Missing Scenes and the In Betweens

Author's Note: This is a relatively simple concept revolving around Mark and Lexie. Starting from episode 5.10 I'm going to write extended scenes, things I wish we would have seen. Each extension of each episode will be one part. Hope you enjoy.

5.10—Talking and Laughing

He collapsed on top of her. Sweating and breathing heavily he rolled over, so he was lying next to her. "Wow…" He whispered breathlessly. He panted for oxygen. "How did you like your first lesson?"

Lexie wiped beads of sweat from her forehead. "Once my hearts stops beating like its going to burst and I can breathe I'll let you know."

Mark laughed. "I'll take that as a good thing."

"How about you?" Lexie asked. "Was it good for you? It wasn't unforgettable was it?"

"Unforgettable? What? Hell no. It was…" Mark paused searching for the right words. "Blind blowlingly, wonderfully, amazingly fantastic." He told her as he started to play with her hair. "Why would you ask a crazy question like that?"

"It's really embarrassing…"

"Come on, you can tell me." Mark encouraged.

"Well, a while back I slept with Alex Karev…"

"Wow…That is embarrassing."

Lexie playfully hit his chest. "Shut up, that's not the embarrassing part."

"Sorry. Go on…"

"Well do you remember those papers we had to fill out…You know the inter-hospital relationship one? Wait—Of course you remember that…You were the cause of it." Lexie laughed, "Anyway. When he filled his out, he forgot to put my name. He forgot he had sex with me."

"Well Karev is kind of an ass."

"It's not like he was very good. You know if I was one of those petty girls who talked shit about the guys they were with I would tell you he is smaller then anyone probably thinks he is and he's a premature ejaculator." She crossed her arms. "He's lucky I'm not petty."

Mark laughed. "He was that bad huh?"

"Kinda, yeah."

"Well I won't be forgetting you anytime soon…" Mark smirked. "At least not until the scratch marks on my back heal."

Lexie blushed, "Sorry about that."

Mark grinned. "It's okay. I like a woman who has passion."

Lexie turned a deeper shade of pink. "I'm sorry…I've um, never really done anything like this before…"

"Really? You have never gone to a guy's hotel, stripped, and asked him to teach you before? Which, by the way, was the sexiest thing I have ever witnessed in my life."

Lexie laughed nervously, "No…Never did anything like that...I just don't know what to do now…Do you want me to leave?" She sat up, holding the covers of her chest.

If Mark was a smart man he would have said yes, "No…." He pulled her back to down to a lying position. "I want you to stay."

"Okay. I'll stay." She turned to face him. "So…"

"So…" He repeated as he ran his fingers through her hair. "I got to hear about what a class act Karev is…What about the others?"

"The others?" Lexie asked.

Mark cleared his throat. "Other guys you've been with…"

"Oh…Well there was my first, Bobby, joiner year, after prom, in the back of his parents van." Lexie laughed. "It was awful…Neither us knew what the hell we were doing…" She trailed off. "There was kind of David Shaffer senior year. Then there Tom freshman year of college. And then Chris and Larry while I was at Harvard."

Mark raised an eyebrow. "Kind of David Shaffer?"

Lexie laughed. "Long story…"

"We have time."

"What about you?" Lexie asked avoiding the conversation. "What about you? What about your other girls?"

Mark smirked. "There was my first, Krista, then there was Calra, Mary, Lisa, Carrie, Olivia, Cindy, Valarie, another Lisa, Jennifer, Kelly, Marie, Ashley, Annie--"

"Okay, I get the point." Lexie interrupted him. "You can stop now."

"Okay…Let's move on…Your childhood."

Lexie shrugged. "What about it?"

"How was it? You have a younger sister right?"

"It was fine. Molly and I are barely a year apart so we were pretty close growing up. My Mom was amazing. She could make the best chocolate chip cookies…"

"And your dad?"

"My dad is my dad. He's a drunk now, just like he was when I was five." She sighed. "Meredith thinks she missed out not having him…But the truth is…Ugh, I'm probably going to sound like an ungrateful bitch when I say this, but she really didn't miss much. Maybe she'd think differently if she knew, really knew what he was like growing up with…You know there was days where Molly and I could not go to school because we just couldn't cover up the bruises that day…"

Mark felt his heart ache for the woman lying next to him. His hand caressed her back. "Lexie…"

"Don't! Don't say anything…I don't even know why I told you that. I've never told anyone that…" She paused. "Please don't tell Meredith."

