Six Months Later
-:-
It was six months later and Piper was looking for something new. She was at her agents office sitting on his black leather couch talking about her next career move. "So what did you think of the scripts I gave you Piper?" Ryan her agent asked, he had give her a bunch of scripts to read.
"Well most of them were all right. The one you gave me for Sin City that's the lead character and I really like it. She different from my character on Cinie Place, this women owns part of a Oil Company and doesn't sleep around to get what she wants. I like that."
"Good because when they wrote the role you were the person they had in mind to play her."
"Really?" Piper asked surprised. Her role on Cinie Place kinda made her popular but Piper was still trying to make her mark in Hollywood.
"Sorry I'm late... am I interrupting anything?" A voice came from the door.
"Mr. Wyatt. No I was just telling Piper about the role on Sin City and she likes it."
"Well that's good to hear."
"Excuse me? What's going on?" Piper asked.
"Well Mr. Wyatt here is the producer and also wrote the script to Sin City."
"I haven't said yes and I think I'm gonna pass." Piper said not liking that fact that her ex husband had something to do with this.
"Piper this gonna be good for your career," her agent told her.
"You would be perfect for this role," Leo said.
"That's it there."
"What you don't want to work with me? I'm only the producer," Leo said.
"Yes and you will be my boss."
"And what's wrong with that?'
"I don't know maybe because we use to sleep together and the not getting involved with people at work would be thrown out the window."
"So we were married we all have baggage. Our just happened to be we were married to each other once. Will you least just think about it?"
"O.K. maybe but I'm not making any promises."
"O.K. I understand and..." Then Leo's phone rang, "Excuse me," Leo said answering it... "So you will think about it?" Leo asked Piper after he got off the phone.
"Think, that'a all."
"That's all I ask. Sorry I have to leave but thanks for your time and hopefully I'll see you soon." Leo said to Piper. "Bye Ryan," Leo said.
"Bye Mr. Wyatt," and with that Leo left. "So you gonna take it Piper?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know Ryan."
-:-
It was later that afternoon and Leo was in his office with his friend Michael Knight who was producing Sin City with him. "I've spoken to Piper Halliwell and we have a star," Leo told Michael as he lit a smoke.
"She said yes?"
"No, but I'll make her."
"Make her? How? By sleeping with her?" Michael joked.
"I've already done that. I was once married to her so I know how to get what I want from her, but I also think it would be great for her career."
"Yeah it makes me wonder if that's all you had in mind when you wrote the role."
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Come on Leo your former wife is a babe."
"She's more than just a babe Michael. Anyway she's dating Dan right now."
"Who am I dating?" Dan asked as he walked in.
"Dan, Leo here was just telling me you're dating his former wife," Michael said,
"I was."
"I was?" Leo said choking on his smoke, "What happened?" Leo asked as he put his smoke out in the ash tray.
"She said that she was uncomfortable since you and I are friends."
"Oh sorry about that Dan," Leo said lighting another smoke.
"Hey I can't blame you for getting her first she is hot."
"She more than hot Dan... So Leo says," Michael joked.
"Did you see her on Kirstin Fuller live the other night?" Dan asked.
"Yeah I watched that. So Leo you're very romantic," Michael teased.
"Yeah that's why I get all the ladies and you don't."
"True, he has a point Michael," Dan mocked.
"You know Leo you gotta quit smoking," Michael told him.
"ARR! You sound like my mother."
"Doesn't April find this habit of yours annoying?"
"I smoke, if she doesn't like it she knows where the door is. Piper put up with it while we were together."
"But that was Piper Leo."
"Yes it was Piper and I married her."
-:-
It was night that day and Piper had just finished making dinner, she was feeding her cat when she heard a knock on her apartment door... "Hi," Leo said leaning on the door frame with his hands behind his back smiling at Piper as she opened the door.
Piper was surprised to see Leo there, "Leo, Hi."
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"No, I was just feeding my cat."
