Pair: Cole & Piper

Chapter 8

All important info is in the first 3 chapters.

After seeing Cole, naked, Piper tried extra hard to avoid him. She
was never alone with him and made sure she was very busy so he
wouldn't try to talk to her. Even though she really wanted to spend
time with Cole, she knew it would be impossible. She was a witch and
he is a demon. She felt he wouldn't hurt her, but she couldn't take
that chance.

"But he does have a great body." She whispered.

Cole was standing behind the bar, watching Piper when he noticed
Julie Smith walk in.

"Damn! Not her, not now." He whispered.

"What's wrong, boss?" Leo asked.

"Julie's here."

"Cole! I never thought I'd run into you, in here."

"It is my restaurant. What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to come over tonight. I can make us a
nice romantic dinner then we can spend the rest of the night getting
to know each other, again."

Cole had no intention sleeping with Julie, much less have dinner with
her, but he had to let her down easily, Julie doesn't like not
getting her way.

"Sorry, I can't make it. I have some work to do, after closing."

"You can put your work off, till tomorrow or have one of your
servants do it for you. I really want to see you, tonight."

"First of all, their not my servants, they work for me, and secondly,
it's my club so I do all the paperwork. The answer is no."

"Then I'll guess I'll stay for dinner. Please seat me by the bar."

Cole snapped his fingers at George and then walked away.

Piper watched Cole and the woman, hoping Cole wouldn't go with her.
Piper knew she had no right to feel that way, but Julie wasn't his
type. She seemed like a selfish, self-centered woman, used to getting
her own way.

Cole felt Piper watching him with Julie. He hoped she didn't get the
idea that he was interested in Julie.

"Piper, Can you stay for a while, after closing? I'd like a word
with you." He asked, taking her hand.

"Yeah, sure."

Julie watched Cole talk to the brunette. What was she to Cole? A new
love?

"We'll just have to put an end to that." She whispered.

A half hour later, Julie saw her chance to screw her rival up. Piper
was carrying a tray, filled with dirty dishes, to the kitchen, so
Julie stuck her foot out, so Piper would trip and fall.

When Piper went past Julie she felt Julie stick her foot out. Before
Piper hit the floor, she froze the room. Then she grabbed the tray
from mid air and continued to the kitchen. Once she was in the
kitchen, she unfroze the room.

Julie was shocked when she looked down.

"What happened?" she asked.

Piper just smiled as watching Julie try to make sense of what
happened.
