My Storybook Hero
For those of you who wanted to know, this story has no magic—except for the magic of love—involved.
Dinner?

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Piper got up.
Her coffee was all over her clothes. It was a good thing it didn't get on her laptop.
"I am so sorry," Cole looked embarrassed.
"No, it's not your fault," Piper said through gritted teeth. It was burning. She was fanning herself with napkins and a waiter quickly brought some more napkins.
"Hot! HOT!" Piper said to herself.
Cole was looking flustered.
The coffee on her clothes had cooled down, but Piper could still feel the burning.
Piper looked up at Cole. "What did you say your name was again? Julian?"
"No. It's Cole," he said.
"Really? Are you sure? You look so much like Julian," Piper said as she gathered her things.
"Really? Who's Julian?" Cole asked.
"Well, he's this character from the latest book I'm working on," Piper said as she got out her wallet to pay for her coffee.
"I look like him?" Cole asked.
"Yeah. Tall, dark, handsome. You kind of surprised me. I thought you were him and I was so surprised I spilled coffee on myself. You looked just like I imagined him to be," Piper then turned crimson after realizing she had told him he looked handsome.
Cole smiled. "Thanks."
Piper melted at that smile. He looked so much like the man from her book. Here he was real. It was no longer a dream. It was real.
Piper picked up her things. "I should get home and change. I've got to go turn in some stuff."
Cole nodded. "Yeah. Don't let me bother you."
Hardly, Piper thought. Cole looked so gorgeous. Piper didn't want to leave his presence, but she couldn't wander around town all day with coffee stained clothes.
"Wait! Can I have your autograph?" Cole asked.
Piper smiled and gave it to him. "Your a fan, huh?"
"Yeah, I love your books. They're so real and so good. It's too bad you can't find a lot of your type of books, nowadays. Your books are the only ones I ever read, besides law," Cole said.
"You're a lawyer?"
"Yeah."
"That's interesting. Well, bye," Piper said.
"Yeah, bye. It was nice to meet you," Cole said.
"Yeah, me too," Piper said.
Piper wanted to stay there forever looking into his deep blue eyes. He was Julian and she was Holly. The lovers who fell in love when they weren't supposed to. But now nothing was in their way. They could fall in love. There was a chance that they could.
Piper left, but her mind was still with Cole.
Cole watched Piper's form disappear as she turned the corner. I just met Piper Halliwell and damn is she fine! Cole thought.

Piper arrived at the office where she turned in her materials. She met her publisher's secretary in front of his office.
"Hey, Ally! Is Leo in?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, and he looks mighty hot, today," the redhead said fanning herself.
"So does he," Piper pointed out the window.
Ally followed her finger where a guy was washing the windows.
"You think? He washes windows," she said.
"You never know," Piper said. There was another storyline forming in her head.
Piper walked into the office. She had to admit Leo did look hot today. His hair was tousled and it looked sexy. His black shirt was unbuttoned at the top as if he was hot. He was looking at something on the computer. He didn't pay much attention to Piper.
"Just leave it on my desk," Leo said without looking up.
Piper left her stuff on the desk and turned to head out.
"Piper?" Leo called out.
Piper turned around.
"I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else," Leo got up and stood at the front of his desk.
Just then Ally came in. "Mr. Wyatt, you have a meeting at—am I interrupting something?"
Leo nodded.
"Oh well, I'll just tell you later," Ally backed out the door mouthing the words 'he's so hot' so that only Piper could see.
"What Leo?" Piper asked.
"I was just wondering if you weren't doing anything tonight, maybe you'd like to go to dinner?" Leo asked nervously smiling.
Normally, Piper would have said yes, but she had just met Cole, the man of her dreams. There was some potential there. She couldn't go out with Leo. What if it got serious? She couldn't be with Julian—Cole. What should she say? She'll just let him of slowly so he wouldn't get hurt.
"I can't Leo. I really need to work on my next chapter," Piper said. Wrong thing to say.
"Don't worry about that. I can push your deadline back," Leo smiled.
Piper slowly spoke the next words. "I really can't. Maybe some other time."
"Sure." Leo looked disappointed.
"I should go." Piper left. She felt really bad about saying that to Leo. She just met Cole. And she really wanted to get to know him better.
Piper walked out and said bye to Ally.
"Ohmigosh! Why didn't you go out with him?" Ally asked Piper.
"I—
"That's none of you business, Ally," Leo called from the doorway.
"Oh, sorry sir," Ally said embarrassed.
Piper left the building as fast as she could.
