Ok I'm back again. I've semi-recovered from Georgie's death glare. I've fallen for Spixie and I'm inspired these days, so here goes...
Damien Spinelli was alone.
Ok, so he wasn't completely alone. There were other people in Kelly's, but despite how many people were around him, part of him always felt alone. He knew he was lucky to finally have people that really cared about him, but he knew that they didn't really know him. He couldn't tell them who he was inside. He was too afraid they'd leave him behind as well.
He grinned when she came bounding in, blonde hair bouncing happily on her head. He frowned slightly when his other blonde one walked in seconds later, not because he wasn't happy to see her, but because he really hated dealing with their fights
He rolled his eyes when he heard them exchanging verbal jabs, choosing to remain in his seat and focus on finding the evildoer that harmed the Little Dude.
Luckily, the fighting didn't last long. Lulu grabbed a coffee and left, while Maxie plunked down in the chair across from him.
"I really can't stand that bi-"
Spinelli cut her off with a glare.
"Ahem. I mean…how was your day?"
Spinelli raised an eyebrow and then smiled softly. Both girls had promised to try to keep him out of the middle. He was glad to see Maxie putting forth the effort.
"My day has been most busy. I've been following all clues in hopes of identifying the Evil Sniper of the Night to no avail. How about you? Has the Fashionista kept the Wounded Blonde One busy today?"
Maxie sighed. "Definitely. Working for Kate is hard, but it'll be worth it in the long run." She grinned. "Anyways, she let me go early. She had to attend some meeting with Sonny to discuss Michael's treatment."
Spinelli frowned. "I'm sure the Valkyrie will appreciate her presence."
"Hey, if Carly can have Jax AND Jason there, Sonny can bring Kate."
"Stone Cold is the Valkyrie's best friend and Uncle to Michael. And would you really expect Carly's husband to not be there?"
"And what's Kate, chopped liver? She's Sonny's-"
"Flavor of the year?" Spinelli chuckled.
Maxie raised an eyebrow. "And what do you know about Sonny's love life? You haven't been in Port Charles that long."
"True, but the Bodybuilding Bodyguard told the Jackal much about the Godfather's life. Let's see, there was Karen, Brenda, Lily, Hannah-"
"Ok I-"
"Angel, Alexis, Carly, Sam-"
"I get it."
"Reese, Kate-"
"Spinelli! One more name and I'll kill you." She glared at him.
He stared at her for a moment as if trying to decide whether she'd really kill him. Then he mumbled, "Claudia. "
Maxie threw a straw at Spinelli.
"Hey! Violence isn't the answer."
"Says the guy who works for the mob. Besides, what're you gonna do about it?" She stuck out her tongue.
Spinelli shook his head and tried to focus on his computer again.
"Hey Spinelli, you wanna hang out tonight?"
He looked up, slightly confused. "Huh?"
"I just figured we could watch some movies, order pizza, ya know…friend stuff?"
Spinelli pondered the concept for a few moments. "Hmm the Jackal thinks that could be fun."
Maxie grinned widely. "Great. I'll be over around 7."
