VII. THE ONE WITH THE CHOCOLATE MILK

"Hey Pheebs!" Katrina exclaimed catching up with her on the staircase.
"Oh, Hi! How's the apartment?"
"Lonely. After living with the guys you realize how quickly you can get bored." Katrina frowned. "Hey weird question what are the roller skates for?"
"I met this really cut guy in the park and he like y'know, jogs, and blades, and swims, and so y'know we made a deal that he's going to teach me all sorts of jock stuff."
"Awesome!"
"Hey he has a really cute cousin do you want me to set you up?"
"Sure, why not." Katrina shrugged. "Since Joey and I aren't going anywhere I might as well get back out there."
"Yeah especially after that whole Will accident." Phoebe pointed opening the door, Katrina frowned following her.
"Hi." Phoebe greeted.
"Hey." they all smiled.
"Look at you. Since when do you roller blade?" Joey asked Phoebe as Katrina took off her jacket.
"Oh! Since tomorrow. I met this really cute guy in the park and he like y'know, jogs, and blades, and swims, and so y'know we made a deal that he's going to teach me all sorts of jock stuff." Phoebe smiled, "and Katrina's going out with his cousin!"
"Hey there you go!" Rachel grinned happily.
"Uh, since when was this happening?" Joey cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Since five minutes ago, why?" Katrina asked.
"Oh no reason." Joey denied.
"Oo! Chocolate Milk." Katrina said rushing to Chandler's side taking his, he gestured towards Katrina telling Ross, "See!"
Ross rolled his eyes as Katrina sat on Chandler's knee drinking her milk happily.

Monica entered from her bedroom.
"Morning." she greeted.
"Somebody got in late last night." Rachel hummed.
"Yeah well I ran into Richard." Monica admitted they all gasped while Katrina was pouring Monica some coffee.
"Who's Richard?" Katrina wondered passing the coffee to Monica who thanked her taking a sip.

"Monica's ex's boyfriend." Ross explained.
"When did this happen?" Rachel interjected.
"Oh, um, around 8:02. We ah, talked for a little while, and then um, we went out for an innocent burger."
"Oh, there's no such thing as an innocent burger." Phoebe added.
"So, are you gonna see him again?" Katrina wondered.
"Tomorrow night." Monica told her.
"Monica, what are you doing?" Rachel wondered.
"Well, she spent the last six months getting over him, and now she's celebrating that by going on a date with him." Chandler elaborated.
"It's not a date, okay. I'm just gonna teach him how to make lasagna for some pot luck dinner he has." Monica shrugged slightly.
"Well, you might wanna make a little extra, y'know you'll probably be hungry after the sex." Joey pointed out.
"We're not gonna have sex! Okay, nothing's changed here. He still doesn't want children and I still do, so that's why we're just gonna be friends." Monica finished.
"Naked friends." Ross finally added.

As Katrina, Phoebe, Robert and his cousin Jake walked into the coffee house together Phoebe greets them, "Hey!"
"Hey." Chandler smiles at them.
"Hey! How'd the ah, basketball go?" Ross asked them.
"Oh, okay, I learned how to shoot a lay-up, a foul shot, and a twenty-three pointer." Phoebe grinned.
"She means a three pointer." Katrina added.

