The Girl
Chapter Nine
AN: If weeks, holidays, and dates don't fit, just pretend that they do.
Christmas was three days away and Chandler still had no idea what to get his girlfriend. They had been going out for five months and were together all of the time. You didn't say Chandler without saying Monica and you didn't say Monica without saying Chandler. They were so happy together and everyone could see it. He had met with Monica the day before and told her that his mother, Nora, would be flying in to New York in about a month. She was excited to meet her but only wished that she could introduce some kind of parent to him.
Knowing that Monica was at work, Chandler walked into apartment 20.
"Rach?" he called out.
"Yea?" she answered walking out of her room carrying a catalog.
"Okay I have thought about this forever and I have no idea what to get Mon for Christmas and it's only three days away!"
"Chandler calm down."
"But what..."
"The only advice that I can give you is to give her something from your heart." she said before flipping the page and walking back into her room.
Chandler looked at his watch and seeing that is was twelve in the afternoon, he decided to visit Monica on her lunch break. Maybe he would get some ideas on the walk there. He walked out of the building. When he got to the restaurant, he found his girlfriend sitting on the curb outside. She didn't see him coming until he sat down besides her.
"Hey babe." Chandler greeted her. It was then that he noticed she was crying. "Monica, honey, what's wrong?"
"They fired me."
"Why?"
"Some guy complained about my food." she said before resting her head in Chandler's shoulder and crying her heart out.
"It'll be okay." he said trying to comfort her when all he really wanted to do was go into the restaurant and beat the crap out of Mon's used to be boss for making her cry.
"How will I pay my half and..." she stopped short as sobs once again controlled her body.
"I'll help you out Mon. You know how much I love you. I would give up my life for you."
"Really?" Monica asked lifting her face.
"Really." Chandler replied wiping away the tears that were again falling down her cheeks.
She smiled at him. The smile that was just for him. It was at that instance that he knew what he would get the love of his life for the impending holiday and it would be prefect. They walked back to their apartments hand in hand. It was cold outside and since Monica was freezing in only her light coat Chandler gave her his coat leaving him in a single sweatshirt.
"Chandler you need a coat."
"You're my girlfriend and you're cold and there is my coat." he said pointing to the coat that smelled so richly of him on her small shoulders.
"How about we share?"
"Alright." he said giving in yet again.
The snow began to lightly fall. When they finally got to their street, they decided to stop at Central Perk. They both walked inside and Monica ordered hot chocolate. They cuddled up in the booth next to the heater. Monica took a sip of the drink enjoying its warmth.
"You sure you don't want any Chandler?"
"Well just one sip."
She handed the cup to him and he took a sip. They ended up sharing the drink but the marshmallows that decorated the top, which were now on the bottom, were a different story.
"Mon do you want the last marshmallow?"
"Yea. But you can have it."
"Here you go." Chandler said handing her the cup.
She popped the mellow into her mouth. Chandler smiled and leaned in to kiss her. When the kiss ended he was chewing the fluffy white mellow.
"You traitor." Monica said smiling.
"Yea. But you love me anyway."
"And you're lucky I do, you stealer." she said smiling then taking his hand, standing, and the two of them happily walking out the door, sharing his jacket.
Alright now as always feedback is well liked. LOL. Hope you enjoyed it.
