Chapter 3 - And Then We Kiss

A/N- Hello readers! Once again I would like to thank all of you that reviewed for your support. Yet, heres the bad news. I'm going to be back in school, sadly. And this year I'm going to work extra hard on my grades. So updates will slow down. And when I'm not working on school stuff, at Church, or dealing with my dysfunctional family, I will be typing away for this. Also, forget that idea I had, I know what I'm going to do. I wrote down chapter descriptions. As for my spelling, I haven't reinstalled Word so I'm using Rich Text Document and I don't always go back and edit since I'm lazy. Title was based of the song 'And Then We Kiss' by Brittany Spears(Don't ask).[br]

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or any of its characters. Only the ones I create! Which is so far Collingsworth Felix.[br]
[br]
Summary: It's been a year since the Ultimate Battle and Billie Jenkin's has gotten over her sister and parents. Now she is re-accepted back into the Magical Community, even the Charmed Ones. While they enjoy their new lives, Billie still stresses over restlessness. Please read and find out![br]

And Then We Kiss[br]

[br]

Billie shot up and looked around for Collingsworth. He wasn't there. The young blond struggled off the bed, trying to shake off the sleep. As she walked towards the closet, she stumbled a few times, but she managed. She grabbed her outfit of the day, which was gym clothes, and went to the shower, preparing for the long day.[br]
[br]

Once her morning ritual was complete she heard Piper call for her downstairs for breakfast. A very big, healthy breakfast. She jogged down the stairs and to the dinning room. Where Leo sat between the boys, while Piper put food on everyones plates. It was hard for her to imagine that she would be leaving this to stay at a house that was much bigger and that Paige would be dealing with charges all the time and possibly even kids one day. While Henry had to wake up, get ready, eat breakfast and leave and come home late. So she may be alone a lot.[br]
[br]

"Thank you Piper. For everything." She said without hesitation while sitting down. Piper looked up at her and smiled.[br]
[br]

"Your welcome. Now eat, this could be your last daily meal here. Depending on how much you and the couple get down today." The older witch and Charmed one retorted while sitting down herself.[br]
[br]

"Then its going to be a very long day isn't it?" She asked, sarcastically. Then she started eating her morning meal. Piper shook her head and ate herself. All the while, Leo tried breaking up a food fight between the boys, which didn't get far.[br]

[br]

Two weeks passed after that day. Now Paige, Henry and Billie were settled in their new home, mostly. The alter room was still in need of more herbs, veils and a cauldron. Other than all that, Billie still embraced her witch heritage, as did Paige, but with the exception of being half Whitelighter. Though, when Billie did fights on her own, Collie was there to help. He was like a Secret Angel Agent. Undercover and mysterious, but always helpful in ways.[br]
[br]

Their romance life wasn't much though. They still wanted to take it slow like normal couples would. Yet, since they barely get to see each other, it was extremely slow. But, today seemed like a different day for Billie. Something big was going to happen. Something really big.[br]
[br]

Billie's sub conscious lost its way as she came crashing back down to Earth. She saw herself in the mirror, still same old same old. Always lost in a haze. Just to be brought back once she stumbles unto something, good or bad. Like Piper, she felt as if when something good happens, something sinister always will. Thats how life worked. Didn't it? Or could true happiness be found and just scratched or dented, but never broken. Love is a mystery, even to the experts on it.[br]
[br]

"Billie?" A voice called out to her. It was surprisingly not Paige, but Henry himself.[br]
[br]

"Yeah?" She asked, now looking towards him, but stayed seated. A small smile crept on her face.[br]
[br]

"Paige wants you." He answered and waited for her to approach the door and leave. They walked down the stairs together, like a father would his daughter and made their way to the kitchen where Paige was. She was dressed in a black apron with hot chili peppers on it.[br]
[br]

"Yeah Paige?" Billie asked cautiously. Paige knew how to persuade people into things they didn't want to be in. Especially when she is mad at them.[br]
[br]

"I need you to go to the grocery store and get some eggs, milk and sugar please. We're eating at Piper and Leo's tonight and I want to take some of the work load off of her since she has three kids." She demanded, still not taking her eyes off a pot full of...,stuff.[br]
[br]

"Three?" Henry and her asked in union.[br]
[br]

"Leo..." She retorted and got back to stirring.[br]
[br]

"Ahh...Leo...Got it!" Billie said while leaving the riot laughing Henry Mitchell and busy Paige. She left the building and to her car. As she lowered her head and sat in the seat, and fire blazed beside her.[br]
[br]

"Collie!?!" She yelled in bewilderment.[br]
[br]

"I knew I would surprise you! So lets get going." He stated and fastened his seat belt. She looked at him with complete frustration, but soon her expression lightened up.[br]
[br]

