"Piper!"
Piper kept on walking, ignoring Leo's cries
"PIPER! Piper please listen!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT LEO?" she said whirling around in anger
"I want you to listen!"
"Ok fine! I'm listening, explain yourself, let's hear you bullshit your way out of this one…you told me that you weren't like "that," you said that you didn't care if anyone saw you with me, and like an idiot, I believed you. But the minute Andrea walked through that door you acted like you were invisible you--"
"PIPER WILL YOU PLEASE LISTEN! It's not like that at all…" he pleaded
"Then what's it like then Leo?"
"I didn't want her to see me, not because of you, I didn't want her to see me, period." He sighed before continuing, "We're on a break again, and I was hoping that this would be it…that our meaningless relationship would be over. Because when I'm with her…I'm a different person…I'm someone I don't wanna be…"
"What does this have to do with me?" she asked calmer.
"Because…" Leo paused before continuing, "because when I'm with you…I'm myself…"
Piper sighed, "I feel like a fool…"
"Don't…cause you're not…" he said walking over, "come on, let's get you home…"
The two approached the front door to the manor. They stopped right in front of the door. Leo looked at her for a moment, mesmerized by her chocolate eyes and long hair that swayed softly in the breeze.
"Paris…" he said.
"What?" Piper asked looking confused
"If I could go anywhere right now…I'd go to Paris…" he said, "You know…the question that you asked…I never really answered it properly…"
"..Paris…" Piper repeated softly. "Paris is where I wanna go for my honeymoon…" she said quietly
"Why is that?"
"Does that count as a question?" she inquired flirtatiously
He laughed, "Sure why not?"
"Well…I'm not gonna tell you…" she answered slyly.
"Hey! That's cheating…the rules were you have to answer the questions…" he protested
"Really? Awww well that's a good thing you're a gentlemen who's gonna make an exception."
"Fine..fine..I'll make an exception…but you owe me Piper Halliwell."
"I'll remember that Leo Wyatt" giggling as she opened the door. "Goodnight" Piper said as she slipped inside.
"Goodnight…"Leo repeated softly as the door gently closed.
He sighed to himself as he slowly made his way down the stone steps. 'You're falling for her Wyatt…" smiling to himself.
Piper leaned gently on the door, replaying the events earlier in the day. 'Oh my god' she thought to herself. She couldn't remember a time when she had been more happier, more carefree than she was this afternoon.
"PIPER IS THAT YOU?" yelled Prue
"Yea!" she said making her way up the stairs.
"You're late" she said walking into the foyer with a cup of coffee
"Yea I know, sorry, I had to stay late to tutor some students…" she lied
Prue cocked an eyebrow "Till 8:30?"
"Yea, well, there were a lot of kids who needed help with homework."
"I see.." Prue said, even though Piper could see that she didn't. "Well do you want dinner?"
"No thanks I ate already" Piper said, biting her tongue the moment those words left her mouth. 'Shit'
"You did?" Prue sounded surprised. "When?"
"oh at Roshi's I forgot I also went there to study afterwards"
"Oh, ok…well if you get hungry, there's a plate of food in the fridge."
"Thanks so much Prue" she said continuing her way up the stairs and into her room.
Piperstarted changing into pajamaswhen Phoebe startled her.
"You're a liar did you know that?" she said plopping herself down on Piper's bed
"What are you talking about" Piper said innocently.
"I'm talking about you and Mr. Captain of the football team." She said smirking
Piper whirled around, shocked "How did you know!"
"Puh-leese Piper, my window was open and my room is directly above the front door…I heard and saw everything."
"But--"
"You naughty girl," Phoebe said teasingly while wagging a finger of shame at her. "So…spill…all the juicy details…"
"Like what?" Piper said now joining her younger sister on the bed
"Like for starters, why was he walking you home?"
"It's no big deal"
"Yes but why?"
"Iunno," Piper shrugged, "Cause he wanted to."
Phoebe studied her older sister's face. "You like him." She concluded finally.
"That's crazy"
Phoebe gave her "the look"
"What? So what if he walked me home… I was tutoring him and I have been for the past 2 months, we stayed late today cause we totally lost track of time, he offered to walk me home, along the way we detoured for ice cream and a walk in the park—oh my god you're right…I do like him!"
Phoebe smiled smugly. "Of course you know you can't tell Prue that…" she added
"What? Why not?"
"Cause she's totally against us dating and getting boyfriends."
"Yea but somehow she's allowed to date Andy and you're allowed to date Cole?" Piper retorted angrily.
"Like you and I both don't know…YOU'RE like the perfect child around here…"
"Whatta you mean?"
"Well, Prue's life is screwed since she dropped out of school to take care of us, and she knows that I'm hopeless altogether, academic wise that is, so, it's up to you to make her "proud."
"Excuse me?" Piper asked raising her eyebrows.
"You get good grades, you don't do anything other than what you're told, you never argue with Prue, and she basically dictates your life and you follow."
"I do not!"
"Yes you do!"
"How?"
"What do you wanna be when grow up."
Piper winced at the question, she hated answering it.
"You're not acting and that's final, end of discussion period."
"I'd rather that you find another job in a more respectable field, doctor, maybe lawyer perhaps."
"A doctor or a lawyer."
Phoebe shook her head. "No that's what Prue wants you to become…what do you want to do?
"You're not acting and that's final, end of discussion period."
"I wanna act…" Piper said softly, as if saying those words alone were forbidden.
"So go for it!"
"Prue would never let me."
"See! That's exactly what I mean, Prue's trying to turn you into her! Wasn't it Prue's dream to become a doctor or a lawyer? And wasn't it her that said she refused to get a boyfriend until after she graduated University?"
"So you're saying that she's trying to make me live out her dreams so…"
"So she won't feel so much like a failure." Phoebe finished
"That's insane Phoebe! And even if she did, she wouldn't have issues with me dating."
Her younger sister stared at her.
"…Would she?"
As Leo crossed the street to his house, he felt as if he was almost gliding on the air. He couldn't remember a time when he had been happier. Suddenly he was aware that something was vibrating in his back pocket. It was his cell.Thompson, Andrea, the caller ID read.
He flipped open his phone and shut it off. Satisfied, he continued on his way. As he approached the front door, he saw a girl sitting on the steps waiting for…him. 'DAMMIT WHAT THE FUCK?' it was Andrea.
"What are you doing here?" he said coolly
"Oh hi to you too baby" she gushed sarcastically
"What do you want?"
"I saw you with that Halliwell girl today" she hissed
"So, what's your point?" he snapped
"You're not suppose to be seeing other girls! That's my point!" she snapped
"Oh really? Cause I wasn't aware that you had a say in who I see or don't see!"
"I do when I'm your girlfriend!"
"Oh my god, forget it Andrea, we're over and you know it!"
"Says who? Cause the last time I checked we were on a break."
"Oh was that around the same time you started throwing yourself onto the whole football team?"
Andrea narrowed her eyes. "Fine Leo, if you wanna be like that, then we're over"
"Thank god" he muttered, pushing past her and reaching for the door knob.
Andrea descended the steps and strutted off down the street. Turning around, she gently added, "You know Leo, you're father's not gonna be too happy that you're seeing someone "beneath" you."
Leo boiled over with rage, 'how dare she call Piper beneath him?' He had the urge to run over and punch her. But he didn't, instead he simply said, "You know, money and class isn't everything
"Maybe for some," she agreed, "But definitely not your father."
