Chapter 14: A Needed Break
"GUILTY as charged!" The juror finished. Phoebe and Mr. Montgomery relaxed into their chairs, because the suspense was killing them both. It was over; finally and truly over. There were sighs of relief for those who were for Phoebe, and the courtroom was once again in an uproar.
"Silence! Silence in my court!" Judge Donnalbain banged her infamous gravel. The courtroom quiets down almost immediately. "Jason Dean, you are hereby sentence to 4 years on the account of sexual assault. And 10 years for attempted rape, 250 hours of community service and a fine of 100,000. Bailiff, take him away," Judge Donnalbain declared.
Phoebe watched as Jason was taken away by the officer. His icy cold stare had suddenly turned into an expression of fear. "This court is dismissed," Judge Donnalbain banged her gravel one last time and left.
"Congratulations," Mr. Montgomery stood up taking her hand into a firm shake. "Thank you, Mr. Montgomery. We couldn't have done this without you," Phoebe said almost in tears. "You're too kind. You can move on now," He said with a smile. Cole walked up to them. "Thank you," Cole said extending his hand. "You're welcome, Mr. Turner. Good-bye," Mr. Montgomery said.
"You did it!" Cole exclaimed with open arms. "We did it," Phoebe said embracing him tight.
Later that night at P3, everyone thought they should celebrate because the worst was over. Happiness was just about to start, because Phoebe and Cole would be planning their wedding soon.
"To Phoebe and Cole, we wish you two the best in your future," Piper said in her toast. "And lots of children," Prue added. "Define 'lots'," Phoebe said raising her glass. They drank, and sat their glasses down on the table.
"Hey, and I were thinking of taking a vacation," Phoebe said. "That's good, I think you guys deserve it," Prue jumped in. "I wasn't finished yet. We would like it if you guys came along with us," Phoebe finished. "But we don't want to intrude," Piper said. "Two of my friends from New York are coming along, too. It's just going to be a week away from the ordinary," Cole explained. "All expenses paid by our father and Cole's," Phoebe teased. "Where are we going?" Prue asked. "Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas," Phoebe smiled.
"Heck yeah, I'm going!" Piper exclaimed. They all laughed. "So, what's it going to be Prue? We're incomplete without you. Please, come with us!" Phoebe pleaded with a cute smile. "All right, slugger," Prue said.
"Get packed. We're leaving this Sunday at 8:35 in the morning. It's almost a 6-hour flight," Phoebe announced. "I don't think Phoebe can sit for 6 hours," Prue said. "Didn't you hear? The jet has a bed?" Phoebe asked. "Nah-uh! For what?" Piper asked. "Cole's cravings," Phoebe laughed. "I do not have--" "Remember that time when we were---?" Phoebe tried to say, but Cole muffled up her words with his hand. "I don't even want to ask," Prue said. A fresh burst of laughter filled the air. It seemed almost too long since they sat down and had a good laugh together.
Departure Day: 6:15 a.m.
Phoebe's cell phone started ringing as she scrambled to find it. It was somewhere..."Hello?" Cole answered picking up. Phoebe continued to apply make-up in front of the mirror. She couldn't stop yawning for anything. They really shouldn't have partied the night before they were leaving the states.
"Baby," Cole said appearing at the bedroom doorway. "What?" Phoebe asked. "That was your sisters. The limo picked them up already," Cole said. "Uh-huh," Phoebe acknowledged. "What's wrong?" Cole asked. "I have a hangover," Phoebe stated. "You shouldn't have been drinking all that Bacardi last night," Cole said. "I had three glasses, Cole. And a couple martinis," Phoebe admitted. "I warned you. Maybe you should listen to me more," Cole said. "You can yell at me on the plane, okay? Just get the luggage out, please?" Phoebe asked nicely.
The limo pulled up at the front door of the penthouse building waiting. "Cole! The limo just pulled up," Phoebe said grabbing their passports on the table, and cell phones. They practically live off their cell phones, and can go no where without it.
