A/N: This chapter does contain brief love making, I don't go into drastic details, but I just thought I'd warn everyone.

Piper stood in front of the mirror admiring her outfit, white collared shirt, black skirt, black boots and her hair in its stylish wavy fashion, perfect. It should be after all since it had taken Piper two hours to choose it.

Tonight she was going on her fifth date this week with Tyler and she couldn't be more nervous. Sure, she'd been nervous with the past dates, but those had all been friendly get to-gethers, tonight they were really going on a date. Tyler said they were going to go to an elegant restaurant by the bay followed by a quiet walk down the pier and ending with a little romantic dancing at the jazz club across town. Just thinking about how romantic that would be got Piper aroused. She swore she could feel her heart beating in ways she hadn't felt in a long time whenever she was with Tyler. He made her feel special and she loved that. Of course there was a little obstical standing in their way. Although they hadn't talked about it Piper knew they both thought about if from time to time. Tyler being a psychiatrist is technically not allowed to be dating Piper, his patient. Since the time they had started going out Piper tried not to go to his office many times and was actually considering never going again. It was just too weird and she'd rather have him as a boyfriend then as a doctor. Maybe she'd bring up the subject tonight, but she doubted it.

Suddenly the door bell rang and Piper hurried downstairs. When she opened the door she was stunned to see Tyler standing there, a dozen red roses in his hands.

"Tyler! What are you doing here? I thought we were meeting at the pier."

"We were, but I thought this would be a much better surprise. I'm just glad you're still here." Tyler said laughing

"Well as long as you're here would you like to come in?"

"Well we really should get going, but I'll go inside to help you put these in water." Tyler said handing Piper the roses

Piper gently put her nose to the delicate roses, inhaling their beauty and charm.

"Thank you Tyler, they're gorgeous."

"Nothing better for such a magnificent lady."

Piper felt her heart skip a beat. He was so sweet to her. Piper almost couldn't believe she'd found a man that made her feel the way Leo had. That had to count for something. She was sure this would last and if it didn't she'd damn well try to make it.

The song ended and the DJ declared it the end of the night.

"Aww.... over already." Piper moaned

"The band will be back again tomorrow if you want to check them out again."

"No. No, not the band, our date."

"Oh." Tyler responded surprised

"Don't seem so surprised."

"I didn't seem...."

"Alright! Alright! If you won't admit to it."

"Fine. I'll prove to you I wasn't surprised. Want to come back to my place?"

Piper felt her heart jump again. This was really what she wanted.

"Sure, I'd love to."

Arriving at Tyler's apartment was like arriving at a presidential suite. Everywhere Piper looked she saw expensive artwork, leather couches, a large window facing the city, you name it, he had it. Piper tried to act cool about it and not show how intimidated she was by it all, however, her frequent head movements and large fish tank eyes couldn't fool anyone. She looked like a little girl at a candy store. Seeing her this way, made Tyler laugh.

"Like it?" he asked, while trying to keep a straight face.

"Love it!" This place is magnificent!

"Well thank you. How about we take the grand tour?"

"Sure, lead the way."

"And upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms."

The first bedroom was a guest room.

"....so if you ever sleep over you can stay here."

"And where would you stay?"

"Well, I happen to have the greatest room ever." Tyler said as he led Piper towards his room.

"Please forgive this mess. Just keep in mind that I am a single guy and besides my mom doesn't come till Tuesday." He said laughing.

Tyler opened the door and they stepped inside.

"Pretty nice huh?"

"Very. Now, what if I wanted to sleep here?"

"Well, you'd have to pay a small fee." Tyler said as he edged closer to Piper

"What sort of fee?" Piper asked.

"A small one." Tyler said, pulling Piper towards him, but still keeping eye contact.

"Alright well...." Piper started to say, but didn't get a chance to as Tyler's lips brushed against hers.

At first the kisses were slow and passionate, but soon they became quick and heated.

Slowly, Tyler began to unbutton Piper's shirt. And Piper began to pull at Tyler's shirt, causing the buttons to fall off. Their hands moved up and down each others bodies. Sweat trickled down their skin as Tyler entered her. Happiness and love filled Piper inside and out. For hours Piper and Tyler continued, just taking in each other. Neither one cared about the consequences. It was just the two of them and that was enough.

* * *

Piper awoke to someone caressing her body. Looking down she saw two fingertips tracing small circles around her belly button. It felt nice and Piper wondered who it was and more importantly where she was. Curious, Piper looked up to see a sleepy Tyler looking down at her. Instantly the events of last night again filled Piper's head and panic raced through her. She had slept with him, that was against the rules. He was going to lose his job because of her.

"Morning beautiful." Tyler whispered into Piper's ear as he moved her head and leaned in for a kiss.

It felt good and Piper stayed there for a few seconds. But she knew she couldn't so she quickly pulled away.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

"I can't...."

"You can't what? What's wrong Piper?"

"You, me..... you're my....my doctor...."

"Hush. It's going to be okay, I promise. No one will ever find out and if they do I'll burn your files. I care about you Piper, I want us to work."

"It's not that easy..."

"But it can be."

"No. No...." Piper said as she got up off the bed, the sheet in which she had been covered in falling to the floor.

"Wait, Piper." Tyler said, getting up as well.

Quickly Piper found her clothes, which were discarded in various places on the floor and proceeded to put them on.

Tyler ran up and tried to stop her.

"Piper, please...."

All Piper could do was shake her head as the tears that were welled up inside her soul began to surface on the glass of her eye.

Rapidly she ran out of the bedroom and made her way to the front door. Fumbling with the knob for a few seconds she finally managed to get the door open and made her way to the elevator. It seemed to take what seemed like years, but eventually it arrived. As Piper walked onto the elevator Tyler came running towards her. His clothes were sloppily put on and he didn't even have shoes on. Running towards the elevator he approached just as the doors were closing. He knew he only had one more chance to get Piper to stay, so he relied on the only thing he hoped would help him, he said what he felt in his heart.

"Piper, please, don't go, I....I love you!"

The doors closed and Tyler knew it was the end, never again would he see Piper. Turning back towards his apartment he cried tears of loss.
