A/n: Omg I haven't updated this in a YEAR. I am so far behind… I've become the thing I hate the most: An author who neglects her work. Lmao, okay that's done. Um let's see… sorry if this is a crappy chapter but gimme time, I'm out of practice! Anyway thank you for all the reviews which I don't deserve because I'm evil and horrible and demonical for not updating… I hope you people will forgive me! This chapter takes place about a year and a half from when they moved in.

"Morning sweeties," Paige grinned as she walked into the kitchen and found Piper and Leo sitting at the table reading different sections of the paper and drinking coffee. Piper looked up and smiled, "Somebody got some last night." Leo grinned and took a sip of his coffee but didn't look up from his paper.
"Hm… Think you know me so well… Why do you automatically assume that I slept with Robbie, maybe I'm just in love," Paige said acting offended. "Because I saw him leave this morning at about six o'clock," Leo answered, his grin widened and he still didn't look up. Paige stuck her tongue out to both of them as she got the orange juice out of the refrigerator.
"So anyone have plans today?" she asked. "Babysitting Prue," Piper said referring to Phoebe's 3 month old. "Whoa, parents first time away, bet Cole's having a hard time prying Phoebe away," Paige smirked. "No kidding," Piper rolled her eyes. "What about you Leo," Paige asked. "Hanging out with an old friend," he said looking at his watch. "Actually I should leave now… I'll see you girls tonight," he said before getting up and walking out of the door.
Piper sighed. "What?" asked Paige. Piper shook her head. "What is with you lately? You haven't gone out on a date in months! I mean, if you're still holding out for Leo, then okay but that's slim chance since you won't ask him out except you haven't even been flirting with him lately!" Paige said in a blur. Piper started laughing. "What is so funny?" Paige asked. "You're a fiery red head Paige," Piper grinned.
"Right… Come on, I'm just concerned Pipe," Paige said becoming serious. Piper straightened up. "I want to ask Leo out, I'm totally prepared for it… It's just…" she trailed off. "Just what? I see nothing stopping you," Paige shrugged. "It's just that it would be stupid, I mean I'm like his landlord for Christ's sake… Then we have this really great friendship and I don't wanna lose that…" "Piper calm down, you're thinking about the breakup before you even have a relationship," Paige frowned.
"Look, even if I am stupid enough to ask him out, he's not stupid enough to accept," Piper said looking down. Before Paige could say another word Piper was up and halfway out the door. "I'll be back at 6," she said, grabbing her keys and walking out.

"Hey Paige," Leo said walking in on Paige during an "I Love Lucy" marathon. "Leo, hey, wanna watch with me?" she asked motioning to the television. "Uh, that's okay, that's not quite my thing," he smiled. Paige rolled her eyes. "Piper's not back?" he asked. "No, not for a couple hours…" she trailed off and then grinned at the prospect of an idea. "But you know what Leo, I bet she's lonely, you want something to do?" she asked.
"Go visit her?" he asked looking confused. "Bingo!" Paige said. "Care to come?" he asked. "Well… see I've been planning for both of us to go when you got home – sorry it was without your consent – but then Robbie called and you know things are going well and well…" "You'd rather go see him." Leo finished for her. "Of course, so yeah, why don't you go visit Piper and I'll go visit Robbie," Paige grinned.

Ding dong
"Coming!" Piper called. She grabbed Prue and headed to the door. "Leo!" she cried in a happy surprise as she opened it and saw him standing there. "Hey, Paige decided for the both of us that we'd surprise you but she kind of fell through," he joked with a giant grin. Piper frowned for a split second. This was Paige's idea. This would backfire. "Well thank you for a wonderful surprise and I'll yell at Paige later," she said returning to her smile.
She let him in and introduced him to Prue before putting her down for her nap. "Well are you hungry? We can raid Phoebe's fridge," Piper said raising her eyebrows. "You get the food, I'll see what's on TV," Leo suggested. "Love how your mind works," she told him laughing. So they sat on the loveseat close as possible and with Piper laying her head on Leo's shoulder. She suddenly realized how awkward that was and jerked up quickly.
Oh no, that was embarrassing… she thought and quickly pretended to scratch the back of her neck then moved a little farther from him. She became comfortable again and absorbed in the movie until the end, when she realized Leo's arm was wrapped around her waist and she was leaning into him. This wasn't as awkward as she would've imagined. It just felt right.
The thing is hat Leo thought the same. They both felt their stomachs churn in butterflies. Piper snuggled closer into him until the credits came on.

Well that was a cliffy but you probably didn't catch it. My minds a bit reeled with ideas so I'll get back to this later. It's probably not worth reviews but they make me happy and me being happy is good right? I'm gonna take this time to tell you about The Power Of Four because it has gotten 150 hits in the past two or so days and yet the new chapter has 0 reviews! I know I said it doesn't deserve them but I was in a crappy mood then and I do think that it should at least get some bad reviews that'll tell me in what direction you want the story to go.
Okay, much love, Ash
