The Truth About Cole
"Thank you so much for covering for me," Cole said.
Piper let out a sigh. She wanted him to say just once 'I love you, Piper.'
"What's the matter?" Cole asked.
"I didn't do it for you," Piper snapped as she got up and went to get the newspaper.
Cole looked confused.
"Are you hungry? I've made breakfast. Did you take the aspirin that I left you" Piper asked.
"Yes to all of that," Cole said.
Piper waited for Cole at the table. He sat down and helped him self to the pancakes. Piper sat across from him, sipping on orange juice as she pretended to read the paper. Piper was really looking at Cole. He seemed to be intent on eating, but Piper could feel some sort of emotion radiating from him. Was it love?
Cole helped him self to another pancake. He seemed to be aware of Piper's gaze at him. Cole looked up. Piper shifted her gaze back to the newspaper. Cole looked away from Piper as he got the syrup jug. His hands were shaking. Piper watched as his hands shook. Cole started to pour syrup on his pancakes, but his hands shook so badly that he poured more syrup than he needed. Cole suddenly slammed down the syrup jug, causing the syrup to spill. Piper looked at him sharply.
"I CAN"T STAND THIS ANYMORE!" Cole got up.
"Stand what?" Piper asked surprised.
"This. You and me," Cole said.
"What's there between you and me?" Piper asked puzzled.
"I love you, Piper. And it's tearing me apart to see what's going on here?" Cole walked over to Piper's side.
He said it, thought Piper. What should I say? Say I love you!
"What about Phoebe?" Piper choked out. Wrong thing to say!
"She just wants my money, but what I want is you," Cole kissed Piper.
Piper couldn't resist it. Cole pulled away.
"I want you, too. I love you, too," Piper breathed out.
Cole smiled as he kissed her again.
This is it! I couldn't ask for anything more. Not even Julian and Holly could amount to Cole and me, Piper thought.
