Secrets

Author's note: Takes place after 5.14 but Lexie does not give Mark an ultimatum about going public with their relationship. And as a side note I do not know any medical terms at all, and in the off chance I end up throwing a few in here and there please forgive me if they are not correct.

Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's Anatomy in any way shape or form.

P.S. This is my first Grey's fan fiction, so please be nice.

Secrets: Prologue

The seed had been planted.

In fact the seed did what most seeds do; it grew. Into what Mark Sloan was not exactly sure. He figured it was probably some kind of metaphoric relationship flower. He did know one thing. He was in a complete state of bliss. He loved nearly every minute of the past six weeks, the exception being the two weeks of being out of commission. But even that had been great in it own way.

Mark Sloan never knew just how great the non sex part of a relationship could be. He had dated many women, well, slept with many women in the past but Lexie Grey was different.

She was so much more.

"You look weird." Derek Shepherd's observation interrupted his thoughts.

"What?" Mark furred his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean weird?"

"I don't mean weird…Just unusually happy. What's with the grin?"

"Nothing." Mark quickly replied. "I guess I'm just in a really good mood today."

Derek eyed him suspiciously. "Okay then. I have to go meet Mer. You going to Joe's tonight?"

"Actually, I already have plans. Tomorrow maybe?"

"Sure. I'll see you around."

Mark sighed as he watched Derek walk away. He hated lying to his best friend about sleeping with his girlfriend's half sister. But he couldn't tell him. Not yet.

Lexie Grey was happy. Though most people at Seattle Grace would have never guessed it, being happy was rare. The last six weeks had been amazing, other then the set back of the broken penis. She smirked, though it had been an unfortunate incident it gave them the opportunity to really get to know each other.

"You look weird."

Slightly startled Lexie looked up to see Meredith. "What? Why?"

"Because you are working on charts and you have a huge smile on your face. No one likes charting."

"I guess I'm just…Happy."

"Standing in the middle of the hall daydreaming with a dopey smile plastered on your lips, happy?" Meredith asked skeptically.

"Yeah, I guess so." Lexie attempted to stop smiling, but failed miserably.

"Not that I'm not happy that you are happy, but, why?"

"I don't know…I guess I just am." Lexie lied.

"You are not high, are you?"

"What? No!" Lexie quickly defended herself.

"You not on any drugs of any kind?" Meredith asked.

"No! Seriously I am not on drugs. Can't I just be happy?"

"Um…Okay…Sure…" Meredith looked past Lexie and saw Derek. "There he is. I'll talk to you later Lex."

"Yeah okay." Lexie watched Meredith meet Derek and sighed in relief. That was too close. She wished she could tell Meredith why she was so happy. But she couldn't. Not yet anyway.

"Three!" Christina Yang voice barked at her.

"Yes, Dr. Yang?" Lexie quickly asked.

"You're in plastics today. So go."

"Thank you Dr. Yang." Lexie quickly made her way to plastics with a smile on her face. Spending the day with Mark didn't sound half bad.

TBC…? Sorry for the slow start. It will get better I promise.
