Chapter 3
** Baby I'm Back**
THREE DAYS LATER
Phoebe was getting worse by the days. She was like a zombie by now. She just got up in the morning, after a sleepless night, called to Cole's office from home, went to Cole's office, then went to work, called to Cole's office again countless times, she went to Cole's offices again at lunchtime, she went back to work, she came back to Cole's office and then to home again. That was the routine in the last few days. She didn't want to talk to someone about it. Elise had called her down twice because of her column, she just was giving crazy advises to the people. And the night were probably the worst of all, she just spent all night long thinking about every time she and Cole were together. From the first to the last. From the first kiss to the last one. Each touch, each caress, each sweet word, each 'I Love you', each time they slept in each other arms, each time they made love….she was getting insane, she kept having fantasies about him, but she knew that she would soon see him again…
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Turner" The blond assistant greeted politely
"Hello Sara. Please to my office" He gently ordered as he made his way into his office and she nodded and followed him in as well.
"How was your flight?" She asked to make conversation.
"Good, very good." He answered as he pulled a pile of files out of his briefcase.
"So, tell me.. how are things here? Caught me up." He said without looking at her.
"Ok, you won the Gump's, Hood's and Rojas cases." She told him.
"Yes!" He said happily with a smile.
"You'll have a meeting with Mr. Jackman next Wednesday." She said as she read in her agenda.
"Uh…you received this invitation to a Charity cocktail is from Londin Corp, so everyone is gonna be there, is next Friday night." She told him as she handled him the white envelope.
"Good, what else?" He asked looking down in the documents he had in his desk.
"Well, I have to inform you that you lost the Lane's Case." She said as she checked in her pad.
"What?!" He said angrily and looked up at her.
"Well, in the end the court accept the fact that the evidence was manipulated so that put the scale to their side. And the judge accepted the appellations." She explained.
"So, Because the evidence?!" He replied angrily.
"Yeah, that's why the investigation is still open." She said.
"But he was guilty! I know it, actually I got two witnesses who certificated that he did it!" He sighed.
"Alright, please gather all the information again belonged to the case to check it out." He asked her.
"I already did it." She said very proudly.
"What?" He asked surprised.
"When I learnt about the case I knew you would 're-check' everything, so I gather all the files." She explained with a smile.
"Excellent. So just call the witnesses and ask them to come tomorrow morning." He told her gently.
Actually he was very surprised of how efficient this new assistant was. He had just hired her two weeks ago, because the last assistant the only thing she could do was talk by the office's phone, keeping the phone line busy most of the time and gossip around about everything, including Cole's stuff. All the company knew about Cole's situation with Phoebe and about important cases, so Cole was very happy when he fired her.
"Alright." She nodded with a smile.
"I think that's it." She said reading in her pad again.
"No, wait a minute." She remembered.
"Actually someone came. She was not very tall, dark hair, brown eyes, very pretty, she was very anxious, it seemed like she really needed to see you." She tried to explain.
"Did she tell you her name? Or a message?" He asked curious.
"No, but the first time she came, she asked for one of your former assistants 'Katie'."
'Katie' Cole thought and then started to think 'Katie was the last of my assistants Phoebe met. Yeah, it must be Phoebe, because Phoebe never met Emma or Sara' then Cole pull out a picture of Phoebe from his drawer.
"Was this woman?" He asked Sara as he showed the picture to her.
"Yes." She said affirmably.
"Didn't she tell you anything?"
"Nope, she just came and asked for you and then left." She answered.
'She must had needed my help to vanquish some demon.' Cole concluded in his thoughts.
"She came like four or five times in the last couple days. True, I lost the count. She came several times." She admitted.
"Really?" Cole asked curious.
"Yeah, actually she also called. Several times too. At first I didn't know it was her, but when she came I recognized the voice."
"What did she tell you when she called?" He asked.
"She just asked for you and then hung up, but she did it Countless times everyday." She explained.
'She definitely needed help with a demon.' He thought
"Who is she?" She asked and put him out of his thought.
"Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have dared. I'm so ashamed-" She tried to apologized and he cut her off.
"It's ok. She's my wife. Ex- wife." He said, he still wasn't used to say 'Ex-wife'.
"I'm so sorry things didn't work out." She said sincerely.
"Yeah, so do I." He said sadly.
"So..." He said trying to avoid the subject.
"It seems like you ran the office very well while I was in Chicago. I have to catch up in some stuff, so why don't you take the rest of the afternoon off?" He offered.
"Really?" She said happily.
"Yeah, you deserve it. And besides you told me you had to study, so… I'll see you tomorrow." He said.
Sara studied at nights, she was in the last year in college to get a degree in paralegal, Cole agreed to hire her if she was efficient, besides she asked him because she really needed the job. And until now, Cole didn't regret his decision.
"Thank you, Mr. Turner." She said and walked off as Cole was still wondering himself why Phoebe was looking for him.
'Should I call her? No, if she really needs me, I'll wait she comes for my help.' He determined.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Phoebe hang up her phone and she smiled. HE was back... Cole was back... The porter just called her to tell her that Mr. Turner was back in town. This porter was worth the 100 bucks Phoebe gave him. She smiled even more at the thought of Cole. She got up, grabbed her purse and drive to the penthouse.
She winked at the porter while she passed him and he thought that this girl was a fool, he had just called her 5 minutes ago and she was already here.
