It's been six months since then, and I'm getting a hold on the whole good-
witch thing. They have this book called The Book of Shadows. It's really
cool, but you can't use it for personal gain.
I went into the kitchen, where Piper had just finished baking muffins for breakfast. "Planning on going somewhere?" Piper asked.
"Yeah actually, I am going to go visit that guy I've been seeing," I said.
"Oh, Robbie?" she said.
"Yeah that's him," I said.
"You really like this guy don't you?"
"Well, yeah. He's really sweet. He's always been there for me."
She smiled and looked at me.
"What?" I asked laughing.
"You sound like me when I talk about Leo," she said.
I laughed again. "I gotta go; he'll be here soon, see you later."
"Yep," she called after me.

I was having a blast with Robbie. He's really sweet; he's tall, dark and handsome. He's been through a lot in his life. He's seventeen years old, and he lives on his own. His dad left him and his mom when he was younger and his mother died two years ago. He was sent to live with his uncle. But his uncle hit him when he got drunk so he ran away and moved to San Francisco. He works at a factory... I know it's not the ideal job, but he needs to make a living. I wish I knew how he would react to my being a witch.
So, now we sat on the floor in his living room, talking about anything and everything. A box of pizza lay open next to us.
"Why do you stay here?" Robbie asked me.
"Well, it's not like I have much of a family to go back to. I came here to find my parents, but they died with in, like, a year of each other. And then I met you, so I stayed with my aunts," I told him.
He put his hand on the side of my face. "I love you, Payton."
I was shocked, but only for a moment. "I love you, too," I said.
He smiled and I lay back on the floor.
"What's wrong?" he asked, lying next to me.
"I'm tired, what time is it?" I asked, turning on my side to face him.
"Late, I should take you home," he said.
I sighed sleepily. "Five more minutes."
He laughed. "Okay."
I woke up the next morning, surprised to find out that I was still at Robbie's apartment. I sat up and looked around. Robbie woke up when I moved from his arms.
"Payton what's wrong?' he asked sitting up.
"Nothing, my aunts are probably worried about me," I said. "I should go home."
"Payton, nothing happened last night. I wouldn't do that to you," he said.
"Thanks, but I really should get back. What time is it?" I looked at my watch and groaned; it was noon.
"Are they going to be cool about it?"
"I don't know. They might be, but they might not be," I said.
