Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 17

After finally making the potion, Chris and I just hung about in the attic. Wyatt was asleep in their room, so we couldn't go in there...

We ended up messing about with the ingredients and making stupid little potions. We flicked through the book of shadows and Chris told me the stories of how they defeated past demons.

After all the fun, we collapsed on the floor and stared at the ceiling. Our legs and arms were spread out like starfish and we layed there in silence.

"This is.....weirdly...nice." Chris said breaking the silence.

"Yeah? I find it...calming. Considering everything that is going on." I answered back, turning my head towards him.

He turned his head to look at me. He smiled and I couldn't help but I smile back. He turned over his whole body and lifted himself up. I still layed on the floor. He was still smiling with his perfect white teeth and his lushious green eyes beamed down on me. Then he brought his head closer to mine and then kissed me gently.

I closed my eyes and gently ran my hands up his torso to his neck. I pushed myself up and we swapped positions. He was now under me. I felt his hands cradle my waist and hold me close to him. I put both of my hands on each side of his head and pulled away.

"We shouldn't be doing this." I said.

He looked at me with a confused look.

"Why not? We like each other? I like you, you like me, so we make out and have sex." He said in a simple tone.

"That's not what I meant." I said. "Wyatt knows what happened last night and I think he feels betrayed by me. And making out with you in the attic isn't going to win his trust back."

He huffed and rolled his eyes.

"He needs to learn that he can't have everything he wants. I'm happy with you and I want to protect you just as much as he wants to." Chris answered back.

I smiled. I always do that. Whenever somebody compliments me or makes a really nice remark to me, my mouth has a sudden need to curl up into a smile and turn my cheeks red.

"That's cute. But I want to save myself this time. But you can help." I joked, letting out a little giggle.

He pulled back my hair and caressed my cheek.

"I love your smile." He giggled back.

He smoothly pulled my face towards his. Inches before our lips were going to touch the room filled with orbs. I leaned closer to his mouth to complete the kiss but instead I went straight to floor and wacked my chin on the hard wood.

I got up and Chris wasn't underneath me anymore. I looked up, rubbing my chin and he wasn't there. I turned around but he wasn't there either.

Did he just orb out on me?

I sat on the floor, trying to figure out why Chris orbed out on me. I suddenly heard a loud smash of glass downstairs.

"Chris!" I heard Piper shout.

I sprung to my feet and quickly ran out of the attic, to see what had happened and why he orbed out on me.

************************************************

When I came down the stairs I saw a vase that was smashed into pieces. The flowers were spilled everywhere and pools of water were skimmed over the floor. Piper was standing next to the mess, hands on his, scowling. Chris was leaning against the sofa with an ice pack on his head.

I quickly walked over to them to see what happened.

"What happened?" I asked purposely eying Chris.

"He smashed my damn vase that's what happened!" Piper yelled in frustration.

"I didn't mean to. I was upstairs, making the vanquishing potion with Anna when suddenly I was orbed down here. I didn't mean to orb. I think the elders did it. And when they do that I don't have such a smooth landing." Chris examined removing the ice pack.

"Why would these elders do that?" I asked.

"There're the big guns in the whitelighter community. They give us orders, charges. They are responsible for the future of the greater good of

Man kind." Wyatt said walking down the stairs.

Everyone turned around when he spoke.

"You're supposed to be sleeping." Piper told him.

"I couldn't with all this racket. Sleep in this house? Come on." Wyatt joked.

"Well how do we find out why they orbed him for no reason?" I asked everyone.

"We don't. Unless they tell us." Chris answered glumly.

Great. That's just great....
