I know I shouldn't start this new fic but I just can't think of what to write next in 'Closer'. Anyway, I've had this idea for a while and I hope you like it.

"Chandler! Chandler, darling come and meet our new house maid!" Nora Bing called to her son.

"Coming mum!" Chandler finished writing his last sentence and walked down their elaborate staircase. They had had to get a new maid when Chandler's dad, Charles Bing had cheated on his mother. Wait for it! That wasn't even the worst part. Charles Bing was gay and had only married Nora Bing because he had gotten her pregnant. Chandler's dad had been cheating on Nora with their gay house boy.

He reached the bottom of the staircase and his eyes lingered on their new maid. She was beautiful; there was no doubt about it. She was wearing a simple black dress, cut just above the knee and her dark hair had been scraped back into tight bun. He gazed into her sapphire blue eyes for a moment and winked at her. The girl looked taken aback and looked away, shyly.

"Chandler, meet Monica."

"Hi Monica," Chandler held out his hand but his mother pushed it away, shaking her head disapprovingly. Chandler stole one more look at Monica. She couldn't be much older than he was, eighteen or nineteen. Chandler was back from university as it was the holidays.

"Now, Monica will be staying here. In," Nora gave a loud cough," Tom's old room."

Chandler nodded. Tom, their old house boy had stayed on the bottom floor in a small bedroom. Personally Chandler preferred the basic, single bedroom to his larger more ornate room.

"Now, I have to go to work but Monica can make you some breakfast." Nora kissed her sons cheek and made for the door," Oh, and Chandler I won't be back tonight."

Chandler sighed, rolling his eyes at no-one in particular. His Mum always made excuses to stay away from home. Last minute meetings and book signings. Secretly, Chandler believed that Nora was seeing someone but he had never questioned the matter. Shrugging, Chandler led Monica to the kitchen and pulled out a chair for her. Monica shook her head and picked up a pan.

Chandler took the pan from her and sat Monica down, smiling. "No, no. You don't really have to make breakfast for me. You've only just arrived!"

"But Mrs Bing said..."

"Nah, Mum's always like that. I'm perfectly capable of cooking!"

Monica laughed slightly. Chandler saw, for the first time a smile planted upon her lips. If she had been beautiful before then that smile could only have made her more stunning. Monica caught him staring at her and blushed. She cleared her throat and Chandler jumped back to reality, grinning apologetically. He flipped his pancake and it landed perfectly on the plate beside the cooker. He grinned and flipped a couple more. Finally, he handed the plate of pancakes to Monica.

"You don't speak much..." Chandler commented as he curiously watched the strange girl.

Monica shrugged," I guess I'm the shyer type..." she said in a small voice.

"You don't have to be shy around me. I'm not like my Mum. I don't wanna boss people around."

Monica shrugged again and Chandler shook his head, slowly. There was definitely a story behind this girl and he was determined to find out what it was, no matter what!

Yep, I know it's short but if you guys want an update you're gonna have to review ;) Also, if any of you have any ideas for 'Closer' please tell me as I have no idea where it's going next!
