Welcome to my very first story on this site! I would love to hear your thoughts on it and whether or not to continue it :)

Please don't take my work & copy it elsewhere, as this is all my original work/ideas although I do not own Grey's Anatomy or any of the characters involved in that show. With that said, enjoy!

~Derek

Derek was entranced. By the curve of her smile and the way her face lit up when she knew an answer. She didn't yell it out like the other interns. Instead, she used her knowledge as a form of self validation. The interns didn't rule her out. They knew she was capable of just as much as they were, if not more. She was just so, so beautiful.

"Dr. Shepherd?" Derek heard a male voice say. He looked over to see his resident for the day, Alex Karev. "So a craniotomy would be the best approach correct?" He repeated himself. Derek nodded, quickly submerging himself back into the patient in front of him. "That's right, Mrs. Ross. But don't you worry, I've done this about a million times before" Derek said, shooting her a smile that was said to melt hearts.

Karev had hand selected some interns for Derek, including the one Derek had his eye on. Her name was Angelina, or Lina for short. She was stunning, and Derek was always thinking he was hallucinating when he looked up at saw her across the room in her blue scrubs. More than anything, he wanted to make his move. However, not only was she an intern and he her attending, but Derek was also married. Not emotionally, but legally and technically. Although he was currently hating every second of it.

~Lina

Lina looked down at the floor, blushing at Jackson's sweet remarks. He was being very sweet to her, and she couldn't help but question why. After all, she was only an intern and he was an attending. People seemed to fear the attendings, but Lina didn't. They were nice when they could be, yet strict when they had to be. It was all a part of the job.

Lina carried a stack of charts, heading towards the nurses' station. She was in a good mood today. She was working with McDreamy after all. "How is it possible to be so gorgeous and such an asshole at the same time?" Lina's best friend Jo Wilson asked as she stepped up to the nurses' station as well. Lina smiled, already knowing who she was talking about. "Jo, we've been here three days. He probably just hasn't noticed you yet." Stephanie, a fellow intern, chimed in. "Speaking of being noticed," Jo muttered. Lina looked up to see McDreamy himself looking over at her as he spoke to his wife. "I think he has a thing for my little Lina." Jo said, looking over at Lina and pinching her cheek playfully. Lina stepped back and laughed. "He's married Jo." she protested. "Since when did marriage stop a man?" Stephanie said, only half joking.

~Derek

For some reason, seeing Lina talking to Jackson made him upset. He was, although he wouldn't admit it, jealous. Jackson was obviously showing interest as well, which agitated Derek. He knew that his desire for her was genuine, and she could go so much further with him than she ever could with Jackson. He watched her walk off. She was smiling happily, a feature she always showed off. He hoped the hospital wouldn't break her spirit. He loved her smile. If only he could just get rid of Addison. "So, I was just wondering you know if we're still married? Because I haven't seen you in almost a week." 'Speak of the devil and she shall appear,' Derek cursed mentally. "It's not the first time I've heard that. Are you sure you don't want to screw Mark instead? Because it wouldn't be the first time I hear that either" Derek demanded. Addison rolled her eyes. "I thought we were past that. I thought we were going to work on us" she said, searching his eyes. He shook his head and sighed. "Whatever Addison" Derek said. He was so finished with Addison, that he didn't even have it in him to try to make amends, no matter how much she pushed him.

~Addison

It was no secret that Derek was interested in the new little intern. Addison was pissed that he wouldn't look twice at her, but he seemed mesmerized by this woman he hardly knew. Of course, she was pretty and she was young. Both were things that Addison had to give her credit for, but it didn't make her any more fond of the girl. The way Derek looked at her, it was the way her first looked at her. Back when they first started dating.

Addison knew that Derek had gone as far as to ask Richard about the girl, Lina her name was. Addison only knew this because she'd inquired as well. The girl had gone to Notre Dame initially and then completed Med School at a small school in Southern California. She'd been accepted into the residency program due in part to her outstanding grades and glowing recommendations. She had an older brother and both of her parents were still alive and married, however Lina had filed domestic abuse charges against her father when she'd left the family home for Notre Dame. Addison had her life story down, and she felt strange about that. It seemed to her that the girl was a ball of sunshine and there was no way Addison's personality could compare. She was more snarky and her mind was much darker. Lina was just somehow happy all the time. Or so she seemed to be.

All Addison knew for sure was that she felt like she was going to lose Derek for good and the thought terrified her.
