"Hiding Cole Desperately"
Chapter 1
"Two months of playing Hide and Seek"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Hey baby." Phoebe said through the phone. She was in her office, but she needed a break from work and nothing was better than Cole to distract her, what could be better than the guy of your dreams telling you sweet words through the phone?
"Hey my love." Cole replied to her.
"How was your day honey?" She asked.
"Quite boring, worked much, thought about you a lot." He answered.
" I thought about you too, actually, that's why I'm calling you" She told him.
"Really?" He asked.
"Huh-uh, I want to see you today." She said. "I need to see you today." She emphasized.
"Well, I have an idea that could work." He started.
"I'm listening, I'm up to everything that has to do with you." She replied with a seductive tone. Cole loved this very special tone of her, the one which made his heart melt.
"What about a romantic dinner in a romantic restaurant, just the two of us?" He proposed.
Their problem was that they weren't able to see each other that much, because of their secret, because Phoebe's sisters couldn't find out about them otherwise, it would be the end of their relationship and that was the last thing they wanted to happen. Phoebe couldn't go out every night without telling her sisters where she was, and they could be really curious and annoying at times and more when it comes about secret's-lives'-details, so Phoebe realized they would become too suspicious. So, Phoebe was spending one evening with Cole each week, lying to her sisters about this deadline and the fact she had to work on her column. One time, she had fallen asleep in Cole's arms and didn't get back home and of course her sisters had noticed it, so she told them that she had fallen asleep in her office while she was working on her column. But in a way, that was good for their relationship because the lack of time together were turning their meetings in loving, hot and passionate encounters. It reminded her of the times when Cole was hiding from the source and running away from bounty hunters. A time when they barely had time to be with each other; in that time was like: hello; the classy 'I missed you' passionately kiss; 'I love you'; then make love, if they had time, and of course they always made time for it; then 'I love you and I'll be back'. That was their relationship at the moment, and now was kinda the same, but with the difference that they had to hide because Phoebe's sisters couldn't know it and now they had reached to a different level in their relationship, it was more important to share and be with the other than the sex itself. Of course that the lack of time could accumulate a lot of sexual tension between then, and they gladly to work it out, but that didn't change the fact that the main goal was just to be together, in any way, not just physically, but also emotionally.
"Sounds interesting." She said.
"Uh, just wait until desert." He softly said.
"Oh, I don't think I'll have problems with the waiting unlike other persons I know..." She played.
"That's not fair." He said acting hurt, it was just to follow the game.
"Will you be patient enough to wait until dessert?" She asked
"I won't be if I'll have you for dessert." He answered.
They both smiled and Phoebe said: "Well, maybe you could pick me up at the Paper's parking lot around 7, what do you think?"
"It's okay, but what about your sisters?" He said.
"I told them I had to work on my column and that I wouldn't be home until midnight." She replied.
"So, midnight and my princess will have to disappear again, right?" He told her with sadness in his voice.
"Yeah baby, but the good thing is that I won't turn into a maid, but if you want I'll forget one of my shoes and the next day you could come to the manor and try it on my sisters." She told him with a small laugh.
"There is no way for me to go to the manor." He replied seriously.
"I know honey, so you pick me up at 7?" She told him.
"Sure, I love you." He replied.
"I love you too, bye." Phoebe said before hanging up the phone.
As Cole hung up the phone, he smiled and sighed with relief, he was finally going to see Phoebe, he was missing her so much that it was unbearable. He was dying to kiss her, to touch her... but that wasn't just that, he wanted to share some time with her, do normal things as a normal couple is suppose to do, watch TV in each others arms, going shopping, sleeping late, having a picnic following by a long afternoon of making out in a park, walking hands to hands in the streets...
All those things were forbidden for them, they couldn't get the risk to get caught, because they were afraid that if they got caught they would have a sad ending one more time.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It was 7 o'clock when Phoebe arrived in the parking lot. Of course, Cole was already waiting for her. They both smiled when they saw the other. Phoebe quickly walked towards Cole and she wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his hands around her waist. Their lips met in a huge passionate kiss as Phoebe pressed her body against Cole's.
" I missed you so much baby." Cole told her, almost breathless once they broke apart.
"Kiss me again then." Phoebe replied with a smile that Cole found damn beautiful and sexy.
He didn't wait one more second to do as he was told and quickly kissed her, sliding his hands under her blouse and caressing the smooth skin of her back and of her sides as his kiss became more passionate and more demanding.
Phoebe smiled and she pulled away from him, removing his hand from under her blouse and she told him: "Hold on Mr. Turner, you'll have to wait until dessert."
Cole smiled and asked: "You know, this time for a change, I'd like to start by dessert."
"That would be great but since I had to finish my column today before I met you and I was pretty late, I didn't even take lunch, so I'm pretty hungry now." She told him.
"What about we go home and I make you a huge sandwich?" He proposed.
Phoebe shrugged and said: "I really wanted that romantic dinner with you, you know."
Cole smiled and pulled her against him and he said: "I was kidding, I will never let you eat a simple sandwich after an hard day at work."
She smiled back at him and he added: "After dinner, what about a hot bath with candles?"
She rested her forehead on his chest and told him: "You really know me, you know what I want and what I need, don't you?"
Cole kissed her on the top of the head and said: "That's why you love me, don't you?"
"I love you for thousand reasons Cole Turner." She replied as she raised her head to look in his beautiful blue eyes.
Once again he kissed her passionately.
When he pulled apart, Phoebe was smiling even more and told him: "Let's go, I don't want us to be late."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
About half an hour later, Cole and Phoebe were sitting at the table in a romantic restaurant with candles. When Cole called the restaurant for the reservations, he asked for a table that would give them some privacy, that's why Phoebe and him were in a little corner of the restaurant and people could barely see them.
"Uh-uh." Cole asked for her attention.
"Miss Halliwell, may I ask your attention for minute?" He asked with a delightful smile.
"That depends of what you're gonna try this time?" She replied playfully.
"I'm serious." He said and she nodded.
"I want to propose a toast." He started as he raised his cup.
In this occasion they were drinking a very expensive champagne because this worth it.
"A toast? What for?" She asked.
