Things to Come: Chapter 2: Just a speed bump
))))))((((((
I stared at that little boy for about two minutes before I could decently form words into sentences. "Wha....what did you say?"
He looked up at me with bright blue eyes. "I said my name is Roman Thomas Bing."
I stumbled backwards into the house, barely missing the table that sat by the door. I politely motioned him to come inside and have a seat on the torn couch. He gladly came running in the house and bounced up on the sofa, having no idea how much he had just changed my life. "Would you like anything to drink?" I asked him, not really sure what else to do.
"No thank you, I'm fine." He replied. Somebody had obviously taught him his manners.
"You can watch TV if you want. I'll be right back, don't go anywhere." I said, backing up towards the front door that I had never shut. Before he could reply back, I was speeding out the door. I leaped down the four stairs and hoped over the front gate, not taking the time to stop and open it. I turned and sped to the right, running the few yards in between the houses. I reached the girls front door, pounding furiously.
Thankfully somebody was home, the door burst open just a few seconds after my pounding had subsided. Rachel appeared behind the door, obviously scared by all the noise I had created. Once she caught site of me, she burst out laughing. I was heaved over, trying to catch my breath, sweat dripping off of my forehead. Joey always said I should go running with him and get some exercise, but I always chose to stay home and play Playstation with Ross instead.
"Kid...my house...don't know...where...name is...Roman-" I tried talking in between breaths, my attempts proved unsuccessful.
"Whoa, Chandler, hold on. Let me go get Monica." Rachel laughed and went into the house, leaving the door open for me. I could hear her shout for her, the houses were small and that was usually not necessary. A few seconds later Monica appeared in a bathrobe.
"Chandler, honey, what's wrong?" She asked, smiling at my appearance. I was finally able to catch my breath and talk normal again.
"There's a kid in my house. I have no idea who he is or where he came from. He said his name was Roman Thomas Bing. He was all alone. He seems pretty happy though, like he knows exactly what's going on." I rushed through my story of the past few minutes trying to make them see the horror in this.
"Ok, Chandler, calm down." Monica laughed. She obviously didn't believe me.
"Monica! How can I calm down?!" I screamed. I wasn't ready for a kid, I didn't want one. "You want to see for yourself? Come on." I led them out the door and over to my house, holding the door open for them to see inside.
"Well," Rachel started. "I'd say you have a real problem on your hands." She laughed.
