Chapter 3:
Early the next morning Leo came into Piper's room with a tray of toast and omelet. "Good morning Birthday girl" he whisperedas she opened her eyes, "I love you" he said, but this time it didn't feel as distant and he knew that he truly loved her. "Aw Leo, this is so sweet, thanks honey." "You're welcome, would you like some orange juice with that?" Leo asked as he walked towards the stairs. "Yes please" Piper said as she blew him a kiss, "I love you too Leo" As Leo walked into the kitchen to get the orange juice, Phoebe was sitting at the counter eating her breakfast. "Morning Phoebe" Leo said feeling a slight tingly feeling in his stomach. "Good Morning Leo" she said turning to smile at him, "How are you this morning?" "I'm good thanks I was just getting some orange juice for Piper" "I like orange juice too, you know" said Phoebe walking her fingers softly up his neck. "Phoebe" Leo said grabbing her hand and holding it to him, "We can't do this. I love Piper and she's my wife" "You're right, I know" Phoebe said pulling her hand away, "It's just that for the first time in months I feel like I can be happy and…" "I know" Leo interrupted, "Believe me, for some reason I feel that way too. And when I'm around you it's, it's intoxicating, but it doesn't change the facts. Piper is your sister, and she's my wife." "I know and I love Piper too, but just know that I will still secretly love you." "And I will have feelings for you too" Leo said as he kissed Phoebe on the forehead and went upstairs with the orange juice.
"Ranakor!" "What is it?" Ranakor asked as he looked up to see one of his clan fuming in front of him. "Your plan didn't work, he rejected her flat out and went to Piper" Looking at his minion with mild amusement Ranakor replied, "I told you that they would try to resist at first. Somewhere deep down, their souls know that they don't love each other and that Piper deserves better." "Well then what good does that do us?" yelled his minion before he was quickly cut off by Ranakor. "You didn't let me finish" Ranakor replied, "Some where there souls know it is wrong, but that doesn't mean that they don't have human hearts. They are weak, full of mortal flaws and all we have to do is wait until their lust, which they believe is love, grows too strong and overthrows their sense of propriety. It shouldn't be too much longer." Turning to his minion Ranakor said "Just watch, he'll change his mind as soon as Piper leaves the house. Perhaps you're right though and we should give them a small push, just incase."
