With A Little Help From Fate-Chapter 2- 'Years Later…'
'I've known Leo since college.' Came the drunken voice of Leo's best friend Sam. 'We were best friends, always went everywhere. Always asked girls out together. Got knocked back together.' He joked and Leo smiled and shook his head. He put his arm around the woman sitting beside him. He fiddled with the clasp on her necklace and continued to listen to Sam. 'I knew the minute Leo brought this girl home that she was the one for him. She was the one who would straighten him out. I can't imagine anyone more perfect for Leo than…Eryn.' Leo smiled and leant in and kissed his fiancé, Eryn.
'I love you.' She said.
'Love you too.' He said and nibbled on her ear softly.
'Ok well I have to go put Courtney to bed now. So good night.' Sam said as rhey left the hotel. His wife, Courtney, held him upright as he had had one too many.
'Ok. Good night Sam. Night Court.' Eryn said and gave a small wave. Courtney did the same and dragged Sam back to their house a few blocks up.
'Do you think we'll ever out romance Sam and Courtney?' Eryn asked and she kissed Leo's cheek and laid her head on his shoulder.
'I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen them argue.' He caressed her cheek and kissed her head.
'Ok well good night children.' Eryn's mother said as she came out the door with her husband.
'Yeah we had better head off too.' Leo's father said and patted Leo on the back.
'Night Dad.' Leo said. 'Good night Mom, thanks for coming.' He said and kissed her cheek and gave her a hug. Leo's parents got into their taxi and drove home. Eryn's parents were staying at the Waldorf so they headed to their room.
'I think I'll stay here tonight if that's ok?' Eryn asked Leo who wasn't paying much attention to her.
'Yeah sure. I'd better head back to the apartment. I've got some more work to do.' He said.
'Ok. Night.' She said and they kissed softly and then she walked inside. He watched her walk inside and watched as the revolving doors did circular movements until they stopped. Then he began walking down the block, staring occasionally to the stars.
On the other side of North America in San Francisco Piper was heading to work. She worked as a Counsellor for troubled teenagers. She was training to be a child psychiatrist but this job was good to pay the bills. She walked up the stone steps into the main building then to her small office where her first patient, James was waiting for her. James had been coming to see her for a few months and she had become quite a good friend to him.
'She just walked out of the hall with out a goodbye.' James said as he sat on the large leather sofa, a pillow under his arms. 'I mean Piper she was my soul mate.'
'I think to use the term 'soul mate' is dangerous. I mean to think that there is one person out there for one of us is scary.' She said.
'I can't believe that is coming from you Piper.' James said and sat up. 'I mean don't you believe in love-at-first-sight? Soul mates?'
'No I don't. I believe that if we find love then we are very lucky.' She said. Their session continued to be like this. James unloading all his teenage problems to Piper and her nodded occasionally but today, today her mind wandered a lot. Wandered to something she shouldn't have been thinking about.
As she boarded the ferry to cross the small area of sea she handed in her boarding pass. It read. 'Piper Halliwell'. She got aboard and looked out to sea and smiled at the view. She really did live in one of the prettiest parts of the world. The sun was setting and its rays creating long shadows in the sea. When she got off the ferry she got into her car and started the engine to begin her short journey home. 15 minutes later she pulled up to her house and locked her car. She put her key in the lock but she found it was already unlocked. She opened the door, curiosity playing on her mind. As soon as she opened it the scent of Roses filled her airways and she looked down and saw Rose petals spread all over the main entrance to her house. The Rose path lead to a large box wrapped in tissue paper. She smiled widely and began tearing at it. She opened the lid to reveal another box was inside it. She lifted it out and unwrapped it. This scenario continued until she came to small box. She unwrapped it and looked inside. Her eyes widened. It was a jewellery box. She lifted it out and opened it slowly. When she opened it there was nothing inside it. Her face fell slightly.
'You have to say yes first.' She turned around to see her boyfriend, now fiancé, Finley.
'Yes.' She said as tears welled up in her eyes. He walked over to her holding the white gold engagement ring. He held up her hand and slipped it on but it got stuck,
'Um..' He said and continued to force it down.
'Aow.' She said. 'Aow aow aow.' She said and kissed her finger.
'You're not going to look into this are you Piper? I mean we can get it changed.' He said.
'I know. I know. It's beautiful.' She said and held it in her hand. She smiled at him and kissed him and then he hugged him.
