Sorry this took so long, I got distracted by another story. Plus, I had to rewrite this chapter, like, five times and I'm still not entirely happy with it but it's good enough. Thank you to everyone who reviewed or read it or subscribed but especially thanks to those who reviewed. It means a lot. Uh, I think that's all I have to say. So, enjoy!

Chandler woke up completely confused. Why wasn't he in his own bed? Better yet, why the hell was he in Joey's room? Then he noticed the sleeping body next to him and suddenly everything came rushing back. Rachel. He slept with Rachel last night. Oh, God. He slept with Rachel. Ross's ex-girlfriend Rachel. His friend Rachel. This was bad, so so so bad. He glanced down at Rachel and felt a small smile grace his lips. He knew they probably wouldn't be able to tell anyone about this, despite how much he would love to brag about it. But that was okay with him, he didn't mind it being his and Rachel's secret. He felt her start to stir next to him. "Morning," he smiled. She looked confused for a second before she adjusted to the situation. He felt panicked for a second, what if she didn't feel the same way as him? What if it was just a huge mistake to her? Suddenly all his insecurities and fears of rejection came rushing back at full speed. Rachel must have felt him tense because she gave him a reassuring smile.

"Good morning," she mumbled snuggling deeper into his chest. He relaxed and let out the deep breath he had been holding in.

"So we should, uh, we should talk about last night?" He said but it came out more like a question.

"Yeah, we should. What time is it?" She asked sitting up and pulling away from him. They both shuddered at the cold air that hit them at the loss of contact. Chandler pouted at her as she got out of bed and she laughed. "We both have to go to work today, you know that."

"We could call in sick?" He suggested, even though they both knew that they couldn't stay in bed all day.

"Chandler," She said warningly. Once she walked within his reach, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back down on the bed with him. "You're not making this easy."

"Okay, okay," He conceded. "Then let's talk."

"What happened last night?" She questioned with a sigh leaning back into Chandler.

"Well," he started drawing slow imaginary circles up her arm. "I believe that we had sex, numerous times." He smirked and she smacked him lightly in the chest.

"What happens now?" He shrugged.

"What do you want to happen now?" She shrugged.

"I do know that we have to get ready for work though." She stood up and poked her head out of her bedroom door. "Okay the coast is clear. You can go." She smiled opening her bedroom door wider.

"Do I have to?" He whined. Rachel shot him a warning glance. "Alright I'll go but only if you promise to have lunch with me." She laughed.

"How is that different than any other day?" She asked raising an eyebrow. He didn't answer as he pulled on his shirt and walked toward Rachel. "What are you doing?" She watched him move across the room, directly to her.

"Somethin'." He smirked as he pulled her into a kiss that she had been completely caught off guard for. Just as soon as it started, it was over and Chandler was out the door sending Rachel a wink before entering his own apartment.

"Where were you last night?" Joey exclaimed worriedly as soon as Chandler walked in the door. He stopped wracking his brain for the right lie to make Joey believe him. Got it.

"I stayed at the girls' apartment last night. Rach and I fell asleep watching a movie." He mumbled glancing at the television. "Is that porn?" He looked between Joey eating his cereal at the foosball table and the TV.

"Yeah! Free born, baby!" Joey yelled excitedly. "I was just pressing buttons on the remote and then bam! Porn! But don't touch it, it could all just go away."

"I'll be right back." Chandler went into his room quickly throwing on work clothes and taking a seat in his recliner. "I don't know if I'm going to be able to go to work today."

"Hey guys," Rachel greeted entering the apartment. Chandler immediately looked up at the sound of her voice, smiling at her.

"Hey Rach," Joey turned around to face her. "Heard you spent the whole night with Chandler. That must've been fun." He said sarcastically.

"It was actually." She shared a secret smiled with Chandler and went back to making her breakfast. The moans coming from the TV caught her attention and she looked at it. Her jaw dropped. "Are you guys watching porn? At breakfast?"

"Free porn, baby!" Joey exclaimed again. They sat there for a few moments, all watching the TV.

"I cannot watch this while I eat." Rachel shook her head reaching for the remote.

"No, no, no, no!" The boys yelled. Chandler grabbed the controller and held it out of her reach.

"We don't know how the porn started and we can't turn it off. Plus," Joey whispered to Rachel. "This is the most action Chandler's going to see all month." Rachel's gaze slid over to Chandler, who had a wide smile on his face.

"You're right, Joe. I can't get a woman into bed no matter how hard I try." She shook her head walking back to the foosball table.

"Seriously, can't watch this while I eat." Chandler turned around, his eyes pleading her to stay.

"We'll mute it?" He suggested. She grumbled an agreement and sat back down at the makeshift dining room table. "Well children, I really should be getting to work." He stood up and threw his cereal bowl in the sink. "I'll see you at lunch." He whispered sending a shiver down her spine.

