Chpt. 13
Miami
(One week later)
Phoebe couldn't believe how believe how beautiful Miami was.
"I'll have to bring Cole the next time I come." She whispered, so sure they'd get back together.
Cole was in the back of the Witche's Lair, fixing a light switch, when Leo orbed in.
"Leo! You scared me!" Cole exclaimed.
"Sorry, I just want to let you know that Phoebe's here."
"What! Where!" Cole shouted, looking around the club.
"No, not here, but here in Miami. She's meeting with Abigail Watson, the advice columnist at the Miami Herald."
"Great." Cole sighed.
After walking around for an hour, Phoebe started to feel hungry. She looked around till she spotted the Witche's Lair.
"Hmmm, interesting name." she whispered, walking in.
Melody was standing behind the bar when she felt a change in the air. She felt Phoebe's desire for Cole and her desire to find him. She needed to get out of here, right away.
"Melody, I need 3 wind spritzers and 2 beers." Kandie said, unaware of melody's agitated state.
"Melody? Mel? Are you listening?"
"She's here." Melody whispered.
"Who's here?" Kandie asked, looking around.
"Cole's ex-wife. I need to get out of here. If you see Cole, please tell him I need him."
"Sure."
San Francisco
"Did you tell him?" Piper asked when Leo orbed in.
"Yeah, but the Witche's Lair is close to the Miami Herald offices."
"Well, if they come face to face, I hope Cole can convince her that he's moved on." Piper said.
Miami
Cole needed to talk to Melody. With Phoebe around, he needed Melody more than ever. He didn't know that Phoebe was sitting a few feet away.
"Kandie, where's Melody?"
'She went home, but she needs you. She was very upset when she left."
"Thanks." Cole said, running out the back door.
Melody was lying on the bed, crying, when Cole walked in.
"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked, lying down next to her.
'She's here." She whispered.
"Who?"
"Phoebe. I felt her."
"I know. Leo orbed in and told me she was in Miami."
"No, she's at the Witche's Lair. She's still looking for you. She wants you back."
Cole pulled Melody into his arms and sighed.
"I don't want her back, I love you."
"What's she like?" Melody asked.
"She was wonderful, in the beginning, but then the Seer stepped on. She changed everything. When I came back from the Wasteland, she wanted nothing to do with me. She became a selfish, self-centered…witch."
Melody turned over and hugged Cole.
"I'm sorry."
Cole could tell that Melody was still upset.
"Mel, I don't love Phoebe, anymore, I love you. The second I looked into those beautiful green eyes of yours, I was lost."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
After her meal, Phoebe paid her bill and left.
"Cole would really love this place." She whispered as she walked out the door.
Kandie watched Phoebe leave. She couldn't believe that she was Cole's ex-wife. She seemed so nice, but appearances can be deceiving.
Miami
(Two days later)
After Phoebe's visit with Abigail, she decided to have lunch at the Witche's Lair.
Cole was sitting at the bar, talking to Melody, when Phoebe walked in. She couldn't believe her eyes
"Cole? I can't believe I finally found you!"
"Phoebe." He sighed.
"Why did you leave? I thought you loved me."
"You divorced me." Cole said, leading her to a table, close to the bar.
Cole sat, facing Melody. He needed to see her, make sure that she was there, waiting for him.
"I divorced you because you were evil and you made me evil too."
"Phoebe, I didn't make you evil, the Seer did." Cole explained.
"I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I'll fix everything when we get back home."
"I am home." Cole said, but Phoebe never heard him. She was too busy rambling on and on about what she planned to do when she got home.
Melody couldn't believe how selfish Phoebe was being. She wasn't even listening to what Cole wanted, anymore.
Cole couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and quietly walked outside. Phoebe followed him.
"Cole? What's wrong?"
"Phoebe, I'm not going back, with you, to San Francisco. I live here now."
"What do you mean? I know you're angry because I divorced you, but we'll get married again, I promise."
Cole was so angry. He wanted to shake Phoebe, to get her to understand. Instead he grabbed her by the arms and shouted.
"Don't you get it? I'm not going back with you! I live here, with Melody! Now why don't you go back home and leave me alone!"
Melody was worried about Cole. She knew he wouldn't hurt Phoebe, but Melody felt if he was pushed against the wall, Cole would push back. Just then the door opened and Cole walked in. He walked over to her and held her close.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear.
When Phoebe walked back into the bar, she couldn't believe what she saw. Cole in the arms of another woman.
