Phoebe woke and stretched, she turned over and reached her arm across the bed, empty. Figures. She thought as she saw Cole was gone.

Phoebe threw back the covers and got out of bed, yawing she pulled on her robe and headed for the bedroom door. She shuffled down the hallway and stopped outside Prues room. Phoebe put her head by the door and listened for movement, there was none. She considered going in to check on her sister, but decided against it. Prue hadn't been sleeping very well lately and Phoebe didn't want to wake her.

Phoebe headed down the stairs to the kitchen, fresh coffee hit her nose and she quickened her pace. Coffee, shower and then school. Wow her life was fun.

Piper stood by the counter in her nightwear, she was filling two mugs with coffee and chatting to Leo who was sitting by the table.

'Morning'. Phoebe said as she grabbed a mug.

'Hello sunshine'. Piper beamed at her dishevelled sister.

Phoebe eyes Piper and then Leo, he wore a huge grin on his face.

'You guys had a good night then'? Phoebe said smiling.

'Yes we did no orbing or nothing for the first time in ages'. Piper said rolling her eyes.

'Don't jinx it'. Leo said to her.

'Lucky you two'. Phoebe said a little grumpy.

'What wrong Pheb's'? Piper asked.

'I woke up this morning and Cole was gone...again'.

Piper and Leo exchanged glances.

'Maybe he had to go somewhere'. Leo offered.

Phoebe picked up her coffee and headed for the door. She looked back at her sister.

'The funny thing is, I don't really care anymore. I have to go to school'. Phoebe shrugged as she walked out the door.

Piper looked at Leo.

'Well there's something different'. She said with her hands on her hips.

'Yeah. Maybe their having some trouble'. Leo said as he got up.

'Maybe. Well if she wants to talk she knows where I am. You can't push Phoebe into talking, she just closes up, and she has to come to you'.

'I know'. Leo said smiling at Piper.

Prues room.

Prue opened her eyes and looked at the clock, it said 10.30am. she rubbed her eyes and looked down at the arm draped across her waist. She smiled.

Cole felt movement besides him as Prue turned around to face him.

'Good morning'. He said as she looked at him.

'Hi'. Prue said a little shyly.

'How did you sleep'? Cole asked her.

'Better than I have in ages. It was nice to feel...you know, safe again'.

Cole pulled her close and kissed her head. She leaned into him and he felt her sigh deeply.

'What's going to happen now'? Prue asked sadly.

'I want to be with you Prue; I'm going to tell Phoebe how I feel'.

'Cole we're going to break her heart, I don't think I can do that to her'.

'Prue let me tell you something. Phoebe is having an affair with a student from school. I had suspensions for a while, so I followed her and saw them...you know'.

'What? Where? Are you sure'?

'Yes I'm sure, it was at his place. But the sad thing is when I found out I didn't care. I felt nothing, not sad or angry or anything. That's when I knew that I wasn't in love with her'.

Prue couldn't believe it. Phoebe having an affair. At lest she wont be to upset then if me and Cole decide to get together. Prue thought. She watched him watching her; she felt her face flush as he looked at her.

'Your so stunning Prue'. Cole said smiling at her.

'Even first thing in the morning'? Prue asked him smiling too.

'Any time of day honey'.

'Thank you. It's been a while since anyone said that'.

Cole put his hand on her face, and she closed her eyes at his warm touch. She felt his lips brush hers and a wave of heat ran through her body. She opened her eyes and looked into his. She touched his face and kissed him on the lips. Cole wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. His passion for her burning. She pulled away from the kiss and looked at him, suddenly shy again.

He loved her coyness. Cole knew that there was an animal inside Prue that longed to be realised. He kissed her on the nose and she laughed.

'I'll wait for you, as long as it takes'. Cole said gently.

'Thank you'. Prue said as she snuggled up in his arms.
