Chapter 14 - "Got milk?"
It had been a few days since Piper was attacked and Bane had arrived. The sisters still had to
deal with Alec. They wanted to use the simple but powerful 'power of three' spell, but Piper
still couldn't get up and around yet. She could try blowing him up if the spell didn't work but
again, she was too weak to leave the house.
Paige was in the kitchen reading a magazine, Bane walked in his boxers and she looked over at him.
"I hope you don't mind me staying here." Bane said to Paige who was tyring not to stare.
"Uh..no, not at all. I'ts not like you're going to be forever, just while this Alec business is
happening, right?"
"Yeah. I'm doing this for you're sisters and myself. I have to know he's dead."
Paige admired his will. Bane grabbed a milk carton out of the fridge. He shook it. "Got milk?"
Paige came back with, "Ooh, don't think so."
"I thought Phoebe was supposed to get the milk today." Prue said as she dragged herself into the
kitchen. She was still a little tired after working yesterday.
"No, she was going to but Cole asked her out again, so she is with him." Piper said as she leant
against the door frame.
"Piper what are you doing out of bed?" Prue wanted Piper to know that she should be resting.
"I'm hungry. I wanted to get something to eat."
"I could've brought you something in Piper." Bane said. Prue smiled at him on the inside.
"Thanks, but it's fine." Piper tried to use the walls as something to lean on as she walked.
"See? I'm fine." Piper smiled and then her face looked in pain as she fell to the floor. "Ahgh."
"Piper!" Paige, Prue and Bane ran over to pick her up.
"I told you, you should stay in bed as the doctor said." Prue ordered.
Piper tried to flash a sarcastic look at her older sister but she couldn't do it. Bane picked her
up and she put her arms around him. He carried her into her bedroom.
"I was serious when i said i can bring your breakfast to you." Bane smiled so he sould see Piper
smile. She did.
"Yeah, I'm sick of these four walls and it's only been three friken days." Piper whined.
"Hehe."
"What are you laughing at huh pal?"
"Oh, sorry. It's just you're cute when you're angry."
"Oh, and here i thought you thought Prue would be cute when she's angry." Piper thought Bane had
a thing for her sister Prue.
"Prue cute when she's angry? Naw, she sexy when she's angry and Phoebe is..."
"popular to boot. Paige is bitchin, great hair, the guys all like to stare..." Piper was cheer-
leading, well quoting from the 'bring it on' movie.
Bane laughed with Piper, not at her. "You know, i have never met anyone who can be so sarcastic,
and beautiful and funny and dramatic and protective about her sisters all at the same time.
"I'm Charmed."
(kitchen)
"What are they laughing at?" Prue asked. Her and Paige could hear Bane and Piper in the other
room.
"Hmm." Paige was thinking.
"Hmm? What was the 'hmm' for?"
"You're jealous."
"Jealous? I'm not jealous. I'm......jealous." Prue wasn't happy, she didn't like to be wrong.
"Yes you are and that's okay. It's good to see you with a guy again Prue." Paige was being the
caring sister.
"Yeah, but i'm not sure i'm actually with him you know?"
"No, i don't. Do tell."
"We have this great chemistry, and i do find him extremely hot.."
"Then what's the problem?" Paige never had any problems talking to guys.
"Piper."
"Piper? Oh you cruel woman, pick on the cripple."
*lol* "No, i'm not picking on her just because she's down or injured. It's just everytime i go
to talk with Bane, he is in her room 'helping' her. I'm starting to get the feeling that he will
end up liking her and not me." Prue was stirring her cup of tea around even though it was already
stirred enough.
"Ohh Prue. He is just a kind person, that's all. He cares about Piper because he cares about you.
He wants to make her feel better. I'm just guessing but, in the back of his mind, getting a good
rep. with your sister will get him a better rep. with you."
Prue knew Paige was on the right track. "Wow Paige. Are you sure you're not the psychic in this
family?"
"Hehe no, i'm sure about that." Prue smiled and drank her overly stirred tea. "Speaking of family
psychics, what do you think about ours?"
"Phoebe? I love her, she's our sister. You know that." Prue had no idea where Paige was heading.
"I didn't mean her as a person, i meant her with her lovelife - as in her choice of men."
"Oh, well you could've said it like that in the first place." Paige stuck her tongue out at Prue.
"I think Cole will be good for Phoebe. He has a promising job, because he is good at it - and he
seems to be a very level headed guy who knows what he wants. Who knows, maybe will see what being
with an older guy is like and then maybe she wont go out with guys who just want a bang and that
don't have any direction in their lives."
"Wow, and here i was looking for a short answer. But i do partially agree with you, just don't
tell her i said that...and how do you know that he is good at his job?"
"I've seen him in court. One of my clients had artefacts stolen and went to court on the weekend."
"Oh well that's good..i meant about Cole being a good lawyer, not about your clients stuff being
stolen." Paige corrected herself.
"Did it work out?" Bane said as he re-entered the room. Prue went to answer but stopped because
Bane had kissed her on the cheek.
Prue was blushing, "Uh....yeah the case worked out, Cole won."
"Good for him." Bane was now wearing actual clothes but Paige still stared a little.
"Okay, i think i'm gonna go to the store and get some milk or something." Paige grabbed her purse
and left the house.
