Chapter 10

Wrong Impressions

"I love you"
The words echoed in Cole's mind like she was repeating them over and over again. He wanted to say that he loved her back, because he knew he had strong feelings for her, he watched Paige take a sip from her drink and knew that he wanted to say it more than anything, because he did love her, but he just couldnt bring himself to say it. He stroked her arm, feeling her move slightly under his fingers, she raised her head and looked at him smiling slightly, he smiled back and watched her move away from him and sit up. Paige brushed her jeans, there was nothing on them but she wanted to make it look like she was doing something, trying to show that she had gotten over what she had just said, but she hadnt in fact she couldnt stop thinking about it, Cole never said that he had loved her back and although she was sure it was too early to say it she felt disappointed that it seemed he didnt feel the same way. Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing, she picked it up and glanced at the caller id, it flashed Piper and she was glad for the interruption she looked at Cole,
"Wont be long hun" She answered the phone and got up walking to talk in private, Cole watched her as she paced talking on the phone, moving her arms to her body as she talked and discussed things with her sister. Cole smiled watching her, in his eyes everything about her was perfect so why couldnt he say the words 'I love you too'? Paige walked back to him quickly, falling gently onto the blanket
"Family emergency?" he predicted but Paige shook her head, "Demons want to attack?" Again Paige shook her head "Piper blew Leo up?" he mocked, Paige smiled before laughing slightly and shook her head again, "What then or is it top secret and only whitelighters and witches can know about it" Paige gathered the things on the blanket silently and then looked at him
"Piper wants us to all go for a family meal, to celebrate the fact we havent been beaten up, attacked or hurt by a demon in a while" Cole raised an eyebrow sarcastically and played with the blanket on the ground
"Dosent sound like Piper, but I wouldnt complain" He told her watching her put her hair behind her head tied up so that it wasnt in her face as much, she always hated when it fell in front of her eyes because it was always in the way, Cole has always found it cute and made her look more mysterious
"Me either, shes paying" Paige joked, Cole laughed gently placing a hand on her waist, Paige smiled and leaned forward and kissed his cheek "We are going around 6"
"So I have you a little longer then" Cole replied as he felt Paiges soft kiss still on his cheek, Paige lowered her eyebrows and nodded
"You have me all night" She told him, biting her bottom lip and moving closer to him and putting her hand on his chest
"Apart from when you go to your family dinner later" He watched her smile the corner of her lips lifting as she was amused by his comment, she gently unbuttoned the first few buttons on his shirt, Cole moved his hands under her top slowly
"Your family too hunny" she said, kissing him gently he kissed back and laid back on the blanket. He realised that this would be his and Paige's first time out together as a couple, in front of Phoebe, Piper and Leo but he knew that, he felt Paige running her hands through his hair after unbuttoning a few more buttons and knew that he was where he wanted to be,
"I love you" Cole paused pulling back from Paige, she looked at him confused she was happy where she was then and ran a finger down his chest, Cole shivered slightly, he liked the feel of Paiges hands on his chest, it made him know and feel that she trusted him
"Whats wrong?" she asked, her breath was slightly short and scattered, it was a known fact that you should breath during kissing, but when she was kissing Cole he always took hers away and made her lose her breath until they parted, a feeling she loved.
