Unguarded Heart
Chapter One,Part Two
Maxie watched suspiciously as Leyla hurried out of the room. "What the hell is wrong with her?" She scoffed,icy blue eyes narrowed at the door as she walked over to the bed and sat down.
"The Jackal,does not know what troubles the Lovely Leyla." Spinelli said,shrugging his shoulder and looking at the door,Leyla had exited in concern. He hoped nothing was seriously wrong with her.
Maxie noticed his worried look and felt her heart clench painfully. That surprised her. She couldn't possibly be jealous of Leyla could she?
"Are you okay,Maximista? The Jackal can't help but notice you seem a liittle...upset." Spinelli tilted his head to the side and looked at her with his searching green gaze.
"I'm fine Spinelli. Your the one in the hospital bed,you shouldn't be worrying about me." The blond fashionista scolded,standing up to fix Spinelli's pillows and run her hand through his short hair.
Spinelli caught her wrist in his hand and pulled her back onto the bed. "Fair Leyla told The Jackal that's healthy. I should be able to go home in a few days!" Spinelli said excitedly.
Maxie smiled at Spinelli happily,throwing her arms around his neck with a small squeal. "Spinel! That's great!" She shrieked,pratically sitting on his lap, blushing a bit.
Spinelli winced at the nickname she had called him. Why couldn't she just refer to him as Spin or Spinelli? Spinel sounded so unmasculine. He wouldn't dare tell her that though. He didn't want to hurt her feelings by telling her he didn't like the nickname she had given him. And besides it was the thought that counted.
Maxie pulled away from him,hands resting on his shoulders. "You know what? As soon as you get out of this dreadful hospital,I'm going to stay at the penthouse and help you recover!" She told him,giving him a million dollar smile.
He swallowed nervously and grinned back. How the hell was he supposed to be under the same roof as her 24/7 without telling Maximista how he felt? "You don't need to do that Maximista! I assure you,I'll be fine." Spinelli told her,hands twisting the blankets.
Maxie just looked at him,"Of course I do Spinelli! You are my best friend and you saved my life. It's only fair that I return the favor. You can't change my mind Spinelli. You know how stubborn I am." She said,smirking.
Spinelli just groaned,knowing there was no way out of this.
The door opened again and Leyla walked in with his medical chart. She looked at Maxie and gave her a fake smile before turning to look at Spinelli,not noticing the glare Maxie threw her. "I just looked over your medical chart and Dr.Drake believes that you can get out of here by tomorrow afternoon.'' She told him giving him a flirty smile.
Maxie watched in disgust as the dark haired nurse openly flirted with Spinelli and Spinelli blushed and flirted right back. Maxie had warned Leyla to stay away from Spinelli and yet Leyla certainly wasn't doing so. But in the back of her mind,Maxie wondered why she was behaving so selfishly. Her friend could date whoever he wanted and yet...she didn't want to share him.
