*This is the quickest I have ever updated. I'm just so inspired to write this story and the ideas are just flowing nonstop in my head. I promise to update my other stories soon (but I did update "Earlier than Expected" today, so that's progress.) Thanks for the follows and the reviews. Still don't own anything. Enjoy and please review :D

It had been a week since Piper had met Leo. One week, and she could not stop thinking about him. It didn't help that her sisters were pressuring her to call him everyday. But Piper still hadn't mostly because she was afraid that a good looking guy like Leo wouldn't want to go out with the average-ordinary looking girl like Piper. After careful consideration and weighing out all of the options, Piper decided to give Leo a call.

His phone began to ring. Quickly, he scoured through all of his paperwork and other various objects to find the phone. He found it when it rang for the last time. "Hello. Dr Wyatt speaking." "Hi, um, Dr. Wyatt it's Piper. We met last week at Quake." He paused it was her. The woman that had plagued his existence. She had a captivating smile and she seemed like a genuinely nice person. He had hoped that she would call him. And if she didn't then he would have stormed over to Quake and asked her out in person - once he wasn't so busy.

"Hi, Piper. I remember you. You can just call me Leo." He replied. She nervously laughed. "Oh, right. Look Leo, I was wondering if you still wanted some food recommendations around the city?" "Yeah, of course. Do you know any good ones for a date." "Yeah I know of a couple around town." Her voice seemed to fall. Did she think that he was wanting to take someone else out?

To fix his miscommunication he quickly glanced at his schedule to see if he was free this Friday - he was - and replied, "Good, why don't I pick you up this Friday, say around 8 p.m. and you can show me one." "Friday, um let me check my schedule. Friday works for me. Do you just want to meet at the restaurant. My apartment is uptown, and I don't want you to have to fight off traffic." "I don't mind. Actually my apartment is uptown too and since Friday is my day off this week, it won't be such a bother for me." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely. So I'll see you on Friday at eight then?"

"Sounds like a date. Or unless you aren't considering this a date..." "No it's a date, unless you don't want it to be a date." "Then we're agreeing, it's a date?" "Yes. Piper, will you go out with me on a date this Friday?" "I would be honored to. Oh, and Leo, wear something formal." He could almost hear her smile through the phone. She told him her address and the two hung up.

He had the biggest smile on his face after the call was over. Luckily he was in his office, and not helping a patient or else he would have missed her call. It was now Tuesday. That meant that he still had three days before seeing Piper. They would be the longest three days of Leo's life.

Finally, it was Friday. However, Piper got off of work a little late and got stuck in traffic. The clock now read 6:00. Leo would be there in 2 hours. She was afraid that she wasn't going to be ready in time and didn't want him to wait on her. She quickly jumped in the shower, got out got dressed, curled her hair, and did her makeup. Once she was all finished, she glanced at the clock. It read as 7:55 p.m. She sighed in relief and then there was a knock on the door. She answered it and there stood Leo, holding a dozen red roses. She smiled.

"Oh, they're so beautiful. I'm going to go put these in some water. Come in I'll be right back." He nodded and she went to the kitchen. He came in and looked around at the apartment. From what he saw, it was a very beautiful apartment, and before he got the chance to look around Piper came back in the room. "So here's my apartment. My sister and her boyfriend's room is to the right and mine is the one on the left." "It's beautiful." He replied before turning his attention to her.

He hadn't been able to look at her before and now that she was standing there in front of him, in her tight-fitting black dress that did wonders to her curves, her hair slightly curled, and with her makeup done, she looked absolutely stunning. "And so are you." She blushed a little. "Ahh, thanks you're too sweet. Also thanks for the flowers. Um.. we should probably leave considering our reservation is in an hour." "Wow, you got reservations for us? On such a short notice?" "Working in a restaurant has it's perks." "Are we going to your restaurant, I mean the one where you work at then?" "Oh, no, I meant that I know a lot of the other managers and I pulled in some favors." "Oh, right. Then shall we head out?" "Yeah. Let me just go get my purse."

He nodded and watched her make her way over to her bedroom. She came back and he was still semi-staring at her. She nervously bit her lip and Leo had to stop himself from taking her then and there. She smiled. "Shall we?" She asked while pointing towards the door. He nodded and the two headed to the restaurant.

The drive over there was quiet. The two were both nervous and had the habit of trying to start up a conversation at the same time. Once they had arrived at the restaurant, Leo opened up Piper's car door for her. 'I guess chivalry isn't dead after all' she thought to herself. The two then proceeded to walk through the door and since they were a little earlier for their reservation, they sat at the bar waiting to be called. They ordered a drink and couldn't stop staring at each other.

After about 20 minutes of waiting, their table was ready. The hostess lead them to the back part of the restaurant, the chef's table. The lights were dim and there were a couple of candles on the table, setting the mood. Also, there was a chilled champagne bottle ready for their consumption. Leo helped Piper take off her coat, before proceeding to take off his as well. He pulled out her chair and placed her coat behind the seat, and he sat down across from her.

"So what do you think?" Piper asked once he was comfortable. "I can't believe you did all of this in three days. Imagine if you had longer." "You said that you wanted date locations. And this one is probably the most romantic restaurant in the entire city. I mean it's near impossible to get reservations, but when your best friend from culinary school is the owner and head chef, you can get in." She explained. He smiled which caused her to smile back. "You're very handy to have around." He replied. She blushed a little.