"Us." He replied with a big smile.
"For 'Us' then." She said and they both clicked the cups and took a sip of the champagne. "Incredible isn't it?" She started.
"What?" He replied.
"It's been two months since we got together again." She continued.
"Yeah, and I could say these last two months have been the best time ever." He expressed.
"Yeah, it's really been the best." She added.
"And how hard was it for me to get you back." He said sarcastically.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked back, "What about me?"
"Yeah, it should have been hard to stop yourself to try to turn me on to get me in your bed and to stop yourself from stalking me, oh... wait, you didn't.." Cole said, giving her his best smile.
"That's not fair." She Phoebe replied.
"What was not fair? You hanging around the penthouse wearing sexy and hot underwear?" He teased her again.
Phoebe sighed and Cole decided to stop teasing her and he said more seriously: "We have to thanks Sara, we wouldn't be here together without her."
Phoebe nodded and said: "She's been really awesome on this one, her plan to bring us back together worked like a charm."
"I remember the time when you were calling her a B4, Big Boobs Blond Bitch, is that right?" He started to tease her again.
"What else could you expect? I thought you were sleeping with her!" Phoebe exclaimed.
Cole let out a small laugh and she said: "Hopefully, we worked this out, we're really good friends now."
"Yeah, I remember the first time you meet and really talk together, what it was about anyway?
"It was about the invitations for the wedding, which will be in one month", she replied
***FLASHBACK ***
One day Phoebe came to Cole's office but he was in a meeting so she had to wait for him, meanwhile Sara was looking at some catalogues because she was deciding some details for the wedding.
"Is Cole there?" Phoebe asked avoiding eye contact.
"No, he's in a meeting with Mr. Kline." She answered politely.
Phoebe just nodded and sat down in front of Sara's desk. Cole had already told her that he never had anything to do with Sara, they had just become friends with the time and nothing more, but Phoebe couldn't help but still feel uncomfortable around her, and it was a shame issue, she had been such a bitch with her, but who could blame her? Supposedly she was sleeping with her man, so she was the competition, she was the goal to her anger and she was jealous, deadly jealous.
'She must still hate me.' Sara thought and she could say it because even if it had been like a month since Cole and Phoebe had made up, she could feel a big wall between them.
So Phoebe kept staring at her for a while and then she just like she had to do something, she didn't know why, but she felt like it.
"So when will be the wedding?" Phoebe asked to break the ice.
"Three months..." She replied shyly and looked down, even if she was everything but never a shy person, but she felt really uncomfortable in that moment.
"And where…" She started and then cut herself.
"Look… I just…I'm sorry. I judged you and I have to confess that there was a time when I wanted to kill you, but it was because of Cole. I love him so much and I was…I was… you know-" She mumbled.
"Jealous?" Sara completed.
"Yes." Phoebe said.
"So if in any moment I made you feel bad or something, please don't take it on me." She said sincerely.
Sara just smiled and said: "Don't worry I know you really love him and I've come to appreciate him and I'm very happy for you guys. And maybe this will never be possible but it would be great if we can be friends."
"Why will it never be possible?" Phoebe questioned her knowing perfectly good the answer. "Yeah, alright it would be a little weird, but Cole's crazy you know, it was his fault."
Sara just laughed at this and then just nodded and agreed: "Yeah that's true, he's crazy."
And with this they both laughed.
"So what are you deciding? You seem kinda undecided…" She asked pointing to the catalogues and magazines.
"Oh… please, you have to help me, I need a female opinion. What do you think it could be for letters on the invitations, golden or silver?" Sara asked holding two invitation models.
"Well, the golden is classy, but the silver is different…definitely-" Phoebe said.
"Golden." they both at the same time and smiled at that.
They kept talking about things and wedding's tips until Cole came back and they were so deep in conversation of women's topic that they didn't even notice it when he came back. Since that day Phoebe and Sara started to grow closer and becoming friends.
***END OF THE FLASHBACK***
Cole and Phoebe kept reminding about all the good things they went through during the last two months. The truth was that everything had been perfect between them, except for the lack of time together, but, they were both happy and in love and they both loved to see the other happy and in love. Time passed as the memories came back and the bottle of champagne as long as one of wine was empty when they decided to get out of the restaurant.
Cole and Phoebe were trying to suppress their giggles as they went out of the restaurant. But Phoebe couldn't contain herself anymore and burst out laughing when Cole pinched her butt. They both laughed until they reached Cole's car.
Cole was looking for his keys as Phoebe was kissing him in the neck, teasing him with her tongue, as she was used to do and the way she knew he loved.
"Cole... You can't drive, I think you drank a little too much." Phoebe told him as she nearly lost her balance but grabbed Cole's sleeve to stay on her feet.
"Looks like I wasn't the only one." Cole told her and they both laughed.
"Why don't you shimmer us to the penthouse baby?" Phoebe asked as he was now Cole's turn to kiss her in the neck.
"Okay." Cole replied and they shimmered out.
When they reappeared, they were kissing, their eyes closed, passion growing between them.
When Phoebe pulled apart and looked around she exclaimed: "You shimmered us in the toilets Cole."
Cole looked around as well and they both start laughing on more time.
They went back into their previous activities and walked out of the toilets while kissing.
When they got to the penthouse again, they kept kissing and making out. As they were in the living room, doing an effort to get to the bedroom, they lost balance and fell in the floor. They didn't care they just kept kissing every time more passionately, hungrily and demanding. They started undressing each other, they couldn't get enough of the other, they hadn't been together since five long days before, so they really missed the other. He unbuttoned her blouse, took it away and threw it in the floor; she started to do the same to his shirt as he was pulling her pants down and were interrupted by Phoebe's cell phone.
"Damn it!" Phoebe said no stopping what she was doing.
They decided to just ignore the noise, but the ringing became insisting.
"Cole I think I should pick it up." She said breathless between kisses.
He just nodded but any of then made any move to do something about the damn and noisy phone. Phoebe started to look for her purse but she couldn't find it, of course it was hard when she had a hot guy over her kissing her and touching her everywhere, they could hear the ringing but couldn't find it. Phoebe struggled to pull Cole away from her, it took her all her strength to do that because the last thing she wanted was to be away from him. She wanted him to kiss her all over again. She stood up from the floor and Cole did as well and they kept kissing until Phoebe reached the phone.
