Just a funny little exchange between Alex and Izzie.
…
Izzie Stevens had a long day. After a 48-hour shift, she was finally going to get the day off. It was a beautiful day, too. She was cheerful as she shut her locker door, amidst the groans of her fellow interns, except Cristina, that is. Cristina thought of the hospital, the OR specifically, as home, and her real home, the apartment she shares with Dr. Burke, as work. She was cheerful as she pressed the elevator button. She was cheerful as Dr. Sloane unabashedly checked her out (his reflection was on the elevator doors) even though she thought that he was kind of a pervert and was in love with Dr. Shep—Montgomery. The cheer, however, was wiped out on her face the moment the crown in the elevator dispersed and she saw who was left inside.
"Evil spawn." Izzie said, pressing the button to close the elevator door.
"Bethany whisper." Alex replied with a vicious smirk on his face.
"Gynecologist."
"Nurse."
"Secretary."
"Adulterous whore."
Izzie gasped and hit Alex with her bag. "I'm sorry," He said, his voice sincere and kind, which was a rare occurrence.
"Really?" She asked, hopeful.
"Maybe." Alex whispered, winking at her.
"I see that you're leaving." Izzie observed. "Don't tell me you got kicked out of the program?" She said enthusiastically.
"Very funny. Blame it on the chief and his 80-hour work limit." Alex replied. "Don't worry. I'm not staying home."
"You're not?" Izzie said, barely hiding the disappointment in her tone.
"I'm going out." Alex said, "On a date." He leaned closer to Izzie. "A hot one." He whispered.
"You are?" She answered weakly. "Anyone I know? Or is it one of your syph nurses again?" She recoiled, scoffing.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Alex taunted. "I'm taking her for a picnic. On the beach." Izzie sighed. She loved the beach. "Then we're going to stay there until the sun sets. We're going to watch all of the beautiful colors meld together with my arm around her shoulders." Izzie frowned. "Then I'm taking her home, where we can watch her favorite movie while eating her favorite ice cream. We're going to sit there, laughing and talking and cuddling." Alex finished, smiling dreamily.
"O-oh." Izzie stuttered. "Well then, don't worry. I'll stay out of your way." She said. After a brief pause, she laughed nervously. What was wrong with her? Jealous? Of Alex's new girlfriend? She had no right to be jealous. After all, she did dump him for a dying man and she blew him off after he tried to make a move.
"Izzie, would you like to go out on a date with me?" Alex said, smiling mischievously. Izzie smiled brightly.
"Yes," She said, laughing with relief, "I would." She held out her hand to him, and he took it. The elevator made a familiar sound, signaling that they were at the ground floor. They walked out together, hand in hand.
"You were jealous, weren't you?" Alex asked, curious, finally understanding her weird behavior in the elevator.
"Right." Izzie replied, shoving him playfully.
