Anything that the stalker does is in Italics and also anything that a character says to themselves

Greg decided it was time to come and apologize Leo. He didn't mean to offend Leo he just didn't get over Piper the way he thought he had. Ever since he had a run in with her about 14 years ago. In his heart he felt that Piper was the one that got away. He wouldn't mind if they could be friends and making her husband angry was not the way to go. He finally arrives at the manor and knocks on the door.

Noise was all over the house and it was only 11:30 in the morning now there was someone else at the door to add to the chaos.

"Can someone answer the door screamed Piper from the top of the stairs. She has been trying to get ready to go to the restaurant but her devious husband kept distracting her. Pushing him out the room, he went to go see who was there at the door.

Greg: "Hello I know that I am the last person you want to see right now, but I came back to apologize for the incident yesterday", Greg began his argument. "The words did not come out right and I want to make sure there were no hard feeling"

Leo didn't know whether to believe him, or to slam the door in his face but he decided against it. He knew from experience that Piper was a hard woman to get over, so he decided to cut the ex lover some slack. "You know what no hard feelings, the incident is forgotten. Lets just keep it in the past okay."

Greg: "Thanks for understanding, tell Piper what I said and again I am sorry"

Leo watched as Greg walked away from the house and hope that it would be the last time that they would ever see each other. "Good job Leo, you know that no one can come between you and your wife.

As Greg watched Leo close the door behind him, he felt that he did the right thing and hopefully him and Piper could be friends again. Leo walked back upstairs and Piper began to plague him with questions about who was at the door.

Piper: "Who was that at the door Leo, was it that girl scout from down the road. I forgot to pay her and I told her that I would have her money today."

"No it was Greg"

"Greg, Piper asked as she was trying to put on her boots, what did he want"

"He came to apologize to us about the way he acted at the store yesterday. I told him that it was forgotten and I forgave him. It's not like he could have you back.

"Oh is that so, Piper said as she was putting her hair in a ponytail and giving herself a once over in the mirror. "And why couldn't he have me"

Leo puts his arms around Piper's waist and kissed her neck before he answered, "Because I have you that is why"

"And I thank god ever day for bringing you into my life, now I have to go to the restaurant and check the books. Call me if you need anything and I should be back by three." She kissed Leo one more time before pulling herself away. "Get a grip Piper if you don't leave now, you will never get to the restaurant.

Leo watched Piper walk downstairs and he heard the door close. Today he was going to go to magic school and start the application process since the school year was about to begin again.

Piper arrived at the club floating on cloud nine. For the first time in a long time, her life was going perfectly. Her children were doing well without giving her two many grays and her businesses were practically booming, P3 was one of the hottest clubs in town still. Her sisters were happy and healthy and living life to the fullest. And her and Leo's love was as strong as ever and lately she couldn't keep her hands off of him. "And they say when you get older you lose your sex drive, she thought to herself, who thought up that lie" As she was making her way to the office she saw a bouquet of roses sitting on a nearby table.

"I wonder who these belongs too", she said as she called for Diane. "Diane are you back there, are these your flowers"

"No Piper, Diane said while shaking her head, the delivery guy came and said that they were for you. Don't worry about the tip, the delivery guy said it was al taken care of. It is so sweet that after all these years your husband is romantic enough to send you flowers." Piper went to pick up the roses off the table and a card fell out. She picked up the card and read what it said.

Dear Piper, I have loved you since the first day they met and my world is incomplete without you. I want you to know that no matter where you go my love for you will never die. Love you Always. Forever, and a Day, your true love for life.

Piper kept rereading the note and it almost brought tears to her eyes.

"Diane's right, I am so lucky to have you to Leo", she said inside her head, "Very lucky indeed

Mel and Prue decided that if they wanted to keep their weight in check, they should go walking at least once a day followed by a strict diet. Today they decided to run instead of walk but realized that walking was much better.

"So did you hear Mel, Devon is finally free to date, him and Natalie called it quits yesterday"

"Hey Prue did you ever hear of a mourning period, they were together for a long time. I wouldn't want to make him rush into anything.

"Come on, Prue said as she playfully punched her cousin in the shoulder, you and Devon have been friends since like forever. If you don't make a move someone else will.

Rolling her eyes at Prue, Melinda knew that see was right. She wanted Devon to be her boyfriend, she just doesn't want anything to ruin their friendship. But deep down she knew that if she saw Devon with someone else besides her, her heart would actually break.

"Okay Prue, I will talk to him, but I will give him time to grieve over his breakup.

"You have five days"

"What no wait Prue, I need at least need six. and I promise I will talk to himdeal."

"Deal, hey Melinda who is that guy over there he looks new to the neighborhood. We should go and welcome him to the neighborhood."

"Prue we can't do that, he could be a lunatic and try to kill us"

"Mel he looks like he could have children our age, and did you forget that we were witches. We are not going to walk into the house, I just want to say hi, that's all.

"Okay Prue but if I die I am so haunting you.

The new neighbor watched as the two girls started making their way towards his house. Though the house to him was new, he was not new to the neighborhood. As the girls approached his house, he could tell who the medium height one was because she was a splitting image of her mother. Melinda and Prue got to the door, and they decided that Prue would be the one to talk.

"Hello, began Prue, my name is Prue Halliwell and this is my cousin Melinda and we see that you are new to the block and we wanted to say hello.""

"Hello", Melinda said politely not sure of what the neighbor's motive was.