"Cole… I have to… pick…" She mumbled to say as she moaned.
"Alright." He said still kissing her.
"Hello."
"Phoebe, it's me, Piper." Phoebe's older sister said.
The first thing Phoebe thought was: 'Oh, shit.'
"Yeah... huh... hi Piper, how are you doing?" Phoebe asked, doing her best not to moan from Cole sweet kisses. He couldn't stop kissing her, even if she was on the phone, even if PIPER was on the phone. He wanted her and he didn't care about her sisters. Phoebe was 'his' tonight, it was just the two of them, the sisters' problem couldn't interrupt them. It was not fair at all, they've been separate during 5 long days, now was the time for them to share some time together.
Cole's mouth finally left Phoebe's, but that was just to give him time to reach Phoebe's earlobe and to tease her.
Phoebe closed her eyes and she had to bit her bottom lip not to moan, she almost dropped the phone.
"There's a demon emergency." Piper harsh voice said, which brought Phoebe back to reality.
"Are... are you... sure you can't handle it with Paige?" She asked, as she went back to her job unbuttoning Cole's shirt with one hand, as the other was holding the phone.
"No, we can't, we tried to fight him but he's strong, we need the power of three. He's gone for the moment but Leo says he'll be back soon." Piper explained.
Cole slightly pulled away from Phoebe and whispered: "Maybe I should stop and let you talk with your sister."
He started to back up but Phoebe grabbed him by the belt and said: "Don't stop."
"What?!" Piper asked.
"I'm sorry Piper, I wasn't talking to you." Phoebe made up quickly.
"Who are you talking to then?" Piper asked suspiciously.
"Hmm... C…" she couldn't come out with anything, the only name she had in her mind right now was 'Cole'. Cole the guy she loved, Cole the hot guy who was kissing her all over her in that moment. "C… Ca… Carl, yeah, it's Carl, the sweet guy who… who…who cleans up everything here… at… at the paper, the Bay Mirror… you know, where I am right now." She made up trying to sound convincing. It was hard since he was still kissing her and touching everywhere in a way that made her want to scream, with joy, pleasure and passion.
"Oh, Phoebe, you work so hard on your column, you need some vacations." Piper said.
"I know." It was all Phoebe was able to answer because Cole was back with his damn hot kisses and his hands which seemed to be everywhere.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you honey, I know you're working very hard and it's never enjoyable to work that much at night, but you really have to go back home." Piper said.
"Now" Piper emphasized.
"Yeah... it's not really enjoyable... not at all." Phoebe replied and laughed nervously.
Cole took it for him, in fact, he knew that Phoebe wasn't talking about him, but he wanted to play with her a little. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, pressing her body against his.
Phoebe gasped and Piper immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... my... my… my p… pen just fell on the, on the floor." Phoebe made up with a shaking voice.
"I thought you were writing on your computer." Piper said.
"Yeah... I know... but.. but I like to…to… you know… draw when I'm on the phone." Phoebe lied once again.
During this time, Cole had fell on his knees and was kissing Phoebe's belly, teasing her badly.
"Whatever, we don't have a lot of time to talk, the demon will be back soon, you have to come back home. Do you want Paige or Leo to orb there and bring you back home?" Piper asked.
Cole was doing incredible things to her by the time, she couldn't concentrate on anything else than that.
"Phoebe?" Piper called her.
"Phoebe do you want me to send Paige or Leo to get you?" She asked again.
'Say something.' Phoebe told herself mentally.
'Anything. Oh god Cole… keep doing that.'
"Phoebe? Are you in there?" Piper asked again.
"No... no... thanks, I'll… I'll just… I'll just drive, Co… I mean… Carl will find it weird if I was disappearing this way." She said.
"Are you sure?" Piper insisted one more time.
"Yes!" She said out loud, almost like a pleasure scream, of course she had reasons to do that in that particular moment.
"Why are you talking like that?" Piper asked.
"I'm just tired." Phoebe said quickly.
"Yeah, you're right. You have to hurry up anyway, we're waiting for you." Piper said.
"Okay." Phoebe said and she quickly hung up and threw the cell phone to the floor to keep with their business. Phoebe pulled Cole to her one more time and they kissed deeply and passionately.
He broke apart for a few seconds to ask: "What happened?"
He kissed her again.
"Demon." She mumbled not breaking the kiss and running her hand through his hair.
"You have to go, don't you?" He asked and started to kiss her neck.
"Yeah" She whispered as she moaned.
"I'm gonna kill that bastard." He said still with his lips on her neck.
They kept touching each other in silence for a few more seconds.
"You think he will kill them if I go 5 or 10 minutes later?" She asked still running her hands through his hair as he still was kissing her but then he suddenly broke apart.
"You have to go." He said serious as he started to step back away from her.
She came closer again.
"I'll go in 10 minutes." She begged as she went to kiss him again.
"No, Phoebe, forget it. Go." He rejected her seriously and coldly as he started to put his clothes on again.
It wasn't because he didn't love her or want her at the moment, but because what was the point to keep going with something they wouldn't be able to finish? And it wasn't sex. No. It was the fact that they could do it quick, but then they couldn't stay in each other arms, just talking or caressing…he didn't want it that way.
"Baby…it's not my fault." She started as she started to get dressed as well.
"But why don't we-" She started but was cut off by him.
"No, Phoebe. The moment is gone. You gotta go to help your sisters." He said softly this time.
"Are you mad?" She asked.
"No." He simply said.
Of course he was mad. He was mad because it was not fair. It wasn't enough that they couldn't be together, but those little moments they could they were interrupted.
"I'll make it up to you, baby. I promise." She said as she gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said and kissed her passionately and broke apart.
"I have to go." She said sadly and disappointed.
"That's okay baby, I know it's not your fault." Cole said, seeing that she was feeling bad.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at the fact that we can't share enough time together, and when we can finally be together, something breaks us apart." He added.
Phoebe didn't talk, she just rested her head on his chest for a moment, wrapping her arms around him. Cole kissed her on the forehead and said: "You have to go."