"I get more because i'm dainty."
"So um, is there a phone here, I can check my messages?" Robert asked.
"Yeah, in the back you want a quarter?" Phoebe wondered.
"Oh, no thanks. I always carry one in my sock." Robert stated putting  his leg up on the couch to get the quarter yet Chandler slides over and leans against Joey on the couch after pushing chandler his eyes widen suddenly.
"Hello!! Hi i'm Joey we haven't met."
"Ah, good to meet you. Robert." Robert greets.
"I'm Jake." Jake adds standing next to Katrina who smiles up at him.
"Are you coming Jake?" Robert asks, Jake nods and the two leave to the phone. The guys started laughing like crazy causing Phoebe and Katrina to exchange confused looks,
"What?" Katrina asked sitting next to Joey as he laugh hysterically.
"What? You guys, what is going on? Do you not like Robert? Why are you laughing?!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Calm down. There's no reason to get testy." Ross snickered.
"You guys!! Come on!" Katrina groaned annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it just seems that Robert isn't as concealed in the shorts area, as ah, one may have hoped." Chandler explained.
"What do you mean?" Phoebe wondered.
"Hey." Robert sat down with Jake.
"Hey." Phoebe and Katrina greeted him with a smile.
"Hey Robert could you ah, pass me those cookies?" Joey asks him.
"Sure." Robert shrugs putting his legs on the table passing him the cookies. Phoebe and Katrina see what the guys are laughing at and they let out a gasp as Katrina covered her mouth and dug her head into Joey's shoulder.
~~
"Katrina I need to ask you something.." Jake trailed off as they were walking down the streets of the city.
"Okay shoot." Katrina encouraged him.
"Are you and that Joey guy together?" he asked.
"I mean I know we've only been going out for a few weeks or so but it seems like there's something going on and I don't want to get into the middle of it."
"No! No. I mean we kissed once but really it was nothing I promise."
"Okay good." Jake sighed in relief as Katrina giggled slightly.
"How about we take this to my apartment?" Katrina asked.
"I like the sound of that." Jake grabbed her hand and she smiled.
~~
"Phoebe!" Joey exclaimed running into Central perk.
"What what was is it?" Phoebe asked frantically.
"How old did you say Jake was?"
"I don't know Robert didn't say why?"
"Because I just hit on his mom!"
"So?"
"She pulls out pictures of her son, and her son is Jake!"
"I don't understand."
Joey sighed. "I think Jake is a minor."
Phoebe gasped. "I set Katrina up with a minor?! Robert!" Phoebe demanded walking over to him.
"How old is Jake?" she asked.
"Um.. 17 why?"
"Ugh!" Phoebe cried out. "Katrina is 24!"

"Crap! Where are they right now?" Joey asked.
"Go check her apartment!"
~~
As Katrina and Jake started to make out the phone rang.
"Do you need to get that?" Jake mumbled.
"No." Katrina told him connecting there lips once more, as the phone rang again.
"Ignore it." Katrina said taking off her jacket then someone knocked on the door.
"Katrina! Katrina!" Joey shouted causing Katrina to pull away and turn towards the door, she had her clothes off by now so she grabbed a robe and threw it on.
"Joey?" Katrina wondered confused approaching the door.
"Katrina!" Joey shouted.

"Shut up will ya!" The guy next door yelled.
"Katrina-" Joey started as Katrina swung open the door.
"What?" Katrina shouted tightening the robe.
"Please don't tell me you-" Joey began barging in.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Joey exclaimed spotting Jake.
"I'm confused.." Jake trailed off.

"Show's over! Give it up!" Joey demanded.
"Give what up? What's going on?"
"Jake is 17!" Joey shouted pointing at Jake frantically.
"Are you not?" Jake asked as Katrina let out a gasp in surprise.
"No I am not! Thank you though- but no!" Katrina finished.
"Get out of here you weirdo and never come back!" Joey shouted pushing him out the door slamming the door behind him.

Joey sighed turning around to see Kat sitting on her couch.
"What's wrong with me?" Katrina stuttered out. "Am I that much of a slut that I have to go and sleep with a 17 year old guy!"
"Nothings wrong with you Katrina. It was a mistake, if anything it was Robert's fault-"
Katrina cringed at Robert's name.
"The.." Joey gestured, Katrina nodded.
"Katrina, any guy would be lucky to have you. Your beautiful, sexy, intelligent, funny, and sexy." Joey finished.
Katrina giggled slightly. "You said that already."
"Did I?" Joey asked.
"Hmm I guess I did."
"Thank you." Katrina sighed leaning her head on his shoulder.
"I'll always be here for you no matter the costs." Joey softly spoke as she exhaled.

A/N- I got this as an idea from Young and Hungry when Gabby almost sleeps with a minor and Josh tries to stop her. I really suggest that show its amazing, my favorite character is either Yolanda or Elliot :)
