Chapter 3: The one where Mike moves house

Joey and I had been going out every night since the day of the trial. We were starting to become the perfect couple we always wanted to and we were very happy. One day he asked me what I was dreaming of for a long time. "What do you think if you moved to my apartment?" I obviously said yes.

For the first days, I couldn't believe that I was living with him. We were slowly getting formal and that made me really happy, but when we thought that nothing could go bad anymore, we discovered that we had a new neighbour. The first time that we saw him, was when we were going to go to the central perk. We opened our door at the same time he did and then we saw him. To our surprise and annoyance, it was Mike.

"Hello happy couple!" He said with an ironic tone of voice. "What are you doing here?" I shouted to him. I was really nervous and Joey tried to calm me down, but it did no effect. Mike noticed my anger, and in order to anger me more said, with an aphatetic attitude: "Nothing! This is just my house!" He was being really mean to me and I just wanted to strip out his head. I went to him in order to hit him, but Joey pushed me back in our house.

I was pretty angry at him, but especially at Chandler and Monica for having sold his house to him. "I hate Monica!" I said. Joey looked at me, stunned. "Maybe they don't know that they have sold their house to him." He said. I took my hands to my head and sighed "I don't know." "Well, I'll go talk to them." He answered and went to the central perk.

I was still angry and wanted to have a few words with Mike, so I waited in my door until he got back. "What do you think you are doing?" I asked him when he got back. "I don't know. What do you think you are doing? I'm not the one who has broken our marriage!" He replied. He invited me to enter into his house and I did. Our conversation continued:

- "And why don't you just live the life and forget about me?"

- "Because I'm your husband an you're my wife!"

- "No you are not! We are divorced Mike!"

- "Yes, but it doesn't have to be like this anymore. I know it was just a misunderstood and we still have time to fix it!"

- "But I don't want to fix it! I'm happy with Joey, don't you understand it?"

- "No"

At this exact moment Mike kissed me and Joey opened the door with the key he still had. Joey got petrified and started to cry. Mike stopped kissing me and then I turned around and noticed what had happened. Joey looked at me with disappointment and rushed to the apartment. I tried to follow him. "Joey!" I shouted. He slammed the door and I remained on the door and stared to cry too. "Joey!" I shouted again. "Leave me alone!" He shouted to me.

I got to the hallway and called Rachel. After a while she came with Monica, Ross and Chandler. I got really angry with Monica for having sold the house to Mike and for having come to console me. "I hate you Monica! How do you dare to come here?" I saied to her and cried more. Monica putted her hand on my shoulder and aswered :"Phoebe, honey, I didn't know who I had sold the house to." "Okey, but how is it that you didn't know?" I asked. "Well, I sold it to an enterprise and they tell me, that they had sold it to a man of our age, but in no case did they told me that it was Mike. I'm sorry Phoebe." She hugged me and then we stood silent for a while. "Where's Joey?" Chandler finally asked. "He's in the apartment, angry at me because he has seen me and Mike kissing". I said. Everyone started to look at me with astonishment. "What? It isn't my fault! This rat kissed me to make Joey feel bad and to show him that we won't never have the relationship we want. " I desperatly said. "I'll go talk to him." Replied Chandler. "Wait, before you go, could you take this? I need you to give this to him?" I asked with a CD in my hand. "Sure!" He ansewered and took it with him.

Chandler knocked at the apartment's door and Joey shouted from the inside: "Gooo!" "Joey, it's me, Chandler!" Chandler replied. Joey opened the door and let Chandler in. They started to talk:

- "How are you Joey?"

- "Not so good, but it's okay, I'll go through it. I don't even know why I tried to have something with Phoebe at all when she was my friend. Now it's all over I suppose."

- "Well, maybe there is a chance to retake the relationship..."

- "No, I don't think so dude. She seemed so into him..." He sighed and then changed the topic "Do you want some coffee?"

- "Yes, please!"

As Joey was doing the coffee, Chandler was putting the cd that Phoebe had given him into the TV, and when he finished, it started to play. The video was of me asking him for forgiveness and making him see how much I loved him. "Joey, I'm sorry for having kissed Mike, but it really didn't was like you think. He kissed me in order to make you feel bad and insecure about us and about our relationship, but I dind't wanted this to happen. I'm really sorry and I hope you can forgive me, because I love you and I really think that we could have a perfect relationship. You are my lobster Joey". The video ended and Joey was so astounded that he accidentally threw the hot coffee for the kettle to his feet.

After we all went to the hospital and got Joey's feet bound, we got back home and cuddled in bed. "You are my lobster too!" Said Joey in a really soft tone.