She nodded and he kissed her, but his kiss was different, it wasn't full of lust and passion like those they had shared before, it was a very sweet kiss. And without breaking this kiss, he shimmered to her car, so she could get to the Manor.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"I'm home!" Phoebe yelled from the door.
"Finally!" Piper angrily yelled back .
"What happened?" Phoebe asked as she was hanging her coat.
"Demon came, attacked us, and burned out my hair straighter." Paige said with disappointment.
"Paige, you don't have a hair straighter." Phoebe replied coldly.
"Opps! Ok, the demon came and burned out your hair straighter." Paige explained with an afraid expression.
"Where have you been?" Piper asked suspicious as she came closer to Phoebe.
"I…uh…I..." Phoebe managed, but nothing came out.
She was kinda slow in that moment, it seemed like the road while the driving had made the alcohol to affect her.
"Phoebe I called you 25 minutes ago. What took you so long?" Piper kept questioning.
"Geez Piper, it's obvious she's been working extra hours with this Carl guy." Paige commented and Phoebe gave her a killer look.
"I mean, look at her." Paige referred to the buttons of her shirt, which weren't on the right holds, her messy hair and very red face.
"I was not!" Was the only reply that came out from Phoebe.
Piper came even closer to Phoebe and smelled something.
"Phoebe have you been drinking?" She slowly asked.
"No". She replied quickly.
"Phoebe, you weren't at work, were you?" Piper started. "You lied to us, why did you lie to us?" She reclaimed raising her voice.
"Piper, I'm a grown up, I don't have to explain myself to you." She threw.
"Phoebe..." Piper started.
Phoebe had seen it coming, Piper would start to lecture her about her lately behavior, but was cut off by the demon attack.
The ugly demon blinked in front of the girls. Piper tried to blow him up but it was in vain, it looked like he was immune to her power.
"Paige, do you have the potion?" Piper asked in a frightened tone.
"Yeah." Paige replied but the demon threw an energy ball at her.
He smiled and walked towards Phoebe who tried to kick him but fell on the floor due to her 'almost drunk' state.
"Oopps... Ouch..." She said.
Meanwhile, Paige had got up and threw the potion at the demon. Piper and Paige walked towards Phoebe and handed her the spell to vanquish the demon. They all read it and the demon burst into flames.
"Wow, that was close." Phoebe said with a smile.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Piper yelled.
"We almost got ourselves killed." She added with the same tone.
"Yeah, but we're still alive, now will you excuse me, I want to have a shower and get some sleep." Phoebe replied.
"Oh, I get it, you're exhausted from your 'extra' work." Piper told her.
Phoebe rolled her eyes and said: "I already told you that I'm a grown up and I can do what I want."
Piper sighed and said: "Listen Pheebs, I just want to take care about you, you know. And the fact that you drink alcohol, isn't good for you. And why are you lying to us?"
It was Phoebe's turn to sighed.
"Okay, I'll explain everything." She said.
"It's true that I lied to you, but that was only for tonight, I promise." She lied.
"The others night, I was really working at the paper." She added.
"And tonight, I was having a date with Co.... Carl, and I didn't want to tell you about him because you would have started asking questions, which is what you just did by the way." She continued. "We went to the restaurant and made out, but, he's not really my type." She said.
"I told you." Paige said with a victorious smile.
"Phoebe, you can't keep with this life", Piper started, "You just go to work, eat at work, sleep at work… everything is work; then you just go out once in a while, have a one-nighter and then dump the guy. Phoebe is not healthy… that's not life", she told her
"It's my life!", Phoebe quickly and angrily cut her off
"Phoebe, you have to get your life back. You can't keep like this, I mean, how has it been 3 or 4 months?? Then before you notice it, it'll have been 3 years, and then 13 and then it'll have been 30!", Piper said with tears in her eyes, she was really concerned about her sister
"Piper calm down", Paige intervened
"Look Piper, I know you're concerned about me, but you have to let me live my life. I get your point,,, but you have to understand that it's not easy after all I've gone through, I'll be fine", Phoebe said. She was feeling really guilty because she was one more time lying to her sisters. Piper was trying to help her and was really concerned about her, and she was just hiding the fact that she was happier than always. These last months have been the best time ever for her, she was with the guy she loved.
"Phoebe, I know it's hard for you, but you can't lose and waste your life like this", Piper said
"Honey, just remember we're here for you and that you can talk to us whenever you feel like to", Paige added with a smile
'I can't tell them. I can't tell them', Phoebe thought, she felt even more gulty; "Don't worry you guys I'll be fine", she said and she meant it, deep down she knew that with Cole she would always be fine. "Can I go to the bathroom now?" Phoebe asked.
Piper nodded and Paige said: "She's dating again."
Phoebe looked at her and said: "You owe me a hair straighter, don't forget that sis."
With that she walked upstairs in the bathroom.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Phoebe went out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her and walked in her room. The shower had been very relaxing but still, she had Cole in mind. She was really upset because of the fact that they hadn't been able to finish what they started and now, who knows when they'll have the opportunity to meet again. She opened her door room and stepped in. She felt someone grabbing her from behind. She gasped and recognized this familiar scent.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, whispering.
"Shh..." Cole replied, kissing her neck and shoulders.
"We can't do it here Cole, my sisters will hear us." Phoebe told him.
"Shh..." Cole replied again, still kissing her.
Phoebe closed her eyes and rested her back on his chest, enjoying then awesome work of his lips and hands but suddenly, Cole stopped. She opened her eyes and let out a protesting sigh. Cole locked the door and grabbed Phoebe's hand and led her to the bed. They both laid down under the covers and Phoebe snuggled up to Cole.
"As much as I'd love and want to make love to you, I know we can't do it here, but I need to spend some time with you." He whispered in Phoebe's ear, caressing her side with his hand.
Phoebe nodded and Cole added: "I know it's a bit risky but it's driving me crazy to not be able to hold you in my arms every night, to watch you sleep and be with you when you wake up."
Phoebe smiled and kissed him.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you." He replied in the same whisper.
She closed her eyes and Cole watched her sleep all night long.

So guys…what do you think??? Any suggestions or ideas for the sequel??? Please you know what you have to do...
