Monica's Revenge
I hope you catch them, and that you tell me your 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 7
At the end of dinner, Chandler accompanied his mother to her apartment.
"Come up for a moment and we'll have something," said Nora.
"Mom, it's late," Chandler replied.
"Do you have to work tomorrow? Come on we have to talk."
Nora handed Chandler a beer and she poured herself a whiskey. "Well, talk, tell me what's going on with Monica, and don't tell me anything, I know you and I saw her, something is going on between you and I'm not going to let you go until you tell me."
Chandler knew that his mother was pushy, but he also listened to her advice, especially about relationships, she was intuitive and wise about it.
Chandler told her in detail what happened, about his love, what Ross and Phoebe told him over and over again, that she loves him, that they don't get lost.
"Chandler, neither I nor your father have been an example of a couple, there was simply, never a couple was there and even less love, but when what there is deep love, when your heart hurts when it doesn't go away from your head, you can't do it discard due to a mistake that one of the couple has made. Son, I understand that the "joke" made just before you revealed your feelings hurt you, but that pain, that offense, was not so irreparable since it did not end the love, it was a silly joke, but she did not know what how deep is your phobia, I'm sure that if she had known, she wouldn't have gone ahead with it. And on the other hand, your annoyance was not so much, since, I repeat, your love for her is still intact. She suffers and you suffer, they are losing time to be happy, to enjoy that love. Take advantage of the fact that you are here, far from home, and talk to her, forgive her"
Chandler gave her a sweet smile, "Thank you, I promise to do it as soon as possible."
On the other hand, the girls stayed for a while talking in the hotel bar.
"Chandler's mom is very funny and smart," Phoebe said.
"Yes, I admire her, it made me happy to meet her, she gave me joy in the midst of all this drama," Rachel answered.
Monica and Phoebe looked at her strangely at the answer.
"Why do you say "this drama"? Phoebe asked.
"Oh, god, I didn't say it before, first because I didn't realize what I felt, then because I didn't know how to do it... I realized that I'm still in love with Ross, very much in love, and this marriage is killing me, I'm thinking "to tell him what I feel," Rachel explained.
"NO," Monica jumped out of her chair, "Rachel, Ross loves Emily, they are getting married in two days, you can't do that to him, it took him a lot to get over you, now he's in love, it's too late."
"But I don't hurt him by telling him how I feel, people like to be told they love" Rachel replied.
"Yes, but you're going to confuse him right now, he was after you for more than a year, and you made it clear to him, in various ways, that it was over" Monica said angrily.
Rachel looked at Phoebe, asking for help.
"Rachel, we all knew you still loved him, even when you were ridiculously pursuing Joshua, and especially when Ross announced his marriage your face turned white. But as Monica says, it's too late, he fell in love with Emily, you will have to turn the page, this time seriously and definitively" that was Phoebe's advice.
The three of them went to the rooms, one was shared by Rachel with Phoebe and in another Monica was alone.
The next day was a complete uproar, the chapel chosen by Emily was being destroyed, which almost caused a definitive suspension of the wedding. Monica and Ross did their best to fix it and Emily was pleased with the result.
Monica was tired from the hustle and bustle of the day, but after a shower and a rest she was as good as new. It was time to go to the rehearsal dinner.
During dinner, Chandler couldn't help but hear her mother's constant criticism of Monica. He had just met her and already hated her. The father seemed nicer, but in his place he would have already put a muzzle in his wife's mouth.
Chandler was so worried about Monica, he wanted to drag her out of that room and free her from that witch, which made him not pay much attention to what he would say in his speech, which was a disaster.
Monica went to the bar for a drink, Chandler approached her, he was embarrassed by her speech and worried about her.
"Are you OK? ask him
"No, my mother drives me crazy, of course you don't know her, she's always like that," said Monica.
"I didn't know, she's your mother or she's your stepmother? Chandler asked.
Monica looked at him and laughed, "Even though you may not believe it, she is my mother"
"I don't understand what happens to her, why is it like that? Chandler commented.
"Ross is her favorite, all her life, and all her life it was me who she chose to criticize, nothing I do is enough for her," Monica said while she drank another drink.
"Don't drink so much, it could hurt you, and tomorrow is the ceremony" Chandler told her.
"Who cares if it does me wrong, or how I look tomorrow, she'll still criticize me," said Monica.
"I care a lot, I don't want you to get sick, and I also want you to look more beautiful than the bride tomorrow," Chandler said with a beautiful smile.
Monica's eyes filled with tears and began to run down her cheek.
"Mon what's going on?"
"I need to apologize"
"No, not now, not here," Chandler replied.
"Yes now and right here, I should have done it before, I just didn't know if you would want to listen to me, I know what I did was horrible, I hurt you, but I swear it wasn't my intention…. Well, maybe the day we met again and I realized who you were, that day I thought about getting revenge, but then your look, your smile, the way you treated me, the way you talk and think about certain things made me fall in love with you, and the idea of revenge left my mind, but the girls kept going, I didn't know how to stop them, according to them it would be just a joke, I was afraid that you would get angry like you did and I would end up losing you," Monica explained without stopping cry.
