Chapter 15 - "Wow you're hot like fire."

Prue and Bane wanted to go out, but they didn't want to leave Piper there on her own. Piper told

them that she would be fine, and she promised not to go walkies while they're not around. After

some coaxing, Piper had convinced Bane and Prue to go out and have fun.

"I don't feel right about this." Prue said.

"I don't really either but we have to take a chance Prue." They both knew that Alec could be

around, but he hadn't been spotted by them in a while and the town seemed pretty quiet again.

"I know. I just don't want Piper to get hurt. What if he goes back home and hurts her even more?"

"He wont. I think he'll be expecting you, Phoebe and Paige to be there waiting for him. Besides,

if he was around, the town would be loud and rowdy again like it was last time." Bane put his arm

around Prue to make her feel safe. Prue trusted Bane and he was right about Piper being safe for

now. They walked off together, heading in no particular direction.

(Halliwell Home)

"Knock, knock." A man was at the door. Piper was alseep so she didn't hear him. He banged on the

door this time and it woke Piper up.

She groaned "Alright, alright, i'm coming! Just a sec." She knew she promised the others that she

wouldn't get up and around but what if it was important like a guest coming to visit?

The guy didn't hear her answer and let himself in. He was coming around the corner and so was she.

He stepped around it and looked at her.

"Leo!" Piper couldn't believe it was him. She lost her breath again and started to fall. He caught

her and picked her up.

"I had to come back, i couldn't get you out of my head. Then when Nate told me you were hurt bad

i had to see if you were okay." Leo said as he carried her to the couch. Piper looked up at him

and felt great. *I can't believe he came back.. Oh no, do i feel hot all over.*

"I think i'm gonna pass out." Piper was out before he placed her down.

"Piper? Piper? Wow you're hot like fire." *Uh, okay Leo, don't panic. You're a doctor, look for

some medicine, there's got to be some around here somewhere!* Leo looked around and found the

injections and instructions in the cabinet. "Phew, this will be easy." He fixed Piper up with a

shot but she woke up midway through it.

"Wha?..uff." It hurt, she hated these.

"It's okay, this will help you. Just relax." Leo had finished. Something in his voice calmed Piper

down.

"Here we go again." Piper felt comlpetely calm.

"Sorry?"

"Everytime i get given this stuff, i see whitelights all around." She smiled at him. "You look

good like that."

"Thankyou." He blushed, and he wasn't sure if she meant it or if it was the medicine talking.

Piper now felt no pain and felt she could say anything. "Could you take me to my room?"

"Deffinatley!.. I mean yeah of course." Leo wanted her but held back as best he could. He picked

her up and she had her arms around his neck tight so their faces were close. She guided him to

her room. She was tired now.

"Nice bedroom." Leo liked it. He sat on her bed after putting her on it. It was a double bed.

"Thanks." Piper began to drift off but she tried to stay awake. She finally had the man she

wanted with her and didn't want to let him out of her sight.

"I missed you. I wanted to come back here."

"So why didn't you then, Leo?"

"It was a mess out there. Many people had injuries similar to your's."

"and Danny's? You remember Danny don't you?" Piper said with a hint of mischief.

"Hmm lets see - arogant, tried to take you for himself and was an ass even though i healed him

- vaguely, vaguely."

Piper and Leo laughed. Piper eyes started to close.

"I don't want to fall asleep, i want to talk to you." Piper said.

"It's okay. I will be here when you wake up." He lay on her bed next to her and she snuggled into

his chest and was out like a light.

(Local Restaurant)

Cole and Phoebe had finished their lunch. Phoebe always thought lunch was a cheap imitation of

dinner but she came anyway, she really wanted to see Cole.

"I'm glad you came Phoebe."

"I'm glad you asked Cole."

Phoebe and Cole left the restaurant and went for a walk down by the stream where Cole and Paige

had met. It took them a while before they had reached it.

"This place is beautiful Cole, where did you find it?"

"I found it right here Phoebe."

"Ohh right, what i meant to say was - how did you find it" Phoebe felt like an idiot, an idiot in

love.

"Well i was walking one day, hoping to run into you and instead i ran into your sister Paige.

I loved it, the stream not Paige - she was nice though, and i had to come back. It's a nice

distraction from everything."

"Yeah, well we should come here more often."

Cole and Phoebe spent the rest of the day there.

(Middle of nowhere - lol)

"It's been great to finally get out and talk to you without anything else interrupting." Bane

told Prue.

"Yeah i know, i mean we could talk before but that was at home. My sisters are very, very good

eavesdroppers. I should know, i'm one of them." Prue smiled at the thought.

"Yes you are, through and through. I wish my family had the chance to be as close." Bane paused.

"And now i get the chance to be close with you." He looked at the woman beside him and held her

close.

"Yes you will be." Prue said and then she kissed Bane like there was nothing else that mattered.