"Are you ready to go, baby?" Cole asked pressing for the elevator. Phoebe shrugged tiredly. "Get hyped up," Cole said holding the elevator for her to get in. Phoebe leaned against the wall, and Cole pressed himself against her. "You can't wait to get to the hotel, huh?" Phoebe asked kissing his lips gently. "I'm a spoiled brat, Phoebe. I always get what I want," Cole said squeezing her butt gently. "Not right now," Phoebe said as the elevator opened up. Cole let out a sigh.
8:45 a.m.
"Please fasten your seatbelts for take off. We should be landing in the Bahamas at approximately 4:10 p.m. Bahamas time. Please stay seated, and press the call button for further assistance," Their flight attendant announced over the P.A. system.
4:05 p.m
"That was the longest fucking plane ride I've ever sat still on," Phoebe complained taking the jet stairs to where a limo sat waiting for them. They climbed in tiredly.
Phoebe was laying on Cole's lap in the limo looking up at him. "Did you call to see if your friends checked in yet?" Phoebe asked running her fingers around his neck. "I'm sure they're here," Cole said. "Are they cute?" Piper asked. Phoebe laughs and replied, "Does someone finally want to get laid?" "It was just a question," Piper said. "Are they cute?" Prue asked again. "Yeah, they're young businessmen. I know that much," Phoebe said vaguely more interesting in Cole.
"Well, they're from New York. Businessmen who don't get out much. One's 26, the other 29. Both unmarried so feel free to grope to your hearts content," Cole insisted with a grin. The sisters giggled.
The limo pulled up to the Royal Towers at the resort. They climbed outside to the cool breeze and welcoming sun that made the sisters vibrant skin glow with an unusual light.
"Let's go check-in, shall we?" Cole asked. While they were standing around the lobby chatting, and having the bellboys get their stuff in; Phoebe's cell phone rang. "Hello?" Phoebe picked up. Pause. "Yeah, hi, dad. We're safe and sound at the resort. As a matter of fact, we're checking in right now. Look, dad, I know we haven't been on the same page lately. But...I would like to thank you for doing this for me; for us. It means a lot to me, and I want to thank you," Phoebe said. A minute later Phoebe hung up with her father.
"What was that all about, sis?" Prue asked. "We're finally at terms with each other again. I feel great," Phoebe said smiling. Piper spotted these two cute looking men coming down the royal stairs of the hotel dressed in very expensive clothes. "Please tell me those are Cole's friends," Piper said. "That would be them. Come, I'll introduce you," Cole said holding onto their hotel room keys. Phoebe linked her arm around his as they came up to his friends.
"Andy, Leo...I would like for you to meet Phoebe's sisters; Prue and Piper," Cole said with a grin. "Please to meet you," They both said kissing the sisters hands. As soon as they could take their eyes of the beautiful women standing before them; they greeted Cole and Phoebe.
"When did you get here?" Cole asked lightening up. "An hour ago. Hi, Phoebe. I hope you're doing well," Leo said. "Yes," Phoebe answered politely. "Well, we will be at the Royal Baths Pool. Join us after you get settled in. We have a cabana waiting," Andy said eyeing Prue oddly. "Later," Cole called after them.
The sisters after them, and eyed their assets. "Ladies...Ladies!" Cole called. Piper and Prue turned around startled. "Sorry," Piper said with a timid smile. "We have the Royal Towers biggest hotel suites. They come with butler service so don't hesitate to call them if you need anything," Cole said handing them the room keys. "Right. Thanks," Prue said pulling Piper into the elevator.
Phoebe looked up at Cole and asked, "So, what are we going to do?" "We're going to meet Andy and Leo in the cabana for awhile. Then, we'll go anywhere you like," Cole said kissing her lips sweetly.
Knock, knock! "Are you going down to the cabana with us?" Phoebe asked when her sisters opened the door. "Yeah. Piper, let's go!" Prue shouted. "Alright, I'm coming!" Piper exclaimed coming to the door.
