When Piper woke up the next morning she was laying on her side. Cole was behind her with his arm around her, spooning her.

Piper sighed. What had she done to Leo? To Cole? This wasn't fair to either one of them. She thought with her heart last night, not her head. What was she going to do? She felt a tear trickle down her cheek.

She wanted to leave before Cole woke up. She had to get herself figured out, she didn't want to hurt him by being upset.

She gently moved his arm back and slipped out of his bed Cole didn't stir. Piper breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Cole as he slept. His hair was tousled. There were red marks on his neck and chest that she had put there last night. He had a smile on his face.

"I meant what I said last night Cole, I love you" she said softly as she watched him. Piper turned and began to pick up her cloths.

Her shirt and skirt were still wet from the rain. She could wear the skirt, but she couldn't but the shirt back on, she had to walk home, her car was still at P3.

Piper crept back in the bedroom and picked up the blue shirt Cole had worn last night. She slipped it on as she grabbed her keys.

Piper didn't think about much on the walk home. She just let her mind wander on things, especially replaying last night. Cole's scent was on the shirt, and she breathed it in with every breath she took.

Piper opened the door of the manor when she got home to find Paige sitting in a chair in the living room, arms crossed. Piper knew Paige was waiting on her.

"Well, I was going to ask where you were all night but since your wearing a man's shirt, I believe I know" Paige said. "I'd bet my life that is Cole's shirt."

Piper felt all the built up emotion falling out as the tears came to her eyes. "I love him Paige. I know its wrong and I know I have betrayed Leo and hurt him beyond anything, but I can't stop how I feel about Cole. I didn't mean for last night to happen but it did, and I don't regret it at all."

Paige stood up and hugged Piper. "I don't think it's right for you to betray Leo. I want you to be happy though, and if Cole makes you happy, then I will support your choice. But be honest with Leo, don't hurt him more than you have to."

"Thank you Paige. I was afraid you and Phoebe wouldn't accept my choice, and there would be more problems between us" Piper said.

" I don't know about Phoebe. I can't imagine how she will react when she finds out, but as for me, you're my sister. I love you, which means I love whatever you decide to do." Paige said.

Just then the front door opened and Phoebe walked in, wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt. "Good morning dear sisters! I just wanted to pick up some fresh clothes and visit with you guys. I know I've been at Dales a lot, but he is so incredible you guys wouldn't believe how amazing he is. Is that Cole's shirt?" Phoebe asked, realizing Piper was wearing an evening skirt and Cole's shirt, which was to big for her.

"Phoebe, I.." Piper started.

"YOU BITCH!" Phoebe screamed, leaping at Piper.

Paige grabbed Phoebe. "Calm down Phoebe" she said.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down? The slut is fucking my husband!" Phoebe shrieked.

"EX husband." They heard Cole say. The girls turned, he was standing in the doorway of the manor, glairing at Phoebe, his face red with anger. He had on last nights dress pants and a black sweater.

" I didn't fuck her, we made love. And don't you ever call her a slut again" he warned Phoebe. Cole looked over at Piper who was staring at him.

He walked over to her and quietly grabbed her hand. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" he asked her, looking into her eyes.

Piper nodded, and he shimmered them up to her bedroom. She sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Piper, why did you leave me this morning? Do you regret what happened?" he asked her, sitting down beside her, still holding her hand.

'Cole, I'm sorry. I don't regret what happened, I just needed some time to think about it. I still have Leo to think about. This is going to break his heart.

' I understand Piper, it's just when you weren't there I thought you were angry. I was scarred and I could stand not knowing, I had to come to you." he said, his eyes shinning with love.

Piper leaned over and kissed him gently. He pulled her down on the bed with him. " I love you Piper, no matter what happens, I always will." he told her.

She reached up and kissed him again. Cole began to kiss he back as he rolled her so that he was laying on her. His hands on either side of her, propping himself up. Cole brought his hand down to undo her shirt. Piper reached up and stopped him. She broke the kiss.
"I can't do this on Leo's bed. I can't hurt him anymore than I already have." she told him.

"I understand Piper." he told her. They stood up and fixed their clothes. She reached up and kissed him again.

"So what now?" he asked.

"We go down and try to explain to Phoebe that we are in love." she said, taking his hand.
