Disclaimer I don't own Charmed, if I did I would play Phoebe and Alyssa Milano would be shining my shoes.

Chapter 19

Got my man.

Cole felt his heart pound faster and faster, the hand which he held the box in shook as though a surge of electricity had been pushed through it and he knew he looked nervous. Paige had been quiet for at least 2 minutes but to Cole it felt like hours. Paige stared down at the sparkling ring that shone back at her, her breath shuddered as she let it out and her stomach knotted so tight she thought she was going to faint. Cole Turner, her boyfriend was asking her to marry him. Only a few years ago she wanted to vanquish him and now she was on the verge of jumping into his arms.

"I…of…yes I'll marry you" She stuttered not sure how to say her words, Cole looked stunned for a moment before his face light up and he smiled widely.

"Really?" He asked. Dumb question he thought but still worth asking, Paige let out a noise between a laugh and a sob and nodded intently

"God Cole…of course" She cried, Cole got up from where he was knelt and threw his arms around Paige, the force of his action caused them both to fall back onto the bed. Cole laughed gently as he looked down at Paige, carefully he moved his arms from around her body and laid on his side next to her, Paige smiled at him as he took her hand and slid the small ring onto her finger Paige was doing all she could to try and not shake but it wasn't working. Cole brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it tenderly,

"Do you realise how happy you have just made me?" He asked behind a grin which didn't seem to move, Paige took her hand from his and placed it on his cheek, she let her thumb stroke it gently and she looked into his eyes

"If your as happy as I am right now I think I know" She told him quietly, Cole turned his head and kissed the inside of her palm, Paige watched him "Though you can always show me" She teased seductively biting her lip. Cole moved his deep blue eyes back to her and smiled, he ran his hand down to her waist and pushed her gently onto her back moving on top of her slowly

"Maybe I'll do just that" He replied, he lowered his head and kissed her gently at first but deepening it and making it more passionate. Paige returned his kisses and ran her hands down his back, making her way to the top of his trousers and hooking her fingers over the rim. Cole let his hand wander back up her body, cascading it over her stomach and moving it up past her breasts and letting it rest on her cheek after teasing her neck with his fingers. Paige raised her hips to his and moved slowly, grinding against him in an action that made him push against her, telling her he wanted her with unspoken words. Before Paige had started to unbuckle his belt the bedroom door opened with a swift movement and Leo walked into the room,

"Oh my…I'm so sorry" He called, Paige quickly realised they weren't alone and pushed Cole off of her, much against Cole's wishes. Paige's face flamed a deep red colour as embarrassment crept over her and she coughed slightly trying to get her voice.

"L-Leo what's up bro?" She asked, trying to keep the conversation casual but only getting a sideways glance from Cole.

"Um Ben's woke up and Piper told me to come and tell you that he's your son you sort it…if your feeling better about whatever it was that upset you…and well you look okay" Leo wasn't good in these types of situations, and told them what he was meant to before taking a few awkward steps out of the room

"I'll be down in 5" She called after him, Leo said a quick okay from outside the now closed door and made his way downstairs. Paige turned her focus back to Cole who ran his hand through his hair

"I'm good Paige, but even I can't finish in 5 minutes" He laughed gently, Paige hit his arm playfully and gave him a mock smile

"We can finish what we started tonight" She said getting up "Right now I have another male who wants my attention" Cole rolled his eyes and pushed his legs off of the bed and looked at Paige.
"Come on then" He said, he wanted her so bad but he realised the temptation would just have to wait.

Piper giggled gently as she put the finishing touches to the salad, Leo's mischievous hands played with the front of her blouse. Paige walked in after finally getting Ben to go to sleep, it had taken her and Cole half-an-hour to even get him to close his eyes, but finally the soft music of his music box soothed him. Piper looked up at Paige and smiled slightly, she looked worn out. Ben was usually a good sleeper but it was during the day he decided he wasn't tired and pushed Paige to the brink.

"Where's Cole? Dinner will be ready shortly" Piper asked pushing Leo's hands away and picking up a cloth.

"With Ben he wanted to watch him sleep" She replied absentmindedly. She played with the ring on her finger, and hardly noticed when Phoebe and Cole walked in mid-conversation.

"Speak of the devil" Leo said making his way to the table with the cutlery Piper had put in his hands, Cole looked up

"Who me?" He asked. Piper smiled and nodded,

"Put the plates on the table Cole, if your going to be staying here you can help out like the rest of us" She told him, motioning with her hands. Cole looked to Paige for help but she seemed to be in another world as she sat down at the table, he looked at her for a second longer and he went to the cupboard taking out the plates. "Thank you" Piper said appreciatively, she picked up the salad bowl and took it to the table; Cole walked behind her and put the plates down.

"Baby are you okay?" he asked softly taking place next to her at the table, Phoebe sat down followed by Piper and Leo but he didn't get a response. "Earth to Paige what's wrong?" he placed his warm hand on her shoulder and felt her jump slightly under his touch.

