Author's Note: The story is set a few months after Centennial Charmed. Piper is not pregnant. Cole is half-human and has all of his normal powers and is not insane. Phoebe still works at the Bay Mirror and Paige is a full- time witch.
Piper walked into the Manor, still wondering if she should tell her sisters or not about Cole. 'If I tell them I know they will try and vanquish him. If I don't tell them and Cole is evil then I am in trouble.' Piper thought as she walked into the kitchen.
Phoebe was in the kitchen eating a snack since she couldn't sleep. "Hey Piper, how was the club?"
Piper looked at her sister and replied, "Huh? Oh-it was great after Leo left." Piper was about to tell Phoebe more when she was cut off. "Leo went to the club? What happened? Are you ok?"
"Yeah Leo was there. He didn't say much, just yelled at me for talking to someone. And yes—I'm fine." Piper explained.
Phoebe went over to Piper and hugged her. Piper hugged her back. "I am so sorry Leo hurt you." Piper pulled away to see her sisters' face.
"Hey, it's not your fault. Leo was drunk and it was an accident." Piper told Phoebe. Piper went back to thinking about Cole. She wanted to see him badly but was afraid he was evil.
Phoebe sensed Piper had something on her mind other than Leo. "What's up? You seem to have something else on your mind."
Piper snapped back to reality. "Oh nothing, just thinking about stuff. I am going to head up to bed now." Piper headed up the stairs to her and Leo's bedroom. When she opened the door she saw Leo sitting on the bed crying.
"Leo what's wrong?" Piper asked sitting next to him. Leo moved away from her.
"Stay away." Leo said. "Leo what's wrong?" Piper asked again.
"I hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you in anyway and I did. I hate myself." Leo said, sniffling.
Piper looked at Leo, unsure of what to say. "I won't blame you if you hate me." Leo stated.
Piper moved by Leo. "I don't hate you. I know you were drunk."
Leo saw tears in Piper's eyes. "No, I think you stay away from me. I don't want to hurt you." And with that Leo orbed out.
Piper sat there, stunned. After moments she stood up and took a shower. She thought about calling Leo but knew he wouldn't answer. Piper then made up her mind. She needed to talk to Cole.
Piper went to bed and was going to go to Cole's place in the morning.
The next morning
Piper walked down to the kitchen in her pajamas. She started making breakfast when Phoebe came down. "Hey sleepy head." Piper said giggling. "Where's Paige? I didn't see her last night."
"She went out with this Ryan guy last night. She must be with him." Phoebe explained. "So what do you have planned today?" Phoebe asked.
Piper became nervous. She wasn't about to tell her sisters about Cole, especially Phoebe. "I just have to run some errands. I don't know when I'll be home."
"Awe and I wanted to spend some sisterly bonding time with my sister too." Phoebe laughed. "How about tomorrow?" Piper asked. She really wanted to spend some time with Phoebe when it didn't involve any Wiccan things.
"Sure thing." Phoebe said, watching Piper cook. She was starving. Piper finished making the eggs and gave a plate to Phoebe. Piper put some on a plate and sat down.
After Piper finished she told Phoebe she had to go get ready to leave and ran upstairs.
In Piper's room
Piper went to her dresser and picked out a denim skirt that came right above her knees and a tan long-sleeved shirt. Piper set the items on her bed as she went to take a bath. While she was in the bath she kept thinking about Cole and what she was going to say to him. 'Why am I so nervous? It is just Cole.' Piper thought.
When Piper was done she put on her outfit and put her hair into a ponytail and put on her black boots that came up to about her knee.
Piper ran downstairs and got into her car and left to Cole's.
At the penthouse
Piper walked up to Cole's door and before knocking on the door she took a deep breath to help her get rid of her nerves.
Piper knocked and waited for Cole to answer the door. When he finally did, Piper felt a smile come to her lips. "Hey Cole."
Cole felt himself melt when Piper smiled at him. "Hey Piper, come in." Cole moved aside to let Piper in.
Cole told her to sit down while Cole sat beside her. "So what brings you here?" He asked curiously.
"It's about Leo. I don't know what's going on with us anymore." Piper told him. "Just the other night Leo..." Piper paused, not sure whether or not to tell Cole.
"What did Wyatt do?" Cole clenched his fists. Leo better not have hurt her or else Cole would kill him. 'Why am I thinking this? I don't love Piper.' Col thought.
"Leo threw me against the wall." Piper saw that Cole was angry that Leo hurt her and was surprised that Cole wasn't surprised. "It was by accident of course." Piper covered up. It seemed that she said it more because she tried to convince herself.
"Accident? What, He tried to touch you but accidentally threw you into a wall."
"No Cole, he was drunk. He didn't know what he was doing." Piper defended.
"Listen Piper, I have been drunk plenty of enough times to tell you that he knew what he was doing."
Tears came to Piper's eyes when she realized that Cole was right. Cole saw her crying and didn't know what to do. He did the only thing he could think of. He took Piper in his arms and just held her. Cole was surprised by how right it felt holding Piper. Piper snuggled into his arms and cried. Cole didn't try to comfort by meaningless words. He just gave her a shoulder to cry on.
Moments later Piper let go of Cole and looked away. "I should probably go." Piper went to go sit up when Cole grabbed her hand.
"Don't go yet Piper." Cole said with pleading eyes. Piper stared into his eyes and numbingly nodded. Pipe felt herself being pulled back into Cole's arms. Piper looked back up at him and did the only thing her mind told her to do. She kissed him. Cole was shocked but gave into the kiss. It was the best kiss he ever experienced. The kiss got deeper but before it went too far Piper pulled away.
"Oh my god. What did I do?" Piper questioned out loud. Piper loved kissing Cole. She felt passion with him that she had never known with Leo. But she wasn't going to cheat on Leo.
Cole looked away. "I'm sorry Piper. It shouldn't have happened."
"No Cole, Don't' apologize. I liked the kiss. A lot." Piper smiled. "It's just that I don't want to cheat on Leo."
"I understand."
"They are all probably wondering where I am so I should go." Before Piper stood up to leave she leaned over and kissed Cole.
Before Piper walked through the door, Cole called out to her. "Can you come by tomorrow?"
"I can't. I am spending time with Phoebe. But I promise I will come by the day after that so I can be here longer with you."
Cole nodded and Piper left to go back to the Manor.
A.N Thanks for the reviews! I am glad that you like it! Please keep R&R! I saw an episode where Leo looked so cute so I wanted to go easy on him but I will make Leo act evil in most of the chapters.
