Keep it between us
What if mark didn't tell Derek when he did? Mark goes to tell Derek but sees how angry and distraught he looks and decides against it how much longer will Lexie and Mark be a secret for?
Chapter 1
"I couldn't tell him," says Mark as he enters his hotel room.
Lexie looks up.
"Not because I don't want to I do I want to shout it to the heavens. But he got to attached to that patient Jen and he looked distraught and I didn't want him to fly at me. I'll speak to him tomorrow I promise," says Mark
"Unbelievable I can't believe you, shouts Lexie
"Would you want me to get beat up?" asks Mark "Because I know Derek better then anyone if he has just had bad news and gets told something he doesn't like he it's not a pretty sight trust me," says Mark
"No," admits Lexie "But I'm leaving because this secret is making me sick not because I don't like it cuz if I didn't I would be with you but because I don't like to keep secrets it's like there's something bottled up inside me about to explode and I eat to much. I get fat. I have high blood pressure. So I'm leaving no sex. I will not be in a relationship were I can't admit it to my sister or to anyone the nurses look at you like your something to eat they flirt and make innuendoes and suggestive comments and I just want to punch them," says Lexie and with that she leaves.
Mark goes and buries his head in his hands.
The door creaks open.
"Forgot my car keys," mutters Lexie sheepishly
"I'll tell him I will," says Mark
Lexie shoots him a look of disdain, snatches up her keys and leaves.
Next day.
"Lexie hates me," says Mark
"What did you do?" asks Callie
"I didn't tell Derek," says Mark
"I don't blame you. Shephard look pretty pissed yesterday," says Callie
"I have to tell him today or she'll break up with me," says Mark
"That might be pretty hard," says Callie
"Why?" asks Mark
"Derek's awol," says Callie
"Crap," mutters Mark
After an hour of searching it is evident that Derek is not in Seattle Grace Hospital.
Mark pulls his phone out of his pocket and dials Derek's number.
It goes to voicemail countless times before Mark gives up and turns to an on-call room to get some rest. He had no sleep the night before he couldn't sleep without Lexie in his arms.
He opens the door and goes in only to find Lexie in there.
"Have you told him?" asks Lexie
"He's awol no one's seen him since yesterday," says Mark
"So?" asks Lexie
"No one knows were he is Lex not even Meredith knows," says Mark
"So go to the house, his trailer, Joe's," says Lexie
"Do you have a death wish for me?" asks Mark
"No but I won't see you anymore if you don't tell him," says Lexie
"Can we give him just a couple of days to calm down he looked so distraught yesterday I could see myself flying off the catwalk," says Mark
"Fine 2 days and not a second less or I'll tell him. I will stay at yours but no touching," says Lexie
"Impossible," says Mark
"Touch me and I'll break you again," says Lexie
"And we need to talk about that your place don't you get sick off the hotel room," she adds
"No," says Mark
But truth be told he was and he was looking for an apartment for him and Lexie. He was serious about this relationship and he wanted to progress. Hell he could see him and Lexie in 50, 60 years grey and old together with grand children.
"Are we done?" asks Mark
Lexie nods and Mark runs out of the room to protect his manhood from another break courtesy of Lexie Grey.
"What made Mark run out of here like that?" asks Callie entering the on call room
"I may have threaten his area," says Lexie
"On what grounds?" asks Callie
"On the grounds that I will stay at his tonight but there will be no touching until he tells Derek," says Lexie
"If you want no touching then don't stay at his," says Callie
"I don't think he wants me and Mer's in case Derek shows up or at crapartment because George is there and Mark is jealous," says Lexie
"Come stay at mine then," says Callie
"I'm fine he wants to know I safe. He wants to protect me and he wants to tell Derek I think he's just worried for his face," says Lexie "So I said I'd give him 2 days but no sex no touching and I'm going to be sleeping in his bed tonight," says Lexie
"Why doesn't he want you to stay at Meredith's in case Derek comes back Derek doesn't know so he shouldn't be angry at you so Mark has no right to tell you what to do," says Callie
"Tell Mark I went home as in crapartment," says Lexie
A while later.
"Hey Torres," calls Mark
Callie turns to look at him.
"Have you seen Lexie," he whispers
"She went to the crapartment," says Callie
"What she said she would come stay at mine," says Mark
"Mark yours is a hotel room," says Callie
Mark pulls his phone out of his pocket and shows Callie a picture.
"No way you got an apartment," says Callie
"Yeah and I'm going to ask her to move in with me. It makes sense her place is so cold. Derek is proposing to Meredith and they'll be married. Izzie and Karev are getting their own place. Meredith isn't going to want her little sister living in her attic," says Mark
"Good logic," says Callie
Mark goes to his hotel room and pulls out his phone dialling Lexie's number.
"Come home Lex please come home," says Mark on her voicemail.
