Chapter 5
"Are you sure this is going to work?" asked Phoebe anxiously for the tenth time.
"Don't worry Phoebe! This is a perfectly safe spell." Cole reassured her. He was incredibly grateful towards Leo's ingenious idea. He couldn't believe that there was a way that they might survive this, though it was a weak chance, he had to try. Leo's idea had been to use a memory search spell. The spell would help Cole to remember anything that could help him in this situation. Whether it is a spell, a person, or a curse, anything that would help him. Cole's head hurt even to think of anything right now. The impact of the shock and horror he had experienced tonight was just too much for his brain right now. This spell was a useful one and surely, through his 100 and something years as a demon, there would be something to help him.
"Found it!" cried Leo in triumph as he flipped through the Book of Shadows. He quickly grabbed a chair and pushed Cole down onto it. "Ready?"
Cole nodded uncertainly, he was so scared that there would be nothing to help him; this was their last hope. Phoebe knelt in front of him and held his hands tightly, squeezing them gently to comfort him.
"Spirits of, air, water, fire and earth
Creator of all creatures,
A cry for help is all we ask,
Search through the memories for we need the birth,
Of a helpful hint or spell, transport us to the place and time,
Which would help us solve this problem and mime."
As Leo's voice bellowed out throughout the attic, Cole could see through his mind of different memories, as if he was watching a video, occasionally a memory froze but moved on as if it wasn't the right memory to use. Suddenly, Cole found himself shimmering. He opened his eyes slowly, he was inside the temple of some kind of dark priestess, wait a minute, this looked slightly familiar. There whirl of black smoke and in front of him he saw a girl, about the same age as Phoebe, she was wearing a magnificent and stunning black robe covering an incredibly black long flowing dress which was shredded at the bottom as it dragged along the ground. She had beautiful blonde hair that tumbled down past her shoulders and created a frame for her face like a waterfall, it was wavy and twisted like a spring creating a beautiful shape. Her eyes were an intense ocean blue. Her face was flawless and her lips a bright blood red which contrasted well with her black clothing. Her figure was the kind of figure that girls become anorexic for, thin and perfectly shaped. She was the type of girl who made enemies involuntarily with people who were jealous of her looks.
Cole gasped, 100 years ago he had come to this priestess for help for some mission he had to do, he couldn't remember. She looked just like she had 100 years ago, intelligent and beautiful. She and Cole shared intensity and there was also of chemistry between them and they had shared a passionate desire for each other many years ago.
"Cole?" asked the stunned Priestess. She had always called him by his human name because they were so close.
"Aridella!" Cole called out, running quickly to her with greeting her with a sweet embrace.
A while later….
"So…" said Aridella slowly, dragging her words out, "Now, you're in love with a witch, that's new!"
Cole chuckled, shaking his head not believing it himself, "Yup and you're now a third stage priestess with a master, so much progress, and you're nearly a complete dark priestess!" suddenly he said seriously changing his tone, "I need your help Aridella, please, I have to save Phoebe and I." begged Cole, his chocolate eyes staring up into hers.
Aridella hesitated, how could Cole, a powerful demon fall for a witch? Even falling for a priestess would be better than falling for a pathetic little witch, especially one of the charmed ones. But Cole somehow had a way of making here feel like she owed it to him to help him, the truth was, in her heart she had always loved Cole but when she looked into those sweet big brown and watery puppy eyes she couldn't resist.
"How can I help you?" asked Aridella knowing that she was going to regret this.
Cole shouted out with delight and flashed her one of his charming smiles, which had won Phoebe's heart as well as Aridella all those years ago. Cole calmed down for a second, he couldn't help his sudden outburst, and there was a way for him and Phoebe to live in a their world of trust and love together! His heart thumped as he could feel the excitement and happiness surge through him.
"Do you know how to perform a menararo-losaous ritual?" Cole asked hopefully. He knew that she was a priestess with a high reputation for performing complicated rituals. She was a good priestess and he knew it.
"The 'memory loss' ritual? The one where you can lose memory? Cole, this is one of the most dangerous rituals to perform, if this backfires, you can forget your identity, your life, your demonic side, everything!" she cried out, shocked at the thought that Cole was willing to take such a big risk.
