Please R&R :)
Monica and Chandler walked into the coffee house to see Phoebe and Ross sitting in their spot, the orange couch.
"Hey guys, what's up?" asked Chandler, as they sat down.
"I was just telling Phoebe how Frank Hadfield went for a walk among the Drumheller. Up on one of these chunky sandstone minarets studying the southern Albertan badlands, Hadfield spied what appeared to be…"
"Okay. So I am going to the movies. Anyone coming?" interrupted Phoebe. Monica and Chandler breathed a sigh of relief. Ross, despite being hurt by the interruption on his fascinating story, agreed to go with Phoebe.
Phoebe and Ross left Chandler and Monica alone. They moved closer together and he put his arm around her. They started mocking Ross' story when Chandler interrupted her with a kiss. At this moment, Joey walked in. Chandler and Monica jumped apart and looked at Joey. His eyes opened wide and he freaked out. He turned around and ran up to his apartment and slammed the door behind him. He paced back and forth until Monica and Chandler knocked on the door.
"Joey! Open up!" Chandler yelled.
"No!" Joey replied.
"Come on Joey! Please?" Monica asked. Joey opened the door and just stared at them.
"YOU? AND YOU?" he asked. "How?! When?!"
"It happened in London," explained Chandler.
"IN LONDON?!" replied Joey.
"Yes. The reason we didn't want to tell anyone is because we didn't want to make a big deal out of it!" explained Monica.
"But it is a big deal! I have to tell someone," Joey said as he began to walk out the door.
"No no no no no no! Joey, you can't! Please? I know this is hard. We are just not ready to tell," pleaded Chandler.
"Please?" asked Monica.
"Ugh, okay, fine!" replied Joey. "This is unbelievable! I mean it's great, but…"
"I know it's great," said Monica, as she walked to Chandler and kissed him.
"Ohh," groaned Joey. "I don't want to see that!"
"Oh, sorry," replied Chandler, smiling slyly.

They went back downstairs to the coffee house and met Ross and Phoebe there.
"How was the movie?" asked Monica.
"We didn't get to see the movie. Ross was talking on his phone so loud, they kicked us out," said Phoebe, clearly disappointed they didn't get to see the movie.
"I had to talk loud because the movie was loud!" replied Ross.
"He's on the phone with London," explained Phoebe
"So he got in touch with Emily?" asked Monica, hopefully. She really hoped, for her brother's sake that he and Emily could work things out. She knew how hard it was on him, and she knew how much he did not want to have another failed marriage.
"No, he's talking to the relatives," Phoebe replied. Ross went outside to talk to them, because it was 'too loud' in Central Perk. Monica was subtly sliding her hand up Chandler's leg. This caught Joey's attention and glared at them, as a warning. If he was to pretend nothing was going on between them, they would have to act like there wasn't. It had been an hour since Joey found out about Monica and Chandler, and he realised how stupid he had been, not to notice.
Monica and Chandler finally noticed Joey's glare and stopped. Phoebe was talking about something her psychic said.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Ross and Phoebe sat at the kitchen table, while Monica was cooking dinner. She was about to serve dinner when Chandler and Joey walked in.
"Oooh, what's for tea?" asked Joey, walking in and taking a seat in between Ross and Phoebe.
"Lasagne," Monica replied, putting a large piece on a plate and giving it to Joey.
"Thanks Mon!" Joey said as he started to eat. Monica then served Ross and Phoebe a piece. They were all occupied with eating, so Chandler walked over to Monica, gave her a cheeky kiss on the cheek and asked for some lasagne. This made Monica blush. He thought it was so cute when he made her blush. Again, Joey noticed this little kiss and was a bit annoyed. 'They want me to keep it a secret, but it doesn't seem like they care if someone else finds out' thought Joey.
"So, what's new? Has anyone started seeing anyone?" Joey said as he looked at Monica and Chandler.
Monica and Chandler glared at him and he just smiled.
"No, I'm not," said Monica.
"Me neither," said Chandler. Neither Chandler nor Monica were good at lying, and they could not look at any of their friends. Ross looked at them oddly but didn't take it as anything serious.
"Well, I'm still trying to get in contact with Emily. But it's not working. None of the relatives that I have got in touch with are letting me know where she is hiding," Ross said sadly. He started thinking about his wife and didn't pay much attention.
"Well, I keep running into this guy at the coffee house. We talk, we flirt, and we laugh. And nothing! Absolutely nothing!" said Phoebe, disappointedly.
Soon enough, Phoebe and Ross had gone back to their apartments, which just left Joey, Chandler and Monica. As soon as Phoebe and Ross left, Chandler kissed Monica. They were clearly oblivious to the fact that Joey was still sitting at the table.
"Ahh! Uh! Guys?!" said Joey.
"Oh, sorry Joey," replied Chandler.
"If you don't want me to tell anybody, you are going to have to pretend there is nothing to tell! You are not exactly making 'you guys' subtle. I mean that kiss in the kitchen? Ross was right there! What do you think he would have said if he saw that? He would freak out! So please, just save it for later, okay?" said Joey, clearly upset.
"Oh okay. We're sorry. We didn't think it would bother you that much," replied Chandler. After they sorted it out, and apologized to Joey, he went back to his apartment to watch some T.V.
"So… what do you want to do now?" Monica said quietly. She was always a little nervous when they were alone. 'I don't know why she seems nervous. I mean, it's Monica! She is the most beautiful woman I know!'
"Why are you nervous?" Chandler asked, moving slowly closer to her, smiling.
"Because, well, it's you," she replied quietly, looking away.
"So? It's me, big deal. I should be the nervous one," said Chandler, looking into her sky blue eyes. He then leaned down and kissed her. It started off slowly, then as it got faster, it got more intense. Monica pushed Chandler towards her bedroom and he closed the door behind them.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Wow," said Chandler, as he tried to regain his breath.
"I know," said Monica, as she kissed him again.
She laid her head on his chest and they fell asleep.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Monica rolled over and saw the clock go from 4:59 to 5:00am. She turned around, kissed Chandler on the cheek and sighed.
"I love you," she said quietly, and went back to sleep.