Now relax and enjoy of:
"Hiding Cole Desperately"
Chapter 1
"Two months of playing Hide and Seek"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Hey baby." Phoebe said through the phone. She was in her office, but she needed a break from work and nothing was better than Cole to distract her, what could be better than the guy of your dreams telling you sweet words through the phone?
"Hey my love." Cole replied to her.
"How was your day honey?" She asked.
"Quite boring, worked much, thought about you a lot." He answered.
" I thought about you too, actually, that's why I'm calling you" She told him.
"Really?" He asked.
"Huh-uh, I want to see you today." She said. "I need to see you today." She emphasized.
"Well, I have an idea that could work." He started.
"I'm listening, I'm up to everything that has to do with you." She replied with a seductive tone. Cole loved this very special tone of her, the one which made his heart melt.
"What about a romantic dinner in a romantic restaurant, just the two of us?" He proposed.
Their problem was that they weren't able to see each other that much, because of their secret, because Phoebe's sisters couldn't find out about them otherwise, it would be the end of their relationship and that was the last thing they wanted to happen. Phoebe couldn't go out every night without telling her sisters where she was, and they could be really curious and annoying at times and more when it comes about secret's-lives'-details, so Phoebe realized they would become too suspicious. So, Phoebe was spending one evening with Cole each week, lying to her sisters about this deadline and the fact she had to work on her column. One time, she had fallen asleep in Cole's arms and didn't get back home and of course her sisters had noticed it, so she told them that she had fallen asleep in her office while she was working on her column. But in a way, that was good for their relationship because the lack of time together were turning their meetings in loving, hot and passionate encounters. It reminded her of the times when Cole was hiding from the source and running away from bounty hunters. A time when they barely had time to be with each other; in that time was like: hello; the classy 'I missed you' passionately kiss; 'I love you'; then make love, if they had time, and of course they always made time for it; then 'I love you and I'll be back'. That was their relationship at the moment, and now was kinda the same, but with the difference that they had to hide because Phoebe's sisters couldn't know it and now they had reached to a different level in their relationship, it was more important to share and be with the other than the sex itself. Of course that the lack of time could accumulate a lot of sexual tension between then, and they gladly to work it out, but that didn't change the fact that the main goal was just to be together, in any way, not just physically, but also emotionally.
"Sounds interesting." She said.
"Uh, just wait until desert." He softly said.
"Oh, I don't think I'll have problems with the waiting unlike other persons I know..." She played.
"That's not fair." He said acting hurt, it was just to follow the game.
"Will you be patient enough to wait until dessert?" She asked
"I won't be if I'll have you for dessert." He answered.
They both smiled and Phoebe said: "Well, maybe you could pick me up at the Paper's parking lot around 7, what do you think?"
"It's okay, but what about your sisters?" He said.
"I told them I had to work on my column and that I wouldn't be home until midnight." She replied.
"So, midnight and my princess will have to disappear again, right?" He told her with sadness in his voice.
"Yeah baby, but the good thing is that I won't turn into a maid, but if you want I'll forget one of my shoes and the next day you could come to the manor and try it on my sisters." She told him with a small laugh.
"There is no way for me to go to the manor." He replied seriously.
"I know honey, so you pick me up at 7?" She told him.
"Sure, I love you." He replied.
"I love you too, bye." Phoebe said before hanging up the phone.
As Cole hung up the phone, he smiled and sighed with relief, he was finally going to see Phoebe, he was missing her so much that it was unbearable. He was dying to kiss her, to touch her... but that wasn't just that, he wanted to share some time with her, do normal things as a normal couple is suppose to do, watch TV in each others arms, going shopping, sleeping late, having a picnic following by a long afternoon of making out in a park, walking hands to hands in the streets...
All those things were forbidden for them, they couldn't get the risk to get caught, because they were afraid that if they got caught they would have a sad ending one more time.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It was 7 o'clock when Phoebe arrived in the parking lot. Of course, Cole was already waiting for her. They both smiled when they saw the other. Phoebe quickly walked towards Cole and she wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his hands around her waist. Their lips met in a huge passionate kiss as Phoebe pressed her body against Cole's.
" I missed you so much baby." Cole told her, almost breathless once they broke apart.
"Kiss me again then." Phoebe replied with a smile that Cole found damn beautiful and sexy.
He didn't wait one more second to do as he was told and quickly kissed her, sliding his hands under her blouse and caressing the smooth skin of her back and of her sides as his kiss became more passionate and more demanding.
Phoebe smiled and she pulled away from him, removing his hand from under her blouse and she told him: "Hold on Mr. Turner, you'll have to wait until dessert."
Cole smiled and asked: "You know, this time for a change, I'd like to start by dessert."
"That would be great but since I had to finish my column today before I met you and I was pretty late, I didn't even take lunch, so I'm pretty hungry now." She told him.
"What about we go home and I make you a huge sandwich?" He proposed.
Phoebe shrugged and said: "I really wanted that romantic dinner with you, you know."
Cole smiled and pulled her against him and he said: "I was kidding, I will never let you eat a simple sandwich after an hard day at work."
She smiled back at him and he added: "After dinner, what about a hot bath with candles?"
She rested her forehead on his chest and told him: "You really know me, you know what I want and what I need, don't you?"
Cole kissed her on the top of the head and said: "That's why you love me, don't you?"
"I love you for thousand reasons Cole Turner." She replied as she raised her head to look in his beautiful blue eyes.
Once again he kissed her passionately.
When he pulled apart, Phoebe was smiling even more and told him: "Let's go, I don't want us to be late."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
About half an hour later, Cole and Phoebe were sitting at the table in a romantic restaurant with candles. When Cole called the restaurant for the reservations, he asked for a table that would give them some privacy, that's why Phoebe and him were in a little corner of the restaurant and people could barely see them.
"Uh-uh." Cole asked for her attention.
"Miss Halliwell, may I ask your attention for minute?" He asked with a delightful smile.
"That depends of what you're gonna try this time?" She replied playfully.
"I'm serious." He said and she nodded.
"I want to propose a toast." He started as he raised his cup.
In this occasion they were drinking a very expensive champagne because this worth it.
