The one with the jellyfish~my version

Chapter 9

Monica stood in the kitchen bent over the stove making pancakes for all six of the friends. At the moment only the girls were in the apartment but she assumed the boys would be arriving soon. It had only been one night, not even 24 hours and she missed him. His touch. His kiss. The way their bodies felt together. She wanted to win this bet so bad and she knew that after this, however long they have to wait, the best sex she ever had would be waiting on the other end. Her and chandler could be together, for real, for ever.

"Good morning children." Chandler strolled into apartment 20 closely followed by Ross and Joey. The boys plonked themselves down around the kitchen table while Rachel and Phoebe were watching the TV. It was clear that Ross and Rachel's plan was to avoid all contact. In contrary, Chandler and Monica seemed to be trying to act like they always used to be; friends.

"Grubs up." Monica announced as she placed a stack of pancakes in the middle of the table causing an almighty free for all. Joey, of course, got there first and grabbed a handful while everyone else took one at a time. Once everyone had eaten, they all sat around the living area.

The sexual tension could have been cut with a knife.

Nervous stares, twitching if fingers. It was clear that Phoebe and Joey we're loving this situation as they just couldn't stop grinning. Since Phoebe and Rachel were sat down first the others were left to fill in the gaps, Monica sat in the armchair, Chandler opted for the floor along with Ross while Joey took the last remaining seat on the sofa.
"Ok guys, this game is meant to be fun. We're all meant to be friends not people who have never met and been pushed into awkward social situations!" Phoebe moaned, feeling frustrated that they were all sat in silence without even having conversation.

Chandler: Ok you're right. Fancy heading down for a coffee?

Ross: What's the time? Looks at watch. Oh crap! I only have time to grab a quick one, I'm due at work in half an hour.

Phoebe: Ok guys. Let's go!
Phoebe was extremely happy that things might actually be how they used to be. She was happy for the others, don't get her wrong, but it seemed like they wanted to spend all their time in couples. She couldn't even tell you the last time she'd had a full one on one conversation with Chandler.

The six headed downstairs and into central perk. At first they headed towards their usual seats but it became clear that Monica and Chandler couldn't sit next to each other and stay relaxed 'as friends'. Instead, Monica sat in the armchair with Chandler in his usual corner, Rachel and Phoebe filing into the other seats on the sofa whilst Joey sat on the coffee table. Ross simply grabbed a coffee and left.

For the first time in over a week the friends sat in central perk talking and laughing and there was no pressure to do anything else. On the surface, it seemed as though they were all enjoying themselves. "And then, he ran through the door! Covered in it!" Chandler finished his story and they all broke out in hysterics. "Look, I gotta get upstairs and do some tidying, I'll take it I'll see you guys up there soon?" Monica stood up and looked around. The others expressed their agreement and continued with their conversation.

~apartment 20~
Monica: what took you so long?!

Chandler: I'm sorry, they just kept talking and they didn't trust me leaving by myself.

Monica: how did you get away?

Chandler: just told them some crap about peeking in public bathrooms. It seemed to do the trick.

The two smiled. Chandler wanted to kiss his girlfriend so much at that time. He walked towards her but Monica put out and arm,

Monica: I'm sorry chandler, but I like to win fair and square.

He looked at her with puppy dog eyes that she found so hard to resist but looked away.

Monica: we're here to talk tactics not...

She looked straight at chandler who had a slight grin,

Monica: no! We won't do that until we break them! That can be your prize.

Chandler: so what is the plan?

Monica: well, since it seems like they're trying to avoid each other, I think we need to get them in the same room. Into some romantic situation.

Chandler: how about we all go see a romantic film but we have to make sure they sit together!

Monica: ooh I like that idea Mr Bing.

If they couldn't satisfy each other's sexual needs she felt it was only fair to flirt a little, with these words, Monica picked up her bag and headed towards the door acting blissfully unaware of chandler gawping behind her.

A/N ok so I think this is my final update for this story. I've just run out of ideas and have better plans for some of my other books. Feel free to write any suggestions coz I have none but I would like to say thanks for reading this far! Xxx also I now realise this is all a bit crap 😁
