This is a sequel to the "All I need" one shot. :)
"Torres!" Mark yelled as he saw Callie step out of the elevator.
"Mark…" she said raising an eyebrow. "Did you yell?"
"Yep." Mark said walking closer to her. "You're a woman."
"Excuse me?" Callie raised the other eyebrow too with a confused look on her face.
"You are a woman, Callie." He nodded.
"Yeah..Last time that I checked I was a woman." She was trying so hard to not laugh.
"I need a favor."
"Shoot." Now she was curious too.
"Well you know, you're a woman and I need this favor. You know for Lexie. I need a favor for Lexie, I mean for me and Lexie and…"
"Mark you're babbling like her…" Now she laughed. "Okay Mark. Take a breath. How can I help you?"
"I can't live anymore at the Archfield."
"So…"
"So I need help to find an apartment. A beautiful apartment."
"Are you going to ask her if she wants to live with you?"
"Yeah, something like that. Yesterday we talked and I said something…"
"Did you say that you love her?" she cut him off.
"Nope." He confessed. "I told that she's all I need."
"Mark Sloan this was so sweet."
"I'm not sweet." He made a face to her.
"Nope, absolutely not."
"Callie…" He growled.
"Okay Mark. When you want to go to see the apartment?"
"When you get off from work?"
"Around six." She nodded.
"Well, page me when you're ready. I will be in my office."
"And your girlfriend?"
"She's on call tonight." He smiled.
"Good morning Little Grey." He said as he saw Lexie open her eyes.
"Mmhh" she murmured as she gave him a sweet kiss on his lips.
"Are you tired yet?"
"A little." She whispered kissing him again.
"Poor girl." He grinned.
"It's your fault." She said yawning.
"I'm proud of it!"
"You have any right to be proud!" She laughed.
"You can sleep tonight. I promise that I let you sleep" He nodded still smiling and then he gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"I can't. I'm on call tonight."
"Oh. If you want I can stay with you at the hospital."
"It's okay. You need some sleep too."
"Are you sure sweetheart?" He asked her while an idea crossed his mind.
"Yep." She nodded and after another kiss she stood up from the bed and go to the bathroom. He watched her with a smile, his eyes were warm.
"I need another thing Callie.." he whispered as two nurses walked near them.
"Tell me." She encouraged him to go on.
"I need a ring too."
Callie's mouth fell open.
"Hey Lex." Lexie looked up from her charts and saw Meredith in front of her.
"Meredith."
"I noticed that you didn't come home in these days."
"Yeah. I was with Mark." Lexie explained to her sister.
Like you missing me. Lexie sadly thought.
"Do you like to live in an hotel?"
"I like to live where I'm welcome, Meredith."
"Come on Lexie, you're exaggerating."
"Unbelievable." Lexie grabbed her chart and walked away leaving Meredith with a confused look on her face.
Once arrived at Mark's empty office, Lexie lay down on his couch and closed her eyes trying not to think to Meredith without any success. After a few minutes the door opened. Lexie opened her eyes and saw Mark with a preoccupied look on his face.
"Hey, Lex. Are you okay?" he asked her kneeling in front of her and stroking her hair.
"Meredith." She say knowing that Mark will understand. He nodded.
"I have something for you, sweetheart." He said with a beautiful sweet smile as he took from his pocket a mini chocolate bar.
"Thank you, Mark." She kissed him with enthusiasm and love. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Her smile became more and more bigger. "That's why I love you so much!" She said without realizing what she had just confessed. Mark felt his body and his heart burning at her words. He cup her face with his hands and gave her an intoxicated and full of passion kiss.
"I love you too, sweetheart." He whispered on her lips before kiss her one more time. Lexie froze.
"Did I just say…?"
"You did, sweetheart." He rested his forehead on hers.
"I really love you, Mark." She whispered as she kissed him again. "So much."
"I know."
"You know." She smiled caressing his cheek. He enjoyed her on the couch, his arm around her waist.
"Do you want to sleep a little, Lex?" he asked worried, she looked so tired.
"Only if you stay here with me."
"I'll stay here. My shift ends at 5." He explained.
"Page me before you go home."
"I will." He promised. "Now sleep, you can eat this later." He said as he took the mini chocolate bar from her hands and laid it on the table near the couch. She closed her eyes after gave him a sweet kiss on the tip of his nose.
