Chpt. 15

Miami

After Phoebe left, all Cole wanted to do was hold Melody. She was his savior. He watched her talking to the customers. She's so open and honest, he thought to himself.

Kandie was standing behind Cole, as he watched Melody

"You really lover, don't you?" she whispered.

"You know, I always thought I'd spend the rest of my life, with Phoebe, but the minute I looked into Melody's beautiful eyes I felt safe. She makes me feel. I need that."

The next morning

When Melody woke up, she realized she was alone.

"I wonder where Cole is." She said, walking into the kitchen.

Melody made herself coffee and tried to relax. It was very hard with the threat of Phoebe hanging over their heads.

"I better get to work." she said, as quickly looked around the apartment, for Cole.

As she was walking out of the kitchen she noticed an envelope, with her name on it.

"Ms. M. Vega

I request the honor of

your company, tonight.

Mr. C. Turner."

When melody arrived at the Witche's Lair, she grabbed Kandie.

"Look what Cole gave me!" she excitedly exclaimed

"Oh Mel, how exciting! I wish Steve would give me a note like that."

"Can you help me pick out something special, to wear?"

"I have just the dress. Come with me."

"Can I help you sir?" the sales clerk asked Cole.

"I'm looking for something special, for my girlfriend."

"I have just the thing. It came in this morning."

The clerk showed Cole a gold heart shaped pendant.

"I'll take it."

7pm – That night

Melody was so nervous. She felt that tonight was the turning point in their relationship.

All of a sudden she felt two arms slide around her waist.

"You look fantastic." Cole whispered.

"Why thank you Mr. Turner, you look pretty fantastic yourself. New suit?"

"Yeah."

Melody kissed Cole on the nose and smiled.

'What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?"

"I'm happy."

"Wow, this is a beautiful restaurant." Melody said, once they were seated.

"Nothing but the best for you."

Melody placed her hand on Cole's.

"You're going to spoil me."

"You deserve the best." Cole said, placing a box on the table, in front of Melody.

"It's beautiful. I love it."

"It looks beautiful on you." He said, after he fastened it around her neck.

After they ate dinner, Cole walked over to the DJ and requested a song.

"Would you care to dance, Ms. Vega?"

"But there's no music playing." Melody said, as they walked to the center of the dance floor.

Cole gently pulled Melody into his arms and signaled the DJ. All of a sudden "How Do I Live Without You" started.

Melody felt like she was dancing on air. Cole had become an important part of her life in such a short amount of time. She wasn't going to lose him, not even to Phoebe.

"I love you." She whispered in his ear.

Cole gently kissed her lips.

"I can't wait to get you home." He whispered, twirling her around on the dance floor.

"I had a great time. Thank you for a beautiful evening." She said when they arrived home.

"You're very welcome." Cole said, as he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom.

"I feel so selfish. We didn't even talk about Pho…" Melody started to say, till Cole softly kissed her.

"Let's not talk about her. This night is for us and about us."

"Okay." Melody whispered as she started to unbutton Cole's shirt.
