Phoebe got out of the house without stopping to tell Paige she was leaving. Even though she heard her saying something, she couldn't talk, all she wanted to do was run away wishing she could somehow appear magically in her bedroom... She kept running when she felt her hair and shoes wet and her body cold and wet as well. She realized it was raining. She was so lost in her thoughts and emotions she didn't see or care about the rain, but she did hear someone calling for her. It was Cole's voice.
"Phoebe, wait!" Cole yelled and ran up to her grabbing her arm.
"Leave me alone. Please." Phoebe said looking at his hand.
"I'm sorry for speaking to you like that, Phoebe." Cole said as the rain dripped on his face.
"Cole, I…" Phoebe started, but couldn't finish her sentence. She didn't know what to tell him. She looked at him and tried to pull away, but Cole held her tightly.
"What's wrong?" Cole asked raising her chin, so she would look at him.
"Nothing. I have to go." Phoebe said.
"What did I do to make you leave? I wouldn't do anything you didn't want me to." Cole told her again.
"I know. I just… I'm not sure what happened. I mean I have done it before, but…"
"But?" Cole asked her.
"I felt something…" Phoebe said looking into his eyes. Cole waited for her.
"I just realized that I think I am… falling in love with you." Phoebe said slowly.
Cole took her immediately in his arms and kissed her passionately. His arms were wrapped around her waist. Phoebe moaned slightly not expecting the kiss, but responded to it and held his head with her hands. They were both wet from the rain, but that was the last thing in their mind. The only thing they felt was the warmth emanating from each other's body. Cole ended the kiss and looked at her closed eyes and open mouth. He caressed her wet hair as she slowly came back to reality and opened her eyes.
"You're cold. Let's get you inside." Cole whispered in her ear and took her hand.
"I'd better leave." Phoebe said gently.
"Phoebe…" Cole tried to argue, but Phoebe placed her hands on his lips.
"We'll talk tomorrow." Phoebe simply said and walked away, leaving a soaked from the rain Cole behind looking at her.
"I love you." Cole whispered to no one, as Phoebe turned around the corner.
"See you tomorrow." Paige kissed Glen and opened the door.
"It's raining a lot." Glen told her.
"I know, but I should go. I wonder what happened with Phoebe." Paige told him.
"Wish I could give you a ride home." Glen told her.
"In two years." Paige told him and winked at him.
Surprising him and herself. She didn't know if they'd still be together in two years.
Cole entered the house and both looked at him.
"What happened?" Glen asked.
"I don't know exactly." Cole said and went upstairs, but Glen stopped him.
"Hey, can you take Paige home with the car?" Glen asked Cole.
"Um, sure." Cole replied.
"No, that's ok. Really. I can handle a little rain." Paige said.
"Come on." Cole said grabbing his keys and Paige sighed.
"All right." Paige accepted and Glen kissed her goodbye.
Paige put on her seatbelt and looked at Cole, who was starting the car.
"What happened out there?"
Cole cleared his voice, "Ask Phoebe."
"Cole, if you hurt her I'm gonna personally hunt you down." Paige warned him seriously and Cole smiled.
"What are you smiling at?"
"I am not intending of hurting her. Ever." Cole told her seriously this time.
"Good to know. Then why did she ran off?" Paige asked again.
"You should ask her." Cole insisted.
"Ok." Paige sighed.
"How is it going with Glen?" Cole tried to turn the conversation.
"Good." Paige smiled lightly and Cole raised his eyebrows.
"Great from what I saw." Cole said.
"Cole?"
"Yeah?" Cole turned his head for a just a moment.
"Bite me." Paige said and he laughed.
"You're such a big mouth for a 14 year old girl, you know that?" Cole said and Paige stuck her tongue out and turned on the radio.
"Oooh! Justin Bieber!" Paige cheered.
"What? No, turn it off. I do not want Justin Bieber in my car." Cole said.
"Whaaa? Come on! He is awesome." Paige said singing along, "Baby".
"Oh, my God…" Cole said and widened his eyes.
After 5 minutes he pulled over the car out of the Halliwell Manor.
"Here." Cole said.
"Thanks Cole!" Paige said.
"Um, Paige?"
"Yeah?" Paige smiled knowing he's gonna ask about Phoebe.
"Nothing."
"Ok. Bye." Paige said and got out of the car.
Cole sighed and left as soon as Paige entered the house.
Paige shut the door behind her and climbed upstairs to Phoebe's bedroom. She slowly opened the door and saw Phoebe laying on her bed with her back on Paige.
"Pheebs?" Paige called and moved closer to her, "Are you ok?"
Phoebe turned around and looked at Paige.
"Fine." Phoebe simply stated as she sat up and Paige rolled her eyes.
"Come on. It's me, you can't fool me. Especially not after your grande exit." Paige said playfully and Phoebe sighed.
"Well, we were upstairs in his bedroom and we were… fooling around… when I…" Phoebe stopped.
"Yeah?" Paige stared at Phoebe.
"I realized that I kinda… I don't know." Phoebe stopped again.
"Tell me!" Paige said.
