Oh Leo, why are you Leo? Chapter 10, a charmed fanfic

CHAPTER 10: THIS IS LOVE

Victor put his bags in hallway and started to go upstairs.

"Stay here!", Piper whispered to Leo and quickly went out of the room.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed and ran to hug him.

Victor s face covered with smile.

"Piper! My little daughter! I have missed you sooo much!"

"I have missed ya too, Daddy! Come on, lets go downstairs, there is something left from dinner. You must be starving – she pulled Victor downstairs.

"Where is everybody anyway?", asked Victor.

"Grams went to Mrs Johnson, it is her birithday. Prue and Phoebe went outside."

"Why did not you went?", asked Victor while he washed hands.

"Well…umm…I…see, I…"

Victor saw dishes. He raised one eyebrow.

"Piper, are you alone?"

Piper sighed. She was never good at lying.. And, she could not lie to her father. So, she shook her head.

"No…I am not."

Victor looked to her with question in his eyes. Piper quietly said:

"Leo is here."

Victor s eyes widened:

"PIPER!"

"Daddy, it is not what ya think! We are practice for a play for School Day."
"Oh, really?", smiled Victor. "And what is the play about?"
"Romeo and Juliet", said Piper innocently smiling as she started to blush. Victor immediately got the picture about what is going on.

"Aaaaw, Gee!", Victor rubbed his forehead , still smiling "I really have bad timing, don t I?"

"No, Daddy, it is…"

"Tell you what", said Victor, taking newspapers in hands "Look, there is good movie in cinema. I could go check on it."

"No, Daddy, really, it is okay…", tried Piper to protest, but without success; Victor already put his jacket on and kissed his daughter on cheek.

"Be clever!", he said to her smiling and went out of the house.

Piper smiled and went upstairs. She opened doors of her room laughing.

"Sorry for that", she smiled "It was my Dad. He just moved back in. If it was for Grams, you would have to go home outside my window!"

"Gee, forbidden love! Just like Romeo and Juliet!", smiled Leo and Piper laughed.

"We are alone again, my father went outside". Are you in mood for Nes coffee?"

"How could I say no to such a gorgeous cooker?", Leo winkled to her and Piper hit him lightly on hand. They went downstairs and prepared Nes coffee. They sat on the floorbeside couch and spent first moments just kissing each other while "Runaway" from "Corrs" played. Cause, of course, Piper brought CD player with her.

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you

I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would run away

I would run away, yeah..., yeah

I would run away

I would run away with you

Cause I am falling in love with you

No never I'm never gonna stop

Falling in love with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor

And by candlelight, make love to me through the night

(through the night, through the night...)

Cause I have run away

I have run away, yeah..., yeah

I have run away, run away

I have run away with you

Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with you

No never I'm never gonna stop

Falling in love with you...

With you...

And I would runaway

I would runaway, yeah..., yeah

I would runaway (runaway)

I would runaway with you

Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with you

No never I'm never gonna stop

Falling in love with you...

Falling in love (falling in love) with you

No never I'm never gonna stop falling in love with you

With you, my love, with you...

na ni na ni na na...

(With you, with you, with you, with you)

After few minutes, Leo stopped the kiss and caressed Piper s cheek and said, looking her directly in her eyes:

"I love you, Piper. So much. And I am soory for all the pain I have caused to you."

This time, Piper did not interrupted him.

"I wish I could bring back time, Piper", Leo continued. "I was sooo stupid back than. Back at race, I was sooo mad cause Kim showed up and stopped our conversation. I was thinking about it and lost control over car…", he closed his eyes painfully. Piper hugged him tightly.

"Oh, Leo… I was sooo afraid for you!"

He hugged her back.

"And after you had saved me, I treated you awfull…", said Leo quietly. But, Piper put her index finger on his lips and whispered:

""It is okay, I have forgave you", she whispered while "Give it all up" from "Corrs" played.

They say that I'm crazy

And it's probably true

But I'm at my happiest

Just when I'm with you

There is a distance between us (between us...)

So far that I can't reach

The stage lights they shine so brightly

But still I find no peace

And I'm a long long way from you

I'd give it all up just for you

Just to have you near me

I'd give it all up just for you

You bring me up, you bring me down

You turn me inside out

And i'd give it all up just for you

I've been hearing some stories

Of couples so in love

But they've spent so much time apart

That they never seem to work

And I'm a long long way from you

Still I'd give it all up just for you

Just to have you near me

I'd give it all up just for you

You bring me up, you bring me down

You turn me inside out

And i'd give it all up just for you

I'd give it all up just for you

Just to have you near me

I'd give it all up just for you

You bring me up, you bring me down

You turn me inside out

And i'd give it all up just for you

Piper started to tickle Leo and teased him:
"But, I am gonna be soooo mad if you do not kiss me now!"

He laughed:

"Stop with tickling! Do not make me to make a revenge!", as Piper did not stopped , Leo made a revenge; he grabbed her and tickled her. She laughed:

"Leo, no stop it!", she was laughing sooo much that tears came to her eyes. Finally they both fell on carpet.

They were still laughing. Leo took Piper s forelock from her forehead and said:

"God, you are soo beautifull, Piper! I have always loved ya! My heart almost broke when Phoebe told me that maybe you will stay in New York forever."

Piper put her hands around Leo s neck and kissed him so lovingly while instrumental "Rebel Heart" was playing…

It was 22:30 , Grams should be home soon and Piper knew that. But, her and Leo were saying byes for last half hour.

"We will see each other tomorrow at school", said Piper and kissed him.

"I know", replied Leo and kissed her.

Than he added:

"But, who will wait until tomorrow?"

