Chapter 9

After awhile of driving in silence, Phoebe begins to get aggravated at him. She also noticed he wasn't even changed. He was still in his blue robe. He wouldn't answer her questions about her dad anyways.

"Cole? Where are you taking me?" Phoebe demanded. "To my summerhouse so that maybe I can change into some real clothes. See, I was so worried about you I forgot my own clothes," Cole stated rather jokingly. Phoebe smiled at him and he smiled back.

"You never answered my question," Phoebe stated. "What?" Cole asked. "How'd you know my father?" Phoebe asked. "Oh, um...connections? I got a word that someone was looking for his or her daughter who happened to move to New York a few years ago. I went to him and asked him if it was you he was looking for. He said yes it was and recognized me as the boy from the family who owned all those banks. He asked what I was to you. I said I was your boyfriend and he seemed shocked. Why is that?" Cole asked.

Phoebe looked at Cole and shrugged. "Well, my boyfriends were never really decent ones and you're just probably the perfect one. That's why he's probably shocked," Phoebe explained.

"How were your old boyfriends?" Cole asked. "They ran with a bad crowd and let's just say they never treated me the way my dad 'thinks' I should be treated," Phoebe answered. "Like a princess is how you should be treated," Cole stated pulling up to his summerhouse, which was still huge.

They got out of the car and walked hand-in-hand to the front door. Cole opened it and quickly disarmed the alarm system. Phoebe stepped in and closed the door behind her. It was a cozy little place. Still fancy, but made to look very summer like. He had a pool in the backyard.

"Another thing about my old boy friends. They didn't live in houses like this nor had twenty different ones," Phoebe stated. Cole kissed her forehead sweetly and said, "Make yourself at home. I'm going to go get dressed real quick." Phoebe nodded and walked around the place.

She found some pictures of Cole when he was a little boy by the fireplace. He looked different, but still adorable.

She passed by a big case of what was full of big trophies. All of them with his name engraved into them. He went to state in debate teams, 1st places for art and 1st places for swimming. Phoebe never knew any of this and it just occurred to her now.

Phoebe started to question that she should know this before she slept with him, shouldn't she? Then again, really knowing someone takes time.

"Cole?" Phoebe called out making her way to his room. "Yeah, baby?" Cole acknowledged. "Did my dad say anything about me?" Phoebe asked standing at his door way now. "Uh...He asked how you were doing. And he says he misses his daughter," Cole replied putting on a blue dress shirt.

Phoebe walked over and started to button it up for him as she spoke. "Misses me?" Phoebe asked with a slight scoff. "If he missed me enough, he would of came home a long time ago. Sometimes, I think he doesn't even love me," Phoebe stated tying his tie.

Cole was amazed at how she knew how to tie a tie. She seemed a natural at it. Phoebe was finishing up with his tie when he lifted her chin up. "He loves you, Phoebe. I know love when I see it. Just like I see love when I look at you," Cole stated. Phoebe gave him a smile. "I've never been good at hiding my emotions," Phoebe admitted.

Leaning down, Cole kissed her lips slightly. "One question," Cole said parting her. Phoebe straightened out his tie and asked, "What?" "How did you learn how to tie a tie so well?" Cole asked. "My sisters date guys who are sort of like you. Business-like and stuff. They taught me and I just remembered," Phoebe said.

"Do you miss them?" Cole asked putting a belt on. "Um...Yeah," Phoebe sounded unsure. Feeling her tense up again, Cole left that subject for another time.

He sat her down at the table in the dining room and cooked some breakfast for her. Cole decided to make pancakes. It was quick and easy. Phoebe watched him in amazement. A guy that cooks, that is definitely a perk.

Cole noticed her gaze at him dreamingly. "What is it, Phoebe?" Cole asked. "Oh, uh...You just look so much better in the kitchen then anywhere else," Phoebe stated. "It's sexy," Phoebe added. "Really? Maybe I should cook more often for you. And you can undress me with your eyes. How does that sound?" Cole asked. Phoebe giggled.

Bringing a heap of pancakes to the table, Cole sat down with Phoebe for breakfast.

"Milk or orange juice?" Cole asked. "Milk, please," Phoebe said as he started pouring her a glass. "Thank you," Phoebe said. "So, let's get down to business. Do you want to see your father?" Cole asked. "Depends when you want to take me, or you could just give me his address and I'll go myself," Phoebe stated.

Cole swallowed a mouthful of pancakes first before speaking again. "Depends if you want me there or not," Cole stated. "Sure, I want you there. So, when are you taking me?" Phoebe questioned. "Right after we get you changed," Cole said.

They quickly finished breakfast and were on the run again to get to Phoebe's apartment.

In the car:

"Are you still working, Phoebe?" Cole asked her. "No, actually...I'm not. I got word that I was fired and I'm glad I did. Cause if I was still working, I wouldn't be here with you right now," Phoebe replied truthfully.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" Cole asked. "I never thought I'd say this, but I want to go back home. To my sisters," Phoebe answered.

There was a silence between them for a little while. "Things probably ended badly with your parents, huh?" Phoebe asked. Cole didn't answer. "Their probably thinking it's my entire fault now that your going agonist them," Phoebe added.

"They can think whatever they want to. I'm the only son they have. It's not like they can opposed to whom I love for the rest of my life," Cole stated. "But..." "But nothing, Phoebe. They'll get over it," Cole said.

He pulled up to Phoebe's apartment and walked her in. Following her into her apartment. He closed her door behind them.

Phoebe was getting changed into some decent clothes as Cole was reading over her college application for some community college in San Francisco. He worked up the courage to ask her about it.

He walked in on her changing her top. Phoebe gave a shy smile and pulled down her top. "Sorry," Cole apologized. "Um...I couldn't help but notice this is on the table," Cole said holding it up. "It's nothing. Throw it away, will you?" Phoebe asked.

Cole sat down on the edge of her bed and asked, "Is it something you want to do?" Cole asked. Phoebe nodded. "What do you want to major in?" Cole asked. "Philosophy," Phoebe answered. "That's deep," Cole said. "What do you want to minor in?" Cole asked. "Business," Phoebe answered. "Okay. Do you mind if I borrow it?" Cole asked. "Take it. Shred it if you want to," Phoebe said.

Cole placed it in his pocket and asked her if she was ready to leave.

"No...Not really. I have little butterflies in my tummy," Phoebe stated. "Whatever happens...happens. But you just remember that I'm going to be there with you," Cole said. "That is so good to hear," Phoebe said smiling and taking his hand.

"What does he do?" Phoebe asked. "Runs the Architecture Company. He and several other people decide which designs get through and actually get built. He's sort of like the big boss," Cole explained while walking back to his car.

He opened the door for her and she got in. They drove for what seemed like an hour, but it was only 20 minutes.

Cole pulled up to this big building that seemed to stretch towards the sky forever. Phoebe looked up and admires the structure and how high it was.

"Are you ready?" Cole asked holding her hand. "Yeah," Phoebe said stepping out of the car and waiting for Cole to come around.

He took her hand and started up the pavement to get into the building.

'What's going to happen after this?' Phoebe asked herself silently.