"H-how did you know I was leaving?! I know your my significant other and all, but I feel like I'm being stalked now!" Billie snapped while backing out with the Firestarter going into hysterics at her reactions.[br]
[br]

"I'm not stalking you. I just listened in through my sensing and over heard. So I decided it would be a great time for us to spend some time together. Even if its going to be short lived." The young gentleman stated with confidence while watching the trees and houses go bye. Along with children and animals. Billie decided to not argue back, after all he was right. The young witch watched him out of the corner of her eye.[br]
[br]

"Not every day you get to do this is it?" She asked, but was still ashamed.[br]
[br]

"Naw...Remember, I grew up in the Beauty Magical Realm, pretty much. What were the chances that I could possibly raise enough money to bye a car and learn, while not getting caught. Then going and getting my license?," He grumbled, but brightened up," I'm pretty much an illegal immigrant. sure I have a birth certificate and all, but without a license..."[br]
[br]

"I get it! I feel guilty now. Shhss mister." She said in a giddy tone. Which caused Collingsworth to smile. Finally, after minutes of driving and avoiding traffic, they made it to the local store. Billie parked the car and got out after unfastening her seat belt; Collie doing the same. Firestarter and Witch walked in with smiles. Some people noticed Billie and asked questions like, 'Billie, when did you get a BF?'. They avoided the comments and proceeded down the aisles. Picking up needed supplies, even though they weren't all on Paige's list. Collie pushed the buggy while Billie just picked up the necessaries.[br]
[br]

After a bit of shopping, they went to the cash register and put them on the slot one by one. Two minutes later, Billie paid for it and her and the Firestarter picked up the few bags and went to the car.[br]
[br]
dbdbdb[br]

[br]

The ride back was longer now, as Billie went below the speed limit to spend time with her significant other. But now, they were in the drive way of the Mitchell house hold. They sat in the turned off car for a few minutes in silence.[br]
[br]

"Collie...I think you should come have dinner at Piper and Leo's with us tonight..." Billie said while facing the window, her hand in his.[br]
[br]

"Are you sure?" He worried. This was going to be a big step, and confession for them. After all, the Charmed One's weren't real big on Firestarters after the Christy insedent.[br]
[br]

"As sure I ever will be..." She whispered carefully. It was something to think about. Yet, it was already answered in the first place. Silence fell over the two once again, but Collie did something to change that. His hand found its way to Billie's chin and pulled her head up. Their faces approached one another and their elegant lips connected to one another. Their tongues played their own dance as Billie put her hand on his cheek and traced his facial structure. After moments that seemed like they lasted forever, air was needed. Witch and Firestarter parted, with small blushes.[br]
[br]

"Uhh...wow...I guess." Billie and Collie said in union.[br]
[br]

"We best get the groceries in the house before Paige kills us..." Collie pointed out and stepped out of the car and to it's trunk. Billie followed suit after popping the trunk open. They grabbed the bags, closed and locked the car up, and went up the steps. The two braced themselves for the worst. Once they walked into the house and into the kitchen, they were bound to be yelled at by Paige.[br]
[br]

"I want you to know I'll always love you no matter what Paige and Henry say. OKay?" The blond said to the taller male.[br]
[br]

"And I'll always love you. Now lets figure out our judgment." They gulped as Billie twisted the door knob and opened it. This was it. The action they were taking would prove everything. Time to embrace what was coming. Collie followed closely behind Billie as she walked into the kitchen and sat the stuff on the empty part of the counter. Then, Paige and Henry's heads looked towards them. Surprised about the new face, Paige's eye glew in fury.[br]
[br]

"Billie Jenkins...Care to elaborate?" She snapped while having her arm wrapped around Henry.[br]
[br]

"Well...Umm...--" The younger witch was cut off.[br]
[br]

"Felix...Collingsworth Felix. I'm Billie's boyfriend. Nice to meet you. Billie here has told me much about you." He shocked everyone, even himself. Suddenly he stuck out his hand and shook Henry's, which had taken it to be polite. Then he gave a friendly kiss on the back of Paige's hand. Next thing they knew, his arm was around Billie's shoulders as she brought her hand up to meet his the was extended around her.[br]
[br]

"Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I--We were kinda scared to talk about it the past couple of weeks." Paige's eyes lit up in understandment of who he was.[br]
[br]

"So your the Firestarter I caught back then!?! No wonder Billie has been taking longer on the trips of Demon hunting!" Duh hit Paige hard as she remember those nights ago where they had found this house and she caught Billie watching a blaze go away, which lead her to learn very little about Collie.[br]
[br]

"Yes mam. If, you don't mind me calling you that, that is." Collie answered while keeping calm from the tension in the room.[br]
[br]

"Please, Paige. It makes me feel older when people call me 'mam'," Paige said while recalling the last time some one did that at Magic School," Henry, why don't you go show Collingsworth around the house or watch some T.V. with him." She ordered with a fake smile. Her husband agreed and showed the guest to the living room. Which left Billie with Paige in the kitchen, which happened to have knives laying everywhere at the moment.[br]
[br]

