Johnny awoke at his Penthouse the next morning with a hangover. He remembered punching Ethan's lights out yesterday and acting really cocky about his relationship with Maya, he also remembered Edward bringing up his mother and insinuating that his mother's fate would end up being Maya's fate. He wasn't his father. He wasn't obsessive and demented. Johnny just craved love and affection from a good woman. The time he'd spent with Maya in the Bahamas for the most part had been care free. He realized he and Maya were polar opposites. She was the sweet doctor who would probably end up in the big house with the three kids and the big backyard. All the kids attending private school alter to become doctors and lawyers. While he was the guy who would probably end up having several children by several different women and most of his kids would barely finish high school. That's just how things would end up there was no use trying to change destiny.
He heard a hard knocking at the door. That banging was hurting his already throbbing head. He eased off the couch to answer the door. Who could it possibly be? He needed to hire a doorman stat, especially since he had plans to up security. He hoped it wasn't the lady from the apartment directly underneath his. He decided the old maid must have some kind of crush on him. The garrulous old woman was always make one excuse after the other to waltz up to his apartment. He really wasn't in the mood to hear the scandal of the week.
He looked through the eyehole before opening the door. The woman standing before him was definitely no old maid. She was ravishing with her dark hair and dark eyes and her tight leather jacket and tight low-rise jeans. "Heard you were back in town. Had to see it for myself though." The woman said. "Yeah, I'm back in town. What do you want?" he asked. "I heard you've been a very naughty boy. Punching Ethan Lovett in the face and giving him that monstrous shiner." She said ignoring his question.
"He deserved it. Gangling punk. Started the fight and I ended it." Johnny said. He sat down on the couch. "So I take it that means he won't be doing any jobs for you anytime soon." She inquired. "Not unless he can accept the fact that Maya is mine now." Johnny said. "Maya, as in the pretty doctor who's related to the Quartermaines?" she asked. "That's the one, Lena." Johnny responded. "So Ethan is a free man now?" she asked. "He isn't even your type. Not enough dollar signs attached to him. But yeah he's been free. Maya dumped his as s for being so childish. He's like an overgrown kid."Johnny said.
"Yeah but I like the accent. When did you and Ethan start having problems?" Lena asked. "For a month or so now. He loves putting that bratty little Kristina first, manages to bring her up in every conversation, and entertains her crush. He doesn't know how to treat a lady well at all. He had Maya and all he did was blab about how good the sex was and beg her for more like a horny puppy. Didn't take her out on a nice date. Didn't sit down and actually listen to her." Johnny said. "And suddenly you're a romance expert? What about the way you obsessed over Sonny while with Olivia? You put your vendetta before your woman." She said.
He stood up and grabbed her by the arm. "I think it's time you leave. I don't need some gold digger trying to give me relationship advice. Leave me to sober up in peace." He said opening the door. Maya was standing on the other side of the door.
"Johnny, what's going?" Maya asked. "I was just kicking out an unwelcome visit her said. What are you doing here?" he asked her. Why would she come here without calling first? "I was worried about you." She said walking into the apartment. He shut the door behind her.
"I heard you went to that no name pub and started drinking. I went to Kelly's this morning and the big gossip is about you punching Ethan and giving him a big black eye." She told him. "well he swung at me first." Johnny reasoned. "I ran into him. He said you were bragging about us being together. Is that true?" She asked wanting an honest answer. 'Maybe I did just a little." Johnny said. "As far as we know we've never slept together. Why would you make stuff up about me saying that you are so much better in bed than Ethan?" she asked. "Cuz I was mad. So I had a bit to drink and I told him how great we were when we were together. We are great together. I know you felt the sexual chemistry when we took that sensual bath together." He said.
"Yeah we definitely have some untapped chemistry. But I don't need another man bragging about my sex life all over town. I'm embracing my sexuality and I'm comfortable in my body. But that doesn't mean I want everybody up in my business." She said. "Fine. The next time I'm mad I'll keep my big mouth shut and I'll lay off the booze." Johnny said. He laid back down on the couch.
"Good. Now I brought you some hangover tea." She said. "Hangover tea?" he asked unsure. "This stuff really works I swear." She told him. "Do you have a pot so I can brew some?" she asked. "Believe or not I actually have a kettle. My private doctor recommended I buy one. Comes in handy more often than you think." He told her. "I believe that." She said as she went to his kitchen and pulled it out of the cabinet. She started filling it up with water.
"You know I think I'm going to like having a doctor girlfriend. You can nurture me back to health whenever I'm feeling down." He said. "Don't get too used to it." She told him as she put the pot on the fire. "Hey, Maya. Do you believe in fate?" Johnny asked. "You mean like everything happens for a reason?" Maya asked. "Yeah, like our relationships never worked out because you and I are supposed to be together." He said. "Well I don't know exactly how our relationship will pan out, but yes I do believe we are together for a reason." She said smiling.
