The One With The Secret Admirer Chapter 5
A/N: Hi guys! Happy New Year! Sorry it took me the next year to update. Thanks for all your wonderful reviews! :D I already planned out how this series will go, so all that's left to do is write them! I'm sorry this chapter is significantly shorter than the first four ones. The next one will be much much longer to make up for this. And I'm working on it ;)
Monica arrived at her house that morning and she slowly crept inside. It was already 10 AM and her whole family is expected to be already out to their daily schedules. She was relieved to confirm that Judy wasn't home, because otherwise; she and her will have a little talk. She got up to her room and had a quick shower. She changed into her home clothes and within minutes she was cuddled up in her bed.
Chandler pulled over their garage and went straight to his room. He can't believe he just spent the night with Monica. He's upset though because he messed everything up. He needs to find a way for Monica to forgive him. He laid down on his bed with a heavy sigh.
GELLER HOUSEHOLD
It was late afternoon. Monica did not bother to attend classes anymore because she isn't feeling well. Her nose was red from all the sneezing she made the whole day. All the stress has caught up on her and now her temperature's burning up. "Monica, can I come in?" Ross asked while knocking on her door. He saw her under two layers of blankets hugging herself. "Hey, you didn't go home last night, did you? Are you sick?" He said as he felt her forehead. "Yeah, it's a long story. Did mom notice? Oh and yeah I got this stupid flu." she said weakly. "I don't think so. She got up to her room immediately when she arrived yesterday. When she asked where you are, I told her you were in your room and sick, which turned out to be true. It's a good thing she didn't check on you, though. And wait there, I'll get you medicine. You should drink lots of water!" Ross said before kissing her forehead and heading out.
After a few minutes Ross found Monica already sitting on her bed laying out what seem to be a good number of post-it notes. When Monica noticed Ross, she scrambled to cover up what she has been doing. "What's that?" Ross said as he laid the glass of water on the side table. "Oh, nothing. Something you wouldn't take interest in." she replied. "Oh come one, you can share it with me. I'm your brother. And that seemed to be really important, I saw you smile from ear-to-ear." Ross persuaded her. "Oh okay, but this is a girl's thing. Well, not that kind of thing!" She said as he saw her making his 'What? Ew!' face. "Okay." He said. "Ummm, so I have been receiving this yellow notes from someone these past few months; sort of a secret admirer. He's been sending me pun jokes and lately we talk about other stuff too, just things under the sun. And, I just keep it for remembrance. I also get to organize them according to the date, length and the topic!" She narrated. "Are you falling in love with this guy?" Ross asked her. "I'm beginning to like him. You know, I feel like he's becoming my friend. He's so sweet and funny. I just wish I could meet him!" Monica said in pure admiration. "Well, I'm glad that someone's making you happy lately. You should be very careful though; this guy may seem to be sweet and funny but you don't know if at the end of a day he's a criminal! This may be a creep or a psychopath who will soon grab you and put you in an underground dungeon, you wouldn't want that right?" he blabbed on. "First of all; Ross, save your weird fantasies for your creative essays. And also, of course I'm careful! Besides, I already had encounters with a creep and I know how to deal with them." Monica said. "Really? Who's this creep? I'll kick his ass if you just give me the word!" Ross exclaimed. "Ok, calm down. Well, he hasn't done anything breaking the law to me but he's constantly bugging me with his crazy antics. He always follows me around and makes all these inappropriate jokes. Although, there are times when he stops and just becomes a regular person who is sensitive enough to talk too. Still, I hate him because just as my secret admirer makes my day, he makes it worse! He seems to always bring me into trouble!" Monica remarked. "What's this guy's name anyway? Didn't you also have a quirky lab partner last term?" Ross asked. "Chandler Bing. He's that lab partner. It turns out he isn't just quirky. He's crazy and acts like a monkey too." Monica explained which made Ross chuckle. "Wait, isn't he related to Charles Bing? You know the hotel and restaurant tycoon? And I also think that there's a junior in my school who's surname is also Bing." he questioned. "No idea if he has a sibling. Maybe he's related to the famous Bing; a lot of people know him at campus." she said. "Okay. Just be careful with this post-it note guy and Chandler Bing. I don't want you to get hurt in any way. Now you go rest. I love you, Sis." Ross said before closing the door. "Love you too, Ross." Monica said with a smile. As soon as Ross left, she continued arranging the notes and kept thinking dreamily of her sweet notes guy. She was too relaxed that she fell asleep holding on to them.
FEW DAYS LATER
Chandler thought it was the best for him to not bother Monica for a while, since she seemed to reach her breaking point with what has happened with them. He continued sending jokes to her though because he can't resist having a constant connection with her. He would continue to go early in the morning to her locker and slip his pun jokes inside. Monica would put her replies on the locker but they weren't there when he checked. It had been three days after the stint at the library and Chandler wondered why he wasn't getting any replies. "I wonder where she is."
He went to the library to check if Monica was there. "Good afternoon, Ma'am! Did Monica come by already?" Chandler asked the lady behind the counter. "Oh she hasn't, she called yesterday that she won't be coming in for a few days." she said. "Oh okay, thanks." Chandler responded.
Chandler was walking around when he saw two snotty girls who seemed familiar. 'Wait, they're Monica's group mates. Maybe they know where she is." he thought. "Hey girls." Chandler greeted as he approached them. "Oh my gosh, Pheebs! Chandler Bing!" Rachel whispered excitedly to Phoebe. "Umm, Hi, Chand-le-er" Phoebe said in a seductive tone. "Yeah yeah yeah, umm do you know where Monica is? I've been looking everywhere for her." Chandler asked enthusiastically. "Umm no. Why would we know where she is? And you approached us just to ask about that boring girl, Monica?!" Rachel responded not hiding her frustration. "Uh, yes? And Monica's not boring! She's quiet but not boring." Chandler said. "Oooh, I bet Monica put out that night and he wants more!" Phoebe said to Rachel with a smirk. "Huh, who would've thought that pure Monica has a dirty little secret?" Rachel responded. Chandler heard them and he couldn't resist his anger at the accusations they're making about Monica. "I'm still here! And you two shut up! Monica's not that kind of a lady! Nothing like that happened between us that night. She's a respectable lady, unlike some people I know!" Chandler shouted. "How dare you?!" Rachel and Phoebe exclaimed simultaneously. "Why, are you guilty?" Chandler told them before leaving. Rachel and Phoebe were left with gasps of disbelief.
"Okay, she's at home. Maybe she's sick. Oh God, I need to see if she's okay. And tell her I'm very sorry. At home. House. Address. I need to know her address! Ahh! I know where to go!" Chandler thought.
A/N: What will Chandler do? Watch out for the next chapter :)
