Piper rolled over to find Leo next to her. She sat bolt upright in shock, a look of fear on her face. "Where the hell am I?" she thought. She looked around the room, realising where she was. Then she looked down and at the scene around her. "Uh oh." She whispered, lying back down and putting her hands to her face. Once she was over the initial shock of finding herself in Leo's bed, she turned to look at him.
He looked so cute when he slept, like a little baby. He didn't hog the bed or spread out, he almost curled up into an invisible ball. She stroked his arm and saw his eyes flutter open. When he saw her looking at him he gave her a small smile. "Like what you see?" He whispered to her.
She smiled back. "I've been here before you know...lots of times...lots and LOTS of times actually." She mumbled, hugging him. "I didn't mean to wake you, sorry."
"NO it's ok...it's getting on anyway." He replied, straining his neck to look at the clock. "See... 9:45... it's getting on. What do you say we get showered or whatever, and go out for breakfast."
"Sounds good...is that pile of my stuff still here?" She asked.
"Yup...in your drawer, as always." He mumbled, pulling her close. "You are amazing...and I love you so much" He whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." She replied, kissing him. She hugged herself against him, never wanting to leave. She didn't want to go out to breakfast; she wanted to stay there. She didn't want to go home, she wanted to stay there.
"What's wrong baby?" Leo asked, sensing Piper's hesitation.
"Nothing...it's just.... I'm so happy right now." Piper replied, nestling her head on Leo's chest. "This is just better than I thought it could be, I don't think I could be any happier."
"I'm glad to hear it." He murmured softly. "Because I'm happy too....very, very, very happy."
Piper giggled and looked up at him. "You could have left the last very off you know, now I'm thinking you're not happy."
Leo feigned anger. "Not happy? Not happy huh? Who'd be unhappy when they've got you?"
Piper snickered a little. "I get your point. Come on, let's get up."
Leo pretended to try and get up. "Oh no...OH NO!! I CANT MOVE!!" he exclaimed
Piper pulled him and he sat up. "Come on Leo!" She whined. "I'm hungry!!"
"Ok ok." He said with a sigh. "Lets get ready and go on out for the day."
That night when Piper returned home, she was smiling from ear to ear and positively glowing. She saw Prue curled up on the sofa with a book and bounced down next to her. "Hey sis." She said cheerfully. "Nice to see you, to see you nice."
Prue put her book down and let her glasses fall onto her nose. "Who are you and what have you done with the toned down Piper?" She asked.
Piper swatted her and chuckled. "I'm Piper, I'm just a very...happy...Piper." She paused. "God that word has been overused today." She mumbled.
Prue smiled knowingly and cheekily. "Piper, someone wasn't in their room last night...at all....all night long."
"Really?" Piper returned, pretending to be confused. "Who was that? I mean...it could have been Paige or Phoebe, but wouldn't Nathaniel and Aston have realised that their wives were missing?"
Prue shook her head and grinned. "Give it up Piper, just give it up. I KNOW where you were last night, I may be single right now, but that doesn't make me stupid. You were at Leo's." She said in a slightly sing-song voice.
"So what?" Piper replied. "So I had a little fun....who cares...?"
"Not me." Prue said. "I'm just saying. And I could tell the minute you walked through that door anyway." She paused, thinking of what to say next. "So...do you think you'll...."
"......nooooooooo" Piper interrupted, vigorously shaking her head. "No no no...I don't think we would... would we? I mean... it's such a big step but...we've...then...oh my god... what if?"
"PIPER!" Prue exclaimed, grabbing her hands. "Enough with the crypticness ok?" She asked. "I didn't mean to freak you out. I was just saying. I mean; you've been together what...ten years? Nearly eleven? And you've always been so right for each other...it was a perfectly normal question."
"Sorry." Piper mumbled. "It just scared me for a sec there. Never mind, it would be nice, but I don't think we're ready for that yet." She stood up and hugged Prue. "I'll see you in the morning, I'm off to get some sleep."
"Oh yeah." Prue joked, cheekily. "You're probably really tired ya know, no sleep at all last night."
"Prue, bite me." Piper returned. "Miss Celibacy."
"HEY!!!!" Prue shouted, watching Piper retreat into her room.
Piper crashed onto her bed and smiled, thinking about her conversation with Prue. "What if Prue's right?" She thought to herself, grinning madly. "What if Leo and I DO get married?" She rolled over and fell asleep, thinking about Leo.
