Then there was alight knocking on the manor's door, to which Piper practically ran over to, just so she would be the first there.
She stopped allowing herself time to straighten herself, as well as her clothes before opening the door.
"Hi," she said in her most graceful, and politest tone, but then her smile faded as the young voice replied.
"Hi." It was Glen, who quickly passed the disappointed Piper, and directed himself to Paige who was sitting on the stairs in her green hoddie and baggy jeans, as she watched her sister's charade.
Once again it went, and she did the same charade. Only to be disappointed by Roger's face this time, which she didn't even bother to greet. She opened the door saw it was him and waked back to the kitchen, she still hadn't forgiven him for the 'Phoebe incident,' yet.
On the last time, she didn't hear it, not that if she had she would have bothered going; she had given up on the idea of gracefully inviting him in.
She was trying to redo her first impression, the original was well…. just stupid, her having a fight with some tramp that she could of easily handled. Well to her it had made her look pathetic and like some sort of bimbo, which she definitely was not.
As for her reunion with him, she had been drunk and she had been passed out for…. well all of it. So she had been hoping that maybe this time she would be able to make up for her previous mistakes, and maybe make a whole new first impression, although truthfully it would be the third one.
Leo and Cole stepped into the manor; Prue had invited them in and introduced Leo to everyone. Cole seemed awkward at first, as did Phoebe, but soon they had disappeared to go up stairs and 'talk.'
This left Leo talking to Prue well at least he started to, but Roger asking questions about Cole, and on a regular basis interrupted their conversation by doing so.
Although it wasn't any of his business which was silently thought of by Leo, as well as Prue who knew exactly why he was asking, and hated the idea of him being so interested in Phoebe's love life.
But soon as Roger carried on with his questions, Leo noticed harshness in Prue's voice, and the angry glares she kept shooting at Roger, which he seemed to be blind to. As well as the way she was becoming angrier and angrier with him. An so Leo made the wise decision of leaving the conversation, and taking refuge with Paige, and Glen. Who had snucked them selves away happily in a corner.
"Em Paige," the girl looked up at him, "Do you know where Piper is?" Leo asked, as he hadn't seen her so far, and had been hoping to introduce himself properly before their shared meal.
"Yer she's in the kitchen," Paige said with a wide grin on her face, Leo nodded thankfully and stepped out of the room and towards the nearby one with the aroma of good cooking flowing out of it, that he remembered being the kitchen.
As he stepped though the doorway frame, he noticed a figure bending over in front of him; she was obviously retrieving something from the oven.
But Leo seemed paralysed; he couldn't move his eyes away from her perfectly formed body. Or to be more specific her perfectly formed behind, he smiled to himself as it bobbed around in the air in front of him.
Prue had, had enough, why was he so concerned about her little sister's love life anyway she thought angrily to herself, and stood up leaving him shocked at her sudden uprising, as she left the room.
She stepped out into the hallway, where her eyes caught Leo's body, standing still in the doorway. Except for his head that every now and then moved a little more to the right, as if to improve his view of what ever he was looking at.
She slowly stepped forward as not to disturb him, and as she did the mystery to what he had been eagerly watching was solved. Piper was bending over in front of the oven, her behind waving about up in the air, and Leo's eyes straight at it.
Prue smiled to herself; "I think someone is cheeking the chef out," she noted.
Straightaway Piper bolted up, and turned quick enough to see her sister and Leo in the doorway. She suddenly started blushing violently as was Leo at the time, although he seemed more embarrassed at the fact Piper had seen him, than that Prue had caught him. This had not been the way he had wanted to re-meet her, not that any of their meetings ever seemed if not perfect.
'My wok here is done,' Prue thought to herself before walking back out, leaving the pair smiling at each other, as they tried to hide their shared embarrassment.
"I'm sorry," Leo said, worried that Piper would think of him as a pervert or something worse.
"No, really it's fine…. I mean I did want to improve your first impression of me. I just hope that one is ok for you… was it?" she asked trying to bring humour to the situation.
"Oh it was good, I mean it was great… it was excellent." Piper and Leo both laughed.
Once the laughter had died down Leo carried on, "em well I'm Leo…. Leo Wyatt."