"A toast? What for?" She asked.
"Us." He replied with a big smile.
"For 'Us' then." She said and they both clicked the cups and took a sip of the champagne. "Incredible isn't it?" She started.
"What?" He replied.
"It's been two months since we got together again." She continued.
"Yeah, and I could say these last two months have been the best time ever." He expressed.
"Yeah, it's really been the best." She added.
"And how hard was it for me to get you back." He said sarcastically.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked back, "What about me?"
"Yeah, it should have been hard to stop yourself to try to turn me on to get me in your bed and to stop yourself from stalking me, oh... wait, you didn't.." Cole said, giving her his best smile.
"That's not fair." She Phoebe replied.
"What was not fair? You hanging around the penthouse wearing sexy and hot underwear?" He teased her again.
Phoebe sighed and Cole decided to stop teasing her and he said more seriously: "We have to thanks Sara, we wouldn't be here together without her."
Phoebe nodded and said: "She's been really awesome on this one, her plan to bring us back together worked like a charm."
"I remember the time when you were calling her a B4, Big Boobs Blond Bitch, is that right?" He started to tease her again.
"What else could you expect? I thought you were sleeping with her!" Phoebe exclaimed.
Cole let out a small laugh and she said: "Hopefully, we worked this out, we're really good friends now."
"Yeah, I remember the first time you meet and really talk together, what it was about anyway?
"It was about the invitations for the wedding, which will be in one month", she replied
***FLASHBACK ***
One day Phoebe came to Cole's office but he was in a meeting so she had to wait for him, meanwhile Sara was looking at some catalogues because she was deciding some details for the wedding.
"Is Cole there?" Phoebe asked avoiding eye contact.
"No, he's in a meeting with Mr. Kline." She answered politely.
Phoebe just nodded and sat down in front of Sara's desk. Cole had already told her that he never had anything to do with Sara, they had just become friends with the time and nothing more, but Phoebe couldn't help but still feel uncomfortable around her, and it was a shame issue, she had been such a bitch with her, but who could blame her? Supposedly she was sleeping with her man, so she was the competition, she was the goal to her anger and she was jealous, deadly jealous.
'She must still hate me.' Sara thought and she could say it because even if it had been like a month since Cole and Phoebe had made up, she could feel a big wall between them.
So Phoebe kept staring at her for a while and then she just like she had to do something, she didn't know why, but she felt like it.
"So when will be the wedding?" Phoebe asked to break the ice.
"Three months..." She replied shyly and looked down, even if she was everything but never a shy person, but she felt really uncomfortable in that moment.
"And where…" She started and then cut herself.
"Look… I just…I'm sorry. I judged you and I have to confess that there was a time when I wanted to kill you, but it was because of Cole. I love him so much and I was…I was… you know-" She mumbled.
"Jealous?" Sara completed.
"Yes." Phoebe said.
"So if in any moment I made you feel bad or something, please don't take it on me." She said sincerely.
Sara just smiled and said: "Don't worry I know you really love him and I've come to appreciate him and I'm very happy for you guys. And maybe this will never be possible but it would be great if we can be friends."
"Why will it never be possible?" Phoebe questioned her knowing perfectly good the answer. "Yeah, alright it would be a little weird, but Cole's crazy you know, it was his fault."
Sara just laughed at this and then just nodded and agreed: "Yeah that's true, he's crazy."
And with this they both laughed.
"So what are you deciding? You seem kinda undecided…" She asked pointing to the catalogues and magazines.
"Oh… please, you have to help me, I need a female opinion. What do you think it could be for letters on the invitations, golden or silver?" Sara asked holding two invitation models.
"Well, the golden is classy, but the silver is different…definitely-" Phoebe said.
"Golden." they both at the same time and smiled at that.
They kept talking about things and wedding's tips until Cole came back and they were so deep in conversation of women's topic that they didn't even notice it when he came back. Since that day Phoebe and Sara started to grow closer and becoming friends.
***END OF THE FLASHBACK***
Cole and Phoebe kept reminding about all the good things they went through during the last two months. The truth was that everything had been perfect between them, except for the lack of time together, but, they were both happy and in love and they both loved to see the other happy and in love. Time passed as the memories came back and the bottle of champagne as long as one of wine was empty when they decided to get out of the restaurant.
Cole and Phoebe were trying to suppress their giggles as they went out of the restaurant. But Phoebe couldn't contain herself anymore and burst out laughing when Cole pinched her butt. They both laughed until they reached Cole's car.
Cole was looking for his keys as Phoebe was kissing him in the neck, teasing him with her tongue, as she was used to do and the way she knew he loved.
"Cole... You can't drive, I think you drank a little too much." Phoebe told him as she nearly lost her balance but grabbed Cole's sleeve to stay on her feet.
"Looks like I wasn't the only one." Cole told her and they both laughed.
"Why don't you shimmer us to the penthouse baby?" Phoebe asked as he was now Cole's turn to kiss her in the neck.
"Okay." Cole replied and they shimmered out.
When they reappeared, they were kissing, their eyes closed, passion growing between them.
When Phoebe pulled apart and looked around she exclaimed: "You shimmered us in the toilets Cole."
Cole looked around as well and they both start laughing on more time.
They went back into their previous activities and walked out of the toilets while kissing.
When they got to the penthouse again, they kept kissing and making out. As they were in the living room, doing an effort to get to the bedroom, they lost balance and fell in the floor. They didn't care they just kept kissing every time more passionately, hungrily and demanding. They started undressing each other, they couldn't get enough of the other, they hadn't been together since five long days before, so they really missed the other. He unbuttoned her blouse, took it away and threw it in the floor; she started to do the same to his shirt as he was pulling her pants down and were interrupted by Phoebe's cell phone.
"Damn it!" Phoebe said no stopping what she was doing.
They decided to just ignore the noise, but the ringing became insisting.
"Cole I think I should pick it up." She said breathless between kisses.
He just nodded but any of then made any move to do something about the damn and noisy phone. Phoebe started to look for her purse but she couldn't find it, of course it was hard when she had a hot guy over her kissing her and touching her everywhere, they could hear the ringing but couldn't find it. Phoebe struggled to pull Cole away from her, it took her all her strength to do that because the last thing she wanted was to be away from him. She wanted him to kiss her all over again. She stood up from the floor and Cole did as well and they kept kissing until Phoebe reached the phone.