They have sink in each others embrace.

"This will not go easy", smiled Piper.

"I agree", Leo smiled, too "So, why do not you take your jacket and we can go outside a bit."

"Hmmm…okay!"

Piper quickly took her white jeans jacket and put on shoes and they ran outside. She also left message for Grams that she went outside.

Night was beautifull , not to chilli. They were walking, talking, laughing.

"You like R.E.M., right?", Piper asked Leo.

"Yeah. How do you know?", Leo was surprised.

"Well, I saw you in their T – shirt, so I supposed that you like them", smiled Piper.

"Aaaaw! I do not have that T – shirt anymore. ..I left it in wardrobe when we played one basketball game and somebody took it", said Leo sadly.

"Oh!", Piper was speechless.

:I can not find it anywhere to buy it. I was looking all over the town, but I could not find it."

Piper remembered that Prue has one friend who works in music shop in Los Angeles. Maybe they have it there…

"Did ya ever watched them live, asked Piper.

"No", replied Leo "Either I was not in town and last time I was very sick and I could not go! Gee, I almost went crazy!"

Piper smiled; she had a plan. While she was in new York, she saw schedule for R.E.M. concerts and she saw that they will also come to their place. Luckily, there were still no posters around town, so she could still make a surprise…And, she knew that it will be Leo s birithday in couple of weeksa.

Thinking like that, she did not realized that they came in front of the club.

"Wanna go in?", asked Leo.

"Are you…are you sure?", replied Piper with question, too. "You with me…are you sure?", she asked.

Leo wrapped his hands around her waist and gently said:

"Piper, you are my girlfriend. I love you sooo much! I want that everybody know that!", he kissed her long and gently. Piper was melting and she said with smile:

"When you put it like that, how can I say no?"

They went toward entrance and when they finally came in, Leo, on Piper s surprise, took her hand in his hand and went through club. He was showing to everybody that they are couple! Piper looked to him while he was trying to walk through full club. He was soooo handsome in that black shirt and jeans – and he was her boyfriend!

Leo turned to her and asked:

"Wanna drink something?"

"Sure. Ice tea would be great."

"Okay", he looked for a waiter, but there was no one in sight "I will go to get us drinks", he leaned and kissed her longly. Piper felt that world is turning around…

"I will be back in a minute", he said with smile and went toward bar.

Piper was standing there and saw sooo many surprised faces around her. She smiled to herself and took the jacket off. It was very warm in club and also Leo s love warmed her sooo much.

Music was great! Currently "Real Sugar" from "Roxette" was playing. Piper closed her eyes, enjoying in music and quietly sang:

Right in the front door I recognized the perfume
The scent was perfect in the dusk by the moon
There must be many ways to ask her to my room
Why didn't I dare?

Well, every hour I try to get somethin' done
Out in the weekend when I'm just havin' some fun
I'm windin' up with none, just zeroes, no 1's, just space with no air

Yeah, every Friday I'm gettin' ready to roll
I want her blue eyes start sayin' "Hi" and "Hellow"
but I can always tell she'd rather be alone with some other guy

I get: "Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye:"
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what you've got so what's for me?
Hey, what's for me?

I turn myself in, turn turn turn
I turn myself out, outside and in
Gimme gimme real sugar
I don't wanna climb the walls.

When she opened her eyes again, Leo was standing in front of her, smiling. She smiled, too.

"Ilove this song", she said.

"Yeah, 'Roxette' Is great band", agreed Leo and handed her ice tea.

"Thanks", she said and took a sip.

Than "Just my imagination" from "The Cranberries", started to paly.

"Wanna dance?", asked Leo with smile.

"Aaaw, I am not much of a dancer", started Piper , but Leo leaned in and whispered to her.

"Come on, please."

She felt that she is trembling.

"Okay", she whispered and put her jacket on chair and their drinks on table. They went on dance floor and Piper felt Leo s hands around her. He kissed her and circled her around in dance. She felt like she is flying, it was sooo nice and easy to dance with him…

There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and
Living not for reality

It was just my imagination
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstable

It was just my imagination

There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality

It's not my imagination
Not my

And than "Everybody hurts" started – but in "Corrs" version.

"You are gonna love this!", she said to him.

Leo listened and when he heard violin, he said:

"It is beautifull! I did not knew they play it."

"Yeah, they do. And that is my favourite 'R.E.M.' song", said Piper. They hugged each other and slowly danced.

"Piper?"

"Hm?", said Piper, with head on his shoulder, without opening her eyes. Leo went with his fingers down her spine and felt that she trembled.

"I love you", he whispered gently.

Piper sighed and looked him in his eyes.

"I love you, too", she leaned and kissed him. They were kissing whole song.

Than "Hand in my pocket" from Alanis Morissette started:

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

And, than, just from nowhere, Phoebe s squalling was heard:

"OOOOH, MYYY GOD! PIIIPEEER!"

Piper bursted to laugh and Leo did, too. They stopped with kissing and turned to Phoebe.

"Hey, Pheebs!", greeted her Piper.

"Don t ya 'Hey, Pheebs' to me, Piper Halliwell!", Phoebe was still squalling "Or should I say Piper WYATT?"

"PHOEBE!", yelled Piper and Phoebe jumped, laughed and ran off. Piper wanted that Earth opens and eats her! She slowly turned back to Leo:

"I am soooo sorry for this Leo! My sister says stupid things all the time…", she was hushed by Leo s warm smile and his index finger on her lips.

"It did not sounded stupid", he said gently "It sounded beautifull – Piper Wyatt."

Piper blushed and kissed him again, realizing what did he just said.
