Monica's Revenge
I hope you catches them, and that you tell me his opinions, through them I know if I'm on the right path.
Remember English is not my native language, I hope the translation is correct, check it, but sometimes I miss some incorrect personal pronouns for the phrase, sorry.
I reiterate, I do not own the characters of Friends I only rely on them for the pure pleasure of writing stories without any economic interest, and Monica and Chandler inspire me.
CHAPTER 2
Chandler arrived in Manhattan in early April….
He continued with physical therapy, although he had already regained mobility in his wrist, he needed a little more treatment to return to the racket with his usual ability.
A week after returning to the City, he began looking for a place to rent. He wanted something with two bedrooms, since one of them wanted to transform into a desk.
Shortly after starting his search he found one on Grove ST 19, it was very bright, it had the amenities he wanted, it was just a little old for his taste.
He continued with physical therapy, although he had already regained mobility in his wrist, he needed a little more treatment to return to the racket with his usual ability.
He turned to his mother to recommend someone to help him with the arrangements and where to find the right furniture. Nora gave him the information about Rita, a friend who was dedicated to that.
In a little less than a month he was ready to move, his nomadic life had not left him with much burden, except his clothes, books and his trophies, which made it an easy move.
Shortly after starting his search he found one on Grove ST 19, it was very bright, it had the amenities he wanted, it was just a little old for his taste.
A month after arriving in the City, Johnson told him that there was an opportunity at a club near the Village, so he went there to see the possibilities, and since one of the instructors was retiring, he could take charge of her students. The vacancy was to teach four classes during the morning on Mondays and Saturdays.
On the second Monday in May Chandler showed up at the Club, they showed him the court and the list of the names of that day's students.
For the second shift, a woman showed up, small, a beauty, who greeted him with a nice smile. She also had beautiful blue eyes, and although it seemed to him that he had seen those eyes before, he didn't remember where.
"Hello, good morning, I am your new instructor, my name is Chandler"
When Monica saw him she was paralyzed, he was exactly the handsome man they had seen in the cafe, God this was good luck!! she thought.
"Hello, I'm Monica Geller," she said now with a big smile.
"Geller? Chandler asked, are you related to Ross Geller?
"Yes, of course, he is my brother, do you know him?"
"Sure, we shared a room for almost two years at NYU, I even think I went to his house for Thanksgiving the first year" "Don't you remember me? I'm Chandler Bing, the one with the ridiculous hairdo"
Monica's joy disappeared, obviously, she thought, this is my brother's idiot friend who derogatorily called me fat…. How she was going to forget it.
"Yes, of course, now I remember you," said Monica, not so smiling anymore.
"I won't forget the macaroni and cheese you made me that day, you were very kind and they were delicious," Chandler responded with his seductive smile.
"Sure, we shared a room for almost two years at NYU, I even think I went to his house for Thanksgiving the first year" "Don't you remember me? I'm Chandler Bing, the one with the ridiculous hairdo"
"And Ross, how is he?… he lives here in Manhattan'…. "I haven't heard from him in years" Chandler asked.
Monica's joy disappeared, obviously, she thought, this is my brother's idiot friend who derogatorily called me fat…. How she was going to forget it.
Chandler walked away to a bench where he had left his bag, grabbed a pen and paper, and returned to Monica.
"Look, this is my phone number and address, please give it to Ross, I would really like to see it" Chandler gave the paper to Monica with a smile.
"Yes, of course, when I see it I'll give it to you"
"Shall we start class?" Monica said, barely smiling.
"Yes, right now"
Despite her resentment for what was said in the past, she had to admit that Chandler was an excellent instructor, and he was also very, very handsome.
When class ended Chandler said goodbye to Monica with a big smile saying
"It's good to see you again, you're good at this, see you on Saturday, and don't forget to give my information to Ross"
Despite her resentment for what was said in the past, she had to admit that Chandler was an excellent instructor, and he was also very, very handsome.
Monica walked the streets to her house remembering Chandler's words "your fat sister" and with every step her anger towards him increased. To make matters worse Rachel and Phoebe are working so she wouldn't see them until the afternoon.
That day to calm her anger against that idiot she cleaned the entire apartment that was already clean.
Rachel and Phoebe arrived almost at the same time.
"Mon, did you clean again?" Rachel asked.
"Yes, I'm furious," she reply.
What happened, come let's sit on the couch and tell us?
"Do you remember that today started with the new instructor?"
"Yes, and how are you?"
"First, he's the handsome guy we saw in the cafe, second, he lives across the street and he's the one who rented the naked man's apartment," Monica said angrily.
"But Mon, that's great, the guy is very cute, he's your instructor and he lives across the street, dating for sure" Phoebe said
"Dating sucks," Monica replied.
"What, is he married or is he gay?" Rachel asked.
"It's not, he is that idiot Chandler Bing"
"who? Rachel asked.
"Don't you remember, Ross's roommate, the one who came over on Thanksgiving and told Ross that I was the fat sister"
"Oh, is that the same guy? The one with the ridiculous hairstyle," Rachel said.
"The same one, who obviously only remembers that I made him macaroni and cheese, silly me" Monica replied.
"And you didn't tell him anything, neither before nor now," Phoebe said.
"No, it's not worth it, but the worst thing is that the next year Ross said he was going to come with him for Thanksgiving, I had already lost weight, I put on a dress that looked beautiful on me, well fitted, and with Rachel we had prepared a revenge, I would seduce him and when he was naked I would throw him out into the street for everyone to see" Monica explained.
