Chapter Seven: Which One?

Phoebe and Cole were strolling down the beach, their shoes in their hands. They had just gone out to lunch together, where they had spent two hours talking about everything. Now, walking down the beach, they still hadn't run out of things to say.

Cole wanted desperately to tell Phoebe how he felt, but he couldn't. Not yet. He had no idea what she would say to him.

Suddenly the conversation changed to past boyfriends and girlfriends. "So," Cole asked, "how are things with you and Jason?"

"Pretty good. Obviously we both had fun last night on the date. It was a pretty normal night though, talked a lot, he drove me home, he kissed me good night. That was about it."

"You planning on going out again then?"

"Maybe."

Cole nodded. Okay, good, so she didn't seem that excited. Maybe he still had a chance.

Suddenly Phoebe stopped walking. "Did you see that?"

"See what?"

"A dolphin. It just jumped out of the water."

Cole paused and looked where she had pointed. A few seconds later it jumped again.

"There it is!"

"Yeah, I saw it this time."

Phoebe and Cole turned to look at each other. Cole stared into Phoebe's eyes. This was his chance.

Phoebe stared into Cole's eyes. He had beautiful eyes. Phoebe remembered that it had been Cole that she liked, at first, not Jason. Now she was confused. Who did she want?

Suddenly Cole leaned in and kissed her. Phoebe was surprised, but quickly began to kiss him back. They deepened the kiss and Phoebe wrapped her arms around his neck. Cole's hands were planted firmly on her waist.

After a couple of minutes Cole reached down and picked Phoebe up, releasing the kiss.

Phoebe squealed. "What are you doing?"

"Going for a swim."

Cole ran into the waves, holding Phoebe tightly and let her go once they were in the cold water. Phoebe laughed.

"You're crazy, you know that?" she asked.

Cole laughed too. "Not really. I just know how to have fun."

Phoebe pushed her completely soaked hair out of her face and kissed Cole again.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

"Thanks so much. I had a great time," Phoebe said when they pulled up at the manor.

"No problem," Cole replied, hurrying to open the door for her. He walked her up to the door and gave her another quick kiss. "I'll call you later or I'll see you in school tomorrow, okay?"

Phoebe nodded and walked into her house. As soon and she walked inside Prue came bounding down the stairs. "So, did you have fun? Whoa, why are you all wet?"

"We went to the beach and we were in the water."

"Um…ok."

Phoebe laughed. "I had a great time. I don't think Jason and I are going to be going out anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Give me 15 minutes to shower and put on some dry clothes and then I'll tell you everything."

OOO

Cole smiled to himself and he drove home. Now that was definitely better than just a normal date. He had had a great time and he knew Phoebe did too.

Jason was hopefully no longer going out with Phoebe. Cole did feel kind of guilty that he had stepped in on a friend's date, but he had met Phoebe first.

Afraid of what his friends would think, Cole decided not to call them. When he got home he would just jump in the shower and think about his luck with Phoebe. He was excited about where this relationship would go.

OOO

"Okay, now tell me everything," Prue said.

Phoebe grinned. "Well, we went out to lunch and we talked about everything. He is so much fun to talk to. Then we decided we wanted to take a walk, so Cole drove to the beach. When we got there we just took our shoes off and walked barefoot, and we spent so much time talking. Then Cole started asking me about Jason and stuff like that, and after a while he just kissed me and then I was kissing him back. After a while he grabbed me and picked me up and we ran into the water. Then he drove me home and gave me another kiss before her left."

"Wow. That sounds like a lot of fun. And Cole seems like a great guy."

"He is. And this date was so much more fun than my date with Jason. Cole was just so much more fun."

"Phoebe, phone for you!" Grams called up the stairs.

"Thanks Grams," Phoebe called back, running to pick up the cordless. Hopefully it was one of her friends to whom she could ramble on about Cole or maybe it was Cole himself.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Phoebe?"

"Yeah, who is this?"

"Jason. I was wondering if you wanted to go out again sometime. We only have this week left of school, and then we're out, so I was hoping you might want to go out on Friday or something."

Phoebe sighed. "Look, Jason, I'm really sorry, but I'm dating another guy."

"Oh. Well then, I guess I'll see you around."

"Yeah, see you."

Jason hung up the phone, confused. They had gone out on a date yesterday and she was already with another guy?

OOO

"Hello?" Prue asked, picking up ringing phone that Phoebe had just dropped next to her.

"Prue?"

"Piper! Hi, how's school?"

"It's great, almost over. Last week was my two month anniversary with Leo."

"Leo?"

"Yeah, my boyfriend."

"Oh, congratulations."

Piper laughed. "Thanks. So why are you at home?"

"Summer break. I came to hang out with Phoebs and wait for you to come home. Oh, cool. So I guess I'll see you in about two weeks."

"Great."

The sisters talked for a long time, Phoebe coming in to talk to Piper as well.

A/N: I've already written the next chapter and it should be up later today. Go me! Two chapters in one day!
