Chapter 13 - The One With The Boobies

                                    

                                          
It was a chilly winter morning at Central Perk, and the gang was gathered around their usual table, chatting and sipping their warm drinks. Rachel was recounting her latest work fiasco while Monica and Ross listened intently. Darcy was nursing a latte, enjoying the cosy atmosphere.
"So, I'm standing there with this tray of drinks, and the next thing I know, I've got coffee all over this customer's white suit," Rachel said, shaking her head. "It was a disaster."
Monica smiled sympathetically. "I'm sure it wasn't that bad, Rachel."
Rachel sighed. "It was. I just hope I don't get fired."
Just then, Chandler walked in, looking flustered. He grabbed a seat and stared into his coffee cup, avoiding eye contact with Rachel.
"Hey, Chandler, you okay?" Ross asked, noticing his friend's unusual behaviour.
Chandler cleared his throat, still not looking at Rachel. "Uh, yeah. Just had a... strange morning."
Rachel looked confused. "Strange how?"
Before Chandler could respond, Joey burst into the café, looking stressed. "Guys, I need to talk to you. It's about my parents."
The group's attention shifted to Joey, who sat down heavily. "My dad's having an affair."
A collective gasp went around the table. Darcy reached out to place a comforting hand on Joey's shoulder. "Joey, I'm so sorry. That's tough."
Joey nodded, his expression grim. "Yeah, I don't know what to do. I feel like I should talk to him, but I don't want to make things worse."
Ross leaned in, offering his support. "Maybe you should talk to your mom first. See how she's doing."
Joey sighed. "Yeah, maybe. I just feel so helpless."
Darcy squeezed his shoulder gently. "We're here for you, Joey. Whatever you need."
As the group continued to console Joey, Chandler tried to slip away unnoticed, but Darcy caught his arm. "Hey, where are you going?"
Chandler sighed, looking embarrassed. "I just need to get some air."
Darcy followed him outside, where he leaned against the building, taking deep breaths. "Alright, spill. What's going on?"
Chandler looked at her, his face a mix of guilt and awkwardness. "I accidentally saw Rachel... topless."
Darcy's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, Chandler. How did that happen?"
Chandler groaned. "I went to use the bathroom, and she was just coming out of the shower. It was a complete accident, but now I can't even look at her without feeling like a pervert."
Darcy smiled sympathetically. "Well, you need to talk to her. Clear the air. Otherwise, it's just going to get more awkward."
Chandler nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Darcy."
They walked back inside, and Chandler made his way over to Rachel, who was still chatting with Monica and Ross.
"Uh, Rachel, can we talk for a second?" Chandler asked, his voice hesitant.
Rachel looked up, confused. "Sure, Chandler. What's up?"
Chandler took a deep breath. "I need to apologize. This morning, I accidentally saw you... you know... topless. It was a complete accident, and I'm really sorry."
Rachel's eyes widened in surprise, and then she laughed. "Oh, Chandler! It's okay. It was an accident. Don't worry about it."
Chandler looked relieved. "Really? You're not mad?"
