Title: Tarantulas, Bees and nosy neighbours

Author: pinkholyone

'Mmm this is nice' Monica said as she snuggled deeper into Johns embrace

After their disasters first date the two had thought it would be a good idea to stay in and watch a movie, John had chosen White Noise a scary film (only because he thought she would cuddle up to him at the jumpy buts!). so now they had been watching the film for over an hour John was squished in the left corner with Monica right virtually on top of him but he wasn't complaining.

'Ye it is' he took a deep breath smelling her hair

The film had just got to its worst but, the noises were loud any moment now…'BANG BANG BANG' they both jumped back on the couch, Monica screamed and the couch went with them Monica's foot caught the coffee table sending magazines, chocolates and wine everywhere

'Uh I'll get it why don't you clear up?' Monica picked her self off the floor and went to get the front door

She swung it open to reveal Mrs Smith the elderly woman who had seen their previous 'incident'

'Oh hello dear is every thing ok? I just popped by to ask if you had seen a tarantula?' Mrs Smith already had her head in the doorway peeking around at the mess with raised eyebrows.

'Tarantula?' Monica asked looking down at the floor with a scared look on her face

'Yes dear, I have my grandson staying and he seems to have… um…well miss placed it' she answered in an apologetic tone

'No…no I haven't seen one but if I do I'll be sure to let you know' Monica was already closing the door on her eager to get back to John

'Sorry about her you know how nosy she is, I doubt there even is a tarantula she just wants to know what I'm up to' Monica bent down to pick up the chocolates while John mopped the wooden floor

'It's ok, its getting kind of late any way maybe I should go?' he said setting the map back and going to his coat

'Oh do you have to? Its only 9.30…. well why don't you stay the night?' Monica had her hands on the collar of his shirt and was talking in a seductive voice

'Hum I think I will just do that' John was already pulling her toward the bedroom

NEXT MORNING

Monica woke as the sunlight streamed violently through the open curtains and to the ticklish feeling going up her leg

'Umm that feels nice' she said not yet opening her eyes

'What?' came the distant voice of John obviously in another room

With that her eyes darted open and she slowly lifted the covers to reveal a MASSIVE tarantula making its way past her knee, no woman has ever screamed louder than Monica did then she sprang from the bed causing the poor creature to lose its hold and bounce in the bed

'What's going on' John came speeding into the room and skidded to a stop when he saw what was on the bed but his face went white as a sheet when he saw what was out the window, there on a Crain at the exact height and distance to have a perfect view in to Monica's bed room window was a cable guy with the biggest grin in the world at seeing Monica's nakedness

Seeing John's attention was diverted out the window she spun around to come face to face with the extremely happy cable guy

'Oh NO!' she muttered as she ran into the bath room

Half an hour later things had calmed down and the tarantula was in its proper home

'God what is going on with us lately?' Monica's face was in her hands and John was stroking her hair as they sat on the couch

'Don't worry things will be ok, I just have to nip out for a bit will you be ok?' Monica only nodded in response

10 minutes later there was a knock at the door, now fully dressed Monica rushed to the door knowing who it would be

'Hey I was wondering where you were….' She stopped when she had a bunch of red roses in her face 'Oh John there beautiful' she said leaning in to take a whiff but as she did so she aggravated an angry bee that had been sleeping in there causing it to come to life, Monica sprang back in surprise but soon started running around her apartment waving her hands frantically in the air to try and get rid of it.

'Don't panic! Don't panic' John said chasing after her and the angry bee but Monica did not see the bit of rug sticking up and went head over heels her shirt getting caught on the way and popped straight open and John laded on top of her so they were chest to chest and with all the fuss the bee had lost interest and flown out of the window.

'Oh this day couldn't get much worse' Monica muttered

'Err are we interrupting anything?' both heads wiped to the open door way seeing Dana, Mulder, Skinner and Brad standing there two with grins and two with open mouths.

'This is not what it looks like' John said while helping Monica up, but she didn't not look pleased at his words

'So your saying you wouldn't ever want to be with me?' she said teary eyed, she spun round and went straight into the bedroom

'I'll go after her' Dana said making her way though the small apartment

'Hey what's wrong?' Dana looked concerned as she sat her self on the bed next to Monica

Monica sniffed, stood up and had her back to Dana 'Its just… nothings going right and..' she stopped when she heard giggling 'Oh so you think this is funny do you?' she was angry now

'No not at all its just you have a post it on you ass saying 'PROPERTY OF JOHN DOGGETT' it must have come off the folder on the floor our there' Dana said peeling it off and waving it in front of Monica

'Oh I HOPE this day gets better' she muttered 'can you ask John to come in please?'

'Sure' Dana headed out the door and was soon replaced by John

'Hey' he greeted and Monica ran to his arms 'I'm sorry' she said against his shoulder

'It's ok I'd forgive you for anything' he held her tighter 'how about we go out there and tell them that the roomers are true? And they ARE interrupting' he tugged her back into the living room area holding onto her hand tight
