Chapter 5: Late Night at the Library
Piper and Leo spent every moment they could together. Piper was afraid her grades would drop if she didn't start studying for classes and spending less time with Leo.
But Leo had the perfect solution. "Meet me at the library half an hour before it closes."
Piper did as he asked. She walked into the library and followed him upstairs to where the historical and adult fiction books were kept.
"Leo, what are we doing?" she asked.
"Shh." He motioned for her to follow him, so she did.
He led her into the women's bathroom. "What are we doing in here?" she asked.
"Hiding," he said and went into a stall. He pulled her in after him so they were squished together.
Piper didn't mind the closeness, but she did mind not knowing what was going on. "What are we doing?"
"We're going to hide here until the guard makes him last rounds. Since he's a guy, he'll just yell into the bathroom. When no one answers, he'll lock up and leave. That leaves us with the library to ourselves."
Piper smiled at him. "Really?"
"Really." He brought her closer and kissed her. "There's about fifteen minutes left until the guard leaves, and I know what we can do until then," he said with a sly smile.
Piper smiled back. "Oh do you?"
Piper and Leo didn't break away until fifteen minutes later when the guard called into the restroom, "Is anybody in there?"
Piper and Leo held still, holding their breaths, hoping the guard wouldn't notice them. The door shut and the guard walked away.
Piper and Leo released their breaths, but not their embrace. "We should go," Piper said, breathless.
Leo nodded his head. "Okay."
With some difficulty they both slid out of the stall. Leo took a flashlight out of his bag and headed out of the bathroom. Piper followed close, holding on to the back of his shirt.
"This is creepy," she whispered as she followed Leo and his flashlight.
"Are you scared," he asked her, amused.
"No, I am not. It's just strange."
Leo stopped and handed her the flashlight. "Go find the books you need." Piper just stood there, flashlight in hand. "Did you want me to go with?" he asked. She nodded her head. "Fine, let's go."
Three hours later, Piper finished her studying and closed the book she was looking in. She let out a huge yawn and laid her head on Leo's shoulder. "I'm tired."
"Come on, let's go." He helped her off the floor. He helped her put the books back on the shelves.
Soon, they were out of the library. "Thanks, Leo. That was very sweet of you."
He put his arm around her. "No problem. I rather enjoyed it. Especially hiding out in the bathroom."
Piper smiled at that. "I liked that too."
They were almost to his dorm room. Her dorm was still on the other side of campus. She really didn't want to walk all the way to her dorm.
She told Leo so.
"Well, you could sleep in my dorm."
"Can I?"
"Sure. Darryl and I are the only ones in out tri, so we have an extra bed."
"But what about your RA?" she asked, wondering about his room attendant. "Won't he turn us in?"
"He's cool. He won't say a word."
Piper was about to ask another question, but Leo pulled her close and kissed her. "You talk too much," he said when the kiss ended.
Piper smiled at him. "So what?"
Leo just shrugged his shoulders and they began to make their way up to his dorm room, never breaking contact. He walked backwards and she had her arms around his neck. A few times Leo stumbled as he made his way up the stairs, almost losing his balance.
It wasn't until the top step that they toppled over on top of each other. Piper squealed with laughter as she fell on top of Leo. She quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to wake Leo's neighbors.
Leo helped her off the ground and she could tell he was struggling to restrain his laughter. It wasn't until they were both in his dorm that they broke out in laughter.
Darryl came out of his room, clad only in boxer shorts. "What's going on?" When he saw Piper, he blushed. "If I knew you were having a sleepover, I would have invited Shelia."
Pier laughed. "She would have loved that. If Kim wasn't our roommate, I would recommend that you go over to our dorm now, but Kim would probably get jealous and turn you in. Stupid bitch."
Leo and Darryl looked at her in surprise. "What?"
"It's just…I've never heard you talk like that."
"She has it coming, believe me."
"Oh, I believe you. Don't you worry about that."
Leo led Piper to the empty bedroom. "Where's the bathroom?" she asked. Leo showed her to the bathroom, located next to his room.
After Piper finished, she didn't go back to the spare room. Instead, she went into Leo's room and laid on the bed with him, holding his hand, as if it was the most natural thing.
Before she knew it, Leo was lying on top of her, kissing her enticingly. His kiss deepened, as if asking more?
She kissed him deeper in response. Their clothes seemed dissolved and Piper was lying on her back, Leo gently caressing her. Piper pulled him into a long, deep kiss.
"Are you sure?" he whispered breathlessly.
Piper didn't reply. She enticed him into a kiss filled with all the passion and emotion she felt for him. Leo didn't need any other answer.
