The Perfect Storm
Yet another GH plot bunny hopping around in my head...I don't know how far I will go on this yet but I hope you like...I don't own GH just my latest OC ...
It was an unusual slow evening at Kelly's Georgie Jones observed as she sat behind the counter. Mike had been out of town and trusted the young girl to run the diner while he was away. There was only one customer at the diner on this Friday Night. Spinelli was sitting there typing away on his laptop stuck in his own little world. Georgie would occasionally look up from the book she was reading and look over at him. She hadn't really known Spinelli except for the fact that he was deeply in love with Lulu Spencer. The only other sound besides Spinelli's typing came from upstairs. Cooper Barrett was up there with her sister Maxie going at it like rabbits like they usually did. Georgie felt a pang of jealousy toward her sister.
'Why dose Maxie get a nice guy like Cooper and I get no one.' She thought.
There was a rumble of thunder in the distance that suddenly broke Georgie out of her thought. She put down her book and headed to Spinelli's table.

The young hacker looked up at Georgie and smiled. He had only known Georgie Jones as 'Film Guys ex' or the 'Sister to the Bad Blonde One'
"Hey," Georgie said looking down at the table trying to think of something to say. She noticed his cup was empty and smiled, "Want another soda."
Spinelli nodded in silence as he continued to work.
'Whatever he's doing must be important,' Georgie thought heading up back and getting him another Orange Soda.
"Here you go," Georgie said. As she handed him his drink there knuckles brushed against each other and Georgie got chills.
'I can't like Spinelli,' Georgie thought, "he's with Lulu...I think...and even though she stole Dillon from me last summer it wouldn't be right to pursue Spinelli'
Georgie just pulled back when Lulu entered and sat down with Spinelli.
"Greetings Blonde One," Spinelli said.
'Now he speaks," Georgie thought.
"Hi Spinelli," Lulu said, "If you want to do something tell me now cause it looks like rain."
"Do something," Spinelli asked, "are you asking me on a date."
Spinelli was on cloud nine. She had promised she would go out on a test date with both himself and Milo Giambetti. She was supposed to date Milo first but to his knowledge Lulu and Milo hadn't went out yet. Then again Lulu had been in a rut ever since he saw her on the porch of her brother's house crying a few days ago.
"Can't a friend ask another friend to go to a movie or something," Lulu said.
Spinelli shrugged. He never had the pleasure of having real friends before he came to Port Charles.
Lulu looked at Georgie who was still standing there.
"Can I help you," Lulu said.
"I think I should be asking you that," Georgie said, "do you want to order something Lulu."
"I guess," Lulu said telling Georgie her order.
Georgie went back into the kitchen and listened to the noises as she prepared Lulu's order. The banging upstairs stopped so she guessed Maxie and Cooper were taking a break before another round of sex. She heard Lulu giggling...
'Spinelli must have said something funny like he always does.' Georgie had thought to herself. There was also the distinct sound of rain heavily falling on the pavement.
"Here you go Lulu," Georgie said handing the blonde her food faking a smile.
"Thanks," Lulu said.

The door opened and a young girl Georgie recognized entered. Ashley Reeves was in a few of Georgie's classes at PCU and also volunteered with Georgie at the Hospital. Ashley aspired to be a photojournalist but Georgie always thought Ashley cold be a model. Ashley was soaked as she entered the diner and smiled at her friend.
"Hey Georgie," Ashley said, "I could use a hot tea and a friend."
Georgie nodded and headed in back to get the tea. A few seconds later Georgie returned setting the mug on the bar.
"Who is he," Georgie said.
"Excuse me," Ashley said, "you always think it's a guy."
"What is it then," Georgie asked.
"I got the job," Ashley said.
"At the Herald," Georgie asked.
Ashley nodded and said, "I want to go out and celebrate."
"Now," Georgie asked.
"Well when you close down," Ashley said.
Georgie nodded as the sounds of the rain pounding got harder and the door opened again.
'Now we get busy,' Georgie thought as the soaking wet figure of Logan Hayes entered the diner. Logan was the bad boy best friend of Coopers and Georgie always thought he was more suited for her sister then Coop was. She spotted her friend drooling a bit as Logan entered.
Georgie assumed Logan was heading upstairs to stir up trouble between Coop and Maxie so she completely ignored his presence until he slid into the seat next to Ashley.
"What does a guy need to get service here," Logan said.
"So your not here to break up sex-a-peluza 2007," Georgie said, "shocking."
"Break up," Loan said, "hell no but if they want me to join them."
"You're sick," Georgie said.
"And your jealous," Logan said leaning over the counter placing his cold, wet hand on Georgie's shoulder.
"In your dreams," Georgie said getting Logan his coffee.
