Aren't you the woman that stayed here last night?"
I smiled shyly. "Yeah that would be me."
"Sorry that you missed him." He told me.
I nodded. "Thanks. Do you know if he'll come back to town?"
Joey shrugged his shoulders. "He could. He's been here a few times since he moved to Colorado. When he does come, he just stays here so he won't have to pay for a hotel."
So even if I had stayed this morning, I wouldn't have had a chance with Chandler. Not if he didn't even live here in New York. I do wish I could have gotten to know him better though. He was really cute and really nice. Last night, I didn't even have to pay for my drinks.
I stayed out for a while so I wouldn't have to go home and tell Rachel what had happened when I went to see Chandler who wasn't even there. Who knows when he'll be back?
I waited for Rachel to go to work, then I went home.
That night I lied in bed, thinking about my night with Chandler the night before.
I sat at the bar. Rachel was dancing with her date which just so happened to be my brother Ross. Phoebe danced with her fiancé Mike. Which left me sitting at the bar.
When the song ended, Rachel rushed over to me. "The guy sitting at the end of the bar has been smiling at you for the past 5 minutes."
I slowly looked and saw him. Wow he's cute. Really cute. When I looked he winked at me.
Rachel nudged me. "Go talk to him."
After some convincing from Rachel and Phoebe, I walked over to him.
"Hi." I smiled.
He smiled back, his blue eyes sparking. "Hey." He reached his hand out to me. "My name is Chandler."
That's an interesting name but I like it. "My name is Monica."
"Have a seat." He told me so I did.
He bought me a drink, and we started talking .Turns out we have a lot in common.
I gasped when the next song came on. "I love this song."
He smiled. "So do I." He stood up and offered his hand to me. "Care to dance?"
"I would love to." I took his hand and he helped me up and brought me to the dance floor.
I grabbed my phone from my night stand as I lied in my bed. I just wanted to see if I had his number. He doesn't live here so I know that we can't be together but I would still like to talk to him.
I checked my phone contacts. No Chandler.
Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I hope you like this idea.
Please review.
