Uh... Excuse me for a second..." I said as I ran to get Wyatt.
"Oh, that's your baby?" Matt frowned.
"Yeah, why?" I had a concerned look on my face, but already I knew where this was going. Matt was gonna ditch me just because of Wyatt.
"Oh... Nothing. It's just that earlier when I tried to play with him, he didn't seem to like me all that much..." Matt said looking at the floor.
I looked a little confused. "Huh, well that's weird." I gave Wyatt a look saying that he was in trouble. I don't know what he did, but it couldn't have been good. I wished Wyatt would let me go out on at least a few dates instead of scaring them all off.
"Yeah, speaking of weird. Piper, I gotta talk to you in the kitchen." Chris said semi-urgently.
"Now?" I had a pleading look on my face.
"Yes. Now." Chris said.
I trotted over to the kitchen with Wyatt on my shoulders. I felt like a three-year-old about to get told off by her father. Ugh... Not fun.
"Okay. So what do you want?" I asked Chris as we reached the kitchen.
"Well, there's no easy way to say this but..."
"But what?" I said impatiently.
"Well, I think you should go out with Matt." Chris looked at me. I didn't really understand what he was saying. I gave him a very suspicious work. He was obviously cooking something up here. And I didn't like it.
I was really shocked. "What? Why?" It was obvious that I liked Matt from my behavior, but the fact that Chris was trying to set me up with him made me confused and very, very suspicious as I said earlier...
"Well, I just think it's time that you met some new and got serious with."
"Chris, since when is my love life any of your concern?" I was beginning to wonder if Matt knew Chris was setting us up. And if he did, I would kill Chris. I hated being set up. Then I started to wonder how I would handle Wyatt if I ever did go out with Matt. This probably won't work out... I thought.
"Well, I'm just trying to look out for you. Being your whitelighter and all." Chris looked me dead in the eye. It was a little creepy. But at least I could tell he was giving me the truth.
I looked out the window. "Yeah... See... This is something that only sisters do for each other. Not whitelighters. And besides, how do you even know he's my type?" I tried to make it sound as if I didn't really care for Matt even though I feel head over heels in love with him the first time I saw him. And I didn't even know him at all! That was the scary part.
"Look, Piper, I can tell you like him. You were blushing like a little girl the whole time you were talking with him there." He smiled. I hated him right now. "Come on, just give him a chance. It's not like he's going to kill you. I've already checked him out."
Er... Okay... I thought. I didn't exactly know what that meant. Then I thought, Damn. I wish I weren't so transparent. I sighed. "Okay. I'll go out with him." I was jumping inside.
"Okay, well go ask him."
I felt the color drain out of me. "What?! You didn't tell him?! I mean, if you're gonna set someone up with someone, you gotta let them know!"
"Oh... Didn't know that. Well, I guess we all learn from our mistakes. Now go in there." He started to push me to the door. I hate you, Chris. I thought to myself. But just then, Phoebe came into the kitchen. Saved! I thought.
"What, Piper. That guy in there has the hots for you. I could feel it. He definitely want you, and he's really hot to." Phoebe said as she was fanning her face trying to show me how hot he was. Like I didn't already know.
"Really?" I said. Happiness spread through me.
"Yeah... So are you gonna go out with him?" She said excitedly. That was thing with Phoebe. She got high with other people's emotions. Oh well, you gotta love her enthusiasm nonetheless. "I guess so..."
"Great!" Phoebe and Chris said at the same time. I loved the support they were giving me, but at the same time, I didn't. If that makes sense.
"Now, get in there and ask him out. Chris said pushing me out of the kitchen.
----------------------------------
I walked into the living room to see Matt staring at pictures of Phoebe, Paige, and me. I cleared my throat to show I was in the room and get his attention. He turned around and smiled. I had to admit, I love his smile and his perfect white teeth. I almost felt like I was going to melt right then and there.
"Oh, uh... Sorry. I was just look around." He sat down on the sofa.
"Don't worry about it. They're old pictures anyway." What the hell was I saying? I felt myself blush again. I felt so stupid. Why was I acting this way?
"Cool." He looked at me in the eye and said, "Listen, do you wanna go out with me sometime?"
I breathed a sigh of relief inside. I was glad he asked and I didn't have to. "Sure." I smiled looking right back at him. "When do you wanna go? I was very giddy inside. I don't know why, but there was just something about Matt that made me feel almost as safe as when I was with Leo. I wasn't really comfortable with him yet, obviously, but I figured that that would come naturally after we've gotten to know each other a little more. If that happens, that is.
----------------------------------
A while later, Matt left. We agreed to go out on Friday night. I realized after he left that we never agreed on where we were going to meet. Oh well, I thought. I was too happy to sweat the details at the moment.
I was picturing Matt's picturesque face in my mind. His beautiful, seemingly silky brown hair, his striking green eyes, his beautiful, full lips, his perfect cheeks -
"Ah... Daydreaming, I see." Said a voice behind me. I recognized it as Paige's.
"What are you talking about?" I said, trying to hide my embarrassment. I said to myself, Damn, I got caught!
"Phoebe told me about your really hot date for Friday night. News spreads fast around this house, you know."
"No kidding." I muttered.
"Well anyway, if you need any help or advice, you know where to reach me." She offered.
"Huh." I thought for a little while. Actually, I did need help. Major help. I hadn't dated anyone who I actually wanted to go with in a long time.
Paige started to inch towards the door.
"Hey, Paige - Hold on a sec."
"Yeah?" She turned around and looked at me comfortingly. She knew I was going to ask for help. Oh well. That's what sisters are for.
I suddenly found myself spilling my guts out about Matt, how insecure I felt about being a single mother even though I had been for quite a while now, and other thoughts that I'd had in my mind that I didn't really think were irking me, but I said them out loud to my younger sister anyway. Even though she was the youngest and I was the oldest, I felt like we switched places as I was talking and she was comforting me. I don't know why I had just suddenly rambled on about how I was feeling. But it did make me feel a helluva lot better.
After my endless rambling, Paige sat me down, sat next to me, and then comforted me. Just the way normal sisters did. I suddenly felt a whole lot better and less worried about my date Friday night.
"Oh, that's your baby?" Matt frowned.
"Yeah, why?" I had a concerned look on my face, but already I knew where this was going. Matt was gonna ditch me just because of Wyatt.
"Oh... Nothing. It's just that earlier when I tried to play with him, he didn't seem to like me all that much..." Matt said looking at the floor.
