Chapter 01 - Charm-ingly Happy
"How do I look?" Phoebe twirled on the spot for her sisters; her beautiful new black dress fit her figure perfectly. Piper smiled proudly at her sibling, while Paige sulked on the edge of Phoebe's bed.
"You look fantastic honey." Piper's smile widened into a grin. Paige rolled her eyes and crossed her arms grumpily. Piper gave her a stern look which mentally said: 'say something nice to Phoebe!' Paige let out a long sigh.
"You look…erm…nice." She mumbled and Phoebe grinned. Piper rubbed her head and rolled her eyes at Paige's lack of effort.
"Come on Paige, it's time we got ready!" Piper dragged her half sister into her and Leo's room.
"Paige! What is wrong with you!" Piper crossed her arms clearly unimpressed.
"You didn't buy Rosé!" Paige narrowed her eyes at Piper.
"Ohhh! You did not just narrow your eyes at me, Missy!" A tiny smile formed on Paige's face; she pulled an innocent look.
"Of course not! I'd never ever narrow my eyes at my sweet sweet sister Piper!" Paige lightened up, speaking in a baby voice. Piper couldn't help but smile, shaking her finger at Paige.
"Well it's a good job you didn't or I'd have to torture you with a round of non-stop tickling!" Piper started to tickle Paige around her waist making her squeal. She slapped Piper's hands away giggling. Piper laughed too, smiling happily.
"Come on Paige, now you've cheered up we better actually get ready!" She started to change so Paige followed suite.
"Do me up sweetie!" Piper asked merrily. Paige zipped up her older sister's dress and turned round to let Piper zip her up too. The Auburn haired girl turned to face Piper and both sisters' faces went slightly pink.
"You look-" They both started, Piper stopped.
"Go on…" She smiled.
"You look gorgeous!" Paige winked at Piper and it was her turn to giggle.
"You look beautiful…" Piper tilted her head and smiled at Paige who felt her cheeks flush slightly – she thought nothing of it – and presumed it was simply because she wasn't used to such nice comments. The sisters grinned at each other and left the room and into the hall.
"Oh My Gosh! He's here!" Phoebe danced on the spot excitedly and rushed to the door letting in her date. Paige and Piper made eye-contact – Piper's eyebrows were raised and Paige was biting back a laugh. Leo walked up behind the two sisters and grinned at them. Paige smiled up at him.
"Wow Leo, you look great in a suit." Paige grinned and flattened out Leo's tie making him blush happily. Piper pouted at Paige.
"Hmm…not getting any ideas that you married the wrong sister are you honey?" Piper looked at Leo threateningly. He gulped and shook his head. Paige laughed and Piper grinned, Leo did too. All three of them headed for Phoebe and her man, ready to meet him.
"Everyone, this is Matt! Matt, these are my sisters Paige and Piper, and this is Piper's husband Leo!" Phoebe introduced them all. In turn they all greeted Matt and chatted a while.
"Alright everyone I'm going to get the drinks!" Paige clapped her hands in an excited way. Piper rolled her eyes that Paige could be excited over alcohol. Phoebe laughed, Matt and Leo grinned. Paige went into the kitchen, Piper followed.
"Here you go…I went and got you some earlier this morning." Piper was standing by the fridge holding a bottle of rosé in her hand. Paige's face lit up.
"Ohhhhh!! Piper I love you! You are the best!" She cooed yanking the bottle from Piper's hand.
"Yes yes I know now scoot! Scram! I'll do the drinks go go! Get out of my kitchen!" Piper shooed Paige who grinned happily kissing Piper's cheek and passing the bottle back to her before skipping out of the kitchen.
Everyone was seated in the dining room, chatting away happily. Piper hadn't come back with the drinks yet and Phoebe could hear her swearing in the kitchen.
"Come on sis, let's go get Piper!" Phoebe pulled Paige off the table and they both went into the kitchen to help her. She was holding her finger under the tap and mumbling under her breath. Phoebe sighed and took the drinks in. Paige went over to Piper.
"Hmm…you see that's why I always tell you to use an OVEN GLOVE!" Paige joked as Piper splashed water at her. Paige looked shocked as water splashed all over her dress.
"PIPER!" She screeched. Piper laughed and Paige pouted in a pretend annoyed way. She smiled and took the food into the kitchen.
A while later everyone was stuffed.
"Whoa…that food was awesome Mrs H!" Matt murmured sleepily.
"Thank you!" Piper grinned proudly. Phoebe and Matt smiled at each other and Phoebe nodded then said:
"Me and Matt are just gonna go to my room…" Paige almost chocked on her drink from laughing and Piper blushed furiously. Leo's ears went pink and Matt cleared his throat. Phoebe and Paige set off a fit of giggles gaining them both unimpressed looks from their older sister at their immature behaviour.
They left the table together, Phoebe still beaming at Paige and Matt still clearly embarrassed. Paige chuckled to herself and helped Leo clear the table. Piper sighed and helped them clear up too. Paige went into the lounge and relaxed into the comfy couch staring into the crackling fire. Leo said he was heading up for a bath so Piper went into the lounge too. She sat next to Paige on the couch sighing in a relaxed way.
"Did you enjoy dinner?" Piper asked starting a conversation. Paige didn't answer her.
"Paige?" Piper leaned forwards to see Paige's expression. She was sound asleep, leaning on the arm of the couch and breathing softly. Piper found herself smiling at how sweet her little sister looked when she was sleeping. She leaned on Paige's shoulder, brought her feet up onto the couch and she too fell into a deep, warm sleep.
