Chapter 2

"Trust Matters"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The next morning, Phoebe woke up because someone was knocking on her door.

She moaned with disappointment and lazily asked: "What?"

"Pheebs, you're going to be late for work." Piper replied through the door.

'Work... it sucks, but I have to go.' Phoebe thought and she felt Cole's hand wrapped around her waist.

'I won't go.' She thought again as she smiled.

"I... I... I'm going to call in sick Piper, I'm having a big headache." Phoebe said and for once, it was not a lie, her head was hurting because of all the wine she had drunk.

"Okay, do as you want, Paige and I will be at P3 all day and if you need a whitelighter, call Paige because Leo will be busy with his others charges at the other side of the world." Piper explained.

"Okay, thanks Piper." Phoebe replied.

As she heard Piper walking away, Phoebe's smile became wider. She was already thinking about what she could do to tease Cole this morning.

The first thing she did was to turn back and to cuddle in his arms. Cole smiled and kissed her on the forehead, he didn't want to tell her good morning because somebody could hear him. The both of them had missed so much this amazing feeling of waking up next to the other. Phoebe loved to feel the smooth heat of Cole's body instead of the coldness of an empty bed, to see his handsome smile and his blue piercing eyes but what she always preferred was his kisses.

She pressed her body against his and kissed his chest as a reply to his kiss on the forehead but with the difference that she was already teasing him with his tongue. She didn't wait to long for Cole to play the same game. He grabbed her firmly by the waist and kissed her passionately. Phoebe couldn't help but moan, wishing that no one in the manor had heard her.

"Got ya." Cole whispered in her ear.

"What?" She whispered back.

"You moaned first." Cole replied still whispering.

"I wasn't playing, I didn't even know you were playing." Phoebe protested.

"You should keep your voice down if you want me to stay honey." Cole whispered.

"I hate you when you do that." Phoebe whispered as she playfully hit him on the shoulder.

"Do what honey? Win at your own game?" Cole asked with his best smile.

Phoebe sighed as a sign of protestation and repeated: "I hate you."

"Okay, bye." Cole said before shimmering away.

Phoebe jaw's dropped; she couldn't believe it, he left, how was it possible?

She heard a new knock on the door and heard: "Pheebs, we're leaving, take care."

"Thanks Piper, bye." She replied.

Some seconds later, she heard the front door of the manor closing.

"Cole, you better come back fast." She said out loud.

Cole immediately shimmered back in and Phoebe asked: "How dare you?"

"Wow, looks like someone is mad." Cole told her.

Phoebe tried to calm down, she knew Cole was only teasing and he was pretty good at it.

"My sisters left, why don't you join me in bed?" She asked seductively.

"Oh I see, you don't hate me anymore, now that I can be useful for you." He said.

Phoebe sighed.

"I was just kidding, you know that." She replied but then she realized that she would have to do the first step. Cole could be a little likely sometimes. She got up and walked towards him. She ran her hands on his chest and gave him the seductive look and smile that she knew will make him melt. She gave him a peek on the lips and then she started kissing him more and more passionately while running her hands all over his body until he couldn't resist and kissed her back with even more passion, desire and lust.

"You're driving me crazy." He told her between kisses.

"That's what I was planning for today, do you like it?" She replied the same way he did before, without letting her lips not pressed against his for more than a second.

"Love it." Cole replied, he was almost out of breath but didn't care; all that mattered for him right now was the kiss, their kiss, this kiss that was sending him waves of pleasure and that was making him shiver.

For the first time since what seemed to Cole an eternity, they were finally sharing some time together, just the two of them and according to what Piper said earlier, no one will bother them before a long time. He will take time to kiss her as long as he wanted to, and he would make love to her slowly, for once, they weren't going to make this quick, with the fear of Piper or Paige calling Phoebe because of a power of 3 problem. He would take his time to love her and to show her how much he loved her.

Phoebe was so happy to be there, alone with her man, with the love of her life, with the guy who was making her shake when he was kissing her, she was so happy to enter what she called 'their private little world', where all that mattered was the other, where the real world was far away, where time stopped running out, where she felt safe and loved. Those moments with Cole were like heaven and so precious that she was enjoying every single moment and was trying not to forget it, at least until their next meeting. She was storing all the love he was giving to her for one week until they meet again.

