Later Johnny was at his apartment making sure everything was set for the trip. He called the hotel and ordered a two bedroom suite that was sure to impress. He was still in shock that Maya decided to go with him on this trip. she didn't seem the type to be heading to hotels with dangerous men. He was hoping that this meant that she was somewhat interested in him.
As he stood on his balcony and stared at the night sky he wondered if Maya was looking at these same stars right now. Maya had been popping up in his thoughts more and more lately. He thought about how gorgeous she was inside and out. She seemed so perfect. She was kind and caring and he knew she would be a great doctor. And she actually seemed to care about his well being. Ethan had been lucky enough to have a chance with her but he blew it. Johnny had listened to her sob story about her ex boyfriend. She had a thing for bad boys but she didn't want to get hurt again. Johnny knew he was her type but as far as the not hurting her thing he was unsure. His life was risky and dark, that's just how it was. That's how it would always be. He had scars from being shot, a childhood he wanted to repress, and a longing for a mother.
That's what attracted him to Olivia; she was motherly, something he craved. He wasn't sure Maya or any suitable woman for that matter would be able to handle his crazy lifestyle. He longed for a muse, a distraction, a woman who could take his mind away from his crazy life.
Maya was at the mansion with Monica packing for her trip. Monica saw her packing a new swimsuit with an expensive price tag. "Are you really spending the whole weekend with Johnny Zacharra" Monica asked.
"Yes I am. It's a mini vacation. I get to gamble in the Bahamas. It's good fun."Maya told her. "Is that all it is?" Monica asked. "What are you asking? I just want to relax and have a good time. I need a break from Port Charles."Maya said. "I know how you feel. I could use a vacation from Port Charles as well. And going away with a hot man is even better. But Johnny is dangerous."Monica warned.
"I know but I'm not worried. He invited me to gamble and look pretty. That's what I plan to do."Maya said.
Monica placed a few condoms in her hand. Maya felt her cheeks heating up. "Pack these just in case."Monica said. "Oh and try and stay away from anyone too shady looking."All Maya could manage to say was "Fine." She took the condoms and packed them in her bag. How embarrassing. The only thing that could make this worse was a lecture from Edward which she would no doubt get. Her Great Grandfather was overprotective. He was worse than her father had ever been. She knew it was only because he loved her and wanted the best for her but it didn't stop her from wanting to break free.