"I think that we should head back hun, I need to do something and once that is done then it'll be time for us to go" he explained partially it was a lie, but on the otherhand he did need to go to the underworld, apparently one had found out about Paige and Cole needed to make sure nobody else found out. She pouted making Cole smile and bring his finger to her lips, "Your cute when you do that" he complimented softly, trying to sit up but Paige kept on top of his body and didnt move,
"Why though I dont want to leave, this is such a gorgeous place, I mean its our own piece of paradise to ourselves" she complained, hesitating before she got off him and sat next to him, pulling at her top, Cole looked at her and smiled slowly amused by Paiges comment on having their own paradise
"This is our place ok, so we can come back another time, but you should go and get ready with your sisters and then I'll come and have dinner with you then we can go somewhere after that" He layed a hand on her shoulder, making a promise to Paige was another step in their ever changing relationship and she reluctantly nodded, shaking his hand off and standing up looking at him
"Come on then cowboy" she said holding her hand out, he took it and pulled himself up, Paige looked around her eyes scanning the blanket and other various things which were a sign that they had been there "What about all this?" she asked him as he held her hand lightly, Paige felt him stroke the top of her hand with his thumb, usually a comfort thing he shrugged at the question
"Ill sort it later" He replied, as Paige moved towards him and fastened his shirt smiling, she nodded in agreement and Cole wrapped his arms around her before shimmering them both out to the manor. They shimmered into the manor just as Phoebe was walking down the stairs, she saw them for the first time as a couple together, Coles arms were tight around Paiges body she was close to him, almost pressed against him Phoebe remembered when her and Cole used to be like that, so close almost inseperable, she watched as Cole untwined his arms from around Paige and pulled them to his side, she reminiced on how alone she would feel when Cole wasnt there to wrap his arms around her and comfort her late at night or hug her tenderly during a film which made her cry, she knew she shouldnt be thinking these types of things because she knew deep down that no matter how much love her and Cole once had they just were not meant to be together. Watching him with someone new so soon after splitting was hard, once love has hit you and once love has left you in such a way its hard to get over it, and watch the person that you gave your heart and soul to carry on and move on with their life is a hard thing to deal with. Phoebe took a deep breath and gave the couple and impish grin that showed she wasnt fazed by their actions, prompting Cole to move his arm around Paige's shoulders
"You both look like you've had a good time" Phoebe commented, noting the smiles on both Paige and Cole's faces "Go anywhere nice?" Paige nodded, brushing her t-shirt from creases
"Just a small beach I found" Cole told Phoebe, it didnt come as a suprise to her Cole would often take her to places on the spur of the moment like a beach or a lonely grassy area where they could be alone and spend time with one another alone without having to worry about demons or how people thought their relationship wouldnt last, it would just be them and it felt as though they were the only two people in the world and if they had to they could take anything on
"Sounds nice" Phoebe said quietly she looked at Cole as he turned looking back at her, he knew what she was thinking because it was something he used to do with her when the pressure of being a super-witch and a exiled demon got to them, Paige saw the look between them and a bitter sting of jealousy made itself present in her stomach she moved her hand in front of herself and held it there almost as protection from the feeling that was fighting inside her, watching Phoebe and Cole, the ex lovers, was painful she knew how much they were once in love and how hard they fought to be together and now it seemed that Paige was a contributer to them not being together, it seemed like she was a third wheel with them even though she was the one who was a couple with Cole,
"Cole dont you have to go soon?" Paige asked, she knew the only reason she was doing it was because she was jealous of Phoebe and Cole being there in the same room looking at each other like that, as though they had a secret, she knew she was being paranoid but she was with Cole not Phoebe, he smiled as he turned to her
"Sounds like you want to get rid of me" He said raising an eyebrow, he knew it wasnt true but he found it fun to tease Paige, she was so easy to tease because she was young and carefree and she took somethings seriously, but that was something that attracted Cole to her, the fact she could be fun-loving and up for having a good time and then she could be serious and have a real conversation with him without any type of jokes.