"I still can't believe you asked me to marry you" Paige said in a voice which seemed distant, she turned her head to Cole. To her being engaged felt like a dream something she, at this moment in time, didn't want to end, Paige finally clicked as she looked around at the shocked faces of her family "I mean…me…"

"You're engaged? Phoebe asked a wide grin on her face, Cole looked at Phoebe then Piper and Leo who both looked at them smiling,
"If so that's great" Piper finished for Phoebe, relived that nobody was angry or upset or in any other manner opposed to their engagement Paige and Cole nodded. "The ring Paige let us see the ring" Paige gave Cole a look which read 'here we go' and held her hand out across the table, Phoebe took her hand gently and her and Piper looked down at it.
"That's one nice ring sis." Phoebe said, awed. "I thought mine was nice…" She trailed off hoping she didn't put her foot in it,
"Congratulations both of you" Leo saved, Phoebe looked at him and gave him a friendly smile before looking at her baby sister again

"Yeah. So who's going to be your bridesmaids?" Piper asked hitting Phoebes hand lightly so she would let go of Paige's hand, Paige took her hand back glancing at her ring as she did so before looking at Cole and shrugging

"I was thinking about these two girls I used to work with" She smiled before looking at her sisters, who both seemed to be taking her seriously "Are you two really that slow?" She asked raising an eyebrow, Cole laughed gently as Piper broke a piece of bread off from her plate and threw it at Paige "Hey!"

"Just because you teased us like that I'm not catering" She huffed playfully, Leo and Cole looked at her as Phoebe smiled,
"Were getting caterers" Paige said, Piper looked up almost horrified at the concept she wouldn't get to put her culinary talents to good use "They're called Piper Halliwell and Co." She smiled, Piper smiled back happy in the knowledge that Paige wanted her to cater for her wedding.

"So anyway let's eat" Cole piped up, "the quicker we eat the quicker we can finish and the sooner we do that the sooner me and Paige can finish our…discussion" Leo laughed slightly from where he was sat and put some food onto his plate,

"The same discussion you two were having before?" he asked not looking up so he could hide the smile on his face, Piper and Phoebe looked between Leo and Cole failing to notice Paige's ever increasing red face.
"The very one" Cole said happily, but the smile from his face faded as Paige kicked his leg "Ouch Paige that hurt you know" Paige gave him a smile

"Yeah I know"

That night Cole laid on the bed, Phoebe had made plans to go out with Adam and Piper and Leo had stayed downstairs to watch a film. Paige had told him to wait five minutes while she slipped into something 'more comfortable', which was at least fifteen minutes ago. Cole picked up the glass of wine that stood on the table next to the bed and took a drink from it, letting out a bored sigh. In the fifteen minutes he had been alone in the room he decorated it with a few candles and closed the curtains, after waiting a bit longer he phoned a reservation at a restaurant and even after doing that she still hadn't come out of the bathroom. Cole wiped the table where the glass had left a wet mark and put the glass on a coaster, finally he heard the door creak slightly as it opened and he let his eyes look at the sight in the door. He felt his mouth drop slightly and closed it quickly so she wouldn't laugh at him. Paige closed the door behind her and coyly walked towards the bed, the thin black material that just about covered her body ended just above her knees and strapped over her slim shoulders, Cole wanted to moan about how long she took in the bathroom but he couldn't find his words or take his eyes off of her body. Paige smiled seductively at him and held out her hand which Cole took instantly, her soft skin against his rough one made him tingle. Gently he pulled her closer and moved towards her cupping her cheek with his hand,

"You look gorgeous" He whispered, his blue eyes looking into her brown ones, they sparkled at his compliment she put her finger on his lips and smiled,

"We can talk later baby, right now I want you to kiss me" her voice was nothing more than a whisper cut off by Cole's lips against hers. She kissed back feverishly wrapping her arms around his neck; Cole placed a hand on her waist and let his fingers trail over the material. Paige deepened the kiss and pushed Cole back gently moving her body in unison with his. Cole pulled back slightly, out of breath from the intense kiss and looked at her; she smiled down at him and lowered her lips to his neck. Cole smiled and moved his head for her, but his eyes caught the end of a shimmer. He put his hand on Paige's shoulder and moved her off him as 'Simon' shimmered into the bedroom. His face confused as he saw Cole on the bed with Paige,

"You're supposed to be dead" He growled, Paige let her glance shimmy between Cole and 'Simon' as her breath caught in her throat. Sure Cole was back but it was still hard to look at the demon that had killed him before.

"Really? Well that's news to me. When was this arranged?" Cole's cocky attitude took over and he moved off of the bed, behind his back he formed an energy ball but a calm look spread over his face.

"Now I know why you're dating a witch. So you can be brought back" 'Simon' kept his stare on Cole "Maybe if I kill you now then –" He was unable to finish his sentence as Cole threw the energy ball that was behind his back into the chest of the demon in front of him. Cole watched as he vanquished the demon, a faint smile on his lips, he missed the thrill of killing but he had other plans for the future that didn't involve his demonic side. He turned to Paige, who looked at him she didn't know what to say,

"Demons hmm?" Cole smiled at her, trying to lighten her mood and succeeding "Always ruining a moment" Paige nodded in agreement as she held out her hand letting Cole take it and pulling him closer.

"Didn't ruin my mood though; want to finish what we started?" Cole simply smiled in reply and pushed her gently back onto the bed, being careful not to hurt her.

"Show me where we left off if you please Miss. Matthews" Paige pushed him onto his back and moved on top of him.
"It would be your pleasure" she teased, once again lowering her lips to his neck.

AN See told you I would finish it…kinda. Anyway I should have chapter 20 up soon I think, I hope anyway lol. Leave a review you know you want to.
