Chapter 4

Tempted by the devil

Cole slowly made his way into the kitchen, when he walked in Piper was already sorting out the cups for the drinks, he looked at Paige but she had her back to him he went to the dining table and sat down next to Phoebe,
"Did you two get to business then?" Phoebe asked Paige and Cole not directly aiming the question at either of them, Paige's body stiffened as she turned around and looked at her sister 'Please don't let her know what happened' Paige thought to herself and she put on a smile,

"You mean the potions right?" She got the coffee and poured it into the cups, Phoebe nodded
"Obviously. I mean what else did you two do?" she smiled slightly, Paige didn't look up Phoebe moved her eyes to Cole who seemed to be looking out of the window "Okay…you two are hiding something I can tell" Cole snapped out of his daydream and looked at Phoebe
"Course not, I'm just tired" Phoebe didn't look convinced "We got everything sorted Phoebe, the potions are upstairs" Phoebe relaxed a little bit and smiled, she got up
"Well I'll go get the potions, save my coffee" she said walking out of the room, Piper watched her go
"Have you actually made her a coffee yet Paige?" Piper looked at her, Paige didn't reply "Paige hi anyone home?" Piper poked her sister gently and Paige looked up again
"Hmm?" Piper lifted her coffee cup "You want more coffee?"
"No. I was asking you did you make Phoebe one?" Piper's voice mocked "Paige are you okay, your not yourself" Paige glanced at Cole
"No I'm fine I'm just feeling a bit weird think I'm getting ill or something. Ignore me" she smiled slightly "I don't know what I'm even thinking today" Out of the corner of her eye she saw Cole look at her "Or what I'm saying"
"Okay then" She looked up and Leo who smiled slightly but with a slight part of guilt "No…Leo no they cant need you again" Leo shrugged
"Something must be going on up there I don't know, I'll be back as soon as I can I promise"
"Yeah" Leo lowered his head slightly and kissed her cheek before orbing out again, leaving Piper behind
"Don't ever get together with a white lighter" she told Paige and Cole "Either of you it's hard work"
"Don't plan to" Cole replied bluntly, he knew Paige was looking at him but he didn't make it clear that he knew, Phoebe walked back into the room quietly and placed the potions onto the counter "Anyway you and Leo are happy" he stated

"Yeah he's the best thing that's ever happened to me, but being with him is such hard work, we cant even have nights alone sometimes" Piper sighed "But I wouldn't change him don't get me wrong" Paige laughed from where she was stood,

"Your really helping my confidence for getting a bloke here Piper" Piper smiled

"Sorry hun its just…" Piper didn't get time to finish her sentence the demon they had been waiting for shimmered it "Just I never ever get time to finish sentences in this house" the demon turned to her a grin plastered on his face, Piper raised her hands to freeze him but to no avail
"You think your little freezing power is going to work witch…your wrong" the demon shot his hand out, firing a force at Piper that caused her to fly backwards into the wall he body fell to the floor, Paige quickly got into action
"potion" she called, orbing one into her hand she threw it at the demons feet causing a small explosion
"Oh come on" the demon mocked forming a energy-ball "That was lame" he threw the energy-ball at Paige but she called for it and threw it towards the wall, Phoebe grabbed two more potions and threw them at the demons back, he stumbled forward his face twisted into pain, he turned and saw Cole "Belthazor?" he questioned before the potion worked and he was vanquished. Phoebe ran to Pipers side and helped her sit up,
"Did we get him?" she looked around and moved her silky hair out of her face "Or do I have to fly into another wall anytime soon?" Phoebe laughed slightly and helped her up
"Yeah he's vanquished but there is something we want to ask you…well I want to ask" Phoebe beamed a smile at her sister
"What?" she asked dusting off the dirt from her trousers
"Want to have a night out at P3, all of us" she included Cole in her look and he nodded knowing she was basically asking him to join, Phoebe then moved her eyesight to Paige who also nodded in silent agreement finally she looked back at Piper "What do you think?" Piper smiled
"Fine we can use my club as a hangout" Phoebe clapped her hands childishly as Cole got up
"If you don't mind I'll meet you there later tonight around 8, I have to go somewhere now" Paige looked at him,
"Oh your coming tonight…with us…to P3 then?" her voice was scattered and shaky
"Yeah but right now I have to sort something's out, see you all later" before anyone of them could issue a goodbye he shimmered out. Each of the sisters looked at each other with grins on their faces, for the next hour they knew it would be fun and chaos getting ready; Phoebe linked with both her sisters and walked out of the room.

