A/N: Ok, this chapter will be short. I'm sorry, but I need inspiration for this story. I've got a few ideas. I've actually changed the main idea of the story around since I first got this idea. I apologize for the shortness. Blame lack-of-inspiration and tiredness. Also, this chapter consists of mostly dialogue.
Summary: Chandler tells Kevin stuff from what he mentioned at the end of chapter four. Roxanne heads to the church to talk to Chandler. Maybe they both have some fessing up to do.
Chapter Five: Off To The Church She Goes
"So, you cheated on Roxanne?" Kevin asked Chandler, surprised. Chandler just didn't seem like the type of guy to cheat on his girlfriend.
"I wouldn't exactly call it cheating." Chandler said.
"But you said that you kissed another woman while you and Roxanne were dating." Kevin stated.
"No, I said another woman and I kissed, as in she kissed me." Chandler replied.
"How did that happen?" Kevin asked.
"Well, it was about a month ago in early April. This woman named Cindy came into my office. She said she needed help. According to her story, she was raped by her boyfriend and needed help to 'get over it', as she put it. So, we did a few counseling sessions. But she didn't talk about anything that had to do with what she was supposed to be going through. Then one day, she kissed me. She said that her boyfriend never raped her and she was just looking for a way to get closer to me. She wanted to go out with me. But I told her I was in love with someone else and she stormed out of the church. I haven't seen her since." Chandler told Kevin his 'cheated tale'.
"Whoa..." Was Kevin's only response.
"Yeah, I know. I'm planning to call Roxanne and talk to her about it later tonight. So please don't mention anything to her about any of this while you guys are at work today." Chandler said to Kevin.
"Don't worry, I won't." Kevin responded.
"Thanks Kevin." Chandler said.
"No problem Chandler." Kevin responded and hung up the phone.

Later on that day, Kevin and Roxanne had gotten off their early work shift. Both left the police station. Today was Kevin's turn to drive Roxanne home.
Kevin pulled into Roxanne's driveway. Roxanne got out of the car.
"Thanks for the ride, Kinkirk." Roxanne said, heading to her front door.
"No problem." Kevin responded and drove off.

"Where are you going?" Terry asked his daughter as she headed out the front door.
"Out dad, ok." Roxanne responded, shutting the door.
Terry sighed. Part of him was saying 'go after her'. The other part was saying 'let her go'. He listened to the 'let her go' part. After all, she was a grown woman. She could take care of herself, hopefully.

Chandler sat in the church office, along with Eric Camden. Both were looking over some paperwork type stuff, when they heard a slight knock on the door. They both looked up, it was Roxanne.
"Chandler, we have to talk." Roxanne said, looking at him. There was something in her eyes that made Chandler feel strange. Something was up with her; he could feel it.
"I'll leave you two alone." Eric said, exiting the room.
Roxanne sat down in a chair. A chair that brought her face-to-face with Chandler.
"What's the matter Roxanne?" Chandler asked, pretending not to care. That way he wouldn't look like he'd been waiting for this to happen since last night.
"I think we should get back together." Roxanne said.
"Why, so you can just have me sit around and wait for you to make a commitment? No Roxanne, you just can't do that to people. I'm not going to sit around and wait for you to make a commitment forever. No matter how much I love you, I won't do it." Chandler stated.
"No, it's not that. I just don't think we should've broken up in the first place. We're in love. We belong together." Roxanne replied.
"If we're 'in love', then why won't you marry me?" Chandler asked, feeling last night's bitterness shoot through him.
"You're not going to give up on that, are you?" Roxanne asked him.
"No, I'm not." Chandler replied.
"Then fine. I say yes." Roxanne said simply.
"Yes to what?" Chandler asked, confused.
"Your marriage proposal. Yes, I will marry you." Roxanne replied.
"But, I don't have the ring with me." Chandler told her.
"Ring, who needs a ring?" Roxanne said, yet again simply.
"Ok, so I guess we're engaged now." Chandler said, trying to get used to the idea.
"I guess this also means we're back together again." Roxanne said, sounding happy.
"I guess so." Chandler responded.
They got up from their seats and hugged and then kissed.
"Now, there's just one more thing I need to sort out." Roxanne said, remembering what she had to tell him.
"What's that?" Chandler asked her, yet again confused.
"I cheated on you." Roxanne said; the words seemed to role off of her tongue and into the air. Too late to take back. What had she just done?
End Of Chapter Five
A/N: Yet another wonderful cliffhanger. I just love to put them in. Oh well. Anyway, what will happen next? If you want to know, review. Ok, I've got to go and get some sleep.
