CH4. (The eyes have it)

You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you.

Paige sighed heavily as she flopped onto the couch in the manor's livingroom. Her bag slipped of her shoulder and fell into the cushions without a noise. She leant her head back and closed her eyes. It had been such a long and tiring day in which she'd learnt countless new things about the gypsies. Luckily, she had tomorrow off which meant sleeping in. If her sisters didn't wake her that was. The large grandfather's clock sounded eleven times indicating that it was nearly midnight and Paige opened her eyes. She was surprised that the house was so empty and quiet but then remembered that her sisters were at P3. Piper's manager had called in sick and so Phoebe was helping out tonight.

A tiny shiver passed throughout her body and she got to her feet quickly. She didn't like being alone in a house late at night. In bed she'd be fine, but downstairs she always felt slightly paranoid, especially since she was a charmed-one and really didn't want to run into any demons on her own. Paige made her way to the stairs, turning off the lights downstairs as she did so, and climbed upstairs quickly. The steps squeeked under her feet and she tried to ignore the unnerving sound as much as she could.

You're 25, Paige. Come on don't be paranoid.

She pushed open the door of her bedroom and her hand found the lightswitch on the wall, flicking it on. A soft light spread across the room and she sighed quietly with relief, tossing her bag onto the bed. Just then the door clicked shut behind her and Paige let out an involuntary yelp, spinning around to face the door. In front of it stood Cole, wearing a pair of sweatpants that hung low on his waist and a tight T-shirt black that fit around his upper body perfectly. Paige could feel her heart beating firmly against her chest and she sighed, bringing her hand to her chest.

''Damn it, Cole. Don't scare me like that.'' He flashed her a small guilty grin and walked towards her.

''Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to ask if you'd want to watch a dvd.'' He said casually and shoved his hands in his pockets, looking at her. Paige raised an eyebrow.

''Couldn't you have phoned me or something? In stead of giving me a near heartattack.''

''I did. Three times, plus I texted you. You didn't answer and I wanted to make sure that you were okay, which you obviously are.'' He let his gaze wander over her body and gave a small appreciative nod. He didn't mean for her to notice, but she did and she blushed.

''Check your phone if you don't believe me.'' He told her quietly and watched as she sat down on her bed, pulling her bag close and rummaging through it for her cellphone. Cole licked his lips and smiled slightly as she found the small device and looked at the display. She had 3 missed calls, just like Cole had predicted.

''You called me three times just to ask if I wanted to watch a dvd?'' Paige looked at him, amused. He shrugged in response.

''I was bored. I'm still bored. Got sick of working out.'' She smiled faintly at the pleading look in his eyes, begging her to keep him company. To keep him from being bored and she felt flattered that she was the person who was able to do just that.

''Fine. There's some dvds in the top drawer. Pick one.'' She gestured towards her wardrobe and Cole grinned, making his way over to it. He pulled open the drawer and looked through the dvd cases, frowning.

''Is this all you have?'' He picked up a dvd and looked at the title.

''Fourty days and fourty nights?''

Paige unfastened the straps of her shoes and took them off.

''That's a good film.''

''It's a romantic one.'' Cole pulled a face and Paige shook her head. She got to her feet and took the dvd out of his hand.

''You'll like it. Go sit down.'' She walked over to her small TV and put the disc in the dvd player.

''I'll get something to drink.''

About an hour later Paige was leaning against her headboard, her head on Cole's shoulder and his arm wrapped protectively around her shoulders. She was looking at the TV screen and absent-mindedly lowered her hand into the bowl of popcorn that was sitting between her legs. Cole watched her hand and smiled slightly as he noticed that the bowl was empty. He knew he'd eaten most of it.

''It's empty.'' She stated quietly and let out a tired yawn.

''Hmm. I should try that thing with the flower. Would be good for my ego if that really worked.'' His fingers massaged her shoulder gently and Paige smiled.

