Now the table had turned. Cole was now out dating, and Phoebe sitting back home alone on a Saturday night. She was now jealous of Cole's date. Wishing it was her. "What does this mean?" She asked herself. "Am I falling for him? Or have I always have been, but just too distracted to notice." She tried to date others but, they just don't seem to meet up to her expectation. Even if she tried to ignore all of her expectations and give the guy a chance, something else popped up, like the she kept imagining Cole's face on all of her dates. It was like she was becoming delusional. Probably that was why all of her dates never asked her out for a second date. She was in la la land.
There was this one date she has really been excited about. It was an amazing date, until she called out the wrong name at the wrong time.
Phoebe and her date were in her room, and they were making out, when suddenly she moaned out, "Cole."
"Crap!" She thought to herself.
"What did you say?" Her date asked in astonishment.
"I'm so sorry." She apologized. "I didn't mean to."
He just gave her a weird look and walked out of the apartment.
"Well, there goes another one." She thought, falling back onto her bed.
Cole date wasn't going so well either, all of them. All on his mind was Phoebe. Imagining her smiling at him, in the way she had smiled at her past boyfriends. Not friendly, but with feeling. And how wonderful it would be just to hold her in his arms.
"Cole" His date called. "Are you listening?"
"Huh?" He turned back to reality. "Oh, that's wonderful Cassidy."
"Really?" She asked, in a mocking tone. "What did I just say?"
"How you—how you just love the brownness of the horses." Cole stupidly answered.
"Good bye, Cole." She quickly got up and left.
Without protesting, he just waved his hand and threw the breadstick that he had in his hand onto the table, and called the waiter. "Check please."
Back in the apartment, Phoebe was watching an old video tape of him and her in a play, Romeo and Juliet. She was picked as Juliet and he was her Romeo. What was funny about this play was the school was so strict; they didn't even let them kissed. So instead of kissing her on the lips, he kissed her on her cheek. She smiled through out the whole thing; they had messed up some of the lines, and made up their own. She laughed hard at it she didn't even hear Cole came in.
"What's so funny?" He asked, standing at the door.
Turned her head around, she smiled at him replied: "Just watching the tape of Romeo and Juliet."
"What's so funny about that?" Cole asked, hanging his coat on the coat rack.
"Do you remember when we did the balcony scene, and you couldn't remember the line and you just made up your own because you never could remember the speech?"
"Yeah." Cole chuckled. "I got detention for a whole month for embarrassing the school. It's their fault for thinking I had potential." He then took a seat next to Phoebe. "Didn't I write part of the speech on the back of my hand?"
"Yep. And still you messed up." Phoebe laughed harder, watching the part where she was standing on the balcony resting her cheek on her palm and looking up heaven-ward.
"I wish I was the glove to touch thy cheek." The television blurred out.
"What the hell Cole?" Phoebe continuously laughed.
"I couldn't remember the stupid line." Cole said in defense, but still laughing along.
"What about you?" Cole turned the table. "O Romeo, Romeo, where are you now Romeo." He imitated her.
"Shut up." Phoebe elbowed him in the stomach.
"That's a famous line. How could anyone mess up on it?"
"You think it's easy to stuff millions of old English lines into your head and remember it?"
"It wasn't millions."
"Whatever." Phoebe said blushing. "I got a week of detention for the stupid line."
"O Romeo, Romeo, where are you now Romeo." Cole looked up toward the ceiling and mocked her again.
She pushed Cole and then stomped to her room, and locked the door, leaving Cole outside laughing helplessly. "C'mon I was just kidding." He yelled toward her room and continued to watch the rest of the tape.
