Total Eclipse of the Heart

Ok so IlovetowriteSMP has wanted me to write a Milo centric piece for some time and since NS season 2 started I've wanted to do something w/ Kyle and or Claire. So that being said I decided to do this. I don't know how long this will be (if I'll even continue as this chapter is just baiting to see if anyone else reads this) Anyways don't own GH (or NS) and any plot similar to that fanfic or otherwise is purely coincidental. Also this is AU don't know how I'll write the mob since even though I am used to writing Spinelli-fic never have they been mob based always fluff...


Claire Simpson stood a floor below listening to the announcement being made on the intercom. Dr. Drake was proposing to Robin Scorpio and it kind of repulsed her. Not that she didn't like the two of them she really did it was just the idea of love made her a bit woozy.

To say her track record in the romance department was good...well it wasn't. She was a looser magnet. In fact she never wanted to be in medicine it just happened that way. You see she was an art major and when she and her boyfriend at the time split...well let's just say the only classes left were Chemistry and well the rest was history.

Letting out a sigh she remembered that her roommate and best friend Kyle Julian was working a double which kind of saddened her a bit.

Cursing the fact that the most perfect man to enter her life was in fact also seeking his Mr. Right she made her way into the locker room and quickly changed out of her scrubs and into a pair of jeans and a gray and yellow t-shirt. Pulling her long blonde hair into a loose ponytail before checking herself out in the mirror. She didn't know why she did that. It wasn't as if she had anyone to impress right?

Meanwhile across town a young man in his early twenties entered the back door of a small coffeehouse. The office was dark which wasn't surprising as Jason had his own life as did his boss, the once and future king pin of the Port Charles Mafia Sonny Corinthos. Exhaling a deep breath he hung the jacket to his suit over the office chair and loosened the tie around his neck. He was off the clock, for now and he wanted to have some me time.

A part of Milo Giambetti's heart wished that he had a lady to share it with however another thought his life was too dangerous, that women were better off away from him, where they were safe. Even though he knew that if say a girl like Lulu would have accepted him she wouldn't mind his lifestyle, after all her current boyfriend was deeper in the mob life then he'd ever be.

Arriving at the small coffee house Claire felt a chill down her spine. She knew the Elm Street Piers were mob city and yet somehow she was drawn to the area, to the Corinthos Morgan Coffeehouse even though those names alone were synonymous with Organized Crime, she had read the newspaper after all. However she needed someplace new, someplace where Kyle wouldn't start competing with her over the attentions of some hot barista who would probably be more Kyle's type then her own.

Placing her hand on the cool doorknob she let the tinkling of the bell fill her ears.

She instantly inhaled the familiar strong coffee sent making her way up to the barista, a young woman who thankfully wasn't coming on to her.

"Can I take your order," she asked.

Claire nodded ordering her usual, a vanilla soy latte and began to drum her cracked nails on the linoleum counter humming sweetly to the soft music in the background.

Suddenly the back door opened and footsteps sounded.

"Here you go," The Barista said.

"Thanks," Claire said turning around and spilling her latte all over a male figure standing before her.

"God I'm so sorry," she said picking up a wad of brown paper napkins trying to fix the mess she made on his white dress shirt. Watching as the light brown stain got worse instead of better she felt his warm hand move on top of hers pinning it to his well toned chest.

"It's ok," he said, "accidents happen, anyway let my buy you another, my treat."

She smiled and accepted this mysterious stranger's offer thinking he was kind of cute and pondered what to do about it.

I hope you like this so far (especially IlovetowriteSMP) and I would love comments suggestions...I have a few ideas but like I said I am new at writing Mob stuff (and am rusty with non-Spixie)