Cole led Phoebe to the bed where they laid down, as usual, Cole was on top and they kept kissing for a moment until Cole pulled apart.

He looked deep in Phoebe's eyes and said: "I love you so much baby."

Phoebe smiled; she was touched by the way he said it. It was not like it was the first time he was saying that he loved her, but the look in his eyes, the tone of his voice was making this very emotional, very touching and sincere.

"I love you too honey." She replied before kissing him on the lips.

Cole laid on his side and started caressing Phoebe's side while he was starring at her.

"What?" Phoebe asked a little shyly and with a smile.

"I was thinking about everything we went through... And... and it's amazing where everything led us. Even if it's a little hard not to live with you, not to be okay with your family, it worth to fight to be able to spend some time with you because it's only when I'm with you that I'm totally and perfectly happy." Cole replied with a smile that made Phoebe melt.

She was at the verge of tears, it was stupid because she couldn't be happier with Cole in front of her, but the things he was saying were making her feel that way. She snuggled up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Cole didn't need any answers from her, he knew she was feeling the same; he was able to see it in her eyes, in her smile and to feel it in her kisses, in the way she was acting with him.

After some minutes of cuddling, Phoebe pulled apart and asked: "Aren't you going to make love to me?"

Cole laughed and said: "I was just waiting for you to ask."

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Still under the sheets, sharing the essence of each other's heat after at least 3 hours of being making love, only caring for the other existence and just enjoying the other's presence.

They'd had to wait for days to be together like this again, but it worth it, it really did. She was all cuddled up in his strong arms while he just gave her little kisses in her face.

"Hey", she whispered seductively

"Hey", he replied in the same tone

"Guess what?", she asked

"What?", he said

"I love you." She declared.

"Really?", he followed the game and she nodded. "You won't believe this"

"What?", she questioned

"I love you too", he said and they kissed passionately.

"Phoebe?", Paige knocked interrupting the romantic silly talk, "Phoebe?"

"What the hell?", Cole questioned

"What the hell is Paige doing in here?", Phoebe whispered.

"How could I know? She's not my sister!", Cole whispered back

"Phoebe? Piper told me you didn't feel very good, please open the door.", she shouted from the outside

"Damn it, I have to open the door", she whispered

"But Phoebe-", he said

"Just gather your clothes and get in the closet. I'll make her go away", Phoebe said as she got off the bed and helped Cole to gather his clothes and she tried to put on something as well, all she find was her panties and bra, "Hold on a second I'm... uh... I had to... I'm a little busy right now, hold on...", she made up.

Finally Cole reluctantly got in the closet and Phoebe closed the door and opened the bedroom's door.

"Hey Paige, what's up?", Phoebe said nervous

"Phoebe why are you so red?", Paige asked suspicious

'Because I was having amazing sex with Cole when you came to bother me', she replied mentally, "Eh...uh it must be fever, yeah I don't feel pretty good."

"Ok", Paige just nodded, "I have a lunch date with Vince", she said, "I was wondering if I could borrow your new earrings?", she asked

"Yeah, sure", she replied, "I never accept a lunch date, by the way", she added as she went to her vanity to get the items Paige just asked.

"Why not?", her sister asked

"Cheap imitation of dinner", Phoebe just replied, "Ok, here you go, bye", she said. 'Why don't you just push her out the door?', she asked mentally

"Why are you like that?", Paige asked

"Like what?", she asked back still nervous

"Almost naked?", Paige insisted. Phoebe just looked at herself and didn't know what to say. She suddenly saw a robe on the chair, took it and put it on while avoiding Paige's question

"Phoebe?", Paige insisted

"Uh... I.... I was... you know...uh.... Changing my clothes.", she tried to explain laughing nervously.

"Ok", Paige accepted. "Phoebe... uh... ", she started

'What now? I already gave you the damn earrings, go away so I can get back to bed with Cole!', Phoebe thought

"Things... are going good with Vince, you know", Paige continued

"Good for you", Phoebe quickly replied, 'Now go away'.

