"Leo man, great to see ya!" Cole, another one of Leo's friends exclaimed as Leo and Nate reached the lake. He gave Nate a five dollar bill; "Congratulations mate, you dragged him away from his fantasy world..."

"Shut up Cole!" Leo said punching Cole on the arm as he sat with his back leaning on an old tree. "So, Andy-where are the babes?" Leo asked another one of his friends.

"Over there..." Andy gestured in the general direction of a group of teenage girls wearing bikinis, short skirts and skimpy tops. Leo watched them splash around for a few minutes but, compared to Piper...they weren't all that interesting.

Leo's eyes looked around the rest of the lake; he saw one brunette rising up out of the water and froze.

It was her.

She was here.

He could see her, every part of her...

"Now that, my friends, is a TOTAL babe!" Leo said not taking his eyes off of her. Most of his friends agreed with him but also said that he didn't have a chance in hell.

"I don't care if I don't have a chance hell...I've seen her now, and all I know is that she's even more beautiful, radiant even in the flesh...I have to get closer!" Leo exclaimed as he stood up and quickly sprinted round the lake over to the side where she was.

Hidden in the trees he stayed, watching her reading a book at her own, secluded part of the lake, for hours. A smile danced across Leo's face as the setting sun shone and danced across Piper's back. One word: Beautiful. It was the only way to describe her; she literally took his breath away with her beauty! It was getting darker, and soon everyone would leave, that would be when Leo would make his move, he'd step out of the trees and introduce himself, that was-if everything went to plan...

Meanwhile as the Princess, or Piper as she was more commonly known and always preferred to be called, was reading her book she kept feeling as if she was being watched. In all likelihood it was very likely, she was out in a public place, where lots of people could see and probably recognise her, but still, it felt like she was being singled out.

She turned round once, or twice, and she could see a figure moving in the trees, and sometimes catch a glimpse of sandy blond hair. She'd go find out whom or what was watching her when more people had left.

An hour or so after the sun had begun to set; practically everyone had left, so Piper figured it was as good a time as any to leave. She gathered up her towel and smoothing her just above the knee length skirt turned to leave.

As she neared the trees she heard a rustling and remembered hearing it before and seeing a flash of blond hair.

"Hello? Hello? Is someone in there?" She enquired

All she got was a rustle in reply. A minute or three later there was a lot more stumbling as a tall, handsome young man stumbled out from the trees.

"Uh...umm...I'm uh...sorry for disturbing you..." Leo stuttered.

"Oh, it's perfectly alright. The question is, are you okay?"

"Me? Yeah, I'm fine...uh...umm...god, I've no idea how to speak to a Princess..." Leo said mentally adding "or someone so beautiful..."

"Well...for a first-timer you're doing pretty well..."She chuckled.

"Thanks...Can I just say...It's a pleasure to finally meet you..." Leo said staring into her deep, dark brown eyes. God, he could look into them for hours and not notice the world around him.

"You say that as if you've been waiting to meet me..." Piper said gazing back into his sea green eyes.

"Oh, but I have...ever since I was a young boy...six I think..."Leo said shyly.

"I'd love to say the same but...I've only wanted to meet you since I realised there was someone watching me..."

"Yeah...umm...I'm really sorry about that...but...when I saw you...I had to come closer...I really am sorry..."

"Don't worry about it, I don't get to meet any guys around the same age as me; I don't really mind meeting new people...I just prefer it when they don't sit in the bushes and stumble out in front of my feet." She said laughing.

'God, she has an amazing laugh!' Leo thought to himself.

"Now, I'm assuming you already know my name, but I'm not exactly psychic..."

"Oh, right, sorry-I should have introduced myself. I'm Leo, Leo Wyatt." Leo said offering his hand to shake.

"It's great to meet you Leo," Piper said flashing him a smile as she took his hand. When there hands touched each felt tingles down their spines.

With her hand in his, he took the opportunity to do the manly thing and kiss the back of her hand.

"And it's great to meet you Piper. You're more beautiful in the flesh..."

"Aw you're sweet...but really, I'm nothing special..." Piper said modestly.

"See, that's where I have to disagree with you...in my eyes, you are the most beautiful person in the world."

"Leo...stop it!" Piper said giggling as she swatted his arms.

"But it's the truth; you're just too modest..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

"No, honestly Piper-I can call you that right?"

"Of course, you could call me anything..."

"Honestly, it's the truth-I swear...I wouldn't lie to you..."

"Sure." Piper said, still being modest.

"So, anything huh?" Leo said playfully.

"Well, maybe not anything...but, within reason..."

"Got it, gorgeous..." Leo grinned at her. He looked at his wristwatch and realised that it was getting quite late and that he should be headed home soon. As Leo was looking at his watch, Piper looked down at their hands, surprised to see that they were still in each others.

"Look, I really hate to leave you now...but..." Leo started, regretting the fact that he said he'd be back by ten past 9.

"You have to be back home?" Piper said sadly.

"Unfortunately...I'd rather be out here with you...can I...maybe see you some other time?" Leo said standing in front of her.

Piper released his hand from hers, and stepped forwards.

"Definitely." She whispered into his ear. God, the feeling of her breath on his shoulder, just being in the same place as her...why did she have to tease him so?

"So, same time, same place tomorrow?" Leo asked as she stepped away.

"No, make it back here, behind the trees, and earlier-I want to spend as much time with you as possible...how about three?" She asked her voice, soft and barely above a whisper...yet every word seemed to go straight to Leo's heart.

"I'll be there, you can count on it." Leo said smiling. "Well...I'd best be off..." Leo said turning round to leave.

"No, wait!" Piper said grabbing Leo's arm, he turned round at her touch. She gave him a peck on the lips. "Thank you."

"What for?" Leo asked confused, but mesmerised that someone so heavenly had kissed him! Leo Wyatt!

"For reminding me what it is to be a teenager..." Piper said biting her lip.

"Before I go...can I remind you some more?" Leo asked with a smile dancing across his face once again.

"Depends...if it's a good reminder, yes..." Piper started, but stopped as Leo put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Slowly their faces got closer to each other, until they were just centimetres apart. At which point Leo leant forwards and placed a soft, sweet, tender kiss on her lips. After a second he pulled back.

"I...I'm sorry if..."

"No, don't be sorry," Piper said placing a finger on his lips. "It was a good reminder...you can remind me again tomorrow..."

"Hmm...I won't say no to that..." Leo grinned, "Now, I really don't want to go, but...if you want to see me again I kinda have to...You gonna be okay by yourself?"

"It's sweet of you to ask, but I'll be fine-now, you better get going. I look forward till when we meet again..." Piper said as Leo left. Piper stood watching him until he could no longer be seen-that boy was really something. Piper couldn't wait for tomorrow to come...

Leo walked into his home with a huge grin plastered across his face.

"Hmm...You look happy, what's gotten into you son?" Christopher, Leo's father asked.

"Oh, just the most beautiful women, EVER!"

"Leo dear, are you running a fever?" Lillian, his mother asked.

"Nope! She was down at the lake-god, is she amazing!" Leo responded knowing that his parents knew who 'she' was; after all, there was only one person she could be...

Lillian and Chris laughed at their son who went off to his room in a daze.

"That boy really is something..." Lillian chuckled.

"By the sounds of it, this girl really must be something too...he wouldn't have obsessed over her this long of not..." Chris reasoned.

"And to think, we thought it was a passing phase..."