"Which is why I trust you with it," Cole said warmly, smiling widely; he knew that compliments always got to Aridella's heart.
Aridella sighed, although she knew that she was on her way to becoming one of the greatest priestesses in the underworld, helping Cole with his love life wasn't exactly what she had in mind for a hobby. But she knew that Cole was one of her best friends and allies and she wanted to help him, although when he had embraced her, she and felt her heart skip a beat. Sighing again, she thought anything for Cole, to make him love me. She looked at Cole and gave a slight nod.
Phoebe paced around the attic, Leo sighed, if she saw her turn and walk to the other direction of the attic one more time, he was going to scream. When Cole had shimmered out of the attic, Phoebe had been so scared that the spell had somehow sent him back to one of his enemies or to The Source, which was the worst thing that could happen. Phoebe's thumped loudly against her chest; it thumped so loudly that she wondered if Leo could hear it too. Leo slipped out of the attic, with a last glance at the worried Phoebe and went downstairs to check on Piper, no longer able to watch Phoebe's pacing without screaming. Suddenly Cole shimmered into the centre of the attic bringing with her a gorgeous looking girl with him.
"Cole! Oh my god, I've been so worried!" cried out Phoebe, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning forward to share a sweet kiss with him.
"I'm sorry that I took so long Phoebe, I had some catching up to do." Cole explained apologetically and flashed a quick grin at Aridella who was standing aside awkwardly, not sure when to introduce herself. "This is Aridella, she's an old friend of mine and a dark priestess, she is an expert at performing rituals and she's agreed to do a "memory loss" ritual for us, which means that we would both forget about Prue's death so that our human emotions won't take over us! Then we can live in our world Phoebe, our world of love which we had always longed for."
Aridella raised her delicate eyebrow, surprised to hear Cole talk to this way to anyone, he wasn't exactly a warm and cuddly demon but she could see the love in his eyes when he looked at Phoebe. What had happened to the almighty and evil belphasoar she had always loved?
"Oh Cole!" Phoebe squealed in pure joy, she embraced him once more and took his hand, their fingers entwining into each other's. They walked over to Aridella where she told them what she would need to perform the ritual.
Meanwhile, Leo was downstairs, still trying to comfort Piper explaining to her the whole story of the reason why Phoebe had killed Prue. Piper just sat in shock, not believing what was happening to her family, she was even more shocked when Leo told her about Phoebe and Cole's tragic future unless they could figure out a way.
"Leo, I hope they find a way! I can't lose another sister, and Cole…sometimes he almost seems like a brother to me!" cried Piper, hanging tight onto Leo. Leo comforted her and reassured her that somewhere among Cole's millions of memories, there had to be someone who could help him.
Aridella's heart felt heavy and hard as she placed candles in a semicircle on the cleared floor of the attic. She was jealous, she knew it, and Cole was her friend! She was the one that he was meant to fall in love with and say those sweet words to. Although Aridella was evil, sometimes her heart wasn't and her human emotions took over her. Let's get it over and done with, she thought coldly as she prepared for the ritual.
"You want to forget about Prue, right?" snapped Aridella, feeling impatient as the two lovers continued to stare at each other lovingly. Cole nodded, not taking his eyes off Phoebes.
"I need a photo, and make it quick!" muttered Aridella, she wanted to do this as fast as she could, if her master found out that she had helped a demon and a witch find love for each other, he would practically kill her! She was doing something good for belphasoar, now known as the traitor in the whole of the underworld. Phoebe's hand suddenly reached out in front of her with a photo of Prue, Aridella quickly snatched it and floated it on top of the clear potion she was making. She made Cole and Phoebe kneel down onto the floor and started muttering spells and charms she knew under her breath while her hands fingered the bowl of potion in front of her. Cole and Phoebe closed their eyes and held hands, clearing their mind as Aridella had told them to do. Aridella continued to mutter for what seemed like a century to the eager couple, smoke started rising from the potion and the flames from the candles that surrounded them dropped themselves into the potion burning Prue's photo which still floated on top. Aridella's eyes fluttered open and she knelt in front of Phoebe and Cole, dipped her thumb into the bowl of potion and touched their foreheads, continuing her muttering of spells.
