Mortality to Magic (The Prequel) Book Two ✔

Chapter 16

A week later.. Cole knocks on the door of the manor.

Prue answers the door frowns. "What do you want?."

He walks in the manor with a bunch of flowers. "I'm here to see Phoebe.. Is she in?."

Prue nodded. "She's still mad at you.. You know."

Cole nodded. "I know.. Why do you think I'm here?."

Prue turns around and yells. "Phoebe!.. Cole is here!."

Phoebe comes running to the door from the kitchen. "Hey.."

Cole smiles. "Hey.. These are for you.."

Phoebe smiles. "Flowers.. You shouldn't have."

Prue rolls her eyes. Clearly this would work with her. "I'll leave you guys to it.."

Phoebe nodded and watched her leave. When they were finally alone.. Phoebe took the opportunity to ask him why he was really here. "So why are you here?."

Cole sighs. "Phoebe.. I love you.. I was wrong and I've apologised to Colette.. It takes a lot for a man to admit when they've got things wrong."

Phoebe shrugged. "Unless they are a coward I guess.."

Cole groans. "Oh come on Phoebe.. Less of the sarcasm please?.. I'm trying to make things right here."

Phoebe bites her lip. "You know it's gonna take more than a pathetic apology don't you?."

Cole grins. "Making me Work for it are you?."

Phoebe smirks. "Something like that.."

Cole winks. "In that case how about dinner?."

Phoebe nodded. "That's a start.. I guess."

Cole's face lights up happily. "Fine.. I'll pick you up at 7.30 then.."

Phoebe walks towards him sorting out his tie for him. "Don't be late.."

He smirks back at her.. "I wouldn't dream of it."

Cole waves goodbye and leaves the manor.

Phoebe shuts the door and walks towards the kitchen but she decided to just sit on the stairs for a moment.

Colette walks down the stairs heading for the kitchen when she saw Phoebe sitting alone on the bottom stair.

She sits next to Phoebe. "Phoebe are you okay?."

Phoebe shakes her head. "Not really?".

Colette groans. "It's to do with me and Cole isn't it?."

Phoebe sighs. "Yes and no.. That's part of it I guess.."

Colette frowns. "And the other part?."

Phoebe looks at her with seriousness. "I'm having doubts about whether I should marry Cole."

Colette put out her hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "You should just do what is right for you.. Whatever happens I'll be there for you and so will your sisters."

Phoebe smiles. "Thanks Colette.. That means a lot.. Come on let's go and get some dinner."

Colette's face lights up. "Hell yes." She looks down at her stomach feeling it rumble. "Last one to the kitchen is a headless chicken."

Phoebe smiles and shakes her head as she watches Colette get a head start before her and walks slowly towards the kitchen rather than running.