Just then the waiter came in and asked if they were ready to order. Piper looked at Leo, "Do you trust me?" "With food. Yes. Absolutely." She smiled. "Two filets cooked medium with the potatoes and the green beans. Also can you put the gravy on the side." "Yes, I'll get that started. I'll tell the chef that you've arrived." "Thank you." "Wow, you know your food." "Yeah. I guess. " She replied, getting a little embarrassed. He smiled at her embarrassment. "Don't be embarrassed. It's cute." "Well, in that case I could talk about food all night." "Fine by me."

Instead of talking about food, the two spent the evening talking about themselves. Piper told him all about her siblings. And she discovered that Leo was an only child. They shared stories and memories and hadn't even noticed when dinner came. Once they did, they ate and continued to talk and by the end of dinner, they felt like they had known each other for years, instead of a week.

Piper ordered desert for the two of them to share. Once that was gone, they continued to talk and get to know each other. About half an hour later, the chef, Piper's friend, came out.

"Dan, is that you? Finally, stay away from your best friend all night do you?" Piper teased. The man laughed. "Still as gorgeous as ever I see, huh Pipes." She smiled and hugged Dan. Then she turned back to Leo. "Dan, this is Leo. He's new in town and I was just showing him around." "Showing him around, at the 'most romantic' place in the city? Isn't that a bit much for simply showing him around?" Piper blushed and Dan laughed. "I'm just kidding Pipes. Nice to meet you Leo." He replied extending a hand out to Leo. Leo shook it and he noted the firm grip. "You have a good establishment here and the food was great too." "Thanks. Well, you two kids have fun. Hope to see you guys around." Piper and Leo waved goodbye and the waiter brought the check. Leo took care of it, even despite all of Piper's protests.

"Look Piper, I asked you out on a date. And I was taught that a man pays for his dates." "Okay, fine, but I'll get the next one then." He smiled to agree even though he knew that he wouldn't let her pay for him. He then proceeded to help her with her coat. His fingers gently brushed against her skin of her shoulder, and the two got shivers from the contact. Piper glanced at Leo before turning to grab her purse. Leo put on his own coat.

She turned back to him. "You ready?" "I hate to admit this, but I don't want this night to end." "It doesn't have to." She replied with a smile. "Piper, I think that you're great, but I don't want to sleep with you, at least not tonight." He nervously said. Sure, he was incredibly attracted to her, but he didn't want her to think that he only went out with her for sex.

"That wasn't what I had in mind, but thank you." "Why thank you?" "I, um, don't have sex on the first date. It's a personal rule of mine." "Okay, then, good to know. So, what did you have in mind?" "Well," she said glancing at her watch, "It's a quarter to 11. Do you maybe want to take a stroll around the park?" "I'd love to." "Follow me."

The two made their way to the park. Arm in arm, onlookers thought that they had been together many of years instead of it being their first date. They walked around for half an hour, the conversation never ceasing between the two and finally they decided to call it a night.

They headed back to the car and once again Leo opened the door for Piper. The drive back was full of talking and laughing, much different than the drive to the restaurant. Once they had reached Piper's apartment, Leo walked her to the door.

"I had a really great time tonight, much better than I've had in a while." She whispered. He smiled, "I had a great time tonight too. I hope we get to do this again." She nodded "I hope so too." Then she proceeded to kiss his cheek. "Thanks for everything."

Before she could pull away he cupped her chin and looked deep into her eyes. They were granting him the permission that he had wanted all night. With his hand still on her chin, he slightly tilted her head up towards his and then he leaned down and pressed his lips against her.

The kiss was soft at first. The two of them savoring in the taste of the other. Then all of a sudden Piper's tongue hit Leo's bottom lip asking for permission to enter his mouth. He obliged and their passion grew. Piper was running her hands through Leo's short blond while pulling him towards her. One of Leo's hands was cupping her cheek and her head while the other was on the small of her back to bring her closer to him. They continued kissing for what seemed like forever, their tongues exploring the other's mouth. Time seemed to stand still and just for that moment it was only the two of them.

Suddenly the apartment door opened and Prue was there. Piper and Leo embarrassingly pulled away from each other and blushed. "Sorry to, um, interrupt, but I was wondering if you were going to stay out here all night. But, um, I see that you were, um, preoccupied." Prue snickered holding in the laughter about the situation. Piper and Leo were acting like teenagers, who had just been caught by their parents.

Prue smiled. "I'll, um, go back inside now. Nice to meet you. Leo right?" Leo nodded and Piper tried to push her inside faster. She then shut the door and turned to Leo. "I'm sorry. I'm so embarrassed." "It's okay. I should probably get going anyways. I'll call you." "Okay. See you around. Bye." She replied before reluctantly going inside. She leaned against the door and closed her eyes, ingraining the kiss into her memory. Prue came out and began laughing.

"I'm going to kill you." Piper yelled playfully. "Oh, come on sis. I couldn't resist. Andy's been gone the past few days, I had to have my fill some way. And I'll tell you, if he's that great of a kisser than..." "Shut up Prue. I'm going to bed." "No, wait, tell me everything that happened." "I'll tell you in the morning that way I won't have to repeat the same story with our younger sisters." "Fine, but I want details." "Goodnight!" Piper replied before slamming her door. Prue sighed and went into her own bedroom.

Piper quickly changed into her pjs, and laid in bed thinking of Leo. Unbeknownst to her, Leo was also lying in his bed thinking of her. The two seemed to sigh at the same time and both had dreams of the other that night.
