On with the story

Paige woke up with the sun shining in her eyes. She groaned and looked at her watch. It was 9:30 already. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at her sister and Cole. It seemed strange to see her sister in someone else's arms.

Cole was leaning against the headboard, his head dropped to one side. His arm was around Piper, who was sitting up leaning into him. Her face was buried in his shirt, her hand clutching still clutching his.

Cole looked uncomfortable sleeping like that, but Paige didn't want to wake them up. She didn't know who Piper was going to feel when she did wake. Paige decided to start the coffee first, and slipped out of the room quietly.

Cole groaned as he woke up. His neck was stiff and soar. He slowly opened his eyes. Paige wasn't in the room anymore, but he could hear her downstairs. He prayed she was making some really strong coffee.

Cole looked down in his arms at Piper. She was still sleeping. She looked so innocent and peaceful. He couldn't believe anyone would hurt the angel in his arms.

Cole couldn't help but enjoy the feel of her in his arms, her body so close to his. He studied her face. 'She is so much more beautiful then Phoebe ever was' he thought. 'Phoebe always had a hard, unfriendly face, Piper's is soft and welcoming'

He remembered watching her walk across the dance floor last night before he knew who she was. Her beautiful hair catching the light, her gorgeous body moving gracefully across the room. 'Damn man' Cole thought. 'Stop this now. The girl is married, and she's your ex sister-in-law. Besides, she was just attacked and she needs a friend, not a horny half-demon' Cole knew he couldn't stop how he felt, but he could control it. 'Its nothing more than a result of the time I have spent alone' he tried to tell himself.

The front door of the manor slammed open. "Paige! Piper! I'm home!" Cole heard his bitchy ex-wife yell out. "I'm going to hit the shower"

Before Paige could get out of the kitchen, Phoebe was running up the stairs. Paige tried to chase her down. "Phoebe wait! I need to tell you something!"

Cole stiffened as he heard Phoebe approach the room. He hadn't seen the bitch in months, and he didn't want to see her now. He could shimmer out, but he didn't want to leave Piper, who was still asleep in his arms.

Cole heard Paige try to stop Phoebe, but it was too late. As Phoebe passed Pipers door she stopped. "Morning Pip…." her mouth dropped at the site of Cole clutching her sister, whose face was bruised.

"PIPER!" she screamed. "Paige help! Cole has got Piper!" Phoebe grabbed a lamp from the near by table and hurled it at Cole as hard as she could.

Cole did the only thing he could think of. He shimmered himself and Piper out of there, and to his penthouse. The landed on his bed. Cole wanted to give Paige some time to calm Phoebe down and catch her up before he took Piper home. He felt Piper start to stir as she awoke.

Paige heard Phoebe yelling as she found Cole in Piper's room. She raised her hands to orb the lamp, but Cole shimmered himself and Piper out. The lamp shattered against the headboard, where Cole's head had been seconds before. Paige hoped Cole stayed wherever they went, it would take awhile to fill Phoebe in.

"So you believe his pathetic story? He is probably the one who attacked her! And now he has her somewhere, doing god knows what, while we are sitting here talking" Phoebe told Paige, after Paige had filled her in on her big sister's attack, and Cole brining her home safe.

"You wouldn't say that if you him and Piper together. She wouldn't let go of him, even in her drugged state. She completely trusted him." Paige insisted.

" I don't know Paige, I don't trust him. He's evil. He's a damn demon Paige! I mean look at what he did to me" Phoebe said. "But I'll listen to what Piper has to say IF he brings her back"

Cole watched as Piper woke up. She looked around. "Cole?" she said softly , realizing she could talk again. 'Thank god!' she thought.

Piper sat up and looked at Cole. His blue eyes were shinning, his dark hair was messy. Looking at him took her breath away. 'No wonder Phoebe was so addicted to him' Piper thought. She shook her head. 'What the hell am I thinking, the drugs must still be in my system' she decided.

Cole watched Piper sit up and turn to him. She whispered his name as she looked up, sending chills down his spine. Her brown hair was wavy and soft, falling over her shoulders, only her bruised eye was awful to look at on the beautiful face. He was memorized by her beauty. How could he not have noticed this before? He was so wrapped up in Phoebe's constant drama that he had never seen the goddess that was her sister.

He noticed Piper was studying him. She finally shook her head. He wondered what she was thinking about.

"Piper, how are you feeling?" He asked her as she reached for her hand.

"I'm okay Cole. A little sore, and a little shook up. But I will be for awhile." Piper looked around again. "Where are we?"
"We are at my penthouse. Phoebe came home this morning and wasn't to happy to see me, she threw a lamp at me, so I had to get out of there, and I didn't want to wake you. We'll go back in a few minutes, I want to give Paige some time to diffuse the situation. "

Piper came out of Cole's bathroom to find he had changed into a fresh outfit and fixed his hair. She had pulled hers back in a messy ponytail. She still had her Pjs on, she would change when she went home. Cole was standing on the balcony overlooking the park. She walked out beside him.

"Cole?" she said softly.

He looked at her as she walked out on the balcony. The wind caught her hair. Her eye looked so painful. He reached out and touched her face. "Piper, are you sure your okay? "

"Yeah Cole. I mean, my face hurts like hell, but I'm okay. Thanks to you. I owe you so much for saving me like that. And for risking a run in with Phoebe to stay with me."

Piper walked close to Cole and hugged him. "Ready to go home" he whispered into her hair. He had to move away from her. His thoughts were becoming to dangerous. He had know idea why he was thinking or feeling this way.

"Yes, I hope Phoebe has calmed down by now" Piper grabbed Cole's hand and he shimmered them back to the manor.
