With A Little Help From Fate-Chapter 8-'Is this really it?'

Leo couldn't run out of the store faster than possible. He opened his car and looked at the address once more. Would he be really coming face to face with this woman after all these years? His hands trembled slightly as he gripped the steering wheel. He shook his head slightly. 'Get a grip of yourself.' He told himself. 'It's just a girl.' He continued talking to himself, reassuring himself. A few people walked past looking at him oddly as if he had gone crazy. He stiffened up and took a strong, firm grip on the wheel and started the engine. He took one last glance at the address and drove off in the direction of the apartments.

After several minutes of forcing, Piper finally convinced Finley to leave. It's not that she didn't want him there. She had came to New York to get away from all the hectic life and wedding plans and Finley appearing out of no where hadn't helped much. She explained all of this to him and Finley, being the understanding man that he was, left a few moments after he had arrived. She loved him dearly. He was perfect, he listened to her and most of all, he loved her for who she was and that meant a lot to Piper. She noticed a $1 note sitting on the side table and she lifted it up and turned it over to see if there was anything written on it. She smiled to herself when she didn't find anything. She looked at her reflection and sighed. She looked a mess. Her hair was all tousled and her eyes were very heavy. She looked to her empty suitcase sitting on the bed. She sighed and began to pack her suitcase.

Leo pulled up to the apartments and turned the engine off. He breathed heavily and then got out of the car. He locked it and then went to the door. Should he be doing this? I mean, he was getting married in two days. Was this something a 'soon-to-be-married' guy does before his wedding? He simply shrugged to himself and began to walk up the steps.

'I'm sorry. Who?' Was the reply Leo got when a man came to the door and answered his question.

'I'm not sure of her name but she has long brown hair and she's sorta small.' Leo said using his hand to make gestures.

'Nope. No idea.' He replied. Leo sighed and tried again.

'She lived in a few years ago. She was from San Francisco.' He said. The man's face suddenly changed.

'I have a painting.' He said and invited Leo inside. Leo took one look around and could tell this guy was an artist. There were sheets of canvas around the room and there was an easel at the corner of the room. Various paintings were scattered around the room as well. He continued glancing around the room until he saw the man walk back in with a small abstract painting of what he presumed to be a woman.

'Voila.' The man said and smiled broadly.

'Uh…that's her?' Leo asked.

'Yeah. An exact replica.'

'Oh. Ok. Thanks. I'd best be going.' Leo said and shook the mans free hand. 'Good bye.' Leo took one last glance at the painting and then left without another word.

'Ally I'm ok traveling on my own. You just stay and have a good time.' Piper said as she took her seat on the plane and got comfortable.

'I know but..' Ally said as she went through some outfits to wear to Eryn's wedding tomorrow.

'But nothing. I'll be good.' Piper said. She looked up to the front of the plane where an air steward was signing for her to get off the phone. 'Oh I think I have to turn my cell off. The lady is making weird signs. Bye, have fun.' Piper turned her phone off and placed it in her bag.

'Head phones.' An air steward said to her.

'Yes thanks.' Piper said as she got her purse out and handed money to her. She handed Piper a set of headphones and then turned to the lady opposite Piper. Piper looked to the air steward and watched her give the lady change. She widen her eyes when she noticed a name written on the back of the note. It was then that she remembered the man's name from all those years ago. She stood up quickly. 'Sorry that's mine.' She said and took the note off the lady.

'Excuse me!' The air steward said. 'Come back here!' Piper ignored the women and ran straight past her and out of the plane. She continued running through the departure lounge, her long hair swaying from side to side with each swift movement. She ran out of the airport and held out her hand. 'Taxi!' She shouted. Her breathing was all over the place and her hands were trembling. She looked to the $1 again. 'Leo Wyatt 555-545' When she looked up a taxi had pulled up. She got in and took out her cell phone. 'Hello? Can I have the address for a Leo Wyatt. Wyatt, W.Y.A.T.T.' She said and smiled slightly. 'Wyatt Manor? Ok thank you.' She hung up and then looked to the taxi driver. 'You heard me. Go!' She sighed heavily and then leant back into the seat still looking at the $1.

'Ok this is the part where Leo and Eryn will say their vows.' Leo heard the minister say. His eyes were everywhere but Eryn. He couldn't concentrate, his mind was wandering to different things and he couldn't control himself. 'And Leo will be looking at Eryn at this point.' Leo heard this and looked to the minister and smiled slightly. A rupture of laughter came from some of people on the seats. A few moments later the minister finished and Leo took a seat. He turned around to see a strange lady sitting watching them.

'Eryn, who's that?' He whispered.

'Oh that's Ally, she's an old friend from college.' Eryn said and turned around and waved to Ally who waved back. Leo smiled at her and then looked back to Eryn. 'Leo, I have something for you.' She smiled and lifted a bag from under her chair. She handed it to him. He opened the wrapping paper and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the contents. 'It's just everytime we go into a book store I always see you looking at it and I checked your bookcase and you don't have it so…' She said. Leo smiled and read the title again. 'Love In The Time of Cholera.' He opened the front cover and his heart skipped a beat when he noticed what was written inside it. 'Piper Halliwell 555-654' 'It's perfect. Thank you.' He said to Ally and kissed her cheek. 'I have to go now sorry.' He said and stood up rather quickly than normal. He walked over to Sam and grabbed his shoulder. 'We have to go.'

'Huh? What?' Sam said. Leo opened the book and Sam read the inside. His eyes widened slightly. The two of them shared a look and then excused themselves and exited the hotel and called for a taxi.

Okies that ends that chapter. I just wanted to get to the point where they find each other's names etc. Was it good? Is it worth continuing? Also I have two ideas for a new fic but I want your opinion.

New Idea I: 'Untitled'- Piper Halliwell is a single working mother who lives in San Francisco with her two sons Wyatt and Chris. Their father left them when Piper was pregnant with Chris and she is struggling to look after herself and her young sons. Leo Wyatt is a high flying lawyer in NYC and has all the money in the world but with all his future he can't have the one thing he needs most. Piper Halliwell and his son. What happens when Leo is called to a conference in San Francisco and Piper and Leo's paths collide? Will love spark again?

New Idea 2: 'Untitled'- Piper Halliwell hasn't had the best of relationships. Her previous partner was cruel to her and broke her heart on a number of times. Leo Wyatt is a hard-working business man who doesn't have time for women and has a long list of one-night stands. What happens when Piper bumps into Leo on a street? Will their lives change for the better?

I have the first chapters written for each of those but I will continue with the one that people like best I guess. Thanks, Molly xXx
