Chapter 3
"Of course she still loves you" Piper said as her and Les were talking in kitchen about Phoebe and Cole.
"Well she seemed pretty close with the 'Cole' guy" Les protested
"They were married, he was Phoebe's first true love, of course their close. But she loves you, not him"
"Are you sure?"
"Leslie St.Claire!"
"Ok" Les blushed and finished his coffee "Will you tell Phoebe I've had to get to work?"
"Sure when she gets up"
"IF she gets up" Les and Piper giggled then he left. Piper turned to Molly.
"Right missy, seen as your up you can help me"
"To do what mommy?" Molly said looking up from her breakfast
"To wake your Aunty Phoebe up"
"Otay" Molly jumped off of her chair and followed Piper upstairs to Phoebe's room. Molly jumped on Phoebe's bed, Phoebe rolled over and groaned. "Aunty Phoebe, yous gots to get up" Molly said
Phoebe groaned again. Molly turned around to face Piper again, Phoebe grabbed Molly and pulled her under her covers and tickled her. Molly screamed and giggled.
"Gotta get up have I?" Phoebe said tickling the screaming Molly.
"Yeeeees" Molly giggled. Phoebe sat up in bed.
"Les has gone to work" Piper said to Phoebe seeing her face emerge from the covers.
"I know, I heard you two talking down there"
"Oh…so you heard…?"
"Yeh I heard everything" Phoebe said knowing what Piper was talking about.
"Oh" Piper said
"Yeh, oh…Anyway I'm going to get up now" Phoebe said looking at the panting Molly at the end of her bed.
"Mommy said to come and wake you up" Molly said smiling
"Oh did she now…" Phoebe said as Piper walked out the room "I'll get her later" Molly laughed.
Phoebe walked Molly to her bedroom door, "Okay then I'll see you later" Phoebe said
"Otay, love you Aunty Phoebe" Molly walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Phoebe walked downstairs fully dressed. She was wearing a long skirt that flowed down her slim legs and a white top which came just about her belly button to show off her butterfly piercing. Piper looked at her as she came downstairs.
"You look nice" Piper said
"Thanks" Phoebe stopped and whispered to Piper: "I'm going to see Cole, but please don't get the wrong idea or tell Les"
"Phoebe!"
"What, I need to see him…You even said the other day that you would understand if I still loved him, but I don't I just want to see him"
"Okay well I'll look after Georgie for you"
"Thanks" Phoebe kissed Piper on the cheek and grabbed her bag and ran to her car.
Phoebe got out of her car and walked up to Cole's front door. She tapped it lightly. Cole came to the door in a white vest and black trousers. "Phoebe!" His face lit up
"Hi Cole" She smiled.
"C…come in" He was in shock to see her there; she was the last person he expected to see.
"Thanks" Phoebe walked in. She sat down on Cole's sofa and looked around, his house was really nice, everything was white even his Tele, which was plasma. Cole walked in with two glasses of water.
"Why are you here? Not that I'm not glad to see you" Cole smiled and sat in an armchair.
"Umm, I came here to talk"
"About what?"
"Us"
"Oh I didn't think there was an 'US' anymore" Cole said.
"There isn't which is why I came here to talk. Look Cole I want to be friends with you but I cant all the time you love me, I mean I loved you so much and you broke my heart more than once and being friends wouldn't be any different. I really want to make a go of our friendship but you have to promise me you won't try anything"
"Woh, well that's a lot to take in." Cole sat still for a second while Phoebe drank her water. "In that case I'm sorry."
"Why?" Phoebe asked slightly smiling
"Because I will love you forever, I've never stopped and I never will. So I guess we can't be friends either"
"But Cole…"
"No, you said…"
"I know what I said" Phoebe's eyes filled up with water. She sat still and tried not to blink; knowing that if she did her tears would flow down her cheek and probably cause a puddle on Cole's carpet.
"I'm sorry Pheebs" Cole said looking at her face
"It's ok, honest" She said shaking her head dismissively.
"No it's not, I've upset you already and it's only…" he looked at his wrist "10.03 in the morning"
"Cole it's not your fault" Phoebe blinked and tears came shooting down her cheeks
"Phoebe!" Cole sat next to her and handed her a tissue. "Ok if we give it a try as being friends and I try to hide my feelings for you, will that be ok"
"Yeh" Phoebe smiled feeling slightly stupid for crying. "I'm sorry for crying"
"It's ok"
"Anyway, I'd better get going"
"Yeh I guess you had. I'll see you…?"
"Tomorrow, come over" Phoebe said answering Cole's subtle yet obvious question.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow"
