PROMPT #20:
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
The next few days flew by for her. She was still amazed by the twists and turns that had happened in the past few months. She was for one of the first times in her life genuinely happy with the place she was in at the moment. She was even considering possibly re enrolling at PCU for some classes or doing something more productive then working at the boutique. But the thing that shocked her more then the fact that she was daring Spinelli was that she had a pretty decent time with Lulu the other day. Sure Serena was with them and the tow other blondes were comparing notes on Johnny Zacchara and Logan Hayes two guys the elder Jones girl wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Ok sure she slept with Logan but that was the old her, the person she was before Spinelli stole her heart and inspired her to be a better person/ this was where she was at the moment. In the hallway in front of the penthouse he shared with Jason checking her make up in the mirror wondering if he did anything to his unruly mop of hair.
-
He heard the knock and instantly knew it was her. He opened the door and smiled, looking at her in the stunning black dress she had on and blushing a bit inviting her to come in. she nodded and looked at him smiling. His hair was somewhat tamed and he looked hotter in that suit then she remembered, well except for his tie.
She reached over and re-tied his tie smiling.
"Thank You.'
She shrugged.
"It's still mystifies the Jackal that he's got a real date to a real party on Valentines Day a day created for love and."
Maxie rested her well manicured nail on his lip. She wanted to have him right then but realized there would be no fun in having sex and keeping him to herself when she could be at the Metro Court showing him off on her arm.
"You still miss him."
"He killed my sister. He almost killed me and then where would that leave you."
"Miserable and alone."
Maxie smiled.
"Exactly."

Serena was at the bar of the hotel when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and looked up at his face smiling back.
"I really wish you didn't live here. I mean it would have been much more romantic if I could pick you up at your place, get the third degree from you father, be like a normal couple."
He smiled at her before pulling out a box.
"Oh and Happy Valentines Day."
She took the box and pulled out a silver locket shaped as a heart.
"Too much."
Serena shook her head allowing him to place the chain on her neck.
Logan watched from across the room as he spotted his sister with Johnny.
"Go over and say hi."
"Come with me."
Lulu looked at him and rolled her eyes knowing that this was going to be majority awkward going over to her former suitor and her boyfriend's sister together as a couple.
Lulu followed Logan over to the bar and smiled.
"You look nice Johnny."
Johnny turned around to Lulu and smiled back at her.
"As do you."
"So it looks like this party is a snore fest."
It was true even though Milo, Nadine, Spinelli, and Maxie had yet to arrive they could already tell it was going to be bla. The only people there were their parents, and other society folk there to raise money for some cause and to be in the spotlight.
"Let's wait until the others get here." Lulu said looking at Logan and then at Johnny winking, "I know a place that is much cooler."
Johnny could tell right off the bat the place she meant and smiled.
"As much as I would love to be here with you Serena. I kind of like Lulu's suggestion better."
Serena nodded

Maxie and Spinelli were taking their sweet time getting from a car to the hotel as they were fighting off making out with each other. When they finally got to the hotel they spotted Milo and Nadine standing outside. The young hacker could tell the blonde nurse, his friend, looked nervous and he smiled at her.
"Greetings, Nurse Crowell, Milo."
"Hey Mr. Jackal. You look amazing."
Spinelli blushed a bit. He was still getting used to members of the opposite sex checking him out like that...like he was a 'guy'.
"You do too."
Maxie coughed.
"But not as stunning as My Dearest Maxie."
"That's a matter of opinion."
Milo said as he put his arm around Nadine.
"Would it be crazy for me to admit that I'm so nervous about this? I mean the last two parties I've been to."
"Shh." Milo said, "This is a new day and besides you're with me."
He nuzzled her cheek causing her to smile as he led her inside with Maxie and Spinelli following.
-
When they entered Spinelli looked at Maxie.
"Are people staring at me...at us?"
"Their jealous."
She smiled at him and he smiled back. Dating Maxie Jones was definitely giving him a well needed boost of confidence and he was enjoying this new and improved Jackal.
Lulu spotted them and waved excitedly over to them.
--
"Good your all here now let's go."
"Excuse me Lulu."
"It's too stuffy and boring. I...that is we have decided to head out to the old Haunted Star and have a party of our own. I mean my dad has a stash of Booze there and between the four of us girls I'm sure we can smuggle some finger foods in our bags or make a convenience store run.
The new foursome nodded and the eight friends made their way out of the hotel.
--
Once they were at the old casino Lulu found a bottle of champagne from behind the bar and chilled it before pouring herself a glass of some other liquid. Johnny meanwhile made his way to the piano.
"Wow I'm impressed," Serena said smiling
Johnny shrugged telling her how he hadn't played in years but he was glad to be playing again.
"I-if you don't mind."
Nadine smiled and slid next to Johnny on the bench and began to play.
For the rest of the evening the four couples danced, drank, and entertained themselves by messing around on the piano.
"You know this is the second time we all have hung out and it's kind of refreshing." Maxie said smiling.
"I know it is. We should make a pact that no matter what happens and where our lives take us we stay friends."
Spinelli took a seat between his two blonde ones and put one arm around each of them not caring if Logan was jealous which he could tell he wasn't as he was smiling.
"The Jackal likes the idea very much."
Spinelli smiled and stood up heading over to where Johnny and Nadine were still sitting on the piano bench. He whispered something to them and he began to sing. The others couldn't tell if he was drunk and messing around or was being serious but the truth was that the Jackal had a voice. When he was done Maxie leaned in and gave him a kiss before whispering in his ear.
"You never cease to amaze me Spinelli."
He smiled and she cursed the fact that they were not alone or not in a hotel and knew, just knew that she found her prince.
--
By then end of the evening all the friends were sitting around the room coupled up and looking like four couples that were truly in love. A part of them regretted that they couldn't share their love with their family watching but they were with their friends and those were the people that truly mattered.
