Pair: Cole & Piper
Chapter 12
All important info is in the first 3 chapters.
Piper
felt a little guilty that she left without talking to her
sisters.
But she wasn't ready to tell them how she felt about Cole or
their
kisses. She wanted to keep them to herself, for a little
while
longer.
"Now I just need to find the perfect dress to knock Cole's socks off."
Cole had just gotten out of the shower when Dawn shimmered in.
"Hello Cole."
"Damn it, Dawn! Don't you know how to knock!" he exclaimed.
Why should I knock when you're my husband?"
"I'm not your husband. I left you three
years ago and filed for a
divorce."
"Demon marriages are forever." She purred.
"Not anymore.
Once demons, warlocks and other magical beings became
legal, all
the human laws applied to us. So, we're divorced. Now
leave. I
don't want to see you, ever again."
"Now, is that anyway to talk to your wife."
"Get out!" Cole shouted.
Dawn smiled as she shimmered away.
Cole
couldn't believe her gall. Coming back here and claiming that
they
were still married.
"She won't get away with it!"
"Wow Piper, you look hot. Anyone I know?" Leo asked.
Piper smiled back. "As if you didn't know. Is he upstairs?"
"Yep, go right on up."
Cole was sitting behind his desk, trying
to concentrate on the bills,
when someone knocked on the
door.
"Damn it! I told you to leave…" Cole started
to say, when he opened
the door, to Piper.
Piper, I'm sorry, I thought you were Da…someone else."
"Who?"
Cole
sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. He knew he should
tell
Piper about Dawn, but he was afraid. What if she hated him,
forever?
He couldn't deal if she turned away from him.
"Come here, we need to talk." He said, taking her hand.
"I don't like the sound of that."
Cole sat down and pulled Piper onto his lap.
"Please let me tell you everything, before
you make up your mind,
about me; about us."
"Okay, I promise."
Piper listened as Cole told her about his
mother, Dawn, their
marriage and her betrayal.
"Now
she seems to think that we're still married. I even sent her a
copy
of the divorce papers. But she told me that demons marry
forever.
So, are you going to run away?"
Piper stood up, took his hand, and pulled him up.
"Cole, there's something I need
to tell you. I'm a witch. I used to
vanquish demons, warlocks and
such. Although, I wouldn't have had the
heart to vanquish you, I
would have defiantly vanquished Dawn."
Cole smiled, pulling her close.
"I do advise you to be careful. She's
not mean, but she's used to
getting her own way. Promise me you
won't believe anything she says,"
"I promise. Now,
what do you think of my dress? I spent over two
hours picking it
out."
"Wow! It's great! I love it!"
"Now that's the reaction I was hoping for."
Piper put her arms around Cole and kissed him.
Little did they know that Dawn was watching them.