"By the power of darkness, hell and evil, let the memory of Prue, a charmed one be lost to the dead souls below us." she bellowed. Lightning flashed and Aridella quickly left, not wanting her master to track where she had been, silently wishing that she hadn't done the ritual. Besides, she didn't want to stick around awkwardly to watch another love scene from Phoebe and Cole.
Phoebe and Cole opened their eyes and looked at each other. Cole's heart felt like it was going to melt and he had the sudden desire to touch her, to linger his fingers on her bare skin and to kiss those delicious and sweet lips of hers. He longed to caress his lips onto her bare skin and to hold her hand and never let go. Phoebe felt like she was in heaven, staring into those beautiful and sensitive eyes of Cole's, she wanted to rest her head against his shoulder, the place where her head fitted snugly and she wanted to feel the soft weight of Cole's head on hers and to snuggle with him, their bodies melting into one. In unison, Phoebe and Cole's arms suddenly reached out and they shared a long passionate kiss. Suddenly, the attic seemed to disappear from their world and all they could see was each other.
That night, they embraced which other and wrapped themselves around each other, whispering words of love under the bed covers. In the morning, Phoebe's eyes fluttered open and found Cole was awake already, resting on his arm, turned towards her and had been watching her sleep.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked in a teasing tone.
Cole chuckled, "And a good morning to you too, love of my life."
"You were watching me sleep, weren't you? Don't try to hide it!" she said with mock accusation in her voice, but her lips curved into a huge smile.
"You looked beautiful," replied Cole shrugging, simply stating it. Taking Phoebe's hand he looked straight into her eyes and said full of emotion, "Before I met you, I never believed in angels but you have shown me so much love and understanding that I can't help it but believe in angels now." he paused and he blushed slightly as he shyly continued, " I guess I'm just really lucky to be able to fall in love with one."
Phoebe's eyes filled with tears as she heard those heavenly words. "Not as lucky as I am to be in love with the man I have yearned to be with for so long." She whispered before their lips found their way to each other again and they slowly sank back against the soft pillows, wrapped in each other's arms.
"I wonder what kind of person had helped Cole and Phoebe, look at them! They can't keep their hands off each other!" exclaimed Piper to Leo. Phoebe and Cole were sitting opposite them in the living room, they shared one chair and Phoebe was stretched out across Cole's lap and had her arms around his neck. Their eyelashes fluttered against each other's and their foreheads touched as their lips caressed again and again.
Phoebe's heart felt warm and her whole body felt so comfortable on Cole's reassuring body. She had never been this in love with anyone before, she just didn't realise that when she fell in love with Cole, that was only the beginning of the beautiful and heart-warming feeling that caused her to feel waves of ecstasy through her body. She could have spent all day cuddled within his arms, pressing her weight deep into his body and making herself disappear from the world and into the world of love and trust of her and Cole. Cole kissed Phoebe softly on the lips again; somehow it seemed like so long ago since he had told Phoebe he was a demon. He closed his eyes and felt a feeling he had never felt before as a mortal, he felt like the world was such a perfect place, the world of Phoebe and him. He was so in love with Phoebe and every kiss they shared seemed to make him fade into a sweet fantasy, too good to be true.
Leo looked at the happy couple, smiling to himself and hugging Piper tightly, when he had asked Phoebe and Cole what person had helped them, they hadn't even remembered what had happened to them so there was no point in asking. All that mattered now was that their power of love was stronger than ever. He gently led Piper out of the living room, giving Phoebe and Cole some privacy. Piper suddenly giggled, winking at Leo as she tilted her head slightly in the direction of Phoebe and Cole. Leo chuckled along, amused by the happy couple as well.
"Mm, I've got to get to a class Cole." Murmured Phoebe as Cole rested his head against her shoulder. Phoebe tried to get up but Cole pulled her back and kissed a sweet and magical kiss. "Now you're making me not want to go! Ha, but since when did I ever like going to class?" chuckled Phoebe.
