There Monica was standing in her kitchen trying to pretend that she was sexy using a box of macaroni and a knife. This is stupid, there was no way he was going to fall for this.
"This is pointless." She sighed putting the things into the table beside them.
She looked up at Chandler, he was giving her a strange look. Of course he was she was rubbing a box of macaroni against her.
"That was a little strange." He finally managed to say.
"Yeah sorry, taking advice from Rachel. Never been very good at all this." She looked sad to him. Defeated. He couldn't work it out.
"Never been very good at what?" He asked softly.
"Being all sexy and stuff." All Monica wanted to do was to grab a large cake and eat it all. But no she worked hard to loose the weight and she would be damn if she was going to put it back on again.
"You are kidding me right Monica? Have you seen you?" He waved his hand in front of him "You look amazing in that dress. You certainly don't need to try to be anything."
A smile started to appear, she had a nice smile and Chandler was glad he could put it back on her face. "Really? thank you Chandler. How about I make you that Mac and Cheese now." She started preparing the food properly this time.
Chandler stood in the kitchen watching her. The way her dress clung to her to show her now more visible curves, the way her face relaxed at cooking even if it was a simple meal..Whoa! What the hell was he doing. This was his best friend's little sister. That was a big no no! He had to get out of there before he did something he would regret.
"I'm going to find Ross." He said quickly his head down as he walked out the kitchen as fast as he could.
Monica didn't pay too much attention to that, she had only met him one other time but he was a little strange. But the way he helped cheer her up was sweet, and his eyes especially she found focusing on more than she should. She shook her head. Mac and cheese suddenly became a very important meal requiring lots of concentration.
After dinner and the Geller's thanksgiving entrainment. People were starting to get tired and one by one they each drifted off to bed. Rachel was staying in the spare room so Chandler was on the couch but he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about Monica. It was wrong and he knew it, but it wasn't as if Ross was going to find out his thoughts.. At least he hoped.
There was a creaking on the stairs, and Chandler froze. Waiting to see who appeared. When he saw the silhouette of the one person he had just been thinking about "Couldn't sleep either?"
"Jesus Chandler you scared the life out of me." Her heart was racing ten to a dozen.
Monica heard him laughing softly in the shadows "sorry didn't mean to scare you."
"It's fine I hadn't expected anyone to be awake, came down for some hot milk." She paused wondering if she should continue with what was running threw her head, why not whats the worst that can happen. "Would you like to join me.?"
"Sure, I'd love some hot milk." Hot milk was innocent enough, he would most likely be safe.
He stood up and she laughed at his attire "Cute PJs" they had dinosaurs over them, there was no need to guess who's they were, god her brother was such a dork.
"Yeah I forgot mine." Chandler was slightly embarrassed to be seen in them, but at least they weren't his own.
They sat in the darkness of the kitchen chatting quietly to each other. Nothing important fairly casual conversation. Until Monica let out a yawn.
"Guess the hot milk is doing its trick, I think it's time I head if to bed." She pick up their mugs and walked over to place them in the sink. What she didn't know was that Chandler was very close behind her so when she turned around she walked straight into him.
Chandler's hands went around her waist to steady her and stop her from falling. That's what he told himself anyway, but if that were the case why were they still there. She was so close to him, their eyes meeting. Chandler made the biggest mistake of dropping his gaze to her mouth. Monica sensing this moved her tongue over them.
Screw it he though. With that he crushed his lips onto hers. Monica didn't move at first, but after she had gotten over the shock her arms reached up to behind his neck her fingers touching the tip of his hair and she pulled him closer.
Chandler lost track of time he had no idea how long they had been there. His hands had made their way up from Monica's waist to slightly higher sitting on her ribs. He didn't want to push his luck too far.
"Chandler." She said against his mouth. He didn't want to pull away not yet.
"Hmmm" was all he managed.
This time she pulled back further, he felt the lost of contact. "We shouldn't be here."
This was the bit he was waiting for. Starting to remove his hands and stepping back. Nodding "yeah I guess your right."
Except her arms weren't moving "no what I meant was here in the kitchen. Anyone could walk in."
"Oh right, um.." He was confused now, did she want to continue this amazing kiss or not.
Monica took a deep breath, "Well... Y'know if you want to.. You don't have to. Just might be better?" Smooth Monica, real smooth.
"And in English that was."
"Do you want to continue this in my room."
Chandler was not expecting that. "How close is your room to Ross's or your parents come to that?"
"Oh no where near."
"Lead the way then."
Once they were in her room Monica became at a lost of what to do next. It wasn't like she had done this before. Chandler was no better he had his hands in his pockets and was looking towards the floor, scuffing his foot back and fourth.
Monica relaxed a little when she saw that he looked just as nervous as she felt. She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him towards her. Being a little too forceful she ended up pulling her self backwards to so they both ended up on the bed, Chandler on top of her.
It didn't tale long for things to escalate from there. Each pulling at each others clothing. Monica's nerves hit again as this was the first time she had ever let anyone see her naked. But the look in Chandler's eyes gave her the courage to continue.
"Wow Monica, you look.." Chandler didn't quite get to finish the sentence before Monica's mouth was back on his.
"Hey Mon, you sure about this."
"Completely" they were the last words that they really spoke to each other.
Monica woke up she was wrapped in Chandlers's arms, she couldn't believe what had just happened. This all started so she could get back at him for calling her fat last year. Wanting to talk to Rachel she untangled herself from him, creeping out the room.
She stayed with Rachel for the rest of the night telling her best friend of how it had gone from revenge to the complete opposite.
But the time Rachel and Monica had emerged from their room in the morning Ross and Chandler had already left.
Monica had been upset by this how could he leave without saying anything. She spent the next few days crying in her room. Until she thought that she had shed enough tears over Chandler Bing and vowed to forget about that night.
It wasn't until 3 months later that she even spared a thought over him. But taking that pregnancy test seeing the positive results did she start to panic.