"The same one, who obviously only remembers that I made him macaroni and cheese, silly me" Monica replied.
"The stupid guy didn't come, I honestly don't remember why, but he didn't come and I was never able to get revenge for his offense"
"And now he gave me his address and phone number so I could give it to Ross, the idiot wants to see it…"
"Mon, you still want revenge, because it's so, so cute," Phoebe said.
"Because of him, that insult is never forgotten, I can still throw him out on the street naked," Monica said and they all laughed.
Listen," Phoebe said, "that revenge could work at 17, now it has to be more sophisticated."
"And what would be the sophisticated revenge?" Rachel asked.
"Because of him, that insult is never forgotten, I can still throw him out on the street naked," Monica said and they all laughed.
"But he's going to take us time," said Monica.
"To prepare revenge you have to be patient," Phoebe answered with an enigmatic smile.
After the conversation and the decision made, the three went to Central Perk, Joey was already sitting on the couch, the girls greeted him and a short while later Ross entered.
Phoebe gave Monica a look for action.
"Ross, you don't know who my tennis instructor is now, Chandler Bing! Monica said with a smile and gave him the paper that Chandler had given her.
"Seriously, Chandler is in Manhattan taking tennis lessons? Ross said with a look of surprise and amazement.
"Why are you surprised?" Phoebe asked.
"We were roommates the first two years at NYU, he studied literature, but he was also the best on the tennis team, so they came to offer him to play professionally and he left the university, although he continued studying remotely, for a while we kept the contact, but I got married and he lived traveling, I know that he was ranked 49th in the ATP rating and never dropped below the top 100, how strange is it that he is here and being an instructor? …. I'm going to call him, I can't wait to see him"
"Did you know him, did he go home that first year for Thanksgiving? Ross said.
"Yes, I remember perfectly" was the only thing Monica answered.
"And it's great that he lives across the street, we can add him to the gang, he's the funniest guy
I've never met, he's very intelligent and has a lot of wit. "I'll call him tonight." Ross finished enthusiastically.
Joey looked at Ross with his eyebrows furrowed. "Now are you going to have a new friend?"
Everyone looked at Joey laughing and Rachel said, "Joey, what's wrong with you, you look like a jealous girlfriend."
Phoebe winked at Monica with a mischievous smile.
I've never met, he's very intelligent and has a lot of wit. "I'll call him tonight." Ross finished enthusiastically.
During dinner, each one told the other what had happened to his life.
"I don't know if you remember that I was dating Carol? Ross started.
"Carol? I don't remember, I do remember that you were crazy about Monica's friend, what was her name?"
"Rachel, well the story is long with her, at that time Rachel didn't even look at me so I moved on, I fell in love with Carol, another NYU classmate, we got married and a year later she realized she was a lesbian."
Chandler's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes friend, it was a hard blow, but by the time that happened she was pregnant, so we separated, but we had Ben, who is the most important thing in my life. Then Rachel, who had distanced herself somewhat from Monica, appeared again and this time she looked at me, we dated for just over a year, but we had a fight, although we are still friends"
"Were you able to remain friends?"
"It was difficult at first, especially for me, because I was very in love, but I tried to move on." And Ross continued.
"A month ago Rachel, who is stubbornly behind a customer of the store, a certain Joshua, asked us to release her from the commitment she had made to her boss to take a visiting English niece, to the opera"
"Rachel had an outing with Joshua, she asked us all to replace her, and the only one who was free was me, so I went out with Emily and it was great, that same night we went to Vermont for the weekend, that was a month ago and we continue the relationship, although it is complicated, she lives and works in London, so she travels on weekends"
"And you manage to keep the relationship at a distance? Because I couldn't," Chandler asked.
"We manage, we are really crazy about each other, I don't want to lose her, but I can't move to London, I have Ben and I can't leave him, so we'll see how things go"
"Rachel had an outing with Joshua, she asked us all to replace her, and the only one who was free was me, so I went out with Emily and it was great, that same night we went to Vermont for the weekend, that was a month ago and we continue the relationship, although it is complicated, she lives and works in London, so she travels on weekends"
"Well, since I started professional tennis I haven't stopped traveling around the country and the world, I just didn't know anything. I was dating a French girl for a little over a year, but she had a profession, she couldn't follow me around the world, so we broke up, I don't trust long-distance relationships, I couldn't make friends either, my colleagues were Competition not friendship, and I wasn't anywhere long enough to make friends."
"At the end of November last year during a match I fell and broke my wrist, it was a major break, they had to operate and I had 4 months to have a normal hand again and several more months to be in good condition to compete, and I decided to leave for professional tennis."
"Ross, there were many years of traveling, I was in hundreds of cities that I didn't know, more than the airport, the hotel and the stadium. I was tired of that life, I think the time I was stopped in recovery made me realize that I wanted to settle down in a place, live in a home, not in a hotel, have friends, maybe meet someone, I'm writing, so I want finish my novel and I have humorous notes that I present in several magazines to see if any of them are interested in publishing them."
"So here I am, let's say, starting my life!" Chandler concluded with a laugh.
And don't you miss that professional life?" Ross asked.
"Playing tennis is part of me, but I want to enjoy it with friends, teaching, not competing, and at the same time staying in shape, so I'm teaching twice a week, that's how I met your sister"
The conversation ran with memories of the times they were together and the lot of stupid things they had done at that time.