"I was wondering...uh... can I ask you something?", Paige mumbled

"Sure", her sister replied against her will. The least she wanted right now was one of those sisterly chats.

"Well, things are going great with this guy, we've been dating for like 5 weeks now and he's great but we're not as close I'd like us to be", she started

"What do you mean?", Phoebe asked confused

"He's kind, funny, too funny I'd say, gentle and I feel there's chemistry and I really like the guy but in the bed...", she trailed to say, it was kinda embarrassing, it was like 'Paige can't you even find the screw of your life with a guy who can be good in the bed?'. And even if she trusted her sister, she couldn't help but still blush a little.

"Oh is that what all was about?", Phoebe asked.

"Well, it's important", she declared as she sat on the bed. 'If she knew what had been happening earlier in there she wouldn't sit in', Phoebe laughed at the thought. The fact that Paige sat meant that this would be long.

"Remember when we used to talk about it?", Paige asked

"Talk about what?", she replied innocently

"You know when you used to tell us about how great Cole was in bed", she reminded her

'Oh shit!', she thought. And also remembered that Cole was still listening from the closet, she figured he would get mad at her because her 'over sharing' about their intimate. "What do you mean?", she asked. She was sweating because she was really nervous.

"I mean, Vince is a great guy, I like him a lot, but it's like something inside of me... I've always dreamt about finding a guy who could surprise and... just, you know, take my breath away", she expressed. She was being the more straight and sincere as she could, after all she was asking her big sister for advise.

"I see.", Phoebe just replied, 'go away!', she thought. Her mind was still in the bed with Cole doing great things to her

"You know, I want to feel the same way you expressed you felt while you were with Cole, you know, like those nights when sex can replace the sleep.", she continued

"Ah...", Phoebe managed but she really didn't know what to say. "That's in the past", was all she could think of at the moment

"Yeah, but I still can't forget all the nights we couldn't sleep because of you two having fun", she said with a grin and laughed. Phoebe joined the laugh and she couldn't help but blush, but still very nervous.

'Phoebe you have to think about something to make her go.', she thought, and then Phoebe the physiologist started talking, "Look Paige, what you have to do is to think about things that really matters besides sex, you have to see that if you guys really have a connection, you know and see if you can work this out and I know you will", she said as if her sister were a reader.

"Are you trying to say that sex is not important?", Paige asked

"Yes", she quickly, all she wanted was her out of her room, but Paige just kept talking like a radio.

"Phoebe, do you feel alright?", Paige asked suspicious

"Yes", she quickly replied once again. "It's just that...I ...uh... I'm not the best person to talk about it these days", she confessed.

"Phoebe, since when you don't... uh...you know...", Paige persuaded

"What?", Phoebe asked innocently

"Have sex?", she simply asked

"Paige!" , she reacted, 'Just a couple of minutes ago', she replied to herself. 'Oh my god, Cole; he's still on the closet', she remembered, "Look, Paige-"

On the other hand, Cole was dying inside the closet, he didn't know if he was mad at Phoebe for telling this things to her sister; he was definitely mad at Paige for interrupting, but deep down, this chat had turned to be kinda amusing and interesting for him. He'd had something not most men had the chance to hear, and he found out that women say everything between them and the most important that he was really good in the bed, or at least Phoebe enjoyed it.

"Come on, tell me", she teased, "Phoebe..."

"The one-nighter at the Cocktail's night", she quickly said, "Happy?"

"What? Wow. Phoebe that was like 3 months ago", Paige said

"Give or take a couple weeks", Phoebe filled

"Poor girl... oh my god, did you become celibate?", she asked shocked. At this Cole almost broke out laughing, but he controlled himself. "It must be hard", she continued

"You better go, you'll be late", Phoebe cut off.

"Oh yeah, thanks sis, we'll keep with this later", she thanked and started to leave when she noticed a shinning object between the bed and the nightstand, it seemed like a man's watch. "Is that a rolex?", she asked as she came closer and picked it up. Phoebe went pale. At the same time, inside the closet Cole touched his wrist looking for his watch, 'Damn it', he thought.

