Thank you for reviewing
I had a horrible day and I made the huge mistake of taking it out on Monica. I can't believe I told her that she acts like my ex-wife. They are nothing alike. So what if Monica likes things a certain way? It doesn't make her a horrible person or anything.
I still can't believe that I said Monica is like my ex. My ex and I argued day in and day out. She was very controlling. She would freak out if I wanted to leave without her unless I was going to work. That is why that marriage didn't last very long at all.
But Monica is so much better than that. If there was such a thing as being perfect than that would be Monica.
The more that I drive around the city, the more I realize that I just need to go home and apologize to her. I look at the clock in my car and see that it's just a little after mid night. She may be asleep but I still need to go home. Me staying out all night, is not the way to score points with my girlfriend.
I go home and see that the porch light is off and I don't see any lights on inside the house. She's asleep I think. I use the light from my phone to find the key to unlock the front door. I tip toe inside so I don't wake anyone up. I carefully go upstairs, before entering the bedroom, I peek in on Emma. She's sleeping soundly with her favorite stuffed animal rabbit tucked underneath her arm.
I gently close the door when I leave her room and then go into the bedroom that I now share with Monica. I want to lay with her and tell her how sorry I am but she is sleeping so well. I know she is mad at me, I would be mad at me too. I wonder if she's mad enough to kick me out of bed for the night. That hasn't happened to us before.
I take my chances. I slip on some pajamas, careful not to make any sounds and carefully climb into bed next to her. I am careful not to shift the bed too much. I don't want to accidently wake her up. 12:30 in the morning is not exactly a time where I want to start an argument. I would rather get off to a fresh new day and argue then.
Even though she's asleep, she moves away from me. Yeah, she's upset. I guess I have a talk waiting for me in the morning. I deserve it I guess.
I look at the clock the next morning and see that I slept in a little. It's almost 9 which means that I didn't get to see Emma before she went off to school this morning. I'm kind of bummed about that, I like seeing her in the mornings.
I get out of bed, dreading this talk that I have to have with Monica about what happened the night before.
"Hey." I say just above a whisper when I come into the living room and see her reading a book.
She closes the book and puts it on the coffee table. She doesn't say anything to me.
I sit on the far end of the couch. "Monica I am so very sorry. I had a horrible day yesterday and I had no right to take it out on you. You didn't do anything wrong. And for the record, you are nothing like my ex-wife. You are in every way so much better than her. I really hope you'll forgive me. I understand that you like things a certain way and I will do my best to remember those things." I really hope the little speech that I just gave her is good enough. I haven't had much time this morning to work on it.
It takes her a few seconds, but I see a smile slowly form on her lips. She moves a little closer to me. We are making progress here.
"I forgive you Chandler." Her fingers touch the tops of mine. "But that really hurt me when you said that to me last night."
"I know and I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." I bring her fingers to my mouth and kiss them. "I love you and it won't happen again." I really didn't want to hurt her. She has been hurt enough, I'm sure. I don't want to be the one that adds on to it.
She wraps her arms around my neck and brings me into a hug. I immediately wrap my arms around her waist and rest my chin on her head as her head lays on my chest.
After a few seconds, I kiss the top of her head, taking in the wonderful smell of her shampoo. "I want to make it up to you." I know that she has forgiven me for being a complete jerk but I am still angry at myself for it.
She pulls away, giggling. "It's really alright Chandler, honest." I love seeing that beautiful smile on her face.
I rub up and down her arms a few times, feeling her soft skin. "I know but you deserve it. Do you have to work?"
She shakes her head. "I have the day off."
I smile. "Well I do too." I scoop her up in my arms and bring her to our room, shutting the door behind us with my foot.
She squeals when I gently toss her onto the bed. I take my shirt off, and toss it in the direction of the clothes hamper, then join Monica on the bed.
With no hesitation, she cups my face with her hands and starts kissing me intently.
"I love you so much." She mumbles into my mouth.
I smile against her lips. "I love you too." I move to kissing her neck as I remove her shirt, getting happy moans from her in response which I love. I move to the other side of her neck as I UN button her pants.
While I am taking her pants off, she is taking my pajama pants off, rubbing down my legs in the process.
Yes, this is going to be a good morning after all.
