Strange Encounter

Phoebe stepped out of the shower and walked through into her bedroom; she looked around and wondered where Cole had got to with him no where in sight she got dressed, dressing only in a black satin night dress. She looked in the mirror and then smiled mischievously to herself. Then set upon looking for her missing husband.

She walked down the winding stairs into kitchen and then the front room still no sign of him. She shook her head after their baby agreement, he didn't really talk about it she actually thought he was trying to avoid the situation but she didn't really want put them in an awkward place again so she would just keep it to herself for now. Phoebe turned the corner of the room and bumped into Cole who was moving at a fast.

"I guess you're not in a rush" she said pushing him back with her hands, he looked down momentarily confused then smiled a boyish smile.
"No of course not, where would I be going with my beautiful wife here" he said charmingly, Phoebe rolled her eyes playfully at him his charm might as well of been a crime.
"Where you going" she finally asked stepping closer to him and placing her hands lightly on his chest , he stretched both his arms above his head leaning back slightly before answering

"I think I was going to make a phone call" he said, she looked at him

"You think"

"You did bump into me hard" he over exaggerated, ok the playful side people didn't see. She smiled sweetly at him he looked at her suspiciously. She traced her fingers up and down then tip-toed slightly and kissed him seductively biting softly on his lip
"Think about that" she said seductively, Cole took all of five seconds to respond. She gripped his shirt as he bit her neck sending a painful pleasure around her system. They shimmered into their room with Cole undressing them both. They fell down and passionate love to each other.

Phoebe rolled over onto Cole's chest he stretched his arms came up around the small of her back. "Hmmm now if only you didn't have to pick up the phone" she predicted her powers of premonition had developed immensely just little events like the phone ringing she could tap into if she really wanted to but most of the time decided not to. Her powers of empathy failed on Cole she couldn't read his emotions , piper had said it was a good thing " why would you want to know what he's thinking all the time it defeats the objective of having a husband better yet a demon for a husband" were her exact words. It wasn't that she wanted to know what he was thinking all the time just some of the time that wasn't so bad was it. Cole looked at her then his phone did ring. She received a sceptical look from him and she just pulled a face as he stretched to reach the phone. Maybe she should move but she didn't actually want him to pick it up so she decided against it. He didn't get it and the phone went to answer machine, she smiled triumphantly.

Cole listened to the message being left,
"Mr Turner I am calling to inform you that your Mr Quint wishes to introduce to a new member of his team, he has scheduled a meeting for 5pm tomorrow afternoon thank and hope you can make it".

Cole yawned "How fun" he said dryly, Phoebe laughed Cole enjoyed his work as much as she enjoyed hearing Elise ramble on about this event and that event.

Cole smirked at her, she didn't like the look he gave her

"What"

"Your coming" he simply told her, she raised her eyebrows at him telling him he was dreaming she was in no mood to sit through one of his boring business meetings.

"Baby as much I love you and I do love you, you're on your own I am not sitting through some boring and I stress the word boring meeting while those old men talk about this partner and that it worse than listen to Prue bang on about demon buddies" she smiled , Cole poked her back

"That's not true, your dinner events are boring your own people fall asleep" they both laughed and Cole started to kiss her

"I don't wanna go" she wined into his mouth a couple minutes of soft caresses and kisses and Phoebe found herself booked for the evening.

Phoebe casted her eyes up the collection of white orbs that entered. Leo looked down at her and smiled

"More demons" Phoebe asked him, he shook his head knowingly. Cole would have to wait she thought as she picked up her bag and exited with Leo.

Cole looked around while Quint and his associates babbled mindless information to him, these old men hung onto their business empires which inevitable Cole was going to take from them. He smiled at the thought of one of these men actually out witting him. The one character out of the group that had sparked an interest in Cole was Quint newest member Carl Johnson. He was around his own age and seemed very eager to work with Cole, there was nothing wrong with that but he asked a lot of questions for someone who main concern was money or well should have been anyway. Cole looked at the time she was late, he didn't even blame her he was just about ready to drop into hell for a visit.

