PROMPT #10
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her
Serena arrived at the penthouse and was immediately greeted by Spinelli.
"Greetings Sweet Serena."
"Hey, so are you feeling any better."
"A bit thanks."
She placed the pizza box and a case of orange soda on the counter and smiled at him.
"So I didn't know what kind of pizza you liked but you can never go wrong with cheese...then there is the whole DVD situation I mean you're a guy and typically guys like all that macho action crap but then you don't seem like a normal guy and I'm rambling. I'm so sorry. I tend to ramble when I get nervous."
"Why are you nervous?"
Serena shrugged.
"I don't know."
She laughed.
"So what did you rent?"
"A little bit of everything."
"You wouldn't happen to have Casablanca or Moulin Rouge would you. Those were two of wise Georgie's favorite films. She told me that I had to see them."
Serena smiled and placed her hand in the bag.
"Two of mine too. What do you want to see first?"

Meanwhile across town Lulu was sitting on Logan's couch.
"Logan we have to talk."
"Words every guy loves to hear."
"I know I haven't been the best girlfriend lately. I mean sometimes I think the only reason we tried was to get my mother put back into my brother's custody."
"So you feel like your contractually bond to be with me."
"Like I said sometimes. But not now. Now I want to talk, totally honestly."
Logan nodded.
"Ok."
"Lucky thinks you are the killer and has allot of evidence that points to you."
"It wasn't me. Yes I know I've had violent tendencies to woman before but I would never let it get out of hand like that and kill someone. I mean Georgie of all people. I never knew her but from what I saw she was genuine."
Lulu nodded feeling a pang of guilt for everything that happened with Dillon back in the summer of 2006.
"I believe you. I just hope you can believe in me."
"About."
"About the fact that I've kind of sort of have been seeing Johnny Zacchara."
"Seeing as in."
"We met a few times. Talked and well..."
"Well what."
"I'm confused. I mean I thought I liked you but..."
Logan nodded.
"I don't want us to break up because of Johnny. I think it's better to sever ties and just be friends for now until things blow over with the Killer and Johnny."
"So if I started to see someone you wouldn't be mad."
"Just about as mad as you'd be if I decided to pursue Johnny."
Logan put his arm gently around her and smiled knowing this separation wouldn't last long.

The next morning came as Cooper entered the police station. Mac was in a meeting as the DNA test from Georgie's autopsy was being brought in. Cooper intercepted it and looked it over. It stated that Johnny Zacchara and the other two suspects showed no match of DNA but he did. He needed to hide this so that no one could see it and accuse him. Then he decided to make a plan, a plan that might hurt Maxie but in the end would set her free.

Spinelli entered the coffee house to see Milo standing at his post.
"Hey you look happy."
"Remember when I said that Lulu was the first girl I loved and I was worried that I'd never love again."
Spinelli nodded thinking back to a time he felt that way. A time before Georgie, Serena, and Maxie entered his life.
"Well Nadine and I."
"Nadine and you."
"Well yesterday she comes in her kissing me on impulse. Rambling about seizing the day and how life is short."
"And."
"And we have plans to go out sometime. Though with her schedule at the hospital and my well complicated life god knows when that will happen."
"Do you love her?"
"I think so man."
"Then you'll think of something."
Milo smiled at his friend.
"Since when did the Jackal become the love doctor of Port Charles?"
"The Jackal is far from the Love Doctor. Just a hopeless romantic who in the ashes of loosing a beautiful and wise young woman whom he meant the world too has found two fair ones that he can't keep his mind off of."
"Two Spinelli."
"Well there is the sweet Serena as you know. I mean I think we had our first date last night."
"Think."
"Well we began to talk and then she went on to say I'll be over in an hour with dinner and DVD's."
"And."
"And she came over and we had pizza and talked."
"About."
"The movies, Georgie."
"You do not talk to another girl about your ex."
"Georgie was never mine so she isn't my ex."
"Whatever. The point is Spinelli how can Serena know you're interested in her if you are pouring your heart out about another girl, and a dead one at that."
Spinelli gave Milo a cold stare.
"Sorry."
Spinelli nodded. He understood what Milo meant.
"And the other woman."
"Maxie. I mean I in no way like her the way I like Serena. She's just different you know. We both share the mutual loss of Georgie and I the Jackal feel obligated to protect her form having the same deadly fate as her sweet and loyal little sister."
Milo nodded before being called into the office by his brother Max.

Maxie was pacing the floor of her living room. While she was asleep her mother snuck out of town again. At least this time she left a note. She thought of dropping by the station to see if Mac knew about it but didn't want to encounter Coop. instead she pulled out her cell phone and looked at her speed dial. Her eyes fell on three numbers that just months ago she would laugh if someone had told her they would be there.
LOGAN HAYES
LULU SPENCER
DAMIAN SPINELLI
She scrolled down to the third name and pressed call. After listing to his voice mail prompting her to leave her message at the beep she spoke.
'Spinelli it's me Maxie. Thanks but I just can't I think I'm going to move in with Sam for the time being. Meet me at her place tonight so we can talk face to face without the fear of being listened in on.'
She hung up and hoped that he got the message and that with the Jackal's help justice could be served
