2: A kiss to remember.
''Paige, we're off to bed.'' Piper told her baby-sister as she took Leo's hand within hers, flashin him a sexy smile. ''Okay guys, sleep well.'' Paige replied, barely even looking up. She pretended to find The Osbournes interesting, although she had already seen this episode about a gazillion times.
Piper glanced at Paige for one last time and then followed Leo's lead upstairs, trying to suppress her soft giggling.
Paige smiled slightly to herself, she was glad that Piper and Leo were so close again, they had been fighting about Piper's pregnancy, - or maybe they had just been argueing, Fighting is a bit of an exaggaration. Paige thought to herself. Paige waited until she heard the bedroom door close. Finally. She thought as she switched the TV off. It had taken them long enough to finally get up and go upstairs.
She pushed herself up from the couch and orbed herself into the attic.
Phoebe was out, Piper and Leo were in the middle of their own..things, now she could finally start to work on trying to summon Cole. So that she could tell him what she truly felt for him. Paige tucked her red hair, the result of a potion she had blown up, behind her ear and walked over to the table that was standing in the middle of the attic.
She opened the Book of Shadows that was already lying there and searched for the summoning spell.
Found it. She thought as the flipped the page and saw the nicely decorated letters that said, 'Summoning Spell'. She stared down at the letters on the page and took a deep breath. Was she sure this was the right thing to do? It was not very likely that he'd admit that he had feelings for her too. And what if he did? He'd still be a ghost, so they wouldn't be able to get together. Paige shook her head and picked the small box with lucifers up. She lit the five purple candles on the floor and walked back to the Book. She glanced at the candles and started chanting,
''Hear these words, hear my cries. Spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee. Cross now the great divide.''
The flames of the candles flickered weakly, but nothing happened. ''Hey. What happened?'' Paige mumbled to herself. Or actually, what didn't happen? She corrected herself in her thoughts. It was the right spell, right? She checked the spell again. Yes, the page really did say 'Summoning Spell.' so it had to be right. Paige shook her head and repeated the spell, but still nothing happened.
She pulled a confused face and tilted her head back, glancing up at the ceiling, ''Grams? A little help?'' she asked.
Just like she had expected the pages from the Book started to turn on top-speed and finally settled on a page with a potion that Paige hadn't seen in the Book before. ''To find what you want most.'' She read out loud. Well at the moment she wanted to summon Cole most, so it did come in handy. ''Thanks Grams.'' She murmered as she let her eyes scan the list with needed ingredients. Luckily they had them all in the attic, because it wasn't very likely that there would be any shops open at this hour.
Paige smiled slightly and started to work on the potion.
About an hour later she re-checked if she had added all of the ingredients in the right order and she stirred in the pot with a long spoon. I wonder why I'm good at making potions, but not at cooking. She thought to herself as she picked up the last ingredient, eye of newt.
''Okay, the last ingredient now.'' She mumbled quietly to herself and she glanced at the Book. She had to add it and then say out loud what she wanted most. Paige took a deep breath and dropped the eye of newt into the pot, ''I want to see Cole.'' She spoke loud and clear. When the last ingredient was added, a big explosion caused Paige to get knocked off her feet.
She sat up and shook her hair back. Why do potions always go along with explosions? She wondered as she rubbed her painful hip. She peered through the thick white smoke if the potion had worked. Paige heard someone cough slightly and when the smoke finally disappeared she gasped, ''Cole.''
Cole was standing in the attic, but he wasn't see-through at all. He was there, literally, in the flesh.
Cole looked around the attic, confused. But the look on his face changed when he saw Paige. ''What do you want.'' He spat. Paige got up, ''I..- Cole are you alive?" she stuttered, walking towards him carefully.
''Obviously, you brought me back.'' He replied. ''Why Paige? So you can vanquish me again?''
Paige looked at him, he seemed pissed off, because she had thwarted his plan again last time. When he had created his own reality so that he would be with Phoebe again. Cole walked closer to her, ''Why did you bring me back, Paige? Don't you think I've suffered enough already?'' he asked in a threatening voice. ''No – I..'' Paige was cut off by a pair of feet running up the attic stairs. ''Paige? Are you okay?'' Piper's voice called.
''Quick. She'll kill me if she sees you.''