"Well I brought champagne"
"Champagne, why?"
"To celebrate."
"And just what are we celebrating Wyatt?" Piper asked knowing he was up to something.
"That your going to take the role on Sin City."
"Why don't you come in and take a seat," Piper said letting Leo in, she went into the kitchen and came out seconds with two glasses and took a seat next to Leo.
Leo poured champagne into each glass, "So have you thought about taking the role?" He asked.
"Yes and..."
"Before you give me a answer I want you to know that when I wrote this role I didn't chose you because of the history we shared. I chose you because I think you would be great for this role, well I think you would be prefect."
"I've thought about it Leo and it's something I am looking for."
"Do I hear a 'Yes she gonna take it' coming on here?"
Piper laughed, "O.K. Yes. You got what you wanted."
"I always did get what I wanted from you," Leo joked.
"Leo!" She said as she hitting him on the arm.
Leo smiled at Piper, "I'm glad your taking it Piper. So here to my ex wife taking on the role as Lori Eden on Sin City and I know you be successful," Leo said smiling at Piper as they clicked wine glasses.
-:-
It was Piper's first day on the set of the show she was the star on. It had been a long day and it was finally coming to a end. Piper made fast friends with a lot of the people on set. One person she was hoping would be there was Leo but there was no Leo all day. She didn't think much of it because he was just her boss now and that's all, their marriage was something they tried not to bring up in conversations with each other. Right now Piper was sitting down between takes when she heard a familiar voice say, "Hi." Piper turned around to see Leo which brought a smile to her face. "Sorry I could get here any sooner I was stuck in meetings all day," Leo told her.
"That's fine, you don't have to drop everything because of me Leo."
"It's not that, I wanted to be here on your first day."
"The people here are very nice," she told him.
"They are, I picked the best. Sorry I've got to go and have dinner with Aaron Spelling and Brad Kern soon, so I have to leave but if you ever need anything I'm here. I'll try and pop by tomorrow and see how things are going."
"Thanks Leo."
"You're welcome. I'll see you later," he said and then he left, Piper watched him leave.
The end of the day had finally come, Piper was unlocking the door to her apartment, her cat purred as he ran inside, then the phone rang and Piper ran over to answer it but nobody would say anything. She could here someone breathing but said nothing so she hung up thinking nothing much of it.
-:-
A couple of weeks had gone by and life was great for Piper, she was on top world. She was the star of her own show and was highly paid, she thought Leo had something to do with that but she didn't want to fight over it with him.
The director had called it lunch and Piper was walked pass one of her co- star Sandra Lock's dressing room when she heard noises coming from there, she knew what her co-star was doing and laughed to herself. She then walked into her dressing room to find a beautiful bunch of flowers on her dresser. She pulled the card out and read it.
Piper,
Sorry I haven't been able to visit you since your first day, I've been busy but I request your company tonight. I'll come and pick you up from your place a 7pm to take you out to dinner.
Cheers Leo.
The bunch of flowers and the invite for dinner cheered Piper up and she was looking forward to spending a evening with her ex husband. Piper was heading back to the set when she bumped into Michael Knight one of her bosses and Leo's friend coming out of Sandra's dressing room, "Michael, Hi."
"Piper sorry I didn't see you," Michael said as he turned red.
"Yeah I guess you didn't," Piper said, she couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" Michael asked Piper.
"Nothing," Piper said but she couldn't stop laughing.
"Michael you forgot your tie," Sandra said running to the door, "Piper!" Sandra was surprised to see Piper there.
"Hi Sandra."
"So Leo sent you flowers?" Michael said trying to change the subject.
"Well... Umm..."
"Piper you don't need to lie, I was there when he wrote the card," Michael said.
"Well yes, he's taking me out to dinner."
"Dinner? I was there when he wrote the card but he refused to let me see what he wrote."
"Oh but it's only just dinner like friend dinner kind of thing."
Sandra laughed, "What's so funny?" Piper asked about to laugh herself.