"Cole… I have to… pick…" She mumbled to say as she moaned.
"Alright." He said still kissing her.
"Hello."
"Phoebe, it's me, Piper." Phoebe's older sister said.
The first thing Phoebe thought was: 'Oh, shit.'
"Yeah... huh... hi Piper, how are you doing?" Phoebe asked, doing her best not to moan from Cole sweet kisses. He couldn't stop kissing her, even if she was on the phone, even if PIPER was on the phone. He wanted her and he didn't care about her sisters. Phoebe was 'his' tonight, it was just the two of them, the sisters' problem couldn't interrupt them. It was not fair at all, they've been separate during 5 long days, now was the time for them to share some time together.
Cole's mouth finally left Phoebe's, but that was just to give him time to reach Phoebe's earlobe and to tease her.
Phoebe closed her eyes and she had to bit her bottom lip not to moan, she almost dropped the phone.
"There's a demon emergency." Piper harsh voice said, which brought Phoebe back to reality.
"Are... are you... sure you can't handle it with Paige?" She asked, as she went back to her job unbuttoning Cole's shirt with one hand, as the other was holding the phone.
"No, we can't, we tried to fight him but he's strong, we need the power of three. He's gone for the moment but Leo says he'll be back soon." Piper explained.
Cole slightly pulled away from Phoebe and whispered: "Maybe I should stop and let you talk with your sister."
He started to back up but Phoebe grabbed him by the belt and said: "Don't stop."
"What?!" Piper asked.
"I'm sorry Piper, I wasn't talking to you." Phoebe made up quickly.
"Who are you talking to then?" Piper asked suspiciously.
"Hmm... C…" she couldn't come out with anything, the only name she had in her mind right now was 'Cole'. Cole the guy she loved, Cole the hot guy who was kissing her all over her in that moment. "C… Ca… Carl, yeah, it's Carl, the sweet guy who… who…who cleans up everything here… at… at the paper, the Bay Mirror… you know, where I am right now." She made up trying to sound convincing. It was hard since he was still kissing her and touching everywhere in a way that made her want to scream, with joy, pleasure and passion.
"Oh, Phoebe, you work so hard on your column, you need some vacations." Piper said.
"I know." It was all Phoebe was able to answer because Cole was back with his damn hot kisses and his hands which seemed to be everywhere.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you honey, I know you're working very hard and it's never enjoyable to work that much at night, but you really have to go back home." Piper said.
"Now" Piper emphasized.
"Yeah... it's not really enjoyable... not at all." Phoebe replied and laughed nervously.
Cole took it for him, in fact, he knew that Phoebe wasn't talking about him, but he wanted to play with her a little. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, pressing her body against his.
Phoebe gasped and Piper immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... my... my… my p… pen just fell on the, on the floor." Phoebe made up with a shaking voice.
"I thought you were writing on your computer." Piper said.
"Yeah... I know... but.. but I like to…to… you know… draw when I'm on the phone." Phoebe lied once again.
During this time, Cole had fell on his knees and was kissing Phoebe's belly, teasing her badly.
"Whatever, we don't have a lot of time to talk, the demon will be back soon, you have to come back home. Do you want Paige or Leo to orb there and bring you back home?" Piper asked.
Cole was doing incredible things to her by the time, she couldn't concentrate on anything else than that.
"Phoebe?" Piper called her.
"Phoebe do you want me to send Paige or Leo to get you?" She asked again.
'Say something.' Phoebe told herself mentally.
'Anything. Oh god Cole… keep doing that.'
"Phoebe? Are you in there?" Piper asked again.
"No... no... thanks, I'll… I'll just… I'll just drive, Co… I mean… Carl will find it weird if I was disappearing this way." She said.
"Are you sure?" Piper insisted one more time.
"Yes!" She said out loud, almost like a pleasure scream, of course she had reasons to do that in that particular moment.
"Why are you talking like that?" Piper asked.
"I'm just tired." Phoebe said quickly.
"Yeah, you're right. You have to hurry up anyway, we're waiting for you." Piper said.
"Okay." Phoebe said and she quickly hung up and threw the cell phone to the floor to keep with their business. Phoebe pulled Cole to her one more time and they kissed deeply and passionately.
He broke apart for a few seconds to ask: "What happened?"
He kissed her again.
"Demon." She mumbled not breaking the kiss and running her hand through his hair.
"You have to go, don't you?" He asked and started to kiss her neck.
"Yeah" She whispered as she moaned.
"I'm gonna kill that bastard." He said still with his lips on her neck.
They kept touching each other in silence for a few more seconds.
"You think he will kill them if I go 5 or 10 minutes later?" She asked still running her hands through his hair as he still was kissing her but then he suddenly broke apart.
"You have to go." He said serious as he started to step back away from her.
She came closer again.
"I'll go in 10 minutes." She begged as she went to kiss him again.
"No, Phoebe, forget it. Go." He rejected her seriously and coldly as he started to put his clothes on again.
It wasn't because he didn't love her or want her at the moment, but because what was the point to keep going with something they wouldn't be able to finish? And it wasn't sex. No. It was the fact that they could do it quick, but then they couldn't stay in each other arms, just talking or caressing…he didn't want it that way.
"Baby…it's not my fault." She started as she started to get dressed as well.
"But why don't we-" She started but was cut off by him.
"No, Phoebe. The moment is gone. You gotta go to help your sisters." He said softly this time.
"Are you mad?" She asked.
"No." He simply said.
Of course he was mad. He was mad because it was not fair. It wasn't enough that they couldn't be together, but those little moments they could they were interrupted.
"I'll make it up to you, baby. I promise." She said as she gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said and kissed her passionately and broke apart.
"I have to go." She said sadly and disappointed.
"That's okay baby, I know it's not your fault." Cole said, seeing that she was feeling bad.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at the fact that we can't share enough time together, and when we can finally be together, something breaks us apart." He added.