Paige pushed Cole behind the attic door quickly, just as it swung open. ''Paige..- Oh. What happened?'' Piper stood in the doorway, wearing her blue bathrobe, the rope of it was loosely tied around her waist. Paige grabbed the door just in time, so that it wouldn't swing into Cole's face, and she casually leaned against it. ''I am just fine. I got distracted while making a potion and you know, then it exploded.'' She told her older sister, waving her hand into the pot's direction for emphasis.
Piper glanced at the table, ''Why were you making a potion at this hour?'' Piper asked her baby-sister a bit suspicious. There was something different about Paige. ''Well.. I couldn't sleep you see and I wanted to finish this potion anyway.''
Cole watched Paige lying so smoothly to her oldest sister.
He had always thought Paige was like Leo, a bit of a goody-two-shoes. Now he could see how wrong he had been about that, she was good at lying and he actually kind of liked this side from Paige. ''Okay. Sorry sleep well Piper.'' Paige closed the door after she had finally blown her sister off.
''Phew.'' She sighed out loud. ''Why isn't she allowed to see me?'' Cole asked, stepping away from the door. Paige turned back to him, now he was actually standing here in front of her, it was suddenly a lot harder to tell him the truth. ''Erm. Well umm, originally I wasn't supposed to resurrect you. I wanted to summon you so I could talk to you.'' She turned away from him and walked towards the window.
Cole cocked an eyebrow and followed her slowly, putting his hands in his pockets.
''Talk to me about what?'' he asked curiously. Why would Paige want to talk to him? She despised him. ''I'm not sure how to put this.''
Paige turned around and looked at Cole, she saw his hard look soften a bit.
''I love you.'' She said.
Cole paused and literally felt his jaw drop. He quickly closed it when he realised it would look stupid and for the first time in his life, Cole was actually speechless. This, he had definitely not expected. ''I- Umm.'' He said. Paige looked at him.
The look on his face was serious, but confused. She smiled slightly to herself. Cole Turner speechless. That could've been front page news. She thought to herself. ''Why?'' Cole finally managed to get out. Paige looked into his eyes, ''I don't know.'' She replied quietly. Cole looked back at her and then started laughing. ''Oh. I get it, this is another one of your tricks isn't it? I'm not falling for it this time, Paige. I know you too well.'' He said, stepping closer to her.
''No Cole. Clearly you don't know me at all.'' She replied, starting to get angry because Cole seemed to be making fun of her.
Cole pinned Paige up to the wall, ''Look. I don't know what you're planning Paige, but I want you to stay away from me.'' He told her. Paige looked at him, both of their chests rising and falling in unision. ''Damn it Cole, you're not listening.'' ''Oh yes I am Paige. Whatever your plan is, it's not going to work out.'' He told her, his face now close to hers. Paige stared into his blue eyes, he seemed angry and didn't want to believe her.
She moved her hand to the back of his neck and pressed her lips on his softly.
Cole, caught by surprise, allowed her to kiss him and he even kissed back for a moment, but then pulled away from her. ''Paige..'' Paige bit her lower lip and looked at the floor. Cole took a few steps back and then shimmered out, stunned and finally believing her.
Cole was sitting on his luxerious four poster bed in his hotelroom. His tie was loosely hanging around his neck and the sleeves of his dark shirt were rolled up.
Cole stared down at his shiny black shoes, still confused about what had happened a few hours earlier. He could still feel Paige's soft lips on his, the warmth of her breath in his face, but he wasn't supposed to feel this.
He hated Paige.
Maybe he was feeling this because he hadn't been kissed like that since a long time. Cole didn't want to admit it, but Paige was an amazing kisser and thinking of the kiss made his whole body tingle. He put his head in his hands and sighed heavily. Now he was back he hoped that Paige wasn't going to vanquish him again, though that wasn't very likely if she was in love with him. She's done it before though. He thought to himself.
Cole closed his eyes, he needed sleep. He was just too tired to worry about this all at the moment. He got up and got undressed 'til his boxers and placed his clothes on a chair and then noticed the weddingband that was still on his finger. He actually wore it now because he was used to it, but Phoebe had moved on, so it was time to take it off.
Cole took a deep breath and took the ring off his finger, he put it in the pocket of his trousers carefully and walked back to the bed to get a good night, or what was left of it, of sleep.
