Chapter 2: That guy though!

The cab ride back to Monica's apartment was silent, unfortunately her mind wasn't. Monica had had it with men. She had established the fact that all men were strange smelling pigs with no hearts and respect for others, especially women.

That guy at the coffee shop had just done it for her. It wasn't like he smelled bad or something, he might have even had good intentions, but it was just the choice of words he used and what was with the proposal? Like seriously? What was up with him? Thank god her best friend Rachel arrived right on time to save her from all the humiliation. A voice pulled Monica out from her thoughts.

"You're still thinking about that guy at the coffee shop aren't you?" said Rachel.

And like always Rachel was spot on with her observations.

"If I say no would you believe me?" replied Monica picking up two bottles of water from the refrigerator.

"Mon, don't worry about him. He wasn't that good looking in comparison to all your ex-boyfriends, he was about 6ft tall, brown hair, blue eyes and he had an ink stain on his crotch" said Rachel and sighed.

"But if you can't stop thinking about him so much, I guess we could go back to the coffee shop and get his name and phone number. Will it stop making you grumpy?" Rachel asked patiently.

Did Monica's best friend just call her grumpy, even thou technically she wasn't mad? That made her mad.

"Grumpy? What do you mean by that Rachel?" asked Monica in an irritated tone.

"Well if we don't go right now we might miss him! Hurry!" replied Rachel in a desperate attempt to change the topic.

Fortunately, Monica bought it, so Rachel went ahead and helped her put her coat back on.

Rachel entered the coffee shop first and scanned the room for Mr. Jerk Face. Yes, that was the nickname she had chosen for him, for now at least. But when she couldn't find him, she informed Monica and called her inside the coffee shop.

"I'm sorry Mon but I think he left" said Rachel.

She really felt bad for Monica but most importantly, she felt worse for herself as she was going to hear Monica rant on and on again about this guy who she couldn't find, him being 'the one' and what not.

Then suddenly a little light bulb turned 'On' in Monica's head, she turned towards Rachel with an idea.

"Hey, how about you go and ask the coffee guy about him, see if he knows his name or something" said Monica with a glint in her eyes.

"Me? Why me?" asked Rachel.

"Because you're the most awesome person in this room and you'd do anything to help your best friend out" Replied Monica in a pleading tone.

"Fine! But I'm only doing this because just for you and you own me one. A huge one rather!" said Rachel and marched in the direction of the counter.

"Don't forget that you're engaged to my brother" Monica shouted.

"DON'T WORRY I WONT!" Rachel shouted back and approached the coffee guy.

"Hey, have you seen a guy about 6ft tall, blue eyes and brown hair, he was in here earlier?" asked Rachel.

"The guy who got slapped after proposing?" the coffee guy replied.

"Yes, he left about an hour ago, he and his roommate are regulars here" replied Gunther the coffee guy.

Hearing those words Rachel was thrilled, so thrilled that she would have kissed the guy had he not been that.. blond! She didn't have to hear her friend weep for days, life seemed fair again.

"Can I get his name and phone number, if you don't mind?" she requested Gunther.

"I'm sorry, I don't really have his phone number; I'm new here. I started working in this coffee shop about a week ago. I'm not sure of his name either, I always get confused with him and his roommate. But I think his name is Joey. Yes! his name is Joey" Rachel's eyes lit up.

True, she hadn't gotten a phone number but she had gotten Mr. Jerk Face's name and the fact that he is a regular in this coffee shop that was enough to keep her friend satisfied for a while or she hoped.

A/N: The old switcherooo…always a fav to be on the giving end, not so much on the receiving side... but please tell me how you felt!

Thank you MondlerJordox, yes the story will get dramatic but you'll have to wait for a couple of more chapters! Be patient!
