Rachel walked into the apartment calling for Monica but there was no answer. Her immediate thought was 'Maybe she's somewhere with Chandler' but she shrugged it off, not believing that Monica would give in and risk losing the bet. She was, after all, MONICA for crying out loud. As she went to get herself a diet coke from the fridge, she noticed a note on the table. Picking it up she read aloud ''Rach, I guess I forgot to tell you that I'm going to this really cool chef convention in New Jersey. So that's where I am. I'll be back in a couple of days. Love ya, Mon.''

Getting suspicious, she went across the hall to Joey's apartment. Seeing him sitting in his barcalounger, watching TV she asked, ''Is Chandler here?''

''No, he's at some conference in... I don't remember... Anyway, he left a note, though,'' he answered, gesturing to the note on the counter. She picked it up and read aloud again ''Joe, I have to fill in for a colleague at a conference in Jersey. I'll have to stay there for a couple days. Say 'hi' to the other's from me. Chandler.''

''You've got to be kidding me,'' Rachel mumbled.

''What's that?'' Joey asked.

''I just found a note from Monica, saying she's in Jersey at some chef thing.''

''Okay,'' Joey answered, not thinking much of it.

''Joe, honey.. Think,'' Rachel said annoyed.

''Huh? Hm.. Well.. Oh my god! They lied!'' He exclaimed, shocked. The last time he was that shocked was when he found out about them.

''There 'ya go!''

''Well, what do we do now?''

''Here's the plan..''

Meanwhile, in Montauk Chandler pulled up the Porsche in front of the house he had rented.

''Wait right here, babe, I'll be right back,'' he whispered into Monica's ear as she opened her eyes. She had fallen asleep halfway through the ride since it was nighttime by now. She nodded and smiled when Chandler softly kissed her on the lips.

As Chandler carried their bags into the house, though stumbling and crashing into things the whole time Monica watched him from the car, laughing slightly at his clumsiness that she found to be incredibely adorable by now.

Soon, Chandler jogged out of the house and opened the door for Monica. As she got out of the car, Chandler picked her up in one swift motion, making her squeal.

''What are you doing?'' she asked in surprise.

''Carrying my beautiful girl into the house like a gentleman should,'' he smiled.

''I like that!''

When they got into the house, Monica still in Chandler's arms, he asked, ''Wanna take a look around? Or go into the backyard? There's a pool,'' he winked at her.

''Backyard. Definetely backyard,'' she stated.

''Alrighty!''

''Wait! Shouldn't we get some swimming clothes first?'' Monica asked when they got outside.

''Nah..'' He said and started running towards the pool.

She screamed when he jumped into the water with her still in his arms. When they came back up, Monica hit him lightly, faking anger.

''What the hell-'' He cut her off by kissing her. After a couple of seconds she started to kiss back, making Chandler smile against her lips. He pulled her closer to him, which in turn made her smile and run her fingers through his hair and cupping his face in her hands. The kiss grew deeper and deeper by the second. Suddenly, Chandler started laughing to himself. ''What's so funny?'' she asked, pulling away a bit.

''Nothing''

''Tell me, baby,'' she said kissing him.

''I don't think I should do it..''

''Do what?'' After she got no response she whispered in his ear, ''Do it.''

''If you say so,'' he smiled and threw her across the pool, making her scream. He dove right after her and came up in front of her, smiling innocently.

''If I hadn't missed you so much you'd probably be dead meat by now,'' she laughed. First, he laughed as well but then he got serious.

''What's wrong?'' Monica asked concerned.

''Promise me something?''

''Anything,'' she said in a serious tone.

''I got to know what my life would be like without you the last couple of days. Please don't do that to me. I couldn't live without you. Please. Please never leave me, Monica. I love you way too much,'' he told her with tears in his eyes. Monica who had tears rolling down her face by now kissed him soundly.

''I'll never leave you, Chandler, I promise. I was the one who couldn't pull through with the bet, remember? I called you to that hotel and started e-mailing you. What makes you think I could ever live without you? Can you do me one favor though?'' she asked, crying freely now.

''For you, the world,'' he answered, tears running down his cheeks now, too.

''Stop thinking about things like that,'' she said, wiping away his tears with her thumbs and cupping his face in her hands. ''You're perfect! I wake up every morning, thinking how lucky I am to have you. It hurts me so much when you think so low of yourself because you really are the most wonderful and amazing man I have ever met. You don't have to worry for a second. Ever. I'm yours forever, Chandler. As long as you're here by my side. I have everything I need. I love you, baby,'' she said.

''I love you, too. Always,'' he said kissing her.

Suddenly, Monica's cell phone rang. She swam over to the edge of the pool to pick it up, Chandler watching her.

''Hello? Oh, hey Rach! It's great, I've always wanted to go there. Yeah, he told me he was going. He called me some time this afternoon, why? Oh, alright, well maybe it's a good way to finish this week. Seeing him makes me want to get closer and.. you know.. It's your fault after all. You wanted this damn bet. Uhuh.. Ok, well I gotta go. See ya, Rach. Bye,'' Monica laid down the phone, turning to Chandler.

''Oh oh..''

''What is it?'' he asked.

''They know.''
