Hey, ok this might seem a bit random and jumpy, but I just needed to set up
how they meet but this is where the story properly starts ok! Sorry if it
seems rushed and weird but it'll work out I promise lol. Also it might
seem a bit OVER soppy but that's meant to be, as you will see in due
course, please bear with me all will make sense in the eeeeend.
Everything happened so fast. They went out on many dates after that night. Both Chandler and Monica were falling, and fast. Neither of them had ever been in something so intense, but it was great at the same time. Chandler didn't have time to have commitment fears, one minute he was seeing this woman and the next minute he was in love with her, he couldn't even say when it happened it just did. They were both crazy about each other and everything just seemed to fall into place. Monica couldn't believe it, everything good in her life had come about at once, and she didn't expect to ever be this happy so soon.
"Hey, babe can we talk?" Chandler asked when he came over for about the third time that day, they had been practically living together.
"Sure, what's up?" She said, taking a seat next to him on the sofa.
"My work want to send me to Paris for two weeks" Monica looked at the floor, obviously upset at the prospect of spending two weeks without him "BUT" He interjected before she could get too upset "They send if I was willing to go, they'd let you come too, for free and I could get the first 3 days off so we could spend it together, so."
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm THERE!" Monica shouted out before Chandler could carry on.
"Great!" He looked at Monica who was making her way to the bedroom "Wow, you really like the idea of Paris, we starting our holiday already?" he said, grinning manically.
"What?" she said, then realised what he was referring to "Oh no, I was just coming in here to start packing!"
Paris was beautiful just as she had imagined it, she only wished she had more time to spend with Chandler than three days. They had arrived early in the morning French time and gone straight to bed due to the jetlag. By the time they woke up it was already 5 O'clock and beginning to get dark. They decided they would go out and have dinner, and walk around a bit afterwards.
"So when do the other guys from your work arrive?" Monica asked as they walked along the riverside
"Ah, er, I dunno Thursday I think, but lets not talk about work this is about you and me, and I don't want to have to think about it right now" Chandler said, Monica suspected something weird about him, he'd always divert away from the conversation every time he mentioned work.
He held her hand as they walked along the river; it was deathly silent with absolutely no people about. The river was beautiful, peacefully lit up by lights shining down on it. She snuggled closer to his warm coat, the air was cold and they could see each other's breath
"Hey look, lets cross here!" Chandler said pointing to a bridge that crossed straight across the river "Lets go and look at that building"
The building was huge and old, with carefully crafted statues and stained glass windows decorating the exterior.
"Wow!" Monica exclaimed, "It's beautiful". She stood in front of a big gate that would have opened out onto an amazing courtyard with a large fountain in the centre and arches leading to different parts of it on each side.
"You wanna go in and look?" Chandler said grinning.
"We can't do that! The gates locked!" Monica shouted.
"Sure we can, it's not like there's anyone around!"
Before she could complain Chandler had lifted her up and started to help her over the gate.
"Quick!" he said pretending to sound panicked "in case someone comes!"
"Don't tease me Bing!" She said, as she jumped down on the other side. Chandler carefully made his way over the gate and jumped down beside her.
"See?" he said.
They walked over to the fountain, their footsteps echoing around the courtyard.
"Can we throw a penny in?" Monica said.
"Sure" he said and handed her a penny. She closed her eyes and threw it in, joining all the other pennys and wishes that littered the floor of the fountain.
"What did you wish for?" Chandler asked
"Ah, that would ruin the wish wouldn't it if I told you?"
Chandler smiled and leant in and kissed her as they stood in front of it.
"Wow, I didn't think they came true that fast!" She said, once he had pulled away.
Chandler laughed, and then suddenly his face grew serious as he glanced over her shoulder.
"Oh my God!" He whispered, "Look at that man!"
Monica turned to look, but there was no one there.
"Chandler what are you talki.." As she turned back Chandler had knelt down on one knee in front of her.
"Monica." He started
"Oh my god!" She whispered back "I can't believed you remembered!"
"What? That you wanted to be proposed to in Paris? How could I forget, I just needed to make up that work story so you wouldn't get suspicious!"
"You mean we have two weeks together, no work to go to? That's fantastic"
"Yeah, and can I carry on with my bit now? It's not THE most comfortable position to be in you know"
She laughed and nodded.
"Monica" he said softly "Will you marry me?"
Tears began forming in her eyes and she let out a soft "yes" as he stood up and kissed her passionately.
"EXCUSEZ-MOI!" A voice shouted from behind them, running their moment.
Chandler and Monica jerked back, shocked by the sudden shouting.
"Let's get outta here!" he said grabbing Monica by the hand leading her away from where the voice was coming from, both laughing.