"I like him a lot, Paige."
"That's good, isn't it?"
"Yeah, but I think I am in love with him."
"Oh." Paige uttered a bit confused.
"Ok. Um, and why is that bad?" Paige asked.
"I haven't loved anyone before. I've been with other guys, but I have never felt like this with anyone before. It was a little scary to me." Phoebe finished and Paige still stared at her.
"Ugh! You can't understand what I'm talking about and how I feel. Look I know it sounds a bit weird and crazy, but what if he doesn't feel the same way and he is like every other guy? What if he wants me for one time and then leaves me?"
"Phoebe, I don't think Cole is like other guys. I really think he cares about you and he might even feel the same way you do. Did you tell him how you feel?"
"I just told him how I feel about him and then he kissed me. What a kiss." Phoebe smiled at the thought. She still felt his hot lips on her cold ones. It was the best feeling ever. The rain sure helped and made it more romantic.
Paige smiled.
"He loves you too. I'm sure." Paige told her.
"You think so?"
"You tell me. What did you feel when he kissed you?"
"Passion and… love." Phoebe smiled and Paige did too.
"See?" Paige winked at her.
"I can't believe I'm being analysed about my love life by my youngest sister." Phoebe shook her head laughing.
"Hey!" Paige pushed her playfully and Phoebe fell on her back.
Suddenly the door opened.
"Paige, Kyle is on the phone." Prue told her.
"Really? What does he want?" Paige asked.
"How should I know? Ask him." Prue said and handed over the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Paige, it's me. How are you?"
"Good, thanks. You?"
"I'm great. I just called you, cause I was wondering if you… would like to go out with me to see a movie tomorrow."
"Um, I don't know, Kyle."
"Why not? It'd be great."
"It's just that I can't tomorrow. I have plans."
"Oh, ok. Some other time then."
"Yeah, bye."
"See you tomorrow at school."
Paige hang up the phone.
"He sounded disappointed."
"Why didn't you tell him you are with Glen now?"
"Cause, I'm not sure about that yet. I should talk with Glen tomorrow."
"Yeah." Phoebe sighed, "Let's go downstairs for dinner now. I'm starving."
At Turners'…
"Hey, what happened with Phoebe?" Glen asked Cole as he opened the door.
"I wish I knew."
"Come on. There has to be a reason she fled like that."
"She… she said she is falling in love." Cole said and sank onto the armchair.
"With you?"
"No. With you." Cole said in a serious tone looking down and rolled his eyes, when Glen widened his.
"Wha..?"
"With me, you idiot."
"Oh! Right. Of course," Glen laughed, "So?"
"I don't know. I guess she is scared," Cole squinted his eyes, "but I have no idea why she feels that way." Cole said confused.
"And what did you tell her?"
"I kissed her."
"Nice!" Glen smiled.
"She is so perfect." Cole said.
"Are you?" Glen asked.
"Am I what?"
"Falling in love with her?"
"No." Cole said looking down and then at Glen, "I have already fallen in love with her. Probably since day one."
"What about Melinda?"
"Melinda is in Australia. A long distant relationship like that won't work out. Especially not now that I found Phoebe."
"What if she thinks you two are still together Cole? You were together for what? Two years?"
"Two and a half. But, it doesn't matter. For how long exactly should I wait for her?"
"I know, man. It's just that her family was thinking to move here in San Francisco before us."
"But they didn't and they won't. Our father has already taken over the business here. Melinda's father has taken over in Australia. They can't come here. They need to be in Melbourne."
"Mom had plans for you and Mel."
"Do not remind me. Right now the only one who's on my mind is Phoebe." Cole said and got up.
"I don't think mom's gonna like that."
"I could care less. And what about you and Paige, huh?"
"You are older than me, you are the one who is gonna take over dad's business. I still have some years to finish school, unlikely with you. And Paige is really, really, really great." Glen said smiling at Paige's image in his head.
"Two greats would be enough, you know." Cole teased Glen, "And I do not need to be with Melinda to be her dad's partner.
"But the law firm…"
"Glen! I don't care what they say. I'm going upstairs." Cole climbed the stairs.
"Mom's gonna kill you." Glen whispered and went back to his playstation 3.
The next morning…
Phoebe got into her baggy clothes, as she was a hip-hop dancer and left for her dance class. On the other hand, Cole had basketball practice with Glen and Paige. Piper and Prue had classes, as well.
Phoebe went to her locker, left her books and headed to her dance class. As she turned left on the corridor of the school she bumped into Cole who was heading to his own locker.
"Oh!" Phoebe gasped and so did Cole.
He realized it was Phoebe and stared at her.
"Phoebe! I'm sorry. Are you ok?" Cole asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Phoebe replied looking at him and then on the floor nervously.
"Phoebe, about… yesterday." Cole started.
"I'm sorry." Phoebe told him.
"About what?" Cole asked.
"About running away like that. It was rude." Phoebe finally said.
"I hope I didn't do anything wrong to…"
"No. It wasn't you. It was… me."
"What does that mean?"
"You know, I have class now, can we talk about it later?"
Phoebe asked, while Glen and Paige appeared.
"Hey, Cole… and… Phoebe." Glen said when he realized Phoebe was there too.
"Hi." Phoebe said and looked at them.
"Bro, practice starts in 5'."
"I know, I'll be right there." Cole said looking at Phoebe.
"Ok." Glen said and left with Paige.
"You have practice too, so…" Phoebe said and started to leave, when Cole touched her shoulder to stop her.
"We are going to talk later, right?" Cole asked her.
"Yes, Cole." Phoebe smiled.
"Ok." Cole half smiled.
"Have a good practice." Phoebe told him.
"You too. You look beautiful today." Cole told her.
"Thanks." Phoebe smiled and walked away.
She sighed as she got into her class and smiled again to Cole's compliment.
"He thinks I'm beautiful."
She wanted to kiss him, but they had to talk first. She had no idea what she'd say to him, but she would have to worry about that later.
"Phoebe! Morning!" Jason greeted her.
"Hi, Jason." Phoebe smiled.
"Ready to dance?" Jason smiled back.
"Yeah, sure."
Jason was also a hip-hopper. A very good one too. From that class, Jason had fallen for Phoebe…
Meanwhile at the basketball court,
"So, how did it go?" Glen asked Cole.
"Better than what I was expecting."
"Really? Did you get back together?"
"We will. We will." Cole said and scored a 3 point.
At the dance class,
"Hey Phoebe! Over here!" Linda shouted.
"Morning, Linda." Phoebe smiled.
"How are you?"
"Good, you?"
"I am so happy." Linda grinned.
"Really? Who is he?" Phoebe winked at her.
"Only the most handsome boy in school." Linda smiled.
Phoebe's smile vanished, as she thought about Cole.
"Leo!" Linda smiled again and Phoebe sighed relieved.
"Oh! Leo!" Phoebe smiled, "Wait. Leo Wyatt, Leo?"
"Yeah! He is so hot."
"Yes, sure he is. Good for you Lin."
"Thank you. How about you Phoebe? Anyone special in you life right now?"
"Um, well…"
"Come on! Tell me!"
"I went out with Cole yesterday."
"Cole? The new guy?"
"Yeah, him."
"Oh, wow. He is so cute, I'd die." Linda said and Phoebe laughed.
"Did you try him yet?" Linda asked her.
"Linda! No!" Phoebe told her.
"Why are you acting like that? I know you, you almost never wait."
"Linda?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up." Phoebe told her and walked away.
"Good morning everybody. Lois turn on the music please. We are going to do the choreography from the beginning."
The teacher said and "Tell Me" by Christina Aguilera and played. Everyone took their places and started doing their moves.
After an hour and something the practice was over.
"You were awesome today." Jason told Phoebe.
"Thanks! You weren't too bad yourself." Phoebe said playfully.
"Gee, thanks." Jason laughed.
"So, do you want to go out today?"
"I can't, I'm sort of seeing someone."
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know. Who is the lucky guy?"
Phoebe smiled awkwardly.
"Cole."
"Cole? Who is? Ah, yeah. The new guy, huh?"
"Yes. But you know, we've always been good friends, so…"
"Right, friends." Jason said and faked a smile.
"See you around." Phoebe said and left.
"Bye."
Phoebe went to the outside court, where Cole, Glen and her younger sister were playing basketball.
Cole spotted her and smiled lightly. He took Glen's pass and dunked. He turned to Phoebe, pointed to her and mouthed, "For you."
Phoebe smiled and giggled.
When they finished Cole walked to Phoebe with a towel around his shoulders.
"Hey."
"Hey." Phoebe smiled.
"You look sweaty." Cole noticed.
"What? Well, right back at you." Phoebe said taking it the wrong way.
"I didn't mean it like that. You're gonna catch a cold, unless you change."
"Oh." Phoebe smiled embarrassed.
"I will."
"So how was your practice?"
"Good."
"Yours?"
"Good." Cole replied.
"Thanks for the dunk. Impressive." Phoebe said playfully.
"I'm glad. I thought it wouldn't be that easy to impress you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you seem like the kind of girl who isn't easily impressed."
"You guessed right." Phoebe smiled and Cole got closer to her and touched her hand gently.
"Do you have any plans for tonight?" Cole looked in her eyes.
"Not that I know of."
"Well, now you do. I'll pick you up at seven?"
"Ok." Phoebe smiled and Cole kissed her lightly on her cheek.
"I'll see you later." Phoebe said and left.
"Hey, cool practice, huh?" Paige asked Glen.
"Yeah, it was great. You were great."
"Oh, thanks."
"I wanted to ask you something."
"Yeah?"
"Paige, we kissed last night."
"I know. I was there." Paige laughed.
"So, we're cool?"
"If by cool, you mean we're together… Then yeah." Paige said.
"Cool." Glen repeated and smiled. Paige kissed him on the lips.
Did you like it? It was long! Good for me! I know I have mixed it a little with dances and basketball, but I liked it that way. If I have confused you with something just ask me. Bye, for now!
