They had done it. Everybody knew that Lexie and Mark were together. In fact, it was pretty old news, so nobody really cared anymore anyway. Well, besides the occasional looks they received if they happened to lock eyes with Meredith or Derek. They had been together for 3 months, and now were moving in together. It would have sounded crazy to Mark if somebody had told him a year ago that this was the path his life was going to take, but George had moved out of the crapartment, and hotel living was getting old, so they both were moving on from their past and starting a life together.
Currently, they were unpacking all kinds of paraphernalia into their new luxurious apartment with the help of Callie and Sadie, who had been faithful friends throughout the whole relationship. It was supposed to be a group effort, but after some time the girls got bored and left Mark to finish. They were in the midst of eating the Chinese food they had ordered when they heard a groan, and they all looked over at Mark.
"I thought this was supposed to be you guys helping with the unpacking process, not a 'girls night' with me in the background doing the heavy lifting," he said gruffly trying to balance one box on top of another walking from the front room into their bedroom.
Lexie giggled and strutted over to him, taking the top box.
"And you pretend to be so manly," she snickered as she pinched his butt and ran past him into the bedroom.
He ran after her into the bedroom where she had just put the box down and picked her up and yelled, "You are going to pay for that!" He threw her down on top of their new bed and started tickling her ribs until her face was so red from laughing that she looked like she was going to pass out.
"Mercy!" she cried still laughing as she tried to pull away from him. When she was unsuccessful she tried to tickle him back, which resulted in him grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head. Their laughing came to a stop as she brought her lips up to his and let his tongue enter her mouth, his hips gyrating against hers. She was still aware that the door to the bedroom was open, but she could feel his hardness pressed against her and so she ignored it and pressed her body back into his.
He was starting to play with the hem of her shirt when they heard, "You two make me sick!"
Lexie quickly pushed Mark off of her and looked up to see Callie and Sadie standing in the doorway with amused expressions on their faces.
Lexie started to stutter, "I'm so sorry guys, we just were unpacking and got a little carried away..."
Callie's face broke into a grin and she said, "Chill Grey, you guys are allowed to be horny all the time, you're moving in together. We were leaving anyway."
Lexie's face relaxed, "Okay, well I'll show you out." She grabbed Mark's hand and they both went with the girls to the door where Lexie exchanged hugs with the girls and Mark resumed the unpacking process.
"Hey Lexie," Sadie said softly, just as she was about to exit. "I brought you a house warming gift." Lexie watched as she took a small paper bag out of her handbag and handed it to Lexie. "Enjoy!" she said wisely as she slipped out the door.
As soon as Lexie closed the door behind Sadie, Mark had his mouth on hers and was leading her back into the bedroom and the gift was quickly forgotten about.
