It started raining while Piper was in the park. Leo had left a while ago
but Piper stayed to think and to be on her own for a bit. She stood up from
the bench and let the rain wash over her. She closed her eyes and for the
first time that day, she felt happy.
She stayed for few more hours before deciding to head home. One her way home, she made a pit stop at Cole's. She opened the door and saw Phoebe telling Cole over and over she loved him.
She felt tears come to her eyes. "Phoebe? You love him?" She said barley over a whisper. Phoebe turned around and saw Piper standing in the entrance, soaking wet, with her hand still on the door knob.
"Piper, I'm sorry you heard that." She said. She wasn't sorry she told Cole. She was just sorry that Piper had heard her confess her feelings to him.
"I bet you think this is real funny. First Leo, now you want to take Cole from me now! Do you like seeing me this way?" She yelled at her sister. Phoebe didn't flinch.
"No, when Cole came back so did my feelings for him. I am still in love with him. I needed to tell him that."
"Did you even once think about my feelings? How I would feel? All you care about is precious Phoebe! She can't stand seeing someone else have what she wants!" Piper screamed. She had so much anger built up inside of her. She thought she had gotten rid of it when she asked Leo for the divorce but she was wrong. Now she was letting it all out on Phoebe.
"Piper, you know that's not true. I didn't want to hurt you. I knew how much you were already hurting and I thought telling you I loved Cole would make it worse." She said. She gave Piper a look that said: I am sorry. I didn't want you to know.
"Do you love her?" She asked quietly to Cole who had remained silent the whole time.
Cole stood up and walked toward Piper. He took her into his arms. "Phoebe loves me. I love you." He said planting a kiss on the top of her head.
Piper leaned into his embrace. "I asked Leo for a divorce." She told him.
"I'm glad. You deserve to be free from him." Cole said. Phoebe pulled her sister into the penthouse so she wasn't standing in the doorway. "I'm sorry about all of this." Phoebe said.
Phoebe said she was going to head down to P3. She left Piper and Cole alone.
Cole jumped up and sat and sat on the kitchen counter. Piper jumped up and sat beside him.
"I'm sorry." She said.
Cole was stunned by this. She didn't have anything to apologize for. "For what?" He asked.
"For the way I acted around you earlier. You were only trying to be there for me." She said.
Cole cupped her face with his hands. "I know what you're going through is tough. I don't blame you."
"Yeah well, I would be mad at me if I were you." She said, giggling a little.
"I'm not mad at you." He said smiling.
Piper leaned her head on Cole's shoulder. Cole wrapped his arm around her back. "Can you take me home so I can change?" She said referring to her soaked clothes. She was shivering from the water on her clothes and they were making her cold.
Cole jumped off the counter and grabbed Piper's hand, pulling her off also.
He started dragging towards his bedroom. "Where are you taking me?" She asked giggling.
He pushed her down on the bed. He went over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of gray sweat pants that were 2 times too big for Piper. He then pulled out a white hooded sweatshirt that was also 2 times too big for her. He handed the items to her.
"This way you won't have to go all the way home to change." He said.
Piper smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thanks Cole." She then looked uncomfortable. "Uhh...can you...so I can change?" She asked stumbling over her words. She didn't want Cole to get the impression that she didn't want him around. She just wasn't ready to jump back to where they were in their relationship.
Cole understood what she was trying to say and left her alone so she could change.
Piper came back out wearing Cole's clothes. "These are way too big on me, Cole." She complained. Cole smiled. "You look cute."
"Yeah, ok, whatever." She said smiling.
Piper looked at her watch and saw it 10:00. "Damn it, I should have been at the club two hours ago." She groaned.
"Do you have to go?"
"No, but my bartender, Tony, cleaned the club and opened it. I didn't want to leave all the work on him." She explained.
Piper called the club on her cell phone. Tony told her on the phone that she didn't have to worry about the club and that he would take care of it.
Piper yawned and stretched her arms out. "Are you tired?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, it's been a really long and hectic day." She said yawning again.
"You can sleep here tonight, if you want." He offered.
"Cole, I don't know..." He cut her off by saying he would sleep on the couch if it made her more comfortable.
Cole took her to the bedroom and helped her get comfortable. "Goodnight." He said kissing her lightly.
She kissed him back. "'Night." She soon fell asleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Cole woke up with a cramp in his neck from sleeping on the couch. He saw Piper was curled up on the other couch watching 'ER'. He smiled when he saw her. 'She always looks so beautiful.' He thought.
Piper looked over at Cole when she heard him groan. "Hey, you're up." She smiled. Are you ok?" She asked referring to his groan.
"Yeah, I just have this cramp in my neck." He said rubbing it. She got up from her spot on the couch and moved to the one Cole was on. She sat behind him and massaged his neck.
"How does your neck feel now?"
Cole moved his neck around. "It's feels a lot better. Thank you."
"No problem." She said. "Now if you don't mind, I want to finish watching my show." She said smiling.
"So the show is more important than me?" He asked playfully. He pretended to be hurt.
"Nope, just Dr. Ross and Dr. Carter." She said playfully. "That's the only reason I watch it, for them, my hot doctors." She teased.
He crawled on top of her and started tickling her. She wiggled underneath him. "Stop! I take it back." She said in-between laughs.
"Say 'Cole Turner is the hottest person ever!' or else." He said laughing.
"Will you stop tickling me then?" She asked trying her best to get out of his grasp.
"Maybe. Say it and you'll find out." He smiled trying to hold back his laughter.
"OK, OK. Cole Turner is the hottest person...ever!" She said laughing.
Cole stopped tickling her and stole a quick kiss from her.
She gathered her breath from laughing so much. "I don't like you anymore." She said in a pouty voice.
Cole smiled and laughed. "I love you, too!"
Phoebe walked into the manor. Her hair was a mess and her make-up was messed up. She saw Paige in the sunroom thinking intensely. Then every few minutes she would write something down.
"Hey Paige, what are you doing?" She asked sitting beside her.
"Trying to write a spell. It's not going very good so far." She said. She saw Phoebe's state. "What happened to you?"
"Never mind that. What are you writing a spell for?" Phoebe asked curiously.
"Vanquishing a whitelighter."
She stayed for few more hours before deciding to head home. One her way home, she made a pit stop at Cole's. She opened the door and saw Phoebe telling Cole over and over she loved him.
She felt tears come to her eyes. "Phoebe? You love him?" She said barley over a whisper. Phoebe turned around and saw Piper standing in the entrance, soaking wet, with her hand still on the door knob.
