PROMPT:

The fragment of a dream

Maxie Jones was sitting alone in the Crimson office toiling away on some project that Kate left her to do. Sure she had always dreamed of a job in fashion and knew she had to start somewhere and being Kate Howard's first assistant was her golden opportunity to make it big but why did Kate have to be such a bitch to her. Sighing she closed her eyes as her head was begging to hurt a bit. It was then that she fell into a daydream.

She was at some A list party wearing the killer red dress that was featured on the premiere issue of the magazine. She picked up a flute of champagne from the waiter and began listening to the soft music that began to fill up the room.

Stars shining bright above you, Night breezes seem to whisper I love you...

She was lost in the moment that she didn't pay attention to where she was going and she bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry," she said spinning around on her heels. His head was ducked down so she couldn't see his face but noticed his designer suit and wondered if he was some big shot investor however when he tilted his head up and she caught a glimpse into his emerald eyes she couldn't help but smile a bit at the fact that it was one Damian Spinelli and he was looking GOOD.

She reached out to take his hand as they made their way to the dance floor.

Birds singing in the sycamore tree, dream a little dream of me...

Their bodies were pressed close together and they were leaning into a kiss when suddenly...

-Ding-

The sound of the elevator opening threw her out of her thoughts.

'Great' she thought, 'Just what I need now Kate coming back to yell at me for slacking and...'

"Greetings Blonde One," Spinelli said making his way to her desk.

"Spinelli what are you doing here."

"I ran into the fashionista at Mr. Corinthos Sir's place of business and she informed me you were preparing to burn the midnight oil as it were so..."

He pointed to the brown paper bag in his hand and the cup of coffee that he had placed on her desk.

"I thought that you could use the Jackal to bring you some nourishment."

Maxie smiled at him as she picked up the coffee and took a sip wondering if one of the barista's knew her order or if he had it memorized.

"Thank you Spinelli." She said standing up and taking the bag from him.

"Please tell me it's not chips in here."

"As much as I was tempted to bestow upon you the awesomeness that is the food of the gods I could tell that it wasn't what you would want. I figured you were more of a coffee and chocolate chip scone kind of girl."

Maxie smiled picking out the scone and taking a bite of it smiling.

"Mmm thank you."

Spinelli shrugged.

"Don't mention it; this is just what I do."

Turning around he headed back toward the elevator to leave the office when he felt her hand gently touch his shoulder and chills went up his spine. He wondered to himself why she did that to him, wondering if she knew that a simple touch, a smile, the faint smell of her perfume was driving him mad.

"Don't go Spinelli, keep me company."

He looked at her with a deer in headlights look. Was he hearing correctly, did the Jr. Fashionista really want to share in the Jackal's company?

"Um is my hearing going or did you just say you wanted me to stay."

Maxie nodded and pointed toward Lulu's desk on the other side of the room.

"Take a seat, I mean it's not as if Lulu is going to come in ad help. I mean she's probably with Johnny, or Logan, or whoever her flavor of the week is and..."

She paused as she caught him looking at her.

"Sorry I know you and Lulu are friends."

"When she wants to be."

He bit his lip. He couldn't believe he just said that as Maxie let out a small giggle.

-

Soon Maxie was back to being immersed in her work while Spinelli was sitting in Lulu's chair gazing at her and sighing as he slipped into another one of his daydreams.

He was dreaming in black and white as he had been accustomed to as of late. He was in a smoky club as faint music began to fill his ears.

Say nighty night and kiss me, just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.

It was then he watched the femme fatal entering the scene her high heels clacking as she sashayed into the room all eyes following her moves. Making her way over to where he said her seductive voice said:

"Take me, I'm yours."

While I'm alone and blue as can be, Dream a little dream of me...

He leaned over to give her a kiss

-SPINELLI-

Her voice rang out

"Um...um."

He blinked a few times wondering if she wanted to know what he was up to however as she looked across the room she had an evil glint in her eye.

"Spinelli let's have some fun."

"Fun, w-what kind of fun."

Maxie smirked.

"Let's raid the closet you know, play dress up."

"Dress up."

