Today is Eliza's graduation party, she wearing a sea foam green knee length dress with black pumps and her hair in curls. She has just finished her make up when Phoebe tells her to hurry up before she is late for her own graduation, Eliza smiles and heads downstairs to see Phoebe, Paige, Piper and Leo all dressed up.
"So where is your fiancè" Piper asks?
"He should he here now" Eliza says when there is a knock at the door.
Phoebe opens it to see man in a black suit with a tie and under shirt that matches Eliza's dress, he is about 6'2 with blue eyes and very muscular. He has a slight dimple and dark blonde hair with light scrubble, Cole really knows how to pick them.
"Eliza are you going to introduce us" Piper asks?
"Oh sorry um everyone meet my fiancè Ben Maxwell" Eliza says and Cole looks at her smiling.
"Nice to finally meet you Ben" Piper says.
"Nice to meet you too" he says when Eliza walks over to him threading their hands together and she leans her head on his shoulder.
"Come on we should get going" Phoebe says and Cole hand slides down to rest on her lower back as he lets the girls out first.
At the graduation party at the manor, Cole and Eliza are slow dancing along to a song.
"I like this alias. He is very sexy" Eliza says running her hand over his scrubble.
"Thank you" he says before leaning down capturing her lips gently. Phoebe is standing off to the side, Ben seems like a good guy but it's like he is hiding something. She doesn't want to say anything because Eliza is so happy.
"Those two are inseparable" Piper says.
"Yeah but she deserves a life out of witch craft" Paige says.
"Do you think he knows that she is a witch" Piper asks?
"I think so but you can never be to sure" Paige says.
"Yeah we wouldn't want a repeat of Cole" Piper says and walks over to get more fruit punch.
Cole dips Eliza after a spin and she laughs when the music stops and they sit down. Piper walks over to them offering them both cake.
"Thank you Piper" Eliza says taking the plate as Cole did.
"Did you bake this" Cole asks?
"Yes I did" Piper says beaming happy that someone complimented her cooking.
"So you guys we decided to have the wedding at an ancestoral bury ground so good magic surrounds us" Eliza says.
"That's good. Ben are you a witch" Paige asks?
"Actually no I am a reformed demon" he says and they all tense up.
"He won't hurt you. Trust me he could have done it by now" Eliza says.
"Eliza can we talk to you in the kitchen" Piper says and Eliza looks at Cole who nods.
She stands up and follows them into the kitchen while Leo watches Ben. The girls walk into the kitchen and Phoebe crosses her arms disappointed.
"Are you crazy? You bring a demon into our home" Piper scolds?
"He is my fiancee and you guys wanted to meet him" Eliza says.
"He is a demon" Paige says.
"How is that any different from Piper and Jeremy or Phoebe and Cole. Hell even Prue had her share of demons" Eliza says.
"That is not the point. We are more experienced and we know no relationship with evil will ever work" Phoebe says.
"Yet Cole was your soulmate" Eliza groans.
"This isn't about Cole! This is about you following our rules as long as you live in our house. End of discussion" Phoebe says.
"Well maybe this living arrangement won't work out" Eliza says.
"Honey we are only trying to protect you" Piper says.
"Well you need to let me make my own decisions" Eliza says and walks out of the kitchen walking over to Cole grabbing his hand.
"Come on we're leaving" she says.
"Are you ok" he asks?
"Just take me back to your place" she says as they walk out the front door as Phoebe, Paige and Piper watch them.
Once they get in Cole's car he changes his body back to normal and sighs turning to look at her to see her body tense.
"Are you alright" he asks?
"No they just make me so mad" she exclaims.
"They are just trying to look out for you" he says.
"Are you defending them" she yells at him.
"No but they are just trying to protect you" he says.
"Wow you are so unbelievable" she says folding her arms.
Cole sighs and starts up his car before pulling away from the Manor. Once they pull up outside the penthouse, Eliza steps out of the car still fuming mad. Cole follows her into the door and they step on to the elevator waiting for the fourth floor.
"Are you going to stay mad at me forever" he asks?
"Are you going to be an ass forever? It's obvious you took their side because you still love Phoebe" she says.
"Yes I do still love Phoebe" he says.
"Wow thanks" she says as tears fill her eyes and she tries to stop the elevator and go back to the lobby when Cole steps in front of her trapping her between the wall and him.
"Let me finish" he says looking at her makes him heart tighten painfully. She remains quiet but looks behind him at the elevator doors.
"I will always love Phoebe because she was my first love and the mother of my first child. Even though we weren't meant to be and our son died, that bond you have with someone is never gone. Phoebe may have put our past behind her but she knows that bond will always be shared between us. My love for you is different. I am in love with you and know that we will make it as a married couple. I am completely in love with you and nobody else,I want a house full of kids with you. I can see myself dying of old age with you. Well I'm immortal but that can be changed when the time comes, not soon because that would suck but later in life. Can't you see that you are changing me and I love you because you embrace my demon side" Cole says.
Eliza looks at him biting her bottom lip before wrapping her arms around his neck and running her finger over his cheek.
"I'm sorry I overeacted" she says.
"It's fine but you have to trust me" he says.
"I know it's just one of my biggest insecurities is being left or cheated on" she says.
"I will never do that to you" he says before leaning down pressing his lips against hers.
"I love you" she says as the elevator stops.
"I love you too" he says before taking her hand and walking out to his penthouse.