"I'll meet you after class, k?" asked Cole softly. "I've got a surprise…" he trailed off on purpose mysteriously, giving Phoebe a sly smile.
Phoebe stuck her tongue out playfully and nodded before getting up from the couch, Phoebe was still holding Cole's hand and he let both his and Phoebe's arms reach out for each other until Phoebe had to let go. It was like he couldn't ever let her go. I guess this is what they call love, thought Cole, smiling to himself.
"Oh my god Leo, what are we going to do about Prue's body?" asked Piper, panic in her voice as they made their way over to Cole's apartment.
"Have a funeral, don't worry, everything's going to be fine." Leo reassured Piper softly, hugging her.
"What about Phoebe and Cole?" asked Piper.
"I think that we should just have a private and quiet funeral for Prue, as for Phoebe and Cole, I'm scared that that'll break their power of love, just give it some time, honey and they can say their own goodbyes later." Leo said slowly, thinking.
Piper's tears were already slithering down her face, like a quiet stream, and she pressed her body against Leo's tightly as they both stepped inside Cole's apartment, ready to prepare a quiet funeral for Prue.
Phoebe stepped outside into the already fading sunlight as she shuffled through her folder when suddenly, she found a note from Cole addressed to her. She opened it: Follow the flower of love, it said. But what did that mean? She started walking and turned a corner, trying to work out what this meant and suddenly, she found a long trail of rose petals, all of them blood red and white scattered along the ground creating a magnificent contrast. People were exclaiming and pointing to it. Amused, Phoebe followed the trail and the end of it; there lay an enormous pile of rose petals and on top of it laid another note. Phoebe curiously picked it up and it read, our hearts will form an everlasting path. Phoebe frowned, confused, what did that mean? She walked around the corner again, she gasped at what she saw. In front of her were at least a hundred balloons! Red, pink and white; they were all floating up onto into the air, their strings were weighed down by a rock and the balloons were lined up to form a long and wavy line. Phoebe giggled happily as she followed it eagerly, almost running. At the end she found another note, I adore your chocolate kisses, in front of her she found another trail, this time a thicker one, it was made up of a thin carpet of Hershey's chocolate kisses on the floor and it created a path for her to follow. At the end of it she found a single red rose and tied to it was another note. This time it was longer, At last, a spell that would bring you to me: Our love is bliss I can't describe, creating a sweet world I never knew I could know, with every kiss I vanish within, bring me to your angel Cole. Huh? Thought Phoebe, frowning. She snapped her fingers suddenly and said the spell out loud.
She gasped as she suddenly found herself before such a beautiful scene that she could only stare in awe. Cole stood before her, blushing, almost looking shy. They were in a glass dome, with sunlight shining down on them brightly, the top of the dome was filled with floating heart-shaped balloons and an endless supply of rose petals and chocolate kisses rained down on them, magically shimmering into the air and floating down gently towards them, creating a thick luxurious carpet of the red and white of rose petals mixed with the beautiful silver of the wrapper of the chocolate kisses.
"Where are we?" whispered Phoebe as she continued to stare up at the ceiling in awe.
"This is a room I've spent months creating with magic with some spells that the demon of illusion had taught me. This is our world Phoebe, the beautiful world that we had always longed for." Said Cole, gently taking Phoebe's hand and leading her around the glass dome.
"It's magical, Cole! This is the sweetest thing that anyone's ever done for me!" exclaimed Phoebe in delight as she unconsciously let go of Cole's hand as she touched the smooth glass of the dome. Suddenly, she felt an urge to be in Cole's arms, she ran towards him and jumped straight into his arms. Cole neatly caught her; luckily his reflexes were quick today. Cole and Phoebe chuckled as he gently lay on her onto the heavenly rich-coloured floor of the dome; Cole sat down behind Phoebe and gently pulled her backwards so that she was leaning onto him and into his body as she laid back.
"I wish that we could stay here forever, Cole" Phoebe commented as she sighed with sweet content as she laid her head back against Cole's chest.
"We can come here as often as we like." Cole murmured softly as he too become mesmerized in watching the rose petals and chocolate kisses float down towards them like gentle snowflakes.
"I love you Cole, more than anything in this world." Whispered Phoebe, gently squeezing Cole's hand.