"No..I..You said you had to go when we were leaving" Paige didnt want him to think that she wanted him to leave, in a way she did but she also wanted him to stay and show her that she had nothing to be jealous of between him and Phoebe, she saw him start to smile "Your teasing me arnt you?" he laughed slightly and nodded
"Sorry. Yeah I do have to go but I just wanted to stay with you for a while" He looked her in her eyes as he said it and she knew he meant what he was saying and she smiled,
"Alright then" she agreed "Me and Phoebe need to get ready anyway dont we? For later tonight?" She said, hoping that Phoebe would want to continue bonding with her whilst they got changed into clothes and argued over whose 'Number 7' lipstick it was like teenagers, she felt relieved when Phoebe nodded
"Yeah we do, and Piper is upstairs cleaning the attic so as soon as Cole goes we can start getting ready" She replied holding out her hand, Paige smiled gently and took it, happy that she finally knew her sister was accepting who she was with, even if she still did feel envious of Phoebe and Cole,
"That makes it my cue to say I have to go" Cole said from where he was stood, he had been with Phoebe long enough to realise when she wanted him to go and when she wanted him to stay, Paige turned to him and smiled,
"Yes it is" She told him, she let go of Phoebes hand unaware of the groaned sigh her sister gave out as Paige hugged Cole "I'll see you later yeah?" She gently pulled away from him and ran her finger down the arm of his shirt, it felt soft under her skin
"Hopefully, and then we can make a night of it" He momenterally forgot about Phoebe being in the room and grabbed Paige's top gently and pulled her closer, Paige smiled as she took the small steps towards him, and knew that it was her Cole wanted not Phoebe, Cole remembered Phoebe was in the room and instead of kissing her he moved his lips near her ear "But we can discuss tonight later" he whispered close to her, the feeling of jealousy was taken over by the feeling of love again as Cole made her feel wanted, she pushed him away with both hands slowly as a smile played on his lips
"Maybe" She teased "But right now I want to have some quality time with my sisters" he nodded understanding what she meant,
"Then I'll see you hun" He turned to Phoebe "Talk to you both tonight" Both the sisters issued a quick goodbye before Cole shimmered out leaving the room to the two women. Paige looked at her older sister who still had a weak smile on her face, again she felt jealous, she could see what Cole saw in her before she was funny, independant, strong-willed and so many other things that she wasnt which made her often wonder why Cole was with her and not somebody else like Phoebe, she removed the thoughts from her head as she went to Phoebe,
"Shall we get changed into our good clothes then?" She asked her carefully, making sure that Phoebe wasnt just putting on a show in front of Cole that she wanted to spend time with Paige,
"As long as you dont wear the same colours as me" Phoebe said grabbing her hand and starting to walk upstairs. Paige walked with her and detatched from her as they both went seperate ways to their bedrooms, she was finally sure that Phoebe had accepted her being with Cole.

Cole wandered the underworld his thoughts still playing on Paige saying that she loved him, he realised he needed a good time to say that he loved her back but with such a messy breakup with Phoebe he was slightly afraid that it would be that way with Paige, he planned to say it when she would know that he was being honest he hoped to say it tonight, in a way he hoped that would help secure his relationshop with her. He rounded a corner his actions ready for the demon which lay ahead of him, this demon knew that Cole was with Paige, how he found out Cole didnt know and he didnt care he was the only demon in the underworld apart from himself who knew about Paige and he needed to be killed before someone else found out and Cole or Paige were killed. He saw the demon and formed an energyball, he raised his arm to throw it but the demon turned around quickly catching Cole off guard hitting him hard in his stomach, it threw Cole off balance and he stumbled backwards knocking the energyball out of his hand leaving Cole defenceless, the demon approached him slowly
"Its a good job you have a whitelighter girlfriend Cole" The demon grunted, his voice was rough and his face rougher. He was dark and his arms held tribal marks from his clan and the scores of countless innocents and other demons he had killed, Cole tried to regain his breath as he felt the demon push his at chest and held him against the wall "She can only really be killed by a darklighter, and one of my favourite demons to send out and kill people is a darklighter" The demons eyes flickered with joy as he saw Cole become fearful that he would send someone after Paige "And once you're out of the way it wont be hard to kill her, so let me say thank you for bedding a whitelighter it will make my day fun to say I killed both you and her in the same day" Cole felt the anger build up inside him and he pulled an athame from the demons side belt, he stabbed the demon with a force he didnt know he had. The demons face twisted into agony before he was vanquished in front of Cole's eyes, he knew it wasnt in the nature of a good person to kill, but he couldnt risk Paige being hurt and now that the demon was out of the way there was no risk of that, that would be his last kill Cole decided if he was to prove he was good he couldnt kill anymore people or demons and become a fully good person, he knew it would be hard but he realised that Paige was worth it.