"Mr Turner are you listening," One short plump man asked, judging by Coles uninterested expression.

"Yeah the figures that were supplied for the shares that my company bought from yours were not accurate; therefore I'm going to have to pay a small sum to get this corrected correct." Cole said quite fluently multi-tasking.

"I think its time we had a break" Cole suggested, all men agreed with nods. Cole signalled the waiter.

"So when will your wife be joining us" Carl suddenly said, Cole ordered then answered he had not mentioned that Phoebe would be coming. Cole didn't like the vibe he got from this guy but he answered anyway.

"She wont be" he answered simply, but Carl pressed

"A busy women plus a busy man where do you find the time cater to her" Cole gave him a dangerous stare what kind of question was that Cole rolled his eyes. Now he didn't want Phoebe to come.
"Are you a fan of hers" Cole replied.

"Not even close" he replied with an icy tone that Cole didn't miss, the men engaged in a cold stare he backed down first and Cole remained with the upper hand. Whatever it is he wanted he would soon know.

The table broke out into small chat abut this deal and that deal, Cole didn't really involve himself in their chat.

Coles phone started to ring he sighed in relief something to get away

"Excuse me" he said as he left the table

"Hello"

"Cole are you still there" she asked him

"Yeah, what happened to you?"

"Demons I'm still coming though" she told him giggling

"Yeah sure you are" he said sarcastically which made her laugh some more

"No seriously there was this demon he had piper powers and we had to go on a journey through the underworld looking for some scrolls"

"You see anyone I know" Cole interrupted

"Very funny" she replied

"Anyway seeing as I've just saved the world yet again I guess I can come save you see you in a minute" she dropped just like that

Cole made his way back to the table and opened his eyes as he saw Phoebe approaching the table same time, she simply winked at him and introduced herself. Each man drooled over her, how embarrassing for them he thought. They sat down at the same time exchanging quiet comments to each other

"Impressive" he said

"Your welcome" she simply said, Cole didn't miss the intense stare coming from Carl who looked solely at Phoebe, and the rest of the men went back to their small talk. Phoebe turned slightly in her seat and averted her eyes to the man staring at her. Cole shrugged at her and she sighed and pinched his leg.
"Carl was erm what's the word waiting for you" Cole then said to her prompting Carl to get involved in the conversation
"Really, awww sorry I got held up" she said sweetly, he smiled foolishly and Cole laughed in disgust.

Carl didn't know what to say she had just come straight out with it and Cole he had just dumped him in the middle if he didn't say something he would look as dumb as he felt right now.
"Its ok beautiful women are meant to be waited for" hopefully that was it because she smiled at him and turned to her husband who did nothing that he saw but something made her smile even more. The rest of the night went smoothly until the three of them were the only ones left.

"Cole not the talking type I've gathered" Carl then assumed because he talked very little to him but he seemed to be having a silent conversation with his wife even though she had been engaged in conversation with him. Phoebe then excused herself from the table.

"First language Money second love" Carl pressed on after Cole didn't answer; he leant into the table and looked him straight in the eye.

"Or is your talk only reserved for her" he asked Cole still didn't reply, Carl couldn't just say things to get him to talk he had to hit something he should of known that by now.

"Or are you battling inner demons" he then said he grinned with satisfaction when Cole eyes looked at him.

"What would you know about battling demons it seems to me that your fighting temptations right now" Cole replied coolly. This was going to be harder than he thought

"Even jealously lies in the strongest of men" he replied each man glared at each other, Phoebe returned to the table.

"It's been nice talking to you but we really have to go now" Phoebe said the words before he could. He smiled at her and they said their goodbyes. Carl followed them out to the cars where they separated but Carl stayed on to watch. They reached the car and Phoebe told Cole something he shrugged and she pushed him he laughed and she pouted quickly before Cole enveloped her in his arms a small kiss was passed and they got in the car and drove off.

"Even Fear lies in the strongest of men and your no different Cole" he said to himself.
