Spixie Oneshot! Back to containing song lyrics. As always, Enjoy and Review!

She placed the key in the door and entered her apartment for the last time that evening. Moving to Manhattan had drained all her energy, all she wanted to do was order some takeout and crash. She was searching through the boxes for something more comfortable to put on when her buzzer rang. She ran over and asked who was calling.

"Delivery for a Maxie Jones."

"I'll ring you up," she replied, assuming the movers had forgotten something in their truck. She opened the door to a large bouquet of pink and burnt orange Gerber daisies. She signed for them, thanked the delivery man, set them down on the coffee table and grabbed the card. She smiled when she read what it said.

Maximista,
I hope you thoroughly enjoy these!
I thought they would brighten up your apartment
and make you smile on what I am sure has been a long day

Always,
Spinelli

She picked up the phone ready to call him when her buzzer rang again.

"Delivery for Maxie Jones."

"It's not more flowers, is it?"

"No ma'am, I have an order from Dazzling Dragon for you."

"Dazzling Dragon?"

"You ordered a number 23 and a number 5 didn't you? General Lee's Chicken and Cream Cheese Wontons?"

She was puzzled, but wasn't going to turn down food, "yes, I'll ring you up." She opened the door, purse in hand, "how much do I owe you?"

"It's already been paid for. The person who placed the order paid for it by credit card. It wasn't you? This is apartment 4C Gorden Towers?"

"Yes," she said questioning it all herself, "yes it is."

"Well, I'm just the delivery person. This is where the foods supposed to go, so this is where I'm leaving it."



"All right. Thanks," she laughed carrying the food to the kitchen. She dug for the fortune cookie, she wanted to read what the future had in store for her new life in Manhattan. She broke it, popped one half in her mouth and read what the sliver of paper said.

New life brings new love and true happiness.

She smiled taking a bottle of water and the food to the living room. She again saw the bouquet and picked up her cell phone, "Spinelli."

"Maximista!"

"Thank you so much for the flowers, they're amazing! They were exactly what I needed, maybe Kate won't care if I put them in my new office."

"You are most welcome. I doubt the Executive Fashionista will even know that you have them there. How often is she planning on dropping in on the new offices?"

"I don't know, but she did hand the Manhattan offices over to me so,"

"So if you want flowers in your office, you'll keep flowers in your office."

"Exactly. Oh my gosh, Spinelli, I forgot to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"The craziest thing happened. I was thinking about ordering some takeout, a girl's got to eat right? And then a delivery guy showed up with Chinese, like out of nowhere."

"Out of nowhere you say?"

"It was like magic."

"Really? What was it?"

"General Lee's Chicken and Cream Cheese Wontons."

"Your favorite."

"My favorite," she stated when she probably put two and two together, "Spinelli!"

"I figured you would be hungry."

"You're the best, I love you. I miss you so much already."

"I am far from the best. And I miss and love you too. Now, go, eat. You've got a long day tomorrow."

"You said it. I've got to interview assistants, set up the office," she sighed, "meet with Giselle."

"She's really not that bad."

"I'll take your word for it Damian."

"Are you sassing me?"

"Sassing you?"

"It sounded better in my head."

"It must have."

"Well," he sighed, "enjoy your dinner, get a good night's sleep, and have a great first day as an official Editor for Crimson, and head of its Manhattan offices."

"I will and thanks again."

"No problem, I'd do anything for you."

"Good night, Spinelli. Talk to you soon?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow."

He turned back to his computer screen and the email he was contemplating on sending. He wished he could just say it to her face, but wasn't sure if he could get up the nerve to do it any other way; every time he had tried it never came out right. He clicked the send button hoping that this wouldn't come out all wrong too.

She woke up after a decent night of sleep, breathed a sigh of relief, the big day was finally here. Her first day at the Manhattan offices, her first day of being in charge, the first day of her new life, her first real day as a grown-up. She hopped in the shower and turned herself into the sophisticated women she thought she should be. She grabbed a cup of coffee and made her way to the office. When she arrived she was the first one there, her heart skipped a beat when she what all she was in going to be in charge of. She flipped on her computer and decided to check her email before everyone started showing up. She had a good luck email from Robin. One from Mac, he was worried about her; she'd only been gone for a day. One from Kate telling her she would be there in a week to check up on things, one from Giselle confirming their meeting, and two from Spinelli. The first was one was to wish her luck, even though he was sure she didn't need it. Her jaw dropped when she read the second; first because it was addressed to Maxie, plain and simple, and secondly for its content…

Maxie,

You always said you'd end up alone, never find a man of your own. High and low you searched everywhere but all along the answers been right there. In front of you for all this time was the man you always wanted to find. I still believe one day you will see, that we can't fight it we can't or even deny it; I need every breath you breathe, I still think it's me.(1) I may never fly you to heaven, with a kiss on your lips and I may never break your heart and get to make up for it. I may never see the stars in your eyes from a lover's point of view, or get lost in the days gone by because I'm so wrapped up in you. But if you could love me and only see the possibility that we could be forever, could you trust me? Forever etched in stone, forever and eternity, forever you would never be alone. Forever you and me.(2)

I did not know how else to tell you this; I've tried in so many ways, but it never comes out right. I wanted to tell you before you left, but I did not want to stop you from reaching your dreams. Maximista I just wanted you to know how much I love you, and how I pray to the gods and goddess that watch over us that you could one day look at me the way I look at you; feel for me the way I feel for you. I want you to know that I am so proud of you for doing what it is that you are doing. For achieving your goals and becoming the best you.

Have a glorious day. I hope this does not ruin any part of your first day as an official editor. I in no way want to lose you as a friend, but needed you to know how I felt. Once again I am wishing you luck; and hope to hear from you soon. I love you.

Forever,
Spinelli

She had tears in her eyes when she clicked reply; there was no way she could call him, not right now, not after just reading this. When the box appeared for her to enter a message she simply replied…

Dreams really can come true.

Always and Forever,
Maxie