Phoebe didn't talk, she just rested her head on his chest for a moment, wrapping her arms around him. Cole kissed her on the forehead and said: "You have to go."
She nodded and he kissed her, but his kiss was different, it wasn't full of lust and passion like those they had shared before, it was a very sweet kiss. And without breaking this kiss, he shimmered to her car, so she could get to the Manor.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"I'm home!" Phoebe yelled from the door.
"Finally!" Piper angrily yelled back .
"What happened?" Phoebe asked as she was hanging her coat.
"Demon came, attacked us, and burned out my hair straighter." Paige said with disappointment.
"Paige, you don't have a hair straighter." Phoebe replied coldly.
"Opps! Ok, the demon came and burned out your hair straighter." Paige explained with an afraid expression.
"Where have you been?" Piper asked suspicious as she came closer to Phoebe.
"I…uh…I..." Phoebe managed, but nothing came out.
She was kinda slow in that moment, it seemed like the road while the driving had made the alcohol to affect her.
"Phoebe I called you 25 minutes ago. What took you so long?" Piper kept questioning.
"Geez Piper, it's obvious she's been working extra hours with this Carl guy." Paige commented and Phoebe gave her a killer look.
"I mean, look at her." Paige referred to the buttons of her shirt, which weren't on the right holds, her messy hair and very red face.
"I was not!" Was the only reply that came out from Phoebe.
Piper came even closer to Phoebe and smelled something.
"Phoebe have you been drinking?" She slowly asked.
"No". She replied quickly.
"Phoebe, you weren't at work, were you?" Piper started. "You lied to us, why did you lie to us?" She reclaimed raising her voice.
"Piper, I'm a grown up, I don't have to explain myself to you." She threw.
"Phoebe..." Piper started.
Phoebe had seen it coming, Piper would start to lecture her about her lately behavior, but was cut off by the demon attack.
The ugly demon blinked in front of the girls. Piper tried to blow him up but it was in vain, it looked like he was immune to her power.
"Paige, do you have the potion?" Piper asked in a frightened tone.
"Yeah." Paige replied but the demon threw an energy ball at her.
He smiled and walked towards Phoebe who tried to kick him but fell on the floor due to her 'almost drunk' state.
"Oopps... Ouch..." She said.
Meanwhile, Paige had got up and threw the potion at the demon. Piper and Paige walked towards Phoebe and handed her the spell to vanquish the demon. They all read it and the demon burst into flames.
"Wow, that was close." Phoebe said with a smile.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Piper yelled.
"We almost got ourselves killed." She added with the same tone.
"Yeah, but we're still alive, now will you excuse me, I want to have a shower and get some sleep." Phoebe replied.
"Oh, I get it, you're exhausted from your 'extra' work." Piper told her.
Phoebe rolled her eyes and said: "I already told you that I'm a grown up and I can do what I want."
Piper sighed and said: "Listen Pheebs, I just want to take care about you, you know. And the fact that you drink alcohol, isn't good for you. And why are you lying to us?"
It was Phoebe's turn to sighed.
"Okay, I'll explain everything." She said.
"It's true that I lied to you, but that was only for tonight, I promise." She lied.
"The others night, I was really working at the paper." She added.
"And tonight, I was having a date with Co.... Carl, and I didn't want to tell you about him because you would have started asking questions, which is what you just did by the way." She continued. "We went to the restaurant and made out, but, he's not really my type." She said.
"I told you." Paige said with a victorious smile.
"Phoebe, you can't keep with this life", Piper started, "You just go to work, eat at work, sleep at work… everything is work; then you just go out once in a while, have a one-nighter and then dump the guy. Phoebe is not healthy… that's not life", she told her
"It's my life!", Phoebe quickly and angrily cut her off
"Phoebe, you have to get your life back. You can't keep like this, I mean, how has it been 3 or 4 months?? Then before you notice it, it'll have been 3 years, and then 13 and then it'll have been 30!", Piper said with tears in her eyes, she was really concerned about her sister
"Piper calm down", Paige intervened
"Look Piper, I know you're concerned about me, but you have to let me live my life. I get your point,,, but you have to understand that it's not easy after all I've gone through, I'll be fine", Phoebe said. She was feeling really guilty because she was one more time lying to her sisters. Piper was trying to help her and was really concerned about her, and she was just hiding the fact that she was happier than always. These last months have been the best time ever for her, she was with the guy she loved.
"Phoebe, I know it's hard for you, but you can't lose and waste your life like this", Piper said
"Honey, just remember we're here for you and that you can talk to us whenever you feel like to", Paige added with a smile
'I can't tell them. I can't tell them', Phoebe thought, she felt even more gulty; "Don't worry you guys I'll be fine", she said and she meant it, deep down she knew that with Cole she would always be fine. "Can I go to the bathroom now?" Phoebe asked.
Piper nodded and Paige said: "She's dating again."
Phoebe looked at her and said: "You owe me a hair straighter, don't forget that sis."
With that she walked upstairs in the bathroom.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Phoebe went out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her and walked in her room. The shower had been very relaxing but still, she had Cole in mind. She was really upset because of the fact that they hadn't been able to finish what they started and now, who knows when they'll have the opportunity to meet again. She opened her door room and stepped in. She felt someone grabbing her from behind. She gasped and recognized this familiar scent.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, whispering.
"Shh..." Cole replied, kissing her neck and shoulders.
"We can't do it here Cole, my sisters will hear us." Phoebe told him.
"Shh..." Cole replied again, still kissing her.
Phoebe closed her eyes and rested her back on his chest, enjoying then awesome work of his lips and hands but suddenly, Cole stopped. She opened her eyes and let out a protesting sigh. Cole locked the door and grabbed Phoebe's hand and led her to the bed. They both laid down under the covers and Phoebe snuggled up to Cole.
"As much as I'd love and want to make love to you, I know we can't do it here, but I need to spend some time with you." He whispered in Phoebe's ear, caressing her side with his hand.
Phoebe nodded and Cole added: "I know it's a bit risky but it's driving me crazy to not be able to hold you in my arms every night, to watch you sleep and be with you when you wake up."
Phoebe smiled and kissed him.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you." He replied in the same whisper.
She closed her eyes and Cole watched her sleep all night long.
