Chapter 6

That afternoon , Phoebe was getting ready for the dinner party with Cole. The sun was just setting and she was thinking about the party.

She's never really been to rich-peoples boring parties, so she didn't know how to feel. She was excited, but yet a little nervous at the same time. Oh, well, Cole was going to be there. So, it's a very good thing.

Phoebe was watching the last of the sunset when the sun was setting. Then, the phone ring and she went to pick it up.

It was Nico for like the 100th time that week. He said that if she doesn't start working standard times. He was going to cut her check down in half. Phoebe understood this, and decided she'll work standard times and only in the afternoons. It wasn't like she had a choice.

As if she was going to quit and run into Cole's arms, please! What was he going to do? Marry her? Yeah, right.

A little before seven, Phoebe out on her dress after having to do her hair and putting on make-up.

It was the most elegant thing she's ever put on herself. It was a white, low-cut, midriff kind of a dress. She was sparkling in glitter! Phoebe wondered how Cole's reaction to this would be. Phoebe hopes that he likes it.

Phoebe heard someone knocking at her door. "Coming!" Phoebe shouted going to get it. It was Cole. She least expected him to arrive on time, but he was on time.

"Hi," Phoebe said timidly, but she was happy to see him. "Hey," Cole greeted. "Would you like to come in?" Phoebe asked politely. "You look dazzling. Kind of like these diamonds..." Cole said revealing a box with a glistening diamond necklace and earrings.

Phoebe gasps at them. They were exquisite. "Put them on," Cole insisted. "Cole, I can't," Phoebe said. "What? You don't like them? Are they not big enough?" Cole asked. Phoebe giggled at his choice of words. "No, Cole. Their perfect. I just can't accept them," Phoebe stated. "Why not? I bought them for you. I didn't spend a whole day at the mall for you to say no," Cole stated taking the necklace out of the box.

"Please, for me?" Cole asked adoringly. Phoebe smiled and nodded. He tried to put it on her with her facing him, but it was kind of difficult so she turned around. Cole never knew how soft her delicate skin was until now.

Feeling that he was done with putting the necklace on her, Phoebe turned back around to face him. "Are we ready then?" Cole asked. "Yeah," Phoebe said locking the door to her apartment. She noticed Cole was wearing a white tuxedo too, which totally matched her dress.

During the limo ride to the dinner party, they had some wine to celebrate Phoebe's first time on attending one.

"To you, on your first big dinner party," Cole said and they clinked their wine glasses together gentle. "So, what is it with these parties that are so interesting?" Phoebe asked curiously.

Cole thought about it for a second and replied, "There's really nothing that's interesting. It's just everyone who's rich and important has to come out and mingle with one another. I never understood why and I'm not going to start now." Phoebe smiled and asked, "So, why do you go?" Cole replied, "Cause it makes you look good. And my parents make me."

Their was a slight pause after that. "What am I supposed to do there again?" Phoebe asked. Cole chuckled and answered, "Just be yourself." Phoebe nodded.

At the Dinner Party:

Cocktails were being passed around as people talked and greeted with each other. A real classy place that ball room.

Phoebe and Cole were making their way through the crowd and were headed to the garden, but his parents spotted him first. He tried to make a quick getaway, but failed trying.

"Cole! Cole, dear!" His mother was calling after him. Cole stopped and turned around. "Mom...When did you and dad get here?" Cole asked. "Didn't you hear me calling you?" His mother asked while his father walked up to them.

"Why, who's this precious angel?" His father asked him. Phoebe smiled. "Phoebe, this is my mom, Crystal. My dad, Benjamin. This is Phoebe," He introduced quickly. Phoebe shook their hands and asked, "How do you do?" Cole looked at her like she was crazy. That was another way of saying how are you, but more respectfully.

"What a lovely young lady," Crystal stated. "So many people, so little time. We're going to go now," Cole said tugging at Phoebe's hand and pulling her away. "Nice to meet you!" Phoebe exclaimed when she was being yanked off with him.

They had slowed down to a walk and dodging through people. "Where are we going?" Phoebe asked him as he was still holding onto her hand. "You'll see," Cole said leading her out to what was a garden. It had water shooting from a spring and pretty little lights. It looked very romantic.

Enough to take Phoebe's breath away, besides Cole anyways. Phoebe turned to him and looked up at him curiously.

Cole thought she was the most dazzling thing in the world. Even stars would get jealous of her sparkle.

"So, what are we doing here exactly?" Phoebe asked him timidly. "I...I um...," Cole couldn't get his words out the way he wanted to. Phoebe laughed at him as quietly as possible. She heard him sigh loudly. "Oh, don't worry about it. I get that a lot. You can talk to me," Phoebe stated. "'I think your beautiful," Cole blurted it. "Thank you. And now your making me blush. I'm going to look like an apple now," Phoebe joked.

Catching her off guard, Cole leaned down and kissed her lips gently. Phoebe wasn't expecting it, but she wanted to kiss him too. So, she went along with him. Cole pulled away suddenly, looking like he had the best idea in the world.

"What is it?" Phoebe asked. "This party is whack. We should go somewhere else," Cole suggested. "Where do you suggest we go?" Phoebe asked. "We should go to dancing," Cole said. "Um...These clothes are not made for dancing. Besides, can you dance?" Phoebe asked. "You'll have to find out. So, is it yes or no?" Cole asked. "Yes, but what are we going to wear?" Phoebe asked.

Cole wasn't sure if he should tell her that he had this all planned out before they even left that day. "Don't be angry, but I sort of had a back up plan for us if this party gets boring. Let's go," Cole stated walking her out to where their limo was parked.

His parents who were standing over a view that overlooks the parking lot of the ball room, saw them racing off into the limo. "What kind of an appearance does he think he'll have pulling a stunt like this?" Benjamin asked his wife. "Let him go. He's grown up," Crystal stated. "Who is this girl anyways?" Benjamin questioned.

One of Cole's rivalry overheard the conversation and decided to answer it for them since he knew all about Phoebe anyways.

"Mr. Turner. Pardon me, I just couldn't help what you were talking about. I'm Richard from Sterling Enterprises," He introduced himself. They greeted him politely and Benjamin asked what was it that he knew about Cole that they didn't.

"Well, I don't think it's any of my business but...This girl Phoebe Halliwell works at a dance club. Cole found her there and he's been chasing after her ever since. She's not exactly in his league, but far from it. What would the media say if they found out?" Richard asked and paused. "Well, enjoy the party," He said smiling and walking away.

Cole's parents looked and each other. They weren't going to let Cole get to know some girl from a dance club. She was no good and was totally wrong for him. They were going to put an end to this one way or another.