"I love you more Phoebe, you have shown me so much, and you brought out my mortal side and my mortal emotions out of me. I'm only at the beginning of loving you. I feel like I've never feel before, and now every little thing amazes me, like I've never seen the sky before. I can build my world around you Phoebe, I can be everything you'll ever need." Cole replied seriously, his voice full of passion as he gently stroked Phoebe's hair.
Phoebe stayed silent for a moment, absorbing everything that Cole had just said replaying it over and over again in her mind. Oh, she felt so loved, and she loved him so much.
"You have already created a wonderful world for us and you are everything that I'll ever need," giggled Phoebe. They kissed and sat back to watch the floating petals and chocolate kisses.
"I'm,"
"I'm,"
They both giggled.
"Let's say it together, whatever we're both trying to say." A hysterical Cole laughed as he said this, a glint in his eye. "Ready? One, two three!"
"I'm only at the beginning of loving you."
"I'm only at the beginning of loving you."
They both burst out laughing; somehow, it seemed hysterical that they had both just said the same thing at the same time.
After they had calmed down, Cole said, "It may seem crazy, I don't know but when I look into your eyes I see the missing pieces of my soul that I have been searching for all my life. You're the other half of my soul, Phoebe…forever. I feel a nothing else but a sense of completion and I think that I've just found my soul mate."
Phoebe's eyes started to feel watery and her tears brimmed to the edge of her eye, threatening to fall as she listened to Cole's sweet words. "I don't think that I've just found my soul mate Cole." She said seriously.
Cole's smile suddenly disappeared from his face as he frowned but said nothing, too hurt to respond. He felt a light punch on his left arm as Phoebe sat up.
"No Silly, I wasn't finished!" she exclaimed shaking her head, then in a calm voice she simply stated in a matter-of-fact tone, "I don't think I've just found my soul mate Cole, I know that I've already found him."
Cole's face immediately lit up and it showed a huge smile and he chuckled, he grabbed Phoebe and tousled her hair playfully.
"Hey!" protested Phoebe. She got up and chased after an already escaping Cole. She laughed out loud as she chased him and grabbed him around his waist and they both fell down on to the floor laughing. They were panting, trying to get their breath back, still staring into each other's eyes.
"I love you Cole." Whispered Phoebe.
"And can't help but love you Phoebe Halliwell."
With that, Cole put his arms around her and kissed her softly as they gently wrapped their arms around each other, once again floating off into that perfect world full of fantasy and love of their own.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" asked Phoebe anxiously for the tenth time.

"Aridella!" Cole called out, running quickly to her with greeting her with a sweet embrace.
A while later….
"So…" said Aridella slowly, dragging her words out, "Now, you're in love with a witch, that's new!"
Cole chuckled, shaking his head not believing it himself, "Yup and you're now a third stage priestess with a master, so much progress, and you're nearly a complete dark priestess!" suddenly he said seriously changing his tone, "I need your help Aridella, please, I have to save Phoebe and I." begged Cole, his chocolate eyes staring up into hers.

Cole chuckled, "And a good morning to you too, love of my life."
"You were watching me sleep, weren't you? Don't try to hide it!" she said with mock accusation in her voice, but her lips curved into a huge smile.
"You looked beautiful," replied Cole shrugging, simply stating it. Taking Phoebe's hand he looked straight into her eyes and said full of emotion, "Before I met you, I never believed in angels but you have shown me so much love and understanding that I can't help it but believe in angels now." he paused and he blushed slightly as he shyly continued, " I guess I'm just really lucky to be able to fall in love with one."
Phoebe's eyes filled with tears as she heard those heavenly words. "Not as lucky as I am to be in love with the man I have yearned to be with for so long." She whispered before their lips found their way to each other again and they slowly sank back against the soft pillows, wrapped in each other's arms.
"I wonder what kind of person had helped Cole and Phoebe, look at them! They can't keep their hands off each other!" exclaimed Piper to Leo. Phoebe and Cole were sitting opposite them in the living room, they shared one chair and Phoebe was stretched out across Cole's lap and had her arms around his neck. Their eyelashes fluttered against each other's and their foreheads touched as their lips caressed again and again.
