Phoebe watched Cole leave, in a fit of anger, disgust and longing. She wanted him so bad, she needed him. He was in her again, he was coursing through her veins yet again, making her burn for him, making her yearn for him with every fiber in her body, and he just walked out, just like that. It made her want to cry
Phoebe was pulled out of her train of thought when Miles set her coffee down and a muffin in front of her, she smiled at Miles, and began picking aimlessly at her muffin, trying to avoid his stare. He obviously noticed and gently touched her chin and made her look at him.
"are you ok?" he asked worriedly, she made a feeble smile and nodded, "it's just work" she lied. Miles looked at her, "work? Well, maybe work should leave me girl alone" he said giving her a kiss. Phoebe smiled, Mile was so sweet, and he was always so concerned and he was just...not Cole, she thought...
Miles continued to stare at her, wondering what was going on. He grabbed her hand with a grin and kissed it sweetly. "honey, talk to me..." he said concerned. Phoebe nodded, "it's just work Miles..." she said, tears filling up in her eyes. "Phoebe, it's not work.." he said looking at her, "I'm worried about you, what's going on?" he asked, scooting closer to her.
Phoebe immediately responded and scooted away from him. "Miles, I'm fine, please.." she said looking down at her coffee, trying to hide her tears from him. "Phoebe! What the hell is happening? I'm worried dammit..." he said harshly making Phoebe look up. He saw the tears in her eyes and his expression softened considerably. "Pheebs.." he said wiping a tear from her cheek.
"Miles...please..." she said getting up, "I need to be alone, please..." she said as she stumbled out of the coffee house and quickly across the street and into her office. "hold all my calls.." she said to her assistant as she slammed the door of her office. She was finally free to break down.
She angrily began throwing her papers on the floor, crying hysterically, thank god her office was sound proof, (courtesy of Elise so her employee could concentrate on her letters and her advice) somebody would've called the cops. She hated this whole thing, she hated Miles, she hated Cole, she hated her sisters, she hated herself.
She had half destroyed her office when she came across the divorce papers, she picked them up, a bit calmer and looked at them angrily. If he had signed them, none of this would've happened and in a feeble attempt to make things right, she dialed the number of his office.
"hello?" he answered. "it's me.." she said half heartedly, "Phoebe, hey, I didn't except you to call me this early, I was...this is a surprise.." he said. Phoebe immediately cut him off, "shut up and come to my office..." she said angrily. Cole stared at the phone a little taken aback and shimmered in front of her. "what's wrong?" he asked, looking around the office, everything was a mess. "what the hell?" he asked picking up some of the stuff, trying to help her.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him up, "stop...I need you to sign this.." she said handing him the papers. Cole looked down at the papers and then at her, "you can't be serious..." he said with a little nervous chuckle. "I am..." she said handing him a pen. "please.." she said quietly, almost begging him to do it...
"Phoebe...no...we..no..NO" he said setting the pen down. "please Cole, I need this.." she said, "no, what you need is therapy..." he said throwing the papers on the desk. "first you screw me, then you say we can't be together, then you come running back to me and claim that you love me, and when I ask you to break up with Miles, you make me sign divorce papers?" he asked, "you're insane.." he said angrily. "Cole, please, don't make this more difficult then it is.." she said.
They were looking at each other intently. Phoebe could see the hurt in his eyes, the way he choked back the tears. Maybe she had been a little crazy lately, she was confused, she didn't know what she wanted, but she definitely didn't want Cole hurt...
Cole just stood there, in disbelief, just staring at her. How could she do this? After all that had happened, she was just gonna put an end to it? It couldn't be, he wasn't gonna let it happen. But then he looked down at the papers, and at the pen, this was gonna hurt him more than a sword or a letter opener through his hand...
"Fine...if that's what you want then.." he said, as he reached for the pen, and when he did she grabbed it from him, and threw it across the room, and pulled him to her and kissed him. He wasn't following, he was lost, he had no idea what was happening. Not only because of the way she was acting, but because of the way she was kissing him, touching him, he was losing it...
Phoebe had seen him grab the pen, and the pain got caught in her throat, she couldn't make him do this, she didn't want him to do it, because she loved him. She loved him more then she was able to admit at the moment. She adored him, she worshipped every inch of his body, of his heart, of his soul.
Phoebe pushed him against the desk and laid him down, shooing away her papers, just kissing him, indulging in how he tasted, in how right he felt underneath her, and in how was completely surrendered in her body, in how he touched her and made her feel unbelievable, and when they were right in the middle of something so great, the door opened and a voice called out to Phoebe...
"Phoebe..." it said, and she and Cole both stopped looking at each other and looked at the door. "Miles.." Phoebe said out of breathe
