Hey, I'm back and I've UPDATED!!! Well, so sorry that I haven't updated in like what a month? I've been busy with school and typing wasn't in the schedule. Hopefully, I'm able to type more now. Here's chapter 13, and personally. I don't think it's my best work/chapter. But remember to review and tell me exactly what you think. Thanks!

Chapter 13

Early the next morning, Phoebe awoke to the merrily chirping birds outside the window close to the bed. Phoebe smiled at their little tune and turned around to search for Cole. To her surprise, she didn't see him anywhere in the room with her. She wondered where he could've gone so early in the morning and why did he leave her side?

Last night, as Phoebe recalled it, she fell asleep right after her head hit the pillow. She couldn't remember a thing after that, or when Cole went to bed.

She was sitting up in bed rather confused, and was about to get out when the bedroom door opened. A smile spread on her face gradually.

"Good morning, Love," Cole said carrying in a breakfast tray. "Good morning," Phoebe said. Cole took the rose and handed it to her. Before Phoebe got to say thank you, he leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Don't mention it," Cole stated a step ahead of her. "Breakfast in bed? What did I do to deserve you?" Phoebe asked. "It's the least I can do," Cole stated setting the tray on the bed carefully.

Phoebe took a piece of bacon in her hand and started to bite into it. "When did you go to bed last night?" Phoebe asked. "Do you always fall asleep in weird positions? An arm and a leg hanging off the bed?" Cole chuckled. "Stop making fun. I was tired yesterday. You wore me out," Phoebe said. "Not as much as I'm about to wear you out right now," Cole said.

He swiftly moved the tray to the nightstand and pushed Phoebe down on the bed playfully. "Hmm...Phoebe, you tastes as sweet as you sound," Cole stated kissing all over her neck. "You sound very happy today..." Phoebe insisted. Cole suddenly sat up in bed.

"Oh! That reminds me. I got something to tell you," Cole said. "What?" Phoebe asked sitting up again. "Umm...last night when you were in the shower..." Cole paused. "Uh huh, and?" Phoebe asked. "The call that I made was to the airport..." Cole's voice trailed off and tried to search for maybe a sign of anger or something.

Apparently, she stayed neutral on it. "You're not mad?" Cole asked. "No, why would I be? I have to go back to San Francisco sooner or later. Might as well be sooner," Phoebe stated. "I hope I didn't ruin any plans or anything you had," Cole stated thoughtfully.

"When's the plane booked for?" Phoebe asked. "We have exactly two days to pack and get ready to get the hell up out of here. I know I'm ready to leave, aren't you?" Cole asked.

Phoebe shrugged. "I don't know if I'm ready to go back to a life where I'm 'babied' all the time. That's why I left my sisters in the first place, and some other issues," Phoebe said. Cole nodded just listening to her.

"Being the youngest isn't all that bad. My sisters took care of everything when I lived with them, but they treated me like I was still a little kid. So, I got fed up and decided to leave," Phoebe said. "That simple for you, huh?" Cole asked. "Yeah, I guess it was..." Phoebe's voice trailed off.

There was a moment of silence that hung in the air.

"Well, I'll tell you what. We're never going to get there if we don't hurry up and have some breakfast. Then start packing," Cole said. "You're so right," Phoebe agreed.

After breakfast they went to Phoebe's apartment and started to pack up her stuff into boxes. Mostly clothes and possessions.

Cole was sitting on the floor folding up her clothes when he picked up a piece of lingerie. "Hey, Phoebe. How come you never wore this for me?" Cole asked with a funny looking grin on his face. Phoebe took it from him and said, "Lingerie are made to be taken off. So, it wouldn't have mattered because you probably would've taken if off before you actually got to look at them." "You know me a little too well," Cole stated.

They spent several more hours packing up everything else. Phoebe stood and stretched out. "Are you tired?" Cole asked pulling her back close to his chest and holding her waist. "I could spare a couple of hours with you," Phoebe stated knowing what he wanted without him even saying it.

It was a weird connection between them. As if they were wired to each other. Every move signaled the other. Phoebe never felt so connected to anyone ever before. Cole made her feel like she belonged somewhere in the world. Before he came along, she was alone and hopeless. Now, she had something to hold onto.

Phoebe turned around and faced him. "Thank you..." Phoebe said running her fingers along his jaw line. "For what?" Cole mumbled kissing along her collar bone. "For helping me," Phoebe stated. "No problem," Cole said picking her up. "You know we haven't had dinner," Phoebe said. "Then we're going to have dessert first," Cole stated grinning and carried her to the bedroom.

~~~Couple of hours Later~~~

Cole and Phoebe were embraced in each others loving arms. Resting up before they went out for dinner.

"Phoebe?" Cole asked. "hmm?" Phoebe acknowledged. "I love you and I'll do anything for you. You know that don't you? No matter what happens I still want us to be together because I don't think I can live without you. I know I can't live without you. You've become a necessity in my life now," Cole said.

Phoebe almost grew teary by his words. "I'm glad to hear that, really, I am. I'm just worried about what will happen to us when we get back to San Francisco. And your parents when they find out. I just...I'm worried," Phoebe said. "We'll be fine. Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll get through it," Cole stated kissing her bare shoulders.

Phoebe sure hoped he was right.
