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...
Monday morning came and Maxie headed into the coffee house and immediately spotted him standing by the office door. She could tell he spotted her too as he smiled at her across the room causing her to smile back.
"Whatever she wants is on the house," Milo said from across the room.
"That won't be necessary."
"It most certainly is."
Maxie grinned and waited for her and Kate's coffee order before putting what she would have paid for the drinks in the tip jar.
Flashing a smile at the bodyguard she knew she defiantly made an impression on him. Meanwhile he wished he could do more then comp her coffee but they needed to keep things on the down low at least for the moment which was killing him for the share fact he had never had a real relationship before.

Later that afternoon he somehow made his way toward the Metro Court where the crimson offices were held and was waiting in the lobby as she came off the elevator at the end of the day.
"Milo are you here to see Carly or do I have a stalker on my hands."
Milo grinned his sheepish grin which melted her in ways that she never dreamed of as he spoke.
"And what if I said I was stalking you."
She bit her lip and looked around, no sigh of Spinelli or anyone that might tip him off on what was about to happen. She leaned in and gave him a kiss throwing him for a loop.
"Well then yes I am stalking you, I'd stalk you to the ends of the earth for what just happened to happen again."
"Really."
Milo nodded as Maxie looked around and kissed him again. She could defiantly get used to this and she could tell by his actions that he could as well.
"So, do you want to do something more then making out in the Metro Court Lobby?"
"Y-you mean like a second date," Milo said as although he was trying to keep his cool he just couldn't, he was a ball of nerves.
Maxie nodded.
"Like tonight."
"Like right now, I mean we could grab a bite at Kelly's."
"Kelly's, I thought you were all for sneaking around."
Maxie smiled.
"Oh ye of little faith."

They arrived at the diner and Mike came over to greet them.
"Maxie, Milo hi, did you come here together or was this a pleasant coincidence."
"Coincidence," Maxie said before Milo had time to come up with an answer.
Mike nodded as he watched the two of them head to a table.
"Your usual guys."
They nodded and Mike headed to the kitchen loving the predictability of his regulars as the young couple smiled.
"Maxie wow, you weren't kidding when you said you had a plan."
She grinned and bobbed her head allowing her blonde curls to bounce around and glisten under the diner's lights.
"So how was your day," Maxie asked as she began to play footsie with him from under the table.
Milo smiled liking her game.
"It was a good, no major threat which is a plus."
Maxie smiled knowing that she was risking her heart yet again with Milo seeing that he was in the line of fire with being in the mob but she dated two cops, three if you counted her brief dalliance with Lucky Spencer in the summer of 2006 so she was prepared for whatever it was to come.

They enjoyed that evening of playing they were friends when they were subtly flirting weather it was a subtle touch or smile passed between them. They both were longing for more.
Its only time
I'll make you mine
You know you can't deny me
Come a little closer baby
A few weeks had gone by and Spinelli entered the Crimson office to see Maxie sitting at her desk working on some project.
"Greetings Maximista."
"Huh, oh hi Spinelli, how have you been?"
"Nothing changed since yesterday."
Maxie nodded thinking about the fact that he brought her lunch the way he did from time to time like the great friend that he was. However at the moment her mind was consumed on Milo. The two of them had been together since that first night and loved every minute of it. They had been all over town, to Jakes, The Metro Court, Kelly's, and even Catacomb again putting on a show when needed making the outside world think they were simply friends and not a couple. However they have yet to sleep together which was a first for Maxie. Normally if she was this close to a guy she would have jumped his bones at least three times already. But Milo was different, he was more to her then just a hot body, he was a true gentleman and treated her like the princess she was and she respected this.
"Maximista."
"Yes."
"What are you thinking of."
"Fashion week," she said half telling the truth and half lying, "I think Kate is going to ask me to go with her, I mean I've been an asset to her don't you think."
Spinelli just nodded as his cell phone beeped signaling he had a text.
"I've got to go."
"Let me guess, Jason."
Spinelli just nodded deciding not to tell Maxie that he took what was pretty much a confirmed rejection to heart and had met someone online and was texting her back and forth.
Maxie nodded and watched the young man leave before picking up her own phone.
"Milo, its Maxie...you need to tell him because I can't do this any longer."
And tell your friend
that I'm not really interested
There is nothing more that you can do

When Milo showed up at Harberview Towers Spinelli didn't think anything of it.
"Hey man what's up."
Milo smiled thinking about how the young hacker was probably going to kill him when he heard the news he was about to say.
"I brought you something."
Milo placed the paper bag on the table and Spinelli pulled out its contents, a bag of barbeque chips and a bottle of orange soda. His two favorite foods. Thinking that this was something serious he took a seat on the couch.
"Milo just let it out, something is wrong, is Mr. sir mad at the Jackal for something because it's kind of him to send you to soften the blow and all."
"It's not about Sonny, actually it's about Maxie."
"What about Maximista."
"Well, remember a few weeks ago when you asked me to ask her out."
"And you did, I mean I saw you on your 'date' at Catacomb remember."
"Yes I do."
"And the Jackal knows his friends are seeing each other."
"Y-you do."
"Milo, seriously, Jackal PI could tell Maximista wanted nothing but friendship from that moment at catacomb."
Milo let out a sigh.
"Then why didn't you say anything."
Spinelli grinned.
"I wanted to see you two squirm, it was quite entertaining."
"But seriously you're alright with all of this."
"I'm better then alright, I'm ecstatic; I mean two people near and dear finding sole mates in one another."
Milo just nodded.
"Are you sure your fine."
"Positive, in fact the Jackal may just get a girl after all; he's taken Maximista's advice and put out an online profile."
"Online dating."
"Yep, I met this one girl who has matched me in twenty three of twenty five personality points, sadly she's studding in Paris for the semester but come Winter she said she may head to Port Charles to meet me, she has family here she said."
"What's her name?"
"Well her screen name is LegallyBlonde."
"Another blonde one."
"What can I say, the Jackal has a weakness."
Milo let out a chuckle and smiled at his friend.
Stepping out of the penthouse later he picked up the phone to tell Maxie everything.
"That's good for Spinelli."
"I know, now all we have to deal with is your dad."
"God I wish it would be that easy."
She let out a chuckle.
"So, Maxie what are we doing tonight."
"Catacomb."
"Pick you up at eight, and where that red dress I like."
"It's a date."
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
The End