"Billie! Explain! Now!" She snapped, which caused her charge to jerk backwards. Her heavy breathing filled the room as the tension got even worse.[br]
[br]

"Paige! Gosh! He hasn't done anything to harm me! Collie's actually protected and fought beside me when I'm Demon fighting without your or the others. He's a gentleman!" Billie protested. She knew this was going to be bad though. Hopefully, it wouldn't get worse. Paige got back to cooking, but still went on.[br]
[br]

"Billie, hes a Firestarter for crying out loud! The same being that your sister was! I know we've talked about this briefly then, but your still with him!?! And you trust him! He could be using you and I don't wont you getting hurt again." Paige barked while finishing her dish for the family dinner at the Halliwell Manor.[br]
[br]

"He's not using me Paige! Why don't you get to know him before you judge him!" Billie stated in self defense but was cut off from cheering in the other room. The two listened in to the other room and heard radio talk dudes yapping to football. [br]
[br]

"We'll talk about this later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Right now we all need to go to Piper and Leo's with a smile on our faces.," Paige said with a finger pointed at the blond then picked up the dish." And whatever you do: Do not mention Collingsworth being a Firestarter. Got it?"[br]
[br]

"Didn't plan on it mom..." Billie said with sarcasm and followed out of the kitchen. [br]
[br]
dbdbdb[br]

[br]

Like usual, Halliwell Manor was nice and tighty, even with Wyatt and Chris messing things up in the sun room. Henry went into the living room and greeted Coop and Leo, who were watching the football game Collie and him got into earlier. Collingsworth followed him to get to know the other guys, while Paige and Billie went into the kitchen to be greeted by Phoebe and Piper.[br]
[br]

"There you two are! We were getting worried!" Phoebe said while marching over to the two and hugging them. Piper on the other hand, kept to her hobby, cooking.[br]
[br]

"Billie wouldn't miss out on this. Paige's cooking probably isn't like mine." The eldest chuckled up and managed to get a smirk from Billie.[br]
[br]

"Well...Billie brought her boyfriend so we may need more...Won't we Billie?" Paige asked through gritted teeth.[br]
[br]

"Boyfriend!?!?" Phoebe and Piper screamed in union.[br]
[br]

"Yeah, his names Collingsworth. And don't worry! He knows I'm a witch. He took it well and knows I do what I do..." Billie stated, but made sure she left no hint of him being a Firestarter. Next thing everyone knew, Phoebe was hugging Billie then running into the living room to meet Collingsworth.[br]
[br]

"Phoebe!" Billie screamed and ran after her. Leaving Piper and Paige to catch up some. In the living room the guys were cheering and keeping the room tense with anxiety. Phoebe walked circles around Collie, looking him up and down. Beads of sweat formed on the Firestarter's forehead and Billie covered her head in embarrassment.[br]
[br]

"Hmm...He'll do! Welcome to Halliwell Manor, Collie! I'm Phoebe!" The middle youngest said in a giddy manner while sticking her hand out. Coop shook his head with a smile on his face. His wife was too social for her own good. Leo and Henry sighed and rolled their eyes at the scene.[br]
[br]

"Phoebe...please..." Billie pleaded while sitting down on the coach, followed by Collie.[br]
[br]

"Uhg. Party pooper...!" Phoebe stated in her 'funny voice' then proceeded to the kitchen to find her sisters.[br]
[br]

"So how long have you two been together?" Leo asked, still facing the T.V. Collingsworth held Billie's hand as Coop sensed they were very much in love.[br]
[br]

"Two weeks so far." They answered together. Henry chuckled at how clueless he had been, but listened anyways. Yet, the next thing they knew, they were being called to the dinning room for dinner. They all did as ordered and made there way. Yet, not after Billie went and got the boys with Leo. Moments later, they were all seated at the crowded table and putting food on their plates.[br]
[br]
dbdbdb[br]

[br]

Dinner had just been eaten as everyone was digesting their meal while pleasantly talking about things going on. Though, it was interrupted when a Warlock blinked in and throw an athemae at Wyatt and Chris. Yet, Paige used her orbing telekinesis and sent it back to the Warlock, then Wyatt orbed him and Chris upstairs. The Warlock blinked and appeared behind Coop, who instantly moved and allowed Piper to use her explosive power on him. She did so, but it only harmed him. The intruder took another athemae and stabbed Leo in the side. Screams were heard as Piper kept using her dangerous power on the Warlock.[br]
[br]

