~ Chapter 13 ~

Chandler and Monica fell asleep in each others arms on the couch. Chandler didn't wake up until around noon, Monica was still asleep. He sat up groggily on the couch and grabbed his cell phone off the table. There were several voice and text messages from Johnny. David entered the room, sandwich in hand.

"So you finally decided to get up huh?" he said taking a bite out of the sandwich

Chandler yawned nodding his head. Him and Monica had stayed up all night playing video games. Well, having sex and then playing video games. He stood from the couch careful not to wake up Monica. He rubbed his face and headed out the room, David followed. Chandler stopped in the bathroom to brush his teeth then walked into the kitchen.

"I guess I owe ya that money" he said plopping down on the couch in the kitchen, a drink now in hand.

"Shhh" Chandler said looking around "Where's Ross?"

"He's taking a nap, he's got his ear phones on. He can't hear anything"

"In that case, no you don't"

"You slept with her didn't you?" he looked at Chandler skeptically

"I did" Chandler said under his breath as he opened the fridge and pulled out a gallon of milk

"What?"

"I did" he said this time audible

"Damnit, I do owe ya a hundred then, a deals a deal"

"No you don't"

"Come on don't tell me all that shit you were talking in the press conference was true."

Chandler poured a glass of milk and jumped up onto the counter. He took a sip of milk before answering. "Every word of it was true"

"You can bullshit the press and her but don't bullshit me"

"I'm not bullshitting you. It's true, I love her"

David looked at him in disbelief. Chandler changed the subject as quick as possible.

"What happened with you and Courteney?"

"Nothing…" Chandler noticed he had hit a nerve

"That much huh?"

"Shut up man. I could have gotten into her pants if I wanted to"

"Uh huh" Chandler grinned playfully

"Fuck you"

"No thanks"

"Does she know it was a bet?" David looked at Chandler

Chandler looked David in the eye "That's not fucking funny" he said seriously

"She doesn't? That's interesting"

Monica walked into the kitchen and Chandler looked to her and then glared at David who had looked to her when she entered. A smug smile crossed his face.

"What are you talking about?" she asked noticing the look Chandler was giving David

"Work" Chandler said hopping off the counter "Did you sleep well?"

"Ya" she said covering her mouth "I'm gonna go brush my teeth I'll be right back"

"Ok" he kissed her on the forehead then she turned and headed for the bathroom. When they could hear the water running David made gagging noises. "What?" Chandler asked defensibly

"Did you sleep well?" he said in a girly voice "You make me sick"

"Very funny"

"Now this is interesting" David said standing up "She doesn't know it was a bet, which by the way I find funny as hell. I bet it would crush her if she found out"

"If you say anything I swear to god I'll kick your ass"

"Whoa who said I was gonna say anything?" David said pretending to be hurt by the allegations "I just might need a little reason not to… like one hundred little reasons"

Chandler glared at him "Fine" he said through clenched teeth. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a one hundred dollar bill and handed it to David "Keep your mouth shut"

"Pleasure doing business with ya" David said smiling exiting the room, on his way to the game room

Monica exited the bathroom seconds later. "Good morning" she said wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him softly.

"Did I wake you up?" Chandler asked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"No" she yawned "Your phone keeps beeping it woke me up"

"Oh I'm sorry"

"No it's ok" she said releasing her hands from his neck moving to the fridge "What time is it?" she opened the fridge and pulled out can of coffee.

"Noon I think"

"Damn, you want any coffee?" she asked scooping the coffee into the filter.

"Sure"

"I'll be right back" Chandler said making his way passed Monica "I'm gonna have to check my messages from Johnny sooner or later" A few minutes later Chandler returned with his phone to his ear ":mimicking computer voice: You have eleven new messages"

Monica sat down at the table, coffee cup in hand, another coffee cup sat across from her. Chandler sat down and took a sip of the coffee. He took the phone from his ear, pressed a button, and then returned it. As the first message played a smile crossed his face. Ten minutes later he hung up the phone, after listening to all the messages.

"I have good news… and 'depending on what you feel about it' news. It's more bitter sweet."

Monica looked at him waiting for him to continue

"The good news is the record company loves the fact that I'm in love. Apparently love songs are the next big thing. The other thing is they want us to do a photo shoot for some magazines so they pushed tonights show to tomorrow. We'll be stopping in Nashville for the photo shoot and they already lined up a number of interviews. So we won't have any time alone. We won't get the date" Monica sat in silence "… you don't have to if you don't want to ya know. I can do it alone, no big deal."

"No it's alright. I'll do it."

"You sure? It's pretty boring" Chandler laughed

"Do you not want me to?" Monica smiled

"You know I do. I'm just letting you know before hand, that it's mind numbingly boring"

"I can deal. This comes in the territory of dating a rock star anyway."

"Ya it unfortunately does"

Three or four hours later they were in Nashville. Ross and David were giving the day off. Monica and Chandler were ushered to a hotel. The master suit, which consisted of the entire top floor, was the setup for the interviews and photo shoot. They had 15 minutes to change into what they were gonna wear before the first photographer was scheduled to be there. They shot photos for a number of magazines for about two hours. They then had 30 minutes before the first interview.

"Bored yet?" Chandler asked laying on the bed while people busied themselves in the room taking down the lights and equipment from the last photo shot making room for the set up for the interviews.

"Do you have to ask?" Monica said sitting down on the bed.

Chandler laughed "I told ya"

The interviews last for hours. Each reporter asking the same questions: 'how and when did you meet?', 'When did you know you were in love?', ' How has it changed everything?', ' How do you think the fans feel?', 'Do you think they'll embrace the relationship?' and so on. By the time the fifth reporter had left the time was 8:33pm. Johnny entered the room.

"Please tell me we're done"

"We're done. Stop whining Chandler"

"Good"

"Until we get to New Orleans."

"Damnit"

"Get your stuff. We have to leave now if we're gonna make it to New Orleans in time for the Rolling Stone interview and shoot"

"We're gonna be in Rolling Stone?" Monica asked in disbelief

"Sure are. Now hurry up we've got to go"

They were in the bus and on the road ten minutes later. Ross was already asleep and David was in the back watching tv. Monica and Chandler sat on the coach in the living room/kitchen eating for the first time since they got to Nashville.

"Hey Chandler!" David called from the back "You're on tv again!"

Monica and Chandler walked into the room seconds later. Both of them were on the "MTV news at 10 to the hour every hour"

"Chandler Bing, lead singer of Chanandler Bong, has found love with his band mates sister, Monica Geller. Are they truly in love or is it merely a crush? Will the relationship last? The answers to those question and more on Gidions interview with the couple tomorrow at 4:30/3:30central."

Chandler and Monica appear on screen. They are sitting on a couch in the hotel. Chandlers arm is around Monicas shoulders, her hand is on his knee. "We're very much in love" Chandler says looking at Monica "This definitely isn't a crush…"

"Stay tuned for more news ten to the hour, every hour here on MTV."

"We interviewed with Gidion?" Chandler asked

"Uh huh he was third or fourth"

"Oh"

"That was so weird"

"What?" Chandler and David asked simultaneously

"Being on MTV."

"It gets old really fast." David said exiting the room giving Chandler a look, he knew what it meant.

"Are you tired?" Chandler asked stretching

"Oh ya"

"Me too, lets go to bed"
