Don't Let Go

AU TeenFic Major PiperLeo. Piper goes to visit her father's ranch in Texas to attend his wedding and to spend the summer. While there she sees some old friends in new eyes.

"Piper, Piper wake up." Prue said as she jumped up and down like a little child on Piper's bed to wake her up.

"Go away." Piper grumbled as she threw a pillow at Prue and pulled the cover over her head.

"Come on sis wake up it's your birthday." Prue said as she stopped jumping.

"Don't remind me."

"Hey what's the matter?" Prue asked as she sat next her sister who was now fully awake.

"Oh its nothing."

"Ok if you say so. So are you excited?"

"Excited? About what?"

"Come on you are officially 17 years old."

"Oh that not really."

"How does it feel to be 17?"

"The same way it feels being 16."

"You know what you are such a party pooper."

"Well it's my party I can do what I want to. So how is the arrangement for the party going?"

"Its excellent, Dad already booked the entertainment and rented out the ballroom. I already got your costume from the dry cleaners. This is going to be so cool."

"Yea usually all costume parties are."

"Well I'm going downstairs to finish fix your breakfast."

"Wait you are making breakfast?"

"Aww come on sis I can handle breakfast well I'm not making it Liz is so you are safe."

"Oh good I thought you were going to give me a heart attack."

"Well anyway I already set you a bath so just go in there and have fun. Oh by the way this present came for you in the mail." Prue said as she rest a small box on Piper's dresser.

Piper looked over at the gift on her dresser. It had a white box with a red ribbon neatly tied on it in a bow. She pulled it apart and opened it. Inside of the big box was one single red rose. Piper pulled it out and looked at it in awe. She looked on the stem and there was a little card attached, which read:

Thinking of you in a special way
I just wanted to wish you a Happy 17th Birthday.

"Dan." Piper said in a low whisper. He was so romantic and always knew how to make her day. She placed the rose on the dresser and walked in the bathroom to take a nice relaxing bath.

They stood outside the Bennett Ranch beside a red BMW watching Piper move through her room from the window.

"Hmm I think she really liked the rose." Figure one said.

"Yea too bad it's the beginning of the end for her." Figure two said as they got inside the car.

"You're right but we can't do anything tonight, but tomorrow it will start." Figure one said as they started the car and drove away.

Piper walked inside the Grandma's Wyatt bakery to pick up the cake for her party later. After taking her relaxing bath and having breakfast in bed, she volunteered to come and get the cake since everyone did so much for her already. She really took this as an opportunity to see Grandma Wyatt though.

"Hello Piper Bennett here." She said as she looked around and noticed that no one was there. She then saw a white floury head under the counter and smiled. "Umm I'm here to pick up the cake for Prue Bennett."

"Hey Piper." The head said as it came up from under the counter only to reveal not grandma Wyatt but the one and only Leo Wyatt.

"Hi Leo, what happened to your head?" she asked.

"Oh that well I was trying to help my Grams with some of her orders because she isn't feeling well but things got a little messy." Leo said as he looked at Piper. She looked absolutely stunning in her casual summer dress.

"Yea I see that, want some help?" she asked as Leo's face brightened up. Where did that come from?

"Sure." Leo said as calm as he could. He was so excited to be spending time with her and he had all of this planned out. Well with a special someone's help of course. "Well your cake is the only one that needs baking for right now so we'll do that."

"Ok. This is kind of weird I mean I'm baking my own birthday cake. Anyway Leo can you pass me the flour." Piper said as she grabbed some ingredients off the counter. Leo got up and moved over to get the flour but before he could give it to her he accidentally dropped it and caused flour to spill all over him.

"Oops." Leo said as Piper turned around and saw the mess he made.

"Oh my gosh." Piper said as she walked over to him. "How did that happen?"

"Well I sort of dropped it." Leo said.

"Well I can see that, you look so ridiculous." She said laughing and pointing at him.

"Do you think this is funny?" he asked as he saw her nod her head. "Well in that case you might as have some too." He said as he threw some loose flour at her and started laughing.

"Oh this is war." Piper said as she grabbed up some ingredients and threw it at Leo. This started a very messy food fight with eggs, icing, flour and sprinkles. None of them knew how it happened but somehow in the middle of the fight they ended up on the flour covered in chocolate icing. "Oh my I have never had this much fun in like forever."

"Yea it was pretty fun." Leo said propping his body on his elbows and looking over at Piper. She looked so adorable and irresistible with all that chocolate on her face. "Hey you have something on your face."

"Really so do you." She said laughing. Next thing she noticed was Leo's face hovering over hers and her breath caught in her throat.

"Let me get that for you." Leo said as he bends his head and kissed away some icing from her cheek. He wasn't even thinking about what he was doing he just had a feeling to do it. He saw that she wasn't saying anything so he pulled back and looked in her face to see her expression. Her eyes were closed and opened a second after he stopped. They lay there with their noses barely touching. Leo was trying so hard not to kiss her because he didn't want to rush her but he just got lost in her brown chocolate eyes and he kissed her. It was a gentle sweet kiss of the lips brushing across each other and as he was going to pull away she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a more passionate kiss.
