Spinelli couldn't believe what was happening. He had poured his heart out to the Blonde One...writing her a sonnet...telling her that though she wasn't ready to fall in love with him just yet he's be waiting and in the meantime he's be her friend.
"I gotta say what's on my mind," Lulu said after Spinelli finished reading, "Something about us doesn't seem right these days."
Spinelli looked at her confused.
"Please don't tell me," Spinelli said, "your falling for the unworthy one aren't you."
Lulu nodded and sat down at the table across from him.
"Yea," she said, "but before you say anything..."
"What do you expect me to say Blonde One," Spinelli said, "that the Jackal is happy for you, that you opened up your heart?"
"Something like that," Lulu said, "I mean damn it Spinelli you need to get over this infatuation you have with me."
Music played faintly from the jukebox as Spinelli looked at the blonde, his heart breaking.
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever We Try
Somehow the plan is rearranged
Lulu gave him an apologetic look, yet the word sorry wouldn't spring from her lips.
"It's so hard to say," Lulu said, "But I gotta do what's right for me, you'll be okay."
"I'll be okay Blonde One," Spinelli said, "that's all you can say...I'll be okay."
A tear swelled up in her eyes. He didn't like the fact he was making her this way.
"I've got to go move on and be what I am," Lulu said, "I just don't belong here, I hope you understand."
Spinelli looked at her and a thought occurred in his mind, maybe he could talk her out of it.
"Before you go and sleep with the unworthy one," Spinelli said, "there is something that you need to know."
"What is it now Spinelli," Lulu said standing up and leaning against the counter.
"While I was confirming the unworthy one's paternity," Spinelli said, "I found out some information on his most worthy mother...a woman you know all too well."
Lulu couldn't believe it, Spinelli the most trustworthy guy she knew was lying to her and telling her Logan was her brother so she wouldn't sleep with him.
"Spinelli," Lulu said a bit upset, "We might find our place in this world someday."
"You mean there is still hope Blonde One," Spinelli asked a change in his tone.
Lulu shrugged as she headed for the door.
"But at least for now," Lulu said, "I've gotta go my own way."

Spinelli was now sitting on his laptop mulling over what had just happened. He wanted to tell her he was sorry but seeing as she was pissed off he began to type up a letter that he knew she would never read.
Dear Blonde One,
Don't want to leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up and I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to gray
And it's just too hard...to watch it all...slowly fade away
He wished for a sign that something would turn out right for him when suddenly the door opened and Cooper Barrett and Maxie Jones come into the diner.
"I told you he came on to me Coop," Maxie said.
"I saw it with my own eyes," Cooper said, "and you know what no matter who kissed who Logan's lips touched your mouth."
Spinelli's eyes lit up and he smiled in triumph as he continued to listen to Cooper and Maxie fight.
"I'm leavin' today," Cooper said to the blonde he was with, "Cause I gotta do what's best for me."
"But Coop," Maxie said.
"You'll be okay," Cooper said heading upstairs, his girlfriend following her.

A little bit after the altercation Lulu returned and looked at Spinelli.
"Spinelli," Lulu said, "I took some time to breathe and I'm sorry."
"Apology always accepted Blonde One," Spinelli said, "however while you were gone I heard most important news straight from the Clean Cut Cadet's mouth."
"Cooper," Lulu asked, "what does Cooper have to do with things?"
"I overheard him and the Mouthy One in a fight," Spinelli said, "apparently he walked into the Unworthy one's apartment to see him locking lips with his girlfriend."
"Spinelli not again," Lulu said turning her back to him, "I've got to go move on and be what I am."
"But Blonde One," Spinelli interjected but Lulu ignored.
"I just don't belong here," She continued, "I hope you understand."
"Yes I understand," Spinelli nodded, "We might find our place in this world someday."
She gave him a sad smile as Logan entered the diner giving her a kiss on the cheek. She took his hand and gave one last word to Spinelli.
"But at least for now," She said sadly, "I've gotta go my own way."
Logan looked at Spinelli then back to her.
"So," Logan said, "ready to go."
She nodded leaving the diner and not turning back.

The next day Spinelli went to the Police station to get some sage advice from Stone Cold. He had pretended to be one of Jason's attorneys and got right in to talk to him. After his conversation he wanted to find his Blonde One. To tell her that if she wanted to get involved with Logan Hayes he wouldn't judge her, not to say he wouldn't be happy about it because he wasn't.
He entered the Metro Court to see her talking to the Valkyrie Carly. Oh how he hoped that if the Fair Blonde One wasn't destined to be his true love that they could one day have a friendship as good as the Valkyrie and Stone Cold.
Lulu realized he was watching her and smiled. Carly knew they needed space so she walked away.
Spinelli took a step closer to the Blonde and got down on his knees.
"What about us what about everything we've been through," Spinelli said, "I mean being captured by evil Al's goons, the Hostage Crises..."
"What about trust," Lulu said.
"You know I never wanted to hurt you," Spinelli said.
Lulu shook her head. She was hurt by Spinelli but at the same time she knew she was making him hurt just as much if not more so.
"What about me," Lulu asked, "I mean I want to be with Logan but knowing how you feel..."
"What am I supposed to do," Spinelli asked.
"Be there," Lulu said, "don't fight with me or him...who knows maybe one day the two of you will learn to get along."
Spinelli rolled his eyes as Lulu looked at her watch.
"I promised Logan I'd meet him," Lulu said, "I gotta leave but I'll miss you."
Lulu pulled Spinelli up and gave him a hug as she exited the hotel.
Spinelli stayed standing in place, taking the last traces of her perfume that was lingering in the air.
"Miss you," he whispered.
THE END...
I hope you like...keep a lookout for other one shots that I may add here...
