Chapter 10 – The Proof of Love
Phoebe sat at the table in the dining room of the big house in San Esteban. Her head was buried in her hands. "You need to forget him!" she ordered herself and tried to focus on the smell that was coming from the kitchen and tried to guess what's her Nanny preparing her for lunch to get her mind off of Cole. "Maybe it's spaghetti. Or maybe mash potatoes. Or maybe... COLE! Damnit!". Now she was getting really furious at herself. She couldn't sleep at nights, she couldn't eat anything and was afraid Cole was becoming her addiction. She couldn't live without him and this was the fifth day since she came. When she tried not to think about him, he would always eventually pop up in her mind all of sudden. "What's wrong with me? Am I obsessed with him?" she thought, and was interrupted when her Nanny Rebecca walked into the room.
"Honey, I prepared the most delicious spaghetti in the world and this time you're not saying no to me!" she said.
"Sorry, Nanny, but I'm really not hungry." she said without taking her head out of her hands.
"Phoebe, sweetie, what's going on?" Nanny asked.
"Nothing, I'm just not hungry. Really." Phoebe said as she took her head out of her hands and looked at her Nanny pleadingly.
"I know you since you were born, Phoebe. You and your sisters. I've spent more than twenty years of my life watching over you when you came to San Esteban and believe that I can tell when something's wrong." Nanny said and sat on the chair next to Phoebe's. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think I'm spoiled and capricious?" Phoebe asked honestly. "But tell me the truth."
"Who told you that, honey?" Nanny asked. "It must've been Prue. But don't worry. People don't always say what they think when they fight, especially Prue. You know her temper..."
"No, it was... Cole." Phoebe said slowly.
"Who is Cole, sweetie?"
"He's a... He's... God, I don't even know what he is to me!" Phoebe said desperately.
"A boy?" Nanny asked in disbelief. "Phoebe, you are desperate about the boy? You of all the people?"
Phoebe nodded. "He is amazing, Nanny. There's something about him that isn't letting me forget him. I feel like running back to San Francisco, but I mustn't. I can't do that to myself."
"Does he love you?" Nanny asked suspiciously.
"Of course he does." Phoebe said and than suddenly her eyes widened. "Oh, my God, did you hear what I just said? I really am spoiled and capricious!"
"No, you're not any of those things, sweetie." Nanny assured her. "You're just used to everyone loving you because of your beauty. But that doesn't make you capricious."
"Cole thinks I am." Phoebe said. "And he didn't say it in the heat of the moment, he really meant it. I could see it in his eyes. He told me that someone had to tell me that."
"Are you sure he loves you?" Nanny asked slowly.
"Yes, I am. He proved me that way more than once. But now I'm afraid I don't love him."
"You don't?"
"I'm afraid this love is turning into as obsession, addiction or something like that." Phoebe said. I can't eat and I can't sleep when I know I won't see him next day."
"Well, my dear, that is not an addiction. That is called love. Pure love. People always feel like that when their love is young and strong." Nanny said.
"I need to see him, Nanny! I'll die here!" Phoebe said as she grabbed her hand.
"Well, honey, you'll just have to wait." Nanny said. "You're more than three hundred kilometers away from home and we don't exactly have a car here and even if we had, you don't know how to drive." she said and Phoebe sighed heavily. "Don't worry, this is good for you. It's helping you realize how you really feel. And don't worry; I assure you that you won't die."
"I need to see him!" Phoebe repeated pleadingly.
"There's nothing I can do. Look, just go upstairs and try to read a book or watch the television."
"I tried, it's not working." Phoebe said.
"You can call him." Nanny suggested and Phoebe jumped to her feet.
"Of course, how didn't I think of that before?" Phoebe smiled and kissed her Nanny. She ran to the old-fashioned house phone and dialed Cole's number (which she, of course knew). The phone rang and no one answered. It kept on ringing. Still no answer. Now Phoebe was really loosing hope. "Please, answer. Please answer..." she whispered, but no answer. She hung up. "Great" she murmured to herself. "Where in the world is he?"
Defeated, she headed upstairs and grabbed the remote...
-------
The night fell and Phoebe tried to reach Cole every ten minutes, but there was no answer all day. She tried to focus on Sherlock Holmes she was watching, but she simply couldn't. Now she didn't care at all he slept with Kimberly, if she could meet him, she would kiss him like nobody has kissed him before. All she wanted was to see him, or at least hear him. Just one little word...
"Phoebe, honey..." Nanny said as she entered the room "I think this is your lucky day."
"I strongly disagree." Phoebe replied.
"Come here..." Nanny took her hand and led her downstairs, out of the front door and into the yard. Phoebe could see a small, private plane landing in their yard.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Phoebe yelled happily. "You rented out a plane to take me to San Francisco?"
"No, I didn't do a thing." Nanny said. "I don't know if my doubts are true, but I think I have a pretty good idea where that plane came from."
"What do you mean!" Phoebe yelled over the loud noise the plane was making.
"I mean I'm going to sleep over at my friend's. Have fun!" she smiled happily and went out the yard and walked out of Phoebe's view, leaving her dumbfounded.
The plane finally landed and stopped making such noise. Phoebe walked up to it totally shocked and confused. A plane in the middle of the village San Esteban and in her own yard? She pinched herself, but didn't wake up. Suddenly, the door of the plane opened and the small stairs formed. Phoebe's eyes widened with shock as Cole walked out of the plane.
"You know, you're kinda hard to track sometimes." he said casually as he walked up to her.
Phoebe tried to hide her shock by staring at the plane. It was of those business types, for not more that ten people.
"Nice plain. Where'd you get it?" She asked.
"I bought it today." Cole said.
