First Dates
Hi! First of all, Happy New Year! Secondly, wow, I haven't uploaded in ages… I've been so busy with school and Christmas and everything, and regarding the school part, I still am. I'm writing this while taking a break from a science report (fun). Anyway I did a lot of travelling over Christmas, going to see my family etc., and spent a lot of time in the car thinking of a multi-chaptered story I could write. Who knows how long this will go on, but let's give it a go.
Disclaimer: As usual, don't own anything, or anyone, etc.
AN: Set very early season 5, sometime after Phoebe has the triplets… maybe… I don't know what I'm doing…
Monica smiled as Chandler quietly opened her door, creeped across the room and silently got into bed.
"Hey,"
"Hey, y - oh my God!"
"What, what?"
"Your feet are freezing!"
"Well how about you warm them up?"
"I guess I could. And the rest of you while I'm at it."
At this, Chandler grinned and flipped Monica on top of him. She smiled at him and leaned in to give him a sweet, satisfying kiss.
"Well, there's my mouth all nice and warm… how about the rest?"
Monica was one step ahead, bringing her lips down his neck, then shoulders, then chest, and worked all the way down his body. When they finally came together, Chandler certainly wasn't cold anymore.
As they lay together in the aftermath, Chandler remembered what he had made a mental note of to tell Monica earlier.
"Mon?"
"Mmmmh?"
She didn't even bother to lift her head from his chest, and Chandler decided he better get a move on before she fell asleep.
"I was thinking…"
"You were thinking? Wow, big day for you."
He grinned at this. They hadn't been together that long, but already she was starting to adopt his sense of humour. He loved it.
"Thanks. Anyway, I was thinking, you know how long we've been together?"
"Yeah, a few weeks."
"Yeah. And you know what we haven't done yet?"
If he was talking about sex, Monica thought, there really wasn't much in the last few weeks they hadn't done yet.
"What?"
"I still haven't brought you on a date," he said cautiously.
He didn't know what her reaction to this would be, as actually going out in public where they could meet anyone was a lot different to doing it every night in the privacy of their bedrooms.
"A date?" she replied questioningly.
"Yeah. I mean, it's okay if you don't want to, but I think it'd be fun…?"
Monica was silent for a minute. She was shocked really. She never expected this; she thought this - fling would be an accurate name for it - was really just a fling. But she wasn't complaining, quite the opposite in fact. She was happy. So happy. Happier than she'd been in a long time. And deep down, maybe even a little scared. Because already, even in this early stage, she knew she was falling for him. She didn't want to admit it, but she really was. She loved every single stupid joke he made, the way his eyes sparkled when he laughed, the way-
"Monica?"
The sound of him calling her name snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Sorry. Um, yeah, I guess we could go on a date sometime."
"Really?"
"Don't sound too shocked!"
"No I know, it's just, well, I don't know," he mumbled.
She decided to shut him up with a kiss.
"Mmm, it's okay, I know what you mean. It'll be fun though."
"Yeah, it will."
"So, when will this date be?"
Chandler paused. He hadn't really expected her to say yes, and now that she had, he realized he had no idea where he was going to take her and when.
"Umm…"
"Didn't think you'd get this far?"
He grinned at her sheepishly.
"Well, as it happens, I'm working the lunch shift tomorrow, so I'm free tomorrow night…"
"Oh that's perfect! Joey has a date, so we'll have the apartment to , eight o' clock. I'll come collect you"
"Collect me? Chandler, you live five seconds away, and you're over here all the time. You'll probably be over anyway."
"I know, it's just, well, I want to do it, y'know, properly…?"
Monica smiled. He was so cute when he got nervous.
"Okay."
"Okay. Tomorrow at eight. Wear something nice."
"'Kay"
Monica smiled to herself and turned around so her back was now curled up against his chest. He put his head in her neck, wrapped his arms around her, and they both settled down to sleep.
Hmm, that was, interesting, to say the least. I don't know yet how long this fic is going to be, I'm thinking maybe 3 or 4 chapters, maybe more. Anyway, thanks for reading and please review!
