Sorry it took so long, but here it is....
They lay there lifeless. Their breathing was steady and in unison. Their hearts were beating at the same rhythm. Cole lay to the side of Phoebe, half of his body on her, the other half on the couch, their legs intertwined, his face gently nestled in her neck and his hands still causing Phoebe to become aroused. For Cole, it had all been perfect. For the first time in 6 months, Cole felt he had a purpose on this earth. He gently kissed her neck and smiled at her, "was it as good for you as it was for me?" he said jokingly.
Phoebe, had loved it. He had been amazing, as always, he had never once failed to please her, and this was no different. One of her hands was in his hair and the other was gently rubbing his back when she said. She didn't know why she said it really. Because in her heart she was feeling the total opposite of what her mind had made her say. "This was a mistake" she said gently, while still weaving his hair and caressing his back.
Cole stopped breathing in her sent, he stopped breathing period. His heart stopped, and he gently looked up, trying to find some evidence that the words had been a figment of his imagination. "what?" he asked. Phoebe looked at him with a dazed stare. "It was good, but it was a mistake" she said, shifting from the couch an gently getting up, leaving Cole to lay there with his pants unbuttoned.
She began to quickly button her shirt. "No! Wait... what are you doing?" he asked, as he got up from the couch and buttoned his pants. "Cole, this shouldn't have happened.." she said, as she quickly searched for her clothes. That really wasn't what she wanted to say, it was like she was two people, her heart, wanted to stay and lay there forever with him and make love to him over and over again. But her mind, knew that she had just slept with another man, while being committed to Miles.
"Phoebe, you can't change the fact that it did" he said, as he went to her, looking into her eyes. "but it shouldn't have" she said quickly, "I'm with somebody, and I love him" she said. Cole chuckled angrily to himself. "You don't love him.. you love me" he said to her. "How do you know how I feel?" she asked him roughly, handing him his shirt. "I may not know how you feel, but I know how you felt when we were on that couch" he said quickly, Phoebe broke his stare.
"Look at me" he said, lifting her chin with his fingers. "I know you loved me Phoebe, you loved me on that couch, when I was in you, I could feel it, I... I had you, and I know you gave yourself to me, you surrendered to me" he explained, he was on the verge of tears. "Cole..." she said looking at him. "I have to get back to the office" she said quickly. "Did you surrender to him?" he asked, as he put his shirt on. Phoebe looked to the floor. Cole smiled, he knew it, she couldn't surrender to anyone, but him.
He grabbed her arm, "wait" she said, Cole looked at her, hoping she would say something to him. "blur me outside, than I can just tell my assistant that I went out for a bagel or something" she said quickly. Cole nodded, and blurred her to the restroom of a little coffee house across the street from her office. They were both cramped into a stall, looking intensely at each other.
Each Time Phoebe blurred, she liked it even more, she loved becoming a part of Cole, melting into him. It was just like sex, it felt exactly like it had when they had made love. When he was completely in her, and when they became a single person. She never felt like that with Miles...
"So, this is it?" he asked, pulling her out of her thoughts. Phoebe looked down, and nodded, "I guess" she said sadly. Cole listened to her voice, "what do you mean, I guess?" he asked hopefully. "Cole, it's the right thing to do, and we both know it" she said. "No, the right thing is for us to be together, the right thing is what I felt when we were laying there... the right thing... the right thing is not Miles..." he said, almost angrily. "Cole, I've never cheated and you very well know that... I don't intend on starting now" she said, pushing the stall door open. "So, we just walk away? We forget this ever happened?" he asked loudly, Phoebe ignored him and walked out of the bathroom.
Phoebe quickly exited the bathroom, trying to ignore him, but she couldn't. She didn't want to forget it, it had been sooooo good. She crossed the street and entered the paper. She saw her assistant rise from her seat. "Phoebe...uhh.. well, Miles called twice and Piper once, and Paige once... where were you?" she asked. "I went to get a cup of coffee" she said. "yeah, but how did you leave? I didn't see you, And where's your coffee?" she asked, "you were in the bathroom, they were out" she said and walked into her office. "How can a coffee shop be out of coffee?" her assistant asked herself.