Phoebe spun around to him. He couldn't stop shocking her. "You bought a plane?" she asked.
"Well, it's much faster than the car and plus you get the Champaign." Cole joked. But from the inside, he felt like he would die if he spent another night without her by his side and was so relieved he managed to find her.
"Cole, you bought a plane to find me?" Phoebe asked, still in shock.
"Yeah." Cole replied shortly, not daring to touch her. He wanted her to be the one throwing herself in his arms and deep inside he knew she was dying without him as well.
"And how'd you find me?" Phoebe asked.
"Now that's the question. I spent five days begging your sisters to tell me where you are. But I guess that stubbornness is a family trait (A/N: Cole said the similar sentence in Seven Year Witch!)."
Phoebe slowly turned towards him. This situation was really awkward. "Uh, would you like a cup of coffee of something?"
"No, give me something cold." Cole insisted.
"An ice coffee?" Phoebe suggested.
Cole laughed. "Why such enthusiasm for coffee?" he asked.
"I'm kinda sleepy." Phoebe said. "After four sleepless nights, how wouldn't I be?" she thought.
"Okay than. Coffee it is." he said and they walked inside of the house.
Phoebe served an ice coffee quickly and they sat at the table. "So, how did you find me?" she asked and Cole smiled. He almost forgot how he loved that curiosity of hers.
"It's a secret." he said as he leaned towards her. "If I told you, I'm gonna have to kill you."
Phoebe smiled as she noted he looked like he hadn't slept much either. He had a dark circles around his almost red eyes.
"Cole, do you wanna sleep? We have as much free rooms as you like. You look really tired." she said honestly.
"So do you." he said as he removed her hair from her eyes that looked really tired.
"I haven't slept much." Phoebe said. Than they shared a long moment of silence, just staring at each other. The silence was very uncomfortable. "Okay, I'll just make you a bed in one of the rooms." she tried to walk away, but Cole grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
"I didn't come all the way over here to sleep without you again." Cole whispered and Phoebe couldn't take it anymore. She spun around.
"Cole, I missed you so much..." she said desperately.
"I know, I can see that." Cole said. "I missed you too. I missed you so much that I bought a plane and came here because if I spent another minute without you, I'd go crazy."
Phoebe gently began kissing his lips and he responded to that kiss. It was one of the sweetest kisses they ever shared. He loved the way she kissed and he loved the taste of her lips. He loved everything about her. He pulled her in his arms and deepened the kiss. Phoebe seamed to be more than grateful for that. He wrapped his arms around her waist like he always did and pleaded for her not to pull away, since he knew how confused she was. Phoebe slowly broke the kiss and Cole looked at her disappointedly.
"Don't give me that look." Phoebe whispered with a slow smile lingering on her lips.
She took his arm and led him two floors up into one of the rooms. "This is my room, do you like it?" she asked him.
Cole knew she was playing some game with him, but he couldn't figure her out. Why did she bring him here to ask him if he liked the room? "Yeah, I like it. Why?" he asked.
"Because this is where you're gonna sleep tonight." Phoebe whispered with a double meaning in her voice and Cole took the hint. He slowly pressed her against the wall and kissed her again, only this kiss was way more passionate than the kisses the two of them shared downstairs. He began unbuttoning her shirt and Phoebe grabbed him arms.
"Not so fast." she whispered with a smile and Cole knew she wasn't the kind of girl who just jumped into the bed with guys. He loved her for it.
He reached out and crushed his lips on hers, kissing her passionately. He could feel one of her hands on the back of his neck and another one on his shoulder, drawing him closer to her, begging him to keep kissing her and he did so. He kissed her until both of them remained completely breathless. When they broke the kiss, they were panting heavily and their hearts were racing. He laid her on the bed and his lips slowly traced down her neck. He could hear her moan now and could feel her desire for him in every inch of her body he kissed. He unbuttoned her shirt and threw it aside to reveal her gorgeous body. Phoebe than sat in his lap and took off his shirt with trembling hands. Then she felt him kiss her lips once again and she ran her nails down his back. She helped him unbutton her highly complicated skirt and than kissed his neck, feeling his pulse beat rapidly. She loved him and he was her man. Now she just wanted to feel that as well, doing her best to forget about her endless fear of losing her virginity. "I love you." she whispered on his lips.
"I love you too." Cole whispered back as he laid her on the bed and stripped off the rest of her clothes. "I love you more than anything in this world..."
-------
There you go again
When you rub up against my skin
I have to catch my breathe
I began to sweat
Oh

Lips
Tracing down my neck
And its scaring me to death
How you learned to draw me to the cliff
Just to push me off
Just to push me off the edge
-
Damn
I hate the way you know me
And damn
You kill when you hold me
Like I'm your world
Like this wont hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin' every nerve
Damn
I'm fighting and I'm losing it
Damn you
Your pulling and a pushing
I'm wrestling with
I toss and twist
'Till finally I give in
Damn
-
I hate being addicted
Only you would have predicted
That I'd be torn
And worn, so thin
You can see right through
You can see right through my soul
-
Damn
I hate the way you know me
And damn
You kill when you hold me
Like I'm your world
Like this wont hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin' every nerve
Damn
I'm fighting and I'm losing it
Damn you
Your pulling and a pushing
I'm wrestling with
I toss and twist
'Till finally I give in
-
I get reckless, scared, confused
I feel desperate soul for you
And you know it
You know it
You know it, yes you do
-
Damn
I hate the way you know me
And damn
You kill when you hold me
Like I'm your world
Like this wont hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin' every nerve
Damn
I'm fighting and I'm losing it
Damn you
Your pulling and a pushing
I'm wrestling with
I toss and twist
Baby I give in
Damn
