Ok, first let me say, this is a lot of me rambling to begin with, feel free
to skip the mumble jumble and head into the story, just some clarifying and
such, and thanking!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
WoW! I've been posting my Friends fic for a month now and I still have a measly 7 reviews and I got so many for this on the first day! Thanks so much all of you!!
-Magical princess~pleeeaaaseee update your story soon, I'm dying to know what happens next!! It's been on my alerts since it started!
-iheartgreenday~great new story you have up here!
-Piper+Leo4eva~I love all your reunions between p and L
...I've been reading all 3 of your stories for a while now and LOVE them! It's soo nice to get compliments from authors who I LOVE!
Thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed though, all of you, you have no idea how happy it makes me! You're comments are really sweet and mean a lot.
CLARIFICATION: Pipery03, and anyone who was confused, I wrote the first chapt at like 2am, so pardon the randomness. Ok, the letter: Earlier, Piper said that Leo was the only thing she needed in life. Then, for some odd reason that even I'm not sure of, I had her say that maybe she needed Leo, and a Coke, the soda. Leo was joking that he was offended that he was just as important as Coke. Then, Leo left the note, the piece she saw first, saying for him, in his heart, Piper was here....and then ALL the way in the bathroom, was the importance of Coke. Showing it didn't even compare. And everyone, and everything else in the world, couldn't fit on all the paper in the house, b/c nothing is as important to him, as she is. I know, stupid, lame. But again, it was late and it seemed cute at the time. Sorry for the confusion.
And pipery-I'm defiantly planning on adding more drama to it, that was sort of just a fluffy cute chapter, (but don't worry those of you who like the fluff, it'll stay) and no offence taking, there's a fine line between "awwww...cute", and "lame." I'll try to stay on target!
I promise to keep it all Piper/Leo'ness, it's what I love for, really. Although, to make it not terribly unrealistic, there may be some sisterly moments and I have yet to decide what I'll do about the whole demon fighting thing. I've hardly EVER written about the magical aspect of their lives in fan fics so we'll see...maybe a bit.
This chapter is just okay, I think. I needed to lay some stuff down before I could go on. So if you think this sucks, which I hope not, make sure to check out the next chapts (if you all still like it!) because I have some good stuff for it. (cuter...promise) Ok, done rambling...enjoy!

Chapter 2- "Dinner for Two"
Piper was doing some paper work in the back office at P3 when she heard a loud crash in the other room. Instinctively, she jumped out of her seat, flung her glasses on the desk and ran out. To her surprise there was nobody in the club but her. She looked around to make sure everything was okay and it certainly seemed to be. As she stood there scanning the room one last time before making her exit, she heard footsteps behind her. She spun around, but again, nothing was there.
"I must be paranoid," she muttered to herself, "there's no one in here." With that she sat back down and got back to her work.
Leo, however, could sense Piper's fear from all the way on the coast of Greece where he was looking after a charge of his. Immediately he orbed out from behind the building he was hiding behind and into the club. The sound of orbs once again startled her.
"Oh my god, Leo." She said as she ran over to him and grabbed his arm.
"Honey are you okay, I could feel your panic, did a demon attack?"
"No, no, everything's fine I'm just a little jumpy that's all. I feel like there's someone here but I looked all over and there's nothing."
Still sensing she was afraid, and not in a magical way, he hugged her.
She smiled and she remembered his cute gesture earlier that morning, "I loved your little note this morning, very sweet."
"It's the truth ya know. Whitelighters can't lie, scouts honor." He said as her held up his fingers.
"Yeah well you don't even like Coke so it's an unfair comparison." She laughed as she realized how stupid she sounded.
"Yeah but I love you so just go with it, okay?"
That was enough, he had persuaded her. "Ok, I should get back to work, are you sure you're okay?" he questioned
"Yup, I think I'll bring this work home though, something about being along, in an empty club...Are you gunna be home for dinner tonight?"
"I'll try, I'll break away whenever I can."
"Okay well try REALLY hard because Phoebe actually has plans tonight for the first time in a long time, with a friend of hers from New York who's in town. She just called. And Prue's working late tonight, so I was going to cook..."
"Say no more, I'll be there. Wouldn't miss it." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and orbed off.
She hurried to gather her papers to bring home and 30 seconds later Leo orbed back in. "You want a lift?"
"What about the car?" she asked.
"We can come get it later, come on." He waited as she grabbed her things and wrapped his arms around her and with that a swirl of lights took them home.
When they got there, Phoebe was still glued to the TV although she had gotten dressed at least, a step in the right direction.
Leo quickly orbed out and Piper slumped down into the couch next to Phoebe.
Phoebe looked up, "You okay?"
