Lessons in Love … Chapter 11 (Surprise)

Leo and Piper's PoV

These past weeks had been terrific, he was in love and he couldn't help the effects it was making on him. Piper was everything to him, she was so special … he had never felt this way before. And he owed it all to Piper- he had passed his test weeks ago and now was back in full swing with the wrestling team and had Piper as his girlfriend to boot, just nobody knew of the last and most important change in life, Piper had wanted to keep it secret he didn't know why … but he loved and respected her. He loved her more then anything he owned- he had never felt this way before. These past two weeks they had been sneaking off together whenever they could. They would run of to the city library at lunchtime, making out at the back among the books and artefacts- trying their best not to giggle every time they would see an up-shot librarian checking why the bookshelf seemed to rattle. It made him laugh just thinking about it. In every free period they would have they'd be together either in Piper's room or his- since their guardians both worked it was easy to meet up with each other. They would go on dates, it wasn't sleazy their relationship, he would pick her up early in the morning and drop her off at the bottom of her road in the evening, he did wish that he could walk her to her door and sit with her in clear sight were everybody could see- but it wasn't like that, and today was one of those days. They were going to the beach today and they were going to have the time of their life he had decided as he picked up his rucksack and head quietly out of the front door. Piper loved the beach- she had often said, he had never taken her- but he was now, it was going to be surprise, he had found a small cove that no one knew of. It was going to be great. He thought as he climbing into his little old red car. This day was going to one to remember he thought as he stuck the key in the ignition.

"Ooo!'" came the sound from Piper's room, she didn't know what wear! Leo said they were going somewhere special, she didn't know what to wear for something special that lasted the whole day and at the same time she needed to be quiet- she shared the room with Phoebe, the only luck Piper had there was that Phoebe was a heavy sleeper. Be she still had to be careful. Prue was like a sniffer dog, sort of speak she thought with a slight giggle. Putting on a white cotton bra and panties she picked out a pair of stonewashed jeans and a white cotton strappy top, and then matched it pink sweater. That would do nicely. Yer great. Lovely- she thought crinkling her nose as she looked at herself in the figure length mirror, just then Phoebe stered. Right time to go she thought quickly, pulling on with a hop her tanned boots she quietly crept downstairs. Going to the phone she wrote a message and ran out the door closing it quietly behind her.

It read:

Grams,

I've gone out- I know it's early

But it needed an early start I'll be back

Later. About 8pm

Love Piper.

Driving in his car, Leo turned on the radio, it was the news so he turned it back off. He couldn't wait to see Piper, he missed her it had only been a day since he last since her as well. He hoped she'd like what he had planned, he thought as he pulled up to the Halliwell Manor. She was standing there on the porch hugging her arms trying to keep warm the 5 in morning cold off of her skin. Then she saw him, her eyes seemed to light up when their eyes connected smiles spread widely across both of their faces. She seemed to skip down the slab steps with a hop, the smile going closer to her eyes as she opened the car door and stepped in placing a firm tender kiss on his lips.

"I missed you" he said after their lips parted

"I missed you too …" she started "… I've been wanting to do that since I got in yesterday"

"Me too" he said as he trailed his index finger over the curve of her lips, watching in great detail how her pace quickened as he did so.

"so … where are we going then?"

"Ah! That would be a surprise"

"Am I dressed right for this surprise"

"Almost perfect"

"Almost?"

"Yes, you could have had something else but it's ok, we can get around that"

"we can?"

"oh yes, when we get there you will see"

"Will I now?"

"Yes, now stop trying to get more out of me. Don't think I don't know what you're doing now" he said with a laugh.

Laughing too, Piper put on the radio.

MUSIC:

Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say … I love.

Take my breath away … Take my breath away.

She truly was something that did to a guy he noticed when he saw the air breeze threw her hair off the open window- just as the sun was coming up. She looked so beautiful, he didn't know why he was surprised- maybe it was because Missy always came out with a face of slap, and at this time she would never come out either, but Piper she was different she was always a fresh face even if she was wearing make-up, and not only that but she hardly spent any time with her family now they were an item, they were always together and that's the way he wanted it- together. With one difference everybody knowing about it, no more sneaking around.

Take my … Take my … Take my breath away … Take my breath away.

Seeing her sighing he realised the song had finished. That was one thing she never failed him on- taking his breath away.

"Well…" he said as they were parking "… we're here!"

Looking around she looked at him "where is here?"

All there seemed to be around them was caves and rocks.

"You'll see" he said laughing.

Helping her out of the car, he wrapped his scarf around her eyes. "wha- what are you doing?" she said worriedly. "shh, you'll see" he out his arms around her to not only keep her stable but close and helped her down the rocky coves onto the smooth beach. She stumbled as her boots touched the sand. He picked her up holding her in his arms.

"Don't worry, I've got you" he said in her ear.

She had no idea where she was- the smell, smelt so familiar but she couldn't place it almost as if it was one she had smelled once before but had not for a while, one that gave her great memories but still not being able to place them. It was daylight now. She could see that though the blindfold like scarf. Then she felt a tug at the back of her head- the scarf was coming loose. When it dropped she could only see the beautiful ocean and sand, it was the beach- she stood there her eyes hungry for what she was seeing.

"Surprise!" he said excitedly.

"oh!" she said happily wrapping her arms around him "… but Leo?"

"what?"

"it's November"

"and you point is?" he said looking at her "don't worry about it- we're here to have fun"

"… but"

"what?"

"I didn't bring a swimsuit with me"

"Oh I'm sure something can be sorted out" he said smiling

"yes maybe we can" she said dropping her pink sweater to the fold out rug.

"don't worry I didn't bring mine either- I thought we could both feel silly swimming in our underwear"

"How thoughtful" she said playing with his belt buckle.

"Yer I thought so" they both laughed.

They played for hours in the sun in just their underwear, in the sun … on the sand. But the day had to come to an end it was late much later then they would normally be- it was already 9.30pm as it was. Pulling their clothes over their still wet underwear they head to the car not knowing they had been watched.

Leo had had such a good day with Piper he thought as he dropped off finally at 12am. He didn't want to let her go as they kissed in his car, touching in places they shouldn't-

"oh you have to go" he said as they broke apart.

"oh know, but I don't want to"

"Goodbye my heart"

"goodbye" she said as she got out of the car, he watched her walk down the street to the manor until he finally left in the car. Going home to find his parents waiting for him. His mother and father were sitting there obliviously tired. Seeing him enter the room his father got up.

"Leo we need to talk"
