*Back To You*
Chandler walked into Ross and Rachel's wedding reception with a feeling of dread. Happiness, of course for Ross and Rachel but dread of seeing her again. It had been almost a year and a half since The Night... Chandler shook his head. Rachel saw him and rushed over.
"Chandler!! How the hell have you been?!? What's it been, like, a year!?"
"Great to see you too, Rach. I'm so sorry I missed the wedding but.. I had... stuff to do. So where's Ross?"
"In here, I'll take you. Come on. Come on, Chandler!" Rachel led Chandler into the main hall where Ross was talking with his cousin Cassie. Cassie saw them and a grateful grin broke across her face.
"Rachel! Chandler, right? Wow, you haven't changed a bit! You still with Monica?" Ross shot her a look and she shut up.
"Anyway, I'll let you two catch up. See ya later!" Cassie hurried away.
"Man! Chandler! How ya been? I'm so glad you could come!" Ross gave Chandler a hug.
"Yeah, Ross, Congratulations! Rachel and Ross finally made it, huh?" Rachel grinned.
"Ross!" A voice came from behind Chandler. "We're going to need more- Oh,Chandler! Hi." Monica gave an uncomfortable smile. "How've you been?"
Hundreds a thoughts raced through Chandler's head. I can't tell her the truth. What's the truth? I still love her! I shouldn't have left and-
"Just fine," he replied. "You?"
She gave a weak smile. "Okay. Anyway, Ross, can I talk to you for a moment?" Monica took Ross off to the side and Chandler talked with Rachel. Everything had been fine, it seemed, sincec he left. Monica had had dates, but then, so had he. Only one actually. He reminded her too much of Monica though. He still remembered that night....
*A year and a half ago.....
"Monica!" Chandler walked into the apartment Monica and he shared. "Monica!" he called out again. No answer. She was probably still at work. Great. This couldn't wait. He was supposed to take her out to dinner, and propose. He'd have to go to her work. Okay. Car keys, jacket, am I missing something? He thought for a moment. The ring! Oh, yeah, minor detail. He grabbed it from his dresser drawer and raced out the door. He arrived at Monica's resturant and jumped out of the cab, just remembering to pay the guy.
He rushed up to the counter where a woman was standing. "Is Monica here?" he inquired.
"She's in the back with a customer. Hold on a sec." She went back into the kitchen then came back out. "Just someone complimenting the chef, I think." Chandler stood around and waited for a few minutes.
"Does complementing the chef take this long?" The woman gave him a look.
"I'll go check it out." She came back a few minutes later. "Do people complementing the chef usually propose to them?" She asked with red cheeks.
"What?!?" Chandler yelled. He pushed into the kitchen where he saw Richard. "You, you, you big tree! What the hell are you doing?!? This is my girlfriend... Monica! I'm supposed to ask you to marry me! What are YOU doing?!?" Monica's face was red and too flushed to speak.
Monica finally spoke, "But you said you didn't believe in marriage and that it was stupid and..." She trailed off.
"So... you accept other guys proposals? What do you know about me and what I think about marriage?!" He took the ring out of his pocket and threw it at her feet. "What do you think YOU know, Monica...." He took a breath, "Burke!" He rushed out of the kitchen. The woman at the counter asked,
"Are you okay?" as he rushed by. He could hear Monica calling him as he left, hailed a cab, and left.
*Present Day....
"Chandler?" Rachel was looking at him stragely. "You okay? You kinda drifted off there for a minute."
"I'm fine. What were you saying, Rach?" As Rachel began talking about Ralph Lauren and her job, Chandler tried to forget what he had been thinking of, knowing he couldn't. Ever.
Nice isn't it? Review, tell me what u think! :D