"Nice to meet you Leo… again," once again the two smiled in duet. "And well I'm Piper Halliwell."
"I know…. I mean Cole told me…. He seemed to know a lot about you." She smiled with approval, although found his mumbling amusing as it made her relax at the fact he was as nervous as herself.
"Well I hope it was all good," she finished and the two carried on talking and preparing dinner together.
Four hours later, Piper and Leo where standing by the open front door. Cole and Glenn had left, as had Roger. Well in Roger's case he had been kicked out, Prue had got sick with him asking about Phoebe. She had quiet literally had enough.
But Leo, Leo had stayed and had happily helped Piper with the washing up, (well that's if you count having a water fight, and throwing suds at each other doing the washing up. If you do though, he truly was an angle.)
"So Mr. Wyatt will I ever see you again?" Piper playfully inquired.
"Why Miss Halliwell how could you think I would not want to see you again."
She laughed, "well maybe because the first time you meet me I was being attacked, then I was drunk, and then I had my ass in the air. So maybe you might just think I'm some daft cow, who gets in trouble, can't look after herself, is an alcoholic, and has a bad ass. Oh and I'm sure my little sisters flicking pees at you though out dinner put you off, am I right?" Leo laughed this time, showing of his beautiful white teeth.
Prue watched the couple from the kitchen. She was drying a plate for the 18th time; she just couldn't stop watching though.
She had never seen Piper so relaxed, happy, and comfortable with a man and it was all because of him.
She knew that Piper was dating Dan, but she wished she would dump him for Leo secretly. Although she had only known him for four hours excluding the time they had met the previous night, and yet she already trusted him with her little sister. Which was truly an achievement, compared after three years she still didn't trust Dan, not even with a pencil.
Leo looked at Piper's beautiful face, how could he think anything of the sort. As he raised his eyes he noticed Prue standing in the kitchen, mindlessly drying a plate. "Em does your sister always do that?" he asked slightly embarrassed that she had probably heard it all, and would have nearly heard what he was about to say.
Piper slowly turned around and saw her sister, who had evidently disappeared over to the sink. 'Nosy cow,' Piper thought to herself, with a silent chuckle, before smiling to Leo and turning back around to those green eyes.
'Shit! I've been caught, damn! Prue thought 'and just as it was being to get interesting.' She muttered to herself as she stepped over to the sink to finish the drying up, although in her opinion she might as well of rewashed them while she was there. "God only knows what Piper and Leo had been playing at," she said with a sly grin on her face.
Piper stood out in front of the door, and closed it behind her, then her and Leo took a seat on the steps together.
"So," she prompted.
Leo looked back at her blankly though. "What?" he asked confused.
"Was I right?" she prompted again.
"Oh…. Well no," she smiled, but wasn't at all surprised. "I mean, I didn't think…. I don't think those things…. About you."
"Yes, so what do, you think about me?"
"Right, well…. I thought you where…." He suddenly became stuck, and just, as he was about to talk. His brain turned off and his heart seemed to uncontrollably take over. "I thought you were beautiful, brave, adventurous, not afraid of living life, did I say beautiful." She laughed, "with a fantastic laugh and not forgetting one hell of a ass."
She blushed violently. "Well, thank you." She said trying to calm herself down, but failing badly.
He stood up and helped her to her feet, as well. That's when he did it; he brushed her hair out of her face, and slowly lowered his face to hers.
She knew what he was doing, but she wanted it, she knew she shouldn't, she had Dan, and she wasn't single. But she wanted it so badly; she had wanted it since she had first seen those green eyes.
She slowly closed her own, and their lips finally met. Slowly tongues slipped into others mouths, tasting each other's sweet, luxurious taste, as they massage one another. Hands ran though hair, and down backs, taking in every curve and wave, while scents where captured.
She never wanted it to stop but knew she should and with that she suddenly pulled away, leaving him dazzled.
'Had he done wrong? Hadn't she wanted it? She probably hated him know? Idiot! Bloody idiot!' all thoughts suddenly roaming though Leo's mind.
She looked up at him, he looked so lost, saddened, confused but mostly hurt. She knew she shouldn't but she had to, well more she wanted to. She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into the most passionate kiss she had ever given, and he definitely returned the favour.