Phoebe was still quite; she was running out of ideas.

"Whose is it? Look it's obvious this is not yours", she said still holding the watch.

Phoebe took from her and said: "This is... uh... of a friend of mine... ah... guy from the paper, yeah a guy from the paper"

"How did it get here?", Paige asked suspicious

"Ah...", she started, "Ok, he forgot it when... we... you know... we came here one afternoon while everyone was at work, we slept together and I guess he just... he just... dropped it."

"Phoebe", Paige said with a smile, "You're a bad girl".

"Yeah", she nodded

"Didn't Cole have one similar?", Paige asked, she knew she had seen it somewhere.

"ah... Cole? You mean Cole?", she asked quickly trying to avoid it

"Yes, Cole, your freaking ex-husband, remember?", She insisted

"Yes, well maybe he had one similar, I don't think so, don't remember.", she assured her.

"Ok. When did it happen?", Paige questioned

"A couple of days ago, maybe", she replied

"But you just said you hadn't been with a guy since the cocktail's", Paige remarked

"Well I ...uh... I lied", she just replied

"Tell me about him", she said

Phoebe started to think, "He's great, yeah... nice butt, gorgeous, amazing blu- I mean, green eyes", she said

"Wow sounds like a hottie", Paige commented

"A real hottie... I was attracted by him since the first moment", she added. At the moment she was talking about Cole, but Paige didn't know it, the problem was that neither did Cole.

"Nice lover.", she continued and then corrected herself, "No, awesome lover"

"He sounds really good, did he really... you know top where Cole topped it?", she asked

"Better", she quickly said.

"No way, with Cole's reputation?", Paige asked

"You can not even imagine", Phoebe replied

"You had really kept it", Paige said, "What's his name?"

"What? A...uh .... Name? C- Kyle, yes, Kyle", she replied.

By this point Cole was deadly jealous and he was dying for get out of that closet. I mean, he just found out, Phoebe the woman of his live, was screwing some Kyle guy and this was better than him? He couldn't believe it, he was really mad...

Of all a sudden, Phoebe started to cough.

"Oh, poor Phoebe, you have to get some rest. I'll leave you alone." Paige said.

"Thanks." Phoebe said.

"Thanks for the earrings and the sister talk." Paige said, kissing Phoebe on the forehead and leaving to room.

Phoebe went straight to the closet and opened the door. Cole got out of there with a not very happy expression.

"Let's get back to our little business, So... where were we?", Phoebe said as she started kissing him

"not so fast I got ears you know", he broke apart. Phoebe started kissing him again and led him to the bed.

"But hey, while we're having fun remember to scream my name not Kyle's", he said madly

"What?", Phoebe broke apart

"Yeah, I didn't know you were screwing another guy", he said, "and it sounds like he's better than me", he added. "So, what am I in your eyes? A toy?"

"Cole, I was making it up", she defended, "If you hadn't let your watch there, i wouldn't have had the hardest time trying to make up something Paige could actually buy"

"So this is my fault now?", he asked pissed

'Damn you Paige' Phoebe thought, now she was in troubles

"I thought you loved me." Cole said.

"I do, baby, I do love you, I swear Kyle is nothing for me, he's just a co-worker." Phoebe assured him

"Yeah, right!", he almost yelled doubtfully.

"I don't even know his last name!", she shouted

"Let me guess, isn't it Kyle 'awesome in bed'? or wasn't it Kyle 'better than Cole'?, he asked with pissed sarcasm, he was really hurt.

"Baby, I was talking about you"

"I think I'll better go." Cole said

"No Cole, please baby stay." Phoebe pleaded.

"I have nothing to do here anymore, but hey... why don't you just call Kyle? so you'll have some fun." He said before shimmering away.

Phoebe sighed and sat down on the bed.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Two hours later, Phoebe decided to call Cole's office.

"Hey Sarah, it's me, Phoebe. Is Cole there?" She asked.

"Yeah, but what have you done to him? He's such in a bad mood." Sarah replied. "It surprised me to see him here, I thought you guys were going to spend the morning together, but he was so pissed when he came that I didn't even dare to ask. What happened?"