"First, don't cry anymore, I don't like seeing you cry," Chandler said, looking at her sweetly, and wiping gently the tears from Monica's cheeks with his hands.
"Mon, the truth is that that day I got angry and it hurt me a lot, I thought you had manipulated me into falling in love with you and then laughing at me, but Ross and Phoebe assured me that wasn't the case, that you didn't want to take revenge anymore, that you loved me too, that you were happy about the date, and devastated by how that day ended" and continued
" The problem is that I don't handle disappointment well, it's hard for me to believe again, but after dinner my mother made me realize that we can all make mistakes, however, when there is love in a couple, they can be overcome," Chandler told her with a soft voice and a sweet smile.
"Besides, I also have to apologize, I hurt you without knowing it, at that time I said a lot of nonsense without thinking. But look, there were two things from that day that I didn't forget..."
Monica interrupted him "yes the macaroni and cheese" she said with a smile.
Chandler continued "yes, but other than that it was your eyes, your look. The day we met again I knew I had seen those eyes before, I didn't remember where, until you told me that you were Ross's sister and at that moment I knew where I had seen those beautiful eyes, that vibrant look."
"Look, I think we've both already apologized and we've both already forgiven each other, call to heaven," Chandler concluded with a smile.
"You still love me," Monica asked.
"Of course I love you. How could I not love you?" Chandler replied.
Monica looked at him smiling, she had not lost him, her heart began to beat at a thousand per hour, she left the glass on the counter, she looked deeply into his eyes and without further ado she jumped on him, took him by the heat and kissed him passionately.
Chandler froze, ran back and said, "We don't do that." "Not here, in the lounge, in front of everyone."
And he added, "Are you sure, it's not the alcohol?"
"I'm sure, I've wanted to do this for months, haven't you? Monica looked at him smiling.
"Me too, I actually want to kiss you all night," Chandler replied.
"Then let's go to my room, I'm alone."
Before entering Chandler told her "wait, I'm going to my room, Joey brought condoms for a whole month", he ran in for a few moments and came back with a box.
"Wow, he's conceited, but you're no slouch! Monica told him, laughing.
"It's a challenge, let's try how many we use," Chandler told Monica, smiling seductively, suggestively raising his eyebrows and winking at her.
The night was intense, Monica was ecstatic, Chandler was an incredible lover, the best she had ever had, he made sure that she enjoyed every touch, every kiss, the mating was perfect in every way.
Finally, Monica fell asleep in his arms.
The morning light began to enter through the window, and the reflection of the sun made Chandler opened his eyes. They hadn't slept much, but he looked at the clock and remembered that in three hours they had to be at the chapel. He got up gently, Monica was sleeping soundly, he went to the bathroom, came back, got into bed and started kissing her shoulder, her forehead, until Monica opened her eyes and gave him a beautiful smile.
"It's a beautiful morning, and I would stay here with you all day, but we have to get ready to go to the ceremony," Chandler said.
Monica yawned, stretched, then turned to face him and gave a deep kiss.
"Mon, we have to get up," Chandler told her with the face of a sad child.
"Too bad, yes, it's time to get up, we don't even have time for a quickie," Monica commented.
"We have all the nights of our lives," Chandler replied and Monica's heart jumped, no one had ever proposed a future to her like that…. Well or in any other way.
They rose.
"Chandler, we can save this until we get home" he looked at her questioningly "Look, I don't want to steal my brother's thunder, today is his day, if we say we are together, everyone will be interested and we will divert attention from the wedding."
"You're right, I'm leaving quickly, before Joey comes back to the bedroom, if he doesn't find me he'll drive me crazy with questions."
Regarding his nakedness, Chandler only put on his pants and unbuttoned shirt, took his shoes, the stockings, boxers, jacket and tie, looked at Monica, gave her a kiss and said, "I hope I don't find anyone in the hallway, anyway with all my clothes in my hand" and he left laughing.
When he got to his room, both beds were intact, so he opened his and turned it around to make it looks like he had used it. He threw his clothes on the floor, took off what he was wearing and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out in his bathrobe Joey had already arrived.
"Hi, how are you?" Joey asked. "You left early last night."
"Yes, dinner was boring, I came to the hotel, had a drink and went to sleep"
"I thought maybe you went to talk to Monica, she disappeared too," Joey said.
"Look, I heard how her mother drove her crazy with criticism and hints, the woman is a witch, surely she got tired of hearing her and left" Chandler commented.
"If you're right, since I've known her she's been like that, Monica tries hard to make her happy, but everything is useless, what Ross does is always perfect, but with Monica..."
"Well, let's finish getting ready or we'll be late,"
Chandler said and asked, "Don't you have to shower?"
"I didn't shower in Felicity's room."
When they were dressed and ready to leave lisen knocked on the door of his room.
