Thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming.
The days passed by and fall slowly turned into a white winter. Time inched by as the leaves shook graciously from the bare trees. Winter was coming in fast and strong and there was nothing anyone could do about it. So people relished in its beauty.
Ross stayed steady throughout the rest of his first semester of his senior year of school. His grades were immaculate and he had made a new friend in a man named Chandler Bing. For winter break Chandler and Ross had decided to take a trip to Florida.
"Ready Bing!" Ross yelped tossing his blue duffle bag into the back of his silver jeep.
Chandler came running down the Geller's stairs from Monica's room. Monica and Chandler had grown intimate the first time they saw each other. Chandler thought it odd Ross hadn't figured anything out due to the fact that Monica and him hadn't exactly been sneaking around. In any case, Chandler preferred Ross not know, for his sake.
"Yo Bing . . . "
"Hey crack daddy." Chandler tapped on Ross' shoulder causing him to smack his head on the car ceiling.
"Chandler, what the hell. You scared the crap out of me." Ross whined, giving Chandler a swift shove on the shoulder.
"Ouch man, you know that's my bad shoulder." Chandler whined back, then reciprocated the action.
"God, you guys fight like girls. Give it up." Monica came bounding out, rolling her eyes.
"Isn't that an insult to you?" Chandler inquired shifting his eyes to Monica's trite gaze.
"Huh, I guess it is. Well then quit fighting like babies, it's embarrassing." Her words were sharp, yet light.
"Whatever, I have to go get the sun screen and we'll be outta here." Ross chanted as he strode into the house.
When Ross had disappeared, Chandler and Monica immediately began to show their love for one another. Chandler swooped her down and gave her sweet butterfly kisses. He went from her neck to her cheek, and finally he reached her lips. He laid a gentle kiss on her smooth mouth and proceeded to give the kiss more intensity until they were totally engulfed in each other.
"Wow. You're really going to miss me?" Monica spoke breathlessly after the heated smooch had ended.
Chandler cradled her hands in his and began kissing and stroking them tenderly. He couldn't get enough of her.
"Yes Miss Geller, I believe I am." Chandler returned the question with his best southern accent. Which wasn't very good.
Monica giggled and batted her eyes in some seductive tone. "Well Mr. Bing, I do believe I will miss you too." Monica retorted in her best southern accent. Which turned out to be very good.
Then she added very seriously. "Very much." She wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed heavily.
"Mon, it won't be that long of a trip. Only a few months." Monica playfully hit him in the ribs. "Oh sorry I meant a year." Chandler showed a crooked smile. She loved his smile. It warmed her heart tremendously.
"I know it's only two weeks. But I will miss you. I also hope you have a good time." Monica's voice turned serious. "But if I hear of any funny business going around, well Chandler Bing, let's just say your 'you know what's' won't feel very good at all."
"Well that's gotta be the understatement of the year." Chandler said, swallowing hard.
"Oh it's a definite understatement. See I have this machine . . . "
Chandler quickly put his hand to her lips softly. "Please, if you love me at all, you won't finish that sentence." Chandler's face was turning white.
"Wait, what did you say?" Monica looked hard at him.
"Basically I fear the wrath that can be taken out on the balls." Chandler's face softened a little with the mood changing phrase.
"No, not that. I mean the love thing. Do you love me?"
His face was completely pale by now.
"Wha, what? What? I said nothing of it." He was starting to sweat profusely.
"Yes, you said 'if you love me'. That means you love me. Because if you didn't, you of all people wouldn't have said that." Monica looked at Chandler sternly, pleading for a clear answer.
"Um, a, a, we have to go. It's time to go." Come on Ross get me out of here.
"Come on Chandler. I won't let you go without an answer."
Suddenly Ross came jumping out of his house. "See you mom and dad, love ya. I'll call when we get to the hotel." Ross called to his parents nonchalantly.
"Okay, sweetie, talk to you then. Drive carefully. I love you too." He heard his mother's faint voice. "Love you son." Then his father's and he shut the door.
"Ready buddy. We are going to have such a sweet time. I am stoked." Ross made some kind of hand gesture and threw the rest of the stuff inside the vehicle. "By Mon. Love ya."
Monica was too entranced in Chandler's unwillingness to say those three little words to pay attention to Ross.
"Yeah man great. Let's go." Monica looked at Chandler sadly. She was shaking and he could do nothing.
"By Mon . . . " She cut him off sharply.
"Yeah okay!" And that was it. Since Ross was still fiddling with something on the drivers side Chandler tried to calm Monica.
"Look Mon. It slipped. I am sorry. I don't know why you're so mad." Chandler's body language was frightened and nervous.