Phoebe's heart felt warm and her whole body felt so comfortable on Cole's reassuring body. She had never been this in love with anyone before, she just didn't realise that when she fell in love with Cole, that was only the beginning of the beautiful and heart-warming feeling that caused her to feel waves of ecstasy through her body. She could have spent all day cuddled within his arms, pressing her weight deep into his body and making herself disappear from the world and into the world of love and trust of her and Cole. Cole kissed Phoebe softly on the lips again; somehow it seemed like so long ago since he had told Phoebe he was a demon. He closed his eyes and felt a feeling he had never felt before as a mortal, he felt like the world was such a perfect place, the world of Phoebe and him. He was so in love with Phoebe and every kiss they shared seemed to make him fade into a sweet fantasy, too good to be true.
Leo looked at the happy couple, smiling to himself and hugging Piper tightly, when he had asked Phoebe and Cole what person had helped them, they hadn't even remembered what had happened to them so there was no point in asking. All that mattered now was that their power of love was stronger than ever. He gently led Piper out of the living room, giving Phoebe and Cole some privacy. Piper suddenly giggled, winking at Leo as she tilted her head slightly in the direction of Phoebe and Cole. Leo chuckled along, amused by the happy couple as well.
"Mm, I've got to get to a class Cole." Murmured Phoebe as Cole rested his head against her shoulder. Phoebe tried to get up but Cole pulled her back and kissed a sweet and magical kiss. "Now you're making me not want to go! Ha, but since when did I ever like going to class?" chuckled Phoebe.
"I'll meet you after class, k?" asked Cole softly. "I've got a surprise…" he trailed off on purpose mysteriously, giving Phoebe a sly smile.
Phoebe stuck her tongue out playfully and nodded before getting up from the couch, Phoebe was still holding Cole's hand and he let both his and Phoebe's arms reach out for each other until Phoebe had to let go. It was like he couldn't ever let her go. I guess this is what they call love, thought Cole, smiling to himself.
"Oh my god Leo, what are we going to do about Prue's body?" asked Piper, panic in her voice as they made their way over to Cole's apartment.
"Have a funeral, don't worry, everything's going to be fine." Leo reassured Piper softly, hugging her.
"What about Phoebe and Cole?" asked Piper.
"I think that we should just have a private and quiet funeral for Prue, as for Phoebe and Cole, I'm scared that that'll break their power of love, just give it some time, honey and they can say their own goodbyes later." Leo said slowly, thinking.
Piper's tears were already slithering down her face, like a quiet stream, and she pressed her body against Leo's tightly as they both stepped inside Cole's apartment, ready to prepare a quiet funeral for Prue.
Phoebe stepped outside into the already fading sunlight as she shuffled through her folder when suddenly, she found a note from Cole addressed to her. She opened it: Follow the flower of love, it said. But what did that mean? She started walking and turned a corner, trying to work out what this meant and suddenly, she found a long trail of rose petals, all of them blood red and white scattered along the ground creating a magnificent contrast. People were exclaiming and pointing to it. Amused, Phoebe followed the trail and the end of it; there lay an enormous pile of rose petals and on top of it laid another note. Phoebe curiously picked it up and it read, our hearts will form an everlasting path. Phoebe frowned, confused, what did that mean? She walked around the corner again, she gasped at what she saw. In front of her were at least a hundred balloons! Red, pink and white; they were all floating up onto into the air, their strings were weighed down by a rock and the balloons were lined up to form a long and wavy line. Phoebe giggled happily as she followed it eagerly, almost running. At the end she found another note, I adore your chocolate kisses, in front of her she found another trail, this time a thicker one, it was made up of a thin carpet of Hershey's chocolate kisses on the floor and it created a path for her to follow. At the end of it she found a single red rose and tied to it was another note. This time it was longer, At last, a spell that would bring you to me: Our love is bliss I can't describe, creating a sweet world I never knew I could know, with every kiss I vanish within, bring me to your angel Cole. Huh? Thought Phoebe, frowning. She snapped her fingers suddenly and said the spell out loud.