"Yeah, just wanted to work from here, that's all. I'm gunna go work for a little while."
"'kay" said the un-phased Phoebe.
Up in her room, Piper was thinking about tonight. She and Leo never got the house to themselves. Since their magical duties always seems to pull them away from whatever dates they were on, they rarely ever got to have dinner alone, with out any interruptions. Naturally, Piper assumed one would happen tonight, but she didn't care. Any time with him was special.
As she folded some of the clothes that had been scattered on the floor from the night before, she thought about how Phoebe was teasing her earlier. Hey, she wasn't always entirely wrong about everything. As she bent down to pick up Leo's flannel shirt it just, for the first time, occurred to her, how often he wore these things. Had he been wearing one today? She couldn't remember, but could only assume. It was hard for her to pay attention to anything other than those intoxicating eyes of his everything she saw them. It just made her melt, right then and there. Every time.
That night, Prue hadn't gotten home yet and Phoebe had just left, in a significantly better mood than she had been in earlier that day. Piper stood over the stove tasting her spaghetti. Nothing special, but Leo always liked it.
Leo orbed in behind her without her even realizing and wrapped his arms around her waist and began to kiss her neck. "Ooooh Leo, hello!"
He snuck around to the other side of her and took her hands from their place on the bowl of pasta and held them tightly. He slowly leaned in and kissed her more passionately than either could remember.
"Good day?" Piper questioned.
"Oh yea, best day of my life as of," he said as he glanced at his watch, "49 seconds ago."
"Well good, because I made your favorite."
"mmm..yum. The house looks gorgeous, what's the occasion?"
"Nothing, just a little candles, music, romantic Italian food...just you. Me. Alone. In a big empty house."
"Why Ms. Halliwell, someone's has some expectations don't they?"
"Who knows, now sit down." She pushed him over to the table and forced him into the seat. She put her arms around his shoulders and whispered, "Wait here."
Leo sat patiently waiting as he heard her footsteps again.
Piper slowly slid into the room wearing a long black dress emphasizing every curve in her body. Leo's jaw dropped and just as he was about to get out of his seat and walk over to her, she sat down next to him.
"Wow!" was all he could manage to get out of his mouth, "When did you get that?"
"I found it."
"You just found that beautiful dress lying around?"
"Yep," She looked down, "It was mom's. I found in it an old box in the basement. Couldn't help but resist trying some stuff on. Most of it didn't fit, seeing as how I didn't inherit any height from her what-so- ever."
"Well I'm sure if she looked anything near as amazing as you do in it, she must have turned some heads."
"I'll bet." She paused for a good minute before saying anything more, "I'm scared."
"Of what sweetie?" he said as he took a sip of champagne and cleared his throat.
"Everyone always told me, all my life, that I was the most like mom out of the three of us. And, she died at 28..."
Taking the hint, he finished her thought, "And you'll be 28 in 4 months."
"Exactly."
"Piper, just because you're a lot like your mother, doesn't in any way mean that what happened to her will happen to you." He tried to reassure her.
"I know, and I know it's stupid but I can't help but be afraid. Who knows, if could be some sort of karma or, god knows what."
"Look, Piper, there's no way I'm letting you go in months, years, or ever. You're stuck here with me."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
That brought out the tiniest smile and she agreed not to think about it anymore, at least for the time being.
"Okay, sorry to put a downer on tonight, dig in." She handed him the bowl of pasta and watched him pick out a strand of spaghetti and slurp it up, before putting a spoonful on his plate.
"Delicious." He gave her the bowl and poured her some champagne.
It was getting darker out now and the candles picked up each strand of Piper's hair. Leo laughed when a shadow cast on her face gave her a big black spot right across her nose.
"What's so funny?"
"You."
The two of the talked for more than and hour as they dined and after they had finished off Piper's chocolate mousse dessert, they moved into the living room and flicked the TV on. Leo sat down and patted the spot next to him and motioned for Piper to come over. She sat down right beside him, leaving no space between them. He grabbed a blanket off the love seat and draped it around them. She curled her feet up underneath her and snuggled into his arms.
After 10 minutes of frustrating flipping over and over of the 100 channels they had, Leo gave into the defeat that there was nothing good on. He took the remote away from Piper's hand and put it down on the floor.
"Hey what are you doing?"
"We don't need TV." He covered her mouth with his and moved his hands up her back. They parted when they heard the front door slam.
"Don't ask!" Phoebe yelled and stormed upstairs.
"I think it's safe to say this night is over." Piper sighed.
"I wouldn't count on it." He kissed her and pulled her up into the kitchen, motioning towards the table, he said, "We'll clean up in the morning." They walked upstairs into their room, hand in hand, and closed the door behind them.