"Chandler, I love you. That's why. Don't you love me?" Monica looked eagerly into his eyes. Those painful, unrelenting eyes.
"I, I don't know." He was defeated. "I don't know," he said throwing down his arms.
"Fine, go. It's weird how love is so unpredictable. How one minute you think you know somebody or something. But in reality, you knew nothing. It was all an illusion. Something you dreamed up. Anyway, goodbye Chandler." She turned her back and walked with her head level to the ground.
"Mon . . . " Chandler called out once more. One last try. Honk, honk.
Useless.
"Lets go Chandler. I don't want it to be midnight before we arrive at the hotel. You know I don't drive well at night." Ross slumped inside the jeep and revved up the engine. "Haha! I love this car."
Chandler stood there not sure what to do. He didn't want to lose Monica, but he couldn't think right. Did he love her? With Ross' constant honking and Monica walking away, he felt alone.
So he went with Ross.
"Let's go, I guess. I need to clear my head." Ross stepped on the gas and sped off toward sunny Florida.
"Dude you okay? You look like you're going to throw up. Need to stop?" He did need to stop. But not because he was sick. But because he knew he couldn't live without Monica. Without seeing where this relationship could go.
"Yes I do. There's something I need to do."
Once Ross had halted the car, Chandler scurried out and began running down the street back to the Geller's house. His heart had taken over his entire body. He could not stop this feeling. He had never felt this way before. He was in love. Definitely in love. That unpredictable love.
Still running he called out her name, " Monica! I love you!" He didn't care who heard. He didn't care if Ross knew. At that time love was conquering his body. Love can make you do crazy things.
"Monica! I LOVE YOU!" He knew she heard him. He just loved yelling it.
She turned on her heal swiftly and looked at Chandler, shaking. They both stood there, neither having a definite expression on their faces.
They were only ten feet away from each other now. But neither could move for some reason. They were content with just starring intently at the other. Finally Chandler started slowly pacing over to Monica. He noticed when he greeted her that she had dark glasses on. So in turn he couldn't tell what emotions she was feeling.
He spoke with ease and from the heart. "Monica Geller, I love you so very much. I don't need time to think about it. I don't know what I was thinking when I said I needed to think about it. I don't want to think. I wanna follow my heart. And my heart wants you so badly." Chandler raised his hand and pulled off her glasses gently revealing her miraculous beauty. Her eyes were a beautiful texture of blue and green. She was crying softly, her heart racing.
"Mon, I love you," This time he whispered it, making the effect much more present.
"I love you too." And that was all they said. Chandler pulled her into the most passionate kiss either had ever experienced. This was a kiss that most people strived for. A once in a lifetime kiss. A kiss that would rival any kiss.
Seconds later the snow began to fall silently and softly. Monica and Chandler's kiss turned into a winter land bliss. Their moment had arrived. The connection was definite. Their hearts were fussed together.
The snow was cold, but their hearts were on fire. The kiss felt like it could last forever. Because forever was in that kiss. Forever was creeping unnoticed into their hearts.
But inevitably the kiss had to end. Chandler was the first to pull away. Their lips parted, but the moment would last a lifetime.
Suddenly they heard a faint voice. "Finally you too consummate your relationship. So I am happy for you. Now can we go." Ross' low voice grew louder and louder. He was sitting in his jeep starring at the lovebirds.
"What? You knew? How?" Monica asked baffled.
"Oh come on Monica. Give me some credit. Everyone knows. Besides I live with you. It's not like I don't see and here things." Ross put up a disgusted expression and shook his body from the weird thought of Chandler and his baby sister.
"And you're okay with it." This time Ross exited his car, still leaving it running.
"Okay with it. I am great with it. I mean at first I was quite angry. But Rachel and I talked about it and she showed me that you guys are a great couple. Besides whom else but my best friend would be better for my sister?"
They all thought about this for a moment. That was a very true statement.
"Now can we please go! I am getting cold." Ross hustled back to the car and jumped in, rubbing his hands together for warmth.
"Yeah, we can go. By Mon. I love you. I'll call you later tonight." With that he kissed her lightly on the lips and walked toward the car.
Once inside Monica called out, "I love you too, Chandler Bing. Have fun." He smiled wholeheartedly and waved goodbye and that was it. Life was changing for the better for Chandler Bing and Monica Geller.
Now it was time for Rachel and Ross to hop on the ride.
To Be Continued . . .
I know this is mainly Monica and Chandler, but I wanted to kind of get their relationship out of the way. There will be a lot more Ross and Rachel to come. But don't worry Mondler fans, there will be spurts of Monica and Chandler also. And I might possibly put Phoebe and Joey into the story.
