Hello, this is our first story combined writers- eks-89 and phoebe-HT-gurl12. This chapter sets up for the main plot so we'd appreciate any views and comments...

Summary- Leo inherits a lot of money and makes friends that way... Piper's life is going nowhere until an unwanted something comes along and coincides with Leo life.

'30 million dollars. Where the hell did my parents get 30 million dollars from, I know they worked a lot when I was young, but 30?' Leo thought to himself as he walked out from the bank.

His parents' death a year ago had been hard on him and the only way he knew how to deal with it was to withdraw heavily from society, so that's what he did. He didn't have any friends, girlfriends, siblings, no one. Finally, after sorting out wills, arrangements, distant relatives, lawyers, his parents' friends, he had been given access to their fortune, 30 million.

He was excited to say the least. He had millions of dollars that he didn't have to share with anyone. Well, that he didn't have anyone to share it with.

Leo was on his way to the bank when he bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry! That was completely my fault." He apologized as he bent down to pick up the stuff that had dropped from her purse.

When he looked up he saw a gorgeous, brown hair, turquoise eyed woman staring straight at him.

"No, I should look where I'm going next time. Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm Kaila."

"Well, Kaila, I'm Leo, and it was really nice meeting you, but I'm late for a meeting. Maybe I will run into you later."

Leo walked away, completely oblivious to Kaila's hurt expression.

Piper walked into the bar she worked at, Donnie's

She didn't know why she was doing what she did, sure it gave her the money for the bills, just. She had so many ambitions 5 years ago, cooking, acting, all sorts. Her life was going no-where and she was fed-up of it. She threw her stuff under the counter and started to get ready for the customers that night.

"So, Piper, anything going on in your life?" Sheryl, another waitress yelled over the noise.

"Nothing. What about you?" Piper asked thankful for the conversation. She'd just worked a 6-hour shift with only drunk old men to keep her company.

"I don't know. Kaila told me she met a guy today."

Kaila was Sheryl's younger sister. Piper had never met her but Sheryl often mentioned her.

"What was he like?"

"She said he was nice, until he walked away."

"Huh?"

"She told me that he said, 'It was really nice meeting you, but I have to go.'" Sheryl replied whilst the two had started dancing to the music after finishing their shifts.

"Sad. Kaila sounds like such a sweet girl from everything that you've told me."

"Yeah, well, guys are guys. But maybe not all. That guy over there near the stage is checking you out."

"It's rude to stand here then." Piper said with a smirk on her face.

Piper went over and instantly stuck up a conversation with him.

An hour later, Piper and Jack, the bar guy, were over at his house both heavily drunk.

"Piper are you sure you want to be doing this?" He asked leading her to the bedroom.

"Ummhmm." Piper said stumbling a little bit.

"Good." Jack kissed her and the two of them spent the rest of the night in his bedroom.

Quite short but let us know whether to continue or not. Thank you... hit that lovely little button!
