3CLOSER THAN FRIENDS 3

BY CREASSYA


This takes place at the beginning of sixth season. Chandler and Monica aren't dating. The gang is at Chandler's mother's house in
Los Angeles. She's away for a week and she told him that he and his friends could stay there until she returns. I won't go into
detail about what happens, so just sit back and enjoy :)
 

The gang has already settled into their rooms, and are ready to go sight seeing. They were all downstairs in the kitchen waiting for Monica. Ross
called upstairs and told Monica that if she doesn't hurry up, they were going to leave without her. Chandler decided to go upstairs to get her.

"Okay guys, we'll be in the car." Ross said is they were leaving.

When Chandler reached Monica's room she was folding her clothes and putting them in the drawer neatly. He stood there smiling without saying a
word. She didn't notice him standing there until she turned around to put more clothes in the drawer.

"Okay Chandler, I'll be right there." She said putting the rest of her clothes away.

"It's all right. Ross won't leave. If he does it least you'll have company."

"Thanks Chandler." She said smiling.

"No problem."

Five minutes later Chandler and Monica emerged from the house and got into the car. Ross drove around for a couple hours, then Chandler took
over. Later that day, they returned to the house. The girls wanted to get dress to check out some of the clubs they saw around town. They rented two
cars. One for the guys, and the other for the girls. The girls had an all white mazda miata which Chandler and Ross drive during their sight seeing,
and the guys had a red BMW. When they got in the house, the girls immediately went to their rooms to get ready. The guys hadn't planned to go out
until later that night. Joey and Ross went to the basement to shoot pool.

Later that night while Chandler was in the kitchen by himself, Monica came downstairs in a sexy red dress. When he noticed, he nearly choked on
his water he was drinking. She came over and patted him gently on the back.

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah." He said feeling embarrassed.

"It's a good thing you're drinking water huh?" She said smiling.

"Yeah I guess." He said grinning.

He stared at her as she walked to the refrigerator. The dress came a little above her knees with a two inch split and the back was out.

"Where's Joey and Ross?" She asked closing the refrigerator door.

"Oh, they went to the store. They'll be back."

"Oh." She said sitting next to Chandler at the kitchen counter.

"You look amazing." He said blushing.

"Thanks."

Minutes later Phoebe and Rachel came downstairs and they headed out the door just as Joey and Ross came into the house. Chandler had a smile
on his face when Joey and Ross entered the kitchen.

"What are you smiling about?" Ross asked curiously.

"Oh, I was just thinking about something."

When Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel entered their second club for the night, the guys there were all over them. One of the guys pulled Phoebe onto
the dance floor right away. When Monica and Rachel went over to the bar, some other guy pulled Rachel to the dance floor also. When Monica sat
down, three guys offered to buy her a drink. She was siting at the bar talking to a guy for five minutes before he asked her if she would come home
with him. She shook her head and walked away. While walking to the bathroom, a guy grabbed her and started dancing with her. She told him that
she'll be right back and headed towards the bathroom. No one was in the bathroom when she went in. She stood in the mirror and looked at herself.
The first club they had went to was really crowded, so they decided to leave. She decided that she would find Phoebe and Rachel and tell them that
she was ready to leave. The guys there had no self control and weren't very respectful. When she came back out of the bathroom, the same guy who
asked her to come home with her spotted her and walked over to her.

"So, did you change your mind sweetheart?" He asked smiling.

"I'm not that kinda girl sorry." She walking away.

The club was so big and crowded that it took her an hour to find Phoebe and Rachel. When Monica finally found them, Rachel was drunk and Phoebe
was ready to leave also. The three of them stumbled into the house. Monica and Phoebe had a difficult time holding Rachel up. They laid her on the
couch. They needed to rest for a couple minutes before they would try to take her up to her room. Phoebe turned around and noticed Joey and Ross
coming in.

"Guys, we need your help." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, Rachel's drunk and we need somebody to carry her up the stairs."

"All right." Ross said picking Rachel up off the couch.

"Where's Chandler?" Monica asked.

"Probably gettin' lucky." Joey said smiling.

"Don't pay him any mind."

Ross carried Rachel upstairs, then Chandler entered.

"Hey, what happened?" Joey asked with his face frowned up.

"What are you talking about?" Chandler asked.

"The girl we drove home? She was really into you."

"No she wasn't." Ross said returning to the living room.

"He's just mad because she wasn't paying him any attention." Joey said.

"We just talked."

"Chandler, what's the matter with you? She was hot!" Joey said.

"Yeah, she's hot, but I'm not interested."

"Again, I have to ask...what's the matter with you?"

"Leave him alone Joey." Ross said.

"So where does she live?" Phoebe asked.

"Next door." Ross said.

"So Ross, it seems like you like her." Monica said.

"Well, maybe a little." He said blushing.

When they went upstairs, Chandler and Monica stayed in the living room.

"So, who was your night?" He asked.

"It could have been better. What about you?"

"It could have been better." He said.

"Sorry to hear that."

