CHAPTER TWO- Suspicions

Chandler felt his face growing hot. He put his head down, wishing he could turn back time and erase what Phoebe had just said. He looked up and saw that Monica was still staring at him; a smile tugging at her lips.

"Phoebe!" Joey said through clenched teeth. "You promised you wouldn't tell her!"

Monica's expression immediately changed. "You guys knew about this?" They all nodded hesitantly. "You all knew?"

She turned to Chandler. "So it's true, then?"

He nodded. "Yes, it's true,"

"Why didn't you tell me?" She demanded.

"Look, Mon…,"

"No, why?"

"Um, now is not really a good time to be discussing this…," He tried to point out.

She looked around and saw that their friends were still there, looking at them, and realized he was right. "I'm going to bed,"

"Are you mad?" Phoebe asked softly, easing the tension that had filled the room after Monica had left.

"No, I'm not mad, I just…," Chandler trailed off. "You know, I think I'm going to bed too," He said, taking this as the perfect excuse.

"But we didn't finish the game!" Joey whined. He shut up when Chandler gave him a look. "Fine, fine," He said as Chandler bolted upstairs.

"You think they're going to get together?" Rachel asked.

"God, I hope not," Phoebe responded. "Do you have any idea how weird that would be?"

"Was it weird when I went out with Rachel?" Ross asked.

"Um,"

"Don't answer that," Rachel responded, disgusted.

The three of them noticed that Joey hadn't said anything.

"Joey, what are you keeping from us?" Ross asked.

"Nothing,"

"JOEY?"

"Nothing, seriously," The lights flickered back on. "Hey, you guys want to play Monopoly?" They didn't respond. "Or something?"

"Joey, you are going to tell us what's going on right now," Phoebe threatened.

"I can't!" He exclaimed.

"Aha! I knew it!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Knew what?" Joey tried to defend himself.

"What is going on, Joe? We all know you're keeping something from us!" Ross exclaimed.

"Look…I…I just can't tell you, okay? I promised I wouldn't,"

"Promised who?" Phoebe wondered.

"Um,"

"Chandler, right?" Rachel wondered. "That's why you were so uncomfortable when he was in the room!"

"I wasn't uncomfortable!"

"Yeah, whatever," Phoebe exclaimed. "So, it's Chandler, right?"

"Yeah," Joey finally admitted. "But I can't tell you anything more,"

Meanwhile…

"Mon," Chandler said, catching up to her in the hallway. They heard their friends' voices below them, and she motioned they go into the room right next to them.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" Monica demanded almost immediately.

"Mon…,"

"No, seriously. When were you planning on telling me about this?"

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't tell you before London, because…because I knew you'd think I was stupid and immature, and I was sure you didn't want it too. And the reason I didn't tell you after London…well, I was afraid of losing you,"

"What?"

"Yeah. I was afraid you'd freak out and…and I don't know! It was stupid, okay? I'm sorry,"

"You know, if you had told me before London, we probably would have gotten together then,"

"Seriously?"

She nodded. "You're my best friend, Chandler. I can't say that I've never had feelings for you before London,"

"I love you so much, Mon,"

"I love you too," He leaned in and kissed her passionately.

"…so, this secret Chandler's got, does it have to do with work?" Ross asked.

"I can't tell you!"

"Come on, Joey!" Rachel exclaimed. "I'm a gossip! I gotta know these things!"

"Rach, I can't, okay? I can't and I won't,"

"Damn it," Phoebe exclaimed. "Try flirting with him," She whispered to Rachel.

"What?" Rachel hissed back.

"I'm serious. Take your top off,"

"Phoebe, are you nuts?"

Phoebe, seeing she wasn't going to give in, said, "Fine, fine, I'll do it,"