Chandler entered the crowded deli looking around for Rachel. He spotted her at their usual table, a salad placed in front of her. He stood in line and waited for his sandwich. He kept looking at her from across the room and all he could think was how much he wanted to kiss her. Bad, he thought, that was dangerous territory. He tried to tell himself it was just sexual tension, he had zero feelings for Rachel. That would be insane. He made his way across the dining room and sat down across from her. He could tell she was deep in thought by the way she jumped when he sat down. "Whoa, you okay?" He asked taking a sip of his water. She nodded.

"I was just thinking."

"About me?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"No!" She denied as her cheeks turned bright red.

"I think I'm right." He smirked leaning back in his chair. "It's okay, most women can't resist the Chan Chan Man."

"You keep calling yourself that and it'll be a lot easier to resist you than you think." He put on a fake hurt look and she reached across the table patting his hand lightly. As she went to pull her hand away, he grabbed it and intertwined it with his. "Chandler," she said quietly, suddenly serious. He was dreading this part of lunch, the part where they actually had to talk.

"What are we doing here, Rach?" He asked rubbing slow circles on her hand with his thumb.

"I don't know." She said honestly looking up at him.

"What do you want this to be?"

"What do you want this to be?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.

"No, no, no," he shook his head. "I asked first." He smiled tapping her lightly on the nose. "You answer."

"This is crazy." She mumbled. "I can't be feeling anything for you. I mean, you're Chandler."

"Wow, thanks." He said sarcastically holding a hand to his heart.

"No, seriously. I am feeling something for you." She admitted looking at him, trying to decipher what he felt. At Rachel's word he felt instant relief come over him. She was feeling something for him. He looked into her dark, deep blue eyes and brushed a strand of hair away from her eyes.

"I'm feeling something for you too. A lot of something."

"So, what does that mean?"

"Well, generally when two people like each other…" He trailed off smirking and Rachel shook her head.

"You know, it's not that simple." He nodded. As their unspoken words ran through their minds. Ross. They would have to talk to him.

"But, you know he has Emily. He probably won't care that much." She mumbled something in agreement. "Maybe, we should wait a little bit to tell anyone. See exactly where this is going first?" He suggested and her face broke into a smile.

"Chandler Bing, I think you might be a genius." She said before digging into her salad. He watched her eat for awhile before she looked at him, the curiosity clear on her face. "Aren't you going to eat?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"I," he blushed slightly before continuing. "I was watching you eat. You're cute."

She laughed and flashed him one of her beautiful smiles. God, she was beautiful when she smiled. "You're cute too but I don't want to be the reason you're hungry for the rest of the day so please eat." She gestured to his sandwich before taking another bite of her salad. They finished their meals in silence and threw away their trash.

"I'll walk you back?" He suggested opening the door for her. She nodded and grabbed for his hand. "So, I was thinking. Maybe, we can sneak away from everyone else tonight and go to dinner."

"Are you asking me out on a date?" She asked trying to wipe the huge grin off her face.

"Yeah, so what do you say?" He could feel the butterflies in his stomach. He didn't know why he was so nervous. He had known Rachel since he was in college, almost ten years. She had just admitted she liked him. So, why the hell was he so nervous to ask her out on a date?

"I would love to go on a date with you. I'll meet you outside the coffee house at six?"

"Sounds good." He agreed taking a deep breath.

"Chandler," she said suddenly stopping both of them right outside her office building. "Don't be so nervous, okay? I really do like you." She reached up wrapping her hands around the back of his neck and pulling him down. It was completely different than their previous kisses, this one was slow and soft. He pulled her to him, memorizing the way she felt in his arms.

"You know," he commented pulling away from her. "I don't have to go back to work."

"Well, I think it's my first duty as your girlfriend to make sure that you don't lose your job." He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, so you're my girlfriend?"

"What were you going to call it?" He shrugged.

"I dunno, but girlfriend sounds so official." Rachel put a hand to her forehead and groaned.

"Oh God, we've been in a relationship for 45 minutes and I've already scared you. Oh God," she murmured again and Chandler laughed putting his hands on her hips to stop her pacing.

"Rach, it's okay. I'm not freaked out. I promise. I just like that I can call you my girlfriend." He smiled and then started imitating a conversation with another person. "'Hey Chandler, who's this?' 'Oh, you haven't met my girlfriend yet? This is Rachel Green, my girlfriend.'" She laughed and shook her head at him.

"Sweetie, if I'm going to continue being your girlfriend then you have to stop having conversations with yourself." He sighed and nodded sadly.

"I'll try."

"Okay, have a good afternoon." She said kissing him softly on the cheek. "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, I'll see ya." He said under his breath watching her walk away and then he smiled widely. He was dating Rachel Green.

What'd you think?