"Yeah me too. Hey, you wanna go for a drive?" He asked.

"Yeah, sounds good."

Chandler kept glancing at Monica as he drove. He couldn't help it.

"So, how was the club you guys went to?" He asked.

"Don't you mean clubs?"

"Okay. How were the clubs you went to?"

"We're home early." She said.

"I see."

"The guys couldn't keep their hands to themselves."

"Not that I blame them." He said smiling.

Monica smiled at him and shook her head. While she was talking about her night, they reached a red light, and he didn't know what got into him, but
he reached over and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. She looked at him and he drew his hand back feeling embarrassed. He blushed
and she smiled. An hour later they returned to the house and went to their room without saying a word. Monica felt weak at the touch of his hand on
her cheek. She found herself not wanting him to move his hand. She decided not to think about it anymore and went to sleep.

When she came downstairs the next morning, she saw Chandler and smiled. He didn't notice her until she was in the kitchen. He turned his head to
look at her and smiled also. She went in to join the rest of the gang in the living room and Chandler's eyes followed. When he was finished eating his
cereal he went over and sat next to Monica. Minutes later, she was leaning on him as she often did when they sat next to each other. Chandler
thought she would act a little weird towards him, but she didn't. She acted like it didn't happen.

Two days later, the gang had all went out for the entire day. It was the first time since they arrived, that they've all spent time together. When they
came home later that night everyone went straight to their rooms. The house was so big that they were all able to get a room to themselves. Later
that night, Monica came downstairs. She was surprised to see Chandler sitting there by himself.

"Hey, I didn't know anybody was down here." She said coming over and sitting on the couch.

"I could go back upstairs you want."

"Stop being silly."

"Why?" He asked with mock seriousness.

"So, what are you doing down here all by yourself?"

"I don't know, just thinking."

"You couldn't think in your room?"

"Nah, my brain doesn't quite function upstairs."

"I see." She said laughing.

"So, what were you thinking about?"

"Well, nothing actually. It's turns out that my brain doesn't quite work down her either."

"Oh."

"So, what brings you down here this time of night?" Chandler asked.

"I don't know."

"Come on, you can come up with something better than that."

"Actually I can't." She said grinning.

Hours later after, Chandler and Monica were asleep with her leaning on his shoulder. When he woke up, he looked at her. He used his right hand
and patted her leg, but she didn't wake up. He sat there for a couple seconds, then he softly kissed her forehead. He kissed the tip of her nose also.
When she didn't wake up, he kissed her lips. Seconds later, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. He seemed poised and confident, but inside
he was nervous and embarrassed for letting his emotions get the best of him.

"I could have sworn that I felt you kiss me." She said.

"I did." He said gazing at her.

Chandler expected her to get up, but she kept looking into his eyes. He took that as a good sign and kissed her again. At the touch of his lips against
hers, she became weak in his arms. As the kiss began to heat up, she found a little strength and put her hand to the side of his face.

"I don't think we're supposed to be kissing." He said between kisses.

"You started it."

"I know, but I couldn't help myself."

"Me either."

Twenty minutes later, they were on the couch kissing with Chandler on top of her between her legs. When Chandler's tongue entered her mouth,
Monica let out a soft noise and gently ran her hand down his back. She was enjoying the kiss, and hoped that nobody came downstairs to interrupt
them. They laid on the couch and kissed for an hour off and on. She didn't want to move, and she didn't want him to move either. His body felt good
on top of hers. He caressed her face as he kissed her and she held him tightly, not wanting him to move. He stopped kissing her and looked into her
eyes. When she smiled at him, he gave her a very soft and tender peck on the mouth.

"I had no idea you were such a good kisser." Monica said.

"Should I take that as a compliment?"

"Definitely."

Chandler lifted himself off of her and sat up. Monica sat up also, wondering what Chandler was thinking about. She was hoping that he wouldn't say
that he shouldn't be kissing her. She was drawn to him all of sudden.

"Monica?"

"Yeah."

"What's going on between us?"

"I think that's obvious. We have feelings for each other." She said with her leg resting on his.

"I know, but....I don't know what to say."

"You don't regret kissing me do you?"

"Of course not Mon. I just don't want you to regret kissing me."

"Why would I regret kissing you?"

"Because, we're bestfriends...."

"So." She said staring into his blue eyes.

"So, it's okay?" He asked smiling.

"Of course it's okay."

"Good. Well, I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." He said getting up off the couch.

"Okay." She smiling.

When he went upstairs, she threw herself back on the couch. She laid there wishing that he would have taken her by the hand and lead her into his
room. She did worry about what it would do to their friendship, but push the thought away. She got up off the couch and went to her room. While she
was in bed, she thought about sneaking into his room, but she didn't. Instead, she went to sleep.