"Your secret safe with me Piper," Michael said winking at Piper.
"And your secret it safe with me too. So Sandra had lunch?" Piper asked.
"No, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. Let's go," Sandra said as the two ladies left together.
===
"I have to say I enjoy working with you Piper," Sandra said as the two ladies sat down to have lunch.
"Hey I like working with you too." Piper and Sandra played sisters on Sin City who were also best friend and only trust each other.
"I guess since we are working together and we've became good friends Piper I could tell you about Michael and I..."
"You don't have to explain to me Sandra."
"It's better if I did. See me and Michael are together but we have kept it quite."
"Why is he cheating on his wife or something?" Piper joked.
Sandra laughed, "It's not that, he's not married. It's just we can have more of a life together when we keep it quite."
"Your talking about the media right."
"Yes. Didn't you have that problem while you and Leo were together?"
"No. Keeping our marriage out of the media was really a problem for us since we had just started out in business. The only time we were ever in a magazine together was when In Style did an article on us at home. There were the odd pictures of us together at events but that was about it. It was never really a problem."
"It's a problem for Leo now."
"It would be."
"And not to mention that bitch he's dating April Milo."
"Leo's seeing someone?" Piper asked.
"Well yeah kinda, he likes her but that doesn't mean he's tied down to her yet Piper."
"No I didn't mean it like that, after all I'm just the ex wife, I've had him already," Piper joked.
-:-
The evening had come, Leo took Piper out to dinner at one of the finest Italian restaurants, he remembered Piper loved pasta, "So how are you liking working?" Leo asked.
"I'm in enjoying it," Piper told Leo.
"That's good to hear. Sandra Lock likes you a lot."
"I love playing sister with her."
"She told you about her and Michael."
"Yeah she did. I understand why and they are so happy together it's cute."
"Try staying in a room with them and your the only person who knows about it," Leo joked.
Piper laughed, "So you usually take your employees out to dinner?"
Leo laughed at Piper's question, "Is that what you think of me now? I'm just your boss?"
"Well you are just my boss Leo."
"I like to think we are more like friends or I could be just your boss who's seen you naked... a lot."
"See there, that's why I think we might never be friends."
"Why do you still picture me naked every time you see me?"
Piper couldn't help but laugh but so wanted to drop the subject, "It's not that Leo. You know so much about me that nobody else knows."
"And you also know a lot about me that nobody else knows."
"So in other words I know my boss intimately, you know that might come handy when I want some thing."
"Blackmail, I say the bitch Helen Fine is wearing on you." Piper laughed. "I'd like to think that we could leave what happened in the past in the past."
"I don't think our marriage was a mistake Leo if that what you think?"
"You don't think that?"
"No I don't. We were happy weren't we?" Piper asked.
"Very. I just thought that marrying me was something you regret. Well never mind that was years ago and this it today. Here is to us." Leo said lifting his wine glass up.
"Us?"
"Us, what ever that might be today..."
===
Piper and Leo both left the restaurant not really knowing what to say to each other. Things that had happened years ago were coming back and they didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
They were in the lobby waiting for their coats when Leo lit a smoke. "You still smoke?" Piper asked.
"Yeah. Do you want one?" Leo asked offering Piper one.
Piper took one and Leo lit it up for her, "I haven't smoked one of these since... when we were married."
"That was one bad habit you got from me," Leo said puffing on his smoke.
"I didn't smoke that often. Only now and then. Well not as much as you did."
"You never nagged me to quit smoking when we were together. Why?"
"Because Leo when you love someone so much you learn to also love their bad habits. In our case it grew on me," Piper said looking at her smoke. "I only smoked while being married to you and now that you're back again..."
Leo had finished his smoke and threw it in the ash tray, "In that case I better take this then," Leo said taking Piper's smoke and smoking it himself.
"Hey! That's mine!"
Leo laughed, "Do you want it back?" Leo offered taking it out of his mouth.
