I'd Rather Be With You
Alright I am saying now DO NOT FLAME ME I've been mulling over doing another Milo/Maxie fic (I previously hinted them in my story Second Chances) I AM Still a Spinelli/Maxie shipper but I am not exclusive by any means to writing only them. I don't own GH but love to take the characters out of my Box of Pain to play every now and then. Song used is I'd Rather Be With You by Vanessa Hudgens...
The pulled up at Catacomb as the sound of music echoed from the inside of the club.
"Allow me," Milo said getting out of the car and opening Maxie's door yet again.
She sighed.
She defiantly loved the chivalrous behavior displayed by her date, none of the guys she was with before had been one to pull out chairs and hold doors. Well sure Jesse did on occasion but he didn't seem to make a habit of it like Milo did.
Taking his hand they made their way toward the club and were immediately let in, the bouncer winking at Maxie as they went through the door.
"So, do you want to find a spot on the couches and talk some more," Milo asked as Maxie shook her head.
"We talked at Dinner, I want to dance."
Milo smiled at her as he turned to the floor. Sure he knew how to dance, heck his mother had forced him into taking ballroom class with her at the community center as a teenager but the site of all the people in the club gyrating beneath the neon lights of the club kind of unsettled him, especially with the thought of Maxie Jones being the one pressed up against his body.
"Come on, don't be such a party pooper already Giambetti."
She took his hand and led him toward the floor grinding her body against his.
He felt an strange yet soothing sensation as her body pressed against his and he liked it though it was majorly taboo and he knew he'd be going to confession for it come Sunday.
'Well at least the priest will get a change from hearing I shot at a man,' he thought to himself as they moved some more.
Soon he was getting into the grove of the music and moving right along with her.
She felt his toned body press up against hers and her borrowed heart began to flutter and she wondered if this would be something hazardous to her health, did she even care. She gently began to caress his cheek with her soft hand and wanted to kiss him right there when the sight of a familiar figure appeared from the corner of her eye.
Milo spotted the same figure and took a step back hoping his date wouldn't notice the sudden change in actions. He didn't under any circumstance want his best friend to find out he was falling for his girl.
"Hi Spinelli," Milo said casually as the young hacker ran over to the duo looking pretty sharp himself dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a green polo shirt causing Maxie to smile.
"Milo, Maximista, what are you doing here," Spinelli said playing dumb as he knew exactly the reason for the two being together at the night spot.
Maxie smiled at her best friend.
"We're on a date Spinelli."
He smiled and turned to his friend.
"Milo do you mind if I steal your date for a dance."
Milo shrugged while Maxie shook her head.
"Actually my heart is racing which probably isn't good."
Spinelli nodded knowing of Maxie's heart condition.
"Well then why doesn't Maximista go find a seat and the Jackal will procure us some cool refreshing beverages."
Maxie nodded as Spinelli took a few steps away before turning back.
"Alcoholic or non."
"Non," Maxie said.
It's you and me
But then you call him over
And your buddy makes three
I know you're just trying to do right
Spinelli returned a few moments later with a sparkling water for her and an Orange soda for himself.
"I didn't know what you wanted Milo so I didn't get you anything."
"That's fine," Milo said getting up from the table to get a drink feeling he could humor Spinelli by giving him a few moments alone with Maxie to see what she said.
"The Maximista looks striking this evening."
Maxie smiled at the complement.
"Thank you Spinelli, anyway you don't look so bad yourself. Have I ever told you green is my favorite color on you."
"Maximista has told the Jackal this once or twice," he replied, nodding as he though that this was precisely the reason he chose the shirt in the first place.
"So Spinelli, what brings you out to Catacomb tonight, do you have some hot date of your own."
"Me, a date," he said letting out a small chuckle not noticing her eyes wandering to where Milo was standing by the bar looking over at the couple.
Taking in a breath Maxie smiled as he continued.
"No, the Jackal merely just wanted to get out, Stone Cold is still on business and I was sick of looking at the four walls of my regrettably pink room."
