I am so sorry for the delay in getting ANY of my writing up lately. But, I seem to have Writer's block, I love fanfic, I do want to write, but that urge isn't there right now!  Damnit! It's worse this…past month, prob someat to do with the depression I've been getting, but…fingers crossed I'm not so bad now, maybe I can start writing again. Anyway, I had this sitting on the server collecting up virtual dust, I guess I didn't post it coz I wanted to have some of the next chapter written up, but I haven't. And you guys have waited far too long. Sorry.

The next afternoon, just after half past Two Leo sprinted out of the house, jumping over the dog on the way, and down the hill towards the lake. He was so…happy and full of energy. So alive. And it was all because of her.

Piper. Beautiful with long, soft, flowing hair, and those deep brown eyes, so enticing. God, just thinking of her made him weak. But for her, he could stay strong.

A short while later Leo arrived at the agreed meeting place, slightly early but out of breath due to his running there. A moment later she appeared.

"Hey," Leo said straightening up.

"Hi, am I late?" Piper asked standing in front of Leo.

"No, you're right on time, I was early." Leo said looking into her eyes. "You know…you're eyes are really beautiful."

"So Leo…wanna go for a walk?" Piper said trying to change the subject.

"No, really…you're eyes are really beautiful, so is the rest of you." Leo said smiling at her.

"Thanks" She blushed.

"Aw, you're cute when you blush." Piper blushed even more at that.

"So cute." Leo said as he slowly moved closer, he reached his arm out to tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, and as he did so his thumb touched her cheek sending shivers down their spines.

Piper bought her hand up to where Leo's was, and took it into hers. She then stepped closer to him, and gave him a short, sweet kiss on the lips.

"Come with me," She said pulling him along with her hand in his. A second later she felt Leo's arm around her back.

"Where are we going?" Leo whispered into her ear, Piper could feel his warm breath on her shoulder.

"Some place more quiet, secluded than this." Piper said turning to face him.

"Where?"

"You'll find out…"

"Piper, please?"

"Okay, okay…we're going back to my place…or the grounds anyway." Piper said with a flirtatious smile.

"What? NO! I…I…I can't…" Leo said surprised.

"Why not Leo?"

"It's just…I…I'm only a normal guy!"

"And I'm just a normal girl….underneath all this…on the outside, the fame and fortune and stuff. But I don't see what difference it makes."

"I…I can't go to your place…you, you probably live in some huge castle or palace or something. And someone like me can't go to a palace."

"Leo, it doesn't matter. You can come, my parents are away on business; just calm down and come. Please." Piper said looking directly into Leo's eyes.

Leo thought for a minute then cracked a smile; "I'm guessing I don't have much of a choice in this do I?"

"Not a chance." Piper said grabbing his hand as she ran through the woods to the castle.

A short while later they came to what seemed to be a clearing in the woods, but in front of the couple a large grey stone wall covered in ivy stood. Piper released Leo's hand and walked up to the wall, she pulled back a cape of ivy and kicked the wall revealing a door, she gestured for Leo to enter and followed him.

"What is this place?" Leo said quietly as he looked around.

"This; is my retreat…my secret garden; it's right down the bottom of our grounds. I often come here; but I keep thinking something's missing, I feel lonely…which is why I like to escape to the lake; even if I don't talk to people there, I feel less lonely." Piper said and bit her lip.

"It's beautiful."

"Yeah," she agreed.

"But not as beautiful as you…" Leo smiled.

"Leo…"

"No, it's true…I can't deny it, I won't. I've always had feelings for you…when I was a kid I told my parents that I'd meet you one day, and that you were the one for me; but…that was kid speak." Leo laughed nervously as Piper blushed, "I still think it was...I mean, I was young and naïve then; but now, I know no-one compares to you…and…was wondering…will you be my girlfriend? I understand if you say no, I mean I'm just an ordinary guy, you should be with some guy who lives in a mansion, or a prince or something…I know I don't deserve you but…"

"Leo?" Piper asked stopping his rambling.

"What?"

"You know you ramble when you're nervous?" She giggled, Leo said nothing, "It's cute…and I'd love to go out with you. Until I'd met you, I didn't know what it was like to be an ordinary teenager; I've had none of the stuff normal girls my age have; I've never had a boyfriend, a best friend even, I've never just been free and run around without a care in the world, I've never snuck out at night, or done anything against my parents wishes. But I want to; Leo…I want to break free, I want to be me; and I want to be me with you." Piper said closing the gap between her and Leo.

Leo embraced Piper and there faces inched closer and closer together, Piper threw her arms around Leo's neck as he pulled her closer with his arms that were around her waist. It was just one kiss at first, short, sweet and tender; but seconds after parting they both wanted more and Leo pulled her back for more. This time the kiss lasted longer, a feeling of pure bliss spread over the two as their tongues danced as one. Minutes later the couple pulled away, smiling.

"So, can I interest you in a tour of the palace?" Piper said her eyes dancing, glinting in the early afternoon sun.

"Oh, I'm perfectly happy to just stay here, m'lady. But as long as I'm with you, whatever we do is fine by me." Leo smiled.

Piper giggled as Leo wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they walked up towards the palace.

"And…This, is my room!" Piper said opening a pair of double doors to reveal a room that was almost the same size as Leo's house.

"And, it's just yours?" Leo asked in awe with the size of it.

"Yeah…it's a bit big…feels kinda like a prison cell sometimes." Piper explained as she walked over to the small, red love seat that was set in the corner overlooking the grounds. Leo, however was still hovering in the doorway.

"Don't worry; you can come in." She laughed as he carefully walked over to her and sat beside her.

After Leo had sat down, Piper moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder and Leo held her tight.
