Miami
Melody felt so relived, the weight has finally been lifted off her chest and she never felt better. She and Cole can now go on a date and not worry about anything.
"So, have you decided where you want to go, yet?" Cole asked.
Melody thought, for a second.
"Do you have an apartment or a house?" she asked.
"An apartment."
"Let's go there."
"It's not very clean." Cole said.
"I don't mind, I'll be there to see you."
Then she gently kissed Cole on the lips.
The kiss felt so good, he almost fell over.
"Whoa! Are you all right?" Melody asked as she caught him.
"Nice catch." Cole said and they both laughed.
That afternoon, Cole took Melody to his apartment. Thankfully it wasn't too messy. Cole was glad he cleaned the previous night.
Melody barley noticed what was around her. She just wanted Cole. Every moment with him counted. She knew she never felt this way about anyone else before. It was love.
"We should uh, order something because I'm not good at cooking." Cole said.
"Okay, anything's fine." Melody replied.
"What about pizza?" Cole asked.
Melody agreed.
Cole wasn't sure Melody would stay or leave. Of course her wanted her to stay. He knew there was something about Melody, something Phoebe didn't have. That was kindness. She seemed more understanding, from the start.
"So, are you going, yet?" Cole asked.
"Do you want me too?"
"No, of course not."
Melody smiled. She was glad Cole said that.
"That's good, because I don't want to."
It wasn't long before they were snuggling on the couch. Cole looked into Melody's eyes. He wanted to tell her that he loved her. Little did he know was that melody was thinking the exact same thing.
Melody knew about Phoebe, but she didn't say a word. Cole wondered how she felt about him getting vanquished.
"Melody." Cole softly said
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I deserved to be vanquished?"
"No, I don't. I can't understand how Phoebe treated you like that. It's something I would never think about. If I was her, I'd realize what a stupid mistake I made."
"Thank you Melody. Thank you for being who you are." Cole whispered.
They were deeply in love and they knew how important that was to them.
San Francisco
That night, Phoebe checked her e-mails, again. It had been almost a week and Cole still hadn't e-mailed her. She began to feel restless and impatient. She opened her laptop and checked her mail. Still nothing.
Phoebe looked around to see if her sisters' were around. She saw Piper with Wyatt and Paige, in Piper's room. She took her cell phone and walked outside. She didn't want her sisters to hear her conversation.
She called Darryl, to get more information.
"Hello, Darryl?" Phoebe said.
"Phoebe? This better not be about Cole." He said.
"Actually, it is."
"Look, he hasn't e-mailed me. If he does, I know he'll want little to do with us. He's got a new life! He's moved on!" Darryl screamed. The he hung up.
"Darryl's no help, I'm going to have to find him myself, Phoebe thought to herself.
When she walked back inside, Paige and Piper were waiting for her.
"We heard you talking to Darryl." Piper said. "I need to ask you to leave Cole alone. He doesn't deserve this, after what you done. Don't look for him!"
"I love him!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Well, you said it yourself, your love didn't last."
"That was a long time ago."
"Listen to me. I care about you and Cole. I don't want to see either of you hurt, but this time I'm not letting you go. Cole needs a break to start a new life." Piper said.
Miami
When melody woke up the next morning, she felt his body, next to hers. It was warm and she snuggled closer to him. In that moment she felt something strange. It was almost like a message.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Cole asked.
"I don't know, but I think someone wants to find you." Melody said.
"What?"
"Is there anyone after you?" she asked.
Cole shook his head. Surely no one knew where he was.
Phoebe, Cole suddenly thought. What if she wanted to find him?
"Phoebe? Is she looking for you?" Melody asked.
"How did you…"
"I don't know, I just knew. It was as if I could hear you."
"Could you be getting a new power?" Cole asked.
"I'm not sure; I could never read minds before."
"But how did you know what Phoebe thought." Cole asked, still puzzled.
"Maybe it was the connection with you." Melody said.
"Dammit! Phoebe's after me!" Cole yelled.
"We'll find a way to stop her." Melody said.
Then she kissed him and held him tight.
