When we last left off, Phoebe told Monica that Chandler and Joey where out on a date with two girls, she was surprised to hear that Chandler was on a date, so she went to her room while everyone was looking towards her door with a worried look on their faces.
This isn't very important, but I'll say it anyway: This °¬°¬ means that the thing that comes under it is in the same place but different time and this *-*-means that what is under it happens in a different scene, enjoy youself! =)

Monica entered her room with a surprised look on her face. "Why am I so surprised?" she asked herself "I mean Chandler is a guy who happens to like woman and he went on a date, he just wanted to meet someone because maybe he felt lonely, but why am I so worried... its not like I have feelings for him, right?? No! He is my best friend I told him the other day that friends aren't supposed to be together, so why am I acting so weird?" She was passing around her room, from one side to the other, then she sat down on her bed "Come on, Monica, why are you acting like this? Joey goes on dates everyday and you are not surprised, maybe because you are used to it, yeah that must be it. It's the first time I hear Chandler going on a date, so that's why I'm surprised" With that thought in mind Monica laid on her bed.

°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬

An hour had passed and Monica couldn't sleep, why? She didn't know, she just kept imagining Chandler on that date.

She was finally being able to fall asleep when she heard the door of her bedroom open, she jumped a little scared, then she turned on the light and saw Chandler standing there.

"Hi, were you sleeping?" Chandler asked entering the room.

"Almost"

"I'm sorry, I'll let you sleep"

"No, Chandler, don't worry"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, come in, sit here" Monica said pointing a space next to her.

"Thanks" He said smiling and sat next to her.

"So... what brought you here?"

"I came here in the first place to apologize for not telling you that I... I mean Joey and I weren't coming for dinner"

"Its ok, Phoebe told me..."

"Oh ok"

"So, how was your date?" Monica asked.

"Fine, she was pretty and nice, I think I'll call her again"

"You think?"

"Well, actually I am calling her again... after she leaves" He said with a grin.

"What do you mean by after she leaves?"

"Oh, she is at my place now, waiting for me so we can you know..."

"Oh and why is she waiting?"

"Because I told her that I needed to come here to talk to you first" Chandler said smiling.

"Oh well, you already talked to me, so you are free to go" Monica said a little mad.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just saying that you can go now"

"O...k, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yeah, bye!"

Chandler looked at her with a confused look in his face, he turned around and left. Monica felt like crying, "why did I tell him that best friends weren't supposed to be together, why didn't I realize that I had feelings for him before?" Monica asked herself angrily.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Chandler entered his apartment and saw that it was empty. Joey had gone with his date so that Chandler could stay here with Claire, but she wasn't there, she started calling her name, until he heard someone saying in a sexy voice "Chandler, I'm in your room waiting for you..." he smiled to himself and went inside the room.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

"I went to Monica's apartment, I had to apologize for not coming for dinner"

"Ok, now lets forget about that, because I don't want to waste more of my time"

"Ok then..."

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

THE NEXT MORNING Monica woke up, she hadn't slept very well and now she was awakened by some noises from outside. She got up from her bed and went out.

When she stepped out of her room she saw everyone plus Claire in the living room talking and laughing. Ross and Rachel were sitting on the sofa, Chandler and Claire were in the couch and Joey and Phoebe were sitting on the floor. When they noticed Monica everyone said hey/hello/hi/etc...

"Hey guys" She said.

"Monica, this is Claire, Claire this is Monica" Chandler said.

"Hi, Monica. Nice to meet you" Claire said.

"Hi Claire" Monica said.

"So, what's for breakfast?" Joey asked.

"I just got up, give me a brake" Monica said madly.

"Mon, are you ok?" Ross asked.

"Yes, I'm fine"

"You sure?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes, 100% sure"

"I have to leave now, I have to work" Claire said.

"Oh, but you are not staying for breakfast??" Chandler asked.

"No sweetie, I really have to go, I'll call you later, ok?" she said, standing up.