The next night she decided that she wanted to relax in the indoor Jacuzzi. When she got there, Chandler was in the pool. When he saw her, he smiled.
She slowly climbed in the Jacuzzi and seconds later, Chandler followed. They didn't say anything to each other. He slowly made his way over to her
and they started kissing. He put his hands to her face, and she held him around his waist. It was weird to her, but she missed Chandler. She hadn't
seen him all day. He was out with Joey and Ross. They wanted to go to a strip club, so Chandler told them to drop him off. He didn't tell them why,
but he wanted to be with Monica. Chandler pulled back a little and brushed some hair out of her face.

"I missed you today." Monica said.

"I missed you too. I thought about us kissing last night."

"Me too."

"Are you worried about what this could do to our friendship?" He asked.

"Yeah, but not much."

"Me either."

"Did I ever tell you how cute you are?" She asked holding his face in her hands.

"I think you just did gorgeous." He said running his finger gently through her hair.

Chandler's touch and the way he gazed at her, weakened her. She melted at the touch of his fingertips against her skin. While he ran his fingers
through her hair, she laid her head against his chest. The amazing feel of Chandler's touch reminded her of the song When You Put Your Hands On
Me, by Christina Aguilera. (I can't help it, I love her songs,lol)

When You Put Your Hands On Me

I don't know about the travel of time
And I've never seen most of the world
I don't know
Diving out of the sky
Or living like the diamonds of pearls

See I haven't danced to a musical tune
And I haven't noticed the flowers in bloom
I haven't smiled
When alone in my room very much
Then we touched

I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self-control

I don't know if a doll can unwind
Or how to make a person go
I don't know how to be what you like
And simply open up the depths of my soul

So I keep my wings
And my eyes on the down
Ready for nothing
But holding my ground
I haven't used
A particular noun very much
Then we touched

I won't notice
Or pay you no mind
Boy I couldn't care less
What you do with your time
Your fingertips on my hips
Just move me like one of a kind

When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
I just know when you put your
Hands on me I feel ready
And I lost my self control

When she lifted her head off his chest, she gently touched his face.

"I like this." Monica said.

"What?"

"You know. Being here with you...like this."

"Me too." He said.

He leaned in and kissed her softly and sexily. Things began to heat up, and not because the water was hot. When they heard a noise, they quickly
broke apart. Monica got out of the water just as Joey, Phoebe, and Ross were coming to the pool area. Chandler watched her as she walked out. He
stayed in the pool for twenty minutes after Monica left, they he got out and went to his room.

Monica was on her way to sleep when she felt someone kissing her lips. She opened her eyes, and saw that it was Chandler. She sat up and turned on
the night light.

"What took you so long?"

"I couldn't follow you. I didn't wanna look suspicious." He said giving her a soft peck on the mouth.

"I see. So, what are you waiting for?" She asked turning out the light.

She pulled the covers back, and he climbed into bed with her. She laid back and he starting kissing her. Shortly after he was on top of her making
love to her. They were enjoying every second of each other. As Chandler went deeper into her, her moans became louder. Chandler didn't worry
about anyone hearing her because the rooms were far apart from each other. He stopped moving and looked at her. He softly kissed her lips and got
up off of her. He started slowly kissing her neck, her arms, her breast, her stomach, and her inner thighs. He then worked his way from her legs all
the way back to her mouth. While kissing her, he slid back inside her. She felt amazing to him. He didn't want the night to end, most less the sex. The
more she ran her hands all over his body, the more turned on he became. When she began to suck on his neck, he knew that he couldn't last much
longer. He stopped once again and kissed her for ten minutes. He wanted the sex to last as long as possible, and so did she. Shortly after he started
moving again, it was over.

The next day, they were all in the kitchen eating breakfast. Chandler and Monica kept glancing at each other.

"Chandler, where did you disappear to late last night?" Ross asked.

"Why? Chandler asked nervously.

"Because, I went in your room and you weren't there. I looked all over the house for you."

"Were you next door Chandler?" Joey asked with a grin.

"No. And it's none of your business who I was with last night." He said eyeing Monica.

"Speaking of last night. Who was in your room Mon?" Rachel asked.

"What?" She asked in shock.

"Yeah, I heard some noises coming from your room."

"Yeah, noises of loooove." Phoebe said.

"I'm not discussing this." Monica said.

"Why not?" Rachel said.

"Because, it's between me and the guy."

"Since when?" Rachel asked.

"Since now."

After breakfast everyone went to their rooms except for Chandler and Monica. She was standing against the refrigerator when Chandler came over
and kissed her. Nobody knew of their night together and they didn't know of their new relationship. They planned on telling the gang when they
returned home, but for now, they wanted to keep it a secret. Chandler pulled back and looked at her fondly as she reached up and touched his face.

"Did I tell you that you're the best?" Monica asked.

"Yeah, several times last night." He said grinning.

"Oh yeah, that's right."

"Did I tell you that you're the best?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, several times last night."

They both laughed. When Rachel came back downstairs, Chandler backed away from her. When she came into the kitchen, Chandler went up to his
room, and minutes later Monica followed him. She came into his room and locked the door. Chandler stood by the bed as she walked over to him.

"You're gonna have to be quiet this time Geller."

"So are you Bing."
