Sorry it took so long I decided I would write another chapter and if ppl
like it I will continue. Disclaimer: I don't own them
As Monica and chandler left Central park Monica suddenly began to feel excited about the prospect of life in a new city maybe it would not be as bad as she hoped she thought as she watched the street light highlight Chandlers perfectly chiselled cheeks. Suddenly she became aware of the fact that she was holding a virtual strangers hand."
Chandler was taken aback when Monica abruptly moved her hand from his and feigned a cough. Understanding why she might feel uncomfortable holding a strangers hand he sheepishly put his hands back in his pocket. "So where do you want to go" Chandler asked hoping to put her at ease. Monica thought for a moment and eagerly replied that she would love to see the Empire State building to get a proper view of the city.
After a forty minute walk Monica and Chandler were stepping out of the elevator and onto Chandler smiled as he watched Monica's reaction at the beauty of the city. "Wow" Monica stated "Maybe I had this city all figured out wrong" she whispered. Chandler had mixed emotions at this statement and Monica noticed him shift around nervously. But decided it was too beautiful a moment to spoil.
Chandler decided now would be a good place to actually get to know this person who cooked the best chicken con carne in Chicago. "So" he joked "What made you come to New York, on the run, give someone food poisoning"
Monica looked out over the New York skyline and fiddled with her ring "I guess you could say I am on the run" Chandler flashed a smile but when he saw a tear glisten in her high he gently brushed her arm to reassure her. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to".
Monica decided to bite the bullet and thought she might as well tell someone what had happened. So she launched into the story of her life. She explained to Chandler that she was content in Chicago she had a good job got on with her colleagues and a wonderful boyfriend named Mitch. One day after feeling sick at work she arrived home early to see Mitch and one of her waitresses in her bed.
"God, heavy stuff" Chandler said as he watched Monica pull a tear from her eye. "Yeah" Monica mumbled back she quickly regained her composure and smiled "so I decided that I would make a fresh life for myself and then I got the job offer here." Anyways enough about my doomed relationships show me this city. As she looked around at the skyline she asked Chandler where would the twin towers have been had the attacks never taken place.
Chandler's heart started pounding and all of a sudden he felt that he couldn't breathe. Not wanting to make Monica uncomfortable he suggested that they were over there somewhere as he flippantly flicked his hand to the left of him.
Monica noticed his sudden unease and hoped that she hadn't offended him by asking the question she decided she would dodge the subject of Sept 11 for the remainder of the night .As she watched him she wondered how this event had affected him but knew by his attitude right now that it was a subject she did not want to press the subject with him.
Chandler couldn't believe how quickly the two hours had passed since he had met Monica. He examined her beautiful face as she glided past him as he opened the door to the ice cream parlour situated on a street corner that Monica for future reference noticed was close by to Macys and Bloomingdales. "I must hit those shops tomorrow" she said to Chandler pointing to the two famous New York stores.
As they settled down with there ice cream sundaes Monica decided it was time to find out about his life. "So tell me about you" I only knew you an hour and you knew about Mitch try and beat that for a disastrous love life". Again Chandler seemed ill at ease Monica noted. "Well done" .She always did this she would be having a great time with a guy and then blow it by seeming too eager.
Although Chandler was uncomfortable with this question there was something about her that he couldn't explain which made Chandler not want to run. So as uncomfortable as he was he decided he better bring some sort of an answer to her plate since she had borne her soul. "well he began I was a commitment phobic until I met Kathy and she broke my heart" That was all he felt he could say to Monica s compassionate as she seemed.
Realising Chandler was not ready to embrace the subject with her fully Monica gently reached out and grabbed his hand and stroked it to reassure him. In appreciation of this gesture chandler reached out in return and grinned at her. "so " chandler began " I wanna know about Monica where did you grow up, brothers, sisters,parents,pets college I wanna know I showed you New York now as a returned favour you have to answer all those questions"
Monica inhaled as she prepared to answer all those questions " I grew up in Springfield, Illinios. I have one brother older he is a scientist here at NYU but he si in China on business some bone or something "she explained while rolling her eyes up to heaven. "When will he be back" Chandler probed "Next month so at least I wont be as lost as I am here now" Monica replied. "You won't be lost in this city if I have anything to do with it "chandler thought as he squeezed her hand a little tighter. Monica went on to Chandler how she developed her love for food as her dad was a successful business man so she had to show face at a lot of business dinners in her teens and decided it was something she pursued "So" she continued how she went to the big smoke of Chicago to enrol in culinary college. I was there until I was 21.I travelled around Europe and south America then for a year and eventually got my dream job when I arrived back .She then finished her life story with a quick and "here I am know eating ice cream in a very dodgy looking diner with the most feared food critc in north America"
Chandler defended himself with a laugh "It may look dodgly but is it or is it not the best ice cream you have ever tasted" Monica smiled she had to agree that not only had the ice cream been pretty amazing but the whole night had been. "oh god" she explained "im meeting Rachel in ten minutes outside tiffany can you bring me there I haven't got a clue where I am."
Chandler didn't say anything he just got out of his seat and grabbed Monica's hand. He decided it would be safe to holds her hand now that they had been stroking each others hands across the table for the past two hours. Monica squealed with delight as her and chandler ran past all the beautifully lit shops of new York. A few steps in front of her as they were running Monica couldn't believe how handsome he was.
Eventually Chandler stopped outside the beautiful jewellers shop triumphantly explaining "and a minute for left over" while still struggling to catch his breath.Cahndlers anxiety grew as he realised that his time with Monica had been reduced to thirty seconds he decided he couldn't not ask her for her number this ,he decided, was something he definitely wanted to pursue.
"So" he began "would it be terribly presumptuous of me to ask you for your number " Monica laughed as she realised just how much he lacked confidence. "Chandler we just spent six hours together I think its safe to say I will give you my number"
Chandler gratefully accepted Monica's piece of paper while deciding whether to kiss her or not he heard a voice squeal "Monica" behind him. As Monica ran over to hug Rachel chandler dug his hands in his pocket and shifted some dirt from the path with his foot. As Monica and Rachel finished there embrace chandler said to Monica I will call you and quietly slipped of without even waiting for an introduction to Rachel.
"Who was that hottie" Rachel probed to Monica watching him blend in with the crowd. After Monica explained the course of the evening to Rachel she quivered with excitement. However she explained to Rachel how she felt that he was suffering from something that she couldn't quite pinpoint.Racehl didn't care all she cared about was whether or not Monica and this guy Chandler had exchanged numbers or not. Rachel hyperactive by nature started jumping with delight.