At the resturaunt Piper, Phoebe and Leo were sat around the table, Phoebe was sat with Piper and she was laughing genuinly at a joke Leo had told a few minutes before. Paige and Cole wernt at the table, they were still back at the manor since Cole had arrived just as they were leaving, he was covered in filth and breathless from a fight he had been in, his face was cut and his clothes slightly ripped and he had insisted he was fine but Paige knew better and told her sisters she would catch them up as soon as she had sorted Cole out.
"So anyway how long do you think those two will be?" Leo asked, he held the menu in front of him but he still looked over at Piper and Phoebe waiting for an answer, Phoebe shrugged slightly distracted by a waiter that was making his way to their table, she had put the past behind her and now was hoping to move forward with her life, Piper looked up
"I dont know, as soon as Cole is ready I guess, he looked a bit beaten didnt he" She said reaching for the glass of water that was in front of her, Leo nodded
"Hope he's alright, dont want anything to spoil this dinner" Phoebe spoke, making Piper jump lightly, Phoebe hadnt spokent much since they had been there and when she did it came as a shock to Piper, Leo laughed slightly at the reaction of his wife
"Im sure he's fine" Leo replied a smile still on his face "Paige will be looking after him" The sisters agreed with Leo by nodding their heads. As he spoke them words he saw them enter the returaunt, their eyes scanning for the table Cole saw them first and guided him and Paige to the table, they sat down where they had to sit and gave a warm smile to each person on the table, Piper looked up and couldnt help the small laugh that came from her mouth, it was obvious that they had been doing something else than getting just dressed to arrive, Cole had some lipstick on his bottom lip and Paige's face was quite flustered Cole looked over at Piper who signalled by wiping her own bottom lip that there was lipstick there, Cole smiled slightly and wiped his lip glancing quickly at Paige, who was trying to lessen the red in her face by breathing deeply and drinking some water out of Phoebes glass,
"So, shall we eat?" Phoebe said, obviously choosing not to notice the signs that Cole and Paige had been making out back at the manor, resulting them in being late. They all agreed, and soon enough the family were sat around the table eating and laughing and joking with one another. Paige finally felt as though her and Cole had been accepted even if their relationship wasnt exactly on the best level to work with. As soon as the meal was finished they all decided to leave the resturaunt and go to P3 for a few drinks, to finish the night off properly. With Piper being the owner of the club, the five of them sat in the VIP area with their drinks, a song played out from the speakers making Paige smile, she turned to Cole,
"Baby, come dance with me?" She asked, Cole laughed gently shaking his head, Paige put on a saddened face "Please?" she begged
"No I dont dance" He told her, slightly amused by the face she was pulling Phoebe and Piper smiled at their baby sister trying to convince Cole Turner to dance with her, even if Paige was very stubborn Cole was too and it was a clash against who would crack first, Paige put her drink down and moved her hand to his leg
"Why? It's fun come on" She flashed him her sexiest smile, Cole could definatly tell that Paige was the youngest Charmed One she had so much energy and so much fun inside her, she wanted to dance with him and she wasnt going to take no as an answer
"Tomorrow...Promise" Cole smiled back, he knew if he said that Paige would give in, but she would keep asking him tomorrow to dance with her, she wrinkled her nose gently and rolled her eyes,
"Fine" She gave in, and picked her drink up again and raised the straw to her mouth. Cole smiled and looked over at Phoebe, who seemed to be in her own little world, he wasnt sure if it was because him and Paige were flaunting their relationship in front of her eyes or because she had other things on her mind, either way Cole decided not to interrupt her.