"He thinks I'm cheating on him." Phoebe sadly said.

"Oh man, that explains everything." Sarah exclaimed. "Is it a fever between guys? I had that very exactly discussion with Alex last week", she commented

"Really? What did you do?", Phoebe asked.

"I told him that if he even dared to call off the wedding I would kill him while he slept", she said and they both laughed.

"Can I talk to him?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, I'll see what I can do." Sarah replied.

"Cole, Phoebe's on the line." She said to her boss.

"Tell her I don't want to talk to her." Cole madly replied.

Sarah sighed and said: "I'm sorry Phoebe, he doesn't want to talk to you."

"Damn it." She said.

"How can he think that I'm cheating on him? That's not fair, I love him and he's supposed to know that." Phoebe said.

"Well if you ask me I think it's stupid, you know guys say women are bitches, jealous and everything, but in the end they worst than us. Believe me." Sarah said in an analyzing tone.

"How do I get that crazy idea out from his head? He's so stubborn." Phoebe complained.

"I have an idea, let's try this. I'll tell him that there's someone else on the line and he'll take call and talk to you." Sarah said.

"You're gonna get fired." Phoebe said.

"Don't worry about me, I know him and I know he won't really fire me, I mean where will he find an assistant like me?" she asked joking. "He'll just say that because he's angry and the good part is that I'll have the afternoon free for wedding planning and when I'll come back tomorrow in the morning he'll feel so guilty that he'll even apology." Sarah explained.

Phoebe chuckled at that. "Thanks Sarah, you're the best." Phoebe said.

"I know that." Sarah replied with a smile.

"Cole, Mrs. Rosemary is on the line." She lied.

"Cole Turner, I'm listening." He said picking his phone.

"Cole, I love you." Phoebe said.

He didn't let her time to say more and hung up the phone and shouted: "Sarah, you're fired."

"Really? Are you sure?" She asked dramatically.

"Yeah." Cole replied.

Sarah smiled, took her purse and left the office, she knew she wasn't really fired, Cole was just saying this because he was angry, she'll come back tomorrow and everything will be fine, she was pretty sure of that.

On the other hand, Phoebe was making his life hell that day, first when they were in a great moment, willing to start something amazing again, her sister interrupted them and she made him to get in a closet where he found out she was screwing another guy and as it weren't enough that this guy was a god in bed. And now, Phoebe being Phoebe found a way so 'his' assistant teamed her to work against him. And now he had to do the work all by himself because he had sent Sarah home, all because of Phoebe.

But Phoebe, only Phoebe could remove and shake up his life like this, she just could take everything and made it hers. She had so much power over him, only her had power over him.

He kept with the paperwork... 'Damn where's the transcription of the last hearing from this case?' he questioned looking around his desk. 'Damn Sarah...' he sighed.

Even though she could be bitchy and likely sometimes, she was a hell of a good and efficient assistant. She was hated at the office, because she had got a promotion in less than two months of getting there, but she really deserved it. She had got her degree in paralegal and she had efficiently assisted and worked for a pretty important case Cole had won.

'She's sleeping with her boss.' Gossip around said. 'She got it while her boss screwed her', people said when she got the promotion, but she didn't care about what people said, and happily accepted her new position. Now she was taking paperwork cases and study them before pass them to Cole, she also was taking cases of her own, like those that didn't need litigation. She didn't have to wear the stupid skirt suit secretary uniform from the law firm staff anymore. And even though she still was the picking the phone and organizing the files, she wasn't a secretary anymore, she was practically Cole's partner... the firm even offered an assistant to work for Cole and Sarah, but neither of them accepted since the both of them managed it just fine.

He just sighed deeply one more time and got back to work... with no girlfriend, no assistant and not even lunch for today because it was Sarah's turn to bring the food... he angrily turned on his laptop and got to work.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

When Cole came back from the office that night, he found Phoebe sat in front of the door of the penthouse.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked madly.

"I want to talk to you." She said, getting up.

"I don't want to talk to you." He replied, opening the door. Phoebe followed him in. "I have nothing to talk to you."

