I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
Alex thinks back to that moment in the nursery just hours ago when he was almost in a heat of the moment kiss with Addison. He knew deep down that it would never work between them but he couln't control the feelings he had for her. Being Mark's personal work slave made him realize how much he really did miss being on the gyne-squad with Addison.
Alex made he way to Joe's after his shift was over. He was hopeing that it would just be him and Joe. He needed a heart to heart and everyone knew Joe was the go-to-guy. Afterall, he is a bartender!
When Alex entered the bar he was surprised to find only one other person there. Someone Alex didn't know and had never seen.
Alex took off his jacket and took a seat at the bar two seats down from where the mysterious woman was sitting.
"The usual?" Joe asked
Alex nodded not taking his eyes off the woman.
"Soo… any girlfriends yet?" Joe asked Alex
I don't (don't know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
Alex mumbled something that wasn't understandable. Joe decided not to bother Alex and finished making his drink.
"Thanks." Alex said quietly as Joe gave him his drink.
Alex was thinking back to the first day he was put on the Gyne-squad. Addison obviously wasn't in a good mood that day and he was just pissed off to be working with babies and not other, more exciting, patients. But now, he would rather be working with Addison and the babies. He wasn't exactly sure why. Was it because he got more respect? Because the majority of his patients were women? Or was it because he was working with Addison? He could come up with a million reasons in his head why he would rather be doing plastics with Mark Sloan. But a million more why he shouldn't.
I'll wait (I'll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Alex was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't notice that the woman sitting two seats down from him was staring at him.
"He's really down about something isn't he?" the woman asked Joe
"You have no idea" Joe said looking at him with a worried look on his face.
The song Back of You Car by Ryan Starr came on. The woman got up and walked over to Alex. He turned around a looked at her with a solomn look.
"Dance with me." The woman said
Pick us up off the floor
"I don't dance." Alex said plainly "and I don't know you."
"My name is Taylor. I'm a surgical resident at Mercy West. Transferring to Seattle Grace tomorrow. I'm 27 years old and I'm from New York." The woman said
Alex gave her a blank look.
"Now you know me." She said and reached out her hand.
Alex smile and stood up taking her hand and they danced.
While they were dancing they were silent. Alex had a good feeling about this girl. He had never met anyone who was as bold as Taylor was. He was really attracted to her boldness. 'Maybe I'll actually have a chance with this girl.' He thought.
What did you possibly expect under this condition so
The song ended and they stopped dancing. They locked eyes for a split second then Taylor kissed him on the cheek and darted out the door.
Alex stood on the dancefloor in shock. 'What did I do wrong?' he thought. 'Did my hand get too close to her ass? Do I smell bad? Am I a bad dancer?' Alex was so confused as to why she left so quickly.
He made his way over to the bar and sat down looking upset with himself. "What did I do wrong?" he asked Joe.
"Didn't look like you did anything wrong to me." Joe said sympathetically.
"What am I supposed to do now? I was going to ask her out." Alex said looking down.
"She's been in here almost every night. Gets here about 7." Joe said
Alex looked up at him and smiled. He slammed some money down on the counter and stood up.
"I'll see you later." Alex said as he left the bar left the bar.
Alex came back in a few minutes later. Joe gave him a funny look as he entered.
"Didn't she say she was starting at Seattle Grace tomorrow?" Alex asked
"Uhh… yes." Joe said sounding startled
Alex smiled bigger then Joe had ever seen him smile and ran out the door.
Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of Dark blue (dark blue)
Alex got to work early the next morning and was ready before anyone else got there. He was hopeing Taylor was one of those people who came to work early on their first day to make a good impression. Sure enough, Taylor was the first person to walk in the change room after Alex.
"Good morning!" Alex said cheerfully.
"Good morning." Taylor replied awkwardly.
Alex just sat there and smiled at her while she organized her locker.
"Can I help you?" she asked
"Yeah actually…" Alex said standing up "I'm Alex, from the bar last night. I was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner after our shift."
Taylor didn't answer. Alex was starting to get impatient.
"Okay. Seriously, what did I do wrong?" Alex asked.
Taylor looked at him and gave him an awkward smile. "I have to go talk to the chief." She said leaving the room.
Alex was in shock. Such a handsom guy like him was never turned down by such a beautiful girl like her. Never in his life.
Alex sat down and hid his head in his hands.
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
Although he had started his day off to a good start, by the time rounds had started Alex was miserable. And to make things worse, Taylor was assigned to Bailey.
"Dr.Bailey, this is Dr. Taylor Walsh." The Chief said "She will be your new intern."
"Welcome Dr. Walsh." Bailey said nodding. "We are just starting rounds if you would like to join us."
"Gladly" Taylor said as they started down the hall.
Great, Alex was thinking to himself. Next thing you know the nazi will be leaving her with me to show her how it's down around here.
"Karev" Bailey said as they entered their first room.
"What?" Alex said sounding irritated.
"Present, but not with that tone." Bailey responded.
Alex let out a big sigh and made his way to the front of the group.
"Is there something bothering you?" Bailey asked
"Not at all." Alex said sarcastically while glaring at Taylor.
Bailey looked back and forth between them as if she suspected something. "Well then. Looks like you're going to be showing Dr. Walsh how we do the discharges around here."
They both sighed.
"Well go on." Bailey said pointing to the door "You know what to do Karev."
I said the world could be burning down Dark blue (dark blue)
Alex avoided talking to Taylor as much as he could throughout the day. She was a great talker with the patients, but when it came to just her and Alex, she was pretty shy. Why was she so shy now when she wasn't at the bar? 'Women are confusing' Alex thought to himself.
While Alex and Taylor were having lunch, although they were sitting together, they we totally silent towards eachother. George was the one to break the silence.
"Dr.Walsh, I'm Dr. O'Malley." George said "How do you enjoy spending the day with evil spawn?"
Taylor laughed awkwardly
"Hi Dr. O'Malley." Taylor said "I think I'll go talk to Dr. Bailey about something now. Bye"
Taylor got up and left. Alex gave George a look that he had never seen before. Almost like Alex was thankful George was there.
Alex sighed in relief.
"Was that a sigh of relief? Are you happy I broke your little 'date'" George said using the air quotations.
Alex scoffed. "Don't get too cocky about it Bambi" Alex said as he got up and walked away.
