Thanks for the reviews. Just to clear something up- no-one has powers in the story and won't be having them in the future either!
Piper opened her eyes, and immediately wished she hadn't. Everything was coming back to her, the drinking, the guy, the… She looked over her shoulder and saw him.
"Oh crap, what have I done? Did I get so drunk that I slept with him? I don't even know what the hell his name is? Uh-oh" Piper's continual thoughts distracted her for a while, but she was brought back to reality when the guy spoke.
"Hey, nice sleep?" He asked politely, it was obvious that he had been drunk last night too but at least he had the courtesy to speak to her in the morning unlike that one guy, Dan. He turned out to be a complete jackass.
"Yeah, it was ok, I think. You?"
"Not bad. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you're in the same situation that I am: headache, stomachache, clueless as to my name?"
"Thank god it's not just me!" Piper said, completely relieved she didn't have to go through the awkward, uncomfortable silence of guessing names. "I'm Piper, and you are?"
"Jack. I'm pretty sure that we had sex since we're not wearing clothes and are in the same bed. I'm really sorry," he said sweetly.
"It's ok, we're adults, obviously at the same state in our lives. We don't have to be in a serious relationship to have sex" Piper reasoned.
"You've had more than a couple one-night stands too huh?"
"You could say that!" She said, grateful they were on the same page. "No strings attached?"
"Absolutely not. It was nice umm, meeting you. See you around." Jack said, as Piper left his apartment. Through the conversation they had managed to get up, dressed and to the door, leaving no time for idle chitchat.
Piper let out a huge sigh. Although she didn't mind being alone, and did enjoy the occasional gorgeous guys once in a while, she found herself wanting someone around a lot more recently. Maybe it was because she was turning 27, but she knew that she had to do something with a part of her life to make it all worth while.
Leo decided he wasn't going to be sudden or extravagant with his money until he had someone to spend it with, or on. That was his motivation, to get a life, friends, anything to keep him sane. He had stopped in a café for a coffee and sat down at the table opposite a gorgeous woman. She looked about 25, had brunette hair that fell into soft curls just below her shoulders and piercing turquoise eyes. In fact, he remembered bumping into her yesterday afternoon.
'It couldn't hurt to say hello' he thought so he walked over to her and spoke with as much confidence as he could find.
"Hi, I couldn't help but notice that you're alone and was wondering if your name was Kaila, we met yesterday," Leo said, trying not to look like a stalker.
"Oh yeah, Leo right?" Kaila asked.
"Yeah, do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all. So what do you do for a living?" Kaila replied, wanting him to stay.
After a comfortable, fun lunch with such an amazing girl, Leo's spirits were lifted. Maybe he had a chance. He had her number anyway.
You know that quick lovely thing that people do, please review. It means so much to us.
