"Umm...hi. This is Leo. Leo Wyatt. I was wondering if you would want to go out sometime. With me that is. Well, call me when you get back home."

Leo hung up his phone. He just left a third message on Kaila's phone. He had tried calling her Monday, and then again on Thursday. Today was Saturday, and he couldn't get a hold of her still.

Leo was beginning to think that he didn't have a chance with her. After all, a girl usually calls after you've left them a message, and he had left three. He wondered if he had done something wrong. Seemed too...eager to get into a relationship. But who could blame him? He was 30 and still alone.

He couldn't let that bother him right now though. He had bigger things to worry about. He had a feeling that he was going to be in big trouble for missing work yesterday.

Piper woke up and felt nauseous, but she passed it off as a little stomach flu.

'Crap,' She thought as she got ready to run some errands. 'I have night shift till midnight.' It was a well-known fact that the midnight shift, as Piper and her co-workers liked to call it, was the worst. It was filled with the horrible drunks, 50-year-old guys who hit on the waitresses, all the depressed wives whose husbands were cheating on them, and the cheating husbands whose wives threw them out. The shift got paid the least, and had to clean up the counters and bathrooms that usually had been thrown up in. In two words: It sucked.

"Its not like I can really quit though is it?" She asked her reflection. She had big dreams a few years back, but the teasing and being laughed at wasn't worth it so she didn't go to college. She assumed it would have been just like High school.

Piper walked to her closet and pulled out a pair of worn jeans and a pale blue halter. She slipped on white tennis shoes and headed out the door after making sure her hair looked fine.

It was about noon and Leo was sitting at a coffee shop waiting for Kaila. She had called back later that morning asking him to meet her there. She had been gone to visit her parents who lived in Chicago, and had just got back.

"Hi Leo." Kaila said sweetly looking at him as she sat down, her turquoise eyes sparkling.

"Kaila. It's good to see you again. For a moment I thought you had forgotten about me." Leo said with a joking grin on his face.

"I would never forget you." Kaila said blushing and looking away awkwardly.

"So how was Chicago?"

"Good. I hadn't seen my parents for a while so it was really nice to see them again."

"I bet. My parents died a little while back. I'm over it now though." Leo added the last part hastily not wanting her to feel sorry for him.

"Oh. It must have been hard." Kaila said with sympathy in her voice.

"I'm over it by now. I love them, but I know they're in a good place."

"I see. So, you left three messages on my phone?" Kaila asked with a teasing smirk.

"Well I wanted to get a hold of you beca... No it will sound stupid." Leo said blushing.

"I promise I won't laugh."

"Umm...fine. IwantedtogetaholdofyoubecauseIreallylikeyou. Leo finished in a rush.

"Could you repeat that?"

"I wanted to get a hold of you because I really like you." Leo said nervously looking away.

"I really like you too." Kaila said smiling.

"Well, umm, would you want to officially become my girlfriend?" Leo asked hopefully, smiling. She made him feel like a teenager again.

"I would love that."

"Could I pick you up tonight around seven then?" Leo wondered.

"Yeah, but I want to pick the place. My sister works at this bar-slash-club place, and I haven't been there a while."

"That sounds great. Wow. Already I'm meeting the family and we haven't even been on one date." He joked.
