Chapter Title- Is There Anything Between Us?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that afternoon when Piper got home, she heard giggling in the living room. Phoebe and Prue were playing Twister. Prue looks up and asked, "What took you so long to get home?" Piper answered, "I walked home because I didn't feel like taking the bus." Prue said, "You could have asked me to take you home."
Phoebe couldn't support herself from the unusual position and collapse causing Prue to fall on the floor laughing. Piper looked at them surprised. Since when did they start getting along, and laughing together? Usually you'll need a crowbar to pull them apart.
"What?," Prue asked staring back at Piper. Piper smiles and Prue noticed she hasn't done that in days or weeks even. "Who are you and what have you done with my sister?," Piper asked. Phoebe said, "I don't know, but I like this Prue."
"Okay, little one. Go do your homework before Grams comes in here yelling," Prue instructed. Phoebe stood and said, "Okay, fine." Prue announced, "We'll go for ice cream later." Phoebe nodded and started up the stairs.
"so, what's gotten into you, Prue?," Piper asked curiously. Prue said putting an arm around Piper's shoulder, "Grams and I had a talk. I realized that I've been not-so-nice a lot lately and I don't want to be the sister who you can't talk to anymore. I want you to know that I'm always here if you want to talk, you know?" Piper nodded and said, "I know your here. Thanks. I got to go, though." Prue asked, "where you going?" Piper answered, "Over to Leo's. I just need to see where we stand exactly. Don't worry, I'll be home before dinner."
Prue nodded and smiled. "You making out with the next door neighbor. What a classic love story," Prue said teasingly. Piper said smiling, "Oh, shut up, Prue. I'm not even much in love with the guy." Prue said doubtfully, "Right...see you later."
She enjoyed her short walk next door watching clouds slowly moving past her. The birds chirping merrily. Gone with the days when everything was simple with her and Leo. Where they would just simply enjoy each others company. Piper sighed walking up to the steps and ringing the door bell.
Angela, Leo's mom answered the door with a merry face and greeted Piper.
"Hello, Angel. How do you do? Is Leo home?," Piper said politely. Angela nodded and before she could invite Piper in. Leo shouted from the banister, "Mom! Who is that at the door?!"
"Come in, Piper," Angela said stepping aside. Piper walked in and Angela closed the door asking how her day went, or if she stayed out of trouble.
"My day was okay, and I managed to stay out of trouble at least," Piper told Angela who was preparing dinner. "Finally," Leo joked. Piper glared at him. Angela asked, "Do you want to stay for dinner?" Piper shook her head and replied, "no, thanks. Grams expects me to be home. I just needed to talk to Leo for a minute or two." Angela asked, "Are you sure? Because I'm positive that Leo would love your company by the way he's been talking about you lately."
Piper could have sworn that Leo blushed and then try to act manly about it.
"Mom, please," Leo's voice trailed off. Angela smiled and said, "alright." Piper said, "If you don't mind Angela, I'm going to steal Leo away for a couple of minutes." Angela nodded and Piper took Leo's hand, pulling him into the living room.
"Hey, where you going? Let's go to my room," Leo said. Piper obeyed and walked upstairs with him, hand-in-hand.
For a guy his room was fairly neat, except the fact that books and papers were everywhere. But at least you can still see his bed.
"So, what was it that you wanted to tell me?," Leo asked eyeing her curiously. Piper paced his room for awhile searching for the right words to tell him, but nothing came to her. She must have been making him dizzy because he soon pulled her down, sitting on his lap. He looked into her eyes sweetly causing her to feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Well, what is it, sweetheart? Are you okay?," Leo asked concerned. Piper smiled and said, "It's nothing like that at all. I just...I just..." Piper looked down at her feet and avoided making eye contact. Leo pulled her chin up and asked, "You just what?" Piper replied, "I just want to know where we stand with each other. I mean, it feels like nothings changed between us."
Without another word, Leo kissed her lips gently. His hands sliding up and down her back. Suddenly he pulled back and asked, "Does that answer your question?" Piper smiled and answered, "I don't know. Kiss me again, and we'll see." Laughing Leo lowered her onto the bed, kissing her.
Piper felt so lost when she was with him. He was everything and more.
"No, we can't do this, Piper," Leo said pulling him away from her. Piper asked, "what's wrong?" Leo answered, "We can't do this now. I love you, but it's..."
"Too soon?," Piper asked cutting him off. Leo nodded and said, "Our relationship is still young. We can wait and when we do, it'll be perfect." Piper nodded and said, "I get it, Leo."
Things got kind of quiet between them and they just stared a each other for a while.
"Okay, well, umm....I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, Leo," Piper said finally. "Bye," Leo said kissing her cheek. "I can let myself out, you don't have to," Piper said walking out of his room.
