Phoebe turned around, and gasped in horror. Miles, was standing there, with a surprised and almost hurtful glance directed towards Phoebe. She was paralyzed. She didn't even want to move, but she knew she had to if she wanted to spare miles a little les pain.
She slid off Cole, and covered her chest with her shirt, and tried combing her hair a bit, while saying the normal cliché she thought she'd never catch herself saying, "It's not what it seems". She heard Miles snigger, while she buttoned her shirt and quickly ran after him outside the office. She noticed people looking at her, wondering what she was doing, running a after a guy screaming she was sorry.
"I don't want to hear it Phoebe!" Miles screamed, as he exited the bay mirror, with Phoebe close on his tail. "Miles, I'm serious, hear me out!" she said, finally catching up to him. She clutched his arm and saw his tear stained face, her heart broke.
"Just let me go Phoebe...go back to him" he said softly. Phoebe looked at him and nodded, and uttered a single syllable, "No..." she said. It took her a bit of time to understand that she had just said no to exactly what she had wanted. She had wanted to be with Cole, she wanted to dump Miles and he was doing it for her, and she rejected the offer. She didn't understand herself...
"it's what you want" Miles insisted, knowing that she wanted to be with Cole. They were meant to be together. Phoebe looked at him and nodded, "No...I don't....I...I love you" she said softly. Miles looked at her and nodded, "Phoebe...I just walked in on you with your ex-husband...how can you tell me you love me when clearly, you're still in love with him" Miles said, small tears forming in his eyes.
Phoebe looked at him and nodded, "No...I want to be with you" she said. Inside, she was terrified. It was as if she had no control over the words that were coming out of her mouth. She didn't understand at all why she was saying these things. In her heart, she was relieved that Miles walked in on her and Cole, but her mind was making her spit out words that expressed to Miles that she was in love with him, when she knew, her heart belonged to Cole.
Miles looked at her, a bit disturbed and nodded, "I...I need time..." he said, passing a hand through his hair. "Miles..." Phoebe began, but was interrupted quickly by his lips pressing down on hers. "Just give me time" he said as soon as he separated himself from her. Phoebe looked up at him, and he smiled back, and she knew that he was going to forgive her, but he just needed time. She really didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
***
Cole watched Phoebe go after him, a bit disappointed, but he knew she had to come back. She had told him she wanted to be with him, not with Miles, and now, there was no excuse, because Miles was bound to break up with her, and that meant she would be single, and he and her could have a life together. He felt Giddy.
He stood up and hummed softly as he buttoned his shirt, making sure the door was closed. He was positive that the whole Bay Mirror new exactly what was going on, everybody had seen everything, but he honestly did not care, he was getting Phoebe back. He passed a hand through his hair and sat back comfortably just as Phoebe walked into the office.
"Yay!" he said childishly as he got up and ran to her, hugging her. But something was wrong, because she didn't hug back. He looked down at her and nodded, "what?" he asked lightly. Phoebe looked up at him and nodded, "I..." she began. She had to tell him that she hadn't broken up with Miles and that they were still technically a couple, but if she did, she would lose Cole. For sure she would lose him and he would go back to Sarah and then everything wouldn't work out. And she didn't want to lose him.
"what happened?" he asked, pulling her out of her thoughts. "I...I love you" she said softly, as she buried her head in his chest. Cole sighed and pulled her close, and kissed the top of her head. "I love you too...and I promise you, you're not making a mistake Phoebe" he said, trying to wipe the insecurities he knew she had.
"I...I know" she said as she looked up at him and nodded. She had just gotten herself into the biggest mess ever. She really did feel like there wasn't enough air in her lungs. She had told Miles she loved him, and wanted to be with him, and now she told Cole she had broken up with Miles, when in fact, she was "in love" with him. She was in a BIG mess now.
But it didn't matter as much because she had Cole. She was in his arms, she was with him, she was..."PHOEBE!" she heard.
She turned around to find Elise, standing at the door. Her glare was threatening and she was obviously very very angry. If she were a cartoon, fire would be coming out of her ears. Phoebe separated herself from Cole and looked at Elise, hoping to god that she wouldn't fire her. "a word" Elise said sternly. Phoebe nodded and looked at Cole, who understood completely. He grabbed his jacket, and kissed Phoebe's forehead for luck and walked out.

"You know how we work in this office Phoebe..." Elise began, "we work hard, and we dedicate ourselves to our jobs, we DON'T dedicate ourselves to screwing our ex-husbands on the desks" she explained. "The commotion you caused...I did not sound proof your office so you can have sex inside of it" Elise said, angrily.
Phoebe looked at her and nodded, she knew she was right. What she did was wrong, EVERYTHING she had done that day was wrong. She nodded in agreement with Elise, still hoping to god she wouldn't get fired. She hadn't planned on getting intimate with Cole on the desk, nor had she expected Miles to walk in on them and destroy the mood and her reputation.
