A/U - Takes place after 5/22 scene where Maxie confronts Johnny about sleeping with Olivia. The first chunk is taken from the episode to catch you up to the scene. I own no rights to anything.

Maxie walked from her car toward the garage. She wasn't sure why she was even there but ever since she heard about Olivia and Johnny she knew she had to see him. As she walked up to the door she could hear Johnny's voice. He was yelling at someone. She probably should have turned and left but instead she kept walking.

"Oh, my God -- do you hear yourself, Claudia? You are my sister, for God's sakes. You know, I went out to a bar. I got trashed. Met a woman that I liked, slept with her, and liked it. So what?" Johnny had his back to the door while he yelled at his sister.

Claudia didn't notice Maxie either as she argued back "So, Olivia Falconeri is my enemy, John. You're my brother. And I expect some loyalty from you after everything I've done for you"

"Everything you've done for me ? What? Getting me –" Johnny turned to notice Maxie in the door. "Maxie"

"Much better. At least this one's age-appropriate. Have at her, John. Bang her brains out. Stay away from Olivia Falconeri." With that Claudia left the garage.

Johnny hadn't wanted Maxie to hear that "What I just said to her –"

Before he could even finish the though she said the one thing she had been asking herself all day. "Johnny, why did you sleep with Olivia Falconeri?"

He didn't say anything and just looked surprised she had even said it and so was she but it was too late to go back now. "I'm just confused why you slept with Olivia. Maybe you have some untapped mommy issues?" Maxie realized the moment she let those words leave her mouth that she had probably crossed the line.

"Okay, you're way out of line, Maxie. First off, because Olivia's smart and beautiful, and I really like her. Second –"

"No, you cannot possibly like Kate Howard's cousin." She interrupted. "I thought you were just going to say this was a drunken mistake, and you would put it all behind you."

"Maxie, why do you care so much about who I sleep with?" He asked, wondering why she was really there.

"I don't know. I -- I thought you liked me." She said it, it was out there and then she waited.

"What's the deal with you, Maxie? Is it an attention thing? You're not happy unless every guy you meet wants to hook up with you?" He was baiting her.

"You're not every guy. And you do want me. You're attracted to me. You can't deny that."

"I'm not denying anything. But you were the one who made it clear the feeling wasn't mutual."

"I never said that." She wondered how he could even think that.

"Okay, fine, you want to get technical? You want me, but you want Spinelli more."

"I need Spinelli." Why couldn't he see that, understand how important Spinelli was to her.

"Word game." He turned his back on her walking to his desk.

"It's so different. Spinelli is good for me. He believes in me. I couldn't imagine my life without him. And I've tried to turn my back on the fact that I'm attracted to you for Spinelli's sake, but I'm not sure I can do that." She was frustrated, frustrated that she had felt such a strong urge to come here, frustrated that Johnny couldn't understand, frustrated that she was so completely torn by what she felt and what she knew in her heart.

He turned back towards her. "Okay, well, then you got to get yourself straight, Maxie. Decide what you can and can't handle. You want to jump into bed with me? I'm not going to kick you out. But I have one noble act in me. Beyond that, I'm over this whole self-denial thing. So if you want to do this, let's go."

Maxie didn't know what to say. Sure she knew she should just turn and walk out of that garage but there was a connection, something so strong and electrifying. Spinelli may have made her feel like a better person but Johnny was like a drug to her. Once she got around him she just wanted to stay longer, push farther, see how close she could get to that line.

"So?" Johnny asked he had moved close to her during his rant and he was so close she could have easily have just dove in and had the moment. But instead she started to think.

"It's just I worked so hard to get Spinelli back and-" Maxie tried to explain.

"Maxie, I don't want to hear it" Johnny turned and started to walk away "I told you I'm not going to play this game. If you want to go then –"

She caught his wrist and stopped him from walking. He turned back towards her.

"Just shut up" The next moment Maxie's lips met his. She kissed him deeper and harder than she thought she could have. She thought for a second about Spinelli's face but when Johnny raised his hand to her face, ran his fingers through her hair; she quickly pushed his image away. This is what she had wanted, the reason she had wanted to come see him so strongly.

Johnny's mouth moved away from hers and down to her neck. His mouth and warm breath were driving her crazy. It was a feeling that had been building for a long time. She had her hands under his shirt, feeling his warm skin. Everything seemed so warm. He slid the straps of her dress off her shoulders, nibbling her skin. She let out a soft moan. He was no amateur. Soon his mouth was back on hers. Without breaking the kiss he grabbed her waist in his hands and lifted her off the ground. He carried her over toward the desk and sat her on the corner while he pulled off his shirt.

Maxie looked at him, taking him in, she smiled

"What?" Johnny laughed as her mouth broke into a larger smile. "Something amusing?"

"Not at all. I was just thinking how lucky Olivia really had it. I bet she hasn't been with someone as hot as you in a long time."

"Well she's an attractive women but she's got nothing on you." He said placing his hands on her thighs and slowly sliding her dress up.

"Oh really?" Maxie said placing her hands on his shoulders and pulling him closer to her.

"Yes, really." He said and kissed her again. This time slower, gentler and somehow more intense. She couldn't believe how great he kissed and tasted and felt. She was completely wrapped up in the moment until she heard someone clear their throat in the room.

A/U - So what do you think, this is my first attempt at writing fan fiction and I realize more than half is from the show but I love to read it and figured I would give it a go. So thoughts? comments?
