A.N: Sorry it took awhile for an update. I had writers block. But now that
is over and I wrote y'all this chapter. Hope y'all like it!
Piper laid on Cole's chest. He ran his fingers through her hair and he took in her scent. She smelled like rain and heaven. She ran a hand over his chest. "This place, right now, it's perfect." She said sighing in content.
"It's like nothing else exists or matters when I'm with you or thinking about you." Cole admitted.
"I feel the same way." She said smiling. She gave him a kiss when the phone started ringing. Cole groaned loudly then quickly put on his boxers. He gave Piper a quick kiss then walked out to the living room where the phone was.
"Hello?" Cole asked picking up the phone. He wanted to get off the phone as soon as he could so he could get back into bed with Piper. He wanted to hold her and kiss her.
"Cole, This is Leo. I want you to bring my wife home right now!" Leo yelled through the phone. Leo was at some motel because the sisters had kicked him out of the house.
"Leo? I'm not bringing Piper home unless she wants to go. I'm especially not bringing her to you." Cole said quietly. He didn't want Piper to hear him. He didn't know how she would react to knowing Leo wanted her home.
"She is my wife! You can't keep her from me." Leo said angrily. 'I will come after Piper. No one can keep me from her.' He thought.
"I don't care. I love Piper and I am not going to send her to someone who treats her like a piece of shit!" Cole said.
"You love her?" Leo said in disbelief. A demon was in love with his wife. "There is no way Piper would ever love you. She loves me."
Cole sighed. "She does love me. I don't care what you say."
Piper walked out into the living room with the white sheet from his bed wrapped around her body. Cole smiled when he saw her. "Who is it you're talking to?" She asked kissing his neck.
"Leo." He mouthed. He saw her eyes go wide. She grabbed the phone off of him and started talking to him.
"Leo! Leave me alone! Don't call here again and don't orb here. I don't love you anymore." She said angrily.
"I won't leave you alone. I will win you back; whether you like it or not." Leo hung up. Piper sighed as she set the phone back on the receiver.
"Are you ok?" Cole asked gently seeing the defeated look on her face.
"I don't know. Leo is scaring me. He is acting completely different. He isn't the same guy I knew. I am afraid of what he might do just to try and get me back. I'm afraid he might hurt you." She confessed.
Cole pulled her into his arms and she rested her head on his chest. "Leo can't hurt you. I'll make sure to that." He said. "I promise."
She smiled then kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Cole smiled. He loved hearing her say she loved him and he loved telling her he loved her. He then shimmered them back into the bedroom.
At the Manor
Phoebe was sitting at the table drinking her fourth cup of coffee. She had been up all night thinking about Piper and Cole. 'What is she thinking? How can she be with that demon?' Cole was supposed to be in love with her, not Piper! He always loved her and now he didn't. That bruised her ego a lot.
Paige was eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. She had to leave for her job soon. Phoebe was getting ready to leave to the Bay Mirror. She looked over at her sister and saw the distant look on her face.
"Phoebe, stop it worrying about Piper. I'm sure she is fine. She would have called if she wasn't." She said rolling her eyes at her sister.
"Aren't you the least bit worried about her? She was with Cole all night! What if he killed her..." Phoebe was cut off by her sister.
"Stop! Don't think like that. And yes, I am worried about her. There is nothing we can do about it though." She rationalized.
"We can tell her not to ever see Cole again and to stay with Leo!" She said. The caffeine was starting to sink in.
"We can't do that. She is going to be with him no matter what we say. We also can't tell her to stay with Leo. Do you not remember that he is always drunk and that he hits her?" She said.
"I know you're right but I don't want her to be with him. If only she stayed with Dan, none of this would have happened." She said.
"Who is Dan?" Paige asked.
"Piper's ex-boyfriend. She broke up with him to be with Leo. She really liked him too." Phoebe said remembering Dan and their relationship. "I actually helped her realized that she loved Leo." She said gloating a bit.
"Oh ok. Phoebe, Piper might of liked Dan but she loved Leo. She now likes Cole a lot. I don't know if she loves him. And if she does, then we have no choice but to support her." She said. She didn't like Cole when Phoebe was with him and she hated him even more now. If she had it her way, Cole would be dead for good.
"I know. This is making my head hurt. Let's just go to work now." She said grabbing her car keys and her purse. Paige grabbed her purse. Phoebe dropped her off at the office then drove herself to her job.
At the Penthouse
Piper looked over at Cole who was asleep. She smiled to herself then crawled out of bed. She went to the bathroom and turned on the water for the bath. She put in bubbles. She stepped in and let the water rush over her.
"May I join you?" Cole asked with a sly grin of his face.
"I thought you were asleep?" She asked.
"When you left I woke up." He said.
"You can come in." She said with a grin on her face. She moved up to give room for Cole. He sat behind her and put his arms around her. She leaned back on his chest.
"Piper, can I ask you something?" He asked her.
"Sure. What is it baby?" She asked looking at him.
"What made you come to the penthouse a few weeks ago, after we saw each other in P3?" He questioned.
She thought about that for a moment. "I just somehow knew that I could trust you. It's hard to explain. But for whatever reason it was, it brought me to you and now I'm in love with you." She said smiling.
"Perfect answer." He said leaning down and kissing her.
Later, Piper and Cole were cuddling on the sofa, watching old reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. They had ordered a pepperoni pizza. Piper's cell phone started buzzing. She went over to her purse and answered it.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Piper, this is Andy. I need your help." He said on the other line.
"Andy who? And why do you need my help?" She asked cautiously.
"Andy Trudeu. A darklighter is after me. I became a whitelighter. I don't know how to defeat it." He said.
"Oh my god. Andy? How? When? Why?" She started rambling. A million things were running though her head.
"There's no time for that. Can you help me?" He asked.
"Yeah, sure. Where are you at?" She said. He told her he was in the alley behind P3. She had Cole shimmer her there.
In The Alley
Andy was dodging the arrows as best as he could. He was becoming weaker though and he was starting to slow down. Just as the arrow was about to hit him it froze. Andy looked around and saw Piper standing there with some man.
"Andy, are you ok?" She asked hugging him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. How are you going to kill this thing?" He said motioning to the non-to-happy darklighter standing before them.
She tried blowing up the darklighter but it didn't work. Cole tried throwing energy balls at him but he dodged them.
"Balthazar, is that you?" The darklighter asked.
"Who wants to know?" He demanded.
"The entire underworld. Everyone has been hearing rumors that the infamous Balthazar is back. And it is true." He said. Piper noticed that the darklighter had dropped his bow on the ground. When he wasn't looking she picked it up.
"I can now have the pleasure of confirming the rumor." He said. Cole became angry and transformed into Balthazar. Piper quickly shot an arrow at the darklighter and he was engulfed in flames.
Balthazar turned back into Cole and collapsed to the ground. Piper caught him before he hit the ground.
"Cole, are you ok baby?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I think so. Becoming him again takes so much energy out of me." He said. Piper held Cole in her arms and turned to Andy.
"I better take Cole home. I hope I can see you again." She said.
"You betcha. You go take care of him. Just call me whenever you want." He said before orbing away.
Piper laid on Cole's chest. He ran his fingers through her hair and he took in her scent. She smelled like rain and heaven. She ran a hand over his chest. "This place, right now, it's perfect." She said sighing in content.
"It's like nothing else exists or matters when I'm with you or thinking about you." Cole admitted.