"You do realize that people in this office think you're a slut..." Elise said aggressively. Phoebe nodded and lowered her head, staring at her lap. "I'm very sorry Elise..." she said. Elise looked at her and nodded, "sorry is the last thing you should be...you should be fired" she said harshly. Phoebe's head bucked upward and nodded, she felt like a little student getting expelled by the principal.
"Please...Elise...don't fire me" she said softly, trying very hard not to let the tears fall from her face. Elise looked at her and nodded, "just take the day off Phoebe" she said, "I can't talk to you right now, I can't look at you, just go..." Elise said. Phoebe didn't know if she was firing her or not. "You and me will have a meeting tomorrow at 11" she said softly as she left the office.
Phoebe watched her leave and sighed. She had to get out of there; it was very very hard to breathe at the moment. She grabbed her purse and walked out of the office, ignoring the looks she was getting fro her colleagues and walked to her car, and drove directly to the one place she knew she would be safe and away from everybody and everything. Cole's penthouse.

Cole was happily folding some laundry, humming softly, looking very un-demonish in plaid blue boxers and a smile. He couldn't help but feel incredibly happy. He folded a t-shirt and set it down just he heard a knock. He sighed and walked out into the living room and opened the door, forgetting he was just in boxers, he opened the door and his heart leapt slightly.
"Phoebe..." he said with a smile. Phoebe smiled back, despite her bad mood. There was just something about Cole in boxers that made him look astounding. She stepped in and he closed the door, "I...don't you have to work?" he asked. "are you complaining that I'm here?" Phoebe asked with a sly smile, she didn't want to talk about that right now.
Cole smiled and nodded, "Not at all..." he said, as he gently pulled her to him, kissing her. Their lips met and again, the electricity was unbearable. Her tongue seemed so soft and moved so expertly well, he was definitely just rising to the occasion. Phoebe moaned and pushed him towards the bedroom, dropping every item of clothing on the floor, so they would arrive completely naked to the room.
They both tumbled on the bed in a fit of giggles, chuckles, kisses and soft licks. They both took their time, as they knew there wasn't much of a hurry and they were both pleasure delayers. But then the inevitable came, she needed him inside of her and he needed to be surrounded by her. The held on to each other, enough time for them both to reach the release they needed and laid spent in each other's arms.
Phoebe looked at Cole and smiled. "you still haven't told me what happened..." he said. Phoebe looked at him and nodded, "well...Elise called me a slut and told me to take the day off...we're having a meeting tomorrow to see about my professional fate" she stated softly. "Oh..." Cole said, "well, I didn't really mean that...I was talking about Miles" he said.
Phoebe looked at him and tensed rather nervously, "well..." she began. Think Phoebe, think, she thought, "there's really no much to tell" she explained, "I told him that me and him weren't working out and that, well...I was still in love with you" she said. "wow..." he said, "you know for something you've been hesitating about, it was definitely very easy for you" he said, kissing her forehead. Of course you dimwit, I didn't do it, Phoebe thought to herself.
"Yeah...well" she said, just as her cel phone began to ring. She sat up and was about to get out of bed but Cole held her back, "don't..." he said, "it's so comfy here with you" he said. "Yes...I know" she said as she gently kissed him, "but it could be Elise" she said as she opened her cel phone. "Miles" it read. She panicked and looked at Cole, who was absentmindedly kissing the small of her back.
She couldn't help but smile and nodded, she had to answer, or else Miles would suspect something. Why was she even doing this? She didn't even love Miles, but then, if she didn't, then why was she holding on? Perhaps it was that she feared that being with Cole wouldn't work out and in case it didn't, she wanted to have a fall back. She looked at the cel phone and Cole looked at her, "pick it up" he said softly.
Phoebe looked at Cole and nodded, and pressed the send button. "Hello?" she said, as she walked out of the room. "Hi..." she said as she heard Miles voice. "I...well, yeah, I'd love to go to dinner and talk..." she said lightly, "yeah, and I promise we can work this out "she said, half terrified of the words that were coming out of her mouth. "All right...tonight at 8...I'll meet you there" she said as she hung up.
She sighed, wondering what the hell she was getting herself into. She walked back into the room and layed back on the bed, but before Cole could ask what had happened on the phone, she kissed him and soon, Phoebe's phone calls were the least of their worries, in fact, they had no worries at all. Except for Phoebe, who was in a very very big lie.
Phoebe turned around, and gasped in horror. Miles, was standing there, with a surprised and almost hurtful glance directed towards Phoebe. She was paralyzed. She didn't even want to move, but she knew she had to if she wanted to spare miles a little les pain.
