Chapter 7
Monica was sitting on her couch wondering if Chandler loves her or its just her loving him. She doesn't know whether to learn to love someone who loves her or wait until she'll be loved by the one she loves. And clearly, she has no answer to that.
Rachel came in and saw Monica sitting on the couch. She's never seen her best friend like this. Monica gave Rachel a lot of advice on love, but it seems that she can't solve her own love problems.
"Monica, sweetie, what's wrong?" Rachel asked with concern in her eyes.
"Rach, can I ask you something?" Monica asked with tears forming in her eyes
"Anything, Monica"
"What do you think I should do? Learn to love someone who loves me or wait for the chance to be loved by the man that I love?"
"Monica, that is hard! But, what if when the person you love will love you by the time you don't love him anymore?"
"You know what, you're right. I'll go look for Joey" Monica said and stood up from the couch
"BUT," Rachel continued, motioning Monica to sit down again "but what if the person you love loves you too, you just didn't know?"
"You're right. I'll go look for Chandler" Monica said standing up again.
"Mon, always remember I like you to be with Joey–"
"But Rach—"Monica interrupted Rachel, and Rachel didn't give Monica the chance to talk
"BUT, life is so short to waste time for someone who's unworthy for your love. It's so sad when the right person will not be able to search for you because you're too busy all your life making the wrong person right for you. Monica go look for Chandler. Tell him how you feel, he's the right person for you, and I hope he feels the same way too"
"Thanks Rachel" Monica said in the verge of tears and ran to Rachel and hugged her.
Chandler was lying in his hospital bed. He was waiting for the doctor to return. As if on cue,
"Mr. Bing," The doctor, Dr. Andrews, knocked and came in "You can go home now. We'll just call you back here for the test results."
"Thank you, Dr. Andrews"
"But for the meantime, you have to rest completely for the next 2 weeks"
"Okay, thank you"
Chandler went home that night. Well, not exactly home. He went to his mom's beach house in Montauk.
Knock Knock
Phoebe got off the couch and answered the door
"Hi" A girl said
"Hi, Can I help you?"
"You must be Phoebe. I'm looking for Chandler Bing."
"He's not here. Can I get a message?" Phoebe asked
"I'm Monica. I really need to talk to him. Do you know how can I talk to him right this very minute?"
"Aaah, Monica! The girl she met on the cruise. Well, I don't know how you can talk to him right THIS very minute."
"Do you have any idea where he is?"
"Yeah. Do you want me to bring you there? Oh wait, I have a client. Do you want me to give you the address?"
"Yes, please"
Phoebe got a paper and scribbled Nora Bing's beach house address.
"Thanks a lot Phoebe! I owe you big time!"
"No problem"
Monica pulled up in a big beach house. She knocked at the door and a butler answered it
"Hello Madam, how may I help you?"
"I need to talk to Chandler Bing"
"You can find him at the beach, I'll show you the way out there"
Monica found the way out, looking at the breathtaking beauty of the beach. She saw Chandler lying on the beach with his eyes closed.
"Chandler" Monica said softly
Chandler opened her eyes upon hearing the familiar voice. And there, he was not wrong, there was Monica.
"Monica," he replied with a broad smile.
"Chandler I like you" Monica said quickly. She was nervous on what he's going to say.
"What?! You do, really?!" Chandler asked in disbelief
"Yeah. I like you very much." Monica said, now nervous about Chandler's reply
"Uh… thank you, I guess" Chandler replied, Monica's smile fell, a little confused about his reply
"Is this feeling mutual?!" Monica asked
"I already gave you a letter before. This feeling is very mutual. And I know this is quite fast but I think I'm falling in love with you"
"Me too"
"But I think you're with Joey?"
"I ended it with him. I cant get through with him if I'm loving you"
"Mon, this is it"
"Huh?"
"Monica, will you be my girlfriend?"
"I am honored to be your girlfriend, Chandler" Monica said sincerely. Looking in his eyes, holding his hand and she let out a seductive sigh.
Chandler leaned forward and kissed Monica. She didn't kiss back. She let him kiss her little by little, as it grew more passionate. Chandler stopped kissing and looked at her sparkling blue eyes. She smiled at him. She leaned forward and kissed him. She kissed him little by little and sucked him bottom lip. Chandler kissed her back, more passionate and powerful this time. They're alone now. Alone in the beach.
Weeks passed and their relationship grew closer and closer and closer. Even Rachel and Phoebe became good friends. Monica and Phoebe became friends. They would hang out almost everyday at this coffee shop called Central Perk.
Monica and Chandler are there for each other whatever or whenever. They would be together during lunch breaks, breakfasts, or dinners.
One night at one of their romantic dinners
Monica was getting nervous. She needs to tell Chandler something.
"Chandler, can I ask you something?"
"Anything"
"Chandler, it's my parents' wedding anniversary next week. Can you come with me?"
"Sure, that's what boyfriends are for, right?" Chandler said with a broad smile and a wink
"I know I have you for a reason!!!" Monica said excitedly
"I love you"
"I love you too, Chandler"
"Monica, darling, and who is this man?" Judy Geller. Monica's mom, looked at Chandler skeptically.
"Chandler Bing, ma'am, Monica's boyfriend" Chandler said offering a hand to Judy. As Judy ignored his hand and didn't shake it.
"Are you really her boyfriend or just her date for tonight?" Judy asked bitterly
"Mom, he's my boyfriend, okay?" Monica said
"But you moved on really fast, what about Joey? His parents are here, but lucky for you and your boyfriend, he's not coming tonight."
"Chandler is my boyfriend. And he made me realize that I'm not right for Joey. And I love Chandler very much"
"Okay Monica, if you say so" Judy said bitterly as she walked away.
"My little Harmonica" Jack Geller, Monica's dad, said excitedly as he saw Monica and the guy she's with "And who is this guy?"
"He's my boyfriend, dad"
"Chandler Bing, sir" Chandler said extending a hand. Jack shook it.
"Call me Jack, Chandler"
"Thanks, Jack"
Monica has been distant to her mother ever since Ross died. Judy always blamed Monica for Ross's death. Jack, on the other hand thanked Monica. Because if it wasn't for her, they wouldn't know Ross had cancer. Monica didn't cause Ross's death. Cancer did. But deep down, Jack blamed Monica a little. But at least he's thankful that she still has a daughter. Judy has been critical of Monica. She criticize Monica's cooking, cleaning, love life, basically, she hates Monica. Even though Jack loved her daughter, Ross is obviously their favorite.