Phoebe was in the elevator. She sighed with relief, her dreams, her fantasies were about to come true.
She knocked on the door. Cole went back home, he has taken his afternoon off as well. He needed to rest a little, so he could work in the Lane's case again, his trip in Chicago has been exhausted.
"Come in." He said as he heard the knock on the door, still looking at the mess of papers and documents he had in the table
Phoebe smiled, his voice, she missed him so much.
She opened the door and ran over him and hugged him tightly.
"God Cole, it's so good to see you again." She said.
Cole was shocked. The last time he saw Phoebe she told him that she felt nothing about him, there was no love, no pain, no fear, no anger...just nothing. It broke Cole's heart, hearing those words coming out from her mouth was too hard to handle.
Cole pulled her away and said: "What are you doing here?"
He wasn't really pleased to see her because every time she was around him, he was suffering, suffering to not be able to touch her anymore. And now she was almost jumping on him and hugging him, was she trying to make him suffer even more? He loved being next to her, he loved when she was hugging him, he loved to smell her scent, but he didn't want her to touch him if it wasn't because she was still in love with him.
"Are you in troubles because of demons? You came here to ask me to help you right?" He asked.
"No, actually I came here to see you." She replied.
"Oh." He simply said.
Since when does Phoebe come to the penthouse to see him? There was something that Cole couldn't explain, she was acting so different since the last time they met.
Phoebe came closer to him and kissed him on the lips.
Cole almost lost himself in the kiss. It was so good to feel her lips against his...
'You have to fight it.' He said to himself.
'You've been trying to forget her so hard, don't fall again Turner, otherwise you're going to be heartbroken again and you know how it hurts.' It was like if another Cole was talking in his head, and this other Cole was right, maybe Phoebe just came here to hurt him more than he already was, and he wouldn't let that happen, not again, not ever.
He pushed Phoebe away from him.
"What the hell are you doing?" He almost yelled.
"I just want to be with you." She said, she never thought that he could push her away like this. Wasn't he in love with her anymore?
"I'm sorry Phoebe, after all the things you did to me, all the things you said to me, all the things I went through because of you...I don't think we can be together again." He explained.
"What?" Phoebe said. She was shocked but then she realized that she has been very mean to him... She wished she had never said those horrible things to him.
"It's over Phoebe." He said.
He couldn't believe was he just said, he loved her more than everything on earth but he didn't want her to hurt him again.
"No Cole, it can't be over, I need you." She said as she walked closer to him.
"It's too late." He said.
Phoebe put her hands on his cheeks and said: "No Cole, please, don't say this, I know you still love me." She begged.
Cole pushed her towards the door and said: "Like you said a billion times before, I'm evil and I'll always be and you have to move on with your life, without me, even if I still love you." He said.
"I want to be with you, I know you can be good." She protested.
"Well, maybe you should have though about this before say all those things to me, before try to vanquish me, before saying that you didn't love me anymore." He said.
He opened the door and said: "Now go."
Phoebe looked down and Cole dragged her out of the penthouse. He walked back in and closed the door.
It was very hot inside the penthouse, so he decided to take off his clothes. He took off his pants and unbuttoned his shirt.
He heard someone knocking on the door. He walked towards it and opened it, and he saw the last person he was expecting...It was Phoebe again...
"Cole we need to talk." She said. Suddenly she noticed that he was only wearing his boxer and that his shirt was unbuttoned, she felt like she was going to faint. He was so hot...She couldn't believe it...He was handsome, yummy, irresistible, sexy, extraordinary, gorgeous...He was just perfect.
"Talk about what?" He asked coldly.
She was so lost in her thoughts about him that she had forget what she wanted to say to him. She was still having hallucinations about him. Right now for example she was thinking that she was kissing him passionately while running her hands on his bare chest, her body pressed against his. That he was kissing her back with the same passion and that he was slowly unbuttoning her blouse.
"Phoebe!" He said, annoying.
She snapped out of her thoughts and said: "Sorry."
"So what do you want to talk about?" He asked.
"Us." She answered firmly.
"Us?" He asked confused.
"There's not 'Us' anymore, Phoebe. You said it yourself. Look, I've suffered to much because all this, and now I'm starting to accept the fact that we can't be together because of all that happened between us. So…You're here telling me that you want me again is not helping me to move on. I'm trying very hard to start a new life." Cole explained angrily.
"Cole, I know I hurt you..." Phoebe started.
"Yeah, That's true." Cole intervened.
"Let me finish." She said waving her hand... "But I realized that I still love you."
"I don't believe you!" He quickly said.
"But I really do. I need you and I want to be with you again. Start from the beginning." She said with hope.
"That was exactly what I proposed to you like a zillion times after I came back from the wasteland, and you just insulted me, humiliated me and pushed me away over and over again and now you come and say that you love me? No, Phoebe. I'm not your toy, which you can take with you and then push me away whenever you please." Cole said.
"But..." And Cole cut her off.
"No buts. It's to late. It's over, Phoebe." He replied. "Now, Go home." He added.
Phoebe just couldn't believe how she had screwed it with Cole. She was the worst biggest bitch in the world, or unless she felt that way. He was right. She was the one who said it was over.
"Alright." She said. "But I'll come back." And with this she left suppressing the tears to fall, leaving Cole in a sea of confusion...
