Late that night after she had told Veronica what had happened, Phoebe had retutned to her Suite at the Arms Hotel. She was still reeling over that stunt Crowley had pulled at dinner and she wasn't sure what he was trying to prove. Did he think she wouldn't fulfill her part of the contract and so he was going to pretend to want more than her body and her complete and utter fall?
When she got into her room, she changed into pajamas and then sat in the middle of the bed, thinking.

Steeling himself, he knocked lightly on the adjoining door.
"Phoebe, love? I...I'd like to apologize. Please?"

Date: 2006-02-01 09:34 am (UTC)"My dear, I would sincerely like to apologize...and explain if I may."

Date: 2006-02-01 09:40 am (UTC)"I take it the explanation will contain more than Pet, I'm sorry about the shock, but I couldn't pass up such a marvelous way to screw with Aziraphale's head?" There might be a bit of humour in her voice.
{{*This is of course after her mun picks herself up off of the floor from laughter and squeeing of icon love*}}

It's no secret that the angel and I...we had...and perhaps it stings a little to see him so very happy with 'Jameslove' and yes, I'm petty and jealous and evil. I couldn't resist sharing the truth of the contract. But Phoebe..." he turns to look at her, sadness written on his face, "...I genuinely thought you understood. It was the standard child-bride contract. It's been used countless times throughout my time here. I...after Saturday...after these past nights...I didn't think you'd object, pet. I thought you might be genuinely pleased."

Date: 2006-02-01 09:55 am (UTC)Phoebe just cannot abide seeing him look so sad and miserable. She moves up behind him and lays a chin on his shoulder and sighs softly.
"Crowley, how many contracts with demons do you think I've signed in my life, counting yours? One. Only you. You know that I would do just about anything for you...but are you positive you want me like that? Dearest, you don't even think of me in terms of more than a toy, a pet or a challenge."

Date: 2006-02-01 10:02 am (UTC)He drops down off the bed and turns, on one knee.
"Please be my bride, precious. I'd truly like nothing more."
He holds out his hand, in it an old fashioned silver snuff box with a blue gem on a chain (http://www.laforme.jp/image1188.jpg) inside.

Date: 2006-02-01 10:48 am (UTC)She strokes his cheek and then nods, taking the gem and box from his hand.
"Alright, dearest, I will...on one condition."
[[OOC: I am so snagging that icon.]]

Date: 2006-02-01 10:51 am (UTC)He smiles and might even blush a bit. He has the same smitten expression he wore for the angel...and it seems genuine.
{{ooc: I have the blank if you want to have other text.}}

Date: 2006-02-01 11:31 am (UTC)Phoebe shakes her head. "No, dearest, he hates me...I uhm... yeah. Monday night before you got home...there was a reason I sought refuge in your bed."
no subject
Date: 2006-02-01 11:37 am (UTC)Climbing back onto the bed, he takes her hand. "Hate and love are only a breath apart, my dear. I can't feel love...but hate I understand. Perfect hate is nearly as complete as perfect love, you know."