-That Night-

Paige was sat next to Piper her short black dress had attracted a range of male attention but she didn't really notice, her mind kept drifting back to earlier when she was in the attic with Cole, she picked up her glass half filled with mineral water and scanned the club she wasn't sure exactly who for but her brown eyes still searched. She looked at Piper who smiled at her slightly,
"Are you okay Paige" she said near her ear so she could be heard over the music "You seem distant" Paige shook her head
"I'm fine don't worry about it" she spoke loudly "Like I said I might be getting ill" Piper didn't look totally convinced but she nodded anyway and turned to Leo again, Paige sighed inwardly and looked up, she saw Cole approaching he held a drink in his hand and was dressed in a smart blue shirt with dark trousers, he made his way to their table and sat opposite Paige
"Sorry I'm late all, you know what its like sometimes" He was slightly out of breath but looked calm, Phoebe nodded slightly but Paige looked at him
"Cant say I know what its like actually, simply because of the fact I'm not a demon and don't waste my time killing people" she smirked and picked up her glass bringing it near her lips, Cole thought about arguing but he didn't want to, there was something different about it this time which he couldn't quite figure out, he shook his head.
"Well then sorry to disappoint you Cole but when you say your going to come at 8 and you don't arrive until 10 you cant spend much time with us" Piper smiled as Cole looked at her guiltily "I'm joking but me and Leo are going to go. I mean this place doesn't run itself now does it?" she stood up and grabbed her bag from the chair beside her, Leo stood up with her "Bye guys I'll see you all tomorrow" Piper walked off with Leo and went back home. The rest of the night consisted of drink and the usual banter between friends, Cole noticed some guys chatting to Phoebe and to be honest he did feel slightly jealous but not as much as he would have done a few months back, now it was more a protective jealousy one that he could control. Watching the men flirt with Phoebe was like watching men flirt with your best friend, he was looking out for her he didn't want to see her hurt again, he had given her enough pain already as it is. The rest of the night passed quickly, Cole had drunk a few drinks and felt okay he looked at Phoebe
"Hey I think I'm going to go home, I'm getting tired…thanks for inviting me out" Phoebe nodded as she finished the rest of her drink
"Okay night Cole" She replied turning back to some man she had been talking to for the night
"I'm going to go too" Paige piped up, she pulled her jacket over her shoulders and stood up "Best if I look good in the morning if I'm going to find a job don't you think" Phoebe nodded
"Alright then, tell Piper if you see her I will be home soon" Her back was still turned to them even though she was speaking to Paige. Cole got up to and turned to leave,
"Wait a minute Cole" He stopped and looked at her, she finished the rest of her drink and tucked some hair back behind her ear "I'll walk with you" Cole looked almost surprised for a moment the nodded in agreement, together they walked outside, the bitter chill hit them both and Paige shivered slightly "Well…Night Cole" she said before turning down a alley so she could orb to her warm bed, she turned around to make sure nobody could see but she saw Cole "What do you want?" she didn't mean for it to come out spiteful, but she was cold and hungry and didn't really care.
"I need to check something" He replied shortly she looked up at him patiently
"Well then…check" he seemed taken aback slightly by her forwardness but he guessed that she didn't really know what he was thinking, but he had to do this to make sure of his feelings and to make sure they were right, he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her "Cole…" she wanted to protest but she couldn't instead she found herself moving her arms around her neck and lowering his head. After what seemed like a lifetime their lips finally met, this time it was a lot more passionate than the attic kiss it was more freeing, Cole held her tighter as though she would slip away from him but the way she was holding onto him that wasn't very likely. He pulled away from her and looked into her eyes
"That's all I wanted to check" he said quietly, she looked back at him

"And what did you conclude?" she replied a small smile playing on her lips, Cole wasn't sure how to answer without making himself seem forward but he couldn't help himself.
"That I want you" he finally got out, Paige took a deep breath shocked by what he said she felt her heart skip a beat before she spoke again,
"Then why don't you come and get me then?" she questioned still staring at him, in reply Cole kissed her lightly again and kept his face close to hers,
"Only if you want the same" they both knew where this would lead, one night together now and a million secret meetings. Paige considered it for a while before she smiled again
"Yeah…I do" before he could reply Paige kissed him again, a kiss which stole the breath from Cole he closed his eyes and kissed back as Paige orbed them back to his bedroom where they sunk deep into the night together.
