Feels Like Tonight
Maxie Jones stared up at the ceiling of the Penthouse, waiting the arrival of her best friend. It felt like he had been gone for forever, but it was only a few months working on some intense project for Jason off in parts of the world she had only dreamed of. While he was gone, she had come to realize something and realize something that was about to change her life and his life forever.
She pulled out her iPod and began to listening to it just as the bedroom door opened and a duffle bag came hurling towards her. "Spinelli!"
"Maxinista!" Cried out just as she dodged the bag and felt him wrap her in his arms.
A smile quickly formed over her lips as she hugged him back, "Surprised I was waiting for you?"
"Very much so." He pulled back and looked at her. Spinelli could tell something was going on behind her eyes, she was plotting something. "But the timing is perfect."
"Really? Why?"
"Damian?" The female voice sent a chill down Maxie's spine. It didn't belong to Lulu and it was far to young to be his granny.
"Spin?" Maxie questioned just as the redhead appeared in the doorway.
Spinelli pulled away from Maxie and took the redheads hand, "Maxinista, I would like to introduce you to Corrine, my fiancé."
If Maxie hadn't been willing her borrowed heart to keep beating she was sure it would stop, "Fiancé?"
Corrine stepped between the two, stretching her hand out. Maxie couldn't help but note the delicate features of her jewelry, obviously handmade. "I'm Corrine White."
"You designed the pendant Blake Lively wore at that film opening last week." Maxie looked down at her watch, "I need to get back to Crimson. Welcome back Spinelli."
Maxie sped out of the room and Corrine looked at Spinelli, "Are you sure you two are just friends?"
"Yes, very sure." Spinelli saw Maxie's iPod sitting on the bed, it was still playing Feels Like Tonight. He hit the pause button and put it in his pocket to return it later.

"Lulu, don't even start." Maxie sank down into her desk chair and moved her mouse around not really looking at the computer screen.
"Did Spinelli not get back yet?"
Maxie pushed back in her chair and began to pace the room, "Oh he's back and he brought something with him."
Lulu looked up at her adversary, "Maxie, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"Spinelli is engaged, to Corrine White."
Lulu turned away trying hard not to laugh, "You mean the one that Kate wants to get an exclusive with?"
"Yes, that Corrine White." Maxie crossed her arms over her chest. "That Corrine White, is going to marry Spinelli."
Lulu stood up and tried to look Maxie in the eye, "Maxie, are you in love with Spinelli?"
"What? No, that's ridiculous." Maxie sat back in her chair, watching as Lulu's eyes grew wide with surprise.
Lulu shook her head, "You are head over heels, over the moon in love with Spinelli." She chuckled, "And he's about to marry some big time jewelry designer."
Maxie glared back at Lulu, "Shut up."
Lulu leaned against Maxie's desk, "So how are we going to break them up?"
"We?"
Lulu shrugged, "I don't have anything better to do since Johnny ran off to join the WSB, and Logan well he like vanished."
"So Lulu, what do you suggest to breaking up Spinelli and Corrine?" Maxie was intrigued, and wondering to see how far Lulu was really willing to go with this.
"They're engaged, you are his best friend these days. An inside job."
Maxie nodded, "Like in that Julia Roberts movie, only I get the guy."
"Exactly, you'll get the guy." Lulu returned to her desk, suddenly realizing she'd just offered to help Maxie Jones, get Spinelli.