They were all in sizzling bikinis and Cole walked out in his white robe. "Baby, you look so sexy in your white robe," Phoebe said jokingly. "Wait until I take it off," Cole grinned pulling Phoebe into a fiery kiss. "You two do have a room," Piper said irritated.
They made it outside to the pool, and found the guys cooling in the cabana with alcoholic drinks. They sat down for a drink, and spoke to each other. Cole did most of the talking while Phoebe got her tan outside the cabana. An hour later, Cole left Piper and Prue on their own with the guys.
Phoebe and Cole ventured out to Cove Beach, and had a private moment with each other. They picked a palm tree and sat under it wrapped up in each other's arms. "It's so beautiful here, Cole," Phoebe said laying her head on his upper arm. "Let's go Christen our bedroom after dinner," Cole said. "Is that all you can think about, honey?" Phoebe asked. "I'm sorry, I'm a man. I can't help it, but I say it out of love," Cole explained himself kissing her forehead.
"Well, I think we should go get ready for dinner before we lose our dinner reservation," Phoebe insisted. "5 more minutes," Cole pulled her back down. "You sound like me in the morning," Phoebe stated falling back into his arms and into a breathtaking kiss.
Dinner Villa d'Este
2 Hours Later
They finished their dinner, and bought a couple of beers out to the beach to drink. Phoebe's sisters were in the water with Cole's friends splashing around in the chilly water. "Let's go for a swim, baby," Cole insisted tugging at her soft hands. "No, it's too cold!" Phoebe exclaimed as Cole picked her up and threw her in the water. Phoebe submerged from the ice cold water gasping. She seriously didn't think Cole would do it. He joined her seconds later pulling her into his arms.
"Baby, I can't believe you did that," Phoebe said wrapping her legs around his waist and kissed him. Cole kissed her back running his hands over her arched back.
Piper and Leo were nearby swimming around in the chilly water in their undergarments. "I think I'm going to go up now," Piper said with water dripping down her face and neck. "Okay, I'll walk you up," Leo said as they moved closer to each other. "That would be great," Piper said softly leaning into his lips. Their tongues intertwined for the first time under the moonlight sweetly.
"We should make ourselves scarce," Phoebe whispered in Cole's ears after seeing that between Piper and Leo. Prue and Andy were on the shore talking to each other. Without another word they swam ashore, and grabbed a towel before making their way up to their hotel room.
Phoebe was shivering by the time they made it into their bedroom. "Let's go take a hot shower, baby. You're going to get sick," Cole stated. "I'm ," Phoebe said making her way into their bedroom and to the bathroom, which was sparkling clean.
Cole was right behind her; he closed the bathroom door suddenly. Phoebe looked up a little surprised, but Cole's always been a surprise. "You didn't think I was going to leave you alone, were you?" Cole asked taking her by the waist. "I was hoping you weren't going to," Phoebe said with a smile as she undressed herself and got into the steaming shower. Cole stepped in after he took off his wet attire, and dropped them onto the floor.
The nervousness from Phoebe's body didn't measure up to the nervousness she felt when Cole put his hands on her bare skin. It's been long since she felt his hands on her bare skin, and the heat from the splashing water made Phoebe want to scream from the emotions she was feeling when he touched her.
"Don't be nervous; I'm not going to hurt you," Cole said using his bedroom voice as he pushed her up against the shower walls. "I know you won't," Phoebe said looking up at him with her seductive brown eyes. "Have I told you lately how beautiful you look, baby?" Cole asked tracing her red lips. "I don't think we had the time to notice each other," Phoebe said caressing his lower stomach driving his mind crazy with intentions of what he wanted to do to her. "Well, let's take advantage of that right now, baby," Cole stated.
Temptation took over their bodies, and they soon were grinding against the shower walls moaning each other's names through the rising steam.
"Well, good night," Leo said standing outside the door. "Good night," Piper said. "Um...I just want to tell you that I thought you look gorgeous at dinner, and that I enjoy spending time with you," Leo said with a grin. Piper smiled shyly, but thanked him. "Well, it's getting late. I should let you go to sleep," Leo said turning to leave. "Leo..." Piper called after him. He turned back around. "Would you like to come in? For coffee?" Piper asked. "Sure," Leo answered after a short pause. Piper closed the door after he entered with a smile.
