It was a Saturday evening and the Halliwell family would attend a wedding. Phoebe Halliwell did not want to go, because weddings were boring for her. Plus, after the wedding she would have to dance with a random guy. It was a tradition in their family. All the unmarried women had to dance with someone at the wedding reception. Phoebe thought that was stupid and didn't like to dance in front of everyone, but her parents insisted.
Phoebe was an only child, but she liked it, because her parents did anything for her, although sometimes she wished she had had another sister or brother, whom could trust and do sibling stuff together.
"Wow! You look amazing honey!" Patty Halliwell exclaimed when she saw her daughter in an amazing blue fluffy dress, which suited her like a glove and showed off her pretty little figure, while light brown curls were falling on her shoulders.
"Thank you, mum." Phoebe replied.
"We have to go now." Victor Halliwell said and they all got in the car.
After the wedding it was time to get to the reception. It was outdoors, on a magical place, next to a big park, which looked like a small forest.
"Now, this is amazing!" Phoebe exclaimed when she got out of the car and examined her surroundings.
"I know. I helped your aunt and cousin to rent this." Patty said.
"It must be really expensive." Phoebe told her.
"Well, you know money is not a problem for them." Victor said.
"Right…" Phoebe uttered.
They sat at their table and soon the place was full of relatives and friends. Phoebe did not know most of them, but she was happy for her cousin and didn't want to say anything about wanting to leave.
An hour had passed and it was time for the unmarried girls and boys to dance.
"Is this really necessary? I mean, I'm only 17!" Phoebe tried to get out of it.
"Yes, it is. Now go to the dancefloor with the other ladies!" Patty said.
"Oh, man…" Phoebe said, but did not have a choice so she joined the others.
She felt awkward, as she had no idea with whom she would dance with. The boys picked their dame. Suddenly she felt an arm grabbing hers and the music started playing.
Phoebe turned around and found two incredible blue eyes staring at her. He didn't say anything and started dancing with her. Phoebe danced along with him thinking how handsome he was. He was taller than her and had brown hair. He was strong and… handsome!
"So handsome!" Phoebe thought.
He was dancing very well and was a great cavalier. He was looking at her passionately and she was mesmerized. After three minutes the song was over. They stopped dancing, but then he grabbed her hand and led her towards the small forest.
"Where are we going?" Phoebe asked suddenly.
"It's too loud in there, don't you think?" He replied to her and she heard his lovely voice for the first time.
"Yeah, but…" Phoebe started but he cut her off.
"Don't worry, I know this place like the palm of my hand. Anyway, we are not far."
Phoebe just looked at him and he smiled.
"Maybe I should get us some booze." He said.
"Booze?" Phoebe asked.
"You don't drink?" He asked in return.
"I do, but you know I think my parents will be looking for me."
"They are probably talking with the others. They won't even notice you missing."
"So, what are you waiting for?" She asked him and he smiled at her and left.
"Who is he? And how did he just bring me here? I should have said something, but his eyes are just… irresistible!" Phoebe thought and in a minute he was back holding a beer and a paper in his hand.
"Um… you brought one beer." Phoebe noticed.
"I know, but where I went there was only one."
"Where?"
"You ask too many questions!"
"You are not clear!"
"I just grabbed this from a table, without going further in there, otherwise they would start talking to me and I wouldn't be able to come back." He said.
"Ok, but it doesn't explain it to me why we are here. I don't even know you." Phoebe said and he got closer to her.
"We danced together, isn't that enough?" He smiled and she did the same.
"Here." He said and threw down the paper he was holding.
"What's that?"
"It's where we are going to sit."
"No way, my dress is going to turn into a mess."
"That's why I brought this."
"Still…" She said and he sat down.
"Will you join me?" He said and offered her his arm. Phoebe thought for a second and she took it.
"What's your name?" Phoebe asked him suddenly.
"Cole." He said and took a sip.
"I'm Phoebe."
"Nice name." Cole said and gave her the beer.
"Thanks." She took the bottle and drank.
"You're very beautiful." Cole told her suddenly and Phoebe smiled.
"I'm glad I saw you and got to you in time before anyone else asked you to dance." Cole told her truthfully.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I had spotted you earlier." He told her and caressed her cheek gently.
"You're sweet." Phoebe told him and leaned forward and so did he. Their lips met and they shared their first kiss. It was soft, but Phoebe was lost in it. He broke apart and saw her eyes were still closed and crushed his lips again onto hers. This time the kiss was more intense and passionate. He moved his hand from her cheek to her waist. Phoebe loved his taste and didn't think about anything but Cole. He pressed her on the tree they were under and Phoebe moaned slightly. Things were pretty heated up. Cole's hands were exploring Phoebe's body and Phoebe's hands Cole's body. Even Phoebe's long lasted lipstick was nowhere to be seen! Cole's mouth was lost in Phoebe's neck now.
"Careful!" Phoebe said suddenly.
"What?" Cole said having his lips on Phoebe's neck.
"No hickeys mister." Phoebe told him both playfully and seriously and Cole looked at her.
"Don't worry baby." Cole smiled and continued his little venture, but stopped again.
"Your dress covers everything and I can't…." Cole said as he was looking at Phoebe's dress and stopped at her cleavage, where he couldn't have full access and Phoebe hit him playfully.
"Hey!" Phoebe told him and laughed.
"I'm just saying!" Cole said and kissed her again.
Suddenly a phone rang.
"Is it yours?"
"Yes…" Cole said and answered it.
"Hello."
"At the wedding reception."
"No, I don't think so."
"Ok, talk to you tomorrow."
"You too." Cole said and hang up.
"Sorry." Cole told her and started kissing her again.
"Who was it?" Phoebe asked him on his lips.
"My girlfriend." Cole told her smoothly.
"Who?" Phoebe asked and pushed him off of her.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but it didn't hit me to tell you."
"Cole…" Phoebe started.
"Don't you have a boyfriend?" Cole asked her.
"No! Otherwise I wouldn't be here!" Phoebe shouted.
"Ok, so I have, but come on. We are just making out. I didn't know you'd have such a big problem." Cole told her.
"I shouldn't be here…" Phoebe said and got up to leave, but he stopped her.
"Come on Phoebe!" Cole told her as he got up.
"Cole you have a girlfriend. How can you cheat on her?" Phoebe asked him.
"When I saw you, I totally forgot about her."
"I have to go." Phoebe said and left.
"Damn it." Cole said and started doing his buttons up.
Phoebe was going where everybody else was, but realized her dress was not looking well.
"Damn it!" Phoebe exclaimed and started fixing it as well as she could.
"Hey Phoebe! Where were you?" Patty asked her.
"At the bathroom." Phoebe lied.
"Ok." Patty said and continued discussing with the others.
"She bought it? I've been out for like 30 minutes… Whatever, it's better that way." Phoebe thought and sat down. She stared around the room to see if Cole was back and she spotted him staring at her. Phoebe looked away and Cole sighed.
