A/N: I don't own charmed.

This chapter is based off of the episode Wicca Envy. Enjoy!

This was a first for her. Totally different than she had ever been. She had always been the shy and reserved one, not the one to actually go forth with a desire. She had never been so brazen to actually ask a guy that she liked out. That " take a chance" gene that Phoebe had referred to must have transferred to her just before she went down the stairs and saw Leo standing there with his tool belt on.

She didn't really know what she should be worried about. After all she knew how he really felt, even though he didn't remember. The kiss they shared was still etched in her mind, yet not making it easier for her to get the courage to start that up again.

They had set their first date to be a couple of days after he had said yes going out sometime. Piper decided she'd just have him over to the Manor, and she'd cook for him. She figured there was nothing like a home cooked meal on the first date. Okay, so maybe it'd be a better idea to go out to dinner, but she liked this idea better. She was going to make crab sauté with linguine pasta. Of course it was Phoebe's idea.

The door bell ringing at seven made her a little nervous. He was here, and this was finally happening. What if she screwed up and made him suddenly be repulsed by her? High school thinking, but still valid.

She answered the door to see him standing behind it. He was wearing a white shirt with a light blue button down over it with a pair of jeans. Not very different from usual, but it felt different, because they were meeting for pleasure rather than work.

" Hi," she said with a smile, " How are you?"

"Good," he said, " How about you?"

" Good, too," she said, " Why don't you come in?"

He nodded, and stepped over the threshold.

" Gotta tell you," he said, " it's a little weird coming here for pleasure rather than work. But a good weird. I like it better."

She laughed. He had yet to be here without a tool belt and tools with him, at least until now.

" I made us dinner," she said, " Crab sauté with linguine pasta. I hope you like it."

" Of course I do," he said, " As you told me it went really well at Quake, so I'm looking forward to it."

" You remembered," she said. Just before asking him out, she had had a whole conversation about the meal doing great at the restaurant, and he remembered. It was definitely a good sign that maybe this could go well. He liked to listen. Not many guys out there actually listened to you. They pretended they were listening to reel you in. You thought they cared, but it was just a game.

" Ah, of course," he shifted his weight, " Its nice to listen to you."

The shared a smile, and she said, " Why don't we go eat, and we can talk more?"

" Sounds good."

They walked to the kitchen together, and he helped her set the table.

" Looks really great," he said, as they sat down across from the seat she was going to sit down on.

" Thank you," she said, " Try it and tell me what you think."

He picked up his fork, and took some of the linguine and meat, before taking a bite. After a few chews, his eyes closed, and he smiled.

" Excellent," he said, when he finished chewing, " I agree with the customers at the restaurant."

" Glad you like it," she said, taking a bite of her own food.

They talked while they ate, and it felt really comfortable to Piper. There was no point of tension or confusion of what to talk about next. Everything seemed to flow really well.

" I have to thank you for making dinner tonight," he said, as they cleaned up the table, " It was really nice of you. I would have loved to take you out, but this was even better than any restaurant."

" I agree," she said, looking into his eyes. They seemed to twinkle in the light as he smiled at her, and he inched closer to her. Before she knew it, they were inches apart, and she could feel his breath on her face. Slowly she put the plate she was holding how, and he closed the gap between them, his lips covering hers. It was just as blissful as she remembered the kiss that he didn't remember. Even in the beginning stages, the world around her dissolved.

Pretty soon---she wasn't sure how, because it was very unlike her---both of their shirts were off and draped across the back of one of the chairs. It felt so right, that she didn't listen to the voice that said she never did this with a guy on a first date.

" Leo," she breathed, as she felt his lips penetrating her neck. It was hard to talk, her heart thumping in her chest ready to jump out. She placed her hands on his chest that was still covered with his white wife-beater, " My sisters could come home any second, don't you think…"

" We don't have to if you don't want to…" he said, pulling away from her, a serious look in his eyes.

" No," she waved him off, " I really do, but I think we should go up to my bedroom…where its more private, and more…comfortable."

" Good idea," his lips returned to her neck, but his arms reached out for his blue t-shirt, " Here, put this on."

He helped her get the blue button down shirt on, looked at her.

" You can tell me if you don't want to…" he said.

" Don't worry," she said, giving him a kiss, " I really want to…" She looked down, and continued after looking back up, " And I can tell you want to, also."

He laughed, and started to lead her out of the room, both of them laughing.

It turned out that her sisters picked that exact time to come home, and after a quick freeze, she and Leo were headed upstairs. They got up to her door, and their lips connected again, his hands making their way through her hair. When they got into the room, he led her to the bed, and bent her down onto it.

Piper awoke to the sun in the morning, and took a deep breath. She smiled at the memory of the night before. The night went more than she expected, to say the least. She had frozen him a couple of times , the first time an accident, and it was wonderful.

" Morning," she heard a voice say next to her.

Her smile got bigger as she realized that he there, his arm draped across her bare stomach.

" Morning to you, too," she said, quietly, " How did you sleep."

" Great," he said, " Better than I have in a long time. How about you?"

" Great, too," she said.

He grinned, and leaned in to kiss her.

" I have to go to work soon. I told my boss I'd be in early," she said, sensing where this was going, when he didn't pull away, " Or else I'd stay right here with you and continue the festivities of last night, which were amazing by the way."

" You don't have to go right now, right?"

She shook her head.

" So stay here with me just a little while longer."

A little while longer turned into a lot more time spent in bed together.

" Okay, now I really have to go," she said, looking at her alarm clock, after he rolled away from her.

" Alright," she said, " But I'll be down before you go. Don't leave before I say goodbye."

" Okay," she said, and rolled out of bed, even if she didn't want to.

So she became a different person over the course of the night before. A different person who took chances. Maybe it was Phoebe's spirit possessing her, maybe not, but all she knew was it was worth it.

She took a shower, got dressed, and made her way downstairs, hoping to miss her sisters who would have entirely too many questions for her.

A/N: Okay, so it took me way too long to update, but for that I apologize. School started, and I've been in way over my head. I'll try to update when I can next. Please review and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
