Everything Changes … Chapter 5 (The Date)

Piper's PoV

Piper had been so happy when Dan had asked her out, she had hardly been going to the school a week and already she was going out with a totally hot guy. Whoa! She thought as she was looking through her wardrobe. But she just could help but think of Leo. After their brief talk he had left, without talking to anyone else he had just left. She had been so thankful when Dan had come after Leo had merely said 'hello' after all that was all he could get in, Dan had already come to her rescue by then and Leo had gone after. That's when Dan had asked her out, he wanted to take her to a fancy restaurant. She hadn't been sure at the time but he had persuaded her in the end, now she couldn't wait! Tonight was the night and she had been looking through her wardrobe for about fifteen minutes now. And then she came across this red dress Prue had bought her last Christmas, this will have to do- she thought to herself grimly.

Throwing the dress attached to the hanger on the bed she headed for the shower. Turning on the tap on she ran her fingers through the flowing water checking for temperature the she shut it and entered the main room.

"Has anyone seen my body wash?" she said as she raised her voice so that everyone would be able to hear.

Just then Lou popped her head around the corner of her door leading to her bedroom

"Here you go" she said as she through over the body wash "Sorry…" she continued "I forgot to give it back"

"Oh that's okay!" she said with a smile.

Leaning back in Lou quickly whipped her head back "So … how was your night? Nice party?"

"It was good" Piper said with a smile

"Who's the guy?" she sad cheekily

"What guy?" she said coyly

"Don't play stupid with me" she said jokily

"Who's playing?" she said as they both burst into laughter.

"Dan"

"Ooooh really?" Lou said sort of concerned.

"What?" she started "what is it?"

"Well …" she began "I hope you don't think I'm butting in-"

"Spilt it out, what is it? Please tell me"

"It's just that I don't want you to get hurt, he was in my high school" she paused "it's just that he's … a bit of a playboy that's all"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep that's it"

Piper couldn't help but think Lou wasn't telling her something, but she couldn't really pester her could she?

"Well thanks for looking out for me" she said as she approached her and wrapped her arms around for a hug. "it means a lot"

"no probs" she said returning the hug. "well you better get a move on or you'll never be ready!" she said with a giggle.

"Thanks"

She said as she made her way back to the bathroom, body wash in hand. The temperature was good and warm as she tested it with her fingers. Then as she dropped her clothes to her feet she wiped the steam clogged mirror with the palm of her right hand. Slipping into the shower she dipped her head under the shower head. It felt good she couldn't deny that. Did Dan really play around that much and was she just a conquest to be made or did he really care for her? She'd have to find that out for herself, and hopefully prove Lou wrong, and who knows maybe then she would find out what Lou was hiding. You never know she thought with a sigh. Rubbing some shampoo in-between the palms of her hands she paused. Creping a smile along her jaw line she plopped it down onto her head, and started to massage it into her scalp.

She'd change him, she would she thought triumphantly. Rinsing herself off she exited the shower with a white fluffy towel wrapped around the sweet curves of her petite body. As she sat at her vanity table she pulled the hair dryer out of the top draw, turning it on she brushed her hair as the hot air blowed through her chestnut brown hair, waving in the breeze or the dryer.

Slipping the thin spaghetti straps over her shoulders she expected herself in the mirror.

"nice" she heard a familiar voice in the hall way.

"Rosie" turning around to face her "What do you think?"

"Fantastic!" she said in her best French accent.

Piper giggled as she turned and faced the mirror once again and began to twirl.

"Piper you have a visitor" she heard as Lou came to the door of her room.

"Thanks she said as she as she exited to the room and into the main one, where she saw Dan in a pale orange shirt with the two top buttons undone and black pin stripe trousers matched with a pair of shiny black shoes and his hair slapped back over his head.

"Wow" he paused "Piper you look amazing"

"Thank you"

"Here" he said as he extended his arm "this way mademoiselle" he said as he lead her out of the dorm room.

The restaurant was beautiful, well lit and elegant. Dan was sweet in bringing her here, she thought as the waiter lead them over to the table.

"What you like?" He said picking up his menu.

"I'm not sure, there's just so much to choose from"

"I know what you mean, look at the selection" he started "Would you like me to order for you"

"Er … okay" she could order for herself she thought, but hey it was the thought that counts isn't it.

"Okay …" he paused as he closed his menu "Waiter! …. Waiter!" he lifted his hand as he raised his voice.

"Are you ready to order Misuor" (sorry I can't spell Mr in French) the waiter said dangling over the table like a stalker.

"Yes we are." Dan stated.

"We will have …" he paused as he looked back though the menu "the Gnocchi in the white wine and cream sauce, and a bottle of Chardonnay"

Nice choice Piper could help but think, Gnocchi was a nice dish, but she didn't know where a French restaurant had got it from since it was an Italian one. Weird.

The food cam in no time and it looked very delicious, and she had no doubting that it tasted just as good.

'RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG'

'RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG'

'RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG'

It was coming from Dan's trouser pocket, just her luck she thought grimly as Dan pulled the phone out of his pocket and looked at the front screen.

"I'm sorry I need to take this" he said looking at Piper.

"it's oka-"

He hadn't even waited for her to say it by the time she had opened her mouth he had already been talking. Well, the cheek of it.

Watching she saw Dan get up and leave the table, the phone still attached to his ear, as he stood next to the green fern in the corner.

It was coming onto half an hour and the food was starting to get a funny colour, Piper was not impressed. That was it.

"Excuse me Waiter?"

As the beady eyed man came over Dan was still in the corner not bothering with her. She wrote a note on a napkin"

"Yes Mademoiselle"

"Could you please give this to that man when I leave please" she said pointing over to Dan.

"Of course"

"Thank you" she said placing $10 in his hand.

"Would you like me to call you round a cab?"

"Yes please"

Please Review I'd be grateful
