Lessons in Love … Chapter 10 (Don't you realise I …)

Leo and Piper's PoV

"Piper? … Piper? … are you okay?" Leo said as he tapped her check lightly, hardly being able to concentrate on waking her up when she seemed to lye there so peacefully. Leo had wiped the gash on her lower lip with a napkin he had found in the draw when he had took her to his home and had put her on the couch. He honestly couldn't believe Missy would do that to someone who she did care would be there or not after all she didn't mean anything to her, and if she really was over him then why was she bothering to try and hurt Piper and obviously from what had happened earlier that day it meant in more then an emotion sense. Piper was such a sweet person she didn't deserve that kinda shit, infact she didn't deserve any kind she never did anything to hurt anyone so why was she being targeted? Oh he did know- wait! Oh god had he been that obvious with his growing feelings for her? Had that been the reason why Missy had socked her in the jaw? Jeez he hoped not. He thought as he brushed his fingers over her lightly swollen lip, the swelling had gone been down a lot from when Missy had done it. It had bled a little but it had stopped after a while and besides he needed to get her out of there with that crowd who knows what would have happened. He had been enraged when he had seen what had been going on, all he could think of doing was to scoop her up into his arms and save her, just like a super hero, yeah just like those guys in the comics those powerful dudes who could make everything better for everyone and that was all he wanted to do make everything better at least for Piper anyway. Piper meant so much to him, he hadn't felt this for anyone before in his life. He had been feeling the way for a long time now and since their night together he couldn't stop thinking about her, when they had spent their night together he had been feeling so confused- no he hadn't. He had felt all those emotions coming back, he needed her he-

"Piper" he said quietly as she started to stir, "Piper"

Oh god, her jaw hurt like hell she realised as she cursed under her breath. The last she could remember- oh god, Missy she had punched her. And Leo … Leo had saved her. She could remember how he'd lifted her above the crowd- in his big, strong arms. God he had really taken charge, if he hadn't come when he had she didn't know where she be now, probably in a ditch somewhere she thought grimly. Leo had really come in for her, maybe he did care and wasn't like other guys- god where had that just come from of course he was, maybe. Oh she didn't know what she thought, all she knew was that she needed to get out of there, she couldn't broken again. It had taken so much strength not to crumble after their night together if anything like that happened to her again she'd probably be referred to a mad house other wise known as a Sanatorium. He had seemed to play with her heart, when he hadn't done anything at all- well probably not that he knew of anyway. Why was she thinking about this now just because he saved her life. Fat chance of that! She didn't mean anything to him, how could she? She was- her! And now here she was lying on her back looking up into his deep green eyes- oh god what was she like.

"Piper?" he said looking down at her "Are you ok?" His eyes seemed to be an even deeper turquoise as she hazily looked upon him.

"Piper?"

"uh- I'm, I'm fine" She said trying to lift her head up from the couch.

"You really shouldn't strain yourself getting up so quick"

"S'ok I'll be-" she paused as she slowly dizzied "fine" she said getting back.

"No your not, know lye back down and relax"

"but-"

"No I mean it"

"er … oh okay"

She said slowly laying her head back down, she couldn't understand it she had only be socked in jaw hadn't she?

"I thought it was only my lip" she said gently dabbing her finger over her incise.

"It was but when she hit you, you hit your head on the locker then onto the floor so that's probably why you feel so weird" he said getting a wet cloth for her mouth.

"Thank you" she said as he placed it on her lip, keeping his hand over the wet towel-like fabric soaking up the slight trickles of blood into it.

"it's ok I can do it-"

"no it's okay it needs pressure, and you still seem a bit weak."

"ok" she said as she felt his hand come over hers and pressed lightly onto her lip.

"thanks"

"that's ok" he said with a smile "I want to"

"you want to?"

"yes" he said taking the cloth away from her face and looking into her eyes "I care about you Piper, I've cared for you for a while but till that night I didn't really have the guts to do anything about it, but I want to Piper I want to be with you, I want to care for you, I want you Piper"

"Leo?" she said as he held onto her hand.

"You want me?"

"Of course I do" he said griping onto her hand "don't you realise I love you?"

"love me?"

Leaning closer to her "Yes Piper I love you"

He said as he lowered in to her face and he kissed her tenderly on the lips, softly brushing over the gash on her lip. Exploring her mouth with his tongue finding her mouth as sweet has it was that night. He did love her, he was on cloud nine with her and now it was coming all in. He thought as reached under her light turquoise tank top up to her lacy bra, unclipping it with ease letting it fall from under her top.

Piper never thought she would hear that come from his lips and if so she'd never thought it would for her. Now she was ready.
