AN: Thanks for the reviews!!

Piper sat nervously on Kelly's couch. There was always a party there, even if he was gone, which he was, out on a date with Manda. Manda was so naive sometimes. She'd even bragged to Piper about Kelly getting a room at some hotel called "The Mirage". Piper shook her head at the thought.

She'd yet to run into Leo. To tell the truth, she wasn't sure she could deal with seeing him right now, not with her sleep deprived brain already working overtime to crack the last part to the murder. Piper wasn't even sure that she could do that, let alone deal with Leo's bullshit.

But wouldn't he show up. Leo looked on in shock to find Piper watching the TV as everyone buzzed around her. He wanted to tell her how he felt, but he'd never felt for anyone how he felt for her. It didn't exactly go with his player-ish image.

Leo sat down beside her, regarding her carefully.

"Get away from me." Piper said coldly, looking straight ahead.

"Piper, will you please talk to me—"

"This is why Jimmy left town isn't it?" Piper asked, keeping the same tone.

Leo nodded solemnly. "Well, he said he was originally leaving because he was getting to much heat from the murders. But when he gave me the tape I told him not to come back."

It was Piper's turn to nod. "You do know what you did is a crime, right?"

Leo sighed and slumped back in his seat. "What do I do that isn't a crime?"

Piper sent him a look before quickly turning her attention back to the primetime sitcom.

"Piper, I'm sorry."

Piper sighed and rested a warm hand on his knee. "I know you are." She replied, looking into his aqua eyes.

"Do you forgive me?"

-----

Piper giggled as she and Leo stumbled through the front door of his apartment, neither of them willing to break the kiss.

Leo pulled away long enough to shut the door. "Did you just giggle?"

Piper blushed furiously, and kissed him again. He brought a hand to the side of her face.

"I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the bed." Leo murmured against her lips, running his hand up her skirt clad thigh.

"Me either." Piper admitted, as the two fell over the arm of the couch, his body pressing down on hers.

"I've missed this." Leo said, forcing her shirt off her body.

"It's been a day and a half."

He smiled. "I know."

Piper sighed happily. She enjoyed the feel of his skin against hers, his moans and groans, the way he touched her in places that she hadn't even known existed. The way he made her feel, fulfilled and beautiful.

-----

Piper scrunched up against Leo on the couch, seeing as there wasn't much room. Leo wrapped his arm her tighter and kissed her on the forehead.

"I love you." He said softly. You could almost hear the record screech to a close.

"You what now?"

"Oh, jeez." Leo said, rolling from the couch to the floor. Piper sighed and wrapped the blanket he'd gone to get around her. Just then, her cell phone rang.

"Fuck." Piper murmured, right before saying hello.

"Hey Pippy, it's Mike (You guys remember him, the guy who's house they were at in the beginning? Okay, good, sorry to interrupt.)

"Hey!" Piper replied, seeing that it was scarcely 11:30. Piper glanced down at Leo who looked absolutely miserable.

"I was just wondering if you'd seen Manda, we need a fourth for strip poker."

"Uh, no, she's out on a date with Kelly."

Mike snorted bitterly. "I guess she doesn't care that Kelly just wants Jimmy's exes."

"What?" Piper asked incredulously.

"Yeah, Kelly hooked up with all of 'em before they died."

Piper's mind whirled. NO FUCKING WAY.

"SHIT! Mike, I've got to go." She hung up without waiting for a response.

"Leo, put your clothes on." Piper said, standing herself, "I've got to get to Manda before it's too late."

AN: Okay guys, this is it, we're almost there…
