AN: Wow, that was sure enough reviews for me to continue... Thank you all so much! I don't want to write you each a personal thank you cause that would be too much babbling from my side, so I'll just do this:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....!!! Ok, and now that I got that out of the way, on with the story:
Chapter 2
OoO The New Job OoO
"Why are you doing this to yoursef?" Prue asked Piper when the three sisters were out on lunch in a nice restaurant down town the next day.
"What are you talking about?" Piper asked back, sticking her fork in the salad in front of her, knowing exactly what Prue was talking about.
"You live in that old apartmant, you date egoistic guys that have a 'No Commitments' sighn on their foreheads, you always work as a secretary... I mean, you could be a great desiner married to a wonderful guy if you only wanted! You spent years in college studying interior disine, and look at you! working as a damn secretary." Prue said.
"She is right you know." Phoebe agreed.
Piper sighed, and put her fork down, no longer hungry.
"I know, I know. But until that happens, and I become a 'great desiner married to a wonderful guy' I have to work as a damn secretary, because I need the money." Piper said.
"That's it. You're hopeless. You are willing to help anyone who asks you to, but you can't help yourself." Prue said, frowning.
"Ok. That's enough psychology on me for today, just because you are a psychologist doesn't mean you can use it against your sisters. How's lil' Harry doing?" Piper asked, knowing that asking Prue about her son would distract her from what they were tlaking about, and she was right.
"Oh, Tomas bought him this adorible bike, and Harry was so exsited about it..." Prue went on about her son, and later complaned about the horrible new woman working at his preschool.
It took Piper less then two days to find a new job, which was the fastest she has ever done before.
With a new job starting on monday, once again as a secretary at a place called 'Wyatt investigations'. It was owned by two brothers (so much for having a woman boss...) who were doing private ditective stuff, which Piper knew nothing about but she did know how to be a good secretary which was enough.
On sunday, the night before she was going on her new job, Piper rejected her friends when they called her to meet them at their usual club, and stayed home to spend the night with Ronald and do some art.
She put one of Elvis Consello's CD's in the CD player, and set down to start painting.
Somehow, she anded up painting the wall with huge leaves, and by two in the morning one of the walls was looking like the most beautiful jungle.
Piper put down the brush in her hand and stepped back to look at what she has done.
"Well? Ronald? What do you think, Ha?" She smiled as Elvis was starteing to sing "I wanna be loved", and went to take a shower, Elvis's words still singing in her head.
"Why must I be so lonely?
When so many people pass me by
I've been waiting for oh so long now
And yet I'm unable to answer why
I can't be made to give up now
Can you find room for me
in your heart somehow?
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved..."
When she got out of the shower she took one last look at the beautiful wall, wandering why hasn't she ever done this before, and went to bed, with Ronald once again cuddling next to her and the two fell asleep.
The next morning, Piper woke up at six and realized that she should have gone to bed much earlyer last night, because she was on the verge of falling asleep again.
She took a quick shower, dressed up in her best business suit, pulled her hair up in a nice knot, and filled hersef with coffee.
On her way out, she stopped to look at herself in the mirror.
The suit was gray but not boring, and her hair was shiny and clean.
Not her best, but good enough.
---OoO---
Across town, In a building labeled "Wyatt Investigation", Leo Wyatt, the eldest of the two Wyatt brothers, walked into his office and closed the door behind him.
He dumped himself on his chair, and looked around at his expensive office.
He loosened his tie a bit, as someone came in.
"The hot redhead called again." James, Leo's younger brother said as he set in a chair across from Leo and threw a file on his desk.
"Who?" Leo asked.
"Mrs. Kelly, the histerical one who thinks her husbend is cheeting on her."
"Oh. Stop giving our clients nicknames, I can't follow." Leo said, opening the file and looking through it.
"Ant the crazy dude who thinks his son is out to get him called too."
"Ok. Tell me what's going on with the big cases." Leo said, and listened as his brother as he talked.
After Leo was updated and sighned a few papers, he looked over at the empty spot on his desk where there should have been coffee.
"When's the new secretary coming?" Leo asked.
"Today. I told her to come at eight." James said, getting up.
"Good. She's not old is she? Because if she is anything like Mrs. Morrison..."
"No worries, she is twenty seven. My age." James said and grinned.
"Don't you smile like that! You know the rules, no sleeping with the employees." Leo said.
That was when Ms. Dobbs came in.
"Good morning Mr. Wyatt." She said, ignoring completely his younger brother.
"Indeed a good morning, Ms. Dobbs." Leo said.
"I have Lasly Granner's case done. His partner confessed." She said.
"Good. One less thing to worry about." Leo said, as his brother and Ms. Dobbs, who has been working for the company sinse it started, and had a crush on Leo for ten years left.
He leaned back in his chair, praparing himself for a long day of work when Ms. Dobbs peaked in again.
"Yes?"
"The secretary is here." She said, looking a little annoyed for some reason, and when the secretary walked in he knew why.
She was wearing the most beauiful gray suit he has ever seen, and her skirt covered her legs only a little over her knees, revealing great legs.
Then he looked up at her brown eyes and her beautiful hair which was pulled up, and he emagined how long would it be if it would have been down... he had a weekness for women with long hair.
Then he stood up and shook her hand.
"Hello, welcome to Wyatt investigation, we are glad to have you."
"And I am glad to be here." Piper said.
"Have a seat," Leo said, and set down himself.
"Well, Ms..." Leo thought. He didn't know her name. Damn.
"Halliwell. Piper Halliwell." She said, still smiling.
"Ms. Halliwell, you've spoken with my brother two days ago, and he said you were good for the job. Have you worked as a secretary before?"
"For the past two years."
"Good. You're desk is right infront of my door, and James's office is right next to mine. I see you've allready met Mrs. Dobbs, and Mr. Girdy should be here soon. Also Mr. Raymond will be here only next week, so you will meet him then."
Piper nodded to show she was following.
God, she was hot.
He shook his head to shrug the thought away.
If she wasn't his worker, he would have stood up and asked her to go to bed with him.
Maybe he should fire her.
He remembered the horrible sex he had with his girlfriend the previous night, and knew it was his falt.
Alison just wasn't the one, he thought, and decided that tonight he is breaking up with her.
Then he remembered where he was and said;
"Very well then. Now, I need you to upload on the computer all the appointments and data from the files you'll find in your desk and in the room all the way down the hall." He said.
She looked at him confused, so he added;
"You see, our old secretary was... old fashioned, if you know what I mean. She didn't like computers all that much."
Piper smiled, understanding, and Leo would have given her twenty dollars if she would smile again like that.
But she didn't, she just said;
"Alright, let me know if you need anything, and I've noticed you didn't have your coffee yet so I'll have that done too." She said, and he wanted to kiss her.
"Thank you, you're a hero. And take your time with the files, there are lots of them, no need to hurry." He said, and with a nod she walked out.
Piper Halliwell. Well, hopefully she was as good a secretary as she looked.
He smiled, then reminded himself he had lots of work waiting for him, and started another exhausting day.
AN: Ok, I know there isn't much excitement so far, and it's just kinda getting to know the characters... but I promise you, this is going to get a lot more interesting soon. So dont forget to R&R! Thanx.
