Phone Calls in New York
"Piper, he's a sleazebag, I don't even know what you see in him….. yer then why vhe stand you up again!" Clay heard Phoebe's voice say, and knew exactly what, or more who she was talking about.
Like every week Phoebe was calling one of her older sisters, Piper. He knew how much those calls meant to her, so he tried to never disturb her, and today like many other times he found himself busying away at anything he could until the dinner arrived and her conversation would end.
But even then she would reluctant to do so, Phoebe missed San Francisco, especially her sisters. She missed the gossip, and the arguments she missed it all, but most she missed Prue. Prue had never liked the idea of Phoebe moving to New York, especially when she found out that it was to find their farther. An somehow over the years, the fights and arguments had grown to such a scale the two hardly spoke anymore, leaving Phoebe with only one sister.
Sure their was Paige her half sister but most of the time she was of travelling and exploring some far away country and phoebe only ever got to talk to her though the many letters they wrote to each other, or the occasional phone call, or the even more occasional time she was in the country.
An so with the distance mentally, and physically from Prue and Paige, she had grown so much closer to Piper. But still Piper was always there, on the other end of the phone for her and she still appreciated that, so when she was able to talk to Piper Clay always left the two alone, and would even leave the room so they could talk about what ever they wanted, even him as he had on occasions he had heard them talking about him although it had always been good he was glad to report.
As he finished re-screwed the hinge of the cupboard back on, it had come of the other day when Pheebs had come home in a mood as she had just been fired from her evening job. Not that it put a major dent in her life, she still had two other ones to keep her going, on some days she would work at the market in the morning, and others she would do waitressing in a near by café.
When the doorbell to their flat went and phoebe was signalled to rap up her conversation, as Clay paid for their dinner, a Chinese and served it up on the laid table with candles.
Pheebs arrived just as he was finishing serving the food, "ahh Hunny this Is amazing," she announced as she walked towards him amazed by the lightly lit table and rose petals he had laid around the plates, it was their very own home made date.
She kissed him softly, before taking her seat, as did he after he had tucked her in on her chair. The two sat and began to eat as Phoebe shared with him the parts of her conversation with piper that he was allowed to hear, "you know she was thinking of getting a lodger,"
"Um," Clay replied taking another bite of his peeking duck.
"Well she got one…. It's a bloke," Clay was surprised like phoebe had been when she had heard, "yer apparently he's nice looking…." Phoebe took another bite, "yer his name's, oh god what is it now…. Oh that's it Leo," Clay raised his head in wonder, "Leo Wyatt," Phoebe finished before going back to her meal, while Clay slowly chewed on his own, he had found him.
The dinner was soon finished, and afterwards the couple watched a rented video, and as Clay had hoped Phoebe soon nodded off, peacefully sleeping on the sofa Clay left and headed for the phone.
"Hay I got news," he said in a quiet tone so not to wake Phoebe, "it's Wyatt I've found him…."
Well there you go, what's Clay up to? Who's he calling? What did Piper tell Phoebe about Leo? All to come soon in the next instalment of 'the lodger from… heaven.' Now thanks for reading and please review.
