The next morning, Piper was up with the birds, fully dressed and raring to
go. She was tidying the kitchen and living room when Prue walked in
sloppily, half asleep and still clad in her plaid pyjama pants and strap
top.
Prue looked up when she heard movement, which was a few seconds after she walked in as she was barely registering that her eyes were open, let alone that someone was in the room. "Wow." She whistled when she saw Piper, and managed a smile. "Someone get lucky last night? This is the happiest I've seen you this week."
Piper turned around and pretended to scowl. "No I did NOT get lucky, how crude can you get Prue?" She teased. "I just saw Leo last night. It went well and I think we're going to be able to work through this. We talked and went for a walk along the beach. It was beautiful." She sat down at the table, resting her chin on her hand, a dreamy, faraway look in her warm brown eyes.
Prue sat next to her and beamed excitedly. "Yay...a Piper and Leo reconciliation." She nearly screeched. "So... tell me little sister of mine. How did it go?"
Piper smiled and shook her head. She KNEW that Prue would want details. And If Prue wanted details... you couldn't imagine what Phoebe and Paige would be like. "We met at a really nice restaurant, it was a damn expensive one might I add. But we didn't eat there. We were talking a lot... as usual, so before the waiter came over we skid addled. It just wasn't the right place for us. We were laughing and joking all night out on the beach and it was just...." She paused. "You know when you keep making eye contact with someone and you can just tell that it's going somewhere? It was like that...I think things are going to work out again. We didn't kiss or anything, I wasn't ready for that, I just wanted to see if he still wanted me."
Prue leaned over and squeezed Piper's hand. "Piper, it's so unbelievably obvious that he would take you back. He loves you more than life, you know that. He's picked you over his brother and sister on a few occasions too." She said with a smile.
Piper smiled. "Thanks Prue. I think I'm going to go and call him."
Prue grabbed Piper's arm when she made an attempt to stand up. "Ah ah." She warned. "It's seven am...I know Leo wants you back, but I think you waking him at this hour is enough to change the poor guys mind."
Piper chuckled as she stood up, walking towards the kitchen counter. "You've got a pretty good point there. Coffee?" She asked.
Prue's mouth fell open and she pointed to herself. "Do you even HAVE to ask?"
"Hmmm...." Piper mumbled, examining Prue's face. "I guess not."
As Piper was making the coffee and Prue was flicking her way through an old issue of Woman's Own, the telephone rang. Prue and Piper turned around at the same time and said "I'll get it"
Piper ran for the telephone and picked it up. "Hello, Piper here" She answered, poking her tongue out at Prue.
"Oh hey Piper." Leo said, obviously stunned. "I wasn't expecting you to be up, I was going to leave a message."
Piper flopped happily into a chair, crossing her legs. "Well...I got a good night's sleep last night so I was up pretty damn early" she said with fake enthusiasm.
Leo laughed. "Well... I was just wondering... do you feel like getting out of your flat for a while again tonight? I mean, I kind of hoped you'd come over to watch a film or something. I'll cook." He added quickly.
She smiled broadly. She pulled the phone away from her ear, looked at Prue and whispered, "He's so perfect" As she put the phone back to her ear she faintly heard Prue reply with, "Yeah... no need to rub it in."
"I'd love to come over Leo. Do you need me to bring anything?" She asked, a loving hint developing in her voice. She could feel herself falling for him again. Just hearing his voice made her go weak at the knees.
"Nope... just yourself. Is seven ok for you?" He asked her, with the soft voice that Piper could listen to for hours.
"Sure...I'll be there. Thanks Leo." She replied. "So...tonight then."
"Tonight." He returned. She could have sworn she heard a seductive tone come through then. But she dismissed it; it was probably just what she wanted to hear.
My love for you will never end
You'll always be a part of me
As long as time keeps
on passing by
You'll always be my baby boy.
Piper hung up the phone and walked back to the table in a daze. "Wow" she murmured. "I love him more than ever now."
"Awwwwww" Prue whispered with a huge smile. She may be single, but just the smile on her sister's faces when they talked about their lover's was enough to tide her over. She was so happy for Phoebe and Paige, they were married to gorgeous, rich, successful guys... who wouldn't be happy for them? But Leo... Leo was something special. He meant an awful to all of the sister's. But since Piper had been with Leo, Prue had feared for her sister's life. "What if they broke up?" She'd always thought to herself. Piper had fallen hard for Leo since day one, how would she cope without him?
Prue had always worried that she'd be depressed and hurt herself or something. But now... now everything had changed. She knew that Piper and Leo's love for each other could conquer all. They'd overcome the worst, and they'd moved on. Piper loved Leo all the more for it, and Prue could only imagine that Leo loved Piper more too.
AN: Well...that was kind of a filler chapter... Whatever you want to call it. Tell you what... I'll explain. I thought I should sort of... zoom in on Piper's feelings about all of this instead of just the P/L scenes. I've already done a lot of work on Leo's character, so it was only fair to give Piper some airtime. Well... I hope you liked it...I'm sure by the phone call in this chapter that you know what will be next!! ( R&R PLZ!! JESSI XX.. P.S... for some insane reason I managed to get inspiration from Hanson-Weird and Aqua-Cartoon Heroes. Call me weird...but those songs are damn helpful!! RIGHT LOZ?!?!?!?! LOL
