Becky, I appreciate all your help.

Chpt. 8

"Prue, I invited Cole for dinner, tonight." "You seem nervous." "I am. I'm going to tell Cole I love him."

When Cole arrived, Piper met him at the door. "Cole, hi." Cole pulled Piper into his arms and kissed her. "I missed you." He finally said. "We saw each other last night" Piper whispered. "I still missed you." "Hi, Cole." Prue said as she and Phoebe came down the stairs. "Hi, ladies." Cole said, blushing. Piper took Cole's hand and led him to the dinning room. "Do you like the apartment?" Phoebe asked. "It's a great apartment. I'll be moving in as soon as it's painted." "Where will you stay till it's complete?" Prue asked. "At a hotel, close to work." "How does it feel to be back in San Francisco?" Prue asked. "I love being back. I get to see old friends and new loves." Cole said, smiling at Piper.

After Prue and Phoebe left for their dates Piper realized it was time to tell Cole how she felt. "Cole, I have something to tell you." "You sound serious. Is something wrong?" he asked, moving closer to Piper. "Nothings wrong. I just have something important to say." Cole took Piper's hand and kissed it. Then he kissed her forehead, checks and lips. "I can't. I can't talk when you do that." "I'm sorry. You were saying?" "This is hard for me to say, but I can't deny my feelings anymore. I love you, Cole." "What did you say?" "After Leo, it was hard for me to trust another guy. But you're different. You make me feel special. I love you." Cole kissed Piper. "I love you too."