She gasped as she suddenly found herself before such a beautiful scene that she could only stare in awe. Cole stood before her, blushing, almost looking shy. They were in a glass dome, with sunlight shining down on them brightly, the top of the dome was filled with floating heart-shaped balloons and an endless supply of rose petals and chocolate kisses rained down on them, magically shimmering into the air and floating down gently towards them, creating a thick luxurious carpet of the red and white of rose petals mixed with the beautiful silver of the wrapper of the chocolate kisses.
"Where are we?" whispered Phoebe as she continued to stare up at the ceiling in awe.
"This is a room I've spent months creating with magic with some spells that the demon of illusion had taught me. This is our world Phoebe, the beautiful world that we had always longed for." Said Cole, gently taking Phoebe's hand and leading her around the glass dome.
"It's magical, Cole! This is the sweetest thing that anyone's ever done for me!" exclaimed Phoebe in delight as she unconsciously let go of Cole's hand as she touched the smooth glass of the dome. Suddenly, she felt an urge to be in Cole's arms, she ran towards him and jumped straight into his arms. Cole neatly caught her; luckily his reflexes were quick today. Cole and Phoebe chuckled as he gently lay on her onto the heavenly rich-coloured floor of the dome; Cole sat down behind Phoebe and gently pulled her backwards so that she was leaning onto him and into his body as she laid back.
"I wish that we could stay here forever, Cole" Phoebe commented as she sighed with sweet content as she laid her head back against Cole's chest.
"We can come here as often as we like." Cole murmured softly as he too become mesmerized in watching the rose petals and chocolate kisses float down towards them like gentle snowflakes.
"I love you Cole, more than anything in this world." Whispered Phoebe, gently squeezing Cole's hand.
"I love you more Phoebe, you have shown me so much, and you brought out my mortal side and my mortal emotions out of me. I'm only at the beginning of loving you. I feel like I've never feel before, and now every little thing amazes me, like I've never seen the sky before. I can build my world around you Phoebe, I can be everything you'll ever need." Cole replied seriously, his voice full of passion as he gently stroked Phoebe's hair.
Phoebe stayed silent for a moment, absorbing everything that Cole had just said replaying it over and over again in her mind. Oh, she felt so loved, and she loved him so much.
"You have already created a wonderful world for us and you are everything that I'll ever need," giggled Phoebe. They kissed and sat back to watch the floating petals and chocolate kisses.
"I'm,"
"I'm,"
They both giggled.
"Let's say it together, whatever we're both trying to say." A hysterical Cole laughed as he said this, a glint in his eye. "Ready? One, two three!"
"I'm only at the beginning of loving you."
"I'm only at the beginning of loving you."
They both burst out laughing; somehow, it seemed hysterical that they had both just said the same thing at the same time.
After they had calmed down, Cole said, "It may seem crazy, I don't know but when I look into your eyes I see the missing pieces of my soul that I have been searching for all my life. You're the other half of my soul, Phoebe…forever. I feel a nothing else but a sense of completion and I think that I've just found my soul mate."
Phoebe's eyes started to feel watery and her tears brimmed to the edge of her eye, threatening to fall as she listened to Cole's sweet words. "I don't think that I've just found my soul mate Cole." She said seriously.
Cole's smile suddenly disappeared from his face as he frowned but said nothing, too hurt to respond. He felt a light punch on his left arm as Phoebe sat up.
"No Silly, I wasn't finished!" she exclaimed shaking her head, then in a calm voice she simply stated in a matter-of-fact tone, "I don't think I've just found my soul mate Cole, I know that I've already found him."
Cole's face immediately lit up and it showed a huge smile and he chuckled, he grabbed Phoebe and tousled her hair playfully.
"Hey!" protested Phoebe. She got up and chased after an already escaping Cole. She laughed out loud as she chased him and grabbed him around his waist and they both fell down on to the floor laughing. They were panting, trying to get their breath back, still staring into each other's eyes.
"I love you Cole." Whispered Phoebe.
"And can't help but love you Phoebe Halliwell."
With that, Cole put his arms around her and kissed her softly as they gently wrapped their arms around each other, once again floating off into that perfect world full of fantasy and love of their own.
