A/N: So, here's the next chapter, guys! Thank you for the reviews. Please see the first chapter for details on the the way in this fic, they're in college but they're not staying in dormitories. They still live with their families, as that's how this fic's gonna work. I know it's customary in the U.S. for college students to move out but I kinda followed the culture here in my country. They're both wealthy and I figured they would be brought to and from school with their own car or with a driver.

The One With Secret Admirer Chapter 2

BING HOUSEHOLD

Later that night:

Chandler couldn't sleep, he kept thinking about the day he had with Monica. Well it wasn'tconventional and it definitely wasn't a date. What a crazy day. She didn't even want to talk to him! What he is happy about though was the fact that she now at least noticed her. And he got to see her beautiful blue eyes up-close, which he already admired from a far. She is very beautiful, and he may seem like a jerk, but he liked annoying her. "Well, annoying her wasn't the first plan, but I guess she's just not a fan of my approach. I was just trying to make her smile." He thought to himself. Chandler is a good person and he just really is naturally fun-loving. Since he was a kid, he developed this sense of humor as a tool to cope up with everything around him. He may seem childish but he's mature enough to understand that life isn't a walk in a park. Having a cheerful attitude around others helped him get off his mind what has been haunting him for years. People see him as that annoying guy who likes to play jokes but what they don't know that when he's home and alone, everything he holds a grudge. It really is true. The people who are shallow when it comes to finding something funny are the ones who are depressed and hurting deep inside. He is just relieved that he still has people in his life that he is thankful for One is his brother Charlie, his sister Hannah and of course; Monica. She doesn't realize how much of an inspiration she is to her.

Chandler was going into the backyard and saw his brother sitting by the pool. His brother immediately recognized his presence and greeted him. "Hey Chandler" His big brother greeted him. "Hi Charlie" He replied then just sat beside him. Chandler was busy tapping his feet on the water when his brother broke the silence. "So, how did it go with this girl you can't stop talking to me about." He asked eagerly. "Oh you know, we're engaged, we couldn't be happier. She's the love of my life and she also couldn't live without me. We're moving in together tomorrow. I guess the ChanChan-man's charm never fails with the ladies. "Chandler said with a smirk."Ok, yeah you're a dork! Now tell me what really happened." Yeah, he's brother doesn't play along with him. "Fine, you got me. Well, today was amazing; I finally have an excuse to be with her every day! I'm maintaining the library with her for the rest of the semester." He said excitedly. "I guess it's nice but wait, what'd you have to do with the library? Did you get in trouble?" Chandler just chuckled a little. "Well, sort of, it's kind of a long story. Well, you know I brought her flowers, then I kept asking her to talk to me, but she won't notice me. Then there was a book fight, a kick on my foot, butting of heads, which explains this by the way-" He said while pointing at the small bump on his forehead. "-and also a lot of screaming" "Oh my God, what did you do? This may be getting out of hand bro." He said in a serious tone.

"It's not as worse as it sounds, you know I mean well! Everything is going well until she went all crazy." Chandler defended himself. "Okay, let me see, you are trying to make this girl fall in love with you, right?" "That's exactly what it is, Sir." Chandler nodded. "And, the way to do that is to piss her off, and gradually make her hate you. You're really something huh." His brother shook his head and laughed. "I'm trying to make her understand that I am one hell of a guy! I just wanna make her happy, and you know I do that with my jokes, which she has no idea that she loves by the way. She'll see some day that aside from my irresistible good looks, I'm just a sensitive and caring guy, who's just hopeless and awkward and desperate for love!" Chandler went on. "I know you're a good guy and good luck with her man, but maybe less on the jokes." Charlie tapped his shoulder. "Hey, I got to be with her because of my methods. And what I didn't tell you is that she's answering my notes already, see, we're already having a connection." Chandler said proudly. "Oh I totally forgot about the post-it notes man. Wow, you're really dedicated. Wait, can you freshen up my memory a bit, how did this thing with that girl start again?" His brother asked. "Oh someone's really getting old-" Charlie glared at his brother.

"Fine. Fine. It all started two semesters ago. She really wasn't the girl I was trying to send notes with. I was actually planning on giving out notes to this girl I've liked for a while, the name's Janice. I asked someone about her locker number then I snack up and slipped my yellow note on that locker. I waited a little for her to go over and check it but turned out, I got the wrong locker. Monica, that's her name, was the one who checked the note and man was she was pretty. You know, that Janice girl was way into her looks then I just realized I did not want that. I liked Monica because she was simple, she was very shy. I could tell by the looks she made when she saw that note. She doesn't realize how beautiful she is, and I could also sense that she really is a good person. When I saw her that day, I immediately noticed the sad look in her eyes. She was hurting too, then suddenly she held out this cutest little laugh and I can't help but smile. It seemed like I brought her out of her sadness even just for a few moments with my joke. That's when I knew I had to make her laugh every day. Then, I asked some people here and there, and I got her name. I was fine with just being her funny post-it guy, but then we ended up being classmates in Chemistry last term. I made sure that I was in my best attitude and she reluctantly agreed to be my lab partner, but then she remained very reserved. She did not talk to me unless it's about the course. So fast forward and here I am, that annoying guy Chandler." Chandler ended with a slight smile. "I guess you're really falling hard for this girl. Just don't get your hopes up too much man." Charlie gave his little brother a sincere advice. "Hey, I know where I stand, but thanks bro!" They hugged it out. "Hey, by the way Mom called, they'll be back in two weeks." Charlie added.

