Charmed: What The World Is Love?
It took a few days almost a week for Bianca to forgive Chris. Those days were horrible at least for Chris. She practically talked to everybody except Chris. She totally ignored him. If it weren't for Piper and Brian Bianca might never speak to Chris ever again. Paige has been busy at magic school and progress reports are almost due. She even had to work over time to try to get things done. Lately she has been really grumpy because not only magic school gave her a lot of work, but also Kyle felt so depressed for mistaken the avatars for killing his parents he broke up with Paige and left the town. He said that he needed time out, but the message was pretty obvious at least to Paige.
Phoebe and Piper tried to talk to Paige, but she flung herself at work. Phoebe herself wasn't too optimistic anyway. Phoebe like Paige flung herself to work lately. After what she witnessed from Kyle and Paige she decided that the Haillwells are cursed. She now believe she will never find love ever again. Piper again not only had to talk to Paige but Phoebe also. Brian returned to school except studying at grade twelve when he is only fifteen (Actually just turned fifteen).
It is now about one thirty in the afternoon. Phoebe, Paige are both gone from work and Brian for school leaving only Chris, Bianca and Piper. Piper is currently busy talking to the manager at P3 because she has to book a band tonight, so Chris and Bianca are given the responsibility of feeding the babies. Afterwards Piper hung up the phone.
Piper: Oh Bianca, I'm so glad you're here. With Phoebe, Paige and work! If you weren't here to help me out I would have gone nuts!
Chris: Mom! Hello I'm here too. I am helping you out.
Piper: Yeah only that Bianca and I have to clean up your mess.
Chris: (Embarrassed) Well at least I tried.
Piper: Anyway, I'm worried about Phoebe. Paige is getting better besides she didn't stick around with Kyle long enough anyway, but Phoebe seems to be giving up on love. Chris tell me. Is Phoebe going to be single in the future?
Bianca: She has a kid………… (Then stopped by Chris)
Chris: Bianca! Future consequences!
Bianca: Oh yeah sorry.
Piper: Chris really now. You have to stop stressing about things I mean can't you be more gentle to girls. I mean if you keep acting like that Bianca is going to leave you.
Chris: What! Act like what?
Piper: Like now. Duh! You're so stupid.
Chris: What!
Bianca: I know (Then both Piper and Bianca laughed and Chris was baffled)
At the Mirror (Phoebe's working place)
Phoebe is working hard as usual in her office trying to answer columns then she heard a knock and Elise (her boss) walked in to her room.
Phoebe: Elise! What's up?
Elise: Phoebe, I have something to tell you.
Phoebe: What? (Suspicious and worried)
Elise: I have to go to New York for about a few months, so I had another person in charge of this place. His name is Angel. He's a columnist himself and he might be editing your stuff too.
Phoebe: Whoa! Hold on there! It's a he and he's editing my stuff!
Elise: I said he might. Besides he has PhD in Psychology and he's a fan of yours.
Phoebe: Really? (Sound happy then snapped out of it) Wait but still!
Elise: Did I mention he's cute and hot? (Then she called Angel to come in)
Phoebe: Elise! There's no way I'm going to compromise….. Then Angel (starring David Borenaz) came in and Phoebe stopped talking and stared at the new guy with her eyes wide opened. (Whispering to Elise) You weren't kidding.
Elise: Told ya. (slapped Phoebe's bum) Have fun!
Phoebe: Wait! (Elise gave Angel a huge then left the room.)
There was an awkward moment since Phoebe and Angel didn't know each other. Angel stepped in and start a conversation.
Angel (smiled): I guess we haven't really been introduced. I'm Angel.
Phoebe: Well I'm Phoebe. (Shook hands)
Angel: Did I mention that I'm a fan of yours? Big time! I practically read your column everyday.
Phoebe: I'm flattered, but about editing my column is a no go no matter how cute you are.
Angel: Who saids I'm going to edit your column? I like it the way it is! It's inspirational.
Phoebe: Oh really (Blushing) Thanks.
Angel: Hey you want to have lunch or something later? Sort of a welcome for work thing?
Phoebe: (Without thinking) Sure! Of course I'll love to (Starts babbling)
Angel: I'll see you later then.
Phoebe: Yeah! Later.
Manor (7:00 p.m.)
Phoebe returned home and she walked into the living room with joy.
Piper: Phoebe? What's going on today?
Phoebe: What do you mean?
