Author's Note: I was hoping to update again last night, but I went to a concert with my dad (which was amazing by the way, the Hooters, my fifth time seeing them in concert). Anyway, I leave on vacation so here you go, I guess I'll update twice today, one kind of an in-between chapter, and the last one an epilogue, because I want the number of chapters to be 12 rather than 11, and since I leave on vacation tomorrow and I may not be able to update, you guys get two chapters today. Yeah, I'm kind of OCD about weird little things. But don't judge (do review, however). Yeah, so here it is.
Chandler woke up the next morning and opened his eyes, but had to close them again immediately because it was so bright due to the light streaming in through the window. He thought about last night, and wondered whether it was real or not, still in a half-dream state of mind. But then he felt something move beside him, and a warm smile crept over his lips. He slowly opened his eyes again, letting them adjust to the brightness, and looked to his right. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was waking up next to him, and staring back at him. He let himself get lost in her crystal blue eyes before leaning in to softly kiss her on the lips. She smiled into the kiss, remembering the previous night.
"Thank you so much for last night, Chandler. It was perfect. You were perfect." She added with a wink. He laughed and kissed her again. When they broke apart, she held up her hand to admire the ring settled on her finger. "It's beautiful." She told him.
"Just like you." He smiled at her, and gently cupped her cheek. It was the perfect moment. He wanted to wake up next to her like this every morning, and his heart warmed at the fact that he now could. He had finally gotten what he'd always wanted; they both had, and neither had ever been this happy. "Could I be any happier?" He voiced his thoughts, and she laughed at her fiancé (God, she loved calling him that) using his signature catchphrase. He was so funny, she thought to herself.
He laughed when she laughed. She had the most beautiful laugh, and she looked so beautiful highlighted by the bright morning sun shining down on her face. He leaned forward to kiss her again, which she gladly accepted. He was so in love her morning breath didn't even matter to him. The kiss began to get more heated, when suddenly she got up and pulled a robe on, leaving the room. Bewildered, he did the same and followed her.
"Where are you going?"
"To take a shower."
"Now? We were in the middle of—" But she interrupted him, tapping her foot impatiently.
"You coming or what?" Realization crossed Chandler's face, and he raced to catch up with her, grinning. No way was he going to miss this.
"Of course! Wait up!" He yelled. "I'm slow in the mornings…" He added sheepishly. She grinned. He was so cute.
About twenty-five minutes later, they were walking out of the bathroom together, each clad in only a towel, giggling and kissing. It had been a very hot shower. They only stopped their canoodling when they noticed the four sets of eyes following them.
"Oh… hey, guys." Monica tried to act casual. The others just stared at her, silently judging her. Rachel had a smirk on her face. Joey was giving Chandler a knowing look, like he was proud of him, to which Chandler responded with an awkward smile, and quickly diverted his eyes. "We were just…"
"Oh, we heard." Rachel told them, and everybody just laughed awkwardly.
"Well, we're just gonna go get dressed…" Chandler said, and with that he and Monica walked into the bedroom, shutting the door behind them and kissing once more.
"How cute are they?!" Joey exclaimed, and everybody had to agree.
"I'm so glad Chandler went for it, my sister seems so happy." Ross added in. Again the others nodded.
"Yeah, like, could they be any cuter?" Phoebe said, mocking Chandler, causing everyone to laugh.
When Chandler and Monica came back out into the kitchen, everybody inspected Monica's finger with the ring on it, and they all had breakfast together and then went down to Central Perk to hang out like they always did. All everyone was talking about was what had happened the previous evening; it was one of the most exciting things to happen to the group in a while, and they couldn't wait for the wedding.
Later that day, Monica got a head start on planning the wedding, and made everybody help her. As usual, it had to be perfect, and she was controlling everything, but everybody was so happy for them they didn't even complain!
Life was great.