Chandler suddenly choked on himself. "Will Dad be here too?" He asked. "Of course he is, you know they always go together." said Charlie. "Man, it's been almost half a year, I even forgot that they live here." Chandler was suddenly feeling anxious. His parents left for London about 5 months ago as they needed sometime for some business expansion thing. Nora took the chance to write her new novel and do book signings too. They lived there temporarily and his parents did not leave with them being on good terms with him. Chandler finally had enough, and vented out all his resentment towards his parents. He told them how he was feeling left out and unwanted all these years. Heck, they even gave him a middle name for a girl! He brought out all his frustrations on how they did not support him and how he never really felt their love for him. Sure, his mom was more caring and more present in his life, but his dad was the worst. He went to his swim meets, recitals and all that other firsts stuff, but it felt forced. They never talked just the two of them, and he never really hugged his father. He wondered if his father even dared to hold him when he was just a little baby. He just can't understand why it was the case. All he ever wanted was to have a real connection with his dad. Even though his father treats him that way, he can truly say that he loves his father. He just needed for him to love him back. Chandler slept that night with a heavy heart.

A few days later at the Dean's office:

"So, I see that you did a good job with the library, Miss Heckles said that she has never seen the books so orderly, and even clean from dust. You seemed to enjoy yourself." The dean started. "I might have something to do with that." Monica shyly replied. At least she had fun cleaning. "Yes, Sir, she's really strict when it comes to the spots, you know I think the books looked five years younger from the makeover she gave." Chandler joked. Monica made an annoyed face at Chandler and he just smiled at her with a scrunched nose.

"Okay, thanks for the work you did, but I'm afraid that you'll have to continue organizing the library. I told you it's for a semester right?" The dean answered.
"But Sir, there's nothing left to organize!" Chandler replied.
"This is a University right? We have four other libraries in other colleges. We can set you right up with them. That is, unless you want us to notify your parents." The dean threatened. "What time to tomorrow, sir?" Chandler answered with a determined face. "We'll follow the same schedule; I guess you'll be working first at the Liberal Arts Library. Okay, remember, I want you to continue the good job you did with the Business and Economics library" "Oh Sir, you can count on that, we'll do a very good job, right Monica?" He said teasingly. Monica just stared at him.

"Oh God, why should this happen to me? Every day with Chandler, now the worst has happened." Monica thought with a sigh.

"I'm so excited, more time with Monica, more time with Monica! I can finally get to know her better!" Chandler was very excited.

The next day

Chandler entered the library looking out for Monica. He smiled when he saw her already hard at work with the first pile of books. She was sitting and wiping away dust from old novels. "Target spotted." Chandler whispered. He then walked towards her and took a seat. "Hey, whatcha doing?"He said flashing out his foolish grin. Monica just continued what she was doing. "Still not done with disregarding my premium existence, eh?" He said. "You know one day, you'll have to talk to me, and I'm gonna be the one who's blocking you off." He continued. Chandler then blew some dust off a book, which made Monica cough a little. She stroked her hair to the side which revealed the bruise she had from her mother. Chandler was staring intently at her and he noticed it. "Oh my God! Monica, who did that to you?! You have a bruise on your face! Tell me, and I'll kick that person's ass!" Chandler was really worried. Someone hurt the woman he cares for, the one girl he's learning to love. "Tell me Monica, for the love God, tell me!" Monica stood up and covered her face. She was welling up, so she decided to run for it. "No one should know." She thought.

Chandler chased after her, but she was really fast. He lost her and can't find her anywhere. He kept looking and looking, not minding the fact that he was cutting a class with a very important oral recitation. Monica is more important to him, and now with this very serious matter, he needed to find her, he needs to know. After searching almost everywhere, he went to one of the quietest place in the campus, the small park. He brought out a sigh of relief when he saw her. She was sitting on the bench, with her face buried on her hands, crying. "Monica." He said. His face was all tensed up, and he can't help but feel sad that she is hurting, and at the same time; he was very mad at the person who did this to her. Monica wanted out but he stopped her. Chandler took all of his courage and hugged Monica from behind. When he felt that she was relaxing a bit, he went on to face her, and continued hugging her. He hugged her as if he wanted to protect her from all the dangers of the world, wanting to reassure her that everything will be fine. Monica was surprised at herself, she was hugging Chandler. But, that was the least of her worries. She didn't realize she needed one, and add to the fact that she had been keeping all the misery on her own for so long.

Monica wanted to let go, but Chandler suddenly spoke. "I know you don't want to talk about it, especially with me. But still, I want to let you know that you do not deserve this, heck no one deserves this. The person who did this to you is a horrible, horrible human being. I want you to know that I'm here for you, if you give me a chance to show you how much I care. You can talk to me about anything. But now, if you want to keep silent, I'll let you be. I feel that you're communicating with me through your heart anyway. I think, words spoken by the heart are more valuable than words spoken by the mouth. I feel your pain Monica, I understand it, I really do. More than you believe. I want to thank you for allowing me to comfort you in my little way, and I want to tell you that I mean well. I just, I just don't want to see you sad." Chandler told her in his sweetest tone. Monica just remained still, but her heart was fluttering. She always saw Chandler as just a crazy guy who likes to make jokes and follow her around. He even thought he was insensitive and a jerk. But this was a whole different Chandler; he is so sweet, caring and sensitive. She also feels his sincerity. Maybe they could be friends. It felt good to have someone care for her during her bad times. Well, there's her secret admirer who she has now been answering to with red-post it notes. He's sweet too.
