Part Four
Paige let Josef open the door for her and take her hand as she led her out of his black Jaguar car and into the restaurant. It felt nice to slip back in time for a night and let someone do things for her. She offered him a small smile as he glanced over his shoulder to look back at her.
"You look amazing."
"Thank you," She replied slightly blushing. "So do you."
As she looked up she glanced straight into his face. She lost herself in his deep blue eyes and felt her heart melt. She had no idea why she was falling for this guy so fast, but she was falling hard and had no intension of stopping it.
Paige followed Josef through to the bar as she waited for their table to come available. She smiled as he softly touched her face and settled a small kiss on her lips. Paige felt her heart jump, this was where the real date started and the chit chat ended.
"So what can I get you to drink? Red, white, cocktail?" He asked her.
"Just a sparkling water." She told both Josef and the bartender. "I don't drink."
Josef offered her a small smile as he tilted his head slightly, "How come?"
"I'm not really sure that's a first date story." Paige explained. "I'd say it's a least a third or a fourth date tale."
"Is there going to be a third or a fourth date?"
"I hope so," Paige lent forward and met Josef lips; she kissed him softly and let his tongue slip into her mouth.
"This is a public place," A waiter said interrupting their kiss. "And your table's ready."
"Wow, I feel like Sam out of 'Sex in the City'." Paige whispered as she got up and squeezed his hand.
"Who?"

Phoebe slumped on the sofa in the living room as she half hearted watched the television and let her day disappear. This was her favourite part of the day, those hours when she just relaxed and unwound before getting things done for the next day or going out and enjoying the evening.
"Hey demon magnet."
Phoebe sighed and glanced upwards, "What do you want future boy?"
She just could not put her finger on it, but there was just something that made her feeling uncomfortable about Chris, something that he was hiding. He's sulking, bad boy attitude was getting old and his nicknames for him were winding her up even further.
"What's red head doing with the pensioner?"
"I take it you mean Paige and Josef."
"That would be it." Chris replied as he sat on the arm of the sofa.
"So what do you want to know Chris?" Phoebe asked as she sat up a little.
"What's the deal with that?"
Phoebe glanced at Chris. Of all the people that normally sided with her it had hardly ever been Chris. They just had so little in common with each other, yet it looked like it was set to agree on Paige's latest date situation.
"She's a adult Chris, it means that she can do what she wants."
"Yeah I guess," He replied. "But has she lost her mind."
Phoebe let out a small laugh, "I'd watch what you say. If she hears, she can orb your bits elsewhere."
"She'd do that?"
"Oh, you don't know Paige yet do you." Phoebe told him with a small smirk.
"Guess not, but at least he's just a hundred." Chris replied. "And not the source of all evil."
Phoebe stared at Chris before getting to her feet, "I've got to go."
Phoebe glanced back at the young whitelighter before heading for the stairs. She had to find someone else, someone sane who agreed with her about Paige and Josef. But with any luck her little sister would have a dreadful date and that would be the end of it.
Phoebe mentally scolded herself as she reached her bedroom door. If Paige was happy then she should be happy for her and not hoping that her love life ended up disastrously.

Paige smiled across the table from over her sushi; the date was going so well. She had never clicked so well with on person in such a short period of time. He shared so many of her interests and worked at the newspaper writing articles to help people. She had to admire how hands on and devoted to his work he was.
She smiled as she felt her heart jump a little again. There had to be a reason why he was still single. Decent people did not stay single for long, generally everyone she like had been taken. But then what did that say about her; she'd been single for a good eight months now.
"So what's your story?" Paige asked. "Why are you still single."
"The same reason as you I guess. I've not found the right person yet."
"But you must have had relationships before?" Paige questioned.
"I got divorced a couple of years ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Paige stuttered quickly. "I didn't mean anything by that. I've really put my foot in it haven't I?"
"Don't worry about it. I do it all the time." Josef replied. "Put my foot it I mean. It means that I'm a real person and you definitely are."
Paige smiled, "Thank you."

Piper stared at Wyatt settled peacefully in his crib before turning and heading downstairs. If she could not get any answers from Leo, she was going to get them from Chris. She almost ran down the stairs. She wanted to know what was happening with her husband.
"Chris!!!" She yelled.
"Okay, I'm not deaf." Chris moaned as he looked up from the sofa.
"What are you doing?" Piper questioned. "Never mind, where's Leo?"
"He's an elder." Chris told her sarcastically without taking his eyes off the television. "So I'm guessing he's up there."
Piper made her way over to the television and turned it off, "You know that's just not good enough anymore. I want my husband."
"Get over it, hyper mom." Chris replied in a bored tone as he reached towards the remote control. "He's doing his job and you need to do yours."
"No, that's not good enough." Piper replied stubbornly. "Leo, Leo, Leo!"
Piper smiled as she saw golden orbs appearing in the living room that formed into her husband.
Paige let Josef open the door for her and take her hand as she led her out of his black Jaguar car and into the restaurant. It felt nice to slip back in time for a night and let someone do things for her. She offered him a small smile as he glanced over his shoulder to look back at her.
