Monica's POV
My brother is having a baby. A baby. He's going to have a baby in his mid-Twenties and I don't even have a boyfriend. No wonder my mother always brings up my relationship status, asking when will I start getting married and have babies. I just always answer plain, "Soon, when I'm ready,".
After I ended my phone call with my mother, no ones was here to comfort me. Joey was somewhere, Rachel was flirting at the cute doctor, and Phoebe and Ross were nowhere to be found. I was all alone. When some guy came over to me, "Miss are you going to use the phone?" a soft voice came into the background.
I turned around and in front of me was an attractive guy. He's like in his mid-thirties but has a cute baby face, he's a brunette, has bright blue eyes, and has wonderful face structure. "Miss?" He asked again. "Oh... No, go ahead," I finally said. Gesturing at the payphone.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to use it anyway," he chuckles, "What? I thought you're going to use it." asking him with confusion on my face. "No, uhmmm... I just kinda said that because I wanted to talk to you..." his voice turned shy and his face turning slightly red, which makes him even more cuter.
My smile widens, extending my hand, "I'm Monica," giving my prettiest smile at him. He looks at me and shakes my hands, "Chandler," he said. What an unusual name, I thought. "I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that a have a weird name," he says softly, his hands not leaving mine. I laugh, "Not weird... just unusual," I said, biting my lower lip a little.
He chuckles, Oh my God, he is so cute.
"Do you want to grab some coffee at the cafeteria?" he asked, letting go of our hands. I look around first to see if I saw some of the gang, but I think they're busy, "Uhm, sure. But I don't think I have time," I sadly said. it's been a while since we came here to the hospital and Carol has never given birth yet but if something happens, I don't wanna miss any of that.
"Oh..." His smiles drop, which made me sad, Even if we just met a minute ago, I kinda start to like him. "But if you want we could talk here for a while," I said which make his smile recovered, "Okay,"
We sat down on the chair, I usually don't talk to guys. After what happened to Paul the wine guy, I've been very careful to choosing, except for young Ethan, who's completely young and lied about his age well I lied too so there's that. But I just felt something different to him, Chandler.
He glances around the room, it doesn't have that many people, it's like we're the only ones here. For a moment, he asks, "So where are your friends?" I stare at him for a while and half smiled, "I don't really know," I take a glance at the room, "They're just here... somewhere...they're really adventurous people," I quipped.
He laughs and god that was the cutest laugh ever, "What are you doing here?" I ask softly. "One of my co-workers got into a fight. well, not technically a fight... It was more like an argument between the two," he said while putting his elbow at the top rail of the seat, positioning himself to look at me.
"Well, what happened to them?"
"Let's just say the other guy force him to punch him, but missed and hit the pole instead, and now they're on the room putting a cast of his hand," He laughs and I joined him.
The laughs had been cleared out and Chandler looks directly into my eyes, "You're beautiful" he abruptly said and realized that it came to his mouth, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to... I uh... It just came out, Sorry,"
"You think I'm beautiful?" I ask, grinning at him.
He flashes a cute smile at me and said, "Yes, you're beautiful," I clutch my other hand at my blue dress, trying to calm my body after he said those words, "Thank you," I let out gradually, "You look beautiful too," I added.
"I prefer to be handsome, but why not," he shrugged. I can't help but laugh. This guy has a sense of humour as well. We both stare at each other again for a few moments at the same time we both let out a word, chuckling embarrassingly. "You go first," he said.
"Okay, Uhm... Can I ask how old you are?" thinking about the words I let out before I said to him, he looks at me, "I'm just going to ask the same thing," he said.
"It's like one mind," I joked, we both laugh, "I'm Thirty-five by the way, so... I'm old," he said with a nervous chuckle at the end.
"You're really not that old," I assure him, "Guess, how old I am," I said to him, making our discussion interesting, "Okay, I have to say, you're Twenty-five," I shake my head and he let out a pout which makes me giggle, "Close. But I'm Twenty-six,"
He looks at me shocked, "Really? You don't really look like one,"
"Well, what age numbers did you thought?"
