Later on that evening Lexie laid on her stomach in bed looking out of her window. Meredith was sound asleep in her bed quietly snoring. You could always tell when she was in a deep sleep as long as she was snoring. The backyard was filled with trees, she could only imagine what the house looked like in the winter covered in white fluffy snow.
Being here only made her fall in love with Seattle even more. Glancing at the nearby alarm clock she realized it was nearly two in the morning. Lexie generally liked to sleep in but she new that wouldn't be an option tomorrow. Her mom had planned a huge breakfast and the family was too be up by at least nine.
Deciding it was time to sleep Lexie pulled her quilt up under her chin and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
"Lexie wake up," Meredith said with a groan as she threw her pillow at her younger sister. "Its nearly nine and I can here mom cooking down stairs."
"I'm up, I'm up." Lexie said with a groan as she pulled the covers up over her head.
"Well I'm gonna go wash up before breakfast." Meredith said as she walked into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.
Later on that afternoon Lexie and Meredith were exploring the city. "Let go see the space needle." Lexie told Meredith as they walked down the street. Even though it was Mid June the temperature was only in the seventies. Both girls has on a pair of jeans and short sleeved shirts.
"Its probably way crowded because its Saturday lets do that during the week."
"Well how about we go shopping?"
"Sounds good to me. I could use some new clothes." Meredith said with a smile.
Later on that afternoon Lexie and Meredith were sitting down in a both at a small diner. The place was cute with its seventy themed car booths and a juke box in the corner. The two sisters chit chatted while they waited for the waitress to bring them there orders, a burger and fries for Lexie and a salad and chocolate shake for Meredith,
"Ya know I think a chocolate shake defeats the whole purpose of the salad." Lexie told Meredith as there food was placed in front of them.
"They forgot my barbeque sauce." Lexie said as she eat a fry. "I'll be right back." Taking her napkin off her lap she placed it on the table and walked over towards the counter.
Sitting down waiting patiently for a worker to catch her attention she notices that a guy maybe a few years older then her keeps staring at her out of the corner of his eye. He was fairly tall looking with brown hair and a little stubble on his chin. He had on jeans and a leather jacket and Lexie couldn't help but realize how insanely hot he was.
"I don't think I have seen you around her before." He said when he noticed her staring.
"Oh I- um I'm here for a month with my parents." Lexie said trying not to blush.
"Well I'm Mark, Mark Sloan."
"Lexie Grey." She replied with a smile. She couldn't help but smile with Mark sitting there by her.
"Here is your barbeque sauce." The cook told her as he handed it to Lexie.
"I should probably go sit back down with my sister." She told him as she pointed towards Meredith who was watching the two very intently.
"It was nice to meet you Lexie."
"You too Mark." She replied with a sort of awkward wave as she walked back to Meredith and he walked out of the door.
"What was that about?" Meredith asked as soon as Lexie sat down. "He was hot!"
"I honestly have no idea." Lexie said as she dipped a fry in her sauce. "But he was hot wasn't he?" She said with a huge grin on her face.
"McTasty."
"McSteamy. Definitely McSteamy." Lexie said as the two sisters laughed.
"So did you girls have a good day?" Thatcher asked later on that evening.
"Lexie meet a guy!" Meredith said just as Lexie kicked her under the table giving her the evil eye. "Ow!" She said with a pout as she rubbed her now throbbing shin.
"Was he cute?" Susan asked her younger daughter with a smile.
"We just talked while I waited for some barbeque sauce at the restaurant." Lexie explained as she pushed around her mashed potatoes. Meredith was going to pay for this.
"Honey your blushing!" Susan gushed, most likely causing Lexie to turn even more red.
"Mom it was nothing." Lexie replied a little too coldly as she picked up her plate and walked over to the sink, rinsing it off. "I'm going for a run." She told the rest of the family before running up stairs to change.
Lexie loved to go on runs. It was the one time she felt like she could actually think and clear her head. Slipping her headphones into her ear she played some new Kesha song and began to lightly jog. Mark was hot, no make that gorgeous but she didn't even know him. She only talked to him for a mer two minutes if that. She new nothing about him, he could be some creepy dude that only likes to get in girls pants or something. Plus she did not need a summer fling. She needed to focus on college applications and anything that can help her get into the surgical intern program once she graduates college.
Wrapped up in her thoughts and music Lexie didn't realize she had bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" Lexie said as she paused her music.
"Well if it isn't the new girl in town." Mark Sloan said with a smirk.
"I'm sorry!" Lexie replied again out of breath. "I was wrapped up in my own little world and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"Hey, no big deal." Mark told her with a smile. "So you're a jogger?"
"It gives me time to think."
"So you're a thinker?"
"You could say that."
Soon the two began to walk side by side as they got caught up in there conversation.
"So Lexie, what brings you to Seattle?" Mark asked a little while later.
"My dad is opening up a mechanics shop, me my mom and my older sister Meredith came along with him. Iv always wanted to come to Seattle though." she told him. "I want to be a doctor, a surgeon actually, and I want to do my residency here at Seattle Grace."
"A Surgeon?"
"Yup, ever since I was ten and I got into a car wreck. Both me and my mom had to have surgery. Those surgeons saved our lives and now I want to save peoples lives."
"I'm studying medicine in college." Mark told her. "I graduate this spring and will be doing my surgical residency here in Seattle." He told her with a laugh.
"No way!" Lexie said shocked. "Do you know what specialty you want to do?"
"Don't laugh at me ok?" Lexie nodded. "I want to be a plastic surgeon."
"You want to help girls get boobs?" Lexie said with a chuckle.
"Not just boobs!" Mark said defending himself. "I want to open up a special burn clinic and work with burn patients."
"Well that is better then giving people boobs and tummy tucks."
"Thank you!"
Lexie hadn't realized it was already pitch dark out until that moment. Glancing at her watch she saw that it was nearly nine o'clock. "I should probably start heading home. I didn't realize it was getting this late."
"Let me walk you." Mark said as they turned around and began walking the direction that Lexie came from.
"This is my house." Lexie said twenty minutes later when they reached her driveway.
"I had a great time tonight." Mark told her.
"Me too." She said with a smile. It was true she had an amazing time with Mark.
"Look," Mark said as he ran his hand through his hair. "A friend of mine is having a party Friday night, you should come. You can bring your sister."
"A party sounds fun." Lexie told him with a smile.
"Here is my number." Mark said grabbing a pen out of his pocket and writing his number on his hand. "Text me for directions. Bye Lexie."
"Bye Mark." Lexie said as she waved bye and happily skipped down the driveway and into the house. Her night couldn't have gotten any better.
