Leo was nervous. Which was odd. He had never been nervous before. Not even the biggest job he had had before this one. He had never been nervous, and he didn't know why he was now. After a while he put it down to the fact that this was probably the biggest job any darkighter would have to face. Either that or she'd be wearing a skirt and he'd mess up. He shook his head ad raked a shaky hand through his messy hair. Piper. He glanced back at the clock behind him. 5.50. Showtime, he smiled a smiled crookedly and orbed out, to the car.

Piper stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room, contemplating her appearance. She was wearing a black mini skirt, which reached mid-thigh at the longest and a red tank top. Did she look too slutty? Too dressy? Too casual? She could really use some sisterly advice right about now. But that was one thing she couldn't have. She sighed. She was nervous.

She had butterflies fluttering around in her well-toned stomach, well, not so much fluttering as break-dancing. She hadn't felt anything like this since high school. And she was glad. She checked her appearance again and reached for the hairbrush on her bed. She had opted to have her hair down for a change and in loose curls. But it needed brushing, for the 50th time. She turned around to look at the clock on her bedroom wall. 5 to 5. Almost time. She took another shaky breath and descended down the stairs just in time to hear 4 little knocks on the front door of the manor.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo stood outside the manor and his first instinct was to run. But he didn't, instead he knocked on the door softly. So softly, it was almost as if he didn't want her to hear them. But through the frosted glass he saw the outline f Piper walking towards the door and he cursed under his breath, waiting for the door to swing open and for her to be stood in front him. I wonder if she's wearing a skirt. He didn't have to wonder for long, as the door opened and there she stood, in all her glory.

Leo's eyes quickly scanned her flawless body. Her hair was down for once and, she looked stunning with it up, but down, it was completely breath taking. She was wearing a little red tank top, which showed a small, but perfect portion of her mid-drift. She was also wearing a short black skirt, which showed, off her fantastic legs. Leo was stuck for words, for the first time in his life.

"Wow," was all her could stutter out, she smiled back at him, "I mean, you look…well, you look great."

"Thanks you too." She flashed him another smile and he smiled back.

"You wanna go?" Leo asked, Piper nodded and turned to reach for her jacket.

Leo stopped her and grabbed it. He put it on her and, his hand briefly brushed her shoulder. The sensation of her skin against his, made him take in a sharp breath. Desperately trying to ignore the burning feeling in his skin and in his blood, when turned back around and she gave him another smile. Not knowing what they were doing to him.

"Ready?" he asked, voice husky with desire, but she didn't notice

"Yeah." She told him, he took her arm and walked her out to his car.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Piper stood staring at Leo across the table. He was so handsome, his hair was a dirty blonde colour and he was wearing a black t-shirt, which clung to, and accentuated his toned muscles in his chest and stomach and dark blur denim jeans, that were just tight enough. But Piper was more focused on his eyes than anything else. They were a stunning shade of green. They sparkled constantly and looked as if they saw right into your soul. They were now sitting in silence after a delicious meal. Leo looked at her.

"How's your sister?" He asked

"Fine, well, she's awake and fully aware and everything." Piper told him, a little smile curving in her perfect lips

"How are you and you're other sisters coping?" He asked, in a caring voice

"Good, better than last time…" Piper trailed off

"Last time?" Leo asked confused, Piper nodded sadly

"Yeah, about 5 years ago, it was when she was giving birth to the triplets. They were born 3 months premature and there were complications. She haemorrhaged and they had to go into a c-section. They couldn't stop the bleeding and she lost a lot of blood. When they finally did she was in a coma for about a month. We were all a wreck, but she pulled through and…" Piper choked up into tears.

Leo didn't like it. Sure he had seen her cry before but somehow it was different. Before he knew what he was doing he reached out and brushed the tears off of her rosy cheeks. She forced out a watery smile for him and lowered his hand slowly to his side.

"Come, let's get you home." He said softly and she nodded slightly.

He stood up and walked over to her. He reached for her hand an pulled her up. It was then that he realised how small she looked. She was about a head shorter than him. Leo looked down at her, He wanted to protect her and hold her and make everything all right. He wanted to tear out Jeremy's throat for hurting someone so perfect. She looked so innocent stood next to him at that moment and Leo loved it. He slung a strong arm protectively around her slender shoulders and walked her out to his car.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Piper stared up Leo. He was avoiding her gaze and she didn't know why. She had had a fantastic time tonight. Leo had made her laugh and smile more in one night than she had done in years combined. She was falling for him and she knew it.

"I had a great time tonight Leo." She told him searching his face

"Me too." He said and finally looked back at her, right in the eyes.

That was his first mistake. He looked into her eyes. Her deep wonderful brown eyes. And Leo was lost. He couldn't think move or speak. He was frozen in time, with this beautiful woman, with her legs and her eyes and Leo wanted to stay there forever. She looked back at him. Green met brown and time stood still.

Leo knew what was going to happen next. He knew it had to, but also, he didn't want to, because it meant, no turning back, it meant that the job would have to be finished. He would have to kill her and that scared him a little. But he fought back that feeling. This is it Leo. He leaned forward and kissed her.

It wasn't a particularly passionate kiss in that sense. Merely a brush of the lips, but Leo felt something. A rush of pure un-deniable goodness, shock the hate and anger out of his system for the few moments that the kiss lasted. As soon as his lips touched hers he was hit in a hazy-vertigo and his mind clouded over. He had never felt anything like it before. He pulled back slowly and smiled at her. She smiled back up at him

"Good night Leo." She whispered, kissed him once more and walked into the manor, closing the door behind her.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo just stood there in shock. He couldn't move, or think again. It took him a while to gather himself. How did she do that? He wondered and heard a low-pitched jingle in the back of his head. He wouldn't orb up to them just yet, he needed to think about things, and there was only one place Leo could properly do that. So he orbed out, up to the Golden Gate Bridge.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Piper leaned on the door after she closed it. Wow, was all she could think. They had kissed. And it was awesome. She didn't think she had ever been kissed like that. Not by Jeremy or any of her other previous boyfriends. No one had ever sparked off so much emotion in their kisses and she knew that Leo felt it too. She knew he did. He had to have done. She smiled to herself again, looking forward to meeting him again. Looking forward to kissing him again….