He dramatically thinks which causes me to laugh, "Maybe Twenty-five or Twenty-six," he kidded, "I am Twenty-six," both of us crack up.
When there's a sudden shouting at the room.
"Monica! Monica!" Rachel came out of the room, shouting my name. I stand up, "Shh, Rache don't be loud you're in the hospital," shushing her up. "Oh sorry, I just wanted to say that Carol is giving birth now," She said regaining her breath back when she looks back at me, "Well, who do we have here," she said. She stands up straight, smoothing her dress, I rolled my eyes and introduce her to Chandler, "Rachel, this is Chandler," "Chandler, This is my best friend, Rachel," I said to him. They both shook their hands. And Rachel whispers to me, "Isn't he a cutie," I just rolled my eyes and remember that Carol is giving birth. "Rachel, we need to go now," I reminded.
"Oh right, Bye," she bids goodbye to Chandler and went back inside.
I sigh and turn around to him, "I guess this is—" before I finish my sentence he cut me off, "Can I have your phone number?" bringing his hands to his nape, rubbing it, "I kinda want to see you again.." he admitted. I smiled at him and nodded, "But I don't have any pen and paper," he looks around and walks toward the receptionist and went back having a pen and paper in his hand. I chuckled
This guy really wants to see me again.
I grab the pen and paper in his hands and write down my number. He looks at me while writing down my phone number, which made me blush. I give him the paper with my number on it, "I call you," he said, "Monica," adding up.
"Sure, I hope I'll see you soon," I said giving him a soft smile.
He moves closer to me, opening his arms. I know what's he's going to do, so I take it as a sign to move closer and hugged him. I take a deep breath and my senses were filled by his cologne, his arms tighten around my waist when I heard my brother calling to me, "Monica?" he said with uncertainness in his voice. I turn back again, "Ross where were you?!" I asked him but quickly adds up, "Nevermind, tell me later, Carol's already giving birth and she needs you,"
Ross just stare at me, and I can see into his eyes the 'Big-overly-protective-brother' but he has no time for that, so he just nodded at me and went inside the room.
I went back to Chandler once again, "That's uhm.. my brother.. Ross," I said as I brushed up my nose, "Yeah, I can see the look that he gave me, It's kinda scary,"
I let out a soft laugh, "Anyway, I'm going to go back to my friends. Maybe they're finished casting his hand," he said moving slightly away from me, "Yeah and I need to go in there," pointing at the door behind me. "Bye, Chandler," I said. Keeping the sadness of my tone in me, "Bye, Monica. I'll call you," he said, waving the paper I gave to him earlier. After that, he left.
I'm still looking in his direction where he left, I heard a voice behind me. Every time. "So, who's that guy?"
It was Phoebe.
"Phoebe, where the hell had you been!?" I exclaimed.
"Oh, don't change the topic, Mon. So who's the pretty guy," she playfully said. I rolled my eyes and went inside the room where Carol giving birth is, "No one. He's just some guy, I talked to when you guys weren't around," I said.
"Really? then why did he say that he will call you," following me into the room, "Who's gonna call?" Rachel asked, standing beside Carol. I let out a groan, can't they just stop asking questions.
"Monica's new boyfriend," Phoebe teased.
"He's not my boyfriend. We had just met and talked for a while you guys weren't around..."
"Then why did he said that he's gonna call you?" Phoebe asked. Already knows the answer, she's just teasing me.
"Because... I gave him my number," I said but before anybody reacts I added, "but, he asked for it so...," then I shrug my shoulders.
"Look at you all smitten," she slightly nudges me at my elbow and went to Carol's.
I sigh and thinking about Chandler, his bright blue eyes and cute smile. I hope he calls me. I really wanna see him again.
"Out! there's too many of you in the room!" The old nurse order. They push us out of the room but my mind was still on the guy I met earlier, Chandler.