"Why don't you want her to know? Doesn't she know he's a drunk already?"

"Yeah, she knows he's a drunk. But for all she knows, he became a drunk after my Mom died. And she thinks she would have been better off with him in her life. I guess someone should think highly of him." She sighed. "I really hate talking about this. Do you mind if I change the subject?"

"Fine…But if ever need to talk about it…You can talk to me okay?"

"Okay…" Lexie paused. "Five things you want me to know about you. Go."

"Hmm…I think of Derek as my brother, I hate pie, I love Mexican food, I was prom King, and I can cook."

"You can cook?" Lexie asked. "I don't mean to sound so surprised, but…"

"You are. It's okay. You see I spent a lot of time with Derek and his family growing up, and his mom taught me how to cook" Mark smirked. "Derek knows how to cook as well, but don't tell anyone I told you that. How about your five things?"

"Um…I have a photographic memory, I was prom queen, I hate apples, I graduated in the top five of my class in Harvard, and I had a dog named Oreo growing up."

"You can't use the photographic memory one, I already knew that."

"Fine…I can draw extremely well on an etch a sketch. Like I could be a professional if there was such a thing."

"Come on. No one can draw on an etch a sketch."

"I swear I can. Once I get my hands on one, I'll prove it to you."

"You better. I'll hold you to that promise."

"Okay. As soon as I get the time to find an etch a sketch I will show you how totally awesome I am."

"I already know how awesome you are…"

"Is there anything else you want to know about me?"

"Why did you come here tonight?" Mark asked.

"Anything but that."

"Seriously, why did you come here tonight?"

"I'm not sure actually…It's just after you restored Mrs. Paterson's voice I just…I just had to know you…"

"You did know me…"

Lexie placed her hand on his heart, "Not like this."

"That still really doesn't explain why."

Lexie chewed on her bottom lip. "I like you Dr. Sloan."

Mark kissed Lexie's naked shoulder. "You know, you've seen me naked, I think you can call me Mark…You know when we are not in a professional setting…"

Lexie smiled. "Okay, I like you Mark. And someone once told me if you like someone you should tell them, life is too short to live anyway."

Mark wrapped his arms around her. "Whoever told you that sounds incredibly smart, and sexy I might add."

"Mmm…" Lexie snuggled slightly closer. "You have no idea." She paused. "Now I have a question for you."

"Shoot."

"When I first started to take my clothes off, why did you tell me to stop?"

Mark sighed. "I made a promise to Derek."

Lexie furred her brows in confusion. "What kind of promise?"

"That I would not be with you…Or in his words 'little Sloan will not enter Little Grey."

Lexie laughed. "There is nothing little about Sloan."

"Hey, that's what I said."

"He actually said that? Why?" Lexie asked.

"Meredith asked him to."

Lexie was clearly confused. "Why?"

"I guess she was trying to be your big sister. She thinks I would hurt you."

"Would you? Hurt me, I mean?" Lexie asked.

Mark shrugged. "I usually do hurt women. Not that I would want to hurt you…But given my history…"

"People change." Lexie pointed out.

"Maybe…" Mark sighed. "Damn it."

"What? What is it?"

"Lexie…I'm so sorry…This should not have happened." Mark rubbed his temples. "I promised I wouldn't do this."

"It's okay…No one has to know." Lexie whispered.

"I'm sorry…"

"Stop saying that. I'm the one who came here. I'm the one who took off my clothes. I seduced you."

"I still could have said no." Mark said.

"I'm glad you didn't." Lexie smiled at him. "Look tomorrow when we go to work we'll pretend this never happened, okay?"

"Okay…"

"Friends?" Lexie asked.

"Friends." Mark nodded.

"I guess I should get going then…" Lexie sat up, ready to leave.

"No…" Mark pulled her back down. "We still have several hours before we have to pretend this never happened…So stay."

"Okay, I'll stay." She said for the second time that night.

Mark pulled her close to him, so her heard was resting on his chest while both his arms were wrapped around her. "Good."