Phoebe sat on the couch in the manor the next day, with a book in her hands. She read the novel page for page and was starting to get into it when Cole shimmered in front of her, her eyes were still on the page she was reading when Cole let out a low cough, expecting to be alone Phoebe was shocked and dropped the book, she looked up at Cole stood in front of her and gave him a pair of playful evil eyes, his face cracked into a smile as he sat down on the couch next to her,
"Hey" Phoebe said, in a friendly manner "What are you doing here? Paige has gone doing some errands" she explained, thinking the obvious that Cole came to pick her sister up and take her out,
"Im not here for Paige, well I am, but I want to ask you something first" Cole told her, Phoebe took her glasses off and looked at him
"What?" She asked him not sure what he wanted, she had a bad feeling at first but realised that it wouldnt be something serious since Cole looked relaxed and he didnt like asking Phoebe for help with demons, Cole put his hands on leg and laughed slightly as he realised what he was asking
"I need to dance with you to learn a few steps before Paige gets home" He said waiting for Phoebes reaction, she tried to keep a straight face but she was failing desperatly, Cole looked slightly embarresed so she nodded in agreement and got up going to the CD player and putting a song on,
"Alright then, come here" She said holding out her hand to Cole, he paused before getting up and taking her hand,
"Thanks Pheebs" He said as she let go of his hand again and changed the tracks on the CD,
"No problem but we have to um..get closer Cole" Phoebe said taking his hand and putting her arm around him, Cole obliged and pulled her closer to her body, he felt her flinch slightly and saw her look up at him "Just move with me and to the music" he nodded slightly as the music played, he moved with Phoebe to it. After several tries he mastered the steps, and was dancing with Phoebe around the room, he took her hand and pushed her away from him, spinning her gently, she fell back towards him landing on his chest laughing slightly,
"Hey I'm getting better" he smiled, Phoebe looked up at him still laughing quietly he looked back his glance catching hers, before she could stop herself she didnt know what she was saying
"I dont regret us you know" She breathed realising what she had said but she was glad she had told him, slowly he took his hand away from hers
"Phoebe" he started but she moved away from him and turned facing him, putting her hand on his chest
"I regret what happened to us, but not our relationship" she admitted, Cole smiled weakly it was good to know that everything that they had been through wasnt a waste
"Yeah I know what you mean Pheebs I feel the same" He replied softly, it was always different feeling when he was around Phoebe, sure he was with Paige and he wanted to stay with her forever, but there would always be a small flicker he held inside for Phoebe, afterall she was the one that showed him what it was to be human, to love. Paige orbed into the kitchen shaking her wet hair, orbing outside when it was raining was the best idea but she needed to get to the bank quickly, she made her way slowly to the livingroom and saw Phoebe and Cole, although she couldnt hear what they were saying she watched them from where she was,
"Glad we are still friends Cole" She slowly moved away from his chest and looked him in the eyes "Dont hurt Paige" Her tone was serious but quiet, Cole nodded
"I never would" He said truthfully, Phoebe smiled and gently moved higher and kissed his cheek. Paige watched and she felt the harsh sting of tears in her eyes, jealousy raised its ugly head and she couldnt help what she was feeling and walked into the livingroom
"So when I'm not around you go to Phoebe?" She spat at him, Phoebe quickly let got of Cole and he span around his face covered with confusion,
"Paige what are you talking about?" He walked towards her and saw the tears that were clouded over her eyes "Hunny whats wrong?" he was confused, and wanted to know what was wrong with Paige he hated to see her like this,
"You and Phoebe, I've just been watching you, you want to get back together with each other" She accused angrily, she wasnt normally such a jealous person but she didnt want to lose Cole to Phoebe, she loved him and she wanted to hold onto that, Phoebes eyes widened as she heard Paige
"Thats not true" she said as gently as she could, she needed to calm her little sister down before she ruined her relationship with Cole, she didnt like how she found out about them but she had not seem Paige so happy in a long time and if Cole caused that happiness then she wanted her sister to keep it,
"How can I believe you?" Paige snapped her eyes darting between Phoebe and Cole, Phoebe opened her mouth but she didnt have an answer, she didnt know what to say to calm Paige down because she knew what it may have looked like to her
"Because I love you" Cole said gently, Paige felt her heart skip a beat as she turned to Cole, his face was serious and she knew he was being truthful "And I would never want to hurt you" All Paige's anger left her body as she walked to Cole and wrapped her arms around him and cried silently, Phoebe watched although it was hard to hear Cole say that she was also happy that he had admitted it to her and that they could start a relationship where they both knew what feelings were there, she quietly walked out of the room leaving them alone
"Im sorry" she confessed as she kept her grip on him,
"Dont be" Cole said, he was happy that Paige believed him, but he needed to be alone with her now and shimmered them both upstairs to her bedroom.
