Cole tried desperately not to flinch as he put the bug down the back of Phoebe's shirt.
*I've got to do it now* he thought *I'm becoming attached to her*. That one bit of information disgusted and shamed him... His judgement on that whole trial thing was screwed around with anyway, she had him caught up with what, exactly they were doing on New Years eve. And there they were doing exactly what they had planned except for the fact that Leo wasn't there. *Nasty whitelighters are disgustingly messy* he despised that the sister of the one he loved- *OH NO!!!* He thought *I said it, I LOVE HER!!! Now, it's gotta be right now* He forced a laugh at some idiotic joke that Prue had told to keep them all from going at eachother's throats. Piper was looking at Cole wondering *I guess I can see why Phoebe likes him, I mean he is kinda nice even if Prue says he's a potential demon suspect.
... Phh, that's a laugh, the day I see Cole's a demon is the day I'll say Prue is diplomatic* She laughed inside at her own little joke in spite of the mean aspect of it.
"OW!!! Something bit my ass!!!" exclaimed Phoebe.
"It wasn't me!" said Cole quickly removing his hand from around Phoebe's back and rising from his chair in a similar manner to Phoebe and Prue's.
" Well, yeah, I mean, I think we would have seen it if you had bitten Phoebe's ass, Cole..." said Prue. He hoped no one would notice his ridiculous little outburst, but didn't realize that everyone was too caught up in their own or Phoebe's business to even care.
"Whew, is everyone ready to go?!?!" said an exasperated Prue with a sigh.
"YES!" was the reply that came from all five of them, including Jaron (Prue's boyfriend), Cole, Phoebe, Prue, and Piper. They all drove home in the same car; the sisters' Pontiac Aztec, and when they arrived, Prue and Piper insisted that they all let Phoebe and Cole have some alone time because they hadn't seen each other in a whole month.
"Well, this is nice... house all to ourselves... no one here but us... beds free... Oh so many beds free..." said Phoebe trying, but NOT trying to be inconspicuous.
"Do ya wanna go upstairs?" said Cole catching the 'oh so many' hints.
"Ooh yay!" stated Phoebe excitedly.