Maxie nodded as she shifted her attention back toward her friend and placed her hand on his giving him goose bumps while she felt nothing at all.
"Spinelli we need to get you a girl, you know have you ever tried online dating, I mean I'd never try it but I here some sites are quite reliable."
"I'll look into that," he said feeling a bit crushed. He could only assume she had given Milo the same song and dance she was giving him, "anyways the Jackal doesn't want to impose on your date any longer so he'll take leave."
"Goodnight Spinelli, call me tomorrow we'll talk alright."
Spinelli nodded as Maxie gave him a hug and he took his orange soda and headed out.
A glance, a touch
Try not to stare just a little too much
Baby, it's impossible to fight
After Spinelli left Maxie began to eye the dance floor.
"Care to take me for another round around the floor."
Milo nodded and headed out onto the floor letting their bodies move to the rhythm of the music for a few more songs before deciding to call it a night.
As they got into the car they sat in the parking spot as Milo looked at Maxie a saddened expression on his face.
"Milo what's wrong."
"I've done something terrible."
"Please don't tell me your feeling some kind of remorse from staling the Bentley, I can totally tell Sonny it was my idea and if he fires you I can so tip my dad off on something or other."
"It's not the Bentley Maxie, Sonny will get over it Max does it all the time anyways."
"Then what is it."
Milo let out a sigh. He couldn't do this with a guilty conscience.
"This date."
"It was unexpected, in a good way."
Milo smiled.
'That it was' he thought thinking back to his fortune about a pleasant surprise waiting him and falling for Maxie Jones was defiantly the most pleasant of surprises.
"I need to confess."
Now it was Maxie who smiled thinking of her own fortune that someone was interested in her. This was it, Milo was going to confess he had this crush on her she just knew it.
"Spinelli."
"What about Spinelli."
"Spinelli asked me to ask you out so that I could see if you liked him and..."
"And you only asked me because of that."
"Yes...well no...well at first..."
"Go on, I'm loving this story."
"Truth is, I kind of like you myself Maxie, I mean is it selfish for me to like the same guy my friend does."
"It means you have good taste. Anyway wait a minute when you say Spinelli likes me you mean he..."
"Like likes you...yea."
"Man I feel like an idiot, leading him on when to me he's like a brother to me you know...filling the void Georgie left only more so because he's the first real friend I've ever had."
"It's alright Maxie."
"No it's not alright, because I kind of feel guilty Milo because I think I may be falling for you."
"You are."
Maxie nodded as they headed back to the Commissioners house chatting about the revelation they just had.
Best of intentions
Do you really wanna give me away
I'll take this moment to say
They pulled up to the commissioner's house and Mac's car wasn't in the driveway.
"Looks like he's still at the station, hopefully it's not cause of your boss."
Milo nodded.
"Hopefully."
Maxie smiled.
"So, now what are we a couple or..."
Milo shrugged.
"I wouldn't know, I've never really had a girlfriend before."
"Now I find that hard to believe."
"What can I say, I'm painfully shy."
"Sonny Corenthos's bodyguard, shy."
"That's why I mostly stick to the driving while Max does the guarding."
Maxie let out a chuckle.
"Well yes you're my boyfriend I guess, though."
"Though."
"My dad is going to be pissed."
"Forget your dad what about Spinelli."
Maxie placed her pointer finger on her temple.
"Hmm...well I've snuck around my dad with guys tons of times, I mean it was a good four or five months till he even knew about Coop."
"But Spinelli."
"I don't know, I guess we let him down gently, when the time is right."
"And in the meantime."
Maxie smiled as she leaned over to give her date a kiss on his cheek.
"Goodnight Mr. Giambetti."
He let out a small laugh, shaking his head as he looked into her sparkling cerulean eyes.
"Goodnight Miss Jones."
I'd rather be with you, baby
You know what you're doing to me
You're the one, the only one
That sets it all on fire
Yeah you, baby
(and I can see you want to be with me)
Yeah you know what I'm saying is true
I'd rather be with you
