AN: Sorry guys it took me so long to update, but I've been totally swamped with tests and homework. Exams are coming up for me so updates are gonna be a little less frequent until the end of June. But if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Anyways here's Chapter 10 Enjoy :)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS MUAH I LOVE YOU ALL :)
Disclaimer: I don't own charmed…But I wish I did.
Piper stared at Leo. She was in a state of shock…this was it…her answer could change her life in more ways than one. She was surprised she has actually understood what Leo said, he had blurted it out so quickly that his words had slurred together. Will I go out with him? Will I?
"…yes…" she replied softly. As soon as she said that one, three-lettered word, Leo let out a breath of relief. He smiled uncontrollably.
"Yes?" he asked hopefully
"Yes!" Piper stated firmly. "Yes Leo Wyatt I will go out with you" she broke into a huge grin and reached over the table to take his hand in hers. "…yes…" she echoed quietly, giggling to herself. "But that counts as one of your 21 questions" she joked.
He laughed. God she was amazing he thought
"…but um…" she began in a serious tone.
Leo felt his heart drop. Please god please he begged. "But what Piper?" he asked concerned
"Prue can't know about us, no one can…"
Leo felt both disappointed and glad at the same time. He was glad that Piper wasn't having second thoughts on her decision. But disappointed that the world couldn't know that his girlfriend was Piper Halliwell. He was so happy he could scream at the top of his lungs. He wanted everyone to know just exactly how happy he was. "Why not?" he asked
"Because…b-because she doesn't want me dating" she rushed. "And if she was to find out, we'd both be screwed, in more ways than one."
"Ok…but why can't we tell anyone at all?"
"Because word gets around fast"
"Why doesn't she want you dating?"
"Because she just doesn't" Piper lied hastily
Leo eyed her suspiciously, but decided not to press the issue any further. "Whatever, I'm just happy that we're finally together"
Piper shut the front door of the manor as quietly as possible and proceeded to tip toe up the wooden staircase, when Prue walked out of the family room.
"Hold it right there missy"
'Busted' Piper thought as she bit her lower lip. She had a tendency to that whenever she was lying or when she knew she was in for it.
"Hi Sis how you doing?" Piper smiled as pleasantly as she could at her fuming older sister
"Don't give me any of that crap…you're late…where were you?"
"Sorry…I got caught up tutoring some kids from school."
"It's almost 9:30" she said coldly
"Well…tutoring finished at 6 and I went over to Roshi's again to study, we have they huge English presentation coming up."
"You don't have English this semester" Prue pointed out dryly
'Shit…I suck at lying'
"Did I say English? I meant history" she covered up quickly
Prue didn't say anything, but she gave her younger sister a long, cold hard stare. Piper swore that Prue was staring at her hard enough to see right through her. Prue continued to give her sister the evil eye for a full 2 minutes.
"Curfew is seven, it's 9:30 right now…you're two and half hours late."
"Well, jeez Prue I said I was sorry what more do you want me to say?"
"I want you to come home ON TIME!"
"Well it's not like you ever give a damn when Phoebe breaks her curfew"
"We are not talking about your sister right now! We are talking about you! Don't you dare compare yourself to Phoebe!"
"God! Stop nagging at me! Just leave me alone! You're so annoying!" instantly Piper regretted those words as soon as they left her mouth.
For a moment Prue looked like she was about to cry, she was pained, Piper had hurt her deeply, but that look was immediately replaced with anger and frustration.
"You want me to leave you alone? Fine!" she said walking away.
"No Prue I didn't mean it!"
"No it's fine you wanna be alone…I'll let you have your space" she said backing off, brushing past her sister and slamming the door to her room.
Piper sighed and slumped down in the middle of staircase. She sat there for a while before getting up and walking to her room and slamming her own door.
Her eye caught a piece of stationary tacked up on the back of door. She grabbed the nearest pen and checked off item number 12.
"Leo is that you?"
"Yea Pops I'm home" he called out, he voice echoing throughout the massive front hall. His shoes echoed against the marble floor as he made his way to his dad's office.
"I got a call from Ms. Dale today…" he started
'Fuck' his perfect day was gonna be ruined by a stupid math teacher calling home to rat on him.
"…I heard you got an A on your last test…" he said breaking out into an enormous smile. "Congrats son! I'm so proud of you!"
"What!" Leo was in a complete state of shock. This was good news? Good news from the woman who had called home all last year to report to his dad that he was constantly failing, the woman who had constantly made his life a living hell?
"Make sure you thank your tutor for me…uh Piper they said her name was…Oh and Leo, I forgot, our company annual state dinner is coming up, all the important people will be there…"
"Oh right…" he made a face, his father's stupid state dinner was absolutely the most boring party in the world
"Oh don't look so disappointed…you can bring a date!"
"Really?" he said hoping that Piper would agree to come.
"Yea as a matter of fact I've already called Andrea up. She said she would be delighted to come"
AN: Ahahah another cliffy…sorry guys I had to bring Andrea back into this…but remember Leo's dad doesn't know they broke up :P Anyways hope you enjoyed the chapter. Don't forget to R&R
