Must Be Love … Chapter 5 (Mrs Dan Gordon)
-QUAKE, FIRST DAY-

The ring seemed to weigh her hand to the floor. It's sparkling rays look as if to glimmer off the saucepans in the kitchen, bouncing over to the swinging double doors that lead to the main seating area. She couldn't believe Dan had asked her to marry him- she couldn't believe she had decided but then again when you love someone you do want to build a life with them, she just didn't think she'd be doing so soon after all she was only 22, but then again if love knocks you've got to answer it, it's only polite. She thought with a giggle. God she hadn't giggled for so long, infact she couldn't remember when she had last. The ring seemed to dazzle on her finger she was so happy, this changed everything, after all not knowing were she was working was a worry it had even made her think about breaking up with him after all if he didn't listen to her then what hope was there, but now she knew he really did care, and he must have planned it other wise he wouldn't have had the ring, and what a beautiful ring it was. An extremely beautiful ring. She had to admit as she sat at the counter in Quake an hour before it was going to open she hadn't once thought of Leo, … well that was until now. She honestly didn't know if he was ever going to recognise her, oh well the longer the better she thought wearily, if he found out who she was he'd fire her for sure, or at least make her whole catering career a living hell anyway and in turn kill her dreams. Leo really had an advantage over her, and when the reunion came up, well he'd figure out. No matter how she did it or what she did even he wasn't that stupid in fact she remembered that he was actually very smart, so that didn't help in that respect either. But marrying Dan- that would change all that, within a few months she'd quit, get her résumé souped up and then work in another restaurant maybe being a chef, and then she will be a very happy married woman. Yeah. She would have no worries, hey she might even have children by then, you never know she thought with a laugh.

Hearing the backdoor she looked around and saw Leo come in.

"Hey" he started "Why are you here so early?"

"Well I thought I'd get an early start from my early leave yesterday"

"oh you didn't have to do that, it was your taster day"

"no really, and besides I'm already here" she said expanding her arms outwards.

"Hey whats that" he said pointing to her left hand. "I swear that wasn't there yesterday" he said with a smile.

All she could do was grin like an idiot.

"Congratulations!" He said wrapping his arms around her giving her a nice hug.

"Thank you" she said as he released her from his grip.

"You'll have to stay round late tonight for a celebratory drink- no scratch that I will book you and your fiancé here at Quake then we can all have a drink together, then maybe I will get to meet him after all I believe he was late last night"

"Er … I'm not sur-"

"I will not here of it"

"Okay"

"Good" he said as he exited the kitchen and headed for his office.

She had no idea what she was thinking she thought grimly. Her day had started so good and now, she thought with a sigh … now she was left to entertain her boss- oh my god she had just realised who was his girl friend? Missy! And it's not as if he was going to leave her behind, and once he told her that he was going to celebrate with an employee called Piper Halliwell and her engagement she was bond to come. Leo may not have remembered her but Missy sure as hell did. She had made that pretty clear last night and yes she may have a bad case of paranoia but she was not being paranoid about this! Hell no! God she had to call Dan, he'd have to know what they were going to be doing.

With the phone to her ear she dialled in the number and waited-

"Hello, Dan Gordon speaking" he said sort of emotionless.

"Hi Dan it's Piper!"

"Hey honey, how are you?"

"I'm fine- listen Dan are you free tonight?"

"I'm not sure why?"

"Well my boss at work noticed the ring and has invited us for a drink at the restaurant"

"oh really? Well I'll try honey but I've got a busy work schedule"

"Okay, phone me k?"

"Yeah sure"

"Love-" she paused as she heard the receiver beep, he had hung up "…you"

Well he had never done that before, how mean she thought gloomily. Hanging the phone back on the hook she looked at the clock on the wall. Time to open up she thought as she picked the keys off the counter and headed towards the door. Most of the other employees had come in during her phone call so everything was good- as far as the restaurant was concerned any way. Why had Dan been so mean, he could have got cut off but he didn't even sat that he loved her. Oh well it wasn't something she could go through now could she, she'd have to talk to Dan later. Oh speaking of talking she could even remember last night how Josie had reacted, she could swear that girl was more excited then she was. She had been going on about wedding dresses and bridesmaids, page boys the lot of it. They had been talking for ages. Piper had just sat there on the couch in her jim jams aka Pyjamas with a bucket of ice cream smiling and everything, not being able to stop or stop looking at the beautiful ring placed on her fourth finger on the left hand. Josie had been really happy- probably even more then her. She had even been going on about getting something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue for the wedding too, she said she'd deal with it and everything.

'RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG'

Speaking of the devil, she thought as she looked at the number that came across the caller id- it was Josie.

"Hiya Jose"

"Hello the future Mrs Dan Gordon"

"What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you would like to go shopping with tomorrow after work- after the news you gave me yesterday I'm in the mood for shopping and besides you've got that reunion thing coming up haven't you?"

"Damn I nearly forgot about that- yeah sure tomorrow" she said as she saw Deanna coming out of the kitchen "I've really got to go though now, bye"

"bye"

Deanna was a very nervous person, she may have been around only two days, … but she knew that much and the way she saw her carrying that tray she knew there was gonna be some trouble. Damn it was going! As Piper ran up Deanna was already in the middle of dropping it and all down Piper's lilac sweater. Spaghetti bolognaise.

"Great, just great!"
