Wickedly Charmed! ~ Leo Wyatt

Chapter 1: Witch Trial

Phoebe and I walk into the manor, holding the bags from our shopping trip when I notice that all of the lights are off.

"Hello? Anybody home? Sister witches, guess what?" Phoebe calls out excitedly as we walk into the lounge room, Phoebe flicks the light on when all of a sudden Piper jumps up from the couch in shock and that is when I notice the banker that was underneath PIper on the couch.

"Oh, oh. Are you nuts?" Piper starts to freak out slightly while her eyes flick quickly between me and the guy on the couch, making me slightly suspicious.

"What are you doing?" I ask Piper who doesn't get the chance to answer me as she fidgets nervously.

"Hi," The guy sits up slightly and I struggle to hide my laugh.

"Hi," Phoebe smiles and waves at him before Piper freezes him and walks over to us.

"Ooh," She groans and I crack, the laugh that I was struggling to hide slips from between my lips and Piper glares at me.

"Hi," Phoebe's smile gets bigger but Piper is still freaking out.

"Sister witches? I can't believe you said that. What's the matter with you?" she demands and Phoebe laughs.

"How was I supposed to know that you were gonna be here with anybody? Last I heard, you were meeting a banker friend about the loan," With that comment, my head springs up and I glare at Piper who has the sense to look guilty.

"It's not what you think. We were just... we-we... were just kissing, that's all," Piper stutters as I cross my arms across my chest.

"Piper, don't tell me that this is the same guy at refused to give me a loan for that club I was thinking of buying?" I ask her and she just grins at me, causing me to groan and hang my head.

"Melody, calm down. Piper, you don't have to justify it. You're single. You're responsible. You're way overdue in the sex department. I say go for it," Phoebe roots for her, and I quickly look over at her in shock.

"I'm not way overdue. All right, maybe a little, but that's beside the point. I would never just sleep with a guy to get something. You know that," Piper justifies and I sigh and nod in understanding of where my sister is coming from.

"Piper, you didn't need to do this, I could have found a way to get the money for the club myself," I tell her and she sighs, shaking her head.

"Melody, give yourself a break. You're going through a lot right now. No job, straining to buy the club, you haven't heard from Leo in weeks," she reminds me and I nod, Prue then walks in through the front door on her phone.

"All right, well, the preview is at five, and the auction is Sunday at eleven," she responds to whoever is on the other end before Piper stops her.

"Oh no, Prue. Go back outside. Go on. Hurry!" Piper rushes her so Prue quickly walks back out the front door right before Piper quickly gets back into her place behind the banker guy before he unfreezes.

"So, you must be Prue," he points to Phoebe, completely dismissing me which makes me scoff in anger as he stands up from our couch.

"Uh, no. Actually...," Phoebe points behind us as Prue walks back into the manor and she tries to end her phone call.

"All right, great, yeah, I'll see you then," Prue hangs up and walks over to us.

"She's Prue. I'm Phoebe, and this is Melody next to me," The guy nods and smiles at Phoebe before Piper speaks up.

"Rob, can we take a rain check for the rest of the evening? It's getting kind of crowded in here," she laughs nervously as he nods.

"Okay, sure," he then grabs his coat and heads or the front door with Piper right behind him.
