ONE BOY (A Leyla/Spinelli piece)

Ok I know what your thinking an no I haven't jumped the Spixie Ship just keeping my options open while Bob Guza has fun with it's contrived Kristen Storms/Jason Cook reunion tour...I don't own GH just like to take the characters out to play with...Song 'One Boy' from the musical Bye Bye Birdie and lyrics in italics

Nurse Leyla Mir knew she wasn't all that innocent in her romantic endeavors as just that past summer she sabotaged Robin Scorpio and Patrick Drake's relationship. Lucky time healed their wounds and the couple was back together and having a child. The young women secretly wished that she could find someone to love though unlike her mother hoped she didn't want to be tied down yet with a family, just a loving and understanding boyfriend for the moment.

'One boy, One special boy,' she thought to herself, 'One boy to go with, to talk with, and walk with...'

She entered Kelly's after her shift was over and headed to the counter to place her order before slipping into a booth.

'One boy, that's the way it should be...'

Looking at the door she spotted Damian Spinelli entering the diner looking discouraged. She had seen the young man on a weekly basis that previous summer; while she was pursuing Dr. Drake he was pursuing one of her fellow student nurses Jolene who unlucky for him turned out to be a mercy killer. Although they never really talked she saw him around town and most recently they became acquaintances. He helped her out of a bind by being her escort to a wedding, she had to admit he was an impeccable dancer and a great all around guy, too bad he was head over heels for someone who couldn't see him for the amazing gut he was.

He spotted her and smiled.

"Greeting nurse Mir."

She grinned thinking about the other night when she saw him at the Haunted Star.

"Hello Spinelli, so I see you're not 'Damian' anymore."

He chuckled thinking of the night before when he was acting like a suave jet setter.

"Nope, just the plain old loyal doomed to love from afar Jackal."

Leyla shook her head.

"Why do you say that?"

"Say what."

"You're doomed to love from afar; I mean every girl looks for that one boy, one certain boy..."

He gave her a questioning look.

She smiled sweetly.

"One boy to laugh with, and joke with, have coke with."

She thought to herself that in this case it would be orange soda but it was the same concept. She then thought to the wedding when Spinelli told her about his feelings for Maxie and how she was constantly gushing about bad boys like Johnny or big shot designers like Federico. Looking at him she wanted to get his attention to help him grasp what she was trying to say.

"One boy, not two or three."

"I get what the lovely Leyla is trying to say."

"You do."

"Yes that every girl longs for that Prince Charming however I the Jackal am but a poor frog."

Leyla sighed thinking that if only he knew what she felt from those brief moments in his presence.

"I know you are being an optimist and all but, one day you find out, this is what life is all about."

She glared at him confused.

"What is?"

"The sad fact that geeks like me are doomed never to get the girl."

"I don't think your doomed, it's just you need someone who is living just for you."

"Yea right, have you not seen my track record?"

"Track record."

"Yes there was Lulu but she gave me the we can only be friends I'll never be in love speech."

"Then she fell in Love with Johnny."

"Yea, and the unworthy one before that, then there was Jolene and you saw how THAT one turned out."

Leyla nodded.

"Then the wise and fair Georgie who I was blind to her feelings until it was too late."

"And now Maxie."

"Yes, the Maximista who thinks of the Jackal sadly like a replacement for her loyal little sister."

"I'm sure there is someone who sees you as the potential to be that one boy, one steady boy."

He just looked as she continued.

"The one boy to be with, forever, and ever."

She took a deep breath as she leaned over to give him a kiss. This wasn't a kiss on the cheek like the time at the PCPD or at the Casino; no this was a kiss on his sweet orange flavored lips. It was meant to be just short and sweet but she was pleasantly surprised as he kissed back.

Pulling back moments later her realized what she was saying and he pointed to her then back at him a surprised grin crossing his lips.

"One boy," he questioned to her.

She nodded.

"That's the way it should be..."