''Your ego is big enough Cole. If it gets any bigger your head will burst.'' A contented sigh escaped her lips and she placed the bowl on top of her bedside cabinet before tucking her feet underneath herself and getting more comfortable. Another yawn escaped her mouth and Cole looked at her.

''I should go.'' He removed his arm carefully and sat up properly, causing Paige to pout.

''I was comfortable. Don't go yet.''

''Paige, you look tired. And I'm tired too.'' He swung his legs over the side of the bed and moved to put his shoes back on, but Paige's small hand tugging on his arm prevented him from doing just that. He sighed slightly and moved, looking at her. Her eyes were on him and she was searching him, making it harder for him to argue. He was under her spell and he knew it. He wasn't sure why though. Maybe the look in her eyes, or maybe her full parted lips, but when she moved closer he didn't protest. He didn't even flinch because he didn't want to and he wasn't able to.

She pressed her lips against his though ever so lightly and he felt his eyes flutter shut automatically. Before he could respond to her actions she pulled away and Cole felt his heart leap as he looked into her eyes. She smiled slightly and cocked her head to the side, tucking a strand of red hair behind her ear as she did so.

''Now you can go.'' He licked his lips slowly the feeling of her warm lips lingering on his and he shook his head.

''Don't want to now.'' His voice was low and breath-like and Paige bit her lip as he wrapped his hand around her upper arm and pulled her close to him not so gently. Before she could say anything at all his lips were on hers, kissing her with such passion that she thought she'd faint. But she didn't, she kissed back and her hands moved up his broad back, identifying every single muscle that lay beneath his thin layer of clothing and skin. She shifted slightly as he deepened the kiss and soon she found herself laying back on her bed, Cole's body hovering above hers and his lips pulling away from her just a tiny little bit. She could feel his hot breath on her mouth and sighed involuntarily.

''God..''

''Don't you think that's a little extreme?'' He grinned and leaned on his arms still holding her gaze. A smile crossed her lips and she put her hands on his chest in an attempt to push him away.

''That was a little extreme, Cole.'' He moved and sat up, she followed suit and ran a hand through her hair, thinking of something to say.

''You kissed back.'' He remembered her and put his hand on her cheek. His thumb carressed her soft skin. She looked away and moved her head, his hand fell back into his lap.

''I know. I.. Cole we're supposed to hate each other.''

''I don't hate you.'' He leaned in for another kiss, but Paige moved away and turned her head.

''Cole stop it. I don't hate you either, but we really can't do this. It's wrong.'' She moved to get up, but Cole let out a somewhat frustrated noise and she looked at him, surprised.

''Are you playing games with me, Paige? Because then I might as well go.'' She shook her head in repsonse, taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. He wasn't looking friendly any longer. He was hurt and starting to get angry.

''Then let me kiss you.'' Please.

He didn't need to say that single word out loud for her to hear it. His blue eyes said it for him and she gave in. For once she ignored all the rules that the Elders had set for her being a whitelighter and she pulled him closer by his shirt, once more pressing her lips against his. A small smile crossed Cole's lips before he kissed back and again pushed the small witch down on her matress gently. He placed his hands on the mattress, one on each side of her body and he deepened the kiss. Careful and gentle at first. More passionate as her hands starting to roam his broad back.

He gave a shiver when her cold hands found their way underneath his shirt and the tiniest moan emitted from his throat as she lifted her hips, making Paige smile against his lips. Downstairs the front door slammed shut and Paige pulled away as she heard her eldest sister's voice drift up the stairs, sounding tired.

''Go.'' She moved and pushed him off of her, much against his wishes.

''Paige..''

''Cole, please go. If Phoebe finds out you were here..''

''Okay. Okay, I'm going, but I'll come back.'' He got to his feet and grabbed his shoes. Not bothering to put them on he leaned across the bed and placed a light kiss on the side of her head before concentrating on his powers and fading himself back to his lonely apartment. Paige quickly rearranged her pillows and leant back in them after finding her cellphone and sending Cole a short textmessage.

'You're a good kisser.'

pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
pretty baby why can't you see
you're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
for you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby
