Part 4 of

Phoebe and Cole- Another AU

Phoebe woke up the following morning. Memories of the night before hit her; hard.

"Oh no! We are in so much trouble!"

She looked at Cole. He had started watching her ever since their first time togther. He knew every little habbit she had when sleeping. What every frown meant that fell upon her face. He knew exactly how to comfort her when she shook. And that he was in trouble. He had fallen for the enemy. "What?"

"Look out the window!"

Cole looked out and sarcastically said, "Yeah, sunlight. Pesky thing. Should be any noraml persons enemy!"

"That's just it!"

"You're not normal?"

Phoebe grrrred at him. "Sunlight! Cole, I was suppose to be back last night! And instead, I'm here with you. Not that that isn't a good thing. I am just in soooo much trouble."

He kissed her shoulder and felt her shake with desire. "So? It's not like she can prevent us from seeing each other."

"Actually she can. All she has to do is...", she said to herself.

"What?"

"Nothing. Can you just take me home?"

He let out a sigh of defeat. "Sure." Phoebe got up and went to the bathroom where she put her cloths on." You know, I don't like this whole have to leave as soon as you get up. It would be nice if we were able to talk once in a while."

Phoebe yelled from the bathroom. "We talk!"

"Yeah. We talk about when we are going to sleep with each other. Face it, Phoebe. We know next to nothing about each other." He couldn't believe he was saying this. Not only was he dating a witch, he was suggesting that they get closer. "I almost feel like we are only seeing each other because of the way we look."

Phoebe came into the room. "That's not it at all. We're just in the 'can't keep our hands of each other' stage. Soon we'll move on and we'll know everything about each other. Trust me, I'm not using you. I'm deffiantly interested in this." She looked at her cloths and asked, "Do you think I can pull off a 'Went out early this morning'?"

Cole laughed and got up to get dressed. He drove her home and asked if she was free that night. She made plans to meet him at P3 that night and then they were going to go out to a resturant.

~*~*~*~

Prue was on Phoebe's ass as soon as she walked in. "Where were you?"

"Out."

"With Cole? You promised to be home, Phoebe. That was so irresponsible. The demon came last night and he looked nothing like Cole's human form."

"Well, he knew that I was with Cole, so why would he?" Her sister paused and Phoebe knew she saw her point. "Besides, you're alright. I'm sorry I fell asleep and didn't run off, but I have plans tonight so we have some serious witchy planning to do."

"No. You are staying in tonight! You are out every single night and just come marching in the next morning. We need you here. If you spend every night there, then what's the point of you living here?"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that if you aren't here, then why do you live here? You might as well just go live with what's his name. Besides the demon is attacking here tonight. We already have the spell and a game plan, we just need you to say the spell."

"Umm... Hi! What's the game plan?"

"Everyone sits in the living room and when he attacks Piper freezes. I'll see you later. I've got a shoot."

Prue left the house and Phoebe stood still. She wasn't sure what was up with that. Maybe I am being kicked out...., she thought. That's rediculas! I own a third of this house.

She grabbed the phone and went upstairs to her room. She dialed Cole's work number and was greeted by his secretary.

"Hello, Turner's office. How may I help you?"

"Hi, ugh.... Is Cole there yet?"

"No, he called and said-" The secretary stopped talking all of a sudden and someone took the phone from her.

"Hello?", someone asked.

"Cole?"

"Phoebe?"

"Hey...."

"Lee, put this through to my line. Phoebe, I'll be right back."

There was a pause and then another, "Hey, Phoebe! How are you?", from Cole.

"Ugh.. Hey."

"You don't sound so good."

Phoebe noticed that he was right. She looked in the mirror, expecting to see the way she looked, but found that she had started crying. "I don't really know..... Cole, there's something I have to tell you."

Cole panicked. The only thing he could think of was that she had found out that he was a demon and she was going to have to vanquish him. He swallowed and asked, "Is this a good something, or a bad something?"

"It's a bad something. Prue told me I can't go out tonight. I must sound like a teenager."

"Why can't you go out?"

"I don't really know... She is really mad and we have to do some sister thing so there is no way I can get out of it. Damn that Jenisester.", she added to herself. She couldn't help but notice that she kept muttering witchy things to herself around him. Perhaps she wanted him to know. Maybe she thought that she more then like him. Maybe she should tell him....

"This sucks."

Phoebe muttered a quick laugh. "I've never thought of you as a, 'This sucks' kind of guy. It seems a little out of character."

"Well... I have work. I'll call you later. I promise..."

"We broke the last promise we made."

"This one is for you."

Phoebe smiled and her heart did a cartweel. It jumped and missed a beat, but she could only manage a, "Bye."

"Bye."

The phone clicked and she turned hers off. She fell to her back on her bed.

~*~*~*~

"Tell me again why I can't go out after this?", Phoebe asked again.

"Because we don't know when the demon is going to get here. If he gets here really late, you wouldn't even have a chance to exchange hellos before jumping into bed with him.", Prue explained rather harshly.

"I know you are mad, but I don't think that was nesscesary. Cole and my relationship is none of your buisness. Not to mention he is the one who wants us to talk and get to know each other sooner rather then later. He wants this relationship as much as I want it. And at least he doesn't have anyone interupting it for him."

"Ok, do we have to seperate you two?", Piper asked. She looked at Leo and asked for him to help her silently.

"Piper's right. Let's focus on the demon and then you can kill each other when we-" He pointed to Piper and himself. "-go to bed."

"Fine, I just hope that-" Prue stood up before finishing her sentance. "Piper! Freeze!"

Piper flicked her hands and then picked up the spell. The girls quickly chanted the spell and the demon flamed out as the bell rang.

"Saved by the bell. Night, Pheebs. Night, Prue. Come on, Leo!", Piper ordered.

"I'll get it.", Phoebe told her sister.

"Don't think that we won't talk later!", Prue called after her.

Phoebe ignored her sister and then turned the knob. She opened the door to find..... Cole.
