A Heart's Cry
Chapter 2
"So how are things with you?" Piper asked. She enjoyed holding Cole's hand. Heck, it had been so long since she held any man's hand.
"Fine. Fine. You know the same old things. Go to work, come home, and think of what went wrong between me and Phoebe," Cole said. He didn't feel weird talking about any of these things with Piper. He was already on Cloud Nine from holding her hand.
"I know Phoebe tells you all the time, but you should really try to move on with your life. Holding on to the past will prevent you from having a better future."
"Yeah, I know. But you can't forget your one true love in seconds. Everything is easier said than done," Cole pointed out.
"That's true. But what if Phoebe wasn't your love. You're preventing yourself from moving on and finding your true love," Piper said.
"Piper, I can't just forget about Phoebe as easily as she forgets about me. Could you do that with Leo?" Cole asked.
"You're right, but I'm not sure what I'd do for Leo now. I use to think I'd go crazy without Leo's love, but I'm questioning my love, now."
"So I take it things aren't so great between you and Leo," Cole asked.
"It's the usual. He orbs out at any time of the day. I understand that it's his job, but sometimes I question whether we're meant to be," Piper said.
"Like me and Phoebe?"
"Like you and Phoebe."
"If you don't mind me asking, what did Leo say to you?" Cole asked.
Piper looked at him surprised.
"I kinda saw him talking to you and you didn't look too happy."
"What can you expect when you marry an angel? I guess I thought it was the perfect dream. Guess I was wrong." Piper looked away for a second.
"Things don't always turn out the way you want them to be, but that doesn't mean you can't try for them," Cole said.
"You should hear yourself," Piper smiled. Cole stopped for a second. Piper stopped and faced him.
"You think we'll ever be truly happy?" Cole asked. He and Piper starred deeply into each other's eyes. They both got lost in the moment and Cole bent down to kiss Piper.
Piper pulled away after a minute and said, "We can try." She then kissed him back.
Cole shimmered them to his bedroom at the penthouse. Piper stumbled and was about to fall over backwards, when Cole caught her.
"I got you," he said. Piper looked up at Cole. She saw the look in his eyes that she had seen only once before.
"This is wrong," Piper pulled herself from Cole's grasp.
"It's also very right," Cole said drawing Piper closer.
"But it's not like....
"Before?" Cole asked.
"Cole...
"I know. I know. I promised I wouldn't bring it up, but I wonder, did you ever regret it?" Cole asked.
"Cole, it was very wrong just as it is now."
"I know, but did you regret it?" Cole asked again.
"It was just lust or infatuation or something. It was never meant to be. Our hearts belonged to someone else," Piper looked away from Cole.
"Piper, look at me. Look into my eyes and tell me if you ever regretted it?" Cole asked turning Piper's face to face him.
Piper was quiet for a minute and then said, "No. I never met anyone who could put so many feelings inside of me."
They were quiet for another minute.
"Did you ever regret it?" Piper asked Cole.
"No, because it felt right for me. I never doubted being with you."
"Why?"
"Because I never felt happier in my life before, until I met you," Cole brought Piper closer to him. Their noses were touching and they were moving slowly as if in a dance. "It was a miracle no one ever found out."
"Yup...all those times we were alone....
"Would it hurt to do that again?" Cole asked.
"I wouldn't know," Piper said as she led Cole to the bed.
But they were wrong. Someone did know. Because across town Phoebe was with Miles and she was wearing Piper's earrings. Just as she tugged at her ears while talking to Miles, she was hit with a premonition of Piper and Cole....passionately making love.
Sorry this chapter wasn't so long.