The Warlock kept going as Piper's power didn't work. Billie opened a drawer in a near by small coffee table and pulled out a potion. She lunged it at the Warlock once Phoebe moved out of the way. It barely did any harm like Pipers. Collie looked around and knew he had to do it. Even if it was against the wishes of his significant other. He concentrated on the Warlock as he was a bit stunned by the potion. In seconds, the enemy was raptured in flames and was finally slain. Everyone looked at him in shock, except Billie.[br]
[br]

"Y-your a Firestarter!?!" Everyone screamed except Paige, Henry and Billie. Collie starred at them, ashamed of everything. Yet, on the inside, he was glad that they got to know the truth.[br]
[br]

"Billie Jenkins!" Piper yelled, her eyes burning in rage. Wives huddled to their husbands as Paige has already healed Leo. Whilst, Collie and Billie wrapped their arms around one another. They were ready to fully take on everyone that would know this secret. [br]
[br]

"Please, do not be mad at Billie. It is me, she did nothing wrong...I--" Collie started, but was cut off.[br]
[br]

"It is both your fault's!" The sisters said while the men just laid back. After all, Leo had gone through forbidden love, Coop is a Cupid, and Henry didn't really care.[br]
[br]

"I love Billie! I wouldn't hurt her! All I've done other than being a good boyfriend was protect her! It didn't matter her position to me! It didn't matter that she was a Charge of a Charmed One! I didn't care! I didn't care about the consequences! Only that I love Billie! I'm in love with her! The very fiber of her being. You can trust that I wouldn't harm her in any way!" Collingsworth protested.[br]
[br]

"And I'm in love with Collie..." Billie quietly said as she diverted her eyes from the sisters and towards Coop, looking for an answer or at least some help.[br]
[br]

"Collingsworth, we have only trusted two Firestarter's since we figured out that we are Witches! And the last one was evil! While the first one was a young boy who bound his powers until he could use them!" Phoebe stated while picking up on Billie's pain from the fact the Christy was evil. Even though it wasn't her fault she was raised by demons since she was five.[br]
[br]

"But I'm not evil! I was neutral, but I picked good instead! Demons killed my parents and I knew I wouldn't won't to be evil since thats what they did to me! I stayed in a Magical Realm that was formed from Beauty! I never thought of being evil! That never crossed my mind!" This was the new side Billie saw as Collie argues about his past. Everyone was breathing heavily at the subject.[br]
[br]

"One chance...You harm anyone and you'll have to answer to me. Got it?" Piper said in her motherly tone. The fierce moment lasted seconds, but seemed as if it lasted for moments. [br]
[br]

"Let's go Collie. I'll see you later guys. See you both when you get home Paige and Henry..." Billie said while breaking the stare down. She put her hand on Collie's back and forced him to walk with her out the door. As they got to the front door, Collie wrapped his arms around Billie and they blazed out. Moments later, they were in Billie's room. She let go of him and fell unto her backside and started crying. The young blond witch brought her knees to her chest and cried into herself. Then the taller darker man sat own by her and cradled her n his arms. A 'manly' tear or two escaped from his eyes as he closed them and comforted Billie. [br]
[br]

Time flew bye as they sat by each other, their eyes puffy from tears of pain. Everything was now seen clearly. Their only option to stay together was to fight for love and acception. Sooner than expected, Billie's breathing slowed, causing Collie to think she was asleep. He picked her up bridal style, and brought her to her bed.[br]
[br]

As soon as he started to put her down and come back upright, he found himself held down. Billie placed kisses on his neck, moans escaping from her throat occasionally. He found her lips and return the passionate kisses. The blond brought her hands to his shirt buttons and speedily opened them. Whilst, he did untied the ribbon from her back as she crawled unto him.[br]
[br]

The room started getting hot. Breathing was rapid. As Collie just got untieing Billie's blouse, her cell phone went off. She sighed and reached across the bed to the night stand that she left her phone. Then she looked at the caller I.D. It showed Paige's number.[br]
[br]

"Hello?" Billie slurred as she answered the phone.[br]
[br]

"Billie, me and Henry should be home in about five minutes. Collie best not be there either. We have to talk about some things." Paige calmly stated.[br]
[br]

"OKay, I'll see you in a few. Bye!," The younger witch gave in and heard the 'Goodbye' on the other side. "Collie...You have to go...I'm sorry about just now. It--" [br]
[br]

"I'm not sorry...I'll be back soon. Good bye for now, my love..." Collingsworth gave her one last tender kiss and blazed out. Billie stood up and retied her shirt and fixed her hair. Then jogged down stairs to await Paige and Henry's arrival.[br]
[br]
A/N- So how do you like the cliffy?!?! I know this chapter was a bit more intemiate, but I figured I get Collie and Billie's relationship somewhere other than this dang puppy love between a stubborn witch and gentleman. It's kinda like Piper and Leo, just altered. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE PiperxLeo romance! I just don't think we need another tango like that, every romance deserves its own story. Well, please review! And remember, I'm back in school! Have a blessed day![br]
