[Day 2]

Jo climbed up the dark stairways to their bedroom, tired of this day. She had left Joe's after she had finished her beer, not even bothering about telling Alex she was making her way home. She didn't feel like going over and making a fool of herself even more, having already experienced what that felt like the night before. She felt all kinds of stuff about Meredith Grey kicking her out of her own bed in the middle of the night and more than that, Alex letting her. Mostly, she was pissed. But also, she felt humiliated, having been caught naked in bed by her boss, but the thing was, she was irritated about feeling that way, because really, it had been her own bed, in Alex's house, in the middle of the night, with locked doors. Why in the world would she feel humiliated? So, yeah, it came down to the fact that she was pissed. She entered their dark bedroom and sighed, switching on the lamp on the nightstand and dumped all her stuff in the corner, walking over towards the bathroom. She took the shopping bag she had gathered at lunch today and walked into the bathroom, getting herself undressed and switched on the shower. When she turned around to close the bathroom door, she was surprised to see Alex walk towards her with a smile on his face, most probably because she was showing herself off in nothing but underwear.

"I see you were waiting for me," he winked at her, walking up and trying to catch her waist. Jo put out a hand to his chest and stopped him.

"Not really, no," she replied, unimpressed with his advances. Alex gave a confused look.

"Why didn't you come tell me you were leaving? I'd have left with you," he pointed out, trying to close the gap between them, but Jo inched her head back to prevent him from kissing her.

"Oh, I thought you had more important issues on your mind," she just gave him, vocalizing her disapproval with her eyebrows raised, her face looking dismissive, almost bored. Alex rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"She'll be fine, Shepherd resigned from his post in DC tonight," Alex informed her. Jo's eyes widened.

"Well, good for her. I'm gonna have a shower now," she responded pointedly, pushing him out of the bathroom. Alex caught her wrists and pulled her closer.

"What a coincidence… I just had the very same thought," he tried to sound seductive.

"Well, too bad. I call dibs," Jo told him with a superior smile on her face, trying to close the door in front of him.

"Oh, I think you are not catching the drift," he smiled, preventing her closing the door on him with his whole body.

"Oh, trust me, the drift is very obvious. But you're not catching mine it seems," she opened up the door once more and stepped in front of him, teasing him with her body and running her fingers down his torso. "Kicking me out of bed in the middle of the night?" she asked him, making him frown. "Yeah, not such a great idea. You will need to be punished. I'm kicking you out of the bathroom," she concluded, closing and locking the bathroom door on a completely shell-shocked looking Alex. Jo chuckled maliciously when she heard Alex groan outside the door, stepping inside the shower.

"How do I have to pay for Mer kicking you out of bed?!"

Jo took her time to relax and clean herself up in the shower before getting out, drying herself and her hair, putting on lotion and unpacking the shopping bag. When she was done, readying herself for bed, she unlocked the door and walked out of the bathroom. Alex was lying on the bed, reading something on his phone. Jo walked over to her nightstand and looked at her phone herself.

"What the hell are you wearing?" she heard him say after a minute, looking up to see a big question mark hover over Alex's head. Jo adopted a gleeful look on her face and smiled.

"Well," she said, looking down at the God awful pajama set she had bought that day that she was not sure even 80 year olds would buy. By the look on the sales person's face, and the look Alex was giving her momentarily, she was right with that assumption. "I thought I might cover myself up a bit more decently during the night within the four walls that I like to call home - but now seem to have become quite public. I really wanna prevent another awkward, in the middle of the night, situation, so yeah, that's what you'll have to deal with," she answered him with a sweet smile, pulling back the covers and getting into bed. Alex's face was priceless. He looked completely taken aback, not having expected this while she could also depict a look of irritation on his face. Jo didn't care. He could react annoyed with her all he wanted, she was not gonna let this go so easily. When she turned over to reach for her phone again, she heard him sigh.

"Come on, you're not seriously gonna wear this from now on. It's… hideous," he told her after a short pause of trying to grasp an appropriate word.

"Well, that's what you get if you cross the line and invade my privacy," she told him unbothered by his reaction. After a short moment of silence, Alex got up and walked into the bathroom, getting ready for bed himself. When he climbed into bed with her, she was still reading on her phone. He inched up towards her, sneaking his hand underneath her dreadful pajama top and kissed her neck. Jo's hand instantly snapped to stop him from going there and felt him sigh against her skin.

"I told her off for what happened last night. There's no way she's gonna repeat that, I promise," he murmured into her neck.

"Well, she better won't. I'm still not gonna give her anything to talk about if she does," Jo said, putting her phone down on the night stand and switched off the lamp. They lay in the dark for a while, both their eyes wide open, both silent. Jo could feel his body against hers, his thumb running back and forth on her exposed abdomen and sighed. He wasn't gonna budge, that was for sure. She sighed, slowly turning around within his embrace, matching eyes with him. Their bodies were pressed against each other and even through her ugly piece of clothing she could feel every muscle of Alex's spectacular body flush against hers. Alex smiled slightly at her before swooping down and kissing her, softly, cautiously. However, Jo already had something very else in mind, desire for that man overwhelming her. She deepened the kiss, Alex instantly reciprocated and rolled onto his back so she was lying on top of him. Their foreplay was long and slow, they enjoyed every soft touch and lingering look, feathery light kisses. The way Alex looked at Jo when she stared down at his face, when he held her head in his palm, tucking away her curls, it melted her every time, no matter how pissed she had been before. Jo bent down to kiss him again, feeling how Alex sneaked his hand underneath her sleeping top again, when everything inside her started screaming at the noise of their bedroom door banging open.

"Oh," she heard Meredith Grey's voice slur out slowly. "I didn't mean to interrupt," she said, giggling slightly. Jo sat up on top of Alex, her face speaking volumes. Do not lose control over your anger. She chided herself. She looked down at Alex's face which looked just as pissed.

"Get out, Mer," he told her, without even taking his eyes off Jo.

"Iiii'm wasted," his friend told him, already rounding the bed, making Jo widen her eyes. "Trust me, I wouldn't start a fight with me right now," she looked at them with a completely crazy smile .The woman was trashed. Jo stayed silent when she unmounted Alex and got out on his side of the bed, ignoring Alex's efforts to make her stay. She snatched the blankets away from Meredith who had already gotten into bed with Alex and was trying to cover herself up and took them to get out of the room. Last thing she heard was Meredith whisper something with a ridiculous giggle that made her fume even harder. "What in the world is she wearing?"

Her head was steaming when she laid herself on the couch and covered herself up from head to toe, not interested in any more interactions that night.
