Lovin' You Chapter 4- Problems Arise
Parker dropped the twins off at Piper's and went into work. Today she was working at a restaurant in the city not far from Phoebe's newspaper office. The restaurant, Fleur de Lys, was a popular place where the tips were great but it was always crowded. Parker was a waitress there twice a week on Fridays and Sundays. Fleur de Lys was a fancy place where all the waitors have to wear black pants, black shirts, and black shoes.
Parker hung another order up on the rack for the chef before heading back out to serve a customer. She was straightening her black apron as she looked up into a pair of bright blue eyes. She stood staring for a few seconds before stuttering out, "uh, can I get you some drinks?"
"Coke." he commented back smirking.
Parker nodded and wrote it down. "and for everyone else?"
"I'll have a Diet Coke please." The elderly man to his left commented. Parker nodded and looked at the woman sitting across from him.
"Sweet tea, please." she requested. Parker wrote it down, smiled and walked away to get their drinks.
Parker was filling up his coke when he popped up beside her. "God, you scared me. What are you doing? Your not aloud back here." she said glaring at the stranger.
"Yeah, well I'm a dare devil." he commented smirking. "I'm Seth. You are?"
"Parker." she said slowly. She wanted to tell him she was taken but it just wouldn't come out.
"Working through college?" he questioned as she turned back to work.
"Not exactly." she commented vaguely. "It's complicated.'
"I'd like to try to figure it out sometime." he commented, walking back over to his table.
Parker took a deep breath before putting the drinks on a tray and carrying them over to the table. "So, you guys ready to order?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parker locked the door to the restaurant and said goodbye to the chef as she walked to her car. She groaned slightly when she saw Seth leaned up against her car smirking with his arms crossed. "Dude, I will call the cops." she voiced walking up to him.
"What's their names?" he asked.
Parker looked at him confused until she noticed the carseats in her backseat. "Thats none of your business." she snapped. "I'm calling the police." She then pulled out her cell phone just for him to take it away from her and start looking through it. "Hey buddy. Give me that back or I'll kick your ass and trust me, you don't want that."
He just smirked, handed it back, and started walking away. "See ya Parker." he commented walking away.
Parker stood looking at his back suspiciously until he got in his car and drove away. She got into her own car and pulled out, heading for the manor. Her phone went off and when she opened it she had a text message. '223 Pivrate Lane Apartment C-Seth'
Parker pulled up to a redlight where she was stuck between going straight to Pivrate Lane or right towards Prescott Street. The light turned green and Parker went straight.

Dillon knocked on the door to the Halliwell Manor at 10 o' clock. Piper had called earlier and said that she was expecting Parker to come get the kids at 9 but she never showed up. He had told her he'd be there soon and left for the manor. Leo opened the door and smiled at him slightly before letting him in. They went into the conservatory to see the twins asleep on the couch and Piper covering them up with a blanket. "Parker called around 8:30 and said she would be here soon. When she didn't show up I figured you would want to come get them."
Dillon smiled slightly and nodded before leaning down to pick Phoenix up. She rested her head on his shoulder and stayed asleep. Leo picked Potter up and he did the same. Piper kissed them both on the cheek before Leo orbed out with all four of them. Leo laid Potter down in his bed and covered him up before kissing his head and going into Phoenix's room to do the same. He told Dillon bye and orbed out.
Dillon cleaned up the house a little before taking a quick shower, putting on his pajamas and going back into the living room to watch TV.