"Ok" he said, walking her to the door.

Before she could open the door, he kissed her very passionately, everyone but Monica smiled, she started looking into the fridge and everywhere, except towards Chandler and Claire.

After Claire was gone and they had breakfast everybody left, only Chandler and Monica stayed.

"So, now that we are both staying, what do you wanna do?" Chandler asked.

"What about Monopoly?" Monica suggested.

"Sure" He said smiling.

They placed the game on the table and started playing.

°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬

HALF AND HOUR LATER they were still playing, Chandler was counting his money because he was winning, suddenly he realized that some money was missing.

"Hey, I'm missing $1000" He said looking at her.

"I don't know" She said smiling.

"Oh, come on, you have them, give them to me" Chandler said.

"I don't have them"

"You don't know how to lie, Monica. I know you, now give them to me"

"No"

"Monica!"

"Nop"

"Don't be such a baby"

"I'm not a baby, you are a baby"

Chandler stood up and so did Monica, he looked at her once and he stared chasing her around the apartment yelling "Give it to me!" They continued like this for like 3 minutes, always running from on side to the other, Monica tried to escape from Chandler and tried to jump over the couch but Chandler grabbed her. They both fall on the couch, Chandler on top of Monica; they stared into each other's eyes, Monica lifted her face up a little until she kissed him, it lasted a few seconds because Chandler broke apart.

He stood up and quickly went to the door.

"Sorry Mon, I can't do this" With that he left the room.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

THREE WEEKS HAD PASSED and Monica and Chandler never talked about it again. There was an uncomfortable silence between them at first, but then it got back to normal because they never mentioned it again.

Chandler was still going out with Claire and Monica didn't forget that kiss. Even though she never mentioned it again, she liked it and a lot, it made her realize that she had feelings for him. At first she thought that she felt something special for him, but now she was more than sure.

She decided that she needed to tell him, but how? She couldn't tell him face to face "Maybe telling him over the phone is a good idea" she thought.

°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬°¬

TWO HOURS LATER Monica got out of bed and went left the apartment, she stood in front of Chandler and Joey's apartment door and left a letter there. Then she went inside her bedroom and closed the door. She took the phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hey Chandler"

"Oh, hey Monica! How are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks, I have to tell you something quickly"

"Ok, what is it?"

"First of all, is Claire there?"

"No, she is out for the weekend"

"Ok, then go outside your apartment and you will find a letter, it's from me, please read it, ok?"

"A letter? Ok, I'll read it"

"Thanks, that was it, bye!"

With that Monica hang up, Chandler got up from his bed and went over to the door, he looked at the letter, then he picked it up and went into his apartment again and into his room, he closed the door and started reading it:

Dear CHANDLER:

There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought of you since we kissed.
I know that you don't think of me anymore and the reason for it is always present, you now have a girlfriend and you don't care about me anymore, except as a friend.
I didn't want to accept my feelings for you, and because of my shyness I hid this beautiful sentiment and told you that best friends shouldn't be together.
Now I realize that I should have told you what I felt, but I lost my chance and I let go one of the best persons in the world.
This is unbelievable, until now I hadn't realized the talent I have to hide my feelings, I wish I didn't have it. Right now I wish I could say what I feel for you, even though I know there is no use, I have to forget you, but I can't. I don't deserve someone like you near me, what do I do?
With anguish I try to forget the one person that taught me how to really love.
Why didn't I recognize at the right time that with simple words you opened the door to my feelings trapped in my heart.
With the happiness you show to go on with your life, with the love you feel for everything around you; even the most insignificant things, you could give away your perfect qualities. That is why one day I loved you, that is why today I love you and because of everything you have done and because of everything you are, you will always be in my heart, in my soul and in my thoughts.

Monica

Chandler looked shocked, reading it once and again, trying to figure out what had happened, minutes ago Monica was his friend, now she was a person that loved him.
