"Oh, you are so going to regret doing this," Prue said as she and Paige trailed behind Piper and Phoebe, who had already entered Quake. Paige shrugged and linked arms with her oldest sister. Prue shook her head. "You are terrible."
"You love me."
"Yes, but will Piper and Phoebe when one of them doesn't get the so called guy of their dreams?"
"They'll get over it. They always do. Besides it's just a stupid crush. They'll look back and laugh. Sort of like in high school."
"Clearly you did not get the memo that we graduated from high school ten years ago."
"Three."
"What?"
"I only graduated three years ago."
"Okay, Miss 'word-for-word.' Now would you look at that? They haven't even noticed that we're not there." Prue gestured to Piper and Phoebe who clearly trying to out-flirt each other, and Leo who was offering a polite smile.
"Let the games begin," said Paige as they finally reached their seats.
Prue and Paige, who sat diagonally from each other, had chosen to remain relatively silent, shooting each other the occasional amused glance.
"So, Paige, what are—"
"Oops!" Leo was interrupted by Phoebe "accidentally" knocking her glass of ice cold water over and into Leo's lap. He stood up rapidly, but the damage had already been done, and the bottom of his shirt and his pants were now soggy and soaked through. Phoebe, stood up, napkin in hand and began to slowly pat Leo down, concentrating heavily on his upper thigh and crotch area. Suddenly everything around the room froze.
"Piper," Prue hissed. "You cannot just freeze an entire restaurant!"
"Well, I just did!"
"Unfreeze it! Somebody good walk in at any minute!"
"Not until Phoebe stops groping the handyman."
"I am so not groping!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"You so are!" Piper replied.
"Yeah, you kind of are, Pheebs," Paige conceded.
"Fine," Phoebe huffed, exaggeratedly raising her hands in the air. "Better? Should I just sit like this the whole dinner?"
"Well, you might not knock over the water again."
Phoebe sat down scowling. "Uh, uh, uh, missy!" Prue said. "Return to position! If Leo finds out about our little family secret, you guys can both kiss any dating prospects goodbye. Every one ready? Go, Pipe."
The restaurant returned to its previously bustling state. Phoebe quickly withdrew her hands and sat back down. "Sorry about her, she just got out of prison," Paige joked. "Her parole officer has high hopes for her rehabilitation."
"Paige!"
Paige rolled her eyes. "He knows I'm kidding, Pheebs. Lighten up, lady."
Leo just looked back and forth between the sisters. "Uh, why don't I just get the check?"
"Oh, don't be silly," Prue said, waving over the waitress. "We invited you."
"Thank you."
"Anytime." Prue handed over her credit card and upon its return they got up to leave.
Lingering behind, Paige smiled at Leo. "Sorry about my sisters. I'll be sure to put them in time-out when we get home."
Leo chuckled. "Just make sure they're in separated rooms," he joked back, causing Paige to laugh.
"Noted."
"It was god to see you, Paige. You know outside of the worker-boss type relationship."
"It was good to see you, too.
"Do you think I could get your number?"
Paige looked puzzled. "Don't you already have it? You called one of my sisters last night, didn't you?"
"No, I meant…no, no, I guess you're right. Must have just slipped my mind."
Paige smiled. "No worries, that's okay. Are you coming back to finish up tomorrow?" Leo nodded. "Okay, I will be there to let you in."