Phoebe was cuddled up into Cole's arms under the covers in their sleeping attire. "I love you," Phoebe said softly. "I love you, too," Cole said kissing her lips. "Cole, do you think I'll be a good wife?" Phoebe asked out of the blue.
"I think you'll be the perfect wife," Cole replied. "How is that?" Phoebe asked. "One; you truly and honestly love me. Two; you support me and always encourage me to go after my dreams. Three; you don't ask anything of me because all you need is for me to love you. Four; you are incredible anywhere and I know it for a fact," Cole chuckled at his last comment.
"Cole!" Phoebe said. "But the point is, baby. The list goes on and on. We're perfection when we are together," Cole said. "I'm scared, Cole. There's so much to do before the wedding, and I don't think I can handle the pressure," Phoebe said. "We'll handle it together," Cole insisted kissing her fingers one-by-one.
"It's two o'clock in the morning. We should go to sleep," Cole said placing tiny kisses on her cheeks. "Yeah, if we can pry ourselves from each other," Phoebe said referring to their need to make love to each other over and over. Cole chuckled rolling on top of her, and whispered sweet nothings into her ears.
Next Morning
No one woke up earlier than eleven o'clock. As far as Piper knew, Prue was staying with Andy for the night. And well, she kind of fell asleep with Leo last night watching a movie. Phoebe was still asleep when Piper called their room.
By noontime, they set out for lunch as a group at the Lagoon Bar & Grill. Each person was taking turns yawning. "I'm tired. Is anyone else tired?" Cole asked. They all nodded. Phoebe was resting her head on his arm kind of weary. "Are we going anywhere today, because I really don't want to go?" Phoebe asked. "An excursion to meet the dolphins, but I don't think that's even happening today," Cole stated looking at the tired faces. Their last night festivities personally wore him out.
After that day, the rest of the week was filled with relaxation and fun excursions to the beaches before they went back home. Everyone seemed to be having fun, and enjoying themselves.
Piper and Leo seemed to have gotten to know each other better over the week of vacationing, but it was difficult to tell where this relationship was expected to go. Since Leo's a really busy man and all, Piper didn't think it was anything but a fling. She knows what Phoebe goes through when Cole is away on business, and Piper just doesn't want to have to sleep in an empty bed anymore.
Phoebe was really happy for Piper, because the two of them seem so content and happy with each other. Maybe they found their soul mate...
"Come to New York with me, Piper," Leo pleaded holding her hand. "I wish I could, Leo. I have responsibilities at home," Piper said. There was a slight pause before they said anything. "I guess I can't ask you to forget about them. But...Will you call me?" Leo asked. "You might be too busy, Mr. Wyatt," Piper joked. "Not for you. Whenever you're in New York, here's my address. Feel free to stop by," Leo stated. "Thanks," Piper said taking his card. "Have a safe trip," Leo said kissing her cheek. "You, too. Bye," Piper said boarding the plane.
"I've had a great time with you, Prue. Maybe we could do this again sometime," Andy said. "That would be nice," Prue replied smiling. "I'll call you," Andy said with a grin. "Miss. Halliwell, the plane is scheduled to take off in five minutes," The flight attendant stated. "Thanks," Prue said to her.
Turning back to Andy, he surprised her with a gentle peck on the lips. "Good-bye, Prue," He said. "Bye," Prue responded stepping up onto the stairs. "What was that all about?" Phoebe asked buckling up. "M.Y.O.B., will you, sis?" Prue asked taking her seat. "I think we should welcome your friends into the family, Cole," Phoebe said with a devilish grin. "I'm ready to go home. I miss my house," Cole said.
"We'll be landing in San Francisco at approximately 10:00 p.m.," The flight attendant announced. "That's kinda late...I'm going to sleep," Phoebe yawned leaning onto Cole's shoulder.
THE END!!!