Piper (Serving Dinner): Well you seemed a bit happy and that's a bit awkward.
Phoebe: What do you mean awkward? I'm always like this.
Piper: Yeah right. You've been like giving up on love for the past few weeks.
(Brian ran to the table and sat down when everyone else except Leo and Paige are seated. Both Leo and Paige had to work.)
Brian: Phoebe! How's the date?
Chris and Piper: Date? What date?
Phoebe: What date? (Blushing)
Brian: Oh please that guy! Angel !
Phoebe (Blushing): It's not a date. I mean he just came today. And Elise well it's kinda weird though but….. (talking nonsense)
Brian: What do you think about him? I mean even as a guy I think he's definitely hot.
Phoebe: He is damn hot! (Excited. Piper, Chris and Bianca are stunned and puzzled)
Piper: Okay! A little clarification here. Phoebe?
Phoebe: Oh it's embarrassing. You tell them Brian.
Chris: Oh gosh! She actually feels embarrassed. I haven't seen that since forever.
Bianca: Let me guess Brian you got that from a vision?
Brian: Well yeah. I was in history class and then I saw Phoebe has a new boss and he's called Angel.
Chris: Oooooo. Angel! (Whistled)
Piper: Is he such an angel?
Phoebe: He's hot! (Then embarrassed)
Brian: Anyway Phoebe's all over him and I think he's all over Phoebe too.
Phoebe: I am not!
Piper: Please you are.
Phoebe: Well it was just a friendly lunch. You can't call it a date.
Brian: You know so many girls in the office she could have asked for lunch and he had to ask you for some reason. There has to be some reason right?
After dinner Phoebe went back to her room because Angel called to discuss about work, which is only an excuse to talk to Phoebe. Brian went back to his room and start doing his homework and talking to Chris at the same time, while Piper and Bianca are washing the dishes.
Brian: Well! Spill it.
Chris (Puzzled): Spill what?
Brian: About your relationship status with Bianca?
Chris: What about us?
Brian: You are in denial. It's obvious that you are not into Bianca like before. I think there's something wrong. My teacher. Miss Langley? You kinda have a crush on her do you?
Chris: (Blushing): NO! Of course not! You know I love Bianca. I will never ever cheat on her!
Brian: I'm just saying. I mean you've been picking me up after school almost everyday and I've been hearing you guys' conversations. It's pretty obvious that she's checking you out. Besides, she young, pretty and very talented who wouldn't have a crush on her.
Chris: (Feeling annoyed): For the last time. My love for Bianca will never change no matter what. I'm out of here. (Orbed to the attic)
Though Chris told Brian with full confidence back in Brian's room that his love for Bianca will never change, but once he was out of that room he doubted of what he said. Most of the things that Brian said were true. He did feel that he and Miss Langley (Sarah) have a connection when they first met. He know that Sarah is checking him out and for some reason he's not resisting. He also realized that his feelings for Bianca are starting to fade out and getting more confused. He felt disgusted and full of hatred of himself. He thought how could he like another girl? Bianca and him were together since 17 and Bianca almost died for him once. She was the popular girl in school and amongst other normal, handsome and talented guys she picked him and stuck with him. She was there whenever he needed help. He was there to comfort him to encourage him when he was down, depressed and the time the he found out about his family in the future. Then he finally decided that he will never speak or talk to Sarah (Miss Langley). He knew he has to be loyal to Bianca, even if those are his true feelings towards Sarah.
Next day everything is like the way they were yesterday. Phoebe and Paige are at work and Brian's at school. Chris is trying to find out the new power. Bianca is helping Piper as usual because the elders are having a meeting with Leo.
Phoebe's workplace.
Phoebe is working hard as usual with her columns and Angel often finds excuses and come into her room.
3:30 pm at Brian's high school.
Chris got there to pick Brian up and he decided that he will not talk to Miss Langley and will reject her if she really likes him. He got to Brian's classroom and wait for Brian as usual. Brian is talking to other seniors (mostly girls). For some reason being a fifteen year old kid in a senior class made him popular. Also because of his gift of fortune telling his popularity even rose and most girls would ask him advices for dating guys. Guys would ask him for homework help, so Brian fit in pretty well. Brian spotted Chris and signaled the he'll be there in a minute. Then Miss Langley walks out of the class towards Chris. She is no doubt young and pretty. She smiled at Chris and said: "Are you picking up Brian?"
Chris: Yah (nervous) Miss Langley.
