Sweet Nothing In My Ear

You Remember Me

Chandler woke up from a banging coming from the kitchen. He slowly got out of bed and walked there.

Joey was trying to figure out how to make pancakes sense Monica wasn't answering her door.

"Morning." Joey said once he saw Chandler come out of his room.

"Morning." Chandler said back, rubbing his eyes. He sat down on the stool at the counter and watched Joey attempt to cook breakfast. "What are you making?" He finally asked watching as Joey started pouring syrup in the bowl.

"Pancakes." He said

Chandler just nodded "I'm gonna go get ready."

Monica was putting on her make-up in the bathroom when Alex came running in. Monica waved at him.

Alex started moving around.

She realized he needed to use the bathroom and quickly stopped what she was doing getting out so he can go.

Once he got out Monica smiled "Go get ready. I'm going to see if Uncle Joey can watch you today."

He started jumping for joy. He loved playing with Joey.

Twenty minutes later Monica walked over and walked right into Joey's apartment "Joey?" She called out.

He came out of the bathroom from brushing his teeth "Yeah?"

"Do you think you can watch Alex today? I would ask Rachel and Ross but it's their anniversary and I don't wanna ruin that." She told him

"Yeah, of course I'll watch him. You know how much I love that little guy." He smiled

Chandler came out of his room when he heard voices.

"Oh, Mon, this is my new roommate. Chandler." Joey said

Monica's heart stopped. She swollowed hard, remembering this Chandler. She couldn't believe he was here. What is she going to do, what is she going to tell him? 'Maybe he doesn't even remember me?' Monica thought

Chandler saw her and recoginzed her from the restaurant him and Tom went to. That's the girl.

"Chandler this is my friend, Monica." Joey said

Those words struck Chandler like a million volts. He remembered the name Moncia, he remembered clearly now, she was the same Monica that he couldn't stop thinking about for years. 'I wonder if she still remembers me? And if she would forgive me...' Chandler thought

Joey saw the look they gave each other "You guys know each other or something?" He asked

They both looked at Joey "Umm...no, no I don't think so." Monica cut in and reached out for Chandler's hand "Hi."

"...Hi." He said slowly shaking her hand.

Neither of them moved from their spot. "Well I better get going." Chandler said still not moving, starring at her eyes.

Monica just nodded.

Chandler finally moved from Monica's gaze and left for work. "What was the all about?" Joey asked once he left

Monica looked at him "Nothing..." She didn't want to tell him anything, not until she spoke with Chandler about it first.

He just nodded deciding not to push her any further. If she wanted to tell him she would.

Monica went to go get Alex and bring him over to Joey's while she too went to work.

She tried to hurry home from work to pick him up, she was hoping Chandler wasn't there yet. She didn't want to face him again. That was very awkward what happened the smorning. She didn't want it to happen with Alex there, there will just be questions she won't know how to answer...not yet.