"Hello to both of you girls, it is nice to see that someone around here has manners. When I was younger, people brought cake to their new neighbors"

"Well we can't help you but maybe a can get my Aunt Piper to do it, she is an amazing chef. Maybe I can put in a good word for you."

"Well I will be waiting for a cake from your Aunt, by the way I forgot to give you my name. My name is Dan, Dan Gordon and I hope that I see you around and maybe I could meet your parents sometimes"

"Okay then bye, Melinda said as her and Prue hurried away from the house. "Hey Prue doesn't his name sound familiar, I think I heard it from somewhere"

"Oh Melinda, you worry to much, try to relax. I swear you are just like your mother" They laughed at each other as they headed home.

No matter what Prue said though, Mel still couldn't shake the fact that their new neighbor was up to something and that something was not good.

Leo was waiting for Piper to get home from the restaurant. She was supposed to be home by 3:00 but one of the chefs called in sick and she decided that she would stay and take her place. He decided to get the children out of the house for the rest of the evening so that he and Piper could have a romantic dinner alone.

"Okay guys what are you all doing tonight"

"Well, Mel answered, I am going to the movies with Prue, Patricia, and Penelope.

"And Chris and I are going to be working at the club tonight, so don't worry dad the house is all yours"

"But remember dad, don't do anything that could result in having another baby run around the house okay, Chris said with a hint of laughter. Everyone laughed at Chris's joke because they all knew that their parents would not be trilled to have another child at their age.

Leo interrupted the laughter by telling his children that he wanted them home at a decent hour and that if anything went wrong call him immediately. He finished setting the table and placed the wine in the bucket to keep chilled. Then he lit the candles and waited for Piper to return.

Piper walked in the house and found that it was very quiet, which was very unusual for the Halliwell Manor. She realized that everyone must be out so maybe tonight she would finally be able to relax a bit. She walked into the kitchen and saw the table a she could not believe her eyes.

"What is all this for", Piper said in amazement

"This is for the beautiful woman I call my wife" Leo bends down a d kisses her softly on the lips. "I knew that today was pretty rough so I decided to cook dinner for you tonight.

"Wow, I am impressed, but where are the kids"

"They are all out for tonight, so we have the house all to ourselves on one condition though"

"And what condition is that", Piper asked

"Chris said to make sure that we don't produce another Halliwell

Piper and Leo laughed while Piper took place at the table. The dinner that Leo cooked was actually from a fancy French restaurant, because Leo was not a very good cook. After dinner Leo made his wife a nice hot bath that she enjoyed while he did the cleaning. After Leo finished cleaning he went upstairs to check on his wife. He found her in her bath robe brushing her hair in front of the vanity mirror.

"So how was your bath, Leo asked as he planted a kiss on her cheek"

"It was lovely, in fact everything was amazing. It is nice to know that after all these years of marriage, we still know how to romance each other."

"Well Piper you deserved it, sometimes you take care of me so tonight I took care of you."

As Leo was talking Piper kissed him in mid sentence. The kisses became more passionate until Leo pulled away from her.

"And what was that for, he asked while looking into Piper's brown eyes

"For being the best husband in the whole wide world"

"Well in that case I think I deserve some more don't you think"

They started to kiss again but this time it was Piper pulled away from Leo

"Did I forgot to thank you for the roses that you sent me today. They were very beautiful"

Leo looked at his wife with confusion in his eyes. "What roses"

"What do you mean what roses, the roses you sent to me at the restaurant today, it came with this note."

"Piper, I swear I did not send you any roses or any flowers for that matter. Let me see the note"

Now it was Piper's turn to look at her husband in a state of confusion. If it was not Leo who sent her the flowers than who were they from.

"Well, Leo if you didn't send them to me, then who did."

"I do not know Piper, but it could be some perverted lunatic out there on the streets. Tomorrow we are going to call Darryl and see if he can help us find this guy. We ate going to make sure that what happened to Prue does not happen to you"

Piper's mind wonder back to when one of her bartenders named Abbey was infatuated with her sister Prue. She even tried to kill Prue so she would be able to take her place. Fortunately they saved Prue right before she was shot, and Abbey went to jail for kidnapping charges and attempted murder.

"Piper, don't worry, I am going to do everything in my power to make sure nothing happens to you"

Piper rested her head on Leo's shoulder and hoped that Leo was right and that she would be safe. Now her mind was on a more serious question, who was after her.

He watched the front of the Victorian house, because she was there. His love, the only woman that he ever loved stayed in that house with him. She probably thought that those roses were from him. He wanted to just walk inside the house take Piper in his hands and kiss her ever so gently on the lips. The love between them would return again and she would leave that pathetic jackass named Leo. But he couldn't do that because there was a small chance that she would chose Leo again so he have to get him out of the way first. He probable should have sent her Lilacs because those were her favorite flowers, he remembered that from when they were together. He remembered everything about her which was a sign that they belong together. He loved her with all of his heart, her smile, her chocolate brown eyes, and her radiant hair that flowed down her back. When they were together they had it all and when he was finished getting rid of her husband they would soon have it all again. He walked over to the mailbox to place a letter that he had written her proclaiming his love for her. He kissed it and placed it into the box and started to return home. "Soon we will be together one way or another"

Who sent Piper those flowers and what will this crazy man do to get rid of Leo. Stay tuned for the next chapter called "Let The Games Begin Part Two"