"I'm gonna quit my job." She firmly stated.

He acted as if he hadn't heard her.

"If you think the story I made up with Kyle is true, you're all wrong Cole because you're the only one. Kyle is just a co-worker, nothing more. I'm quitting my job so that you won't have to be worried about me cheating on you." She explained.

"You love your job." Cole said, a little surprised of what she just said.

"Yeah, but I love you more." She said looking straight in his eyes. "And if I have to quit my job to be with you, then I'll do it." She added.

"Don't do that." Cole said.

"Don't think I'm cheating on you." She replied.

"I did everything to have you back, I don't want to screw it one more time." She added.

She approached him slowly, looking in his eyes.

When she was close she enough to kiss him, she brushed her lips against his and said: "You're the only one awesome in bed for me and you're the only one who can try to be better than Cole."

"I fired Sarah because of you." He told her.

"She'll be back tomorrow." Phoebe replied.

They were still very close, but Cole didn't want to give up so easily.

"You hurt me." He said.

"Let's go to bed and I'll apology." She replied with a smile.

"I'm too tired... I had to work by my own today." He added.

"I'll spoil you and take care of you." She said.

"You're unbelievable." He said.

"Unbelievable and not cheating on you." She said.

"I love you." He said before kissing her.

Suddenly, he pulled apart and asked: "What did you say to your sisters to leave the house?"

"Huh... Does it really matter?" She asked.

"I just want to know." Cole said.

"I told them I was going out with Kyle." She said quickly, fearing Cole's reaction.

He looked at her for a while and finally said: "Let's finish what we started this morning."

She smiled and they started kissing.

*-*-*-*-*-*

They both were in the bathtub, with candles and listening to soft and relaxing music... Phoebe was behind Cole with her legs wrapped around his waist, she was massaging his chest... this was part of the spoiling...

She loved the feeling; she had always loved it, being close to him, taking care of him. He was used to take care of her but the contrary was pleasant as well.

She couldn't even remember the last time they had a bath together, she had missed it so much. It was the most relaxing thing on earth with making love. She could be falling asleep in the hot tub with him in her arms. The candles, the smell of the oils in the water and the relaxing music were helping a lot. Too bad they couldn't share it more often; too bad they couldn't have a shower together in the morning. She hated so much to be far away from him, but now was the time to enjoy the moments they had together without any sisters to bother, just the two of them, caring one for the other.

"Feeling better?" Phoebe asked.

"Maybe." Cole replied.

"Maybe is not an answer." She told him.

"I love being here with you but..." He started.

"But, you're still thinking about that guy." She filled.

"Only a little." He told her.

"Don't worry after this bath and what I've planned to do to you afterwards, you'll totally forget him." She said.

Her hands made their way to his side and she whispered: "Close your eyes baby."

Cole did as he was told and closed his eyes, enjoying Phoebe's hands treatment. She ran her hands on his side and then on his belly, massaging him gently and slowly.

"Love that." Cole almost whispered.

As her hands were now making their way to his chest, she started kissing his shoulders and his neck, teasing him with her tongue. She kept kissing his neck; she knew he loved it.

"Where we fighting about something lately?" Cole asked to tease her.

"No, I don't think so." She replied, entering his game.

"You know I love you and you love me too, right??" He asked, not that he wasn't sure that she loved him but sometimes he needed to hear her saying the words.

"I love you Cole Turner, but sometime you can be such an idiot." She said.

"That's why you love me." He said.

"Yeah, that's why I love you." She replied.

"I'd really like to kiss you now." He said.

"Suit yourself Mr. Turner." Phoebe told him.

He leaned his head backwards, resting on her shoulder and waited.

Phoebe frowned and he asked: "What? You're the one taking care of me. You have to kiss me."

She smiled and bent her head to kiss him passionately. They both moaned and after a while, they pulled apart.

"The water is getting cold." Phoebe whispered.

"Too bad you can't shimmer to my room." Cole said.

He gave her a peck on the lips and said: "I'll do it for you."

With that, they shimmered in the room and made love. After a while Cole didn't even remember why he had been so mad about. It all had been a 'Trust Matter.'