Miss Langley: Please! Stop calling me that. Just Sarah. It's okay. I mean we're pretty much the same age anyway.
Chris: Not really (Said silently)
Sarah: What?
Chris: Never mind.
Sarah: You don't always have to come and pick up Brian you know. For a fifteen year old he's quite mature and intelligent. I think he'll be fine on his own. Well I was kinda worried about him, but he seems to fit in quite well.
Chris: He's a bit special.
Sarah: He's you cousin right?
Chris: Yeah! He is very mature.
Sarah: Anyway you've got to let him grow up. I think he's capable to walk himself back home. If you think he's mature and smart enough is there another reason of why you're always picking him up?
Chris knew she would say something like that. He knew perfectly that he's in trouble. Sarah obviously wanted Chris to tell her that he came all the way to school was to see her and that is mostly true. He can't deny his feelings towards Sarah and they both know that they have feelings towards each other. Then he thought of Bianca. She's now at the manor waiting for him and helping him to find the new power every single day without any complaints. He knew he love her, so he couldn't fall in love with Sarah. Then Sarah approaches not wanting to ruin this moment, she attempted to kiss Chris. Chris was frozen. His instincts tell him to run, leave and tell her that he doesn't like her, but he couldn't. It seems like someone put a spell on him to make him immobile. Just when Sarah got close to him Brian ran out immediately and wrapped himself to Chris' waist.
Brian: Chris! You're waiting for me?
Chris (Snapped out of his trance and looked at Brian. It was really close. If Brian didn't stop Sarah for even one second they could have kissed and that could be the end of Chris and Bianca's relationship.) Yeah lets go.
Sarah (Miss Langley) embarrassed and disappointed waved them goodbye and immediately went back into the classroom to her seat.
Brian: What the hell were you thinking?
Chris: Thinking of what? I was waiting for you!
Brian: Oh drop it! If I didn't stop her you guys would have kissed and you would have fallen in love with her. I had that vision that you guys were kissing like 10 seconds before. I mean what's going on with you lately. (Walked to the boys bathroom with Chris and orbed back to the manor)
Manor (attic)
Brian sat on the couch: Well?
Chris: I don't know okay! I mean we just……
Brian: Have feelings towards each other?
Chris: Yeah pretty much.
Brian: What about Bianca? So you don't love Bianca anymore?
Chris: No I love her!
Brian: Do you? You have to be sure on this. You can't reason with love. If you don't like Bianca anymore then you don't. You can't force yourself.
Chris: What so you're suggesting me to dump Bianca and go for Sarah?
Brian: No! First of all that would be stupid because I kinda stopped her kissing you. (Took a deep breath) What I'm trying to say is that you need to get your feelings straight and fast. It's not fair to Bianca. In my opinion, I think you should tell Bianca if you don't like her.
Chris: No way she'll go crazy. Besides I do love her!
Brian: Seriously stop lying to yourself. Just thinking about it you think it's better she found out from you or found out by seeing you and Miss Langley kissing at the school's corridor?
Chris: No! (troubled) Oh I don't know!
Brian: I'm just saying. The main thing is you have to figure out whom you like. If your heart is really to Bianca then you have to tell Miss Langley and she can move on. Geez. I can't believe I have to tell you this and I'm fifteen. (Then he turned his head and realized Bianca is at the door and heard every single word of their conversation. Her eyes were red and there are tears in her eyes. Before Chris could say anything she ran away.)
Chris: Oh no! (Covering his face, then he chased after Bianca. He wasn't as fast as Bianca she ran to the door and left the manor. She shut door with a loud bang and hit Chris in the face. Piper ran out of the kitchen to see what was happening and demand an explanation from Chris.)
Piper: Well? What happened. Why was Bianca crying?
Chris: It's complicated.
Brian: No it's not. She overheard our conversation about Chris having a crush on my teacher.
Chris: Brian shut up! Thanks for telling the whole world!
It was at 7:00 pm. Angel asked Phoebe for dinner and drove to a restaurant nearby. After dinner Angel drove her home back to the manor.
Phoebe: You don't have to treat me dinner. You treated lunch last time.
Angel: Hey if I don't take you out for dinner other men would.
Phoebe: (Blush) I'm flattered. Thanks for everything.
Angel: You're welcome. I guess this is it.
Phoebe: Yeah I'm home. (Without thinking Phoebe kissed Angel in the lips and ran back to the manor)
