Chpt. 1
Cole came downstairs to the club. He was angry, but he didn't show it. Phoebe saw him and came up to him.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly." Nothing you can supply." Said Cole nastily. "Why didn't you give me the divorce papers yourself?"
"I want nothing to do with you." Phoebe said, crossing her arms.
Cole looked at where she was sitting. A guy was waiting impatiently.
"Just sign the papers so we can move on." Said Phoebe.
"Fine." snapped Cole.
He started to walk away.
"We couldn't make it work." cried Phoebe.
Cole walked out of the club angrily. He went into the alleyway and threw an energy ball at a trashcan. Then he picked it up and threw it.
"Are you okay?" asked a woman.
Cole looked up and saw a beautiful woman with long black hair and emerald eyes. She was wearing a lime green dress.
"You shouldn't be here." said Cole.
"But." said the woman.
"Go!" shouted Cole.
"Whatever." Said the woman, stomping off.
Cole felt like crap and continued to his car.
The next afternoon
Cole got up from one of his hangovers. He missed work, again. He groaned and got up. There was a vodka bottle on the floor. He stood up and went to the shower. He took a shower and got dressed. He was hungry and it was a beautiful day, so he decided to go out and eat. After driving around he found a small restaurant and parked. He went inside boredly and was seated by the window. Cole stared out the window and saw the woman from last night, walk in. He turned around. She was holding a book and was by herself.
"Excuse me." said Cole.
The woman looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry about last night." said Cole. "Can I treat you to lunch?"
"Ok" said the woman. She sat down.
"My name is Cole Turner." said Cole.
"Melanie Rogers." said Melanie. "I can't believe you don't remember me."
Cole looked at her confusedly.
"Never mind." said Melanie. "I want to keep you guessing."
The waiter came by and they ordered their food.
"Excuse me." said Melanie. She got up and went to the bathroom. Cole saw Phoebe walk through the arch. She was with Paige.
"I can't believe this." Phoebe said walking up to his table.
"What is your problem?" asked Cole.
"You're stalking me." said Phoebe.
"Cole, get a life." said Paige.
"Stay out of this raggedy ann." said Cole.
Paige frowned and pulled at her red hair.
"Cole, move on already." said Phoebe.
"He has." said Melanie. "I'm his date."
Phoebe's eyes went wide.
"Vicious ex-wife thing you got going ain't cute." said Melanie. She turned to Paige. "And you, red hair is not for everyone."
Cole couldn't help but snicker. Melanie grabbed Cole's hand.
"Come on." said Melanie. "The company here sucks."
With that she and Cole left leaving Paige and Phoebe with their mouths open. Cole and Melanie started laughing as soon as they got outside. Cole was turning purple.
"Wow." said Cole. "You were awesome. How did you know she was my ex-wife?"
"Watching soap operas will give you that intuition." said Melanie.
"Anything I can do to repay you." said Cole.
"Take me on a real date." said Melanie.
Cole stopped laughing. "Seriously?"
He liked Melanie and she seemed good for him, but he didn't want to put her in danger.
"My life is complicated and I'm going through a divorce." he half lied.
"Oh, ok." Said Melanie, hurt.
"How about we get to know each other more." said Cole.
"I don't want to rush." said Melanie. "Don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."
"I'll see you around then." said Cole. "Thanks for bailing me out."
Melanie walked away, leaving her vanilla scent. Cole was feeling regret. He felt like he knew her.
"Who was that girl?" asked Cole.