"Come on it will be fun."

"And it could get you in serious trouble with the fashionista and you could get fired. And this is your dream and..."

"And Spinelli we won't get caught."

"W-we won't."

"No, because the Jackal will fix the security tapes."

Maxie smirked and he wondered if this was why she had asked him to stay all along, for this highly illegal ulterior motive. Sighing he couldn't say no, that wasn't in the Jackal's nature. Instead he bashfully smiled and followed her into the realms of the unknown.

--

Maxie had grabbed this stunning Emerald Green evening down and was just scoping herself in one of the full length mirrors when she heard footsteps.

"Crap, Kate I'm so so..."

She turned around and locked her blue grey eyes into his Emerald ones and blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Like that afternoon in the cannery and like in her daydreams she couldn't help but think to herself that this geek cleaned up good. His hair was still a mess but it looked like he had found a comb and attempted to make an effort. He also managed to find a pair of dress shoes in his size and changed out of his sneakers.

"You look amazing Maxie. I swear if this job tanks you should go into modeling."

Maxie blushed.

"I'm sorry was that too forward?"

"No..." she paused to compose herself, "thank you for your complement."

He nodded making a modeling pose.

"So you have not said how the Jackal looks."

Maxie blinked again.

"I don't know about the Jackal but you Damian are looking utterly handsome tonight."

He smiled hoping he didn't look cheesy. First of all no one called him Damian, always Spinelli sometimes the Jackal or Diane who called him Mr. Grasshopper but never Damian. And handsome, the last time anyone called him this was his granny the afternoon of his high school graduation.

She looked over at him and smiled.

"You don't get complemented allot I can tell."

He shook his head.

"Well let me see if I can't start a trend."

He shrugged wondering what else this young vixen who always thought of him as a fashion eyesore could possibly come up with to complement him.

Maxie reached over to a small radio on the side of the room and turned it to a Jazz station.

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear, still craving your kiss; I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear...

Maxie smiled impressed that he was such a good dancer as they moved across the room.

"Is this your first time."

"First time..."

"This, dancing."

"Well I took lessons when I was younger...don't tell Stone Cold, and I brushed up on my moves before..."

"Before WHAT Spinelli."

"Well first before Carly and Jax's wedding when I was intent on winning Lulu over, then again before the Black and White Ball cause I wanted to impress Nurse Nadine..."

Maxie nodded. Thinking that both times he went to all that trouble to impress girls that would never love him back. Sure Lulu had her excuses and frankly he was better off without, but Nadine was a nice woman, she wondered what her problem was with him. She wondered, was she in this moment jealous of Lulu and Nadine for holding his attention.

"You must have had lots of practice, I mean you must have been Prom Queen and..."

"I never went to my Prom."

"You didn't."

"First time around senior year well it was complicated and well there is no Proms at all girl boarding schools."

He nodded glad to see her opening up to him. Wondering if Cooper or even her first real love Jesse knew this side of her.

Just saying this, sweet dreams till sun beams find you, sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you...

The conversation stopped suddenly as his body inched closer to hers and their lips met. Sure he wasn't consciously thinking of seizing the day, this was just some reflex that he had in the moment right.

Pulling back he swallowed hard.

"I'm sorry Maxie. I should go back into the closet and change out of these cloths and perform my servos of hiding tonight's exploits from Kate and..."

"You don't have to be sorry...that is...did you mean to kiss me."

"Yes...Yes god yes...I'm in love with you Maxie and even if this declaration never leaves these four walls and tomorrow we go back to being just friends or heck back to being mortal enemies I don't care and..."

"I love you too Spinelli."

He blinked his eyes.

"I don't know when, or why, or how but I'm crazy for you."

"You are."

"I am."

He smiled as Maxie looked over to the clock.

"But maybe we should get changed and I should get back to work or doctored tape or not Kate will find out."

Spinelli nodded.

"Good idea."

They headed back to change and headed back to the office.

Maxie sat down at her desk working while Spinelli rolled Lulu's chair over to Maxie's desk and was busy hacking away at security footage. Every few minutes they would look up from their screens and smile at each other knowing that this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me
