When Phoebe opened her eyes she was no longer in her office, and she was also pissed. She quickly flung her arms freeing herself from Cole's grasp. "are you mental?!" she screamed at him, making her way to the door. He had obviously anticipated her move, because with a wave of his hand, the door disappeared. She stopped dead in her tracks. And turned towards him once again, her eyes flaring in anger.
"You're not leaving until we sort this out" he said quietly. "there's nothing to sort out Cole, what I will have to sort out is how to explain my assistant how I managed to leave me office without going past her!" she screamed at. He slowly came towards her and with his eyes, begged her to calm down. "You'll figure it out, you were always the clever one" he said, as he gently stroked her cheek. She pushed his hand off of her, "NO!! I won't let you do this to me again!" she screamed, she tried to look for a way out, but there was none.
"Phoebe, you know I never meant to do anything to you" he said, almost losing his temper. She huffed at his words and sat on the couch. "I hate you, you know? I hate you sooo much!" she said. He knew she was speaking out of pain, Phoebe didn't really hate him. "Phoebe, I just want to talk about us, stop dismissing me!" he yelled. "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT US!!! THERE IS NO US!!" she screamed, shooting up from the couch and pacing around his living room. Cole finally lost it.
He grabbed her again by the shoulders and shook her, making her calm down. "you don't want to talk about us? Fine, let's talks about Miles, huh? Is that a better topic?!?!?!" he barked at her. This immediately made Phoebe calm down, she was, for the first time ever, scared of Cole. "Cole, please.. let me go" she pleaded.
"NO! I won't let you go until you tell me!!" he screamed, "Cole..." she said, her arms could feel the pressure he was applying, and it was hurting her. "NO! Was he good? Huh? Did he touch you the way I touched you?!?!" he screamed at her. Phoebe remained quiet. "ANSWER ME, DANM IT!!!" he yelled, he shook her, making her wince in pain. "huh? Did he kiss you the way I did?? Did he make you feel the way I made you feel?!" he screamed. The tone of his voice was rising by the minute, and Phoebe's fear grew larger and larger.
Tears began to fall down her cheeks "Cole, you're hurting me, please" she said sobbing. This obviously pulled Cole out of his anger. His eyes softened and he let go of her, he could see the bruises he had caused on her arms. "Oh god" he said, as he gently stroked the bruises. "Phoebe..." was all he could utter. Phoebe was speechless. "I'm so sorry" he said, looking into her tear filled eyes, he was so sorry.
Phoebe knew he was really sorry, she could see his eyes water, she could see his soul breaking, and she understood he wanted the pain to go away, and she knew that the only one that would be capable of doing it, was her. Her hands made their way to his face, she cupped it and looked into his eyes, His beautiful blue watery eyes "It's ok" she said softly.
She than closed her eyes, and felt Cole's lips kiss her arms, her bruises. And she couldn't be happier. All the pain was gone, those lips, those magical lips. "I'm so sorry" he said, as his lips wandered form her arms to her neck. Slowly, slowly to her lips, and they both died.
She was numb, his kiss, she could no longer feel her legs, she could only feel him. She wanted to weep. "I'm sorry" she said, "I... god, I miss you" she said quickly. "I never meant to hurt you, you know that?" he said, not separating his lips from her skin. It tasted different, it tasted so much sweeter. All Phoebe could do was nod, she was in ecstasy. Just the heat that he was emanating, made her want him even more.
Unconsciously, her hands quickly began to unclothe him, his clothes were in the way. They were in the way of her revival, she wanted to feel every portion of his body against hers, it was the only way to be born again, to feel the same way she felt a year ago, when she spent nights making love to him over and over again.
Cole couldn't get enough of her skin, of her scent, of HER. He wanted to devour every single part of her body, he wanted it to last forever. He managed to push her toward the couch and lay her down, her eyes were closed, but she was completely open, in so many ways. He could almost see her soul. And he took full advantage of the opening, and than, and only than, did he feel completely alive.
It was Only moments later, when Cole's heart was once again shattered, when Phoebe uttered four simple words. "This was a mistake".
