"Hey." Chandler greets walking into the apartment. The girls, Joey, Ross and I are playing cards around the coffee table, greeting him. I nudge Joey in the ribs as he looks over my shoulder at my cards.
"So how was Joan?" I ask, glancing at him before putting my cards face down on the table. Rachel just won the game again.
"I broke up with her." Chandler shrugs as he walks over to us and sits down on the couch.
"Number 4." I mumble, taking a pile of cards and shuffling them for no reason just for something to keep my hands busy.
Joey leans over to me with a frown on his face. "What?" He questions.
"That's the fourth girl Chandler has dated in two months." I whisper to him. "It's getting annoying that he keeps leaving girls for petty reasons." I look up at him, questioningly. "You wouldnt break up with me because of something stupid, right?" I ask him, genuinely curious.
"No." He assures me with a smile. I return the smile and lean into his side.
"Let me guess because of the nostril thing." Ross guesses from his seat with a sigh.
"They were huge." Chandler exclaims. "When she sneezed, bats flew out of them." He glances at the rest of us. I roll my eyes and get up, walking to the kitchen refilling my glass of wine.
"Come on, they were not that huge." Rachel tells our friend as I walk back to everyone. I sit on the floor next to Phoebe sipping my wine.
"I'm tellin' you, she leaned back, I could see her brain." He tries to defend himself and I scoff at his exaggeration.
"How many perfectly fine women are you gonna reject over the most superficial insignificant things?" Monica asks.
"Hold it hold it. I gotta side with Chandler on this one. When I first moved to the city, I went out a couple of times with this girl, really hot, great kisser, but she had the biggest Adam's apple. It made me nuts." Joey informs us.
I frown and look at the others who return the look. "Uh, Joey?" I speak up.
He turns to me questioningly. "Yeah?"
"Uh, women don't have Adam's apples." I explain to him. The girls and I lift our heads up exposing our necks to show we don't have Adam's apples.
Joey goes silent looking at us. "You guys are messin' with me, right?" He finally asks.
We all look at each other before nodding. "Yeah."
"That was a good one. For a second there, I was like, "whoa."" Joey laughs putting his hands up. I chuckle quietly watching him softly. Man, he's cute. ________
The next morning I sit on the kitchen counter eating leftovers. Rachel leans against the back of the couch and Joey stands beside me stealing bits of food from my plate. "You name one woman that you broke up with for a real reason." Phoebe says sitting down at the dining table with Chandler, Ross and Monica.
