Chapter five
Chandler wrapped his arms around Monica while she cried. She was getting his shirt soaked, but he didn't care. He just rubbed her back soothingly until she calmed down.
"I'm sorry I got your shirt all wet." She said apologetically when she had stopped crying.
"That's okay. It needed to be washed anyway." Chandler quipped. Monica smiled a little. "I'm sorry about your ex-husband." Chandler said more sympathetically.
"Thanks." Monica said as more tears came to her eyes. Chandler just enveloped her in his embrace and held her for a while.

Joey came up every weekend from then on to be there for Monica. They had been together for a couple months now and Chandler was so jealous. Monica was pretty much over Richard and his death.
One night Joey took Monica on a moonlit stroll through the park. They walked along in silence for a couple minutes until Joey stopped suddenly.
"Monica, I have something I really need to say."
"Okay," Monica said uneasy. She backed up until she was next to him again. He took her hand in his.
"I think I love you." He said.
Monica was shocked. He loved her. She knew she didn't love him. She liked him a lot, but love? She didn't know what to say. Fortunately she didn't have to say anything because before she could Joey leaned in and kissed her.
Monica liked the feeling of being loved. She liked being cared for. She just wished that the person who was caring for her were Chandler.
*
It had been a month since Joey told her those three simple words and in that time her crush for Chandler had become almost unbearable. Every time she saw him she just wanted to kiss him.
Unfortunately that wouldn't happen. She knew it never could, but that still didn't stop the feelings that rushed over her every time she saw him or their eyes locked when they were talking.
Monica had gotten used to dating Joey and actually was liking it despite her feelings for Chandler. She liked being in a relationship and being secure. It was way better than being alone. Plus Joey loved her. Although she never said it back, he always told her it.
That made her feel good. At least some one cared and loved her, she often thought. Deep down she knew she would never be satisfied until she loved him back or found some one who she loves and loves her just as much.

Chandler sat down on the ugly old couch of his favorite coffee shop. He was deep in thought drinking his coffee. He was thinking of Monica. He loved her. He knew it. He wanted to tell her so bad, but she was with Joey.
Chandler wanted to hate Joey, but he couldn't. He really liked Joey. They were becoming really good friends.
Chandler didn't even notice a pretty red haired woman sit down next to him. She cleared her throat. Chandler's head shot up.
"Is this seat taken?" She asked smiling at him.
"No." He replied going back to drinking his coffee.
"My name's Kelly, by the way." She said looking over at him. 'He is really cute' She thought. She really wanted to get to know him.
Chandler realized how rude he was being, just totally ignoring this woman. He smiled back at her. "I'm Chandler."
That was the beginning of a relationship for Chandler and Kelly. They immediately hit it off.
Kelly helped take Chandler's mind off Monica. He didn't think about her as much anymore. Still, sometimes when he was alone in his bed at night he couldn't help but wonder about them.
Monica hadn't met Kelly yet. Chandler had been dating her for about a month now. Chandler and Monica still hung out as much as they could. Chandler watched Allie and Alex whenever Monica had to work. They were still best friends.
A week later Chandler had invited Monica and the kids over for dinner. Kelly would also be there it would be their first meeting. Kelly knew Monica would be there, but Monica still didn't know about Kelly.
Kelly was already at Chandler's helping him cook. There was a knock at the door then the sound of the door opening and closing.
"You know, Chandler, you really should keep your door locked. Any one could just." She stopped talking as she walked into the kitchen and saw an unfamiliar woman standing next to Chandler.
"Chandler!" Alex and Allie yelled running up and giving him a hug.
"Who's that?" Allie asked pointing at Kelly.
"This is my friend Kelly." Chandler said looking at Monica for her reaction.
"You mean like your girlfriend?" Allie asked smiling.
"Maybe." Chandler replied smiling back. "Now go watch T.V. until dinner's done." He said giving her a push into the living room. She giggled then her and Alex ran into the living room.
Monica hardly said a word all through dinner. If she did was to say something mean to Kelly or to yell at her kids.
Kelly left soon after dinner, but Monica stayed a while longer. It was a tradition for Monica and Chandler to watch T.V. together after dinner. Alex and Allie would go upstairs and play in the playroom that Chandler had made for them.
Chandler was sitting with his arm around Monica, how they often sat. She was laying her head on his shoulder.
"So what did you think of Kelly?" Chandler asked. He felt her stiffen when he mentioned Kelly.
"She was okay." Monica said. It was obvious to Chandler that she didn't like her.
"Why don't you like her?" Chandler asked.
"I do." She said lying.
"No you don't and I want to know why." Chandler said getting angry. 'Why wouldn't she just tell why she didn't like Kelly' He thought.
"I don't know why I don't like her." She said jumping up from the couch.
"Maybe it's because I have feelings for you. Maybe it's because I have wanted to be your girlfriend since the first moment I saw you, but Rachel told me it would never happen. I don't know, maybe it's because I want you so bad sometimes that I cry at night because I thought I couldn't have you."
She was abruptly interrupted by Chandler jumping up and pulling her to him. He leaned in quickly and kissed her passionately.
