"I'll see you here, tomorrow night." Leo mumbled with a smile as he broke
off their final kiss. It was one o'clock in the morning and Piper was
leaving his apartment after a dinner date that went exceptionally well.
"Ok...just one more kiss and I'll go." She replied, leaning up and hauling him into yet another kiss. She pulled away, patted his chest and smiled. "You really are a great guy do you know that?"
Leo shrugged and returned her pretty grin. "Hmm...so I've been told. Now shoo before Prue sends out a search party." He joked, hugging her one last time and leading her out of the door.
"I'm gone...I love you." She muttered shyly, grabbing her coat.
"I love you too baby, I love you too." He whispered as she walked out of the door, turning around when she got to the elevator to give him a smile and a wave.
And when the stars are falling, I'll keep calling
I will still love you
And when your dreams are fading, I'll be waiting
I will still love you
As he saw the elevator door open and her step in, he closed his apartment door and leant against it. He never thought it was manly to do that, but he didn't realise that he could have such an amazing night as that was.
After a few minutes of thinking and smiling, he stepped away from the door and began to clear away the glasses and wine bottles. All he wanted to do was run out of the apartment block, to his car and follow her, just to bring her back. He didn't think he'd last until the next night; he needed to be with her.
As much as this idea appealed to Leo, he knew there had to be some form of self-control involved in their relationship. He decided to just finish tidying up and go to bed, that way the next morning would come twice as fast.
Across town, Piper was approaching her apartment in her 4x4. Her heart was telling her to turn back and drive to Leo's; she couldn't bear to be without him, not now that they were building their relationship back up. But her head, the most sensible part of her body as always, was telling her that doing so wouldn't help matters at all. She couldn't just run back to him and stay there overnight; it just wouldn't be right, not right then. She knew she'd have to hold out until the next evening...however hard that might be.
Back at Leo's, Leo was just about ready to turn in for the night when he spotted the velvet box on the cabinet in his bedroom. He slowly walked over to it, a small, happy smile playing on his lips. He clutched it in his palm as he crashed onto his bed. He opened the box, revealing the beautiful ring laying carefully inside, gleaming for the whole world to see. "What do I do?" He thought to himself with a soft sigh. "It's my dream, my fantasy, to get down on one knee and ask that gorgeous, amazing, caring woman to marry me. But how do I do it after what we've been through? Will she think I'm only doing it so that she'll stay with me? Or will she be happy and say yes?" You are my summer breeze my winter sombre, my springtime sun oh
my autumn touch of gold
"I can't do it." He murmured. "Not yet...we'll hold this out for a while. We're in a good place right now, her and me. We can survive a little longer until it's the right time. But she'll be my wife...one day she will definitely be my wife."
You are my sky, my rain a way which my love flows cuz you're all
The smile of my heart and the breathe of my soul
Piper walked into the house to find Phoebe sat on her couch. At first she took no notice of it, but as she hung her coat up she turned back around and frowned. "I'm sorry." She mumbled. "But didn't you move out of this place a good year ago?"
Phoebe smiled and rolled her eyes. "Well ya...I did. But Nathaniel is away tonight and I just didn't want to stay alone, I wanted company. But as you can see that didn't work out to well." She returned, motioning to the quiet, deserted house.
Piper laughed and sat next to her, clutching her little sister's hand and resting her feet on the coffee table. "So.." She said cheerfully and loudly. "Where's my amazing big sister."
"SHUT UP!" came a sleepy voice from what seemed to be Prue's bedroom. "Some people actually work on weekdays Piper!!"
Piper chuckled again and shook her head. "Wow...I can see why you bummed out on company tonight. So I'll stay up with you." She declared.
Phoebe threw her head back and sighed. "Thank God!! I'm not spending the night alone." She looked up and smiled. "Where have you been tonight then stop-out?"
"I was at Leo's. We got back together, which you knew. But we just talked and he made a fabulous meal. We kissed a little bit, joked around. It was fun." She said with a smile.
"Wow." Phoebe replied, nudging her. "I see the clock a tockin' sis."
Piper stared at her, suppressing a grin. "Phoebe that's gross. I'm not quite ready for kids yet thank you very much."
"Yeah, I know you're not hon. But just be careful ok? I don't want you to get hurt. Relationships can go....wide of the mark, so to speak."
Piper put her head in her hands. "Phoebe we talked about this. Leo and I are fine now, we're over it, we're moving on. It's our relationship and we're working through it. We're just taking it slowly, taking things as they come and when they come, going with the flow."
"I know it's just.....no matter how hard you try, you can't forget that break- up...it's not possible. It was a major part of your relationship, a sore point. There's always going to be some kind of dispute over it." Phoebe mumbled, not wanting to upset or hurt her sister. They were very close, always had been, they just had a special connection which included looking out for each other.
"No Phoebe, there wasn't even any dispute when we WERE broken up. We both knew it wasn't over. True, we're not planning on getting married anytime soon, but we're getting there. We're happy...I'm happy....that's all that matters to me." Piper replied, squeezing Phoebe's hand and giving her a thin smile as she stood up. "I'll be fine. So don't worry about me ok?"
AN: I know this is pretty short...and I apologise a trillion times for that!! I just wanted a chapter that wasn't all P/L...but honestly...I think I find it more fun and much easier to write the P/L chapters.... so expect a LOT more of them...k? So... now that that's over. I openly accept the fact that I will probably be kidnapped, stoned at the cross, decapitated or maybe even burnt at the stake for this chapter...see...I'm a very open person!! Now.... who wants to volunteer? COME ON...DON'T BE SHY!! Ok...maybe I'm just a little too hyper right now!! Can you believe that I...the most hyper person in Swindon with the craziest personality and weirdest friends can come up with P/L fluff? Well hey...we all gots a guilty pleasure.... romantic writing is mine!! So...ya...I'm just gonna go now...SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING FOLKS!! (
